21、A company in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, reportedly introduced an internal document requiring all employees to stop using iPhones. Those who continue using iPhones could lose their jobs while those who switch to Huawei would get subsidies, the document said.
Asked why, a senior company executive said the move was to ensure the security of information and commercial secrets, and to encourage all to support domestic brands. Some enterprises and agencies might have security concerns, but for the company involved that seems unlikely, and it seems to be more of a publicity ploy.
There have been instances in the past, too, of other private companies forbidding employees from using iPhones and insisting they support Chinese brands.
At a time when the United States government is forcing US companies to stop doing business with Huawei, it is good to see Chinese compatriots (同胞) supporting Chinese brands. However, it isn’t Apple that is stopping supplying chips and other high-tech parts to Huawei. It is US politicians. The president has also issued executive orders to shut down Tik Tok so as to force it to sell its US businesses to an American company.
The best way to support Chinese companies is to speak out against those US politicians. It is advisable, for example, to create awareness among friends in the US about the ways in which these politicians are harming both Chinese and US interests.
Boycotting US brands such as Apple is not at all advisable. It not only violates (侵犯) an individual’s personal right to choose what he or she likes, it also creates a lot of misunderstanding. Of course, organizations that deal with critical information can ask their employees to use domestic brands. But that must be done legally.
Even Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said that patriotism should not decide whether one wants an iPhone or a Huawei. He said that he had bought Apple computers for his family and that his company must learn from its competitors.
【1】The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A．jobs
B．bonus
C．punishment
D．compliment
【2】Why did the company require its employees to stop using iPhones according to its leadership?
A．They thought the company’s secret information might be stolen by iPhones.
B．They felt guilt and shame at using iPhones.
C．They had to obey the order of the local government.
D．They thought using iPhones was an act of showing off.
【3】According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that________.
A．some enterprises and individuals don’t use iPhones to take their patriotic stand
B．Apple is stopping supplying chips to Huawei
C．boycotting US brands is not at all wise and appropriate
D．Ren Zhengfei and his family also use Apple products
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．We Need to Unite Against Using iPhones
B．One Company Ploy Matters to One Country’s Future
C．Can’t Force Huawei to Be Apple of One’s Eye
D．Chinese Compatriots - Let’s Switch to Huawei

How have you gone above and beyond in your position over the past twelve months?【3】 Preparation puts you in the strongest situation possible.

I didn’t mention my limited budget. I didn’t talk about my needs. What I did was to tell the manager that my guests would come to her hotel, see its amazing facilities, and even consider hosting their own conferences there.【4】 My aim was to get a 20 percent discount. I got 30 percent. Win-win for all!

23、Climate Science fiction (cli-fi) authors have been exploring the impact of weather-gone-wild for decades. Here are a few of them that still ring true today.
The Crystal World
J. G. Ballard is often considered the godfather of cli-fi. The famous British author’s novels of the 1960s, including The Burning World, The Drowned World and The Wind From Nowhere, imagine terrible climate-based disasters.
But they’re all too gentle in nature compared with his first truly mature work, The Crystal World. In a sense, The Crystal World is a horror novel-instead of the horror happening to a person, it’s happening to Earth.
Hothouse
Brian Aldiss’ Hothouse—a series of short stories published in 1962-remains one of the most extreme visions of climate change. In it, Earth of the furthest future has changed so completely that it’s nearly unrecognizable. Humans struggle to survive in this strange world of heat waves—which, admittedly, isn’t very scientifically possible but is all the more wonderful because of Aldiss’ unbound imagination.
The Ice Schooner
The climate change in Michael Moorcock’s 1969 novel The Ice Schooner is man-made in a different way: It’s caused by a long, extreme winter that settles around Earth following a nuclear war. The book presents a world where a new ice age has resulted in a frozen planet. There’s nothing scientific about Moorcock’s setting. But it does warn, in its own way, of the disastrous climate change that humanity can bring to the world.
Ice
Anna Kavan’s Ice, like Ballard’s The Crystal World, is filled with far more symbolism than the typical early cli-fi novel. In the freezing environment of Kavan’s 1967 book, a nuclear war has led to massive global climate change that has turned the world into another Siberia.
【1】Which book contains the most frightening scenes?
A．The Burning World.
B．The Drowned World.
C．The Crystal World.
D．The Wind From Nowhere.
【2】Who wrote Hothouse?
A．Anna Kavan.
B．Brian Aldiss.
C．J. G. Ballard.
D．Michael Moorcock.
【3】What do the last two novels have in common?
A．They are based on scientific evidence.
B．They were published in the same year.
C．They are about heat waves in the world.
D．They imagine the results of a nuclear war.
24、Life is filled with regrets. Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we have made better choices. 【1】
Make better plans.
If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better.
You will know what comes first and what comes last. 【2】 If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life.
You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. 【3】 “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.
【4】
A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you have to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always give you better ideas. When you get into trouble, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.
Never fear failure.
Everybody fails. Even the greatest person fails before he or she achieves success. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. 【5】
Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better and work better when we have the chance to do so.
A．You also need to be kind.
B．We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
C．What can we do to avoid future regrets?
D．Regrets play an important part in our daily life.
E．You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do.
F．Ask others for help.
G．Find the right friend.

26、阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写150词左右的文章。
Researchers have found that learning two languages can greatly improve our mental development. For example, researches show us that bilingual experience helps us to rapidly make sense of information.
When given a task where children have to focus on one thing and ignore distracting information, bilingual children have shown themselves to the task. When they are asked to change their focus elsewhere, bilingual children also do this more effectively.
Focusing and changing attention are important abilities that go beyond bilingualism: This ability helps us to rapidly learn and progress information and function well in school and other learning environments.
