21、 The preventive measures for forest fires include some preemptive(抢先)methods that can help reduce the risks of fires and control their severity and spread, and thus, maintain ecological balance and protect resources. Close monitoring of forest fires caused by natural factors can help prevent their spread to a large extent. To contain forest fires, fire departments usually use water and chemical fire retardants(抑制剂) that can be dropped from planes and helicopters. To control the spread of a wildfire, firefighters usually create a control line by removing all fuel from an area so that the fire cannot travel across it.
Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel buildup, and clean up the fallen leaves, and thus, prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area. Regular controlled burns can also help maintain biodiversity(生物多样性), as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate(促进) the growth of seeds of certain plant species. Apart from these, responsible human behavior can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent. In fact, we can reduce the number of wildfires dramatically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest.
Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent, besides causing severe damage to valuable trees. Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases(water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc), and therefore increase pollution and global warming. However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction. But large wildfires can cause extensive damage to the ecosystem, which again highlights the importance of effective control and prevention of forest fires.
【1】What may be the best title for this passage?
A.Control and Prevention of Forest Fires B.How to Keep Ecological Balance
C.Effects of Forest Fires D.Methods of Fire Spread Control
【2】Firefighters get rid of all fuel in all area in order to ____________．

【3】The government arranges some controlled burns to_______________．
A.burn the rubbish and keep the forest clean
B.help keep ecological balance of nature
C.reduce fuel building up and limit forest fires spread.
D.provide reasonable conditions for some plants’ growth.
【4】A controlled forest fire may play a positive role because ________________.
A.a new forest will appear soon.
B.it promotes the development of some seeds
C.nature keeps its balance only by wildfires.
D.it makes the trees grow faster than before.
22、April 2018, Manchester
My dearest daughter,
As I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor, I noticed that you are no longer a child, and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday, you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman. As I looked at you, I remembered myself at 14, and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from.
Your identity as a mixed-race young woman, with an English father and a Pakistani mother, has already influenced how you place yourself in this world. Until now, you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry. How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding. The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and always end in divorce. The confidence I had to grow, as we chose to live in a multicultural community, as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs.
Then, at the age of 30, I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought, as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival. From your birth, your life could not have been more different from mine. I was brought up on a council estate, within a tight-knit extended Muslim family, through which poverty, racism and neglect were woven. I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things. Now, as I hear you play your piano, I am grateful that you have these opportunities.
So many doors were closed to me as a young person, and as I fought for small steps of freedom, I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents, and so deceit and deception(欺骗) became woven into my life too. The pressures to obey, to be a "good Muslim" girl and to keep the family honour were choking. Behind closed doors at home, the neglect and abuse took place. It was hidden; I felt the shame, lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers. Oh, the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead, he would, as his threats said, bury us in the large back garden and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good. My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under.
As a daughter of immigrant parents, I carried their hopes of a better education for their children my own veins(血管) pulsing with the hard-work ethic(道德) and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education. And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky. I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18, and never returned to live with my parents again.
Now as you explore your mixed-race heritage, which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi-cultural schools, I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you become a woman.
The struggles of identity and belonging will come but I hope that we have given you a strong foundation from which to explore these struggles. All the opportunities and freedoms that I only dreamed of as a young woman, I have offered you. I have chosen a different path of loving you as my daughter, with an unconditional love that many consider "western".
I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different. I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you.
May you fly your blue sky with grace, confidence and hope as you find your place in this beautiful and crazy world.
Loving you now and always.
Mommy

23、 There are some popular family videos posted on Chinese social media. In these videos, a young child calls out to their mother or father; the parent enters the room smiling, turns around and calls out to their own parent; the grandparent then enters smiling and calls out to their parent – the great-grandparent.
The format of these videos is being described as the “four-generation challenge”. 【1】 People from all over the world have left comments and even made their own versions.
A Facebook user named Antoine Yupud wrote, “I have to give that to China. 【2】.” The “four-generation” videos have not only touched foreign viewers, but also given them a deeper look into Chinese family values.
In most East Asian cultures, it is common for many generations of a single family to live together under one roof. 【3】. Many Western countries tend to have nuclear families, made up of just children and their parents.
【4】. Kids usually move out of the family home after turning 18. Many apply for loans and work part-time jobs to pay for college and rent. If they choose to continue living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen as a sign of immaturity or failure.
Although family structures in the United States may differ, the loving bonds between family members are common to both. 【5】.
A. Family devotion is usually a strong value.
B. This is called an extended family.
C. These videos have spread to social media in other countries.
D. Nuclear families gradually took the place of extended families.
E. In United States culture, independence is highly valued.
F. These videos have made many people miss their own grandparents.
G. That might be why the “four-generation” videos have gained popularity around the world.
24、A hobby is a great way to kill your free time. 【1】 However, many struggle to stick with them. Therefore, think practically when finding a hobby you can keep.
Consider your cost. Before choosing a hobby, think about what you can reasonably afford. 【2】 For example, for a sport like hockey (曲棍球), you will need protective equipment, a stick, ice skates and so on, which can be expensive. If you’re short of money, look for a hobby that doesn’t cost you much.
Think about the time. If you’re very busy, you may not want a hobby which takes much time. Things like reading, or crossword puzzles can be done in small spare moments. 【3】 However, if you are rich in time, choose a hobby like gardening. It required to be done for a set number of hours each day.
【4】 Pick a hobby that makes you feel interested, or you will be likely to lose interest. For example, think about skills you are always eager to have. Have you at times imagined yourself as a talented singer? Teaching yourself to sing in your spare time may cheer you up.
Value your existing skill. 【5】 Choosing something you’re not already good at may result in you feeling stressed and giving up. You can think about what skills you already have. For example, maybe you already enjoy cooking though you’re not skilled, you could take a cooking class. It’ll be easier to get into this new hobby.
A．Many people find hobbies relaxing.
B．Force yourself to stick with that one.
C．Think about what makes you excited.
D．Some hobbies require a lot of equipment.
E．A hobby should be more relaxing than challenging.
F．You might get bored with developing your natural skills.
G．You can do them on your lunch break or after dinner at night.
