21、Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.
On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.
It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.
Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Moreover, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from overseas investors.
Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business people through the Internet and mobile phone apps.
Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.
【1】Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?
A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.
B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.
C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.
D. Because they wanted to attract passengers not to hire the private cars.
【2】The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.
A. positive B. negative
C. neutral D. unclear
【3】Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?
A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities.
B. App-based car rental is functional to some degree.
C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market.
D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company.
【4】We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies.
B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche.
C. Some investment companies have confidence in apps-based car rental companies.
D. It is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal.
22、What Is Good Citizenship?
Good citizenship is generally defined as how a citizen performs a role to become a useful member of society. This involves duties and responsibilities that may be expressed through laws and regulations. 【1】
Citizenship, in its general sense, is being part of a community. 【2】 The factors toward improving lives and relationship of a community include doing volunteer work, initiating community programs, and participating in economic affairs.
A good citizen is an important part of a progressive state. As covered by the social contract theory, a government is established to manage interaction among citizens, define an individual’s rights, enforce these rights, and make sure just compensation (补偿) is obtained when these rights are not obeyed. 【3】 The purpose of this social contract is to avoid chaos in a community, which is possible without good leadership. From this leadership arises good citizenship, allowing every citizen to expect others to respect for his or her legally demandable rights.
【4】 The most basic characteristic is the moral duty to recognize the rights of others. Another important characteristic is the ability to listen to the views of others. These views may bring about solutions to problems of the community. A good citizen is also willing to adapt to new situations. 【5】 Based on these factors, good citizenship is said to be related to both the intellectual and social skills of a citizen.
A．There are many characteristics of good citizenship.
B．Being a good citizen is important in improving the community.
C．Apart from these characteristics, a good citizen knows and obeys the laws of the land.
D．In turn, the citizens hand over to the government the powers that may limit some freedom.
E．This may also involve your behaviors expressed through the recognition of right and wrong.
F．As citizens, we care about others and being good members of our communities and our country.
G．Good citizenship lies in the recognition that members of a community work together to improve their lives and their relationship with one another.
23、 I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way. I went there several times a week with my mother when I was young. Those visits were fantastic. The library might have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy (自主权). In the library, I could have anything I wanted. And on the ride back home, my mom and I would talk about the order in which we were going to read our books, a solemn conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books were due.
When I left for college, one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my mom was that I was wild about owning books. All I know is that I lost my appreciation of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed time. If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some book at the library, I got annoyed and asked why she didn’t just buy it.
But in 2011,one of my son’s school assignments was to interview someone who worked for the city. He said he wanted to interview a librarian. As my son and I drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity, a recollection of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library. I had taken this trip so many times before, but at that moment I turned my thought on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.
As I walked into the library, nothing had changed — the sense of gentle, steady busyness, like a pot of water on a rolling boil (沸点), was just the same. In the library, time is dammed up — not just stopped but saved. I knew what hooked me was the shock of familiarity I felt — the way it revealed my childhood, my relationship with my mom, my love of books. However, as I was rediscovering those memories, my mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ once said that in Africa,whenever an old man dies, it is like a library has burned. But if you can take something from his or her internal collection and share it, it takes on a life of its own.

A.Her love of libraries.

24、 Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s, however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.
Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R Tolkien, was influential to the mas-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths — particularly Beowulf — but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkien’s close friend C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre.
Outstanding authors in the gene who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing (超过) the volume of the male ones.
Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s (坏人) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were place in extraordinary situations, and writing about what would happen.
【1】How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage?
A.Five. B.Six.
C.Seven. D.Eight.
【2】Why is it hard to make sure the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature?
A.Because stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since ancient time.
B.Because the fantasy literature appeared in Victorian times.
C.Because it was mixed with other forms of fantasy, such as video games, music, paining and so on.
D.Because since the 1950s the fantasy genre has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like.
【3】The underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph means ________.
A.rise rapidly and suddenly B.drop rapidly and suddenly
C.rise slowly and steadily D.drop slowly and steadily
【4】This passage is mainly about ________.
A.the background of fantasy literature
