21、Bicycles in China

Bicycles are back to our lives in China. Now in our country you can see many yellow bicycles in public places. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.

Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.

However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others’ safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem.

【1】“The kingdom of bicycles” here is saying _________.

A．China has a large number of bicycles

22、Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬、啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people’s land.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

【1】Which of the following best explains “boosting” in Paragraph 1?

A．building

【2】Why did the government want a trial first? Because they wanted to _________.

A．grow more plants along the river

B．build dams for the beavers in the wild

C．introduce the beavers to the wild

D．see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild

【3】What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A．They help plants grow and make flooding less.

B．They bring heavy rain and floods.

C．They gnaw on trees and harm them.

D．Their dams create floods on people’s land.

【4】How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news which have been reintroduced to the wild?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【5】How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Pleased.

C．Tired.

D．Disappointed.

23、The Internet, mobile phones and iPads are parts of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning (克隆) humans.

24、C

One morning on my way to school, I had just seated myself on the bus when suddenly a few peasant-workers got on the bus with big bags, they rushed and shouted to seek the empty seats. One of them just sat next to me, putting his bag on the ground of the bus. The dirty bag touched my new white shoes. I stood up at once and kept me away from those peasant-workers and their big bags.

After class I told my unpleasant experience to my friends, they almost held the same feeling that even in the streets they would keep away from those peasant-workers and their big bags. Then some of us raised a question why they always carried big bags over their shoulders while a little amount of money could buy many cheap things that they needed.

What on earth were there in their big bags? We could only keep our curiosity but had no chance to see inside.

Then one day a chance came when I passed a building site with my friends after school, we saw a group of peasant -workers rushed out the half -finished building to a small bus, they all carried big bags as usual. Suddenly, an old peasant -worker fell on the ground. His bag flew off and hit the ground. The bag broke due to its weight and poor quality, and what were inside the bag separated everywhere. The sight drew the passengers’ attention at once especially ours. We gathered over to see the incident, regardless of the embarrass feeling of the old man.

The poor old man caught a big colorful sharpener（卷笔刀）the first time and sat on the ground, his legs were too weak to support his body because he had fallen down heavily, but he cleaned the sharpener carefully with his clothes, checking whether there was something wrong with it. It was clear that the beautiful sharpener was bought for his grandchild. We were a little moved and we couldn’t help picking up other things on the ground for the old man. A few clothes caught our eyes. They had been washed clean and folded neatly though they were a little old. We quickly gathered all his belongs and took them to the small bus with him.

On our way back, I suddenly imaged the scene when the old peasant-worker got home, his family rushed out to welcome him. Now it is clear what’s in the peasants’ big bags. They carry the worry, miss and warmth out but bring the great hope back.

【1】How did the writer feel when he stood up on the bus?

A. unhappy B. satisfied C. interested D. worried

【2】Why did the old man catch the sharpener first?

A. Because it was the most expensive. B. Because it was very close to him.

C. Because there was something wrong with it. D. Because it was a present for his family.

【3】The peasant-workers always carried big bags with them because ______________.

A. they had no time to buy things

B. they liked the things from their home

C. they wanted to save as much money as possible

D. the bags were big enough to carry all the things

【4】We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends________.

A. had pity on the peasant-workers from the beginning

B. understood what the bags really meant to the peasant-workers

C. still looked down on the peasant-workers

D. gathered over in order to help the old man
