21、Last night’s meteor (流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.
“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的) birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animals casualties（伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.
【1】It happened last night that________.
A. the city light show attracted many people
B. the meteors flew past before being noticed
C. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching
D. the meteor watching ended up a social outing
【2】What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A. Birds may take other migration paths.
B. Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.
C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.
D. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.
【3】Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________.
A. lessen the chance of getting cancer
B. enable all creatures to live in harmony
C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D. create an ideal observation condition
【4】What message does the author most want to give us?
A. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.
22、Maria Jones had just finished teaching a yoga class when she happened to notice an elderly man walking around by himself in the city centre of Aberdeen, Scotland.
As they shared a packet of chocolate bars over a coffee, Maria learned that Tom Smith, who was 83, had left his home that day for the first time in three years. Driven by extreme loneliness, he decided to take a ride on the bus. He’d taken two different buses that day.
According to Age UK, 1.1 million older people rely on using public transport for company. While health and mobility issues can lead to social isolation, the COVID-19 lockdown, coupled with the upsetting effect of the cost of living crisis, has contributed to a loneliness epidemic among the UK’s older population.
Senior expert Sally Baker sees the necessity of establishing a programme to reconnect the older people with their local communities. And helping them access local transport links is the first step. She says that she understands why travelling on public transport can help to reduce loneliness. It offers a setting for conversations to spark up. “Sitting side by side is often less inhibiting than direct eye contact,” she said.
However, Age UK is aware that many older people feel worried about getting out and about, with 38 percent saying they don’t feel confident using public transport.
That’s why the charity has initiated the Travelling Companions’ pilot programme, designed to help older people who might be feeling lonely to get out and about confidently. Each older person is matched with a volunteer who will help them achieve their travel goals.
One man at 80, who has been helped by Age UK’s new project, says, “The programme is making my world a lot bigger and brighter.”
【1】Why is Tom Smith’s experience mentioned in the text?
A．To give an example of someone getting lost.
B．To introduce the major topic to be discussed.
C．To illustrate the boring daily life of 80-year-olds.
D．To stress the value of chatting with older people.
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A．Older people need help to rebuild social connections.
B．Travelling alone on buses can be unsafe for older people.
C．Many older people take buses to ease anxiety.
D．It’s necessary to offer older people free bus rides.
【3】What is Age UK according to the text?
A．A research institute.
B．A senior citizen care centre.
C．A bus company.
D．A charity organization.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The widespread old age problem in the UK.
B．Loneliness among the UK’s older population.
C．A programme to help older people use public transport.
D．Volunteers who accompany the elderly people on their trips.
23、Dear David，
I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you’re about to become a father．You are asking：will I make a good father？How will I cope?
Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can l provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them．It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．
The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home．But as he walks through the office door，and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for Advice，he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progression of states，from the baby to the adult．Most people feel，on Tuesday，about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80．
There's a common remark that “all men are little boys”，but it's not true．It's more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives，are capable of groat maturity．
Once your baby arrives，you’ll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．You’ll see
you have very little in common with a needy child，particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support．
Comfort yourself，David，with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened．And remember that people who haven't grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up．
Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one．
Yours sincerely
Miss Advice

24、 Life began in Hawaii in 1985 for musical celebrity Bruno Mars. His dad, Pete, was a percussionist(打击乐手)and his mom, Bernadette, was a singer and dancer, so it seemed natural that Bruno would one day become a musician. At age 4, Bruno officially joined in a show, and audiences adored him. That early introduction to show business helped him develop confidence. He says, "Performing from such a young age just got me so comfortable on stage. Growing up performing-that was normal for me."

In 2010 Bruno caught a lucky break when he was asked to record one of his songs. It rocketed to the top of the charts. That same year he released his first original solo single, Just the Way You Are, which also hit number one. The song's success brought Bruno instant fame and star status.
