21、 In New York City, eating on the subway is controversial. No law bans the practice, but a Democratic state senator introduced one last week. The proposed law would ban eating on the subway system and fine first time violators $250, according to the New York Times. Supporters of the bill argue that eating on the subway attracts rates. Other say the broader target should be those who carelessly drop litter in public places, rather than those who carefully sip their coffee and eat their bread on the way to work. They also argue that “street food” is an important part of New York’s culture and history. Banning its consumption in public areas such as the subway would have negative effects.
Street food and eating in public places is along-established cultural practice in cities like New York, Beijing and Paris. But commonly, it has been traditionally thought of as what the lower classes would do. Eating in public was (and in some places, still is) associated with uncivilized, poorer people. In the 19th century, eating in public was seen as a threat to morality and public health. Putnam’s (a popular magazine at the time) stated, “Eating in public may lead to a certain freedom of manner in little ladies and gentlemen. It was something people in the Victorian era did not want to encourage. A recent New York Times article drew a link between this moral panic about street food and concern over the growing populations of Irish German, Italian and Jewish immigrants who ran food carts in the 1800s. “To Victorian society, immigrant street peddlers were called ‘hucksters’, a name that still has a bit of moral judgment to this day.”
In Australia, street food is not something you see every day. Carts selling tasty snacks only come out for festivals or market days. However, eating in public places such as parks is encouraged. Outdoor barbeques at the beach or picnics in the countryside are common. While eating on public transport is discourages, it would unlikely lead to any sort of conflict in Australia. From an Australian perspective, street food is an exciting and tasty new dining opportunity, and not one I would associate with being uncivilized.
China’s street food scene is similar to that of New York City’s: It is a culturally entrenched practice and one that adds a lot of color and flavor to the scene of streets. But whether you love eating street food, or have to eat your breakfast on the run, it’s best to be considerate when enjoying a bite in public.
【1】Supporters of “street food” are against the bill, because ________.
A．eating on the subway may attract undesirable pests like mice
B．consuming food on the way to work proves their carefulness
C．banning litter-dropping is more important for the environment
D．enjoying a bite in public areas is a part of the city’s culture
【2】According to paragraph 2, what can be inferred?
A．Only the uncivilized, poorer people were allowed to eat in public places.
B．Street food was seen as a threat in the 19th century because they were not heathy.
C．Eating in public was considered impolite for children in the Victorian era.
D．Immigrant street peddlers were encouraged and thus welcomed in the 1800s.
【3】According to paragraph 3, what is true in Australia?
A．Eating in public like parks may be seen as ill-mannered.
B．Having food on the subway system may cause serious conflicts.
C．People may feel excited about being allowed to eat in public.
D．Tasting street food may bring much enjoyment whenever possible.
【4】The word “entrenched” in paragraph 4 maybe closest in meaning to ________.
A．deep-rooted
B．eye-catching
C．well-known

22、 One peaceful afternoon, I open a photo album. I turn to a photo of a nice old man I had the honor to meet once. The memories rush back. That old man was not only kind, but also a legend. He was once one of the glorious “Flying Tigers”.
The “Flying Tigers” were also known as the American Volunteer Group. They served in China before the United States officially got involved in World War Ⅱ. They fought bravely for us against the Japanese. Only a few of them are still alive.
Louis T. Sneddon was a tail gunner and assistant engineer with the 14th Air Force near Kunming.
I expected to meet a serious man, but in fact Louis was kind and always smiled at me.
“I’m happy to be back in your home after 60 years. China has been in my heart although far away,” he said to me.
I was astonished when he told me his story. He finished 30 to 40 flying tasks, with over 900 hours of flight time. The main task was to patrol (巡逻) and attack ships moving between Japan, China and the Pacific islands. Bomb runs would fly low under the radar, drop their bombs and fly over the ships. These were considered to be the most dangerous missions of the war.
“Were you ever afraid?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Well, I didn’t think much about it. I just… did it,” he said, with a smile on his face. “But I was fortunate. The 10-member crew of my plane all returned alive.”
He was badly wounded, but he did not report his wounds and kept flying. His bravery and spirit deeply moved me, while his personality taught me a life-lesson.
“Make every day count.” His words ring in my mind. But the important thing I learnt from him was that we need to overcome our fear. Sometimes we think too much about the consequences, when we should really breathe deeply and take the brave, necessary step.
【1】When did the “Flying Tigers” serve in China?
A.When World War II broke out.
B.Before the US was formally drawn into World War Ⅱ.
C.When America got the final victory in World War Ⅱ.
D.After China declared war against Japan.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Louis T. Sneddon’s main task?
A.It was extremely difficult and dangerous.
B.Louis T. Sneddon had to fly for 900 hours in this task.
C.No one but Louis T. Sneddon survived in this task.
D.Louis T. Sneddon was slightly wounded in this task.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Tiger of a Man B.A Photo Album
C.Flying Tasks D.The American Volunteer Group
【4】What was the intention of the author to write this passage?
A.To memorize a brave soldier.
B.To tell us a lesson of being optimistic.
C.To share his experience with us.
D.To appeal for peace forever.
23、It’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% side they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by VotesforSchools.
While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data being compromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes the consequence of a post can be disastrous."
In response to the survey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays-the best period for parental oversharing.
In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”
Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.
The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the lnternet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting(晒娃)-the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintended consequences further down the line.”

D．Give reasons for the result of the survey.
【3】What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?
A．Safety.
B．Consequence.
C．Wisdom.
D．Health.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Parents should take children’s opinions into account.
B．Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.
C．Children must make sure to listen to their parents.
D．Children should avoid unintended consequences of`sharenting.
24、 The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.
My kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that's right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon to you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if it gets up early it is sure to get the worm.
I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most out of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength, When you empower （武装） yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities， confidence and self-esteem （自尊）.
You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically ? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.
You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it's Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.
