21、 For many of us, summertime means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust and bird poop on the exterior of our vehicles. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?
The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water being used and the types of chemicals used to remove the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. She advises car owners to put aside a set amount of water for the entire wash. “It’s just like brushing your teeth,” she says, “You don’t want to leave the water running of more than you need for the job.” But even following this advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway or street flushes the dirty water into storm drains.
John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather, his organization works to educate the public about storm sewers (下水道) and water runoff, keeping this untreated water from entering the Allegheny region’s waterways. “We ask people to, consider washing their cars on lawns or other permeable (透水的) surfaces where the water gets absorbed,” Schombert says. “Soil can break down and help filter (过滤) those things,” Schombert says. “Storm sewers are not made for waste disposal.” Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their cars, which Schombert says are probably ineffective at breaking down grease anyway.
The commercial car wash down the street knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in storm sewers. According to the International Carwash Association (ICA), professional car washes must use water reclamation systems. These mandated processes not only keep the dirty water out of storm sewers and regular water treatment systems, but they also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities.
【1】What worries people when they have their cars washed?
A.The dirt cannot be removed easily.
B.Larger quantities of water are wasted.
C.The washing ways do no good to their cars.
D.The used chemicals are harmless to the environment.
【2】What’s the disadvantage of washing cars at home?
A.It is not easy to deal with.
B.It cannot clean the dirt completely.
C.It consumes a larger amount of water.
D.It does much damage to the environment.
【3】What is John’s company mainly about?
A.Purifying untreated water.
B.Helping the public protect waterways.
C.Advocating controlling soil and water loss.
D.Raising the public’s awareness of air protection.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.Do you put car washing at risk?
B.Which is better: Car wash or DIY?
C.Why dish washers are better than hand washing?
D.Do Americans use less water than they did years ago?
22、Allergies（过敏）cause loads of trouble. Some people suffer from seasonal hay fever as pollen（花粉）flows through the air. Others react to materials at their very touch. And some sorry souls go into shock at the mere presence of certain foods, particularly peanuts and shellfish.
The cause in each case is an oversensitive immune system. This creates annoying and sometimes life-threatening symptoms. Over-reactive immune systems may not, though, be an entirely bad thing. Another role played by the immune system is to destroy malignant tumors（恶性肿瘤）before they take hold—work carried out recently by Annette Wigertz of the Karolinska Institute, in Stockholm, and her colleague suggests that the immune systems of those with allergies may be particularly good at this.
This finding came after Doctor Wigertz and her team interviewed 1, 527 people with gliomas（a type of brain tumor）in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the southeast of England. The researchers asked the patients in question whether they had a history of allergies, and then compared the results with those for 3, 309 otherwise similar individuals who did not have brain tumors. As Doctor Wigertz reports in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the tumor-free were more likely to suffer from allergies. The presence of an allergy was associated with a 30% reduction in the likelihood of having a glioma.
This was not all that surprising. Previous research had detected similar correlations, suggesting that a welcome side effect of allergy was resistance to cancer. But this new study went further. It looked carefully at the time in the patients' lives when their allergies were active, and it found that this timing was crucial. Doctor Wigertz noted that the absence of allergy was correlated with the time when the glioma first formed.
Awkwardly, this result is open to two rather different interpretations. The optimistic explanation is that the hyperactive immune system associated with allergy does protect against tumors. The other interpretation is that tumors are doing something as they grow that stops the immune system and thus allergic reactions. Either way, tumor and lack of allergy coincide. And either way, something interesting is going on.
【1】What accounts for most allergies?
A．Pollen in-the air.
B．Presence of some food.
C．Sensitivity of the immune system.
D．Overreacting to the world.
【2】How is this finding different from those from the previous research?
A．It indicates a benefit of allergy.
B．It uncovers the cause of allergies.

【3】What's the last paragraph about?
A．What explains the finding of the research.
B．Why the research on allergy is of significance.
C．Whether cancer is related to the absence of allergy.
D．How allergy protects people against cancers.

23、
In winter Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.
I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Also, I had long harboured a half-formed urge to
experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush（融雪） of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.
Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn't find a cab and had to drag my unreasonably overweighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the overcharged 1,200-kroner bus fare-they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming from the endless uphill exertion（费力）that is my life, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.
"This isn't happening," I said. "I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas．Pass me a
drop more port, will you, darling?" Actually, I said, "There must be some mistake. Please look
again."
The girl studied the passenger list. "No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here·”
But I could see it, even upside-down. "There it is, second from the bottom.”
"No," the girl decided, "that says Bemt Bjornson. That's a Norwegian name·”
"It doesn't say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop（圆圈） of the 'y', the two
'I's. Miss, please." But she wouldn't have it. "If I miss this bus when does the next one go?"
"Next week at the same time．，，
Oh, splendid.
"Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson."
"No, it doesn't."
"Miss, look, I've come from England. I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's
life.” She didn't buy this. "I want to see the manager."
"He's in Stavanger.”
"Listen, I made a reservation by telephone．If I don't get on this bus I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects（前景）for the rest of this century." This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. "If this Bemt Bjornson doesn't show up, can I have his seat?"
"Sure.”
Why don't I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? "Thank you," I said, and dragged my bag outside.
【1】What words can best describe Hammerfest in winter?
A. Grey and dirty.
B. Dark and cold.
C. Unfriendly and expensive.

【2】Why did the author mention the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate?

【3】What could be inferred from the passage?

24、Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.”
Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.
The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies.
“It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton.
【1】What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph?
A．The desire to lead a sustainable life.
B．The good intention to help recycling.
C．The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills.
D．The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled.
【2】What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis?
A．People are becoming more eco-conscious.
B．Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years.
C．Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities.
D．People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin.
【3】Which of the following is a proper way of recycling?
A．Dispose of electronics together with household waste.
B．Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label.
C．Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not.
D．Cutoff the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Recycling: a Big Project
B．Wish-cycling: a New Trend
C．Wish-cycling: a Growing Concern
D．Pre-cycling: an Effective Method
