21、Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat beside her.
“Mum, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. The she said, “Susan, look at this thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside.”
I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months my father still couldn’t walk by himself.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said. “I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

22、 The popular streaming service Netflix announced plans to exclude (排除) tobacco use from any of its new shows and movies that target younger audiences, specifically those below the age of 15. According to media reports, the decision comes from pressure from Truth Initiative, a large non-profit organization aiming to get rid of tobacco and make its use “a thing of the past”.
Smoking is a bad habit and no parents want their kids to start smoking. As such, excluding the vice (坏习惯) from television shows and movies young people watch makes good sense. I’ll acknowledge that Netflix’s decision to exclude smoking is a good one — but it’s a wildly inconsistent standard. What about other vices? For example, the use of bad language?
As parents of three young boys, my wife and I are trying to expose our children to good things. We want to encourage them to grow up to become responsible men who see the value and potential in every person. We want to see them avoid the landmines that so often entrap young people today.
Sadly, typical television shows and movies contain material that’s the exact opposite of that. It’s often said that companies only produce what people will consume — and there’s some truth in such a claim. But the organization I work for has long had an online site that helps parents know about what's in a movie, show or music album. We don’t tell you whether you should watch or listen — we simply let you know what it’s about — and let you decide. It’s our most popular site, attracting millions of visits each month.
Netflix might be surprised how many new customers they would win if they started producing content that parents actually want instead of themes that regularly stand in opposition to the values of the millions of moms and dads like me who want to see our kids accomplish more in life rather than simply avoiding the smoking habit.
【1】Why did Netflix plan to cut smoking from youth-targeted content?
A.Because of appeals from parents.
B.Because of the influence of media reports.
C.Because of requests from young audiences.
D.Because of pressure from a tobacco control organization.
【2】What are “the landmines” in Paragraph 3?
A.Bad habits. B.Comfort zones.
C.Unrealistic dreams D.Improper friendships.
【3】What does the online site mentioned in Paragraph 4 do?
A.It teaches parenting skills.
B.It promotes youth programs.
C.It advertises movies and shows.
D.It serves as an entertainment guide.
【4】What does the author think of Netflix’s decision to exclude tobacco use?
A.It is helpless.
B.It is far from enough.
C.It is against popular values.
D.It is a warning to tobacco makers.
23、 One of the most endangered species, the Hainan gibbon, is barely surviving. Only 30 remain on the planet, all restricted to a single forest on China's Hainan Island. "Because the species is so precious, each gibbon's survival is vital," says Bosco PuiLok Chan, who manages the Hainan Gibbon Conservation Project.
In the forest, the gibbons use their long arms to swing from tree to tree, enabling them to easily gather forest fruits. They're fearful of moving on the ground, which is why decades of forest fragmentation from cutting down trees and agricultural activities has separated groups from one another, causing them to slowly die out.
So after typhoon Rammasun caused a severe landslide in May 2015, destroying more of the gibbons' habitat and opening gaps that worsened previous tree losses, Chan and colleagues took emergency action. They employed professional tree climbers to fix one artificial rope bridge over the damaged section of forest. The bridge consisted of two mountaineering-grade ropes strung over a 50-foot-wide gap between trees.
A new study brings welcome news: Gibbons are using the bridge, suggesting that this strategy can be used elsewhere in the forest to help the animals move around, co-author Chan says. “At first, the gibbons acted as if they hadn't seen the bridge, so after waiting176 days,” Chan says, “it was a pleasant relief when the gibbons finally used it.”
“As we divide the world into smaller and smaller pieces with roads and other constructions, it's important to think about solutions for keeping connectivity between habitats,” says Gregory, who wasn't involved in the study. She adds the bridge could inspire other conservationists working to protect rare forest animals. Chan agrees but reminds that rope bridges are only a short-term fix. “Finding ways to restore natural forest should be a priority,” says Chan. “That is the most effective and long-term solution for conservation.”
【1】What life habit speeds gibbons' dying out?
A．Moving slowly.
B．The preference for fruits.
C．Living in separated groups.
D．The fear of living on the ground.
【2】Why did Chan's team fix the rope bridge in the forest?
A．To block out tree climbers.
B．To prevent more tree losses.
C．To connect separated habitats.
D．To lessen the effect of landslide.
【3】What was gibbons' reaction to the rope bridge at the beginning?
A．They ignored it.
B．They were afraid of it.
C．They made good use of it
D．They showed curiosity for it.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．'The number of gibbons is decreasing quickly.
B．Better solutions are needed to protect gibbons.
C．Chan thinks poorly of the effect of rope bridges.
D．Chan disagrees with Gregory in gibbon protection.
24、 The Great Wall of China winds across the country like a giant stone snake. It is 1,500 miles long, the Wall crosses mountains and rivers. It reaches from the ocean on the east to the desert on the west. The Chinese began their Wall more than 2,000 years ago. They worked on it for hundreds of years. The Chinese wanted to keep out their enemies. At the bottom, the Wall is 25 feet wide. At the top it is about 15 feet wide. The sides of the wall are made of stone and brick, while the inside is filled with earth. Parts of the Wall rise as high as three-storey buildings. Every 100 yards along the Great Wall there is a watchtower where soldiers used to stand to watch for enemies approaching(到来). The road on top of the Wall is wide enough for two wagons(马车) to pass. If we were to build such a Wall now, we would use modern machines. But the Chinese had to build the Wall all by hand. If the Wall were in our country, it would reach from the state of New York to Nebraska. The Great Wall of China is the longest wall ever built.
