21、To say that the face of aviation (航空) has changed beyond recognition over the past hundred years is accurate yet still an understatement. With about 500, 000 people in the air at any given time today, flying has become a much more accessible mode of transport than in the 1920s when extremely high fees restricted flying to wealthy passengers.
The inside of aircraft has changed dramatically too. Cabins (机舱) in the 1920s were loud and cold as planes were constructed of metal sheets that did not preserve heat.
While the very first scheduled commercial passenger service set off between Tampa, Finland and St Petersburg in 1914, it took until the 1920s for commercial fights to really gain ground. The lack of commercial activity in aviation was reflected in the state of world airports at the turn of the 1920s, with the vast majority simply being open dirt fields. Hydrogen- fuelled (以氢为燃料的) airships began to appear in the skies in large numbers after the close of the First World War in 1919, and it was with the help of these aviatic giants that world flying records were broken.
By 1929, the first round-the-world fight was completed by the German- made Graf Zeppelin, which took 12 days across four stages. Owing to repeated deadly accidents hydrogen-fuelled airships were soon phased out. 1922 saw the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic by two Portuguese pilots who flew from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro in stages. It took them 79 days to complete the 5, 200-mile journey. Today, a direct flight takes just over nine hours.
COVID-19 saw commercial air traffic decline to record lows, but as travel picks up again the pressure over the future of air travel remains to be climate change. As environmentally conscious travellers look towards train or bus travel as alternatives, airlines have started taking measures such as shifting to Sustainable (可持续的) Aviation Fuel.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Commercial flights gained ground in 1914.
B．The ticket for a flight is much more affordable now.
C．Planes used to be poorly constructed to save the cost.

【3】In which section of a magazine might this passage appear?
A．Travel.
B．Technology.
C．Environment.
D．Entertainment
【4】What’s the author’s writing purpose?
A．To advertise more accessible and sustainable flights.

23、 Blue Planet II’s latest episode (剧集) focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastics.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — taken collectively, really do make a difference.
【1】Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C.The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D.Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
【2】The writer gives many numbers in Paragraph 3 to ______.
A.prove the threat of plastic to marine life
B.explain reasons for plastic pollution
C.describe his own experiences and feelings
D.compare the differences between sea creatures
【3】What can we infer about climate change?
A.Climate change is caused by human activities.
B.Some people cast some doubts about climate change.
C.Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
D.Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Plastic is a global issue arousing wide concern.
B.The oceans have been seriously polluted by plastic.
C.Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.
D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
24、 Wang Tao, a Chinese fashion designer, released her fall-winter 2019 collection in New York on February 9, the tenth time her brand, Taoray Wang, has been featured at the New York Fashion Week.
Sitting on the front row of the show were U. S. President Donald Trump's younger daughter Tiffany Trump with her mother Marla Maples, as well as former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Tiffany Trump, a fan of Taoray Wang, wore a white double-breasted coat by Wang to her father's inauguration（就职典礼）ceremony in January 2017.
Wang's latest collection, Eternity, is partly inspired by Tiffany Trump. In this collection, Wang combines the unconventional beauty of the 1970s, represented by famous American model Lauren Hutton and the female look favored by people such as Tiffany Trump.
The two women are from two different age groups with two different styles but both are confident and brave, said Wang while attending her show in Manhattan. "Beauty is not about time or age. It's all about attitude."
Along with China's growing economic strength, Chinese fashion has gradually gained worldwide attention, said Wang, adding that only when more and more foreigners wear clothes designed by Chinese people, will it mean a real rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage.
Wang has a diverse background. With a degree in history from East China Normal University in Shanghai, Wang got a second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen, where she received five international awards in design. She was selected by Junko Koshino—a well-known Japanese designer, to head the studio as the chief men's designer.
To realize her global career ambitions, Wang then left Japan to go to the UK where she worked as a leading designer. In 2002 she returned to China and led the repositioning of broadcast: bo, making it one of the top 10 Chinese women's labels. Wang is currently a board member of the Shanghai Ribo Fashion Group.
