21、Before COVID-19, there was widespread movement (运动)in the U. S. -shoppers in many American states were required to bring reusable bags to food stores or pay money to receive a bag; restaurants in some areas were told not to use plastic takeout boxes. But COVID-19 has changed everything.
In just a few days, governors in Massachusetts and Illinois became strongly against the use of reusable cloth bags that were often brought to food stores; Oregon put off its new ban on plastic bags; and cities from Bellingham, Washington, to Albuquerque, New Mexico have stopped plastic bag bans for the time being. "Those who use reusable bags do not often wash them. People are frightened as COVID-19 continue, so the environment is taking a back seat," said Glen Quadros, owner of the Great American Diner & Bar in Seattle, Washington.
There is an increase in takeout food and a ban on reusable cups and straws (吸管) at the few coffee stores that remain open. Many environmentalists worry that COVID-19 would impede their efforts to reduce plastic products.
According to a study by the U. S. National Institutes of Health, the virus can stay on plastics for up to three days. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it appears possible for a person to get COVID-19 by touching something that has the virus on it and then touching their face. As a result, the Plastics Industry Association says that one-use plastic bags are safer now.
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New York, Oregon and Vermont have all banned plastic bags statewide. The Plastics Industry Association recently sent a letter to Alex Azar, who is head of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Association asked him to do something about the plastic bag bans, saying that the rules are putting people at risk.
【1】What is the movement about in the U. S. mentioned in the text?
A．Saving food and decreasing waste.
B．Making full use of plastic products.
C．Removing one-use plastic products.
D．Encouraging cooking at home.
【2】What happened after COVID-19?
A．Plastic bans received support from more states.
B．Plastic bans prevented people ordering takeout food.
C．Plastic bans were overlooked by the public.
D．Plastic bans sped up the spread of viruses.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "impede" in Paragraph 3?
A．reward
B．require
C．increase
D．stop
【4】What does the Plastics Industry Association want to do?
A．To improve the quality of one-use plastic bags.
B．To teach people the right way to use plastic bags.
C．To ask Alex Azar to remove the plastic bag bans.
D．To support Alex Azar in fighting against COVID-19.
22、No longer in the pink
Corals are comeback creatures. As the world froze and melted and sea levels rose and fell over 30,000 years, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, which is roughly the size of Italy, died and revived five times. But now, thanks to human activity, corals face the most complex condition they have yet had to deal with.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change, a rise in global temperatures of 1.5oC could cause coral reefs to decline 70-90%. The planet is about 1oC hotter than in the 19th century and its seas are becoming warmer, stormier and more acidic. This is already affecting relations between corals and the single-celled algae (海藻), which give them their color. When waters become unusually warm, algae float away, leaving reefs a ghostly white. This “bleaching” is happening five times as often as it did in the 1970s. Meanwhile the changing chemistry of the oceans makes it harder for corals to form their structures.
If corals go, divers and marine biologists are not the only people who will miss them. Reefs take up only a percent of the sea floor, but support a quarter of the planet’s fish diversity. The fish that reefs shelter are especially valuable to their poorest human neighbors, many of whom depend on them as a source of protein. Roughly an eighth of the world’s population lives within 100km of a reef. Corals also protect 150,000km of shoreline in more than 100 countries and territories from the oceans buffeting, as well as generating billions of dollars in tourism revenue.
Coral systems must adapt if they are to survive. They need protection from local sources of harm. Their eco-systems suffer from waste from farms, building sites and blast fishing. Governments need to impose tighter rules on these industrials, such as tougher local building codes, and to put more effort into enforcing rules against overfishing.
Setting up marine protected areas could also help reefs. Locals who fear for their livelihoods could be given work as rangers with the job of looking after the reserves. Visitors to marine parks can be required to pay a special tax, like what has been done in the Caribbean.
Many reefs that have been damaged could benefit from restoration. Coral’s biodiversity offers hope, because the same coral will grow differently under different conditions. Corals of the western Pacific, for example, can withstand higher temperatures than the same species in the eastern Pacific, which proves a way forward to encourage corals to grow in new spots.
【1】According to the passage, what may happen to corals when waters become warm?
A.Turning white B.Getting pink
C.Being active D.Becoming colorful
【2】According to the passage,corals can _______ the changing in the nature.
A.live with B.escape from
C.die in D.recovery from
【3】According to Paragraph 4, the governments should__________.
A.carry out stricter rules on industries around the coast
B.call on volunteers to look after the marine reserves
C.reduce the number of visitors to the marine parks
D.ban people from fishing in the coral reef areas
【4】What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To present the importance of coral reef to the world.
B.To introduce the severe effect on coral reef brought by climate change.
C.To propose governments to take action immediately to save coral reef.
D.To attract more attention to coral reef protection.
23、The two roads
It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal--- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snake hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night.
The clock in the church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
【1】In the 3rd paragraph, the man cried painfully because _________.

【3】We can infer from the story that _________.
A.The man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like him
B.The man still had the opportunity to chose the right way
C.both the man’s parents passed away when he was young
D.the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death
【4】The passage is mainly written for _________.
