21、 When sociolinguist Calvin Gidney say The Lion King in theaters two decades ago, he was struck by the differences between Mufasa and Scar. The characters don't have much in common. Mufasa is heroic and faithful, while Scar is cynical (嘲讽的) and power-hungry. 【1】 Mufasa has an American accent, while Scar, the lion of the dark side, roars in British English.
Gidney, an associate professor at Tufts University, saw Scar’s accent as part of a disturbing pattern in the film -foreign accents and non-standard dialects were being used to voice all of the "bad” characters. Gidney also noticed that Scar’s minions (部下) , the hyenas (鬣狗),spoke in ether African American English or English with a Spanish accent.
Gidney found this trend concerning. "I thought it was really disturbing and it was necessary to ‘take back the jungle' from the British- sounding evil lion, plus the African American-sounding and Latino-sounding hyenas," he said.
Gidney was inspired to conduct a study of language patterns in animated kids' entertainment. He teamed up with Julie Dobrow, a senior lecturer at Tufts who specializes in issues of children and media, to study how these trends play out on kids' television shows. They’ve since analyzed about 30 shows and 1,500 characters, and they’re still at work on the project.
For their initial study in 1998, Gidney and Dobrow had a team of coders analyze 323 animated TV characters. 【2】
In many of the cases studied, villains (恶棍) were given foreign accents. 【3】 Meanwhile, the study found that most of the heroic characters in their research sample were American-sounding.
The most wicked（邪恶的）foreign accent of all was British English, according to the study. 【4】 German and Slavic accents are also common for villain voices. None of the villains in the sample studied seemed to speak Standard American English. When they did speak with an American accent, it was always in regional dialects associated with low social and economic status.
Since television is an important source of cultural messaging for children, this correlation of foreign accents with "bad "characters could have concerning influence on the way kids are being taught to engage with diversity in the United States.
A. A modern-day example is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, the bad guy in Phineas and Ferb who speaks in a German(ish)accent.
B. But what Gidney noticed most was how they each spoke.
C. From Scar to Aladdin's Jafar, the study found that British is the foreign accent most commonly used for villains.
D. They have continued to find these same accent trends through the past few decades.
E. The study's findings are noteworthy in part because television's entertainment value makes it a powerful mode of messaging.
F. Their findings suggested that lots of kids' shows use language to mark certain traits in a given character.
22、In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process is often carried out in poor countries which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment, or in practically uncontrolled ways which make more wastes generated.
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products -as well as management of the resulting waste-all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?
Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your television?
From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
【1】What do we know from the Swiss study?
A．Natural minerals contain more gold.
B．The weight of electronic goods was by no means small.
C．Precious metals account for a great proportion in e-waste.
D．The percentage of precious metals is small in electronic goods.
【2】Which way is incorrect to reduce waste?
A．Recycling machines without control.
B．Making as few purchases as possible.
C．Creating products out of finished products.
D．Simplifying the process of manufacturing products.
【3】The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended ________.
A．from individuals to distributors
B．from producers to governments
C．from governments to producers
D．from distributors to governments
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The creation of e-waste.
B．The increase in e-waste.
C．The seriousness of e-waste.
D．The management of e-waste.
23、Eating, probably one of the most-important parts of the day and probably one of things that change most when moving to another country. In Oaxaca, Mexico, adapting to eating patterns can take a while.
The first few months of living here I enjoyed eating Mexican food. I quickly learnt that big lunches and small dinners were the Mexican way and I kinda liked it. It made sense. As the months wore on I desired cooking and with it I desired the ingredients I knew and loved.
Oaxaca is known for its fantastic food and the food really is mind-blowing, but the problem for me was variety. I am from London, a city where you can eat food from a different country every day of the week, I was spoilt when it came to choice. I began to instruct friends and family who visited to bring Thai curry paste, sweet chili sauce, Indian curry sauces and gravy to make the perfect English Roast dinner.
For quite a while Oaxacan food lost its charm and the thought of cooking Mexican food was just too annoying. I would start to think about dinner at 5 just as my local market was shut and I would realize I had no ingredients and no means of getting any unless I took a long journey to the supermarket. It sounds like a strange thing to pet concerned about but I really think it was one of the biggest changes that I faced moving to Oaxaca.
However, just as I hit the two-year mark, things changed. I guess somehow I stopped fighting things and I began to adapt to the Oaxaca market food way of life. I shopped regularly for the freshest ingredients. I knew what was in season and I cooked accordingly. I started to realize just how super lucky I was to be able to eat fresh, locally sourced, seasonable food on my own doorstep. What started as culture shock turned into an improved way of living!

A．She preferred shopping in the supermarket.
B．She was concerned about strange things.
C．Everyday cooking disturbed her quit a lot.
D．Food held little appeal for her.
【4】What does the story tell us?
A．If you can’t beat them, join them.
B．Where there is a will there is a way.
C．Food brings people together on many different levels.

24、Two Canadian cyclists are riding 8,000-kilometers across Canada with an importanttask. These great riders have Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease and during their tour, they are helping others with Parkinson’s to get on their bikes and rediscover freedom and joy.
Steve Iseman and Jim Redmond started their bike tour on June 25, 2022, in Victoria, British Columbia. They are receiving support and help on the way by friends Mike and Loghrin and his wife Darlene.

This two Canadians want to inspire others to do the same. To ride with Parkinson’s, people may have to make a few changes, but the rewards are boundless, being great for mind, body, and feelings. “I can now cycle again.

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。
The cheerful girl, Jenny, with golden hair was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a necklace of shining white pearls in a pink metal box. Quickly the mother checked the back of the little metal box and then looked back into the begging blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar and ninetyfive cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think of some extra housework for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy it for yourself. Besides, you might get another dollar bill from Grandma on your birthday a week away.”
After dinner back home, she did more housework and even she asked the neighbor for housework for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at least she had enough money to buy the cheap necklace from the dime store (廉价商店).
Jenny loved her pearl necklace. She wore it everywhere. The only time she took it off was when swimming.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”
“Oh, daddy. You know that I love you.”
“Then give me your necklace.”
“Oh, daddy, not my pearl necklace. But you can have my Barbie doll — the one you gave me. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
Daddy repeated the same request about a week after the story time. However, Jenny refused and wouldn’t give up her necklace to her daddy.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed, waiting for her father.
