21、On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战),the Ministry of Education issued(教育部公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating. Sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health?
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize on create a network platform(平台),where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers. Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, specially how to keep away from touching virus and also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
【1】Parents worried about putting off the start of school because________.
A.children may be infected by virus
B.they don't like the idea of online learning
C.children's study may be affected
【2】In the writer's opinion, it's necessary to ________ except for learning at home.
A.teach children about health knowledge
B.do some physical exercises outside
C.keep touching different people
【3】The underlined word "suspension" means "________" in Chinese.
A.计划
B.改变
C.停止
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.All the students would rather go to school.
B.The exact start time of school will start before February 17
C.Online teaching will help students study.
【5】The best title for the passage is "________".
A.A Special Way to Learn at Home
B.A New War with a New Chance
C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy
22、MCDONALD’S drew ridicule in China when it changed its registered name there to Jingongmen, or ‘Golden Arches’, in October, after it was sold to a Chinese corporate. Some on Weibo thought it sounded old-fashioned and awkward, others thinking that it had connotations(隐含意义) of furniture. The fast-food chain was quick to reassure customers that its restaurants would continue to go by Maidanglao, a rough transliteration(音译) that has, over the years, become a recognizable brand name. But for most companies now entering Chinese markets, transliterations are a thing of the past, says Amanda Liu, vice-president of Labbrand (朗标公司), a consultancy based in Shanghai that advises firms on brand names.
Companies are instead choosing Chinese names with meanings that capture people’s imagination. That often involves going beyond a direct translation. New entrants are taking inspiration from BMW, which is the evocative Baoma, or ‘treasure horse’, in China, and from Coca-Cola, which is Kekoukele, or ‘delicious happiness’.
The naming process is forcing companies to think harder about the image they want to project in China, says Ms Liu. LinkedIn, a professional-networking site owned by Microsoft, chose the name Lingyin, or ‘leading elite’, in 2014, signifying more exclusivity than its Western name. Her other corporate customers have included Airbnb, Marvel Comics and Haribo. Labbrand tests proposals with focus groups, ensuring that the name has no negative associations in any of the major Chinese dialects.
A vital part of the process is checking that candidate names have not already been snapped up. The Chinese are energetic trademarkers: in 2015 there were 2.8m trademark applications in China, more than treble those in America and the EU combined. Companies considering entering the Chinese market might often find that their products have already been given local names, thanks, for example, to coverage in the press.
Some even find that their Chinese name has already been trademarked, says Matthew Dresden of Harris Bricken, a law firm, either by their own distributors, competitors seeking to block its entry, counterfeiters(伪造者) hoping to pass as the company, or squatters(擅自占用房屋或土地的人)intending to sell the trademark to the highest bidder. Counterfeiters might also take advantage of soundalikes, says Mr. Dresden, who advises clients to trademark those, too.
Perhaps thanks to these mishaps (小事故), foreign firms are getting wiser to the importance of naming in China. More Chinese firms are also seeking advice on foreign names, says Ms. Liu, as they seek to conquer Western markets. Both know that if they blunder, the social-media critics will be waiting.
【1】The example of McDonald in paragraph 1 indicates that _____.
A. it’s not a wise move for McDonald to change its name
B. transliteration becomes less popular for many companies
C. Chinese customers don’t like the new name
D. having a good name is important for companies
【2】According to the passage, with a proper Chinese name, companies entering the Chinese market are trying to_____.
A. show a good and impressing image B. project their ads more widely
C. give inspirations to other companies D. ensure that customers are attracted
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. BMW and Coca-Cola’s Chinese names are good examples for other companies.
B. With the Chinese name Lingyin, Linkedin has more elite members than before.
C. Chinese firms also emphasize their foreign names.
D. Chinese trademark applications are much more than those of America.
23、People living in the country enjoy several advantages that people living in the city cannot enjoy.

There are practically no temptations to waste money.

24、Mr. Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (行李箱).
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot (汽车行李箱). Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew(拧开…的螺丝) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (move with difficulty) as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms were cut and bruised (擦伤). Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “The thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible(can be seen), police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
