21、Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.

B．The Internet is influencing young Britions’ career choice.

C．The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.

D．Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.

【2】Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?

A．Vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet.

B．There is too much competition in the traditional show business.

C．The Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers.

D．Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.

【3】What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A．Only a few vloggers can be successful.

B．A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.

C．People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.

D．Dreams will always remain to be dreams.

【4】What do young people like David do on the Internet?

A．Learn from others.

B．Become an online hit.

C．Hold running races.

D．Mix jobs with hobbies.

22、It’s possible that interstellar space explorers could come across problems communicating with previous and subsequent arrivals, as their spoken language has changed in isolation along the way.

Regarding the issue, two American scholars, Andrew McKenzie and Jeffrey Punske, co-authored the article “Language Development During Interstellar Travel”. What has been discussed in the article is the concept of language change over time. They wrote that given more time, new grammatical forms can completely replace current ones.

In a recent interview, McKenzie gamed it out.

“If you’re on a spaceship for 10 generations, new concepts will emerge, new social issues will come up, and people will create ways of talking about them,” McKenzie said, “and these will become the vocabulary particular to the spaceship. People on Earth might never know about these words, unless there’s a reason to tell them. And the further away you get, the less you’re going to talk to people back home.”

So if we have Earth English and spaceship English, and they become different over the years, you will have to learn a little Earth English to send messages back, or to read the instruction manuals and information that come with the spaceship.

Also, keep in mind that the language back on Earth is going to change, too, during that time. So they may well be communicating like we’d be using Latin—communicating with this version of the language nobody uses.

The authors concluded that if a study of the linguistic changes aboard a spaceship could be performed, it would “add to its scientific value”.

【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．Two American scholars.

B．Interstellar space exploration.

C．Language evolution on Earth.

D．The article by McKenzie and Punske.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “gamed it out” mean?

A．Offered a new concept.

B．Made a further study.

C．Gave a detailed explanation.

D．Lost the game completely.

【3】What might happen to people aboard a spaceship as a result of language change?

A．They tend to communicate in Latin.

B．They keep themselves updated on Earth English.

C．They don’t-feel much like talking to people on Earth.

D．They switch from spaceship English to Earth English.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Why space travelers change their language.

B．How language is changed in the future time.

C．The language issue during interstellar travel.

D．New concepts of language created in a spaceship.

23、Bank Holidays in the UK

Public holidays in the UK are commonly referred to as bank holidays. As the UK is a country made up of four more or less independent regions, official holidays vary depending on whether you live in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.

There are eight bank holidays in England and Wales.

When bank holidays fall on a weekend, the following Monday is usually a “substitute” holiday. For instance, 25 December 2022 is Sunday, so there will be a national substitute holiday for Christmas Day on Monday, 26 December 2022.

In Scotland, the summer bank holiday is earlier in August. Moreover, Scots celebrate St. Andrew’s Day on 30 November and 2 January is also a bank holiday, but Easter Monday is not. All in all, there are nine bank holidays in Scotland.

In Northern Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day on 17 March is a bank holiday, and so is Orangemen’s Day on 12 July which commemorates (纪念) the Battle of Boyne. There are a total of ten bank holidays in Northern Ireland, making it the region with the most holidays in the UK.

The UK does not have a national day, making it only one of two countries in the world without one (the other is Denmark). There’s an old joke about this, that the United Kingdom, once called “the empire on which the sun never sets”, doesn’t need its own national day because it’s indirectly responsible for so many other countries’ national independence days.

【1】Which region has the most holidays in the UK?

A．England.

B．Scotland.

C．Wales.

D．Northern Ireland.

【2】Which of the following bank holidays are celebrated in Scotland?

A．St. Andrew’s Day and 2 January.

B．Easter Monday and St. Patrick’s Day.

C．St. Patrick’s Day and Orangemen’s Day.

D．Easter Monday and Orangemen’s Day.

【3】What does the joke in the last sentence imply?

A．The UK’s culture influenced many countries.

B．The UK used to rule a lot of countries.

C．The UK’s independence greatly encouraged many countries.

D．The UK helped many countries set their independence days.

24、In the past years a lot of people migrated from one country to another in Europe. They had to leave their countries with their traditions, their cultures and sometimes also their families. People migrate because they think that they will have a better life, they will find a job and they will make a lot of money for their families to survive. Sometimes it's true, and they find a job, they make a lot of money and then they go back to their families to help them. But sometimes they are not that lucky.

The problem that those people create is that a lot of people from Europe are unemployed and they don't have jobs because immigrants have taken so many jobs. But the question is also: Would European people want a job such as cleaning or hard labor? I think that most of them wouldn't. So we should stop criticizing for a moment and think. We would then maybe realize that it's not that bad to have immigrants at home.

The only problem is that it's not right that immigrants want to impose( 强加于 )their religion on other countries by leading and building mosques ( 清真寺). Because if they had done that in other countries they would have caused trouble. Phenomena like these happened a few years ago in Great Britain: It was forbidden to switch on Christmas lights outside, because Christmas is a Catholic ( 天主教的 ) recurrence and it was offensive for the Islamic people who lived there. That is not right. The country that gives hospitality to immigrants has the task to allow them to enter society, to be free to believe in their religion and their culture, but every country does not have to forget its tradition and culture. This is one of the many facts which happened in the past years, and I think that many others are going to happen because this phenomenon is developing every day more and more.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. what a life Europeans lived

B. why some Europeans migrated

C. how Europeans migrated

D. what migration caused

【2】What's the main problem between the immigrants and the native people according to the passage?

A. Native people and immigrants fight for the same job opportunities.

B. Native people always leave the worst jobs to the immigrants.

C. Different religions and cultures often result in some conflicts.

D. Native people refuse the immigrants to enter their country.

【3】What does the author think of the European immigrants?

A. It takes them too much trouble to migrate.

B. They have made contributions to the host country.

C. They are offered hard jobs but paid less.

D. They should be accepted in the host country.

【4】We may learn from the passage that__________.

A. some people reject foreigners' immigrating to their own country

B. the author thinks immigrating can help mix different cultures together

C. immigrants to Great Britain were all Islamic people

D. immigrants can only find hard and dirty jobs in other countries

【5】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.

A. people with different religions won' t be allowed to migrate to another country

B. immigrants are not free to believe in their own culture

C. no other European countries but Great Britain have conflicts

D. problems caused by different religions and cultures will exist long

25、A 22-year-old aircraft maintenance engineer living in Dubai, Zachariah was visiting Kerala, India for a family wedding when a lockdown (封锁) happened.
