21、 There are many places to go on safari (观赏野生动物) in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.
【1】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To warn B.To entertain
C.To introduce D.To educate
【2】What does the author find most exciting about a horseback safari?
A.Seeing and feeling the real African life.
B.Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.
C.Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.
D.Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.
【3】The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by ________.
A.following space order B.following time order
C.making classifications D.giving examples
22、For some adolescents and teenagers, using social media can be as easy as breathing. But a study suggests there could be a hidden price: their mental health.
Young people who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are more likely to suffer from depression (沮丧) , anxiety and other illnesses and are more likely to experience bad feelings about themselves, according to the study by Johns Hopkins University.
“Time spent on social media may increase the risk of experiencing cyberbullying (网络霸凌),’’ according to the study. Seeing others’ lives on social media “may also expose adolescents to idealized self-presentations that encourage social comparisons”.
But it might be difficult to break the close connection between young people and social media — something that’s ubiquitous and seemingly an extension of their personal lives.
“A 2018 Pew Research Center survey found that 97% of adolescents report using at least 1 of the 7 most popular social media platforms,” according to the study. “Moreover, digital media use by adolescents is common: 95% report owning or having access to a smartphone, and almost 90% report they are online at least several times a day.
The study sought to examine the data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health. Data was examined for some 6,600 adolescents aged 12 to 15 who reported spending time on social media during a typical day but who also reported mental health difficulties.
After weighing factors, the research found that the youngsters who spent more than three hours a day on social media were more likely to report mental problems, compared with adolescents who didn’t use social media.
One potential solution is to help young people reduce the time they spend online, according to Kira E. Riehm, the lead researcher. More importantly, she adds, parents should teach their children to think critically about what they’re seeing online, and that “idealized” photos of their friends don’t necessarily represent an ideal life.
【1】What can cause mental problems of the young according to the study?
A．Too much learning pressure.
B．The occasional social comparisons.
C．Spending too much time daily on social media.
D．Holding negative opinions about others constantly.
【2】What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Very common.
B．Rather strange.
C．Old-fashioned.
D．Quite expensive.
【3】How was the study carried out?
A．By having face-to-face interviews.
B．By conducting a series of surveys.
C．By collecting information from social media.
D．By analyzing the data from believable resources.
【4】What does Kira E. Riehm want to emphasize (强调) in the last paragraph?
A．The benefit of a strict time limit.
B．The importance of critical thinking.
C．The necessity of representing an ideal life.
D．The frequency of family interaction.
23、Australian electronics and homewares retailers are preparing for the invasion (涌入) of American giant Amazon, but some have decided to take the fight up to the online-based store when it comes to local shores.
Last week, Amazon confirmed its rapid Australia expansion by announcing that it was searching for a site to build its “fulfillment center”—a large warehouse(仓库)for storing and shipping goods purchased online—but local retailer, including one of Harvey Norman’s founders Gerry Harvey, have said they will make it hard for Amazon to succeed in Australia.
Harvey Norman sells electronics, furniture and bedding—all markets in which Amazon hopes to hold a stake, but Harvey has said that he will happily go toe-to-toe with the American behemoth to hold his ground in the Australian market.
“In America and other parts of he world, they have just demolished (彻底打败) other retailers, no question about that, and they send a lot of retailers broke,” Harvey told News Corp on Monday. “There is no question they have one ambition and like Attila the Hun, or Alexander the Great, they just want to demolish everything in front of them and then at the end of the day claim to be victorious and make their own rules. So this is a company that is extraordinary by any measure and challenges every rule that has ever been written about a business.”
Some analysts have said that Amazon could take in as much as 3 billion U. S. dollars in sales in its first five years in Australia (around I percent of the total 225 billion U.S. dollar market), but Harvey has refuted those claims, saying that local retailers would be putting up “one hell of a fight” when Amazon launches is main retail services in Australia. “We will be ou there fighting them like no American retailer has ever fought them,” he said. “Any price that they put we will beat or equal.”
Meanwhile, Harvey’s thoughts were backed up by the former CEO of supermarket chain Woolworths. Roger Corbett, who said Amazon would struggle to keep its lower wages and claims of lightning fast delivery to rural parts when it opens in Australia. “Amazon will have an impact on the market place, but they are coming into an already very competitive market,” he told News Corp.
【1】Why did Gerry Harvey react actively to Amazon’s expansion to Australia?
A. To support other national brands.
B. To maintain his own share in the market.
C. To realize the Australian market’s diversity.
D. To learn from Amazon’s immediate success.
【2】What is Amazon like according to Gerry Harvey?
A. Powerful and creative.
B. Aggressive but outdated.
C. Ambitious and reliable.
D. Promising but adventurous.
【3】What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. Amazon will take the lead in Australia soon.
B. Amazon has no access to the Australian market.
C. Amazon’s service quality needs improving urgently.
D. Amazon’s expansion to Australia will be challenging.

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 family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little sad on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother's Day-and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio.
She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. As they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the fragrance(香味）of purple lilacs(紫丁香） hanging on the big bush outside her parents' back door. Later,when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. “I know where we can find all you want," he said.
So off they went, driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce: warm sunshine, unclouded blue skies and vibrant(充满生机的） newness of the green and growing all around.
Before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. Soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. With a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it brought back. Carefully, she chose a sprig(小枝） here, another one there. Finally, though, they returned their car for the trip home.While the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.
When they were within three miles for home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, “Stop the car. Stop right here!" The man slammed on the brakes(刹车）. Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop. the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope (斜坡） with the lilacs still in her arms.
At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch. Among them was an elderly lady, sitting in her wheelchair alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others.
