21、If you look around, you may see girls wearing hanfu or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters（汉字）on the streets. A new trend（趋势）is coming in China—“Guochao”, or “China-chic”.

According to a recent report, searches connected with “Guochao” on Baidu have risen quite a lot since last year. China-chic is happening, but what is it?

22、

Franz was a famous composer (作曲家) who lived and worked in Vienna. He was born in 1797, the twelfth of his parents’ fourteen children. His father was the headmaster of a school. Franz’s father was his first music teacher. Later the organist (风琴手) of the church he attended taught him how to play the piano, organ and violin. He started schooling at the age of eleven and had daily music lessons in school. He spent so much time on his music that he neglected (忽略) the rest of the subjects. His father was unhappy as he did not want Franz to take up music as a career (事业). However, Franz did just that because of his love for music. Throughout his life, Franz never gave up his interest in music. Even when he was very sick, he was still composing. His last group of songs got the title “Swan-Song” after his death.

23、The idea of “time banks” was created by Yale University Professor Edgar Cahn in 1980 as a way to encourage volunteerism (志愿服务). It’s simple enough. People who volunteer to help others in their communities (社区) get “time dollars” or “time coins”—that can be exchanged (交换) in later life if they need help. It has taken effect in Britain, Japan, Sweden and other countries. And so, too, in China.

The idea of “time banks” was introduced in China in the 1990s, and Shanghai was one of its first users. However, being short of clear rules, volunteers and good management, the project finally failed. Recently, the idea has become popular once more because of China’s rapidly aging population.

The Chinese version mostly hopes to encourage younger senior people to provide services for the older ones. I’m happy to help them before I become too old to look after myself, said Yang Beifen, 68, a community volunteer in Shanghai. I’ve collected over 10 coins now, and it’s comforting to know that I can use them if I need to in the future.

The idea of “time banks” is one way to deal with the problem of an aging population. By the end of last year, there were more than 5.2 million people aged 60 or older in Shanghai. Of these people, about 30 percent were aged below 64 and 16 percent were over 80. Many young people are too busy to care for the elderly, so the elderly have to help each other. The Bank of China even developed a WeChat mini program to help the elderly.

However, the needs of the elderly are a great challenge for the city. There’s a long way to go.

【1】What do we know about the idea of “time banks”?

A．It’s popular only in Europe.

B．It was created by a Chinese teacher.

C．It’s kind of difficult to understand.

D．It’s a form of saving for the future.

【2】Which is NOT the reason for “time banks” failure in China in the 1990s?

A．The management was poor.

B．There were not clear rules.

C．People didn’t have much money at that time.

D．There were not enough people who would like to volunteer.

【3】What is Yang Beifen’s attitude towards the idea of “time banks”?

A．She is pleased with it.

B．She is worried about it.

C．She pays no attention to it.

D．She feels disappointed about it.

【4】According to the last two paragraphs, ________.

A．young people should help each other

B．more work should be done to help the elderly

C．the start of the WeChat mini program wasn’t easy

D．an aging population is a common problem around the world

【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce some volunteers.

B．To introduce the history of “time banks”.

C．To give facts about “time banks” in China.

D．To introduce “time banks” to more countries.

24、用适当的词完成下面的短文。每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。

Three hours passed. The professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. Instead, they looked 【5】. The professor asked, “How many of you 【6】 all five questions?”

But the class sat in 【7】 for a long time. The professor put down the papers. “I just want to tell you that 【8】 you have finished four years of college, there are still many things that you don’t know. The questions you could not answer are about things you will work with every day.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this 【9】, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education just begins.”

Not 【10】 remembers this professor’s name. But all of his students remember his final lesson.
