21、Public transport is in deep water in some countries. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A-train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. 【1】

Although transport agencies blame it on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. 【2】 Other upstarts like dock-less bicycles and battery powered “e-bikes” are also spreading. Mass transport, on the other hand, is much less flexible.

This is a headache for the operators of public transport systems. 【3】 But like it or not, public transport does some things very well. It provides a service for people who are too old, too young, too fearful or too drunk to drive or ride a bike. Trains and subways cause less pollution than cars and move people at far higher densities (密度).

So, how to deal with the problem? 【4】 Some cities have created congestion (拥堵) charging zones, but that is a hopelessly crude tool. Most congestion zones in effect sell daily tickets to drive around as much as you like within the zone—and charge vehicles such as taxis and minicabs nothing.

【5】 Although new forms of transport often compete with old ones, they ought to go well with each other. Taxi services and app-based cars could get people to and from airports and ports, which are often far from the urban core.

A．It is also a problem for cities.

B．It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.

C．Transport agencies should also accept the upstarts.

D．To some extent, pricing road use properly can be a solution.

E．But passenger numbers are flat or falling in many countries.

F．App-based taxi services are more convenient than trains or buses.

G．Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires joint efforts.

22、A different kind of food service app is allowing loyal customers to buy restaurant food at a low price before it goes into the waste bin.

Too Good To Go provides buyers with a bag of nearly wasted, but perfectly good food for takeaways as a way to cut back on food waste and help support the restaurant industry. Unlike other apps of a similar type that can allow customers to pick and choose which items they want to save, Too Good To Go offers only bags of whatever food the restaurants have. People will think it has a true enterprise spirit. The app is one of the several winners of Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas Award, which reports that 40% of the food in America is wasted.

It’s impossible to know how much food really will end up in landfills(垃圾处理厂)，but it’s possible to know how many meals Too Good To Go has prevented from going there. Originally sold only in a few selected American cities, 200,000 meals have been sold, and these meals can be thrown into the garbage in a few hours. And over 1, 500 restaurants have signed up in cities like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. At present, 150,000 orders are going out the door per day in 15 countries, across a user base of around 37 million people, saving incredible food waste.

It is also easier for the restaurants to deal with the leftovers since it’s not likely to guess and predict what will be available at the end of any night. Decomposing food in landfills is a major source of methane, which can cause climate-related damage before completely decomposing after a decade.

“We think we can save more than 2 million meals from the trash in the U.S. in 2021, avoiding thousands of tons of emissions.”said Lucie Basch, co-founder of Too Good To Go.

【1】What is special about Too Good To Go?

A．It provides buyers with a bag of leftover food for free.

B．It allows customers to select whatever food they want.

C．It limits consumers’ choices to the food the restaurants have.

D．It is the only app winning 2021 World Changing Ideas Award.

【2】What can we do with the app installed?

A．Find out the categories of the food wasted most.

B．Figure out how much food will end up in landfills.

C．Predict what food will be available in the restaurants.

D．Prevent more meals being thrown into the garbage.

【3】What does the underlined word “Decomposing” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Cutting down.

B．Breaking down.

C．Turning down.

D．Putting down.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．An app reducing food waste

B．An app distributing optional food

C．An app causing climate-related damage

D．An app promoting a true enterprise spirit

23、We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body’s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.

A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “He’s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues（问题）facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust”.

These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a country’s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.

However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.

If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

【1】According to the text, if you’re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called   .

A. the organ of Bai Du   B. the brain drain of Bai Du

C. the brains behind Bai Du   D. Bai Du’s brain trust

【2】Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because   .

A. he got his brain trust   B. he got the help of word experts

C. he was smart at giving advice   D. he was the brains behind America

【3】From the passage, we can infer that   .

A. to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of water

B. brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative way

C. brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of creativity

D. a country suffers a “brain drain” when educated people move to other countries

【4】The author explains the “brain” expressions by   .

A. making comments   B. making comparisons

C. using examples   D. analyzing origins
