21、TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to be held but without spectators. With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it to cancel the event.

Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented since they were postponed last year. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus in some places in Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new groups of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus' global transmission.

Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games according to the schedule. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.

Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question its ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will arrive in Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.

It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That will endow the games with special meaning beyond sports.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The virus’ global transmission.

B．People’s worry about the infections.

C．The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.

D．The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.

【2】How do 34% of Japanese people like holding the games according to the schedule?

A．Uncertain.

B．Negative.

C．Approving.

D．Indifferent.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?

A．Compare.

B．Start.

C．Provide.

D．Charge.

【4】What can be the best title for the news report?

A．Japan to ensure Olympics go ahead

B．Olympics big test for Japanese government

C．Japanese people’s enthusiasm for Olympics

D．Japan’s strict epidemic prevention during Olympics

23、“What is civilization?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the influential BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).

It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.

It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself.

This visual age has given beauty new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon (万神殿) of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid— and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started, videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.

Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that arched (拱形的) ceiling without wondering at the collective genius of the thousands of unknown craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate in its hand-made detail. Its survival through 850 years of political unrest—through war, revolution and Nazi occupation—binds the present to the past.

【1】The BBC series in the first paragraph is mentioned to show ________.

A．Notre Dame is a typical example of civilization

B．civilization is supposed to be defined in abstract terms

C．civilization was founded in the past and lasts for decades

D．it’s cruel to care more about buildings than about people

【2】Notre Dame fire has aroused worldwide concerns because ________.

A．the disaster coincided with the floods in southern Africa

B．people has lost a historical landmark to take a selfie and rest

C．France’s economic prosperity has made it a must-see place for visitors

D．cultural globalization has bred a common sense of cultural identity

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．People’s sadness at the misfortune mainly lies in the building itself.

B．People wondered who contributed to such an artistic achievement.

C．Notre Dame is a witness to Nazi invasion and French revolution.

D．Fortunately we are blessed with countless splendid works of art.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Notre Dame: The Architectural Treasure

B．Notre Dame: The Humanistic Expression

C．Notre Dame: A Victim To Natural Disaster

D．Notre Dame: A Must-be Tourist Attraction

24、Culture shock is the feeling of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that people may get when they live in or visit another country that differs from their own. 【1】 It can undoubtedly affect people’s lives. The following are some ways to deal with culture shock.

Have a good understanding of culture and culture shock. There are many factors that make up a culture, including shared beliefs, traditions and morals.【2】 It’s because they are surrounded by people with the same beliefs and values, and cultural differences are only clear when you meet someone else’s culture.

Keep a journal(日记) of your thoughts.【3】And you are feeling a bit overwhelmed (不知所措的) with the culture there. Rather than giving in to your anxiety, write it out. Write down how you felt at the moment and what troubled you or made you happy that day. You can also put something down if you’re missing anyone from your hometown. 【4】Don’t allow yourself to become a recluse (隐居者) during this experience. You can share your feelings and experiences with your relatives and friends. If you are studying abroad and have other classmates who have similar feelings, connect with them as well as with those who are adjusting a bit more easily.

Do some things you usually like. Don’t allow the culture shock to occupy your mind. And try to do something interesting to replace a range of negative emotions, including anxiety, sadness, anger, homesickness, and sometimes even depression.【5】Or practice your hobbies like reading and dancing.
