22、Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS to1d them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．
As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However，being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped m two metres of water —to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．
Yuzu Noda，21，said she was listening to the GPS and“it told us we could drive down there．It kept saying it would navigate(导航)US to a road．But we got stuck…there's lots of mud”．She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki，22，and Keita Osada，21,instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car，though—after assessing the situation，no attempt was made to recover it．The students from Tokyo，who are due to return home tomorrow，said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. Mr·Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny．”

23、Wheat and corn are used to make bread, pizza and other delicious foods, but in a few years they could also power your car. Renewable biofuels could soon replace the harmful fossil fuels that we’re used to using. It’s now well established that fossil fuels are incredibly harmful to our health and the environment and they’re not renewable, either. When so many people rely on petrol and diesel (柴油) to power vehicles, it makes sense to develop a renewable alternative that’s easy to use.
That’s where biofuel comes in. The most common biofuel produced globally is ethanol (乙醇), and it’s used frequently in Brazil and the US, while biodiesel is more popular in Europe. However, first-generation biofuels like ethanol have got issues that need fixing before they can go mainstream. It curently takes more ethanol than gasoline to produce the same amount of energy, for instance. Production is expensive, and several parts of the process sometimes use fossil fuels, which means that some biofuels aren’t actually carbon-free.
Some environmental campaigners also say that it would be more useful to grow crops for food rather than biofuel, and that growing crops for biofuel can cause problems with soil loss and deforestation. Using land for fuel rather than food can lead to an increase in food prices, too, and can affect natural habitats.
Crop and fat-based biofunels may not be perfect, but those aren’t the only biofuels available. Some organisations are creating biofuels with algae (海藻) instead. This process uses water and land that often isn’t suitable for many other situations, so it doesn’t take up space that’s useful for food production, and it often has better yields (产量) than other types of biofuel components.
There’s plenty of development beyond algae, too. Some companies even use seaweed. Scientists are also working on plans that will be able to abstract biofuels from household waste, wood chips and other junk — a move that could massively increase the material that’s viable for biofuel production. These second-generation biofuels could make biofuel far cheaper and more accessible, and help cut emissions down.
【1】Why are biofuels supposed to replace fossil fuels?
A．Fossil fuels are difcult to produce.
B．Fossil fuels are harmful to vehicles.
C．Biofuels are economical and attainable.
D．Biofuels are eco-friendly and sustainable.
【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The potential of gasoline.
B．The advantages of biofuels.
C．The popularity of ethanol in Europe.
D．The problems with first-generation biofuels.
【3】Why is algae used to create biofuels by some organisations?
A．It can reduce soil loss.
B．It is often more productive.
C．It occupies no land to grow.
D．It helps to lower food prices.
【4】What does the underlined word “viable” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Stable.
B．Durable.
C．Workable.
D．Flexible
24、That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year -old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets -- basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers- by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
【1】What's the aim of Meena's reading program?
A．To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
B．To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C．To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D．To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
【2】What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A．She offered some rewards to them.
B．She provided them with transportation.
C．She chose novels with beautiful covers.
D．She selected books covering every category.
【3】Which words can best describe Meena's libraries?
A．Small and useless.
B．Influential and meaningful.
C．Large but impractical.
D．Widespread but unwelcome.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Books: Sources of Knowledge
B．The Roadside Reading Corner
C．The Library: a Paradise for the Young
D．New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
