21、Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children.
On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.”
Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.”
Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”
Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!”
Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.”
【1】Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?
A．Because Knightley disliked it.
B．Because the little mermaid was tricky.
C．Because the film showed wrong values.
D．Because the songs in the film were annoying.

B．Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids.
C．Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White.

【3】What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?
A．Curious and hard-working.
B．Smart and generous.
C．Independent and good-mannered.
D．Critical and proud.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

22、 “I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,”said the man at the petrol station.“Is it raining out there?”“No,it’s pretty nice,”I replied,checking my sleeve.“Oh,right.A pony(马驹)bit me earlier.”
As it happened,the bite was virtually painless:more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child.The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor,and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods,despite signs asking them not to.By feeding the ponies,tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car,and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked,the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk,and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area.Some of them are also later sold,in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago,I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of here.While walking,I noticed a pony roll over on his back.“Hello!”I said to him,assuming he was just rolling for fun,but he was very still and,as I got closer,I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily.I began to properly worry about him.Fortunately,I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo.The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony.The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks.The farmer freed him,and he began to run happily around again.
Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies,who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area.Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies,and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的)future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially-troubled elements.
【1】Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?
A.To protect the tourists from being bitten.
B.To keep the ponies off the petrol station.
C.To avoid putting the ponies in danger.
D.To prevent the ponies from fighting.
【2】One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is______.
A.to feed baby ponies on milk
B.to control the number of ponies
C.to expand the habitat for ponies
D.to sell the ponies at a good price
【3】What was the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?
A.He freed it from the trap.
B.He called a protection officer.
C.He worried about it very much.
D.He thought of it as being naughty.
23、 Few people would name their favorite color as gray or cream, yet our homes are often filled with these neutral tones. When I studied color and its effect on joy, I wondered: Why is there such a gap between the colors that make us feel energetic, and the colors that surround us?
“Chromophobia,” was the immediate answer I received when I posed this question to Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, architects of Saguaro Hotel in California. “People are afraid of color. It’s the fear of making a choice, of making a mistake and having to live with it.”
I could relate. I used to be such a person, so afraid of color that the spectrum of my entire apartment fell between white and cream. Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint it. But something funny happened. Each day I’d come home to that apartment, it felt like the sun was shining, even in the dead of winter. In ever again thought about repainting after the first week.
If you’d like a more energized space, experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls, bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects. This approach of using tiny bursts of bright color can be an appealing strategy for people who are afraid of color and it’s surprisingly effective.
It takes a little practice to become confident with color, especially when it comes to putting different ones together. But here’s a clever shortcut for finding joyful combinations. Once, when Stamberg and Aferiat were stuck on choosing a color for a house they were designing, they turned to painter David Hockney who suggested, “Look at Matisse.” Not only did the brilliant paintings of Henri Matisse inspire them to choose the right blue, but they also began to use this approach with clients. When people see striking colors coexisting kindly on a canvas, it gives them confidence that they will also work in their homes.
【1】What does the underlined word “Chromophobia” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A mental state of fearing color.
B．A social phenomenon of rejecting changes.
C．An attitude to pursuing a simple lifestyle.
D．An awareness of making the right choice.
【2】How did the author feel about the walls after he moved into another apartment?
A．Depressed.
B．Calm.
C．Dissatisfied.
D．In different.
【3】How can people create a more energized home?
A．By painting the wall colorful.
B．By hanging a painting of Matisse.
C．By relying on a good decoration company.
D．By putting in some bright-colored furniture.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To present the findings of a study on joy.
B．To explain the relationship between color and joy.
C．To uncover the reasons why people prefer mild colors.
D．To encourage people to live happier with bright colors.
