21、 According to a report by the United Nations,54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050,this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities,they can end up with nowhere to live.
This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro,where migrants can’t rent or buy a home,and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty towns—poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don’t have any electricity or water supply.
These are,of course,not the megacities(大城市)of the future we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good,safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the infrastructure(基础设施),the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employment.
Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of “smart cities”. According to John Rossant,founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation ,technology is the way forward.He thinks that it’s generally accepted that“cloud computing, ubiquitous internet,robust 5G networks,etc,will transform our cities.” He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanisation. It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.
This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)view. For now,some big cities around the world are trying out more low—tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work in. Building shared—ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog. What would make your city a better place to live in?
【1】What’s the text mainly about?
A.The city of the future. B.The increase of the population.
C.Urban construction. D.The function of smart cities.
【2】Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2?
A.To show the growth of the world population.
B.To show the problems in urbanization.

D.To show financial trouble of the city.
【3】What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities?
A.Technology. B.Urban planning.
C.The infrastructure of the city. D.Opportunities for education.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.High-tech plans can be easily realized.
B.Public transport is well developed in cities.
C.Shared-ownership houses make no sense.
D.Ways of low-tech are available at present.
22、 In the African country of Malawi, fishing is a way of life for people who live near lakes. Fishing employs over 50,000 people there. Traditionally, the fishers have several methods to dry the fish for the market. They include frying, smoking, or placing them on wire racks. But since the fishers dry their catch in the open air, about half of it slowly breaks down and goes bad. And some animals even try to eat the catch.
Now, solar tents are being used to help dry fish on Lake Chilwa, Malawi’s second-largest lake. The solar tent is made from clear plastic. The plastic is stretched over a large wooden structure. The tent looks like a greenhouse, a glass building where plants can grow in the cold weather.
Jennifer Mussa is a local fish trader. “When we collect fish from the lake, we dry them inside this solar fish dryer,” she said. In the past, it would take one-and-a-half to two days to dry. Now the fishers will put it in the morning; by the evening, they can take the fish out. The solar tents have also helped fish traders get higher prices at the market for cleaner, better-quality fish.
Money for the tents came from Cultivate Africa’s Future. The organization works to improve fishing and farming methods with simple inventions. The goal is to increase access to food, resources, and markets for the communities. The organization also encourages people to use energy-saving kiln ovens to smoke fish, not open fires. Then people can cut down fewer trees for firewood.
【1】What major problem do the fishers in Malawi face?
A.Their animals often get stolen. B.The fish goes bad easily when dried.
C.They can’t find people to work for them. D.The number of fish in the lakes is falling.
【2】What do we know about the solar tent?

C.People mainly use it to keep warm. D.It cuts down the time needed to dry fish.
【3】What does Cultivate Africa’s Future do?
A.It focuses on local children’s education. B.It gives kiln ovens to the fishers for free.
C.It helps the fishers and the environment. D.It helps people to plant more trees in Africa.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A.People in Malawi Live on Fish. B.The Benefits of Using Solar Tents.
C.Different Ways to Dry Fish in Malawi. D.Solar Tents Improve Fishing in Malawi.
23、In the first term of college, Professor Kelly lectured us in his Acting 1 class about the importance of taking the business of acting seriously. As I prepare to take on my senior year, I think back on the first term and I consider my seriousness and my love for the art of theatre. I'm pleased to say that, for the most part, my determination remains as strong as ever.
Even after I've learned about the difficulties and the heartbreak that go with working as an actor, I know that it is still the right path for me. Something Professor Kelly said in that first acting class has stuck with me through these last three years. He said, " Every actor chooses to act for their own reasons — personally I do it because I have to. I have to perform. It's who l am." For as long as I've been performing, I've wondered how to best describe why I do what I do. Professor Kelly answered that question for me that day.
When I was little and first imagined what it would be like to be a real actor, I would imagine being known about by many people someday. However, I never actually wanted that. I act because no matter what is going on in my life,no matter how stressed I am with what's happening outside of or during practices, when I'm on stage, I'm home and I'm me.
Many parents will feel worried about their children's choosing to be an actor. Some will be surprised. My parents are just exceptions. They knew from the start that nothing was going to keep me from doing what I love.
【1】What did Professor Kelly's words make the author realize?
A.She did acting out of love.
B.She really had a gift for acting.
C.She would face many challenges.
D.She must work hard to learn acting.
【2】What does the underlined word " that" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Imagining being an actor.
B.Being on stage.
C.Becoming famous one day.
D.Being devoted to theatre.
【3】How do the author's parents feel about her choice?
A.Content.
B.Sympathetic.
C.Concerned.
D.Disappointed.
【4】What is the author mainly talking about in the text?
A.Why she chose acting.
B.Who inspired her to act.
C.How acting changed her life.
D.What she learned about acting.
24、For the first time, a rat has won a British aid group’s top award for animal bravery. The animal is being honored for its work searching out unexploded landmines (地雷) in Cambodia. The award winner is an African giant rat named Magawa.
The group, APOPO, which aims to help clear landmines left behind from wars and conflicts says that more than 60 million people in 59 countries continue to be threatened by landmines and unexploded weapons. In 2018, landmines and other remains of war killed or injured 6,897 people.
Magawa was trained by a Belgian organization that has been teaching rats to find landmines for more than 20 years, and he is the group’s most successful rat. Magawa has cleared more than 141,000 square meters of land over the past four years. Many animals including brave dogs, birds and cats can be trained to search things out with their noses and perform work for food. But the giant African rats were best equipped to help clear landmines because of their African roots and lifespan of up to eight years. The rats’ size permits them to walk across mine fields without setting off explosives. Magawa was from Tanzania, but is now based in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap. British charity PDSA gave its Gold Medal to Magawa for his lifesaving bravery and devotion to duty. He is the first rat to receive a PDSA medal in the 77-year history of the awards.
APOPO’s chief Christophe Cox said Magawa’s medal was a huge honor for the group's animal trainers. But also, it is big for the people in Cambodia, and all the people around the world who are suffering from landmines. He hopes the Gold Medal award can bring more worldwide attention to the problem of landmines.
【1】What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A.Landmines still threaten people’s life.
B.APOPO left many landmines in Africa.
C.Rats set off the most landmines in 59 countries.
D.Wars and conflicts are still threatening 59 countries.
【2】Where was Magawa born?
A.Britain.
B.Tanzania.
C.Belgium.
D.Cambodia.
【3】Why did British charity PDSA give Magawa the Gold Medal?
A.For his giant body.
B.For his long lifespan.
C.For his saving life.
D.For his twenty years’ training.
【4】What is Christophe Cox’s expectation?
A.To change people’s attitudes to rats.
B.To advertise the British charity PDSA.
C.To praise animal trainers around the world.
D.To arouse people’s attention to the remains of wars.
