21、A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshiping South Korean actors Kin Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods(偶像). Chinese netizens（网民）always have different opinions. Over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China, And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.

You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs (继承者们) have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.

The two TV programs have several common elements：a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella-type stories.

The widening wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV drams describe. In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market’s demands.

Many netizens even said at an earlier time that South Korean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (模式化的) themes: traffic accidents, cancer and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs, which Chinese directors can use as examples, as well as inspiration, to improve their productions.

【1】What is the main reason for a new round of popularity in China?

A. The dramas are from the neighboring country North Korea.

B. Most of the Chinese netizens have voted for them.

C. The actors in the dramas are all gods.

D. It is because of You Who Came From The Star.

【2】Which is NOT included in the elements for the success of South Korean dramas?

A. Charming pure love stories.

B. A tender kiss and a warm hug.

C. Handsome and rich heroes.

D. The heroine’s blind love with the rich.

【3】 The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that they are designed to _______.

A. develop in a large scale

B. be measured to a certain size

C. meet popular taste purposely

D. be shown in a big market

【4】The main purpose of stereotyped themes in South Korean dramas is to________.

A. present an idea B. attract TV viewers

C. make them colorful  D. arouse some challenges

22、You’ve heard of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday—they’re major shopping days. Now there’s another shopping day, and it’s called Secondhand Sunday, which is the brainchild of Poshmark, a social commerce marketplace that enables users to buy and sell clothing online, mostly used.

Poshmark asked global research firm Morning Consult to assess the secondhand market. It found over 90% of American adults say they would be willing to receive a secondhand or resold gift this season, but that only 34% are likely to buy them for others. This suggests a massive opportunity to close the gap—a task that Poshmark has undertaken with enthusiasm. Thus, Secondhand Sunday was born.

Poshmark is a platform on which individual sellers run their own shops and make extra cash. Secondhand Sunday has become a hit among them. While sellers have varying motivations for doing business, most are driven by the belief that buying secondhand items is important for the environment.

One such seller is Ashley Wheeler. Her husband worked as a truck driver at a landfill (垃圾填埋) site. They were both shocked at the amount of secondhand items that were getting dumped (倾倒), just because they were considered old or useless. Even when her husband asked to bring home items that still had value, he was rejected, because companies had paid the landfill site to deal with their garbage.

Wheeler said, “For us, that was a wake-up call. We realized it wasn’t just about us bringing our pre-owned items back into the market but finding other used items that companies were ready to deal with and help recycle back into use. That’s when we started to learn about Goodwill Outlets and other similar stores, where we source a majority of items. She now buys cast-off items from Goodwill’s “last chance” bins and resells them on Secondhand Sunday.

Amber McCasland, vice-president of Global Brand and Communications, said, “Secondhand Sunday is our first joint effort to change how people shop and gift during the holidays. The hope is that, instead of running out to buy new items as gifts, people will realize that it’s acceptable and even preferable to source used items instead.”

【1】What drove Poshmark to start Secondhand Sunday?

A．The findings of an assessment.

B．The increasing shopping waste.

C．Booming gift-exchange seasons.

D．Buyers’ strong desire for old items.

【2】What is the key factor for the popularity of Secondhand Sunday according to the text?

A．The great demand for more shopping days.

B．Some local landfill sites’ generous donation.

C．Shoppers’ curiosity about running businesses.

D．The improved public environmental awareness.

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A．Working as a truck driver at a landfill site.

B．Being rejected by some brand companies.

C．Seeing valuable used items dumped and landfilled.

D．Looking for secondhand items to resell.

【4】What does Secondhand Sunday encourage people to do?

A．Buy used items as gifts on holidays.

B．Be cautious of online shopping.

C．Donate used items to companies.

D．Form the habit of recycling waste.

23、   Self-confidence is connected with almost every aspect of a happy and fulfilling life. 【1】

If you have been lacking in confidence, you’re probably familiar with over thinking 【2】 But by being confident, you will be able to break the cycle of over-thinking,

【3】 If you have ever learned a language, mastered a skill, reached a fitness goal, or otherwise overcome setbacks to get to where you wanted to be, you’re well on your way.

You might be thinking, “Well, sure, I was proud of my ‘A’ in Calculus back in high school, but what does that have to do with anything now?” Looking back on your life, you’ll possibly find that every accomplishment takes efforts. 【4】

As your confidence grows, you’ll find yourself more driven to improve your abilities. 【5】 But with self-assurance, those thoughts will no longer be paralyzing (令人麻痹的). Instead, you’ll be able to smile and act anyway, feeling energized by your progress in achieving goals which mean something to you.

A．“What-if” thoughts will still arise: “What if I fail?”

B．The more confident you are, the more faith you will have in yourself.

C．It is related to anxiety and worry, which can make us cut off from the world.

D．Building self-confidence requires you to keep a positive attitude towards your life.

E．Building confidence means taking small steps that leave a lasting sense of accomplishment.

F．A person with self-confidence generally likes themselves and thinks positively about the future.

G．If you could overcome difficulties then, you can do it in other areas of your life where you feel self- doubt.

24、A person, like a commodity （商品）, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment（装饰）, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.

A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony （和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe （better quality）edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.

As long as one find where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

【1】It can be concluded from the text that ________.

A. people should be packed at all ages

B. people should be packed in a special way

C. elderly people also care about packing

D. proper packing makes people attractive

【2】For the middle - aged, attractiveness________ .

A. hardly exists B. is the strongest

C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance

【3】The underlined sentence means that elderly people ________.

A. are usually packed like a finely - made book

B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life

C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information

D. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylands
