21、It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet，a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then，that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟的) shopping off the ground，and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies，too，quickly saw the potential for online shopping，and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases，many credit card companies will happily refund(退还) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers，of course. No lineups，for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.
When shopping online，consumers can sit down，have a coffee，and wear their slippers，not having to worry about their hair or parking，and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(快递公司) getting in on the act，you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the“virtual” world to attract online shoppers.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “leery” in the first paragraph?
A． confident
B． doubtful
C． hopeful
D． disappointed
【2】Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on .
A． freedom of shopping
B． shopping convenience
C． security in shopping
D． Internet access
【3】The following have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT .
A． Internet giants
B． traditional advertisers
C． courier companies
D． credit card companies
【4】What does the author think of the current online shopping?
A． Safe，fast but unrealistic.
B． Cheap，convenient but unsafe.
C． Reliable，popular but slow.
D． Safe，convenient and fast.
22、We did a quick survey of New Year traditions around the world, and couldn’t help but notice that the traditions might reflect cultural varieties? but the meanings behind them are pretty universal.
Philippines
In Philippines? families hold traditional dinner parties called Media Noche to greet the New Year. Circle-shaped fruits are their favorites, such as grapes, oranges and melons, since they look like coins, you know. Filipinos actually try to choose 12 different kinds of fruit to put on the table—one for each month in the New Year.
Make sure you leave some food in your plate. It’s bad luck to start the New Year off as a hungry wolf.
Spain
Many Spaniards will eat 12 fresh grapes at midnight—one with each strike of the clock. Each grape represents a wish for happiness and good luck for every month in the coming year. This “12 grapes in 12 seconds“ custom came from a grape farmer in the Alicante region who wanted to promote his produce about a century ago. The tradition has spread to other countries too? with a few adjustments. In Portugal? they eat 12 dried grapes. In Peru? they eat a thirteenth grape.
Denmark
In Denmark? they eat kransekage, a big horn-shaped cake, on New Year’s Eve. When they’re finished with the cake, it’s Danish custom to throw the used plates against the front doors of their friends and neighbors. It’s actually a sign of friendship.
Italy
Pork sausages are usually served on New Year’s Eve in Italy. Italians choose pork because they think pigs are fat and keep moving forward, while other animals, such as chickens or cows, move backward or stand still.
But whatever you eat into the New Year in Italy-pork, fish or chicken-make sure you stay at home. Italians throw old possessions out of the window after midnight as an out-with-the-old, make-room-for-the-new gesture.
【1】How many kinds of fruit are usually served at Media Noche?
A．6.
B．8.
C．10.
D．12.
【2】Who eat dried grapes at midnight to greet the New Year?

B．Spaniards.
C．Filipinos.
D．Italians.
【3】What do the last two traditions have in common?
A．Eating special meat.
B．Throwing away old things.
C．Leaving food in plates.
D．Preferring coin-shaped fruits.
23、Earth is a big place, but size isn’t everything. The planet’s richest ecosystems are in rapid decline, forcing us to acknowledge countless creatures worldwide are running out of room.
85% of all species on the IUCN Red List are endangered due to many forms of habitat loss, from complete deforestation to less obvious effects of pollution and climate change. Every species needs a certain amount of habitat to find food, shelter and mates, but for a growing number of animals, the space where their ancestors found those things is now overrun by humans. As habitats decline, animals also grow more vulnerable to secondary dangers like disease or conflict with people.
According to many scientists and conservationists, the best strategy to avoid a dramatic loss of biodiversity is to set aside half of Earth’s surface area for wildlife. That might sound like a big sacrifice at first, but upon closer inspection, it’s still an incredibly sweet deal for us: One species gets half the planet, and all other species must share the other half. This idea has been around for years, confirmed in programmes like the WILD Foundation’s “Nature Needs Half” campaign, but it has gained more different opinions recently. And it may now have one of its most forceful arguments yet, thanks to a 2016 book by well-known biologist E. O. Wilson titled Half-Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life.
Half-Earth, therefore, isn’t so different from today’s Earth. We’re already doing many of the right things, as Wilson recently told the University of California-Berkeley’s Breakthroughs magazine. We still have a few big biodiversity zones left, and others that could still recover. We just need to protect as many wilderness areas as we can, fill in gaps wherever possible and do no further harm. “I’m sure we can go from 10% to 50% coverage, land and sea,” Wilson says. “It could be large reserves that still exist, like in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, in the taiga, the major wilderness areas of Congo, in Papua New Guinea, the Amazon—these can be made inviolate reserves; they can be pieced together.”
【1】What is the main cause of wildlife’s rapid decline?
A．Habitat loss.
B．Terrible disease.
C．Conflict with people.
D．Poor living conditions.
【2】What does the writer intend to show in paragraph 3?
A．The method to save our planet.
B．The real profession of E.O. Wilson.
C．The solution to avoiding wildlife decline.
D．The origin of “Nature Needs Half” campaign.
【3】What does Wilson feel about Half-Earth strategy?
A．Curious.
B．Confused.
C．Concerned.
D．Confident.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Sharing the Earth with other animals.
B．Changing our attitude toward wildlife.
C．Increasing the population of wild animals.
D．Protecting the existing habitat for wildlife.
24、 I arrived at my mother’s home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What’s this？”I asked. “Oh？”Mom said，“That’s Mama’s quilt. ” I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together. “Grandmother made this？”I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made. “Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” Mom said，“I’m still working on it. See，this is what I’ve done so far. ”I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight（直的）At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words:“ My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt. ” “Oh，this is so nice，Mom. ”I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman，and continued with the loving hands of another.
