21、Libraries have existed for nearly as long as humans have had written languages. They have been esteemed places of learning and comprehensive repositories (储藏室) of human knowledge, history, and ideas. Written materials from all over the civilized world have been collected and preserved in libraries, and without them much of what was known to ancient peoples would have been lost in the modern world.
Democracies and open societies, especially like the free exchange of ideas and information--all ideas, not just those that are socially acceptable at a particular point in time and all opinions, no just mainstream ones.
Our public libraries need to be places that broaden our perspectives and stretch our minds and imaginations. There’s no reason to ban any books from the general public. That’s not to say all books are appropriate for all age groups. But it’s easy enough to limit access of the very young to “adult” literature without preventing mature readers from a full range of materials.
Private libraries may sometimes regard certain topics as too offensive or objectionable to include in their collection. And elementary school libraries should probably not include books that would be inappropriate for young children on their bookshelves. All libraries have to be selective, due to limited budgets, and space and age are always considered in acquisition decisions. But this is very different from actually banning specific titles.
And who is to decide what is acceptable and what is not? Should we get rid of all materials that are unconventional, that challenge the present situation, or that make anyone uncomfortable? Should we restrict all materials in public libraries to what is inoffensive to the most sensitive members of society or to what overprotective parents believe will not disturb young children?
Democracies, as they say, are messy. The Harry Potter novels may be the greatest children’s books ever written. Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States may be a publication of nation’s rich history, but sometimes brutal history to some else, especially those ever hurt by the country. Anyway, libraries exist to preserve all human thoughts and recorded experience.
【1】Which of the following does the author most probably agree with?
A．All books are suitable for all age groups.
B．It’s a right decision to ban some bad books.
C．Many young readers have become mature ones.
D．Ideas which are not the mainstream should be accepted.
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A．The libraries should be child-friendly.
B．Some libraries have their unique needs.
C．Public libraries are better than private ones.
D．Libraries should get rid of conventional materials.
【3】What does the underlined word “brutal” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．cruel
B．strange
C．unfamiliar
D．important
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The history of libraries around the world.

22、 Jake Meyers, a graduate student in Northwestern University, has won the Best Sharable Video award in Planet Forward's national Storyfest 2020 competition. The project teaches, celebrates and rewards environmental storytelling by students from across the county.
As a master’s student, Meyers works at the intersection of climate adaptation and food security. During the summer of 2019, Meyers worked with the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, to investigate climate adaptation solutions to food insecurity in the rapidly urbanizing nation.
Meyers´ video, "Can urban farming feed the future?", shares the story of Francis Wachira, a leading advocate for urban facing in Nairobi.
Millions of people are moving from rural to urban areas as large-scale farming, coupled with climate change, forces small-scale farmers to abandon their livelihoods and pursue economic opportunity in urban areas, "Meyers said.
As food security concerns grow for the people of Nairobi, farmers like Francis are transforming urban lots into highly productive green spaces to raise livestock ( 牲 畜 ), grow vegetables and fight climate change.
" Francis has an incredible urban farming system in Nairobi that features over 600 head of livestock and 150 species of plants, "Meyers said. " I wanted to highlight Francis and his innovative approach to urban farming through storytelling with the goal of inspiring change."
"I have become so inspired by many incredible people like Francis Wachira. So many around the world are re-imagining solutions to poverty and climate change, yet their stories remain untold. I hope to continue using storytelling as a means of highlighting different perspectives that can create impact and advocate for transformational change, "Meyers said.

24、While car sharing is a concept that’s catching on, old-fashioned carpooling where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a resistance (抗拒). In a study on traffic problems by ABC News, 84% of those who drive to work say that they still do it alone. More than half those lone riders insist that carpooling is just too inconvenient, and 18% say they simple don’t know anyone to share a ride with.
Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun. NuRide, a company provided an online carpooling service last year, offers daily travelers in the Washington area not just a web-based list of would-be carpoolers but also a way to arrange a trip online. Here’s how it works: rider seekers enter the positions where their trip will begin and end, the time they want to leave and if they’re willing to drive or just ride in someone else’s car. The website’s search engine then looks for matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions, along with the car model and the exact time and place to meet for each trip. People who want to share the ride can show their interest in joining in online and then meet their car mates when it’s time to go.
NuRide users aren’t riding with total strangers. They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address, both of which need to be checked before being listed on the website.
To attract users, NuRide offers a frequent rider prize: anyone who shares a ride gets a $1 credit. So far, 2,300 people have signed up. NuRide CEO Rick Steele said that more than 50,000 rides have been arranged on the website, resulting in 1.4 million fewer miles driven and 650 fewer tons of automobile emissions (机动车排放).
