24、When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.

Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called allkpop.com. On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.

I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. “But if they could do it, I could do that too,” I thought.

【1】What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?

A. Her Korean origin.   B. A new style of dance.

C. Her friends’ influence.   D. The popularity of Gee.

【2】The underlined word ＂ditch＂ in Paragraph 1 probably means ＂________＂.

A. forget   B. attend   C. ignore   D. hate

【3】What do we know about the author’s mother?

A. She has no interest in music.   B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.

C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.   D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.

【4】After visiting allkpop.com, the author ________.

A. dreamed of becoming a pop singer   B. called the manager of the news site

C. contacted people who had auditioned   D. knew she would never become a singer

25、Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.

These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.

In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic (经济的)success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.

Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.

【1】From the text, we know that ________.

A．the first Chinese in Chinatown were mainly from Hong Kong

B．many factory workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs in the 1950s

C．there were many restaurants in the middle of England in the 1950s

【2】It seemed easier for people from Hong Kong to find jobs ________ in the 1950s.

A．in hospitals

B．in churches

C．in restaurants

【3】The restaurant workers didn’t learn English because they ________.

A．didn’t have time

B．couldn’t pay for the course

C．found it too difficult

【4】When did British-born Chinese start to have a better education?

A．At the beginning of the 1990s.

B．When the Chinese community was born.

C．Twenty to thirty years later after their parents’ arrival.

【5】What is the main idea of this text?

A．To introduce the history of Chinatown in London.

B．To introduce some popular Chinese restaurants in London.

C．To tell us the reason why people in Hong Kong moved to London.

26、   When your pen is broken, you think that’s the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.

Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. “If you’re like most of us, most Americans, you’re making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day,” US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.

If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.

Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting campaign. They divide trash into “recyclable waste” and “unrecyclable waste”. So in Yiwu there are many “Little Yellow Dog” appearing all around the city, even in our campus.

Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.

But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. “The best thing to do is just to keep using your stuff for as long as you can,” US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.

【1】How much trash does each American make every year on average?

A. 7 kg B. 3.17kg C. 102 tons D. over 1 ton

【2】According to the story, how should we deal with broken pens?

A. Throw them away. B. Bury them in a landfill.

C. Put them into a recycling bin. D. Give them to our friend.

【3】Waste should be recycled because this can ___.

  a. save energy  b. produce greenhouse gas  c. save landfill space  d. save water

A. ab B. bc C. ad  D. ac

【4】What is the best way to reduce waste？

A. Recycle different kinds of waste.

B. Keep using your things as long as you can.

C. Keep waste inside your house.

D. Tell people about the importance of recycling.

27、   English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there’s tea, there’s hope.” Similarly, a Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.”

Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German website for statistics(数据）, global tea production reached about 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage(饮品） in the world – after water, of course.

According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s identity. Making Malaysia’s pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects.

Apart from its cultural significance（意义）, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US.

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it’s a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life. (改编自 21 世纪英语网站）
