21、There are many ways to define fame. But one of them, surely, is to see your name in lights above bustling New York streets. A Chinese writer saw just an illumination in July when his name appeared on the big screen in Times Square. For Liu Zhenyun, it was a spectacular and fully-deserved promotion of his latest book, Laughter and Tears: A Novel.
Liu, one of the best-selling authors of novels in contemporary China, has penned a number of popular works, including Someone to Talk To, Remembering 1942 , and I Did Not Kill My Husband.
His works have been translated into more than 28 languages, and Someone to Talk To was awarded lhe 2011 Mao Dun Literature Prize.
Laughter and Tears： A Novel can be worthily called another ‘high peak’after Someone to Talk To, Zhang Xudong, a professor of comparative literature and East Asian studies at New York University, says. The novel is based on the folklore of a legendary figure Hua Emiang, and describes the paintings of the narrator’s uncle, telling of the humor and life of people in Yanjin, Henan province, Liu’s hometown.
In the book, everyone from Yanjin is humorous and can tell excellent jokes. Hua Emiang, the spirit of a widow waiting eternally for her husband, as in Yanjin folklore, will come into people’s dreams. In this state she will ask them to tell her a joke. If she thinks the joke is boring, she will instruct them to carry her to a place where she can drink spicy soup. But they die in the effort as she crushes them following her transformation into a mountain. However, if she likes the joke, she will give them a persimmon (柿子).As a result, people from Yanjin tell really good jokes.
Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper, called Liu “the Kalka of Beijing”. In 2018, Liu was awarded France’s Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.
An author at Kirkus Reviews, a book review site in the United States, writes, “Liu has written a masterful tale that will make you laugh even as you despair”. Liu’s tragedies often have a feature of comedy and his comedies are also like tragedies. He tells many jokes and ridiculous stories in his books, and you will laugh when you read them. However, the truth behind the jokes could be cruel and sorrowful.
【1】Why did Liu Zhenyun’s name appear on the big screen in Times Square?
A．Because he enjoys great reputation.
B．Because his new book has been sold out.
C．Because he is eager to establish his fame.
D．Because he wants to promote his best book.
【2】What would Zhang Xudong probably agree with?
A．Liu Zhenyun is a legendary figure.
B．No book beats Someone to Talk To.
C．Liu's novels belong to comparative literature.
D．Laughter and Tears: A Novel is worth reading.
【3】In Liu's latest book, Hua Emiang gave the joke-tellers a persimmon as a(n) ________ .
A．punishment
B．assignment
C．award
D．warning
【4】What could be the best tide for the passage?

22、Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small
The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect （直立的）set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush into narrow streets, more deaths will result.
The UN has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.
There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length, but when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning "harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors.
Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves, but this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.
【1】The destruction of Agadir is an example of .
A．ineffective instruments
B．faulty building construction
C．an earthquake's strength
D．widespread panic in earthquakes
【2】What are the UN expert supposed do?
A．Put forward advice.
B．Construct strong buildings.
C．Monitor earthquakes.
D．Detect disastrous earthquakes.
【3】What does the underlined word "submarine" Para. 4 probably mean?
A．By the seaside.
B．On the mountain.
C．In the harbor.
D．Under the water.
【4】The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may .
A．notice them out at sea
B．be warned early enough
C．find ways to stop them
D．develop warning systems

24、 A desire among many seniors is to “age in place.” Aging in place is a term used to describe a person living in their own house, for as long as they are able to, as they age. Yes, the familiarity of your current home is the advantage of aging in place, but the potential financial drawbacks to renovate（翻新）the house might actually be more costly than the long-term benefits.
40 years ago, with a growing family, you probably purchased a 4-bedroom child-friendly house. Now, with kids moving out, you might be thinking about changing one of your bedrooms into a massive master bathroom, and another into an open-space reading area. You might also be thinking about cutting back on lawn maintenance（草坪维护）by installing a pool surrounded by beautiful paving stones. It all sounds wonderful doesn’t it？For the short term, you may really enjoy the new upgrades, but you’ll still have to climb those stairs, pay to heat and cool a home that’s larger than what you need, and continue fixing all the things that start to go wrong with a 40-year-old home.
Last month, in their Retirement Repot, Kiplinger addressed the point, “Renovations are just a part of what you need to make aging in place work for you. While it’s typically less expensive to remain in your home than to pay for assisted living, that doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk to stay put. You’ll still have a long to-do list. You need to plan ahead for how you will manage maintenance and care-for your home, and for yourself.”
So, at some point, the time may come when you decide to sell this house anyway. That can pose a big challenge if you’ve already taken cash value out of your home and used it to do the type of renovation we mentioned above. The family moving into your neighborhood is probably similar to what your family was 40 years ago.
【1】Why do many seniors want to age in place？
A.They are familiar with the house. B.They can enjoy long-term benefits.
C.They can live as long as they desire. D.They are likely to avoid financial trouble.
【2】What do the seniors renovate the houses mainly for？
A.Preparing for aging in place. B.Making it more energy-efficient.
C.Cutting back on the necessary cost. D.Making full use of the space available.
【3】What is conveyed in the Retirement Report？
A.Aging in place turns out to be very rewarding.
B.Renovating the house calls for a lot of money.
C.Assisted living deserves wider public attention.
D.Aging in place is more than renovating the house.
【4】What can be the author’s advice for those wishing to age in place？
A.Take life as it is. B.Think before you act.
C.Better late than never. D.Enjoy life to the fullest.
