21、UN Chinese Language Day is celebrated annually on April 20. The event was set up by the UN Department of Public Information in order to get equal use of all six of its official working language throughout the organization.

The first Chinese Language Day was celebrated in 2010 on the12th of November. But since 2011, the date has been the 20th of April. It’s because Chinese Guyu, which is the 6th of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, usually just begins around the date, April 20. Guyu is important to Chinese people. Each year they will celebrate Guyu in memory of the person: Cangjie, who was believed to create Chinese characters. There’s a story that when Cangjie created Chinese characters, it rained millet(粟)；Guyu in some way means “rain of millet”.

The Chinese Language Day for 2021 is especially to help people learn about Chinese characters based on symbols. In the building of the UN in New York, three events, which were organized by an organization connected to the UN, focused on three types of Chinese characters based on symbols. The three events were, a guided tour of the Liangzhu Museum, a language class on Dongba words, and a lecture on the history of Chinese characters. The three events were held from April 19 to 21, 2021.

Chinese was allowed to be an official language of the United Nations in 1946. However, in the early years, Chinese was not commonly used in the work of the United Nations. The situation improved after the restoration (恢复) of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971. And in 1973, the General Assembly(联合国大会) included Chinese as a working language. Then more and more UN offices and work members work with the Chinese language.

【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs ?

A．Chinese traditional 24 solar terms are well accepted all over the world.

B．The UN Chinese Language Day has been celebrated for over 13 year.

C．The UN Chinese Language Day was set up to preserve the Chinese language.

D．There are five other official working languages other than Chinese in the UN.

【2】Why was the UN Chinese Language Day moved to April 20?

A．To show respect for one solar term.

B．To promote Chinese characters.

C．To protect various Chinese dialects.

D．To support the equal use of Chinese language.

【3】What can we know about the three events?

A．They focused on helping people learn Chinese characters .

B．They were held in the building of the UN for four days.

22、The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.

In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.

Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.

The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.

Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.

23、British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work——The Underwater Museum of Cannes.

The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help, Taylor told Dezeen. ——Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.

The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.

Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides eliminating the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.

The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection. Taylor told Dezeen. ——If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.

【1】Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?

A．To popularize the features of the locals.

B．To remind people to protect themselves.

C．To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.

D．To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.

【2】What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．How the project was started.

B．How the sea grass was restored.

C．Why the surroundings were improved.

D．What recovery effort the project made.

【3】What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4?

A．recycling

B．removing

C．abolishing

D．assessing

【4】What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?

A．Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.

B．The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.

C．The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.

D．People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature

【5】What might be the best title for the text?

A．The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.

B．The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.

C．The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.

D．The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.

24、The Truth about the Joneses

You know the Joneses. Or maybe for you it's the Smiths, or the Millers. 【1】 They have nicer cars, fancier clothes and even cuter dogs.

But the Joneses may not be who you think they are. 【2】 Or they may just work really hard to build wealth. We'll say that again: The Joneses are either drowning in payments or deserving of their wealth.

So be happy for them or feel sorry for them. But don't try to keep up with them! 【3】 And you've had enough of all the bad feelings of your own life. You're ready to be happy where you are and to work for what you want. You're ready for contentment.

Contentment is a choice. It's having an attitude of joy when everyone else is attempting to buy happiness. So who cares if Mrs. Jones drives a luxury SUV with heated seats and keyless entry? Good for her. Your 10-year-old car gets you everywhere her sweet ride gets her.

【4】 It is something that's not visible to the Joneses of the world. They can't see the steady chunks of money you put in your emergency fund. Or the $15, 000 of debt you paid off. Or the retirement(退休)contributions you're about to increase.

But you know the significance of your actions.

【5】 You know your energy is better used for your own savings goals.

A.That only leads to dissatisfaction.

B.You may just want another reliable car.

C.They may be up to their eyeballs in debt.

D.At this point, you may still feel worried about looking good.

E.They're the people who have everything bigger and better than you do.

F.You've wasted enough energy keeping up with people you don't really care.

G.Right now you're doing whatever it takes to build a solid foundation for your family.

25、“I just don’t know what my mission in life is!” a friend told me. Her word _______ an old memory in me.

As a young dad, I was _______ just to get by. I was getting a few days’ work as a _______ teacher. Then near the end of the school year I got worried about the summer to _______ and the lack of work it would bring. The class had a bad _______ of summer break fever too.

I watched them run and play and _______ it would wear them out so the afternoon wouldn’t be as _______ as the morning had been on me. It was then, however, that a little girl ran up to me.
