21、 Last year, Zhang's store saw revenue of about 5 million yuan ($772,000) and made a profit of 500,000 yuan. Mhangami was also highly impressed by the laughter he heard among farmers during his trip, which he said helped inspire him.
In his notebook he wrote that such laughter was not only shared by one particular village, but "by the hundreds of millions of people that have been pulled out of poverty".
On the five-day trip, which was organized by Xinhua News Agency, Mhangami was joined by Michael Chick, a Malaysian media worker, and by South African teacher Shaun Nish and his daughter Rebecca.
The foreigners traveled to the once-poor county, Jinzhai, to experience rural life and to witness the nation's poverty alleviation （减轻）efforts. At the end of last year, some 100 million poor rural residents living below the poverty line nationwide had shaken off poverty. All 832 poor counties, including Jinzhai county, had been lifted out of poverty.
During their visit, the foreigners were surprised by the level of internet , development and the booming digital economy in the rural area.
Shaun Nish said he had been amazed by the amount of local infrastructure （基础设施），adding that he had not been expecting to see such a wide variety. He also thought that roads in the area would be less wide. He and his daughter, who live in Hefei, capital of Anhui, were also delighted with the easy access to wireless internet in the villages.
Chick, who has traveled to many Southeast Asian countries for TV production work and is now turning his attention to China, said, "It is not just Wi-Fi — it's internet connectivity. That's pretty much how this village we visited is able to market its products outside.”
“When you talk about infrastructure, it is always roads, water and healthcare, but people always forget to mention the internet. The internet infrastructure forms the basis for a whole lot of things. It changes your perspective. It opens up your markets.”
【1】What is the attitude of farmers, like Zhang, to the nation's poverty alleviation efforts?
A.Opposed. B.Unconcerned. C.Supportive. D.Objective.
【2】What can we learn about the poverty situation from Paragraph 4?
A.The county that the foreigners visited is still poverty-stricken now.
B.China's poverty alleviation efforts have benefited the county a lot.
C.All the poor in China have been lifted out of poverty.
D.All 832 poor counties in China have been fairly well-off.
【3】What benefit poverty alleviation efforts brought to rural areas is NOT mentioned I in the passage?
A.Wireless internet connectivity. B.Road infrastructure.
C.Booming digital economy. D.Full-covered Wi-Fi.
【4】What is the best title of this article?
A.The process of poverty alleviation
B.Some achievements in China's poverty alleviation efforts
C.China's current economic strength after poverty alleviation
D.Trips to areas that have been lifted out of poverty

23、 Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.
A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.
A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.
Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.
【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna?
A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position.
B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival.
C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position.
D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive.
【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3?
A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.
B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash.
C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.
D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge,
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?
A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.
24、On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company became one of the first American companies to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week. It was something workers and labor unions had been calling for. However, the five-day workweek was to increase productivity. With more time and money, workers were expected to buy and use the products they were making. Manufacturers soon followed Ford’s lead, and the Monday-to-Friday workweek became standard practice.
Since then, everything has changed but the hours. Many people worked longer, which severely influenced health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Women gradually made up 42 percent of the world’s full-time workforce. Later, technology made lots of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up more of Earth’s supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It’s time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK New Economics Foundation argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life. Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet make no sense. It’s time for a change in our economic thinking.
【1】Why did Henry Ford shorten the workweek?
A．To increase efficiency.
B．To cut workers’ salaries.
C．To end conflicts with workers.
D．To create more job opportunities.
【2】What happened in the workforce after World War II?
A．The oldest male had to work longer.
B．Technology let people work more flexibly.
C．Job positions were created due to technology.
D．Full-time vacancies were filled by more women.
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Companies shouldn’t produce more than people can use.
B．The 21st century has witnessed the longest working hours.
C．The cycle of longer workweek and consumption should be changed.
D．Longer workweek definitely leads to stronger consumption capability.
【4】Which would be possible if a 21-hour workweek should be adopted?
A．Companies would be closed down.
B．Economic growth would be stopped.
C．Economic systems would break down.
D．People would be encouraged to enjoy life.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Miracle
Charlie entered the shop and laid the damp fifty pence on the counter.
“One Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight,’’ he said, remembering how much he had loved the one he had on his birthday.
The man behind the counter looked fat. The fat around his neck bulged out all around the top of his collar like a rubber ring. He handed the chocolate bar to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took an enormous bite. Then he took another... and another... and oh, the joy of being able to cram large pieces of something sweet and solid into one’s mouth!
“You look like you wanted that one, sonny, ’’ the shopkeeper said pleasantly.
Charlie nodded, his mouth bulging with chocolate.
The shopkeeper put Charlie’s change on the counter. “Take it easy,” he said. “It’ll give you a tummy-ache if you swallow it like that without chewing.”
Charlie went on wolfing the chocolate. He couldn’t stop. And in less than half a minute, the whole thing had disappeared down his throat. He was quite out of breath, but he felt marvelously, extraordinarily happy. He reached out a hand to take the change. Then he paused. His eyes were just above the level of the counter. They were staring at the silver coins lying there. Surely it wouldn’t matter if he spent just one more.
“I think,” he said quietly, “I think. I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars. The same kind as before, please.”
“Why not?” the fat shopkeeper said, reaching behind him again and taking another Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight from the shelf. He laid it on the counter.
Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper...and suddenly...from underneath the wrapper.. .there came a brilliant flash of gold.
Charlie’s heart stood still.
“It’s a Golden Ticket!” screamed the shopkeeper, leaping about a foot in the air. “You’ve got a Golden Ticket! You’ve found the last Golden Ticket! You will be one of the five lucky children to be shown around Wonka’s chocolate factory. Watch out now, sonny! Don’t tear it as you unwrap it! That thing is precious!”
In a few seconds, there was a crowd of about twenty people clustering around Charlie, and many more were pushing their way in from the street.
