21、 I visited Copenhagen for the first time last Easter. As a student, I’m always strapped for cash, so I assumed I could only afford to breathe the air — but luckily everything about Copenhagen is breathtaking.
I was staying in an Airbnb, and rented a bike so I could cover more ground. One of the first places I visited was the Rundetaarn, or “round tower” built in the 17th century as an astronomical observatory. It has an equestrian staircase (a wide set of stairs big enough for horses to use) that went on and on. As I was going up, I stopped to visit the tower’s library hall. At the top, there’s a glass platform that gives a view 80-foot straight down, as well as a bell loft. Luckily, the views over Copenhagen from the top were well worth the climb.
After coming down, I hiked up to the Kastellet Fortress to see the famous Little Mermaid statue. Taking a photo with her was almost impossible with all the tourists crowding around — but sitting there and hearing the lapping waves of the deep blue Baltic Sea, waiting for the sun to set, was an unforgettable and calming experience.
The next day, I visited the Glyptotek art museum, exploring the grand exhibits. I looked into the marble eyes of many Roman gods, and walked down dimly lit staircases to see mummies from Egypt.
Before I unwillingly boarded the train back to the airport, I told myself that I must visit again — to experience the thrills of Tivoli Gardens, try more of the street food and everything else from this amazing city.

22、The drop in garment prices over the last 20 years has allowed us to buy more and more clothes. We now have 5 times more clothes than our grandparents had. 【1】
It has become a challenge to wear a garment more than five times. Garment quality is declining every year. As a result, our clothes immediately look faded or shapeless not long before purchasing them. 【2】 We continue to purchase just to stay up to date. Fast fashion has become a monster in our closets.
What's more, chemicals used in every part of the textile production are greatly harmful. Even clothes made of 100% natural fiber still contain a lot of chemicals.
【3】 The fashion industry is also the second largest polluter in the world just after the oil industry. In most countries where garments are produced? waste waters from textiles factories are dumped directly into the rivers. Some of them even reach the sea and eventually spreads around the globe.
Clothing has clearly become disposable. 【4】 A family in the western world throws away an average of 30 kg of clothing each year. Only 15% is recycled or donated, and the rest goes directly to the landfill or is burned. It is also fueling our environmental concern.
How can we avoid the environmental impact from the fashion industry? 【5】 A root of the problem lies in our excessive consumerism. Buy better quality. They often last long and good for the environment. Donate your second-hand garments to charity instead of throwing them in dustbins. Whatever your option, you are doing your part in saving our planet.
A．We don't have many greener options in the fashion industry.
B．As a result, we generate more and more textile waste.
C．They can present a real danger to our health.
D．Trends are changing so quickly that we cannot keep up.
E．Think twice before throwing away your second-hand garments.
F．To achieve the goal we should first reflect on our lifestyle and buy less.
G．This, in turn, has serious consequences on our consuming habits, our health and our planet.
23、Teachers in poor areas are always being asked to do more with less. They’re given smaller budgets (财政预算) and larger tasks in schools that employ fewer teachers and take in more students. But none of these struggles can quite compare to the challenges faced by Akoto in Ghana, who is an information and communication technology teacher who has been assigned to teach his students without using an actual computer. So like any good teacher, Akoto teaches them by drawing pictures of a computer on the blackboard.
Akoto recently shared images of one of his computer lessons, in which he can be seen using multi-colored chalk to draw the features of Microsoft Word software on the blackboard. In one of the photos, you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks. And his photos have gotten quite a response.
One might ask, “Why do they bother to take such a challenging course?” But here’s the reason: Even though the students at Akoto’s school don’t have computers, they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before moving on to high school.
So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material. He has drawn pictures many times for his students over his six years and just happened to share the pictures this time on Facebook. He says he has his own personal laptop, but it is different from the one Akoto is required to teach. He doesn’t bring it to class for fear of confusing the kids with a computer that they have never seen.
The good news is that those Facebook pictures made their way to the right place. Microsoft Africa promised to give him some proper resources. Others also stepped up to the plate and helped out Akoto. NIIT Ghana, an information technology training institution, donated five computers to Akoto’s school and one for Akoto himself. A PhD student at the University of Leeds in the UK inspired by Akoto also donated a computer.
【1】Which of the following best describes Akoto’s school?
A．Loosely managed.
B．Ill-equipped.
C．Well-staffed.
D．Large-sized.
【2】What do Akoto’s students do in his classes?
A．They copy his images.
B．They take turns to use an actual computer.
C．They learn to identify multi-colored chalk.
D．They usually take photos of the computers.
【3】Why does Akoto choose not to bring his own laptop to his classes?
A．Its functions are limited.
B．He is unwilling to share it.
C．It may puzzle his students.
D．He is confused by its system.
【4】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．To stand still is to move back.
B．Great things can be achieved by joint efforts.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Will people reduce car use in 20 years？
Nowadays, the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one’s wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars, we couldn’t help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people’s daily lives. Nevertheless, the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.
Above all, the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment, if such a tendency is not brought under control in time, the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future. People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day, thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect, which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition, more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, people ought to reduce the use of cars.
In fact, diversified measures are being taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency continues, the effect will be shown in the near future. For example, to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days. A number of private cars are prohibited on no-driving-days.
Last, the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners’ way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses, subways, trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile, advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.
