21、A busy public square in the Chinese city of Nanjing is home to an unusual experiment.
For almost two months, the country’s first “honesty bookshop” has occupied（占据） a sidewalk on HanZhong Road in the city’s Gulou District.
With no cashier or other staff, the store relies on trust for payment.
Making money isn’t the company’s main goal and they don’t punish those who take books without paying.
“If they can really finish the books, it doesn’t matter if they took the books for free,” Zhu Yu, the marketing director of the company says.
“In fact, we are really happy to witness so many people taking books from the honesty bookshop.”
After browsing the four wooden bookshelves, customers must drop their money in a locked box.
Prices are set at 30% of the usual cover price.
Zhu hopes that his sidewalk store, which sells, on average, 60 books a day, will make more people interested in reading.
Like elsewhere, e-books are affecting sales of traditional books, and traditional books and many independent booksellers are struggling.
Zhu got permission from the city government to use the sidewalk and says he’s determined to make it a long-term project.
He says the store is open every day, except when it rains, and it’s locked up each night.
In September last year, the company laid out 1,000 books and reading lamps on the ground and encouraged people “to go on a date” with a book.
“Independent bookshops represent the well-being of the city.” Zhu told CNN in 2013, “when a city is losing its bookshops, it’s actually losing something in its soul.”
If the success of the Honesty Bookstore is any guide, Nanjing’s soul is in pretty good shape.
【1】How is the bookstore different from other bookstores?
A. There is no cashier in it.
B. There are no paper books in it.
C. None of the customers need to pay for the books.
D. Only honest customers can visit the shop.
【2】What does Zhu Yu say about customers who take away books without paying?
A. They will be forbidden from visiting the bookstore again.
B. They will have to pay a lot of money next time they visit the shop.
C. They are not doing wrong if they finish reading the books.
D. They will not be allowed to take books away next time.
【3】What is one of the purposes of opening the bookstore?
A. To encourage people to read.
B. To make customers honest.
C. To check whether customers are honest.
D. To help people learn about Nanjing.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A. The shop is only open on weekends.
B. The books in the shop are more expensive than shoes in other shops.
C. 30% of the normal cover price is charged for each book.
D. The shop is not locked at night.
22、Walking around the shopping malls of Beijing, you will find a glass-enclosed mini karaoke booths, in which people are addicted to singing without blasting out loud music.
The booth houses a karaoke machine with a large touch screen, two barstools, two pairs of headsets and two microphones. Equipped with everything singers need in a KTV room, the new booth can be paid for online using apps such as WeChat and Alipay, and will automatically send the saved recordings to users, enabling them to share them on social networking platforms.
Luo Anwu, founder of U-sing mini karaoke, said the karaoke booth catered to people’s increasing need for entertainment. Our U-sing mini karaoke offers consumers a place to sing while socializing with their friends or other singers online.
From Beijing to Shenzhen, mini karaoke houses are being rolled out in shopping malls, cinemas, restaurants and even tourist spots in an effort to win back the past glory of KTV bars. Having received 60 million yuan ($8.72 million) in its latest round of financing, U-sing expects that the company will provide over 30,000 karaoke booths nationwide by 2017-end, according to Luo.
Nan Jiang, 27, tried the new self-service entertainment booths. “Generally, a standard mini karaoke booth will cost me 60 yuan per hour. I also can choose singing for only 15 minutes just before seeing movies. And I really love the recording function.”
However, these booths do have their tricks. In U-sing mini bars, users have the option of paying 12 yuan to sing one song or paying 30 yuan for 15 minutes. But the time spent selecting songs is also included in the 15 minutes, so many consumers only get to enjoy one or two songs for 30 yuan, making these booths much more expensive than traditional KTV outlets.
【1】Why is U-sing mini karaoke so popular nationwide?
A．It meets the demand of entertainment.
B．It offers people a free place to sing songs.
C．It has made more profits than KTV bars
D．It makes people addicted to singing.
【2】Which of the following is advantage of a mini karaoke booth?
A．It is easy to put up everywhere.
B．People can share songs through the Internet.
C．Consumers operate it without instruction.
D．It can choose songs for people automatically.
【3】Which of the following about U-sing mini karaoke is true?
A．Users are able to choose songs while seeing movies.
B．Fewer U-sing mini karaoke booths will be built.
C．The charging way is not pleasing.
D．The songs can’t be recorded.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to mini karaoke booths?
A．Disappointed.
B．Objective.
C．Negative.
D．Thankful.
23、While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet? Or do you just feel out of breath? In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change.
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) in March supporting bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to “add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.
The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists Federation.
The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. On February 28, the UN published a new report assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature changes.
Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) from transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO 2 emissions from all daily travel than non-cyclists.
Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19. In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely.
More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere (大气层) by 4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources Institute.
【1】What is the resolution aimed at?
A．Winning all member states’ support.
B．Making bicycles part of public transport.
C．Dealing with the problem of climate change.
D．Making people healthier and more athletic.
【2】What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text?
A．The whole world’s attention on climate change.
B．Cycling is encouraged in numerous countries.
C．China’s success in Bike-sharing systems.
D．More people wish to exercise more.
【3】Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change?
A．It get people to exercise and stay healthy.
B．It can largely reduce our carbon footprint.
C．It can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.
D．It helps us stay away from crowded public transport.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Cycling to improve health
B．Cycling to a climate solution
C．Why is cycling so important
D．A new resolution by the UN
24、 From talking robots and video phones to rovers on Mars, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet – we still have no cure for the common cold.
Why can’t we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh
Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that are produced by the rhinoviruses (鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They mutate (突变) so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn’t likely to work on every type of cold.
However, researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can’t spread inside your body.
To identify the gene which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes in the human genome (基因组) one by one for thousands of cells. These modified (改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of enteroviruses(肠病毒), including the rhinoviruses which cause the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate (复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein, called methyltransferase SETD3.
Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives without the protein. “Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection.” associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. “These mice would always die, but they survived and we saw a very strong reduction in viral replication and very strong protection.”
Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily suppress (抑制) the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans. “We have identified a fantastic target that all enteroviruses and rhinoviruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance.” said Carette. “This is a really good first step – the second step is to have a chemical that mimics (模拟) this genetic deletion.” he added.
【1】What does Peter Barlow think is the main problem for prevention of the common cold?
A.The slow mutation of some genes.
B.The fast speed at which rhinoviruses spread.
C.The wide variety of cold viruses created by rhinoviruses.
D.The harm rhinoviruses do to the immune system.
【2】What can we learn about the protein needed by the viruses?
A.It allows the viruses to mutate easily.
B.It helps the viruses replicate inside our bodies.
C.It helps the viruses become resistant to drugs.
D.It accelerates the speed at which the viruses spread.
【3】What did the researchers discover in their gene-editing study?
A.The modified cells seemed to protect the mice against viral infections.
B.Genetically modified mice died because they lacked the protein.
C.More methyltransferase SETD3 was produced after the cells were modified.
D.The gene-editing technique was more effective against enteroviruses than rhinoviruses.
【4】What do the researchers most probably do next, according to Carette?
A.Conduct experiments on genetically modified humans.
B.Apply this gene-editing technique to control other viruses.
C.Identify a drug that can help reduce the protein.
D.Find a chemical that can cure all enteroviruses and rhinoviruses.
25、Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
