21、   You may have come across several “strange” cultural practices; some would grip you with fear, while others would leave you astonished. The wife-carrying competition in Finland falls into the latter category.

Strange as it might sound, wife-carrying is a real sport in Finland. In fact, it is a highly competitive sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a female teammate. The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The length of the official track is 253.5 metres with two dry obstacles (障碍) and a water obstacle about one metre deep.

The first modern-day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1992 and foreign competitors gained admission in 1995. This event is now held annually in Sonkajärvi, Finland as the World Championship.

Although many might consider the sport a joke, competitors take it very seriously. Like every serious sport, the wife-carrying competition also has its guidelines which are set by the International Wife-Carrying Competition Rules Committee. While the International rules are the basis for all competitions, rules and prizes do vary for each competition.

It is not mandatory that you must be legally married to the “wife” to be carried, she may even be your neighbour’s wife or even someone you met during the competition; she must, however, be over 17 years of age. And her minimum weight must be 49 kilograms; otherwise, she will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg. All participants must enjoy themselves. Yes, that is also one of the rules.

Special prizes go to the most entertaining couple, the best costume, and the strongest carrier. And for the grand prize, the wife’s weight in beer goes to the couple who completes the course in the shortest time. Whether you win or lose, the good thing is the sport encourages team spirit among couples.

【1】Which can’t be used to describe the wife-carrying competition?

A.Fearful. B.Astonishing.

C.Competitive. D.Serious.

【2】What is true about the competition?

A.The first event was in 1992.

B.The rules are flexible for each competition.

C.The official track is 253.5 metres long and 1 metre deep.

D.By no means can wives weighing less than 49 kg participate in it.

【3】What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 5 mean?

A.Important. B.Necessary.

C.Strange. D.Possible.

22、   The story of a voyage bearing witness to plastic pollution in the oceans,Junk Raft(筏子），based on facts,is an exciting,thought-provoking book.Science educator and researcher Marcus Eriksen's navigational feat(航海壮举）is holding readers' attention and interest--88 days crossing some 4,000 kilometers of open ocean,on a raft made of 15,000 plastic bottles wrapped in fishing nets.But it is more. Two equally fascinating storylines are made up through the written records of a series of events: Eriksen's evolution from soldier to research director of the environmental non-profit 5 Gyres Institute, and the journey we all need to take towards a more sustainable use of plastics.

Around 15%of all the litter in our oceans in plastic,and a calculated 5 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the seas annually.Unavoidably,it is now present at the sea surface and on shorelines,in Arctic seas and on the sea bed at depths of 3,500 metres.Around 700 sea species are known to come into contact with pieces of waste plastic material-and can be harmed or killed by taking in it or becoming twisted and caught in it.There are also concerns about plastics accumulating in commercially important species of fish and shellfish.The waters and shores of Hawaii are particularly heavily pottuted, giving a rationale(理由）for Eriksen's destination.

This environmental challenge has attracted increasing scientific,media and societal attention in recent years.  yet few accounts have conveyed the/wider picture accessibly Junk Raft does just this---while exposing our frustratingly slow progress on a issue of major importance to fisheries, tourism and,finally,the health of the world's oceans.

Eriksen lists the issues associated with the accumulation of sea plastic:the causes,consequences and potential solutions.Our single-use culture is the main offender.For more than 60 years,society and industry have been producing more and more throwaway items particularly packaging.Some solutions lie in better acquisition of materials at the end of their lives,in a circular economy.

Eriksen takes the crisis into consideration together with a timeline of scientific discovery and advancement since the 1970s.Alongside this he gives a very personal,somewhat North American,view the troubles of industry and policy involvement the side plots and blind alleys,and the tactics(战术） of avoidance and disturbance he has so often experienced.There are parallels,he shows,with the troubles that faced those who fought to raise awareness around the health impacts of smoking.

Throughout,we are regularly brought back to the realities of life aboard the raft,with Eriksen's fellow sailor Joel Paschal.This is both fascinating and eventful,from their slow,occasionally very dangerous progress to the moments when it seems the raft will break up into pieces,littering the ocean with the waste material Eriksen is trying so hard to fight against.Eriksen's wider journey also takes him onto dry land,where he touches on the accumulation of land plastic.He learns about the consumption of plastic bags by camels-a serious issue in some desert countries.

It can be difficult to judge the direct impacts of projects such as Eriksen's,but he rightly notes the Importance of raising awareness of the risks of disposable plastic.Eriksen has also done much to emphasize the environmental consequences of polymer microbeads(聚合物微粒）in the US Great Lakes, providing key evidence that led to the introduction of a law.

Junk Raft is filled with adventure,romance,a sense of optimism and important truths that will be needed by the thousands of groups.It serves as a reflection of the choices and journeys that each of us makes and helps us understand how plastic in the oceans is closely connected with the future of human life.

【1】What makes the book Junk Raft attractive to readers?

A.The appeal for global environmental protection.

B.Efforts made to put an end to the use of plastics.

【4】What is the main reason for sea plastic pollution?

25、   I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the __: it’s basically soapy water with a plastic loop on each end. You dip the loop in the bottle, pull it out, and blow it to make bubbles. My son understood the principle but was __ trying to blow bubbles. He __ dip and dip and blow and blow, but alas, no bubbles. He __ me the bottle and loop and asked me, “Daddy, can you make bubbles?”

I hadn’t blown bubbles in years. I am a __ by education, fairly well-trained in surfactant(活性剂) technology. I have __ several shampoos, so I understand surface tension and related foaming(发泡沫)characteristics of surfactants. All that knowledge is __ useless when trying to blow bubbles from a loop __ with soapy water. I was having no __ success than my son. I dipped and puffed, still no bubbles; the soapy film on the loop would just pop without __ any bubbles.

After several fruitless __,1 changed strategies. __ puffing on the loop of soapy water, I gently __ on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubble formed and __ away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I __ to him, “Son, you can’t blow hard. You must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles.” He contained his urgent __ to make big bubbles by blowing hard and __ my advice. Big bubbles.

There are some things that you can get with __ force, but other things like love or respect only __ the gentleness of a soft breath. The __ something is to higher spirit, the more it is like bubbles; it can't be forced. Blow beautiful bubbles; breathe easy.
