21、 The 1972 Hawaii episodes opened the fourth season of The Brady Bunch, and they have become a beloved part of pop culture. Here are the top places where the Hawaii episodes of The Brady Bunch were filmed.
Sheraton Waikiki
Location: 2255 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815
The entrance to the Sheraton Waikiki has not changed all that much. All of its original charm remains. You can even book an ocean-view room like the Brady family would have enjoyed. Be sure to also check out the breathtaking infinity pool.
Halona Blowhole Lookout
Location: 8483 Highway 72, Honolulu, Hawaii 96825
During their tour of Hawaii, the Bradys looked in the wonder at the still-active Halona Blowhole. It's one of Hawaii's many natural wonders. The rock formation and blowhole shoots ocean water spray high into the air when the waves roll in.
Although there are no active volcanoes on Oahu now, their effects on the island linger. The best time to come here is when winds are strong and the tide is high.
View Rabbit Island from Makapu'u Beach Park
Location:41-095 Kalanianaole Highway, Makapu'u Point, Hawaii 96795
The Brady girls enjoyed the view of Rabbit Island. Although it's referred to by its nickname in the episodes, the real name of Rabbit Island is Manana Island. It got its nickname because many rabbits used to inhabit the area. It's now an uninhabited islet on the eastern end of Oahu.
Hula dancing on the Ocean Lawn of the Royal Hawaiian
Location: 2259 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815
It's believed that the Brady ladies enjoyed their hula lesson on the Ocean Lawn of the Royal Hawaiian, a luxury collection resort. The ocean Lawn is a great place for a selfie because you can see the ocean, Diamond Head and other beautiful sights in the background.
The Royal Hawaiian does offer hula lessons to guests, but they aren't held on the Ocean Lawn. If you and your family decide to try hula dancing, try not to get your hula skirts mixed up like Alice and Cindy did!

23、Take the wheel of an electric vehicle and prepare to be amazed. The latest technology is there, with tablet-like screens instead of old-fashioned switches. Add falling price which makes owning and running many electric vehicles (short for EV)as cheap as fossil-fuel alternatives, and the open road signals. Above all, the instant acceleration of battery power makes driving easy and exciting.
EV should be recharged roughly every 250 miles. When you do find a public charging point, it is sometimes inaccessible, which causes “range anxiety”. It is one of the main reasons drivers give for not buying an EV. Who might install them? Drivers will need a mix of fast "long distance" chargers installed near motorways and slower “top-up” chargers available in the car parks of shopping centers, restaurants and so on. Dedicated charging firms and carmakers are investing in infrastructure. Oil companies are putting chargers in petrol stations and buying charging companies.
Yet the charging business suffers from big problems. One is how to adjust between the planning authorities and grid firms. Another is the cost. To start with, profits may be difficult to attain because the networks will not at first be heavily used. A related risk is that the coverage will have gaps. And then there is the question of competing networks. Drivers should be able to switch from one to the other without having to sign up to them all.
What to do? Government is experimenting. As well as funding EV sales, many are throwing cash at public chargers. America's law sets aside $7.5 billion to create 500,000 public stations by 2030. Britain plans to require new building to install chargers. Yet the problem of coverage and convenience will remain.
【1】What is the biggest highlight of an EV?
A．Falling price.
B．Replacing switches.
C．Running self-drive.
D．Instant acceleration of battery power.
【2】What does the underlined words "range anxiety" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The reason for drivers' not buying an EV.
B．The issue of who might install charging points.
C．The doubt of whether drivers can charge free in petrol stations.
D．The worry of drivers' not finding accessible public charging points.
【3】What results in the problem of the cost?
A．Frequent power failure.
B．The incomplete coverage of network.
C．Drivers' not being capable of signing up for network.
D．A bad relationship between the authority and the grid.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards the government's plan?
A．Recognized.
B．Neutral.
C．Prejudiced.
D．Unconcerned.
24、 If you are travelling from one of London’s international airports to central London, don’t take taxi unless you are very rich! The minimum (最小的) fare from Heathrow, the airport nearest to central London, is about $25. If you are travelling in a group of four people and each of you has a lot of luggage, you may feel that it would be worth paying for a taxi.
If you simply want to cross London from one railway station to another or from a station to your hotel, then a taxi may be a good idea. Although taxis may seem quite expensive, they make life a lot easier if you have a lot of luggage, or if you are not confident about finding your way around the Underground system. Here are some useful facts about using taxis:
★ Licensed (有许可证的) taxis are large, and usually black, vehicles with a small white plate (牌照) on the back showing a license number and the words Hackney Carriages.
★ The best place to find a taxi is at a railway station. Follow the signs for taxi and you will find what is called a taxi rank (a place in the road where a taxi can stop). Another good place to find a taxi is near a large hotel.
★ If you are not at a station, you will have to stand in the street and wait for one to go past. Look for a taxi which has an orange light lit up over the driver’s window — this means that it is not being used by anyone else.
★ When the taxi is quite close, raise your arm and wave the driver down. The taxi should stop for you.
★ When you pay, it is usual to give the driver a tip of at least 10%.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marcus sat by his window, gazing at the blinking lights on other buildings. He thought of Papa who was visiting Marcus's sick grandpa in Jamaica. "I'll try to help Mama while you're gone." Marcus had promised his father.
His little brother, Peter, sat beside him. "When are we getting our Christmas tree, Marcus?" Peter asked. " I can't wait to decorate it with Mama's straw birds."
"We're not getting a tree this year, Peter”
"Why not?"
"Too many bills with Grandpa sick. Mama said we can't afford one."
Marcus walked slowly to his room and shook his piggy bank. Seven dollars in coin fell out, his tips them helping at the market.
With school out, he thought, maybe I can earn enough in two days to buy a tree and surprise Mama and Peter.
The next day, he stayed busy pushing cars to help shoppers. By the time he left, six more dollars jingled in his pocket. My lucky day, he though. Thirteen dollars should buy a small tree.
He whistled all the way to the lot. But even the smallest trees were $15 or more. Tomorrow will be busy with shoppers, he thought. I'll earn those extra dollars.
“Can you save this tree for me, Sir?" he asked the man in the lot.
“I can't, but come back tomorrow. It might still be here." the man said.
“I`ll be back." Marcus waved and dashed off.
The next morning, Mama came into his room. "The babysitter is sick. I'll need you to take care of Peter for a day." Mom said and gave Marcus a hug. I'll never get a tree now, Marcus thought. Later, Peter pleaded, "Can we go out?" After thinking for a moment, Marcus nodded. He took his brother to the tree lot. There, he saw that most of the trees were gone, including the one he had wanted.
Para l:
Then Marcus saw a very small tree in the corner.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They began placing Mama's straw birds on the branches.
