21、You may think, salt is just a simple cooking element we shake on our food for a little extra taste. But salt is much more than that. Without salt our muscles would not move. Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat.
But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound. To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to purposefully make a bad situation worse.
Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word "salary" comes from the word "salt".
Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food fresh，they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explored the world.
Salt was so important that, according to food historians. it was traded pound-for-pound for gold. Today, people still use the expressions "to be worth one's salt" or "worth one's weight in salt". The expressions describe a person of value.
A person might also be called salt of the earth. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say "I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt" you mean you accept it but maintain a degree of doubt about its truth.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Salt plays an important part in our life.
B. Salt makes food tasty.
C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles.
D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems.
【2】A beggar's bread was stolen last night.，which means .
A. salt of the earth B. rubbing salt in a wound
C. a diet low in salt D. worth his salt
【3】If you describe a person as a great help, you mean .
A. he is called salt of the earth
B. he is often taken as a grain of salt
C. he often uses salt to preserve meat
D. he is worth his weight in salt
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Salt Is More Than a Four-letter Word.
B. Salt Is a Basic Element in Cooking.
C. Salt Is a Word with a Long History.
D. Salt Is Popular with Different Persons.
22、In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, online shopping is already a major part of daily life, leaving limited room for growth. As a result, e-commerce companies are increasingly turning to smaller cities and rural areas, where disposable income remains relatively high, in part due to lower living costs.
For example, Alibaba said its penetration(渗透)rate in developed parts of China is 85%, versus 40% in less developed areas. The company added that for the quarter ended June 30, more than 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.
Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have yet to experience e-commerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the last untapped (未开发的)markets for e-commerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure (基础设施) and logistics (物流)support, exacerbated by the lower population densities in rural areas.
Where the delivery infrastructure falls short, e-commerce companies have found other ways to reach consumers. Going door-to-door in sparsely populated villages can be a costly practice, so mini-distribution hubs like Rural Taobao can serve as pickup points. JD, which runs its own in-house logistics network, is making drones (无人机) that can bring up to 1 metric ton of packages to the rural areas, said the company’s chief technology officer last June.
The race to be the first U.S. company delivering packages via drone took a new turn earlier this summer, when Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer chief Jeff Wilke unveiled the company’s latest drone model at an event in Las Vegas. He pledged that Prime Air, Amazon’s drone delivery program, would be delivering packages to customers “in months.” Amazon appears to be throwing more resources into its drone aspirations than its competitors, which makes sense given that drone delivery could be very advantageous to Amazon’s core business. Certainly, it is impossible for China’s e-commerce giants to sit around waiting for his competitors in the race of setting up logistics network.
【1】The e-commerce companies are turning to smaller cities and rural areas because .
A．Online shopping in less developed cities has big potential to grow compared to big cities .
B．In rural areas, the living costs are lower.
C．People in rural areas have a great interest in online shopping.
D．There are not enough shops of good brand for people to visit in rural areas.
【2】What do we know about the e-commerce shopping in the rural areas of China ?
A．By the end of the year, over 70% of the increase in annual active consumers was from those less developed areas.
B．Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese have experienced e-commerce shopping.
C．The online shopping in rural areas advances slowly mainly due to inadequate infrastructure and logistics support
D．Going door- to- door to send packages makes people pay more for online shopping.
【3】What does paragraph4 mainly tell us?
A．E-commerce companies have many ways to reach consumers everywhere.
B．JD is making drones to help send packages in rural areas.
C．Some ways to deliver packages in the places without adequate delivery infrastructure.
D．Delivery infrastructure falls short in the rural areas.
【4】If the passage continues, What will the following part be about ?
A．The approaches the e-commerce giants in China are taking to set up logistics network.
B．The possible results that Amazon’s drone will bring.
C．E-commerce giants will follow Amazon’s way to invest drones.
D．What JD is doing in setting logistics network.

24、They follow you in the street. They ask you for money and they don’t leave you alone when you try to say no. They are the aggressive street-working, fund-raising charity workers, otherwise known as “chuggers”.
The term “chugger” is a combination of two words, “charity” and “mugger”. Chuggers often work in the street. They set up a stall with information about the charity they represent, and they try to get you to donate money to the charity. Typically, they prey on your feelings of guilt, greeting you with questions such as, “Do you care about the planet?” or, “When was the last time you did something for someone else?”
But a survey of their strategies has found that some charity volunteers are far from charitable. “Many chuggers simply refuse to back off when asked to do so,’’ said Brian Jones, a spokesperson for a charity watchdog (监察人). “One of the problems is that some chuggers say they are working as volunteers,” he added. “However, they aren’t really. Most of the 50 chuggers we spoke to showed little interest in anything other than raising the maximum amount of cash in the minimum amount of time. They get paid from this so it makes sense. Also, a fifth of fundraisers had no visible ID and almost a quarter failed to give clear information about the cause they were representing. By employing chuggers who break the law, tell lies or refuse to leave members of the public alone, charities undermine the trust we all instinctively have in them.”
But Shirley Bosworth, chief executive of the Institution of Fundraising, said face-to-face fundraising remains “an appropriate and effective method”. “It enables charities to engage with a particular demographic of donor, and it means that charity and donor can enter into a dialogue about what the charity does and how the donor’s money will be used,” she explained.

A. betray
B. strengthen
C. build
D. weaken
【4】How does Shirley Bosworth feel about what chuggers do?
A. It’s useful. B. It’s disgusting.
C. It’s absurd. D. It’s popular.
