21、 Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon（羚羊峡谷）is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3, 700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.

• Must-know tip: Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.

22、Whenever the word “hero” comes to me, I immediately think of three Hs: honorable, hardworking, and happy. When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.
Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5, 1901. During her time at College she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology. These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for. After college Hattie attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.
After her education, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants(幼儿) dying from meningitis(脑膜炎). Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped at as many locations as she could. Spending substantial(大量的) time in the laboratory, Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 percent. At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.
She was a caring lady interested in other people’s lives. When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away. Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York City’s Babies Hospital. After many honors, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965. This was her last major achievement, for soon after, Hattie died of cancer on June 24, 1968.
Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others. She gave them her strength by developing medicines against diseased, which, by doing so, made them stronger. This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.

23、 With the introduction of its new C40 Recharge on Tuesday, Volvo became the latest automaker to bet that consumers who have so far been uninterested to the idea of an EV (electric vehicle) might change their minds if it comes in a form of cars they love: the crossover (跨界车). Whether they do may be vital to the success of California’s plan to end sales of gasoline cars by 2035.
Volvo joins Ford of Europe and Jaguar in promoting EVs, promising every car it makes and sells by 2030 will be all-electric. In a webcast to introduce the new vehicle, the company also laid out a new sale strategy — the C40 and all electric Volvo cars will be available for purchase only online. A group of electric crossovers has hit the market in recent months, including the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Tesla Model-Y and the Volkswagen ID.4.
Whether customers flock (群集) to crossover EVs will signal to regulators how much or how little work they need to do to meet the plans such as California’s. Despite the state’s aggressive plan, sales of all-electric vehicles remain less than 2% of the U.S. total.
“The manufacturers are taking a calculated risk here,” said Matt DeLorenzo of auto market research firm Kelley Blue Book. “Crossovers are popular with the mainstream. That’s where the volume is.”
Electric cars sold in the U.S. until recently were short-range ones or high-end luxury cars, neither one a high-volume category. In 2020, 2.4 million crossovers were sold in the U.S. “If you can’t sell an electric crossover, then you’ll have trouble selling any kind of vehicle,” DeLorenzo said.
To sell in large numbers, the vehicles will in the first place need continued government financial support for the next few years at least, Edmunds market analyst Caldwell said. Although battery costs are coming down, they still cost significantly more than gas engines. Although crossovers will serve as an early indicator of customer acceptance, Caldwell said she wouldn’t call 2021 a make-or-break year for EV makers.
【1】What does Volvo intend to do with its new C40 Recharge?
A．Win more consumers on EVs.
B．Help prevent California’s 2035 plan.
C．Change the shape of vehicles.

【3】What do we know about the EVs sold in the US?

B．They entered the market recently.
C．Their information is available only online.

【4】What’s vital for the sales of EVs according to Caldwell?
A．Improving the service of crossovers.

C．Getting government’s financial support.
D．Making 2021 a make-or-break year.
