21、 
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one of the nations with the most diverse cultures in the whole Europe. This article will show you how to adapt to the varied culture of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Get used to small spaces. The United States is not only a huge country but also has big cars, houses and spaces. 【1】 Houses, apartments, cars and appliances are all smaller than what you are accustomed to, so you have to get used to smaller things.
Be polite. Always apologize for running into someone, even if it is their fault, as it makes you be a kind person. Respect people’s personal space and always wait inline.
Accept jokes. 【2】 Bantering and taking the mickey (取笑) are all ways to make fun of someone but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Teasing someone is a common way to show friendship. As one Briton put it, “You never make fun of someone you don’t like.”
Get used to the driving. The British drive on the left side of the road. 【3】 Also the cars in the UK have the steering wheel (方向盘) on the right side, so you need get used to this as well. Be especially careful with your turns and remember that right turns in the UK cross opposite traffic in the same way that left turns do in the US and other countries where people drive on the right.
【4】 The British use different words and pronounce words differently. Look around on the Internet or buy books about words and expressions used in Britain.
London is an excellent city and the most popular in the UK. 【5】 And the green countryside is a defining feature of the UK, which is something that should be explored.
A．Get used to the lifestyle.
B．Get used to the language.
C．Different regions have their own traditions and even languages.
D．Be sure that you do so, or the result could be terrible.
E．However, the UK does not have the luxury of space.
F．But there are many other cities filled with culture and wonder.
G．One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor.
22、Houston-based Dream Harvest Farming Co. is a vertical (垂直的) indoor farming company producing leafy-greens and herbs and delivering them locally to grocery stores in Texas and nearby states.
Zain Shauk, co-founder and CEO of Dream Harvest Farming Co., says on this week’s show of the Houston Innovators Podcast, “Thirty-five percent of the produce grown is thrown away before you even have a chance to eat it. Almost more shocking than that is that 80 percent of our water use as a nation is agricultural.” Constant water shortage is limiting outdoor farming in Texas State. So the city Huston relies on California for leafy-greens. But on account of the fact that it takes produce seven to ten days to travel from the West Coast to Texas, it’s not an ideal process in any way. Dream Harvest can change that, which was why the idea for the project was brought forward.
“The climate is changing now. We always talk about Earth Day and the importance of realizing our impact on the planet, but we are already there,” Shauk says on the show. The future of produce depends on making more environmentally friendly changes to the supply chain, and new technologies are enabling vertical indoor farming to bring these changes in some part.
Dream Harvest recently received a $50 million financial support from Orion Energy Partners to open a 100,000-square-foot indoor farming facility in Houston to increase production. Shauk says he’s also using the funding to support research and development to extend to other types of produce, but he has a lot to consider—affordability of the produce, maintaining sustainability, and more. “It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of research. When we started, we weren’t growing in a way that makes financial sense with the amount of money we have to spend growing the product—and now we do,” Shauk says.
【1】Where does the inspiration for Dream Harvest come from?
A．The progress in modern farming approaches.
B．The water-shortage and inconvenient product transportation.
C．The development of new species of leafy-greens.
D．The impact of outdoor agriculture on the environment.
【2】What does the underlined part “we are already there” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．We’ve already given up hope.
B．We’ve changed the climate.
C．We’ve already realized the problem.
D．We are protecting the Earth.
【3】How does Shauk feel about the present situation of the project?
A．Satisfied.
B．Doubtful.
C．Disappointed.
D．Unconcerned.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Agriculture on the planet.
B．Ideal greens in the future.
C．Support from Dream Harvest.
D．Houston vertical indoor farming.

24、Some people have come up with a creative solution with monster-inspired (以怪物为灵感的) art works to deal with the flood of cicada (蝉) shells that have cropped up across the country.
The species, Brood X, have come to states across the eastern and southern U.S. A lot of cicadas deposited their shells in states including Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Normally, people have no choice but to deal with the shells wherever they go. However, a recently rediscovered art piece from 2018 has encouraged others to copy it.
Alex from Michigan created a big monster-inspired art work out of dozens or even hundreds of cicada shells. The monster took inspiration from old Japanese monster movies and shows, like Godzilla, Ultraman or Super Sentai— the show that Power Rangers is based on.
The interesting art work led to similar works from other artists. Albert, a student of University of Maryland, created a copy of a monster in Xenomorph. He said, “We are taking action! Getting ready for the coming risk of cicada shells with some art inspiration from Alex’s creations and other cicada shell artists will be there.”
The art is so unbelievable that FOX ran a fact-check on the art. The result is “yes”. People are harvesting hundreds of cicada shells to make monster-inspired art works.
Some curious people, such as Alice and Mary, are learning to make a cicada statue (雕像) of the monster Baltan in Ultraman step by step. Some people have taken a normal approach and simply create art inspired by cicadas. In New Jersey, people create life-size painted cicadas on sidewalks.
【1】Why did the American people make monster-inspired art works?
A．To solve the problem caused by cicada shells,
B．To create a kind of interesting art work.
C．To help cicadas go to the whole country.
D．To copy the movies and shows of monster.

D．Changed.
【3】What’s Albert’s attitude to the art form?

B．It’s difficult for people to make the statue of Baltan.
C．The solution has become popular among American people.
D．American people are competing with each other in art works.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary’s family was very poor; her mom worked as a cashier at a store and her dad worked as a guardian. However, Mary was studying at a famous private school that cost $15,000 each year. Even so, she didn’t really bring too much economic burden to her family. Being good at all her subjects, Mary could study there on a scholarship and she had no trouble paying almost all necessities.
At school, Mary always tried to pretend to be a girl from a rich family, because she’s afraid that others would be unwilling to make friends with her if they knew her family background. Everyone at the school had nice clothes and shoes, so it became harder and harder for Mary to keep up.
Mary’s friend Patricia had been planning a big party for her 16th birthday for two weeks, which was going to be held in the ballroom of a hotel. Mary had also been invited to the party. She wanted to wear a beautiful dress to the party, but she knew she could not afford it.
“Mary, what are you going to wear?” her friend Linda asked her. “I think I’ll wear the dress I wore at your birthday party last year,” Mary said in a low voice. Linda said, “You’re kidding me, right?” “Yeah, I am! You guessed it!” Mary said. For fear of being laughed at, she had to lie and in order to cover up her lie, she had to get a new dress.
Everyone would be wearing expensive and beautiful clothes, but Mary could only spent $30 on a dress. What could she do to get a new dress for the party? Mary was considering doing one more part-time job, but she had done three part-time jobs and couldn’t spare time for a new one.
