To relax, they invented many games. Some of them had a long history.Chuiwan(捶丸)Chuiwan started in the Tang Dynasty(唐朝) and became the most popular in the Song Dynasty. It was similar to golf. On a large playground, the players were divided(分成) into two groups. There were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had 3 chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. The player could win points when they hit balls into the hole.Cuju(蹴鞠)First recorded in the Warring States Time(战国时期), cuju is known as the earliest form of football. As a fun and relaxing game, it was used in the army to train soldiers(士兵). Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team had 12 or 16 players. Instead of hands, only feet and head could be used. Players should hit the ball into the opposite(对方的) goal.Archery(射箭)Archery began in the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties(魏晋南北朝). It was an important part of education for a gentleman in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Boys began to learn shooting at the age of 15. The most famous competition at that time was called Grand Archery(礼射), which was held by the emperor. The competitors bowed(鞠躬) before shooting and drank together after.21.

Although it started producing(生产) mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies. After more than 30 years’ development, Huawei has become the world’s largest supplier(供应商) of 5G. But it faced difficulties. The US government ordered a ban(禁令) on its sales in America. American government said Huawei collected information for the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. That would hurt Huawei’s business.Huawei started selling its new Mate 60 Pro smartphones in late August without telling others. It is a Chinese smartphone with an advanced chip(先进的芯片). Now it is very popular with people all over the world. The United States government is searching for more information about Huawei Mate 60 Pro. The news makes many foreign experts(专家) shocked. They don’t understand how the company has the technology to make such a chip.Huawei has faced the sanctions(制裁) on the supply of chips for many years. But Huawei has the ability to stand up on its own two feet and make scientific and technological progress. Huawei has become a symbol for Chinese companies fighting injustice(不公正) in the world. Even if it has to live under the US government’s unreasonable sanctions, support from the Chinese people will last forever. After all, Chinese people want Made in China to keep getting bigger and better.24. Why did the US government order a ban on Huawei? A. Because Huawei planned to stop selling in the US. B.

China has worked hard to stop food waste in order to reach the UN’s goal — Zero Hunger in 2030. Though many countries face the food crisis in the world, the amount(数量) of food waste in some rich countries is surprising. The Chinese Academy of Sciences(中国科学院) did some research a few years ago. The research collected information from four cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Lhasa. They found that cities in China wasted 17 to 18 billion kilograms of food every year. That was the amount of food that 30 to 50 million people eat every year. The report said tourist groups, primary and middle school students, and parties were the top three reasons for food waste.Looking at other countries with enough food, the amount of food waste is also high. In the US, food waste is between 30-40 percent of the food that people can get. In the EU, people waste around 88 billion kilograms of food every year, and it is worth about 143 billion euros (169 billion US dollars).Food waste has increasingly become a big problem in the world. Lots of populations are still hungry for different reasons. In some places, people can’t grow crops because the weather is too hot and dry. Sometimes people can’t get enough food because of wars, a natural disaster like rainstorms or COVID-19. Though China doesn’t face a food crisis and has rich food these years, the Chinese people still need to save food.28. How does the writer tell us about the serious food waste? A. By telling stories. B. By showing numbers. C. By giving reasons.29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. Tourists are one of the reasons for food waste. B. In the US and EU, food waste is also surprising. C. The UN wanted no food waste in 2030 in the world.30. What may cause many people to stay hungry? ① Bad weather. ② Wars. ③ Unhealthy food. ④ COVID-19 A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Reasons for food waste. B. Ways to stop the food crisis. C. The world’s big problem — food waste. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)  阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。This year marks the 30th birthday of 21st Century Teens(青少年), one of China’s lending English newspapers.
