21．（6分）It has been seen as a hi-tech bike-sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while transforming China's traffic-jammed cities.
But, occasionally, dreams can turn less pleasant. In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, more than 500 bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets, according to reports. Pictures showed vehicles nearly three
metres high, with small parts on the ground. City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose.
The sharing economy is taking off in China, where ride-sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace. From Shanghai to Sichuan province, bike-sharing are being started in an effort to reduce traffic jam and air pollution by puttin g a country once known as the “Kingdom of Bicycles” back on two wheels.
Companies such as Ofo and Mobike, with their yellow and orange bikes, have been in a cut-throat battle for customers. But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles. “Some people these days just have really bad character,’’ a man named He，who lives near where the piles appeared, told the Southern Metropolis Daily. When they're done using (the bike) they just throw it away somewhere, because they've already paid. Residents told the paper that hikes had been piling up over the past week, either parked random by careless users or piled by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths.
Zhuang Chuangyu, a representative at Shenzhen's municipal people s congress, said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike-sharing industry in order to improve conditions and safety standards, especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes.
In 1980, almost 63% of commuters cycled to work, the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015, citing government data. But by 2000 that number had decreased to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%. Car use, meanwhile, has rocketed. In 2010 China overtook the US to become the worlds largest car market, with 13.5 m vehicles sold in just 12 months.
1、The underlined word “Dreams” in Paragraph 2 does not include.
A．entrepreneurs making a lot of money
B．hike-sharing boom
C．vehicles being used well
D．transforming China’s traffic-jammed cities
2、What is mentioned about the sharing economy?
A．It refers to smart phones and apps. B．China has taken a step in it.
C．Airbnb has been a common thing. D．It is widespread across China.
3、What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A．Ofo and Mobike are yellow and orange bikes.
B．Ofo and Mobike have really bad character.
C．Ofo and Mobike cause the clients to abandon their cycles.
D．Ofo and Mobike are in competition with each other.
4、Which of the following may the author agree with?
A．Careless users and local guards are to blame for the piling bikes.
B．Many users lack proper behavior in using the bikes.
C．Regulations should be strict for schoolchildren.
D．China overtook the US becoming hack on two wheels.
22．（8分）At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you’d call prime real estate. But it was mine.
I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.
I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some plowshares, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina ea ch week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”
Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2½-ton Studebaker truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!
I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.
1、When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina, ________.
A．it was well equipped B．he was unsatisfied with it
C．it was not a real estate D．he worked very hard on it
2、The underlined word “liberating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word ________.
A．upset B．interesting
C．free D．boring
3、The author regards buying the Missouri farm as a good idea because _______.
A．he was able to sell it at the price of $3,500
B．he could recall plenty of experiences in his own farm
C．he got the chance to meet his wife working at a church in Shelbina then
D．he could purchase another house in Illinois as a result of successful farming
23．（8分）On average, primary school children in England have at least three sugary snacks a day, Public
Health England (PHE) found. This means that the sugar they consume is three times more than the recommended maximum.
Children between the ages of 4 and 10 consume 51.2% of sugar from unhealthy snacks. PHE has launched a campaign, Change4Life, to encourage parents to look for healthier snacks of no more than 100 calories, and to limit them to two a day. The campaign advises parents to give their children a maximum of two snacks a day, with each containing no more than 100 calories. The campaign will also offer parents special suggestions on a range of healthier snacks—ones with 100 calories or fewer—at selected supermarkets, PHE said.
PHE said it had also improved its app so that it could mark the content of sugar, salt and fat in food and drinks. Dr Alison Tedstone told the BBC she hoped the campaign would help parents to choose healthier snacks for their children. “If you wander through a supermarket, you can see much more goods being sold as snacks than ever before,” she said, “It’s a common phenomenon that kids’ lunchboxes are full of snacks, leading to a lot of calories for lunch. Our research shows that parents usually appreciate a rule of thumb (经验法则). However, they are surprised to know how much sugar their children are consuming in snacks now.”
Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet, said, “The intake (摄入量) of sugar that kids are getting from snacks and sugary drinks alone is pretty astonishing, and it can often be difficult to distinguish which snacks are healthy and which are not. The rule of thumb from Change4Life can help parents make their decision correctly and wisely. ”
1、In terms of snacks, the Change4Life recommends that children have at most ________.
A．one snack a day B．three snacks a day
C．100 calories a day D．200 calories a day
2、What can PHE’s improved app help parents do?
A．Test the calories of snacks.
B．Choose delicious snacks.
C．Know the exact content in snacks.
D．Save much money buying snacks.
3、Which of the following can be inferred from Justine Roberts’ words?
A．Most parents’ former experience about snacks is practical.
B．It is easy to tell healthy snacks and unhealthy snacks apart.
C．Children only take in lots of sugar from snacks and drinks.
D．Change4Life is meaningful for parents’ decisions on snacks.
4、What is the best title for the text?
A．Solve the Health Problems of Children
B．Change the Eating Habits of Children
C．Limit Children’s Intake of Calories
D．E nsure Children’s Healthy Lifestyle
24．（8分）The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season, causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant owners—and relief isn't likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.
Everything that's produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to water the grass.
"I quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up," said 59-year-old Len Markham, who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.
Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then, the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. "It really puts more pressure on the small guys," he said of non-chain restaurants. "I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low."
“White-tablecloth restaurants have adju sted the size of their steaks, making them thinner”, says Jim Robb, director of the Colorado-based Livestock Marketing Information Center. “And fast-food restaurants are cutting costs by reducing the number of menu items and are offering other meat options, including turkey burgers, Robb said. Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can, which essentially gives them a discount”, Iowa State University assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.
The high prices are welcome news for at least one group: ranchers(大农场经营者), especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought（干旱）and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief, some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits — switching to chicken or pork. Pete Bonds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said that's a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. “Three years ago, economists tho ught consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. We're surprised we haven't seen more of that," he said.
South Dakota rancher Chuck O'Connor thinks that consumers won’t abandon beef for good. "I'm sure some are maybe going to cut back some, but to say that people aren't going to buy it anymore, I don't think that's going to happen," he said, adding, "I hope not."
1、The price of beef has increased because ________.
A．there is a growing demand of fresh beef among Americans
B．cattle producers have succeeded in raising a new type of cattle
C．there is a lack of rain and the export of beef is increasing
D．ranchers have found ways to deal with high feed prices
2、Which method is NOT used by restaurant owners to deal with the high beef prices?
A．They have made the steaks smaller than before.
B．They have increased the prices of beef-related dishes.
C．They have made hamburgers with many other kinds of meat.
D．They have sought discount by purchasing large amounts of beef.
3、Jim Robb gives an example in the sixth paragraph in order to ________.
A．tell people that it is a tough job to look for substitutions for beef
B．show his fear that chicken or pork may be an alternative to beef
C．explain that customers won’t change their buying habits com pletely
D．indicate that ranchers may be least affected by the high beef prices
25．（10分）Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi. However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).
Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕). “I thought it was a log,” Caid said. “I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone.
“They didn’t expect to find that,” Michael’s mom said. “Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they’re digging up when they are digging and playing.”
“We’ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that’s what I thought it was,” the brothers’ mother said. “This is our first set of teeth we’ve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”
They were exploring near the brothers’ home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”
The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).
1、How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?
A．With great efforts. B．By chance.
C．Instructed by an expert. D．Through imagination.
2、At first the brothers’ mother thought the jawbone was________.
A．from people who died in the Civil War B．the bone from a very mature individual
C．like a log or something D．the prehistoric bone
3、The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it________.
A．helps people to know more about the Civil War
B．teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings
C．promotes the research on more prehistoric creatures
D．attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A．Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in Mississippi
B．Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War Relics
C．First Identifying Bone as a “Very Mature Individual”
D．Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone
