21、   Many of the New World supermarkets in New Zealand are letting their fruits and vegetables go packaging-free. In an innovative project pioneered by the New World supermarket located at Bishopdale in Christchurch, this change has led to an amazing increase in sales according to The New Zealand Herald. "We monitor them year on year and after we introduced the idea, we noticed sales of spring onions, for example, had increased by 300 percent," Bishopdale’s owner Nigel Bond told NZ Herald. "There may have been other factors at play, but we noticed similar increases in other vegetables." Bond explained, "When we first set up the new shelving, our customers were blown away. It reminded me of when I was a kid going to the fruiterer with my Dad you could smell the fresh oranges and spring onions. By wrapping products in plastic, we sanitize and keep people away from this experience, it was a huge regret for us."

This new project is part of the movement to do away with all single-use plastic packaging. There are actually government regulations that went into effect on July 1, 2019 for a phase out(强制逐步淘汰) of plastic bags by all retailers. Plastics take up as much as 20 percent of New Zealand's landfill space to 252,000 tons per year.

The idea for the unwrapped produce came from Bond. He went on a study tour in the US and was impressed by the sales at Whole Foods. Then he spoke to growers and suppliers who were more than happy to look at different ways to provide produce without the plastic packaging.

Now, most of the produce is plastic-free but some items - including grapes and some tomatoes - still come wrapped in plastic. Nine New World supermarkets in the South Island have followed the Bishop dales stores example. And New World is testing another new way to BYO (=bring your own) containers for the meat and seafood departments. All of this is a part of the supermarket chain commitment to sustainable practices.

【1】What's the result of making vegetables go packaging-free?

A．An innovative project was carried out.

B．More vegetables have been sold.

C．Nigel Bond monitored sales stricter.

D．Other factors were found to play the role.

【2】Which of the following is the content of regulations going into effect in 2019?

A．Not using all single-use plastic packaging.

B．Limiting the development of retailers.

C．Stopping using plastic bags gradually.

D．Building more New Zealand's landfill space.

【3】What made Bond have the idea for the unwrapped produce?

A．Whole Foods’ sales.

B．His study in the college.

C．His impression from work.

D．Growers and suppliers' requirements.

【4】What can be the suitable title for the text?

A．New World's Fruits and Vegetables Going Packaging-Free.

B．New Zealand's Supermarkets Calling for Environmental protection.

C．New Zealand's Contribution to Reducing the Use of Plastics.

D．New World's Supermarkets' New Ways to Promote Sales.

22、   Smooth balls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these “ice eggs” come from?

Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus 1degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. “There we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line”.

The “ice eggs” littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer ball. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had “never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. “I've never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice balls,” said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she’d seen snowballs line the shoreline before, but not over such a large area.

“Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach.” said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks(块) of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide or get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water' s surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击) the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny “eggs” for curious tourists to happen upon.

【1】The underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by_ _

A.pulled through B.survived from

C.ran across D.took notes of

【2】What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A.It was a very unusual phenomenon. B.Ice eggs gathered in a football field.

C.Only a quarter of the area was stricken. D.The beach was completely ice-covered.

【3】According to Goodfellow, how did the “ice eggs” come into being?

A.By means of sea water buffeting the wood chunks.

B.On the basis of the strong force of the cold wind.

C.By way of the special location and cold weather.

D.Through a rare combination of weather and waves.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.An extraordinary trip of “ice eggs”. B.The power of wind and seawater.

C.A strange weather-based occurrence. D.How snowball affected the shoreline.

23、   My colleagues and I investigated the presence of the “musical reminiscence bump(音乐记忆突点)” in a group of 470 adults who were between 18 and 82 years old. Our aim was to investigate how a person’s age when a song was popular affected three related but distinct concepts: the degree to which the song was associated with autobiographical memories, how familiar the song was and how much they liked the song.

Participants in our study were shown the titles and artists of 111 pop songs across a 65-year period (1950-2015) and provided ratings of the three concepts of interest.

We discovered that music during one’s adolescence was not only rated as more familiar, but was also associated with more autobiographical memories. This music-related reminiscence bump reached the highest around age 14. In addition, older adults (around age 40+) also liked songs from their adolescence more than other songs. However, younger adults (aged 18-40) did not show this same trend, and in some cases gave even lower liking ratings to music from their adolescence than music released before they were born.

This suggests that songs from our adolescence can become closely related with memories from our past even if we don’t personally value the music. This may be because it has accompanied various memorable settings from this period.

Some songs were preferred regardless of a participant’s age, however. For instance, we saw a general increase in how much people liked songs from the late 1970s to early 1980s, even in participants who weren’t yet born during that time period. This suggests pop music from certain time periods is intergenerationally valued. Examples of songs we used from this time period include Hotel California by the Eagles and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

【1】Participants in the investigation are___________.

A．expected to comment on the songs.

B．to test the three concepts of songs.

C．ranging in ages from a kid to a senior.

D．provided the titles and singers of the songs.

【2】What do we know about the age 14 in Paragraph 3?

A．People listen to songs less after this age.

B．People’s preferences of songs divide at this age.

C．People get most memories from songs of this age.

D．People at this age begin to have autobiographical memories.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Some songs keep alive beyond time.

B．Years around 1980 are a golden age for music.

C．The memorable situation of a song decides its popularity.

D．Hotel California and Billie Jean are adored across nations.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Music Changes Our Life.

B．Everyone Is a Follower of Songs.

C．We’re Crazy about Music from Our Youth.

D．Songs Possess the Unique Features of a Time .

24、Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of the country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use liners (活衬里) from old coats to line the insides.

It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and portable,” Oleita told the Detroit News.

Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and it created 110 sleeping bags last December.

Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty are often closely related. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The final goal of Chip Bag Project.

B．The basic rules of Chip Bag Project.

C．The main work of Chip Bag Project.

D．The significance of Chip Bag Project.

【2】What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project?

A．Its size is adjustable.

B．It is easy to carry around.

C．It has the function of heating.

D．It is only made of old coats.

【3】Which of the following statements does Oleita probably agree with?

A．Making sleeping bags is easier than buying new ones.

B．Poverty and environmental problems go hand in hand.

C．Making sleeping bags is the best way to help the homeless.

D．Environmental problems have little impact on the homeless.

【4】Which of the following best describes Oleita?

A．Caring and creative.

B．Brave and optimistic.

C．Honest and determined.

D．Talented and easy-going.
