21、Jersey City is holding its first annual mural(壁画)festival and the event is an exhibition of color and art. Over 70 artists showed their art pieces on over 50 walls. Tons of paint was used. Thousands of square meters of art were created. Guests were Unused and impressed.
Jersey city has always been popular with street artists. Salvador Dali, David Bowie, Mike Tyson and many other famous faces from different times are looking at guests from the city walls. But in the last seven years, over 150 colorful artworks have appeared on the city walls.
Jersey City officials approved the idea and made the Jersey City mural festival an annual event. “We have one of the most dynamic mural programs in the entire country. Today speaks to the fact that the investment in arts and culture is going to lead the way back for us. People appreciate it and want to live in a city like Jersey city for these exact reasons.”
Hundreds of artists hoping to be part of the festival presented their projects in advance for official approval. Officials selected the art based on creativity and execution(实施). There were no limitations when it came to the theme or subject. They ranged from political to abstract. Almost 80 artists participated this year. The whole city was decorated with these grand murals.
Tasty food, refreshing drinks, art and lively conversations — the festival proved to be a magnet for both tourists and locals. Communities were brought together through art.
While the festival only lasts a few days, the murals will stay on the city walls until next year when more art finds its way into the public spaces of Jersey City.

22、 When we learn to drive, we need to learn basic skills such as how to switch on the engine, turn on the wipers, operate the brakes, etc. before we actually take to the road. Once the lower order operations and skills listed above have been automatized or at least routinized to the extent that we do not have to pay attention to them (by-pass Working Memory's attentional systems), we can actually be safe in the assumption that we can wholly focus on the higher order skills which will allow us to take the split seconds decisions that will prevent us from getting lost, clash with other cars, break the traffic laws while dealing with our children messing about in the back seats.
This is what the brain does, too, when learning languages. Because Working Memory has a very limited space available when performing any task, the brain has learnt to automatize lower order skills so that, by being performed “subconsciously' they free up cognitive(认知）space.So, for instance, if I am an advanced speaker who has routinized accurate pronunciation, grammar and syntax to a fairly high degree, I will be able to devote more conscious attention (Working Memory space) to the message I want to put across. On the other hand, if I still struggle with pronunciation, word order, irregular verb forms and tenses most of my attention will be taken up by the mechanics of what I want to say, rather than the meaning; this will slow me down and limit my ability to think through what I want to say due to cognitive overload.
In language teaching this important principle translates as follows: in order to enable our students to focus on the higher order skills involved in comprehension and production we need to ensure that the lower-order ones have been acquired or performance will be reduced.

A.We should improve our driving skills on the road.
B.Our basic driving will be better as time goes on and on.

D.Driving and language learning share similar skills.
【3】What does the underlined word"this"in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The meaning we want to express.
B.Struggle with language learning problems.
C.Spending more time on the topic.
D.Devoting more conscious attention.
【4】What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A.Well begun,half done.
B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Practice makes perfect.
D.Learn to walk before you run.
23、When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favourite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy ! But after a few years, my obsession stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.
In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It’s no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs are often filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.
Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.
A. parents needn’t worry about celebrity worship
B. celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C. it’s normal for a teen to have celebrity worship
D. celebrity worship only exists among teens
【2】We can learn from the second paragraph that________.
A. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
【3】Parents should become concerned when their children________.
A. talk a lot about celebrities with others
B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms
C. ask to go to their favourite star’s concert
D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
【4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.
B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.
C. What to do with children’s celebrity worship syndrome?
D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome?
24、A friend sent me an email, asking if I'd consider writing about educational apps for children to watch while on road trips. The email said, "Many are turning to road trips. And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps should also develop their art, math and design skills."
While I realize the intention is well-meaning, and doubtless would lead to a quieter car ride for the parents, the thought of sticking kids in front of screens on a road trip makes me queasy. You see, if they're glued to a screen for hours on end, they will miss everything that's going by outside the window. And that means they'll miss out an a major part of the trip and the opportunity to engage in conversation with family members, but to be alone with their own thoughts, or simply to be bored.
There is so much to see on a road trip! Cars, trees, faces, building, markets, airplanes landing-the entire world is out there, and staring at it from the backseat of a car familiarizes a child with what is going on.
I have a theory that paying attention to one's surroundings while traveling by car helps children develop an internal compass. If they don't pay attention during all those years when they're being driven, they'll struggle to know where to go and how to locate themselves once they're independent. This doesn't mean they have to be alert (警惕的) for the entire journey, but not being on a screen naturally allows for a higher level of engagement with one's surroundings. When you listen to music, you'll look up occasionally; you'll pay attention to landmarks.
What can children do on the trip? Actually, there are plenty of off-screen activities.
【1】What was the author's friend's intention to develop apps?
A．To make some extra money.
B．To seek advice on educating kids.
C．To entertain and educate children.
D．To improve the relationship in the family.
【2】Which can best replace the underlined word "queasy" in paragraph 2?
A．Uncomfortable.
B．Tired.
C．Unsafe.
D．Lonely.
【3】What is the author's opinion on focusing on the surroundings when traveling?
A．It can raise children's environmental awareness.
B．It can help children develop a sense of direction.
C．It can give children the courage to learn to drive.
D．It can enable children to become more independent.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Take the Chance of Traveling to Relax Yourself.
B．Say Goodbye to Educational Apps on Your Holiday
C．Learn to Look up from Your Screens from Time to Time
D．Leave the Screens Alone on Your Next Family Road Trip
