22、Hi, Mike!

I’m writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals.

Everyone loves holidays since one doesn’t need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the U.S., everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ.

I have been interested in foreign customs since I was a little child. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.

Love,

Lily

23、   The locusts(蝗虫) in East Africa continue plaguing(造成麻烦) Asian countries such as Pakistan after they “visited” Qatar,Kuwait，and Bahrain.

On Thursday,it's reported that China will send an army of 100,000 ducks to Pakistan to help eat out the locusts there. By Thursday noon,the 100,000 ducks ready to eat locusts in Pakistan has been one of the hottest topics of Sina Weibo.

There has been much discussion on domestic social media(国内社交媒体) networks about the problem.Besides ducks,many also suggest sending hens,while some make it further by suggesting catching the locusts,to cook and eat them.

The hen and duck strategy was used in 2000 when Xinjiang suffered its worst locust plague. An army of about 700,000 hens,roosters and ducks were transported from Zhejiang Province to Xinjiang and helped defeat the locusts quickly.

However,neither the duck nor hen strategy can always be useful. Hens and ducks are good at picking locusts and eating them,but this time the locusts from Africa are mostly grown-up ones that can fly up to 2,000 meters in the sky. It is unrealistic to expect hens or ducks to eat all the locusts alone.

The best way of controlling a locust plague lies in the preventive(预防的) stage. One opinion among scientists is that the locust plague this year has much to do with the EI Nino effect of 2019,which caused heavier rainfall in East Africa,which in turn resulted in more locust eggs hatching.

The same effect caused droughts(干旱) in Australia and South America,which is an important reason why the wildfires in Australia have been so bad.It might be old talk,but it really is time to control climate change.

【1】Which animal isn't mentioned in the passage?

A.Hen. B.Rooster. C.Duck. D.Turkey.

【2】What have been one of the hottest topics of Sina Weibo?

A.The locusts have “visited” Qatar,Kuwait,and Bahrain.

B.The 100，000 ducks are ready to eat locusts in Pakistan.

C.The locusts in East Africa continue plaguing Asian countries.

D.Africa would send a lot of army men to Pakistan on Thursday.

【3】What other advice do people have to control a locust plague according to the passage?

A.Sending roosters to Pakistan.

B.Making less discussion about the problem.

C.Catching the locusts，to cook and eat them.

D.Using domestic social media to solve the problem.

【4】What does the underlined word “It” refer to according to the passage?

A.The hen and duck strategy.

B.Picking locusts by humans.

C.Flying up to 2,000 meters to catch locusts.

D.Controlling a locust plague.

【5】What plague did the climate change cause in 2019?

A.Rainfall in East Asia.

B.Droughts in North America.

C.The wildfires in New Zealand.

D.More locusts in East Africa.

24、In only a few months, a disease has completely changed the world. Thousands of people have died and millions of people have fallen ill. For the rest of us, our way of life has become totally different.

From New York to London, the busiest pubs and theaters have been left empty. International flights are being canceled. People are working from home. These are all aimed at controlling the spread of the COVID-19. However, all of these changes have also led to another unexpected benefit: a drop in carbon emissions（碳排放）. Compared with this time last year, levels of pollution in New York have been reduced by nearly 50 percent.

So will the COVID-19 turn out to save the environment?

Kimberly Nicholas is an environmental scientist in Sweden. To answer that question, she says, you have to find out why emissions have dropped. Take transport as an example. It makes up 23 percent of global carbon emissions. These emissions have fallen as people are staying at home. Nicholas says they will remain lowered until the COVID-19 is totally brought under control. But what will happen after this outbreak（爆发）is over?

“It’s hard to say,” Nicholas says. While staying at home, many people have realized the importance of family. In the short term, some people will still avoid travel and spend time with their families instead. However, some people are feeling bored after not being out for a long time. They are eager to return to their old habits and may even travel more often. If that happens, transport-related emissions could come back.

But Nicholas says she and many other scientists have seen hope. The outbreak of the COVID-19 shows that at the national and international level, if we need to take action, we can. When we look out for each other, we all can make a big difference.

【1】From New York to London, people are working from home in order to ________.

A．save time

B．make less carbon emissions

C．save money

D．control the spread of the COVID-19

【2】According to Kimberly Nicholas, will the COVID-19 save the Earth in the end?

A．Yes, it will save the Earth in the end.

B．No, it won’t save the Earth in the end.

C．The COVID-19 will only cause more pollution in the end.

D．It’s hard to say whether it will save the Earth or not.

【3】According to Nicholas, some people will still avoid travel for some time after the COVID-19 outbreak is over because ________.

A．they want to continue to save the Earth

B．they have lost their interest in traveling

C．they have realized the importance of family

D．they don’t have enough money to travel abroad

【4】Why has Nicholas seen hope?

A．Because she has discovered a new method of saving the Earth.

B．Because she has seen that people can take action if they need to.

C．Because many people have changed their attitudes towards family.

D．Because more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate change.

【5】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．New York has shown a record drop in pollution after the COVID-19 broke out.

B．Nobody has been killed by the COVID-19.

C．Most people will travel more often after the COVID-19 outbreak is over.

D．The COVID-19 would make the Earth cleaner.
