21、The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes, after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.
“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongging, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.
A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.
To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.
【1】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ________.
A．fake (假的) cell-phones
B．electronic products
C．Spring Festival Gala
D．Olympic buildings
【2】According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture means ________.
A．the action that a person imitates famous people
B．products with poor techniques and quality
C．anything that are copies of something famous
D．those similar names to famous brands
【3】We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.
A．is held back by “Shanzhai” culture
B．is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture
C．will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture
D．may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture
22、Team China’s teenage freeski superstar Gu Ailing had halfpipe gold wrapped up by her second run at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou. “I’ve never taken a victory lap before in my entire life, but this time I felt like I finally deserve it,” Gu told reporters after becoming the first athlete to win Olympic medals in all three freeski events. Her big victory at the 2021 X Games in Aspen, Colorado, where she won Big Air, halfpipe and slopestyle golds, increased the expectation level for her Olympic performance in Beijing.
Born in California to a Chinese mother, Gu began competing for China when she was 15 in 2019, stating her aim to inspire millions of young people during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and promote the sport she loves. Since then, the outstanding part-time model and grade-A student has been busy gaining records, titles and firsts. All the while her superstar status has snowballed, as evidenced by her millions of followers on social media.
The 18-year-old also clearly feels she has achieved much away from the sporting arena at Beijing 2022 and she has become the inspiration for many. “After reading hundreds of messages that I get every day from young girls saying that they go sking because of me and they want to keep going or they, you know, broke their boundaries in some other way and felt inspired by something that I said, I feel all those little things are immensely rewarding.”
When asked about her future plan, she had no idea whether she would continue to compete in freestyle skiing. “I’m going to do whatever feels right, and hopefully I’ll be able to create some kind of positive change out of any position that I'm in,” said Gu.
【1】Gu was the first athlete to________.
A．take a victory lap in the Olympics
B．gain three golds at the 2021 X Games

A．Gu has broken her boundaries.
B．Gu has achieved a lot in sking.
C．Gu has inspired many young girls.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

B．Skiing Changes People’s Lives
C．Gu, an Inspiring Olympic History Maker
D．Skiing, the Highlight of the Winter Olympics
23、Since You Need A Green Light
Truth is subjective.If there is one word of advice I would leave to my children it would be, you're better off being DIFFERENT. If the majority of people are doing something and you choose to be a part of it then you're probably on a fast track to self-destruction.
One of these disturbing changes I mentioned is the fact that my fellow oxvgen users allow themselves to be fooled so easily. It's almost as if no one can think on their own anymore.We let trends influence how we dress, talk and interact. Where I'm from, in the 90's you couldn't be caught dead with tight pants. Now, a couple of rap artist wear "skinny jeans" and it's okay? Now I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with wearing fitted clothing, but does media have to give you a green light for everything? Live your life for you.
Have you ever asked yourself, who defines your perspective of "cool?" When you see a commercial on TV advertising some new shoes that aren't economically friendly,are you interested in the actual design of the shoe or are you more concerned about how you are perceived wearing an expensive brand?
Currently,we seek that peace in the wrong places. Did you know that it's human nature to desire to be a part of something? Do you really want to be out all night drinking with the guys/girls? Who celebrates turning 33 with shots? Choose to be a part of something positive. Constantly seek to better yourself and your circle.
Life can be discouraging at times. We subconsciously corner our souls until the point where we have to escape by any means necessary. Even to the point of doing things we wouldn't normally do. Reaching the bottom of a 750ml bottle of Ciroc (a brand of alcohol)could be emotional survival. Same goes for participating in drugs and other escapes we've created.It's past time to wake up from your slumber(睡眠）。
Find your happiness. Not the temporary satisfaction from substance--less material things. Take a break from consulting your many Facebook psychologists. Think on your own for a change. Evaluate your current status and plan for where you want to be.

A.the general public

“I told Teddy he’s a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage,” Evelyn said．“But he asked, ‘Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?’ And I said, ‘Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared．’”

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Unshellfish love
Amid a slump in tourism, one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in visitors. So numerous are the hermit crabs thronging the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells for them to live in have become a scarce commodity. The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg. On December 5th these were distributed around the park in a ceremony marking the birthday of the late king, Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Hermit crabs rely on discarded shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow. On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made; pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as souvenirs. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “restore the balance of nature”. “I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration comes from the hiatus (间歇、空隙) in tourism brought on by covid-19. A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature rebound, bringing black-tipped reef sharks back into Thai waters and endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to mimic the respite (暂缓、休息) forced on it by the coronavirus in future. From now on, all national parks will be required to close for part of the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term, in the longer run more pristine (原始的、未开发的) parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
