21、 If you’re a cycling lover, you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain it well, for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches, dents (凹陷) etc. Sometimes, a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy. Sometimes, you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle.
Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part. One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame. You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time. Of course, you will see some paint scratches after some time. When you’re selecting a frame, you have to think about the material. Aluminium (铝) frames will not rust easily, but they have a higher chance to dent. Steel frames will be hard to dent, but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they won’t rust.
Wheels also experience a lot of wear and tear and you should go for a professional seller when you want to buy wheels. There are different types of wheels that you can buy, like Zipp wheels that provide more aerodynamic efficiency (空气动力学效能). Investing in new tyres instead of going for used is a good idea because you will be able to get more use out of it. The same goes for chain as there’s a higher chance of a used chain breaking. You may also experience shifting problems. However, some parts of bicycles such as pedals can be used for a long time and you can find different styles.
Other parts that you can buy used are seats, handlebars and the stem. When you are buying handlebars, you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape. There shouldn’t be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars. There are many shops where you can buy parts, so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything.
【1】According to the passage, cycling lovers should ________.
A．buy a new bicycle to keep up the performance
B．replace the bicycle parts with signs of wearing
C．choose Aluminum frames rather than steel ones
D．learn how each part of the bicycle basically works
【2】Which parts may be replaced by the used ones?
A．Wheels and chains.
B．Tyres and seats.
C．Handlebars and stems.
D．Frames and pedals.
【3】The underlined word “references” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A．materials
B．prices
C．introductions
D．comments
【4】This passage is most likely to be found in ________.
A．a research report

C．a tourist guide book
D．a product advertisement
22、 In an effort to fight the “throw - away culture” and promote reuse and repair, the city of Berlin has taken the unique step of opening its own secondhand department store.
This isn’t your grandma’s thrift shop (旧货商店). It resells perfectly good items that would otherwise be thrown away. A pun (双关)on the German words for “department store” and “conserving house”, B - Wa(h)renhaus sells a wide variety of products. Far from simply selling old items, the electronic goods have been fixed by expert technicians and come with year’s guarantee. And, to reach more secondhand shoppers, the store was set up right in the middle of the famous Karstadt department store.
With the success of its first six - month trial run, the city plans to open four more similar operations in other parts of Berlin. By 2030, it hopes to have at least one location in each of Berlin’s 12 districts. Since 2008, the city has reduced average annual household waste by about 25 pounds per resident. It also recycles about 49% of its mineral construction waste. Currently, the city estimates (估计) that 8% of abandoned electronic goods and 6% of huge items thrown away can actually be reused.
“Three years ago, we started collecting all kinds of used goods,” city spokesperson Dorothee Winden said. “The goal is to give these things a new life with somebody who can use them.”
【1】Why has Berlin opened its own secondhand department store?
A．To promote recycling.

23、Sharon, Age 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teacher will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school, I was really nervous and worried too, especially since I had been home schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don't worry.

25、Is love really blind? Yes, it is, at least when it comes to ________others, US researchers reported. College students who reported they were in love were less likely to ________other attractive men or women, the team at the University of California Los Angeles and dating Web site eHarmony found.
“Feeling love for your ________partner appears to make everybody else less attractive, and the emotion appears to enable you to push thoughts of that ________other out of your mind,” said Gian Gonzaga of eHarmony, whose study is published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.
“It’s almost like ________puts blinders (眼罩)on people,” added Martie Haselton, an associate professor of psychology and communication studies at UCLA.
Gonzaga and Haselton asked 120 undergraduates in committed relationships to ________photographs of attractive members of the opposite sex from an eHarmony Web site. The ________were asked to choose the most attractive photos, and write an essay either about their current lover, or the ________of their choice.
Those who wrote about their lovers were six times less likely to ________that they thought of the attractive others than volunteers who wrote about the people on ________photos.
And later asked to ________the good-looking people in the pictures, the students who wrote about their lovers remembered fewer details about the physical appearance of the attractive ________.
“These people could remember the color of a shirt or whether the photo was taken in New York ________ anything attractive about the person,” Gonzaga said.
“It’s not like their overall ________was hurt; it’s as if they had ________screened out things that would make them think about how attractive the alternative was.”
