21、The British have long been known for their love of tea, but people in London also drink a lot of coffee. In fact, the average Londoner reportedly drinks 2.3 cups of coffee every day.

And now, waste coffee grounds (咖啡渣) will be used to help fuel part of the city’s transportation system.

A technology company announced on Monday that some buses will be using a biofuel (生物燃料) that contains coffee oil.

The company, bio-bean, and its partner, Argent Energy, say they have made enough coffee oil to power one of London’s famous double-decker buses for a year.

The announcement made bio-bean a trending story on social media.

The government agency Transport for London has been turning to biofuels to cut production of carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are the gas produced by the burning of carbon, and the gas is released into the atmosphere.

London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, said last month that his city has a “health crisis ... caused directly by poor-quality air”. The government has taken steps to discourage people from driving cars that do not meet European Union emissions requirements.

bio-bean said Londoners produce over 200, 000 tons of waste coffee grounds a year. The company said it collects waste grounds from chain coffee shops and factories. The grounds are dried and processed to remove coffee oil.

“It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to reimagine waste as an untapped resource,” said one of bio-bean founders Arthur Kay. The coffee fuel technology has been receiving support from the oil company Royal Dutch Shell plc.

【1】The main reason why some buses use biofuels is ______.

A．to show the Londoners prefer coffee to tea

B．to improve the speed of the bus in London

C．to lower carbon emissions

D．to encourage people to go to work by bus

【2】Where do the waste coffee grounds come from?

A．The city’s transportation system.

B．The European Union.

C．Royal Dutch Shell pic.

D．Chain coffee shops and factories.

【3】What does the underlined word “untapped” mean in the last paragraph?

A．undeveloped

B．unforgotten

C．explored

D．abandoned

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．Coffee Grounds to Help Power London’s Buses

B．The Use of Coffee

C．Coffee Culture in London

D．A New Way of Using a Biofuel

22、Weird. That was how Kelvin felt when he signed a prenuptial agreement years ago with his then girlfriend. According to the agreement, the ownership of the house would go to the wife if the couple divorced, because the wife’s parents had paid the down payment for the house.

In China, most people are unwilling to sign a prenuptial agreement, commonly known as “prenups”. But overseas Chinese are showing a different attitude. According to a recent survey, 70 percent of overseas Chinese participants, mainly living in the US, said it is necessary to sign prenups before tying the knot. The survey covering 1,084 people was conducted by a Los Angeles-based dating company “2RedBeans” through the company’s mobile app.

“It shows that the attitude of overseas Chinese toward marriage has been influenced by Western values over the past decade,” said a co-founder of 2RedBeans. In China, more often than not, a prenup is considered to indicate distrust between a couple and the lack of faith in marriage.

US family law attorneys, however, say that prenups have many advantages, from protecting the assets (资产) brought into the marriage by one party to saving the other party from debt. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary from state to state in the US. “So if you get married without drawing up your own terms and conditions, you are by default (默认) submitting to your state’s law,” Kelly Rickert who has gained popularity for sharing family court stories said in a TikTok video. “Prenups are especially important in a community property state such as California, where all assets and debts acquired after marriage shall be shared by both parties,” she said.

One of her recent clients was lucky to have a prenup which allowed her to keep her property separate from the debt of her late husband, who had run up “astronomical” amounts of medical bills before he died of COVID-19. “Had they not had a prenup stating that the debt be attributed to the party who acquired it, the medical debt would have been shared and she would have had to pay it.” Rickert said.

This might be one of the reasons why many overseas Chinese are attaching importance to prenups. Overseas Chinese living in North America are generally high-income earners and come from middle-class families, so they more easily accept prenups, especially those under 30 years old, who are more likely to value financial independence and consider prenups necessary.

【1】What do we know about the survey?

A．The company TikTok carried out the survey.

B．One thousand people were surveyed through WeChat.

C．It was conducted among Chinese people living in the US.

D．Most people surveyed hold a favorable attitude towards prenups.

【2】What may be the attitude of most people in China towards prenups?

A．Favorable.

B．Neutral.

C．Disapproving.

D．Doubtful.

【3】Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 5?

A．To prove the importance of prenups.

B．To call for people’s attention to prenups.

C．To illustrate the damage caused by COVID- 19.

D．To demonstrate what will happen.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．A Trend Among Chinese

B．The Pros and Cons of Prenups

C．Overseas Chinese Value Prenups

D．Different Attitudes Toward Marriage

23、As you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun. Learning to speak a second language opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.

It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options. There are some reasons for this, including many students’ opinion that languages are difficult. Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.

Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.”

Some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue. Cassandra Scott, from Edinburgh, studied three languages in her final year at school. She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”

【1】How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languages?

A．By offering background information.

B．By giving specific examples.

C．By analyzing underlying reasons.

D．By showing personal research.

【2】What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Developed rapidly.

B．Pushed quickly.

C．Changed completely.

D．Maintained properly.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.

B．Learning languages at school may contribute to one’s future career.

C．Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.

D．With the translation technology, there’s no need to learn foreign languages.

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To criticize people’s ignorance of foreign languages.

B．To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.

C．To state the result of dropping learning foreign languages.

D．To raise people’s awareness of protecting native languages.

24、How to Remember What You Read

Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read! 【1】 You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images (形象) may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.

●Are you confused?

If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. 【2】 If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.

●【3】

Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. But other books require a bit more work on your part. How willing are you to make the connections happen?

● Read it; hear it; be it!

Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He’d make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character. 【4】

● How often do you read?

If you read frequently, you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading and what you’ve read. 【5】 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you’ll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature- as you remember what you read!
