21、 There’s a battle storming in the streets of America. Anyone who regularly rides a bicycle knows all about this. Some motorists shout at two-wheeled travelers, who slow traffic. A few will do even worse.
The New York Times reports that incidents of aggression toward bicycle riders appear to be growing. Even though actually every state allows bicyclists the same right as motorists to use the streets, many drivers still refuse to accept this. They view themselves as Kings of the Road --- an impression that has been strongly built by the transportation planning profession, which has designed our cities as if people didn’t exist outside of their cars.
But a big new idea to settle this conflict and improve life in the streets for everyone is now taking root among community activists, urban planners and traffic engineers.
“Too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars. They’re unsafe for people on foot or bike. Now, in communities across the country, a movement is growing to complete the streets. States, cities and towns are asking their planners, engineers and designers to build road networks that welcome all citizens,” declares the website of a new organization promoting this idea, “Complete the Streets” , the best idea to hit our communities since pizza, or even the bicycle itself.
My home of Minneapolis is one of the biking capitals of America. But it hasn’t always been that way. When I moved here many years ago, I was shocked at the strong hostility directed toward me whenever I dared ride my bike down the street. Drivers would suddenly turn in my direction, and then laugh as they nearly knocked me onto the ground.
As the amount of bikes on Minneapolis streets has grown, people have become much more comfortable sharing the road with two-wheelers. Indeed, I get the impression that most motorists now envy rather than hate me, and can’t wait to get home where they can jump on their own bikes. This will happen everywhere as more and more Americans discover biking as a great way to get around, save money, lose weight, protect the planet and have fun.
【1】Who cause the traffic problem according to the motorists?
A．Bicycle riders.
B．Urban planners.
C．Traffic engineers.
D．Community activists.
【2】The problem of the battle in the streets is most probably rooted in
A．weight losing
B．city planning

D．global warming
【3】What is the movement “Complete the Streets” aimed at?
A．Improving health conditions.
B．Promoting walking and bicycling.
C．Building more road networks.
D．Assessing the impact of the conflict.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A．To present a problem.
B．To praise the bicyclists.
C．To describe a change.
D．To blame the car riders.

23、 "Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook． Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise， but it is not the only wide﹣spread analogy（比拟）． A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo， the once high﹣flying internet firm that fell．
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable． But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps． It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference（干涉） in America's election in 2016． It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission．
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect． Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's． One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor， Google， in online search； Marissa Mayer， its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year， was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left．
But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities． Executive（主管） turnover was a leading indicator of its decline； before Ms． Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years． Mr． Zuckerberg， who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares， is not leaving， but many top executives are． This year several have announced their departures， including Facebook's chief security officer．
When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken， politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company． Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders．
Mr． Zuckerberg and Ms． Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money． If they cannot do so， and the company's share price continues its slide， it is possible that Ms． Sandberg will be replaced in the next year． Mr． Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale．
【1】For Facebook， being compared to "big tobacco" is ．
A. positive
B. ambitious
C. creative
D. negative
【2】According to the author， what does Facebook currently have in common with the failed Yahoo？
A. Letting out users' data．
B. Being deep in financial crisis．
C. Leaders are leaving the company．
D. Laying off a large number of employees．
【3】The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by ．
A. questioning its management
B. using evidence related to it
C. analyzing its financial data
D. listing its advantages and disadvantages
【4】What is the main idea of the passage？
A. Facebook gets trapped in trouble．
B. Two companies are deep in crisis．
C. How to save Facebook．
D. Faith is more valuable than gold．
24、Prom tradition comes to UK
Proms (正式舞会) are big news in Britain these days. A school prom is a formal party to celebrate an important date at school such as the end of secondary school or after completing school exams. A secondary school prom often involves a big party, big dresses and huge cars.
Prom parties
Proms are held in June or July, around the end of exam time. The idea is to lave fin with your school friends and celebrate your time and achievements at school. Some schools hold a luxury party in a five-star hotel. Others have a more basic dinner in the school hall. The school can organize the prom or they can pay a professional organization to arrange it. A prom organizer provides everything for the special event including the party location, balloons, food, music, cars and clothes.
Clothes and beauty
Young people like to dress up for their prom. On prom night girls swap their school uniform for an elegant evening dress and high heels. Boys usually dress up in a suit with a tie and smart shoes. The right hairstyle and makeup are important too. Some beauty salons offer a special “prom deal” which includes hair, makeup, eyelashes, nails and a spray tan (喷雾染肤色). A tan is fashionable with both boys and girls.
Money
The school prom is big business; the average prom costs parents over￡200 per teenager. Not all families have money to spend on their teenager's prom, of course. Some teenagers work part-tine to cover their prom expenses. Popular jobs include babysitting,shop work and working as a waiter or waitress.
