21、Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or culinary (烹饪的) traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.
On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us.
On a larger scale, food is an important part of culture. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.
In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together. The cuisine of the United States also reflects its history. The European colonization of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the U.S.
As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access cuisines from different cultures. We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our culture's food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods. It's important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.
【1】What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1?
A．A link between food and culture.
B．Connections between food and the growth of people.
C．Different types of food.
D．Concerns about food and culture.
【2】What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Traditional food.
B．Traditional culture.
C．One generation.
D．Childhood.
【3】How do people feel about Chinese food?
A．It is rich in all kinds of vitamins.
B．It balances the dishes of different countries.
C．It is extremely crucial to balance people's daily life.
D．It contains abundant dishes with various flavors.
【4】What can we learn about food from this passage?
A．It binds us to the society, holding a special and personal value for us.
B．The European colonist in Americas brought the ingredients and cooking styles from their hometown to the USA.
C．In Chinese culture, harmony in cuisine is of little significance.
D．We should refuse the cuisines in other cultures.
22、Should we focus on our goal, or on the process?
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Focusing on everything that would give her another chance, she quickly let go of what happened in the 800m race and got back to her routine. A week later, she won the third place in the 1500m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
Generally, overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical （不道德的）behavior and reduced motivation. We see this happen in the real world all the time: someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring, and, in the worst case, he'll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition. These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them. For example, some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues". Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there. Dieters often experience this in what's called "yo-yo dieting" — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
However, focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the ultimate outcome. It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts. For Martinez, this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800m race, but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition, sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500m race.
Therefore, after you set a goal, it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal, and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.
【1】With a question at the beginning of the passage, the author intends to________.
A．enhance the persuasion
B．persuade readers to accept his views
C．provide convincing evidence
D．inspire readers to reflect on the topic
【2】Brenda Martinez's example shows that________.
A．it is important to set big goals
B．failure is the mother of success
C．focusing on the process can lead to success

【3】What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B．Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C．In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D．It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
【4】According to the author, what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process?
A．Avoiding failure during the process.
B．Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C．Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D．Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.
【5】In the passage, the author suggests that we should________.
A．ignore the bad effects of overemphasizing goals
B．move forward without motivation
C．divide a big goal into smaller pieces and concentrate on process
D．concentrate on our goals rather than the process
23、No trees are seemingly cut down every time you search something or read a social media post on your phone or laptop. But websites alone do create emissions (排放)—internet usage is responsible for almost four percent of global emissions. That might not seem like a lot, but it is equivalent to about the same emissions caused by global air travel. That percentage is predicted to almost double by 2025 according to a post by Brussels-based energy magazine Energuide. And internet usage is on the rise—as the pandemic pushed many jobs and education online, internet usage went up as high as 40 percent.
The emissions caused by websites come from the hosting company that ensures that websites are up and running when users search for them on their server. By working with an environmentally sound server like Green Geeks, A2 Hosting, and Host Papa that focuses on renewable energy or lowering their energy usage, websites become more sustainable, Wired UK reported. Something as simple as using fewer images on a web page also helps lower emissions. Another way to reduce emissions is to have simply designed websites with little to no moving images like gifts.
Another aspect of creating more sustainable websites means raising awareness, or letting servers or customers in need of new web design know that it’s even an option for them. Some major search engines like Google have promised to reduce their tech centers’ water usage and to rely on more sustainable energy to run their search engines and other online products like Gmail and Google Docs.
Baruch Labunski, CEO of Toronto-based SEO company Rank Secure, explains that when many clients work with the company to have their websites designed, they don’t often think about sustainability. Companies like Rank Secure make a point to have sustainability as part of their process when working with businesses who want help with web design by relying on more sustainable data centers.
Of course, lowering the greenhouse gas footprint of your website is just the start of building up a sustainable company. Just relying on some renewable energy to have an eco-friendly website doesn’t make a company automatically eco-friendly.
“We need to think about the overall impact of our businesses.” says Labunksi. “If your business manufactures or even uses singleuse plastics, then your website’s carbon footprint shouldn’t be your primary concern.”
【1】To create more sustainable websites, the hosting company should_________.
A．meet the data needs
B．design new websites with more gifs
C．work with an eco-friendly server
D．improve the education online
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．The clients should raise awareness and consider sustainability.
B．Rank Secure has no sustainable awareness when working with business.
C．Creating more sustainable websites can provide the only option for clients.
D．All major search engines promised to reduce their tech center water usage.
【3】The passage is written to__________.
A．evaluate the methods to reduce emissions
B．inform readers the harm of overusing websites
C．encourage search engines to lower the energy usage
D．call for building up sustainable companies of emission reduction
24、 Darshan Karwat is making headlines for having maintained an incredibly plain and continued lifestyle during his student years. The man gave up fast food, new clothes, and even toilet paper, until he got to a point where his trash（垃圾）for an entire year fit in just two plastic bags!
Karwat, who is originally from India, started the trash-free experiment when he lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and managed to keep it going for two and a half years. In the first year, he produced only 7.5 pounds of trash, and in the second year, he brought that number down to 6 pounds, which is a mind-blowing 0.4 percent of the 1,500 pounds of yearly trash produced by the average American.
Looking back, Karwat says that his inspiration to start the project came from a radio show The Story, on which he heard of a British couple who lived trash-free.
His trash mostly consisted of a few chip bags, glass milk-bottle caps, fruit stickers, and broken glass. He obviously had to make lots of sacrifices to achieve this – he stopped buying any kind of packaged food including cheeses, only drank milk from recycled glass bottles, and gave up on buying new clothes or stuff for his home – no gadgets, furniture, or even cups. He began carrying his own fork, spoon, plate, and a bowl everywhere he went, just to avoid plastic cutlery（餐具）.
“I needed to change the way I lived, and I had to get creative,” he added. “When a restaurant furnished a napkin-wrapped（包纸的）fork and knife, I asked the server to change them for cutlery without the napkin. I’d remember to say “No straw!” after asking for water and to make sure the veggie（素食者）burger I ordered didn’t come with a wooden pick holding it together. I did what I had to do, and it was awkward.”
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How a person inspires others
B.How Darshan Karwat gets famous.
C.Darshan Karwat and his no trash experiment.
D.A plain and sustainable lifestyle attracts the public.
【2】Why did Darshan Karwat have the idea of living trash-free?
A.Because he is from India.
B.Because he has been in university.
C.Because he heard a story on the radio.
D.Because a British couple reminded to do so.
【3】What did Karwat buy when he was making no-trash experiment?
A.Cheeses. B.Furniture.
C.Milk. D.Gadgets.
【4】What Karwat said in the last paragraph shows that .
A.he seldom went to a restaurant
B.it wasn’t convenient to live the life
C.the server seemed cold to him
D.he was proud of what he had been doing
