21、Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand different.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the "dream job" of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or "vlogger". The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put vloggers as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting（交流）with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame（名声）and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but that allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the
Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
【1】Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A．Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B．There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C．The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D．Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
【2】What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A．Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B．A vlogger cannot earn fame or fortune.
C．Being a vlogger is not a good career.
D．Dreams will come true one day.
【3】What do some young people like David do on the Internet?
A．Learn from others.
B．Become an online hit.
C．Hold running races.
D．Mix jobs with hobbies.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their jobs based on their hobbies.
B．The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.
C．The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D．Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
22、 This commercial kitchen in central London prepares one-and-a-half thousand meals a day. It provides catering for a museum and a conference centre. Kitchens like these typically throw away 20% of the ingredients they buy. Some are thrown away even though they are edible. And sometimes food ends up in the bin simply because it's not needed after all.
To stop this happening, this kitchen has been using a new piece of technology which can simply be connected to a normal bin on scales (磅秤). This is what’s known as a smart bin. Kitchen staff use it like a supermarket self-checkout. The idea is to keep an accurate digital record of the food being thrown out. This helps the head chef make more informed choices.
Bill Owen, head chef said, 'It was a shocker how many tons are actually saved through using this. ' By keeping an eye on exactly what kind of food is being thrown out, the chef can not only adjust his orders of ingredients, but also make whole new menus based on what was previously being thrown away. 'In an operation where you make a significant amount of your food in advance, you can typically cut food waste in half. ' Mark Zornes Winnow added.
Do people actually have time to sort the food as they are putting it into the bin? They do. To start with, take a little while to get used to the bin system. It is just about familiarizing yourself with where the buttons are.
However effective they may be, there is one important factor that holds these smart bins back. Andrew Stephen, CEO of Sustainable Restaurant Association, explained, 'Traditionally, smart bin technology has been at quite a high price point for particularly small operators. There is only a relatively small part that can afford that upfront implementation (安装启用). ' It seems that smart bins are just one part of the solution to the pressing problem of food waste.
【1】What does the underlined word 'edible' in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.awful B.unnecessary C.delicious D.eatable
【2】The final aim of using smart bins is to ________.
A.change the menus B.make much food in advance
C.cut the food waste D.adjust the purchase of ingredients
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.People need to sort the waste before putting them into the bin.
B.The bin is connected to a supermarket self-checkout.
C.The weight of the waste can't be known through the bin.
D.Andrew Stephen was optimistic about the future of the bin.
【4】What's the disadvantage of the smart bins?
A.They can't keep an accurate record. B.They are too expensive.
C.They're too complicated to operate. D.They are not effective.
23、 The world is a big place, and there are many, many different places you can visit. 【1】
First of all, traveling allows us to escape our daily routines and expand perspectives, because seeing new places and gaining new experiences can broaden our perspectives.
Traveling is also the most valuable form of learning. 【2】 It helps us absorb information about other cultures.

What's more, traveling can have a direct effect on people's sense of happiness, and decrease their stress and anxiety. These improvements don't just disappear the moment travelers return to their daily lives. 【4】 As a result of travel, people change the way they communicate with others and learn to be more patient with others. Above all, people who frequently travel tend to be healthier and live a longer life.
【5】 We can escape our daily stress, expand our worldview, learn about others and ourselves, and improve our health. Many of the benefits people acquire from traveling improve the quality of their overall well-being. It is vital for people to visit different places, meet new people and discover a new way of living.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in schools. Senior school students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it. Surely，social practice has many advantages. Firstly，social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some precious social experience，which will be useful to their future career. Secondly，students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work，thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly，social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However，some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made. For example，some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn more money，thus neglecting their studies. And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society，which will affect their future values.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly，students should first know their objective. They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement (补充)，so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.
