21、   My name is Jack. I’m a Chinese student living in the United States. When my family moved to America in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our bags, but also our village rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people should respect(尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫) in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. At one time, when I was serving food to an old couple(夫妇), the wife asked me how I could serve the food so quickly. I told her that I tried to get their food quickly because I respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and told me about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that cultural differences caused the problem, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to their seventies or eighties, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is too weak to work or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that respected the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they were not able to stay young. I told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more, I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

【1】After this experience in the Chinese restaurant, Jack ________.

A.no longer respected the elderly B.changed his way with older people

C.lost his job in the restaurant D.made friends with the couple

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.From this experience, Jack learnt more about American culture.

C.The manager went back to the table and said sorry to the couple.

D.Jack wanted to show his feeling through words after his experience.

【3】The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________ ”.

A.respecting people deeply B.taking nothing seriously

C.getting upset easily D.treating others nicely

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

A.To show that we should act differently with different people and culture.

B.To tell the readers that we should always follow rules of our hometown.

C.To introduce Americans and Chinese different ideas on “being old”.

D.To explain why most Americans don’t like to be called “old”.

22、

What will the weather be like? Some people say they can know what the weather will be like from birds. When they see birds fly high in the sky, they know it is a nice day. Because birds don’t like to fly out if it rains. When the weather is bad, the birds will come back to the beach. A big wind may come with a heavy rain. Birds do not like to fly in a strong wind. They may stay in a tree when the rain is coming. Other animals can also tell the weather. If it is a bad day, the chickens will be not quiet, and they will run everywhere.

23、   Pearl and June were good friends and spent most of their time together. They were both very old and they worried about their health. Most of the time they talked about nothing else. They worried about their food. Was it clean? Would it give them pains in the stomach? They worried about the weather. Was it too cold and wet? Would it give them pains in their bones? They worried about pollution in the air. Would it give them pains in their chests (胸部) and throats? They worried about being hurt in a car accident, killed in a plane crash(碰撞), getting sick, and so on. All they could think about was being ill or hurt.

One day they went on a train journey together.

“We’ll need some food,” Pearl said.

“We’ll buy some bananas,” June said. “They are good to eat and always clean.”

And so they bought two bananas to eat on the train. It was not long before they were hungry.

Pearl took out the bananas and gave one to June. Then she peeled the skin of her banana and took a large bite of it. At that moment the train went into atunnel (隧道).Everything went black.

24、What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.

First of all, it seems that people won’t use TV channels(频道) by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu”and a computer will send the program directly to the television.

Water will become a very serious problem. We’ll need much more water, but there won’t be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war(战争).

Cars will run on new, clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won’t be any accidents with the help of computers. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.

Robots will work in factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots－they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day…
