21、Escape to a New Life— Everyone’s Dream?
A TV series in Wales has become a heated issue by becoming the number one choice for teenagers to watch.
The main character is a young farmer and the series is about country life, making the popularity of the series all the more surprising. The series is calm and relaxing and really the opposite to city life. Escape to a New Life describes the Welsh countryside as a beautiful and peaceful place and its people as very caring and happy.
The series director believes that this is what young people want today. She says the success of the series is because teenagers want a happier and healthier life away from the pressures of deadlines and exams. She figures this series offers a form of escape from their fast and stressful lives.
Despite this, many parents and teachers are worried about the effect this is having on young people. Parents report that their children are just watching this series and neglecting everything else, using Escape to a New Life as an excuse for not completing homework, or refusing to revise for exams, citing a need for a happier and less stressful life.
One father, Paul McGregor, said his daughter Charlotte had changed a lot. He said, “She used to be in the school athletics team and loved the javelin, but now she only wants to watch the TV series and has been dropped from the team. She no longer completes her homework saying it doesn’t matter as she just wants to ‘escape to a new life’”.
Paediatrician, Dr. Elisa Carhart who specialises in child mental health, says that TV can influence young people’s decisions in life, but believes that if a young person reacts as strongly as Charlotte, it’s likely there are other reasons for the change in her behaviour.

A.Unfavorable.
B.Supportive.
C.Unclear.
D.Forgiving.
【4】What can we learn from Dr. Elisa Carhart’s words?
A.One should not jump in with both feet.

22、People have a lot of habits in their life which are unhealthy. 【1】 It can cause a lot of damage to the body of people. The following ways are very simple and easy for people to control their overeating habits.
Keep yourself away from distractions. Distractions such as junk and unhealthy foods are the things that stop people from keeping healthy and fit. 【2】 Otherwise, you will gain weight.
【3】 Apart from getting distracted, another thing that people usually do is to choose their favorite and many unhealthy foods rather than choosing the healthy ones. This gets in a very wrong way for them. So people start becoming unhealthy and their obesity rapidly increases.
For the same reason, a person should have control over their diet and mostly their favorite junk food. 【4】 Therefore, people should start slowly quitting their favorite foods and choose to replace them with some healthy foods so that their obesity conditions reduce greatly and they become healthier and fitter with each passing day.
Stop eating directly from packets. Many people have a habit of eating outside food from the packets themselves. These packets show that the quantity of food is very little, but actually, it is very huge. That is why when people eat food from packets, they don't get the idea that they have started overeating their food. 【5】
With all the above ways, people will reduce their overeating and can get something very healthy for themselves for sure.
A.One of them is overeating.
B.They are harmful to others.
C.However, this should be done slowly.
D.Give up some food you like best one by one.
E.You should do exercise as quickly as possible.
F.That is why people should stay away from them.

23、Nations in the UN have agreed that the world needs to completely stop plastic waste from entering the oceans. The UN resolution(决议) has no timetable. But ministers at an environment summit believe it will set the course for much tougher policies and send a clear signal to business.
Under the resolution, governments would establish an international task force(特遣小组) to advise on fighting what the UN's oceans chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses on the global task force. Ministers say the problem will not be solved without business, but green groups point out that some firms in the plastics industry have been against restrictions for decades. Vidar Helgesen, a leading voice in the talks, told BBC News, “Business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter(海洋垃圾) is a growing popular concern. It's possibly the fastest-growing environmental problem and it's therefore a fast-growing problem for business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things, and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.”
Certainly, there has been resistance from plastics firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in some countries were being paid by the plastics industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labour-intensive basketwork, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and the meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring tougher action against single-use plastic bags.
The UN's spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meeting's made real progress. There's now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue that we haven't quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN can't solve this problem on its own. We need to do it in partnership with governments, businesses and even individuals.”
【1】What can we know about the UN resolution on plastic waste?
A. Plastic waste should be banned on land too.
B. Plastic waste should be recycled by business.
C. The UN made exact time to stop it entering oceans.
D. The UN may make stricter policies in the future.
【2】What can we infer from what Vidar Helgesen said?
A. Business doesn't see the problem of marine litter.
B. Fastest-growing marine litter is a new problem.
C. Governments should force companies to act by policy.
D. Most companies want to stop marine life from disappearing.
【3】Why did some companies pay journalists to write articles about job losses?
A. To express their satisfaction with governments.
B. To struggle against the strict plastic bag ban.
C. To show difficulties in labour-intensive basketwork.
D. To make governments stand firm against plastic bags.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. The UN is committed to handling ocean plastic waste
B. The UN tries to protect the marine life
C. We should solve the plastic waste problem
D. We should ban plastic waste completely
24、The Okapi Wildlife Reserve, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to one-sixth of the remaining wild okapi in the world. It protects many other wildlife species as well as one-fifth of the Ituri forest. But despite its status, the reserve is under threat from human activities.
Mining, deforestation (森林破坏), and illegal hunting are all threatening the reserve, and criminals have murdered several people, including forest guards, since 2012. Forest loss is expanding rapidly. In 2020, the most deforestation in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve since records began in 2002 was recorded via satellite data. Since 2002, the area has lost about 7% of its total forest cover. Most recently, satellite data shows deforestation along the Ituri River in late 2021, likely from illegal gold mining.
“Miners are actually eating the reserve out of its wildlife by hunting animals for food. There is almost no wildlife left around the mine itself, and wildlife numbers are greatly reduced around mining towns,” said John Lukas, co-founder of the Okapi Conservation Project.
Protecting the reserve is important for the endangered okapi and other wildlife that call the region home, but preserving the area’s forests is of particular significance in dealing with climate change.
“The forests of Congo, more than forests in the Amazon and in Asia, store carbon even in times of drought and rising temperatures,” explained Lukas. “Preserving the forests not only provides habitats for okapi, elephants and chimpanzees but gives humans time to adjust our source of energy to be more sustainable and carbon neutral (碳中和). Hopefully the Western world will financially support the countries of the Congo basin to value their forests as sources of life and not just a kind of goods to be sold.”
【1】What happened to the forests in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve?
A.Forest guards hunting.
B.Mining via satellites.
C.About 7% forest loss in 21 years.
D.One-fifth of wild animals leaving.
【2】Why has so much wildlife disappeared around the mines?
A.Because of being killed for food.
B.Because of the high temperature.
C.Because of no habitat.
D.Because of the deadly diseases.
【3】Why is it particularly important to protect the forests in the reserve?
A.Gold mines are in the forests.
B.The forests affect climate.
C.The forests are home to wild species.
D.A good life can be led by selling trees.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the text?
A.Current situation of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
B.Gold mines found in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
C.Protecting the wildlife in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
D.Endangered Okapi reserve threatened by human activities
