George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, listenning for Meaning in a World of Noise, Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s about almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono（和服）brushing against the floor.”
“Dear people are very attetice（专注的）in almose every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protecet each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts（一阵阵）of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking（开裂声）. It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”
24．What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．to be quiet B．to be colorful
C．to be full of love D．to be attentive to someone
25．What does Proehnik say about us?
A．We are used to quietnesss
B．We have to put up with noise
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available
26．Which of the following is true according to Proehnik?
A．We need more sounds in our lives
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony
27．It can be inferered from the text that ________.
A．we can benefit a lot from old people
B．it is a good idea to use sign language
C．there is no escape from the world of sound
D．it is possible to find how beautiful things sound
C
Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed at which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is smart phones, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
28．What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B．The practice of choice is difficult.
C．The right of choice is given but at a price.
D．Choice and right exist at the same time.
29．Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
30．What does the author want to prove by using smart phones as an example?
A．Advanced products meet the needs of people.
B．Products of the latest design flood the market.
C．Competitions are fierce in high-tech industry.
D．Everyday goods need to be replaced often.
31．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
B．The variety of choices in modern society.
C．The opinions on people’s right in different countries.
D．The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D
A University College London study looked at car use to conclude that cities have to become car-free to survive. Simply put, if we don't reduce the number of cars in our cities then they will just completely clog up and stop moving.
The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars was responsible for 4% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (排放) ,which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that's before you even fuel them up.
The study authors construct a mathematical model, and residents choose driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All individuals decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the overall worst-case situation, where the average commuting time is longer and all people decide to use their car.” write the authors of the study.
Besides, policymakers tend to construct even more car infrastructure (基础设施) and invest even more in private cars, which then encourages more private vehicle use and results in even more traffic jams.
Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel options, plus local shops and services.
Also, increasing the costs could be achieved by reducing the space devoted to cars, with more public transport lanes, wider sidewalks, and pedestrian roads, for example.
Dr. Humberto, one author of the study said: “If our goal is to have more liveable and developed cities then we must take part of this land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up”?
A．Turn down. B．Break down.
C．Make troubles. D．Get stuck.
33．What can we infer from the numbers in Paragraph 2?
A．The number of cars is larger than population.
B．Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.
C．CO2 emission is largely affected by car production.
D．Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.
34．What result do study authors get from their model?
A．It is hard for people to keep a balance.
B．It takes more time to drive cars to work.
C．More cars can be used to save time.
D．Driving cars can keep the cost down.
35．What can be a possible way to reduce car use?
A．Building parking lots. B．Saving land for cars.
C．Producing less cars. D．Riding a bus to work.

Dear classmates,
I’m glad to report our group's opinions about the topic "Wild Animal Protection". Firstly, there's no doubt that wild animals should be protected strictly. They belong to part of nature and are of great importance to ecological balance. However, at the present time, some of them are facing the danger of dying out. Then, how can we protect them? Some laws must be passed as soon as possible to stop people killing and selling them. Besides, people should not be allowed to eat wildlife.
Let's appreciate the importance of their protection and remember the serious lesson that humans have experienced. Protecting them means protecting ourselves.
Thank you.

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, listenning for Meaning in a World of Noise, Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s about almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono（和服）brushing against the floor.”
“Dear people are very attetice（专注的）in almose every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protecet each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts（一阵阵）of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking（开裂声）. It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”
24．What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．to be quiet B．to be colorful
C．to be full of love D．to be attentive to someone
25．What does Proehnik say about us?

B．We have to put up with noise
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available
26．Which of the following is true according to Proehnik?
A．We need more sounds in our lives
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony
27．It can be inferered from the text that ________.

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed at which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is smart phones, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
28．What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B．The practice of choice is difficult.
C．The right of choice is given but at a price.
D．Choice and right exist at the same time.
29．Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
30．What does the author want to prove by using smart phones as an example?
A．Advanced products meet the needs of people.
B．Products of the latest design flood the market.
C．Competitions are fierce in high-tech industry.
D．Everyday goods need to be replaced often.
31．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
B．The variety of choices in modern society.
C．The opinions on people’s right in different countries.
D．The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D
A University College London study looked at car use to conclude that cities have to become car-free to survive. Simply put, if we don't reduce the number of cars in our cities then they will just completely clog up and stop moving.
The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars was responsible for 4% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (排放) ,which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that's before you even fuel them up.
The study authors construct a mathematical model, and residents choose driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All individuals decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the overall worst-case situation, where the average commuting time is longer and all people decide to use their car.” write the authors of the study.
Besides, policymakers tend to construct even more car infrastructure (基础设施) and invest even more in private cars, which then encourages more private vehicle use and results in even more traffic jams.
Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel options, plus local shops and services.
Also, increasing the costs could be achieved by reducing the space devoted to cars, with more public transport lanes, wider sidewalks, and pedestrian roads, for example.
Dr. Humberto, one author of the study said: “If our goal is to have more liveable and developed cities then we must take part of this land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up”?
A．Turn down. B．Break down.
C．Make troubles. D．Get stuck.
33．What can we infer from the numbers in Paragraph 2?
A．The number of cars is larger than population.
B．Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.
C．CO2 emission is largely affected by car production.
D．Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.
34．What result do study authors get from their model?
A．It is hard for people to keep a balance.
B．It takes more time to drive cars to work.
C．More cars can be used to save time.
D．Driving cars can keep the cost down.
35．What can be a possible way to reduce car use?
A．Building parking lots. B．Saving land for cars.
C．Producing less cars. D．Riding a bus to work.

Dear classmates,
I’m glad to report our group's opinions about the topic "Wild Animal Protection". Firstly, there's no doubt that wild animals should be protected strictly. They belong to part of nature and are of great importance to ecological balance. However, at the present time, some of them are facing the danger of dying out. Then, how can we protect them? Some laws must be passed as soon as possible to stop people killing and selling them. Besides, people should not be allowed to eat wildlife.
Let's appreciate the importance of their protection and remember the serious lesson that humans have experienced. Protecting them means protecting ourselves.
Thank you.
