21、 Many people read physical books or e-books, but now there is a new trend - listening to audiobooks. According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication(CAPP), more people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days.
To be specific, 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3.2 percentage higher than that in 2017.
Young people have been the main driver in the development of audiobooks. Some 26.2 percent of teenagers listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3.5 percent higher than that in 2017. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.
One of the 'reasons why audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at the gym, on a bus, or in bed. Faster internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.
Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness: “When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks makes me feel that there is someone accompanying me,” Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed with audiobooks, told the Beijing Evening News.
However, audiobooks are still far from perfect: “Listening to audiobooks doesn't' make you think in the way you do when you' re reading a book. It's also likely that you will miss information while you listen,” said Zhong.
Qiang Qiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this perspective: “Despite its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical books you read,” he told the Beijing Evening News.
Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, told Jiangnan Times that people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an audiobook if the content is easy to understand.
【1】What can we learn from the first four paragraphs?

C.About half of young people in China listened to audiobooks in 2018.
D.Ximalaya is the first choice when people listen to audiobooks.
【2】According to the article, people like to listen to e-books because ________.
A.they are cheaper than paper books
B.they are more convenient
C.they are more relaxing than physical books
D.they provide people with a better reading experience
【3】What can we learn from Li Yini's words?
A.Audiobooks are less detailed than physical books.
B.People think differently when they listen to audiobooks.
C.Physical bookstores face a big challenge from audiobooks.
D.People should choose a book form based on its content
22、What do you think when you hear the phrase “when pigs fly?” 【1】This common saying is used to express the idea that something is highly impossible. For example, if you ask your parents to buy you something very expensive, the answer might be “when pigs fly?”
【2】An old mention of pigs flying appeared in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. However, it is believed that Carroll may have picked up the phrase from the Scottish, who had been using the phrase for several hundred years. That may be right.
There are also those who believe the phrase may have gotten its start in America. 【3】It’s not surprising that many common sayings that developed back then had an animal or farm background. For example, farmers used to take pigs to slaughterhouse (屠宰场) along rivers on small boats. If it was foggy, people on the bank could only see the pigs’ heads above the fog 【4】 This might have caused the saying to appear.
Other countries also use animals to show impossibility. 【5】 Other countries, such as France and Spain, use phrases like “when frogs grow hair or when hens grow teeth”.
A.The phrase was used as a clever reply.
B.Long ago, most Americans worked in farming.
C.You may want to know the origin (起源) of this phrase.
D.Maybe funny pictures of pigs with wings fill your mind.
E.People like to use colorful phrases to get a message across.

23、“This has gone as well as I could have dreamed, and I can fly in the near future!” Yes, Alyssa Carson, a now-18-year-old astronaut from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is capable. For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years living there, growing food, performing science experiments and searching for signs of life. “The Martian is actually very accurate,” she said. “A lot of things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen.” She has devoted her entire life to preparing for her journey.
Her love for space started when she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans at the age of 3. Five animal pals on imaginary adventures in their backyard, including one part-a mission to Mars. “I thought ‘This red planet is so cool!’” she said. “I started watching videos of rovers’ landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room which I would look at every day. I started getting telescopes so I could look at space.
At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. “That was the weekend of my life.” she said. I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and I got to see a life-size rocket.” She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At 12, she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada and Izmir, Turkey.
At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated (模拟) missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.
When she was 9, she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a hobby. “I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day,” she said. “But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president.”

B.Alyssa will have many tasks to complete if she lands on Mars successfully.
C.Alyssa was forced to learn the basics of space science by her father.
