21、第三部分：阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture(家具) for our living room.” C, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
【1】We can learn from the text that many newly married people _______.
A.find it hard to pay for what they need
B.have to learn to make their own furniture.
C.take DIY courses run by the government.
D.seldom go to a department store to buy things

C.he could no possible do two job D.he had to raise the children by himself
22、Life lessons from studying abroad
I’ve studied abroad three times. In high school, I took a biology trip to Panama in Central America for two weeks. 【1】. All the tree experiences have resulted in huge personal growth.
【2】
While you are abroad, there will be times when you will feel lost, frightened, and completely alone in a city of millions of people, and you need help. You have to trust people, or you are never going to get anywhere in life. 【3】 When you have your back against the wall, you have to rely on yourself to get to where you are going. Sometimes that can be frightening, but when you can actually trust yourself, you can truly learn the importance of your independence.
I learned to take advantage of the opportunities that were given to me.
I often say a lot more “yes” and a lot less “no”. Jog round the park? Yes. Hike up a volcano? Yes. Camp in the Sahara Desert? Yes. Volunteer in a Spanish school? Yes. I didn’t let anything stand in the way of me experiencing some of these opportunities. 【4】
I learned to be adaptable (适应强的).
When I was abroad, there were many times when things didn’t go as planned, and I had to adapt to the situation and figure out a plan B. Whether it is a canceled connecting flight, a missed train, or unexpected food poisoning, you have to figure out a way to get through it. I find this to be extremely important. 【5】 They might knock you down, or change your path, but it’s how you respond to these challenges that helps you learn and grow.
A．I had to handle it.
B．Having faith in others earns you help.
C．Staying abroad made me stronger and more confident.
D．I learned to put belief in myself and also in other people.
E．Problems are going to arise when you least expect them.
F．In college I’ve been on two “Education Abroad Programs”.
G．Life is too short to be saying no to things and regretting them later.
23、The high-tech revolution has inspired a pleasure endless stream of new and exciting electronic products that we just can’t live without. In fact, the speed of technological innovation can make last year’s must-have this year’s junk. And that’s the problem.
The average life span of a personal computer has been shortened to around 18 months and this has nothing to do with worn-mice or damaged disk drives. Simply put, electronic products can become out of date before you’ve even figured out how they work.
So what happens to all those old keyboards, monitors, organizers and CPUs? Most are stored away in a warehouse (仓库), taking up valuable space. But many end up in landfills, and that is where the trouble really begins. Computer monitors can contain up to 3.5 kg of dangerous waste once they are no longer in use.
Unfortunately, this problem is not going to disappear anytime soon. In fact, it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone, people throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners each year. What is to be done with all this techno-trash?
One way to reduce waste is to avoid throwing away in the first place. Many companies reuse parts from old products in new models. This is not cheating-it makes both environmental and economic sense. Cannon, for example, has adopted a philosophy known as “kyosei”, meaning “living and working together for the common good?” — a goal of achieving balance between the environment and the corporate (公司的) activities. The company has even gone so far as to say that environmental assurance should come before all business activities, and that companies unable to achieve such assurance do not deserve to remain in business.
As part of that effort, the company has started a global recycling program with a goal to reduce, reuse and recycle more than 90% of its used products. In 1999, for example, Cannon collected 128, 000 copying machines and 12, 175 tons of toner cartridges (色粉盒) in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Some argue that electronic garbage can also be controlled during the design phase. This concept, called “design for the environment”. Not only does this make environmental sense, but it saves the customer money. IBM, meanwhile, recently planned programs in Canada and the US that, for a small fee, will take back not just an IBM but also any manufacturer’s computer. Depending on the age and condition, the equipment will then be either donated to charity, or broken down for reusable parts and recyclable materials.
【1】With the rapid development of science and technology high-tech products can ____.
A．last for many years
B．become worn out soon
C．become old and useless soon
D．be used forever
【2】What is not the problem caused by the out-of-date high-tech products?
A．Too much room is needed for their probable storage.
B．People do not know how to deal with them at all.
C．The amount of this techno-trash is increasing everyday without stop.
D．Harmful substances contained within may pollute the environment.
【3】What idea can be learned through the example of Canon?
A．Business must be achieved at the cost of environment.
B．Environment holds great importance than business.
C．Business and environment has little impact on each other.
D．Recycling makes only environment sense instead of economic benefits.
【4】When the author says, “electronic garbage can be controlled during the design phase”, he means ________.
A．while designing products, we must make something to contain garbage
B．while designing products, don’t throw away garbage away
C．while designing, we must work out how much garbage the new product will bring about
D．while designing, we must take environment into consideration.
【5】What can be inferred from reading the passage?
A．The problem caused by high-tech products can’t be solved in short time
B．The techno-trash problem can easily be solved in big countries
C．The problem can be solved to some degree if enough attention is paid
D．It is still hard to say whether this problem can be solved or not
24、The area of tropical forest destroyed in 2021 was enough to cover the entire island of Cuba, and sent more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as India does in an entire year from burning fossil fuels, according to an analysis published on Thursday.
Some 11.1 million hectares (around 43, 000 square miles) of forest was destroyed, mainly by logging (伐木)as well as fires, the analysis by the World Resources Institute’s Global Forest Watch and the University of Maryland found. Some of those fires were deliberately lit to clear land and many were deteriorated by climate change.
The loss was less severe than in 2020, but deforestation (毁林)is still occurring at an alarming rate in the tropics. Of the area lost, 3. 75 million hectares were primary tropical forest at the equivalent of 10 soccer fields every minute, WRI reported.
Primary tropical forests in particular are crucial for the ecological balance of the planet, providing oxygen that supports life and as biodiversity hotspots. They are also rich in stored carbon, and when these forests are logged or burned, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
“What’s important to understand is that forests, especially tropical forests, are part of the global climate system,” WRI senior fellow Frances Seymour told CNN. “So they’re not mechanical carbon storage devices. They actually influence the energy transfer and the moisture content of the atmosphere in ways that affect rainfall and global circulation patterns.”
“When deforestation happens, when forests are lost, it not only contributes carbon to the atmosphere, but also disrupts rainfall patterns and increases local temperatures in some ways. For example, it makes remaining forests more vulnerable to fire, and the warmer, drier conditions that come with climate change,” Seymour said.
【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “deteriorated” in paragraph 2?
A．strengthened
B．expanded
C．worsened
D．extended
【2】In which aspect are primary tropical forests especially important?
A．Promoting world economy.
B．Balancing the earth’s ecology.
C．Predicting severe weather.
D．Providing wood resources.
【3】What did Seymour talk about in the last paragraph?
A．The consequence of deforestation.
B．The cause of forests loss.
C．The methods of protecting forests.
D．The contributions of forests.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Logging causes most forests loss
B．Analysts are concerned about tropic forests loss
C．Primary tropical forests are rich in stored carbon
D．Tropical forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate
