21、Read the following two blogs and answer the questions that follow.

Our buses drive me to distraction

I’ve had it up to here with buses! To be more precise, I am sick to death of the service offered by our local bus company and which dares to call itself Reliabus—a misnomer if ever there was one, since its exhaust-fume-coughing, atmosphere-choking buses are anything but reliable. Nine times out of ten they arrive late, and when they do eventually turn up, there’s no guarantee you’ll get on. I’ve lost count of the times I have watched as a full-to-bursting number 26—which I try to catch home from college—sails past the bus stop (another misnomer), leaving weary travellers like myself to wait for at least another 20 minutes until the next one comes along. Unless of course that’s full as well, in which case we have to wait even longer. Why don’t they lay on more buses!

It annoys me to think that they are turning people away from travelling by public transport, encouraging them to use their cars and causing traffic jams in our already heavily congested town centre. I wrote them an email and gave them a piece of my mind. If you’re as fed up as I am, why not do the same? They might just sit up and take notice.

Leave me alone!

If there’s one thing that gets on my nerves, it’s people who keep trying to sell me things I don’t want. It drives me mad when I’m in the middle of my dinner or watching a film and some smooth-talking idiot phones up and asks me if I’m interested in new kitchen units, a subscription to a book club or a superfast internet connection. No, I’m not, thank you very much, and if I was, I’d get in touch with you! I very nearly burnt the house down the other day answering one of their ridiculous calls. I forgot I’d left something frying in the kitchen—just got back to the blackened remains in time.

It’s even worse outside of the home—sometimes you can’t move for people handing out fliers in the street, advertising computer classes or urging you to buy this, that or the other. They push one into your face, and if you don’t take it, they give you a nasty look and you can hear them swearing and muttering under their breath about you as you walk away. Not nice at all.

【1】Both the two blogs are meant to .

A．address a problem

B．ask for sympathy

C．make a complaint

D．clarify a misunderstanding

【2】By “another misnomer” (paragraph 1), the blogger actually means .

A．the bus seldom stops there

B．20 minutes’ wait is too long

C．she is often too late to catch the bus

D．public transport is not a good choice

【3】What annoys the blogger according to the second blog?

A．The bad quality of kitchen appliances.

B．The endless phone calls to sell something.

C．The terrible experiences of cooking for the family.

D．The attitudes that her colleagues have towards her.

22、   Campeche is a city with a tumultuous history. Originally this area was settled by the Mayans. The first Spanish colonizers arrived in 1517 and established Campeche as the main port in the region. Unsurprisingly, this made Campeche an attractive target for pirates who first arrived in the late 16 century. For the next 200 years, Campeche was frequently attacked. Nevertheless, it is a delightful city and filled with interesting things to do.

Explore the old city of Campeche

There are a lot of beautiful restored old towns in Mexico, but Campeche is one of the nicest, cleanest and most elegant. The Campeche neighborhood is lovely and colorful, with neat sidewalks and smoothly laid out roads!

Wander along the Campeche Malecon

One of the nicest things about Campeche is its waterfront setting. The best way to enjoy that? Wandering along the malecon, or the walkway along the waterfront, just before sunset. This is the time when it cools down and everyone comes out to see things and to be seen. You'll see couples posing for photographers, joggers, cyclists, elderly people having conversations and groups of teenagers giggling.

Stop for a Bite at Calle 59

Calle 59 is a pedestrian-only street filled with outdoor tables from the surrounding restaurants. You can cat here at night, but a lot of people come for drinks. This is the one place in Campeche that feels touristy—its tables are filled with giant beers that get shared among multiple peoples.

【1】Which of the following sentence can best describe Campeche?

A．Campeche has a large population.

B．Campeche is a city with mixed heritage.

C．Campeche has experienced years of civil war.

D．Campeche once appealed to pirates for its culture.

【2】What's the best thing for visitors to do before sunset?

A．Having a nice walk along the malecon.

B．Enjoying the atmosphere of Campeche.

C．Drinking beers in the restaurants.

D．Taking some pictures of the sunset.

【3】If you want to sense the touristy atmosphere the best choice is_____________.

A．Mexico.

B．Calle 59.

C．The Campeche neighborhood.

D．The Campeche Malecon.

23、Winemaker Justin Jarrett remembers when the grape harvest used to start. He and his wife Pip, used to take their kids on an annual beach holiday in February. When they returned to their vineyards (葡萄园) in the regional New South Wales city of Orange, Australia, in early autumn, they’d start the harvest. Today, harvest starts six weeks earlier in January.

“What we did 20 years ago can’t work today, ”Jarrett says. “You have to adjust. ”

Scientists used to have big debates about how to talk to farmers about climate change, says Snow Barlow, a professor specialising in viticulture at the University of Melboume. But recently there’s been a sea change. “Farmers are now saying. This is serious and we want to get on with doing things, ” he says.

“Wine is a classical industry that has been very influenced by climate, ” Barlow says. “You grow grapes in particular areas because you think it’s the ideal place to grow a particular grape to create the perfect wine. ”

Rising temperatures are not just affecting harvest times, but also the types of grapes that grow well in particular areas. Major labels, such as Brown Brothers, have moved some of their operations to the southern state of Tasmania where there are cooler sites for varieties such as chardonnay and pinot noir. Others are changing their varietal mix, introducing grapes from southern Italy, Sicily and Greece that are more heat- tolerant.

The Jarretts have spent years adapting their winemaking business for a warmer world. They’ve invested in infrastructure, help them manage the compressed (缩短的) harvest time, and introduced more sustainable soil and pest (害虫) management practices.

Jarrett is growing their grape varieties at higher elevations (海拔高度) than he used to. Sauvignon blanc, for instance, which he used to grow at 700m, has been moved up to 900m. He thinks he can keep moving his operations up to about 1100m before he has to buy more land.

“We have to have a 20-year plan. If we’re going to move a variety or change something, we have to have at least 20 years of success to make it worthwhile,” Jarrett says. “We are really looking at varieties that are now considered hot climate. ”

【1】What do the Jarretts have to adjust to?

A．Their holiday plan.

B．Their neighborhood.

C．The identity as winemakers.

D．The earlier grape harvest.

【2】What can we learn from Snow Barlow’s words?

A．Scientists were divided over climate change.

B．Warm climate has caused a change in the sea.

C．Wine industry is particular about grape suppliers.

D．Farmers are aware of the gravity of climate change.

【3】How are the Jaretts coping with the impact on their winemaking?

A．By putting off the harvest time.

B．By introducing heat- tolerant grapes.

C．By planting grapes at higher elevations.

D．By moving their operations to a new land.

【4】What is Jarett’s opinion of the alternative approaches to the challenge?

A．Great minds think alike.

B．It is rewarding to try new things.

C．It is better to play safe than take risks.

D．One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

24、Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.

Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.

Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative（创新的） plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”

Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.

Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.

“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”

SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”

【1】How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?

A. By offering morning teas.   B. By giving advice to them.

C. By communication with them.   D. By providing accommodation to them.

【2】What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?

A. Saving animals.   B. Helping newcomers.

C. Making more friends.   D. Expanding her business.

【3】What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?

A. To be left alone.   B. To struggle for a living.

C. To be invited to dinner.   D. To feel part of the community.

【4】What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?
