21、 With paper flowers and music hanging around in the air, Lyu Jun was hosting a small farewell ceremony at an industrial zone in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. It was a funeral for a pet dog. Lyu came up with the idea of becoming a pet mortician (殡葬师）four years ago when he was preparing to start a business.
“At that time, there was only one brick-and-mortar(实体的）business that provided funeral services for pets in Shenzhen, but hundreds of pets die every day in this city,” he said. According to Lyu, many pet owners used to bury the remains of their beloved animals near their homes , which had a harmful impact on the environment and created the risk of spreading disease.
He saw a gap in the market for someone able to properly handle the death of pets.“A pet funeral service provides treatment of the bodies that is harm-free, and it is the greatest comfort to pet owners,” Lyu said.
He takes good care of the remains of the pets and tidies up their appearance before the funeral. In addition, he prepares funeral addresses and selects suitable tombs for the pets.He also films funerals for owners who cannot attend the ceremonies, and provides paper and pens for those who want to write down their blessings and hang the notes on the wishing tree.
Over the past four years, Lyu has bid farewell to more than 2,000 dogs, cats and other kinds of animals. He also does volunteer work in his spare time to promote responsible dog raising.“The pet funeral service industry is still in its babyhood, and I hope there will be a set of strict standards for people who take on this job and a better environment for the industry,” Lyu said.
【1】Why did Lyu start the business on pet funeral service?
A．Because he could earn a lot of money from it.
B．Because he thought it met the market requirement.
C．Because he thought it would be a unique and challenging business.
D．Because he could help owners bury their dead pets near their homes.
【2】What does Lyu often do as a pet mortician?
A．He delivers speeches to mourn the pets.
B．He gives best wishes to the pets' owners.
C．He makes films of the pets for their birth.
D．He nurses and cares for the pets carefully.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Lyu volunteers to raise pets on his own.
B．The pet funeral service has got a big success.
C．More strict standards should be set for pets' owners.

22、Surf holidays don’t have to mean noisy backpacker hotels and sticky floors. You can also book some truly unique surf stays right here.
The house on an island, Newquay, England
Separated from the mainland and accessed via a suspension bridge, this island is completely isolated (隔绝的) by water. It’s particularly famous for surfing and storm watching. Once on the island, you can pick your own flag from the collection in the house and raise it to let everyone know you’ve arrived.
Sleeps Six, from £ 1,776 for Three Nights.
The eco turf house, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
Folks in the northern hemisphere (半球) have been building such houses since 4,000 BC. Special roofs keep the houses naturally warm. These cottages also attract wildlife. For extra warmth, there’s under-floor heating and fuel-burning stoves. And stay guilt free－a wind turbine 300 metres away provides all the power to these eco houses.
Sleeps two, from £ 600 for two nights.
The inland surf camp, Bristol, England
The Camp at The Wave is minutes from an artificial surf break producing 1,000 perfect waves of varying sizes and shapes an hour. Unlike other surf destinations, you can book your trip for whenever suits you and be guaranteed perfect waves. These tents have a kitchen. There’s also a cafe on site.
Sleeps eight, two-night minimum stay mid-week and three-night minimum stay on weekends. From £ 105.
The coastal carriage, Ceredigion, Wales
The last of its type in existence, this Edwardian original sleeper carriage was built in 1905 for the London and South Western Railway.

23、 Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you’ll like. Hercules-sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant-big, but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception.
The next few days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and inhaled(吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from his chores, was unable to appreciate his work.
On the third day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables. Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable!
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Reluctantly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet(天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.
That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
【1】Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm?

24、In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity(寿命), according to a new Cornell research.
“We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-pancl longevity, ” said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering.
“There is potential for agrivoltaic (农业光伏) systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration (蒸散) rates compared to traditional solar farms,” said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems.” In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agricultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhang’s group.
The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil.
“As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your solar panels, ” said Williams, “We’re showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, we’ve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers.”
“Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant sunshine, ” said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces.”
【1】What does the new Cornell research convey?
A．Growing commercial crops can relieve climate change.
B．It’s costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity.
C．Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency.
D．The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial.
【2】Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3?
A．To show the promising future of agrivoltaics.
B．To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York.
C．To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms.
D．To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The Northeastern US is rich in agricultural lands.
B．Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics.
C．The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition.
D．The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical.
【4】Which is a suitable title for the text?
