21、The English proficiency of Chinese women is much better than that of men, according to a study released in Shanghai yesterday, Chinese women scored three points higher than men in the English Proficiency Index(英语水平指数) released by EF Education, a language training company, mainly English. Worldside, women scored one point higher than men on average.
“This shows that Chinese women are more used to the Chinese education mode, the report said. Chinese women use their gift of language to gain success.”
However, Chinese mainlanders English proficiency ranked second to last in Asia, despite the great time and effort that many people invest in learning the language, the report said, China’s mainland is ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where English is not the native language. That’s down by seven places comparing with that last year. The Chinese mainland belongs to the low-proficiency tier(低水平层次) and is ranked just above Thailand in Asia. This year’s index has increased the weight of listening tests, while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams, which partly caused the ranking change, researchers said. Moreover, test-oriented(以考试为目的) and rote-based(死记硬背)learning methods often used in China hurt the language skills of Chinese students, education experts said.
The study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have the best command of English, while Libya has the lowest English proficiency level. European countries generally performed well. But Italy, Spain and Portugal, some of the countries at the heart of the euro zone crisis, are being dragged down by poor English, according to the report. Singapore is 12th, the best in Asia, followed by Malaysia and India, South Korea; at 21st, and Japan, at 22nd, performed disappointingly low despite their focus on education; the report said.
One in every four people frequently uses English at work on China’s mainland, nevertheless nearly 15 percent said they never use English, lower than the world average level, according to the study.
【1】What is EF Education?
A. It is a language test organization.
B. It is an English teaching school.
C. It is a language training company.
D. It is an organization studying human.
【2】 By what do Chinese women gain success in English learning?
A. Cheating. B. Gift.
C. Learning by heart. D. Asking for help.

22、The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi, they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city’s streets. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its self-driving cars, becoming the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.
Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren’t totally free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.
Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a team of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be improved versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads. The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a siting space, where passengers can face each other.
Cruise’s ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. Many remain concerned about safety. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.
It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco. But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity, if not success.
【1】What can we learn about the Cruise’s driverless ride services?
A．The services have turned out to be a great success.
B．The services receive great support from the public.
C．The services have run in some major cities of the USA.
D．The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.
【2】What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3?
A．The feature of Cruise Origin.
B．The future of self-driving cars.
C．The original plan of the company.
D．The new version of Chevrolet Bolt.
【3】What is the attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxis?
A．Doubtful.
B．Opposed.
C．Favourable.
D．Unconcerned.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A．Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride Services
B．Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San Francisco
C．Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major Cities
D．Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars
23、Just two days into the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Cristobal was stirring up in the Gulf of Mexico.
It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early. On average, the third storm forms around August 13, according to Accu Weather Storms like Cristobal are increasingly likely to become major hurricanes The chance of any tropical cyclone (气旋) becoming a major hurricane is increasing as human activity warms the globe.
A study from researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that each new decade over the last 40 years has brought an 8 percent increase in the chance that a storm turns into a major hurricane.
“We have a significantly building body of evidence that these storms have already changed in very substantial (大量的) ways, and all of them are dangerous, ” said James Kossin, an atmospheric scientist a NOAA and the study’s lead author.
The findings, published in May, were based on 40 years of satellite data. Hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter because climate change is causing ocean and air temperatures to climb - 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, and it closed the hottest decade eve recorded Hurricanes feed on warm water.
What's more, higher water temperatures lead to sea. level rise, which increases the risk of flooding during high tides and storms surges. Warmer air also holds more atmospheric waster vapour, which enables tropical storms to strengthen and release more water.
“Almost all of the damage and death caused by hurricanes is done by major hurricanes, ” Kossin told CNN, “Increasing the likelihood of haying major hurricane will certainly increase this risk.”
【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Cristobal is the earliest Atlantic storm this year
B．A storm can be named only if it reaches a certain speed
C．August is the average month to see the hurricane season begin
D．Human activities play a vital part in turning a tropical cyclone into a hurricane

C．His sorrow
D．His delight

A．Whether satellites help forecast hurricanes
B．Human activities contribute to the global warming
C．Hurricanes come earlier and more strongly this year
D．Major hurricanes have caused severe damage and deaths this year
