21、Everything about Pakistani (巴基斯坦的) trucks is lively, from the colors to the designs to the wood carvings on the doors. Each one is carefully decorated, and no two trucks are alike. The drivers hope people will look at their truck with love. Every driver wants his truck to be the most admired vehicle on the road.
Just off the main road between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, there are artists, welders, metalworkers, horn sellers and electricians, all busy refurbishing (整修) and decorating the massive vehicles parked in the yard. Their space, called the carriage factory area, is devoted to the maintenance and care of trucks that serve the purpose of transporting goods from one place to another while looking and sounding as impressive as possible.
Scholars have traced evidence of decorated transport in Pakistan back thousands of years. The Pakistani practice of truck painting began gaining widespread popularity soon after the country’s independence.
Trucks are covered with designs, colorful stickers and fanciful paintings—hearts, flowers, peacocks, movie stars, folk singers, animals, politicians, angels and army generals. Chains dangling off the bottom jingle and sway with the truck’s stops and turns. There are lines of poetry expressing the loneliness of the trucker.
Drivers also have their choice when it comes to the horns. In his shop, Javed Iqbal vocalizes (使发声) some of the horn sounds for visitors. Many drivers request the “rail wallah” horn, he says, the one that sounds like a train. And for those who don’t want to choose just one sound, he sells a single horn with multiple effects.
Thanks in part to the efforts of Khan, the anthropologist and filmmaker, Pakistani trucks also serve a social good. She helped launch an award-winning project in 2019 in which a small number of trucks carry portraits (画像) of missing children, along with a number to call for Roshni Helpline, a Karachi-based nonprofit dedicated to recovering them. Of the 20 or so missing children whose portraits were painted on trucks, at least five were found.

【3】What is the case when it comes to the horns of the trucks?

22、The National Academies of Science (NAS) has released a new report looking at more than 800 scientific studies about the effects of electronic cigarettes on users’ health.
The report concludes a range of public health impacts of e-cigarettes. However, it does not conclude whether the overall impact is either positive or negative. The report pays special attention to the impact of e-cigarettes on young adults, who use them at higher rates than adults do. Experienced adult users of e-cigarettes can get just as much nicotine as from regular cigarettes. Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. Most e-cigarettes contain and release a variety of substances in addition to nicotine that could be toxic (有毒的). There is generally far less exposure to these other toxic substances from e-cigarettes than from regular cigarettes. Using e-cigarettes can be addictive and the severity of an addiction to e-cigarettes likely depends on many factors, including the device, the e-liquid used in the device, and how the user operates.
The NAS report found a strong association between youth using e-cigarettes and their likelihood of trying conventional cigarettes. Nicotine is highly addictive at any age, but is especially dangerous for youth. The US Surgeon General has criticized e-cigarette marketers for using strategies that target young people. Many flavors appear to be aimed at teenagers, with some popular names such as Cherry Crush and Cotton Candy. Thus young people buy e-cigarettes more than any other tobacco product.
American Cancer Society experts (ACS) acknowledge NAS report, including: an association between the use of e-cigarettes by youth and the eventual use of regular cigarettes; an evidence that e-cigarettes are not harmless, but are likely to be much less harmful than regular cigarettes and unknown risks of long-term use of e-cigarettes. These are similar to findings conducted by ACS researchers. They conclude that the overall health effects of electronic cigarettes are complex, and there is not yet agreement among the scientific community.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)is using its full authority to regulate all tobacco products. It announced in 2016 that it would begin regulating e-cigarettes. But it later delayed until 2022 the deadline for tobacco companies to apply for approval.
【1】What do we learn about the new report from NAS?
A.It focuses on the impact of e-cigarettes on adults.
B.It states the comprehensive effects of e-cigarettes.
C.It is based on 800 scientific studies on e-cigarettes.
D.It is aimed to convince people not to use e-cigarettes.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly intend to tell us?
A.How e-cigarettes impact youth.
B.What the NAS report is about youth.
C.What danger the nicotine is to youth.
D.How youth become attracted by e-cigarettes.
【3】What’s the opinion shared by ACS and NAS?
A.E-cigarettes probably do no harm to health.
B.E-cigarettes have an everlasting impact on health.
C.E-cigarettes cause the same impact as regular cigarettes.
D.E-cigarettes probably make youth become regular smokers.
【4】What can be said about the future of e-cigarettes in the US?
A.Indistinct.
B.Depressing.
C.Brilliant.
D.Promising.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短义。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze. It felt as though my soul departed my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the roster (名单) posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze. I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team while I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey coach, are you sure that the roster you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading (担心) his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year, there is always next year,” the coach replied.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Trying to forget about the situation, I headed over to the cafeteria to buy some food. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day. Everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the rear of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being the only one in our friend group failing to make the team.
I saw my father’s car pull up near the school lot, and I walked up to the car and got in. He smiled at me, played the radio, and started driving home.
