21、Since the 1920s, a little-known policy called parking minimums has shaped many Americans’ life. In major cities, this meant that any type of building needed to reserve a certain number of parking spaces to accommodate anyone who might visit.

But as the country attempts to cut carbon emissions (排放), we should rethink what transportation and public space look like, especially in cities. Earlier this month, the city of Austin, Texas, became the latest community to undo parking minimums.

“If we want half of all trips to be in something other than a car, then we can’t, as a city, in my opinion, demand that every home or business have at least one parking space for each resident or customer,” said Zohaib Qadri, the Austin city council member who introduced the measure. Reducing dependency on cars was a huge push for the initiative in Austin. Qadri hopes the measure also will lead to a more sustainable city.

The undoing of this law could pave the way for cities to build denser (密集的) housing, increase public transit options, and reduce their carbon emissions, according to Donald Shoup, an engineer and professor. “It isn’t just the housing crisis and climate change; it’s a traffic jam; it’s local air pollution; it’s the high price of everything—except parking,” said Shoup.

Climate change and air pollution are particularly costly outcomes, with both estimated to cost the US billions of dollars every year. Parking spots, meanwhile, can run in the tens of thousands of dollars to construct, with one estimate putting that figure at almost $30, 000 per spot.

But undoing parking minimums does not mean that all parking will disappear overnight. It means that any off-street parking built will not need to meet any minimum standard.

“Austin is the same city that it was two weeks ago,” said Shoup. “It’s going to take quite a while for that city to really get the benefits of their parking space reforms. And so it just removes a roadblock and a barrier to other reforms.”

【1】Why was parking minimums policy deserted in Austin?

A．To make room for green belts.

B．To help tackle climate problems.

C．To respond to residents’ demand.

D．To ease the heavy traffic.

【2】What can we infer from Qadri’s words?

A．Parking space provides convenience.

B．Cars are used for half of people’s trips.

C．Each home needs more than one parking space.

D．Reducing parking space can reduce dependency on cars.

【3】What is Donald Shoup’s attitude towards undoing parking minimums?

A．Supportive.

B．Concerned.

C．Doubtful.

D．Disappointed.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．The Harm of Climate Change

B．The Origin of Parking Minimums

C．The Reason for Too Many Emissions

D．A Possible Way to Fight Climate Change

22、There are more than 400 units in the National Park System of the United States. Most people know about the most popular parks, such as Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon National Park. Here are some of the little-known National Parks that everyone should try to visit.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Crater Lake is one of the most unique areas in Oregon and the country. The park makes a great summer and winter time destination. Most of the year the park is covered in snow, the summertime window is very brief, lasting only from July to October. During the short summer, visitors can enjoy the Rim Drive, hike, camp, fish, swim in the lake and even take a boat tour of the lake.

Joshua Tree National Park, California

Located in southern California, Joshua Tree National Park has some amazing sites to see, even the night skies, especially while camping. There are many nature trails, hiking trails, as well as options for mountain biking and rock-climbing. Visitors to Joshua Tree National Park can enjoy the beautiful desert ecosystem.

Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona

Arizona has excellent examples of some of the ancient history of the Americas. One place to learn about this and see it in person is at Petrified Forest National Park. This park has an amazing concentration of petrified wood, giving visitors the chance to imagine the forests that once covered the land.

Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota

23、When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton, because everyone knows that organic is better for Earth. And in some ways it is; in conventional cotton-farming, pesticides strip the soil of life. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed using harsh industrial chemicals, which can pollute local groundwater. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green? 【1】.

It’s a question that most of us are ill equipped to answer, even as the debate over what is and isn’t green becomes all-important in a hot and crowded world. 【2】. We evolved to respond to threats that were clear and present. That’s why, when we eat spoiled food, we get disgusted and when we see a bright light, we shut our eyes. 【3】. Scanning the supermarket aisles, we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose —and probably couldn’t make sense of the information even if we had it.

But what if we could seamlessly calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? 【4】 That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. Using a young science called industrial ecology, businesses and green activists alike are beginning to compile the environmental and biological impact of our every decision—and delivering that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. “We can know the causes of what we’re doing, and we can know the impact of what we’re doing,” says Goleman, who wrote the 1995 best seller Emotional Intelligence.

【5】 It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite resources. Golem an highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for millenniums, villagers have survived harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not anymore.”

A．Would you still buy it?

B．What if we could think ecologically?

C．It’s going to have a radical impact on the way we do business.

D．Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy.

E．Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well?

F．But nothing in evolution has prepared us to understand the accumulative impact industrial chemicals may have on us.

G．That’s because our ability to make complex products with complex supply chains has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences.

24、“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” These words from the pioneering African American tennis champion Arthur Ashe echo so vibrantly with the moment we’re living in and, really, with any time of complexity and challenge. 【1】

Start Where You Are

Where else would you start on any journey, project or process than right where you are?     【2】. Start by taking some deep breaths. Then notice five things you see, four things you feel, three things you hear, two things you smell and one thing you taste. Noticing the smallest details of the physical space you are occupying at a given moment can help you feel steady and ready to step forward into a task, challenge or other new chapter.

Use What You Have

【3】? This is a helpful thought when dinnertime is getting close, my stomach is starting to rumble (咕噜作响), and I’m not sure what will be on my plate. I always calm down when I open the fridge and open my eyes to what I have and can use.

【4】       

What else can we ever do than what’s possible? Whatever is on your shoulders right now, the frustrating reality is, you won’t be able to complete it all, solve it all, achieve it all. 【5】. Be grounded in the present moment, connected with the resources you need to take the first steps and confident in your goal.

A．Do What You Can

B．Whatever you do, do not let go

C．It can feel surprisingly hard to do

D．But the encouraging troth is, you can do quite a bit

E．I love the “5, 4, 3, 2, 1” technique to feel grounded

F．What else could we use than the resources actually available to us

G．It’s one of those quotations that invites us to step into its wisdom and explore it in the context of our own lives

25、

"A woman's life isn't complete until she has________ ."says Lao Bai as he toasts his friends at the dinner table. The line is produced at the dinner party，a________ scene from the latest romantic comedy B for Busy（爱情神话），which is starred by attractive actresses such as Ma Yili, Ni Hongjie and Wu Yue.

With the audience merrily immersed in the carefully designed plots and lines of the film, the ________ of feminist consciousness is distinctly perceived. Indeed, the film featuring the local culture of Shanghai took only a few days to become the highest-rated Chinese movie of 2021 on Douban because the film, as opposed to a wealth of other conventional films, ________ the traditional male gaze, pushing the boundaries of female empowerment even further. As the line at the beginning implies, more and more Chinese women are going all out to ________ themselves from the traditional restrictions set by men and to erase huge sexist bias with great achievements.

Have those women pioneers achieved a huge success in the male's world? Not nearly.

With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, a grieving ________ unkindly unfolded online before all the Chinese people. One is Eileen Gu, the 18-year-old skier winning two gold medals for China; the other is a chained mother of eight locked in a doorless hut.

The huge gap between them serves as a ________ reminder that the poverty gap remains hard to bridge in China. The extent of a person's ________ determines how cozy his/her life turns out to be. A simple but underlying principle is that the wealthier you are, the wider access you will have to novelties, which will further your ________ on the world. Accordingly, in relatively wealthy areas, the prominent Eileen Gu stands a chance to pursue her dream and secure perfect skiing abilities, thus greeting herself with spiritual gratification in self-fulfillment. ________ in comparatively destitute areas, women are denied the access to self-refinement, subjected to men's incurable obsession with having ________ and thus they reluctantly perform the mission of carrying on the family line-for husbands. The fundamental cause of it comes down to poverty, resulting in the poor's limited horizons, which invariably contribute to ________ misconduct.

On a whole scale, China still has a long way to go because it has just ________ the relief of absolute poverty, not relative poverty. Even if relative poverty is tackled, a lag period awaits before the ________ of deep-rooted concept resulting from it, requiring women's continuous fight.

Thereby, as we take a close look at our country, attention should not be ________ paid to those glorious sportswomen; spotlight also needs to be cast upon those unfortunate women trapped in deep darkness. Be it Eileen Gu or the chained woman in Xuzhou, each one of them, as Lao Bai introduces himself in B for Busy, represents a different and real part of China.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and cause emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not receive day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it results in, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.

Firstly, authropologists（人类学家）point out that the isQulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngoni（恩戈尼人）the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone - far from it.

Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, caretakers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.

Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.

But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early is reasonable for infants.
