21、WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seoul, she worried about finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop. The 23-year-old started a farm last year. Her first harvest was a success; she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kitchen, or returning to rural life. Coined a millennium ago, the term crops up during periods of economic hardship. This time, in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.
The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor(拖拉机) or select the best crops. It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.
The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms Kim says her neighbours have a bad temper. “The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice, or say that I will never be able to grow anything, ”she says. Her black beans beg to differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.
【1】Why does the writer tell Ms Kim’s story?
A．To start a discussion.
B．To introduce a topic.
C．To explain a solution.
D．To make a comparison.
【2】What does the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．A new identity.
B．A helping hand.
C．A big reward.
D．A different idea.
【3】What is the challenge for the young farmers?
A．Farming techniques.
B．Hard work.
C．Communicative skills.
D．Unwanted advice.
【4】What can we infer from kwichon in South Korea?
A．Farming makes huge profits.
B．Locals need technical training.
C．It helps to revive rural areas.
D．Government should help farmers.
22、 Happiness is an abstract concept. When one thinks of a typical happy person, smiling, laughing and cheering are what usually comes to mind. However, if people stop smiling or laughing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are unhappy. Happiness has many different levels, and it is difficult to place the word in one concrete category.
Many people believe as people grow older, they will feel more happiness. However, I just find they are not always so. When asking my twelve-year-old sister what made her happy, she initially told me that sleeping made her happy, and then she looked at me for a reaction. When I had none, she changed her answer to food, then to fashion, and then finally to family. Each time she glanced at me, looking for affirmation (肯定) that she had given a "right" answer.
My younger cousin, who is even younger than my sister, gave me an answer that surprised me. It wasn’t eating candy or watching TV that made her happy. It was love. Considering the clear differences between my sister and cousin in their answers, I came to see that age doesn't always largely contribute to happiness.
Asking my grandmother what brings her happiness, she immediately answered "her family" without hesitation. This is something I expected, as my grandma is always a family-centered person. This also aligns with her culture, being from Italy and growing up during the 50s, where family values were at its highest point in society.
Asking myself this question, I think carefully about my answers. Sure, my family, friends and pets make me happy, but so do reading, writing and watching movies. This is why I have come to the conclusion that I have no answer to my own question.
There is no one single thing that makes me the happiest, because, like everybody, my mood depends on many factors. Happiness depends on external factors, as well as one’s personality and age. This is why I have come to the conclusion that the journey of happiness cannot truly be defined, and that there isn’t one thing above all that makes everyone the happiest.
【1】What do we know about happiness from Paragraph 1?
A.It is pursued by nearly all people.
B.It’s difficult to describe it with words.
C.Its highest level is often expressed with laughing.
D.It may have nothing to do with one’s expressions.
【2】Comparing her sister’s and cousin’s answers, the author realized that_____.
A.happiness comes from very small things
B.age won’t always bring people happiness
C.little kids can sometimes give us inspiration
D.some abstract things can make people happier
【3】What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Is consistent with. B.Is beneficial to.
C.Breaks away from. D.Gets out of.
【4】What conclusion does the author draw about happiness?
A.Happiness is hard to achieve.
B.Happiness is determined by many factors.
C.The happiest people are often open-minded.
D.One's family gives him the most happiness.
23、 Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. Their advertisements target children. All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. “I don't understand how this is even legal, ” said a girl who took part in the study.
Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food irresistible. Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk food ads, they feel like they're fighting injustice. The reward is knowing they are doing the right thing.
Junk food has been linked to health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes，But in 2018，food companies spent nearly $9 billion TV ads selling unhealthy fare. Companies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make chips seen fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they'll annoy their parents to buy it. Even parents don't notice the power of ads. By the time they are adults they have been used to junk-food advertising. They just don't see it.
In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad's message true. For example, a McDonald's ad showed a Big Mac (巨无霸) and the words “The thing you want when you order salad. ” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad”.
Three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. Kids are becoming conscious of themselves as agents in the world. They see a chance to make the world a better place.
【1】What is the purpose of the experiment?
A.To survey what snacks children like best. B.To guide children against unhealthy food.
C.To find ways to make junk food healthy. D.To teach children how to pick out legal food.
【2】How do children feel about junk food advertisements after the experiment?
A.Cool. B.Legal.
C.Funny. D.Misleading.
【3】Why are parents unaware of the harm of junk food advertisements?
A.Parents have never seen such junk food advertisements.
B.Advertisements have blinded them since they were young.
C.The food industry has special advertising strategies for parents.
D.Parents have to agree with their children about the junk food.
【4】How did students conduct the experiment?
A.By correcting unreal advertisements. B.By offering suggestions to food industry.
C.By making up their own advertisements. D.By studying food industry advertising strategies.
24、 It was a day in late December. The Christmas tree had been taken down. The lights and decorations had been boxed up and put in the closet until next year. And I was feeling a little empty. Surely I wasn't looking forward to the long, cold, dark winter to come. I had always been a light lover on the inside. I tried to take comfort in knowing that a few more minutes of daylight was being added each day, but it hardly worked.
I was both surprised and delighted when I looked, out of my window and saw that a spring-like day had suddenly arrived. I could hear the neighborhood children outside playing in the warm air. I smiled when I saw them and my inner little girl longed to be out there riding bikes and playing games as well.
I tied my dogs for their afternoon walk hoping to enjoy some of the sunshine myself. As I was about to head out the door, however, I decided to do something a little different. I reached down and pulled my shoes and socks off. I hadn't been barefoot outside since the summer. I slowly stepped out on the cool damp grass. It felt so alive under my feet. I laughed as I walked along. I remembered something I once read too, “Walk as if you were kissing the earth with your feet.” And with each step I did so. My walk felt sacred and holy. I felt a oneness with the world and the love of Heaven all around me. With love in my heart, I thanked God for the gift of this day and no longer dreaded the coming of the winter. I thought I had gathered enough energy and courage to welcome it.
AH of us are walking through this life. But it is up to each of us how we do so. Are you going to trip and walk with heavy steps and complain with each step you take? Or are you going to kiss the earth with your feet and Heaven with your heart? The choice is yours.
