21、The moonlight poured in through the windows, lighting the room. Oliver was sitting at the table, totally absorbed in his book. Oliver was a book fan. He read books whenever he could. Grandma Agnes felt sorry for Oliver when she heard him talk enthusiastically about the books he read because they were poor. She knew the money she gave him for lunch was spent on those books instead.

The next day, on the bus, Oliver was reading his storybook again when he heard a noise and raised his eyes. He saw the bus driver shouting at a blind older woman. She explained to the driver that her daughter was ill in hospital, and that she forgot to bring her purse. The driver mistakenly believed that she was making excuses to avoid paying the bus ticket! Knowing she wouldn’t be able to persuade the driver, the older woman was about to get off the bus, when Oliver stepped in.

“I’ll pay for her fare, sir!” he said. Then Oliver helped the blind older woman into the seat next to him and paid her fare. When he returned to his seat, the woman said to him, “Thank you, little kid, you have a sweet voice!”

“I’m a big boy! And my name is Oliver, ” Oliver said proudly. “I’m Mary,” the older woman introduced herself and expressed her gratitude for helping her. Although Oliver had planned to use the money to buy the next book in the series he was reading, he couldn’t bear to see Mary in trouble.

22、   Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners.

When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999 it was far from clear that the country’s enthusiastic tea drinkers would take to such a different and usually more costly-source of caffeine.

Starbucks tried to entice（引诱）customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk- and sugar-heavy mixtures such as Frappuccinos （星冰乐）.

Starbucks now has about 3,800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America.

Coffee has become fashionable among the middle class. Statista, a business-intelligence portal（门户网站），says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10% a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big future for expanding there.

Since its founding less than two years ago, Luckin-a newly-founded coffee brand in China- has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin's first public offering on the NASDAQ stock market raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4 billion. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely small shops where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app,

The high-class end of the market is prosperous too.

23、   Seattle on Sunday became the first major US city to ban drinking straws(吸管), an environmentally friendly move that leaders hope will spark a nationwide conversation about small, everyday changes that people can make to protect the planet.

A decade ago, the city adopted a law requiring that all one-time-use food-service items be compostable(可分解的) or recyclable. But straws were exempted from that law because there were not many good alternatives. So the straws stayed, along with the environmental problems they cause.

Most plastic straws aren’t heavy enough to make it through industrial recycling sorters, and can ruin an otherwise good load of recycling. Or they end up getting blown out of trash cans and car windows and eventually wind up in the oceans, where they can hurt wildlife.

Strawless Ocean estimates that 71 percent of seabirds and 30 percent of turtles have some kind of plastic in their stomachs. The organization says plastic can increase the death rate of marine life by 50 percent.

Now customers at grocery stores, restaurants, food trucks, even institutional cafeterias have to find another way to get liquid into their mouths. Compostable paper straws are allowed under the ban. People who have a medical need to use a straw are not included. 

Failure to obey may result in a US$250 fine, although city leaders said that the purpose of the law is more about raising awareness. In September, 150 businesses participated in Strawless in Seattle, an attempt to reduce the use of plastic straws. In that month alone, Strawless Ocean estimates, 2.3 million plastic straws were removed from the city.

“When you get your iced drink, you’re going to get a straw. When you get your wine, you’re probably going to get a straw,” said Dune Ives, executive director of the Lonely Whale Foundation, which led the campaign. “Imagine a world where we could stop consuming 500 million straws a day, just in America!” the campaign says. “Imagine a world that is less dependent on plastic. That’s change we can start today!”

【1】What does the underlined word “exempted” mean in the second paragraph？

A.To make something out of the list. B.To make something better than before.

C.To include something in a special list. D.To forgive someone who makes mistakes.

【2】What the problem may the drinking straws cause according to the passage?

A.They may make the trash cans dirty. B.They may destroy American recycling system.

C.They may cause much ocean wildlife in danger. D.They may cause many companies get fined.

【3】What is the attitude of the public towards the ban?

A.Many people are in favor of it. B.Many people pay no attention to it.

C.Some people are strongly against it. D.Only the government workers agree with it.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Seattle becomes first major US city to ban straws.

B.Seattle successfully bans people from using straws.

C.Seattle has been working hard to protect the environment.

D.Imagine a world that is less dependent on plastic.

24、These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.

New Orleans

In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.

Chicago

Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.

Memphis

Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music.   People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.

New York City

New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.

【1】What do New Orleans jazz and Chicago blues have in common?

A．They sound very sad.

B．They have similar origin.

D．They are played on the guitar.

【2】When was rock and roll born?

A．In the 19th century.

B．In the late 19th century.
