22、New Zealand has announced it will outlaw smoking for the next generation, so that those who are aged 14 and under today will never be legally able to buy tobacco.

New legislation (法规) means the legal smoking age will increase every year, to create a smoke-free generation of New Zealanders, associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall said on Thursday. “This is a historic day for the health of our people,” she said.

The government announced the rising age alongside other measures to make smoking unaffordable and inaccessible, to try to reach its goal of making the country entirely smoke-free within the next four years. Other measures include reducing the legal amount of nicotine in tobacco products to very low levels, cutting down the shops where cigarettes could legally be sold, and increasing funding to addiction services. The new laws will not restrict vape (电子烟) sales.

New Zealand's daily smoking rates have been dropping over time - down to 11.65% in 2018, from 18% a decade earlier. But smoking rates for Maori and Pacifika were far higher - 29% for Maori and 18% for Pasifika. “If nothing changes, it would be decades till Maori smoking rates fall below 5%,” Verrall said. She said to end smoking in the next four years was within reach: “I believe it is. The issue is, though, if we don't change what we’re doing, we won’t make it for Maori - and that’s what the plan is really focused on”.

Smoking has already been widely replaced by vaping among teenage New Zealanders, which is also attracting many young people who would never have taken up smoking - according to surveying of 19,000 high school students this year, nearly 20% were vaping daily or several times a day, the majority with high nicotine doses. That’s compared to 3% of those aged 15-17 who smoked daily in 2018, or 13% who smoked a decade earlier.

Verrall said the legislation would be introduced in 2022, with the age limits coming in in 2023.

【1】What’s the final goal of the new legislation?

A．To forbid the people aged 14 and under to buy tobacco.

B．To make the country entirely smoke-free within years.

C．To make buying tobacco hard.

D．To increase the legal smoking age.

【2】What’s true about New Zealand outlawing smoking for the next generation?

A．Everyone is allowed to purchase tobacco with permit.

B．Purchase of smoking becomes easier and less pricy.

C．The vape sales will be greatly influenced.

D．It benefits the building of a smoke-free generation.

【3】What do the numbers in paragraph 4 reflect?

A．New Zealand’s daily smoking rate is quite low.

B．It has taken a long time to decrease the rate of smoking.

C．Smoking rates are not equal among different parts in New Zealand.

D．The smoking rate will be higher over the years.

【4】What’s the best title of this passage?

23、After fighting cancer for 13 years, my grandfather became ill enough to be admitted to hospital. One morning, he was having trouble breathing, but continued to silently hold my hand. I kept forgetting his special request that grandpa wanted me to fetch a New Year card that my late grandmother had given him on their last anniversary together. He used the card as a bookmark in his Bible.

I just knew that I had to fetch his much-loved and much-requested gift. Leaving my grandpa at his bedside, I rushed home. Jumping back into my car with the card in my hand, was depressed when the car wouldn't start. I quickly ran to the nearest bus stop. As I waited there, out of breath, I looked in my purse only to find a $20 note and 50 cents in change.

A short while later, a bus appeared. I quickly got on and offered the driver the $20 note To my amazement, he told me that he had no change and that I had to get off and wait for the next bus. I was horrified.

A few minutes later, another bus came.<'Hey, where do you want to go?" asked another driver . I told him the hospital and about my lack of change. Although he was going to completely different destination, he shouted, "Hop aboard- - -let's see what we can do."

In exchange for my $20 note, he offered me two fives and a ten. Next, he picked up his phone and made a call. Just as we passed the corner, I could see the previous bus that I had tried to board waiting for me, at the next stop. My kind driver told me, to hop out and catch the, bus in front.

After less than 20 minutes, I was back at the hospital. By then, grandpa was pale and blue. When I handed him the card, he laughed and cried. As he looked at it, I knew I had done the right thing in getting it for him. It was like telling grandma that he was coming.

24、My head was so full of digital noise that it felt like my brain was about to blow a fuse (导火线). I had no greater power of concentration than the lifeless stare of a goldfish. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been compromised by a brain that simply could not sit still.

So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.

My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here’s how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a misbehaving child who needs some rules laid down. Then I decided that I would read for an hour or two at a time without distraction each day. It was something I hadn’t done in years and it was scary how difficult it was.

In his book, The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge to reach for that screen. I took inspiration from Nikki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family’s devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection. For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was like a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times when I normally would reach for my phone. I read on the tram, at the park, in bed at night and on lunch breaks.

By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration, knowledge, reflection and escape. In our modern world, reading is a powerful and beneficial way for us to slow down and be ourselves.

【1】What does the underlined word “compromised” mean in the first paragraph?

A．Rejected.

B．Disturbed.

C．Weakened.

D．Removed.

【2】What was the first thing the author did to achieve the goal?

A．The author went to the bookstore to buy books.

B．The author was determined to make rules for himself.

C．The author was buried in reading for an hour or two at once

D．The author decided to get involved in reading with people around.

【3】What can we infer about the author?

A．The author benefited a lot from reading books.

B．The author got inspiration when he reached for the screen

C．The author would rather read books outdoors than indoors

D．The author was reminded to kill time with electronic devices.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Falling in love with reading

B．Resisting the urge to reach for the screen

C．Going back to the books

D．Escaping from the noisy world in reading
