21、   Thinking about my time in France, I noticed quite a few differences between the French and the English.

The first example is about the French language. In French, there are two ways to say ‘you’: ‘tu’ is  the informal  (不正规的) form, while ‘vous’ is the formal form. When I learnt French, I was taught to call everyone ‘vous’ unless ( 除 非 ) they were my family or a friend. So I was surprised that everyone in France used the informal ‘tu’ all the time. School children used ‘tu’ with their teachers as well as the head teacher. Even strangers I met in the street would call me ‘tu’, and sometimes ‘tu’ was written on street signs. But I continued to use ‘vous’ because I didn’t want people to think I was being impolite. To be honest, I’m thankful that in English we don’t have to worry about these things!

As you might know, school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear uniforms. It was a culture shock for me to see children wearing Spiderman T-shirts  and baggy blue  jeans while in the classroom. The final difference was the relaxed attitude at school. Teachers were never in a hurry, and  the children and teachers were given long rests and much time to eat their lunch. While  in  the  UK,  school day might seem highly pressured (有压力的).

The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea, but there are many differences between the two cultures! Anyway, I cannot deny (否认) what a great chance it was to live and work in another country.

【1】Which of the following is NOT a culture shock to the writer?

A. It takes French students much time to eat lunch.

B. French students use ‘tu’ with their head teacher.

C. Students in France wear different clothes at school.

D. Teachers and students in the UK seem highly pressured.

【2】What might the writer say to his friends when he goes back to the UK?

A. It’s very fantastic  to stay in France. B. People in France are more polite than us.

C. The French culture is  just the same as ours. D. It’s more difficult to learn French in France.

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Life in France B. Troubles in France

C. Cultural Differences D. Different Languages

22、In only a few months, a disease has completely changed the world. Thousands of people have died and millions of people have fallen ill. For the rest of us, our way of life has become totally different.

From New York to London, the busiest pubs and theaters have been left empty. International flights are being canceled. People are working from home. These are all aimed at controlling the spread of the COVID-19. However, all of these changes have also led to another unexpected benefit: a drop in carbon emissions（碳排放）. Compared with this time last year, levels of pollution in New York have been reduced by nearly 50 percent.

So will the COVID-19 turn out to save the environment?

Kimberly Nicholas is an environmental scientist in Sweden. To answer that question, she says, you have to find out why emissions have dropped. Take transport as an example. It makes up 23 percent of global carbon emissions. These emissions have fallen as people are staying at home. Nicholas says they will remain lowered until the COVID-19 is totally brought under control. But what will happen after this outbreak（爆发）is over?

“It’s hard to say,” Nicholas says. While staying at home, many people have realized the importance of family. In the short term, some people will still avoid travel and spend time with their families instead. However, some people are feeling bored after not being out for a long time. They are eager to return to their old habits and may even travel more often. If that happens, transport-related emissions could come back.

But Nicholas says she and many other scientists have seen hope. The outbreak of the COVID-19 shows that at the national and international level, if we need to take action, we can. When we look out for each other, we all can make a big difference.

【1】From New York to London, people are working from home in order to ________.

A．save time

B．make less carbon emissions

C．save money

D．control the spread of the COVID-19

【2】According to Kimberly Nicholas, will the COVID-19 save the Earth in the end?

A．Yes, it will save the Earth in the end.

B．No, it won’t save the Earth in the end.

C．The COVID-19 will only cause more pollution in the end.

D．It’s hard to say whether it will save the Earth or not.

【3】According to Nicholas, some people will still avoid travel for some time after the COVID-19 outbreak is over because ________.

A．they want to continue to save the Earth

B．they have lost their interest in traveling

C．they have realized the importance of family

D．they don’t have enough money to travel abroad

【4】Why has Nicholas seen hope?

A．Because she has discovered a new method of saving the Earth.

B．Because she has seen that people can take action if they need to.

C．Because many people have changed their attitudes towards family.

D．Because more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate change.

【5】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．New York has shown a record drop in pollution after the COVID-19 broke out.

B．Nobody has been killed by the COVID-19.

C．Most people will travel more often after the COVID-19 outbreak is over.

D．The COVID-19 would make the Earth cleaner.
