21、For years, Hainan, China's southernmost island province, has been an attractive tourist destination for people around the world because of its pleasant environment. Beginning this year, the beautiful island will have a new identity — an open and distinctive free trade port.
The Hainan Free Trade Port will serve as a special functional economic area and its level of openness will be better than any other port in the world. Products and funds from abroad will have free access to the port, and most goods will be duty-free. The decision shows China's willingness to further open up to the world.
The province of Hainan was founded in 1988. Later it became an appointed special economic (SEZ) to attract foreign investment. In 1992, the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, which was the first area in China to be comprehensively developed by foreign investors, was established. After eight years, in 2000, Hainan took the lead in carrying out a policy of visa on arrival. In the following years, a series of similar initiatives have been implemented for Hainan's continuous development, including a pilot zone for free trade founded in 2018.
Apart from an attractive landscape, Hainan's industrial structure features tourism and modern services. Not only will they become the highlights of the free trade port, but also they are in line with the rapid trade growth in global services as well as the development of many ports toward the service sector. In addition, as a free trade zone and port at provincial level, Hainan has a satisfying scale and full experience. All these advantages will enable Hainan to become a global trade center.
From SEZ to free trade pilot zone, and now today's free trade port, Hainan's development and its determination to build an open economy are evident to all. It's hoped that it will seize the chance of free trade and attract more business and experienced professionals from around the world to come to the island.
【1】What's Hainan's future plan?
A.To construct a free trade port.
B.To boost Hainan's tourism and services.

D.Its distinctive service industry.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Hainan: A Push for Global Economy
B.Hainan: A Witness to China's Opening-Up
C.Hainan: An Island Full of Ups and Downs
D.Hainan: An Unforgettable Tourist Destination
22、 Every year, countless individuals are impacted by cancer. Our goal is to walk away from cancer as we give strength to those fighting this life-threatening disease. Walk Cancer Away invites everyone to participate in our annual family friendly walk event and join together to share the strong will power found inside each of us with those around us. With each step we take, with each story shared, and with each donation made we are one step closer to finding a cure.

Her efforts and that of her team at MSKCC are focused on researching to overcome the disease and find a cure.
Together, they have made great achievements over the years and have provided years of life for those who face adversity.
In many cases, their continued efforts have led to full remission of the cancer in patients. With the deepest gratitude we are thankful to all those who support and participate in the event each year, because without you this would not be possible.

23、When it comes to President Obama,most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha,however,has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House,as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips,even if it's not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend,and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports:one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服)before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables,and if they say they are not hungry,they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some,Michelle said,“They're not little princesses. It's just basic rules,boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家务),though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team,how to lose and how to win gracefully.
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
【1】What's the passage mainly about?

24、In the U. S., people eat more protein than they need to, which might not be bad for human health, but does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers from protein digestion: nitrogen compounds(氯化合物) that can feed harmful algal blooms(藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water.
Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater—some 67 to 100 precent—is a by-product of water people consume.
Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms(微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones,” where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.
Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term.
【1】Which aspect of Americans’ diet does Almaraz’s research focus on ?
A.Its variety.
B.Its effect.
C.Its make-up.
D.Its amount.
【2】What causes “dead zones” in the water?
A.No oxygen for many species.
B.Death of lots of healthy algae.
C.Microorganisms’overconsumption of nutrients.
D.Poisonous chemicals released by harmful algae.
【3】What is the problem with current algal bloom treatment methods?
A.They are costly.
B.They may kill all algae.
C.They are slow to take effect.
D.They may cause secondary pollution.
【4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.It is high time to treat wild algae growth.
B.Eating too much protein harms the planet.
C.Prevention is better than cure in treating air pollution.
D.Researchers find solutions to the wastewater problem.
25、Standing before the gift box, my girls—Drew, 3, and Blair, 5—asked me repeatedly, “Why can’t we ______ the toy bear?” I was directing them to ______ the nicely wrapped present to the needy children. Even though I had explained many times to them that some families were ______ money and they needed our help, they still ______ to give away their beloved toy. My constant efforts led to a lot of ______ and even more than a few tears.
An idea occurred to me. Why hadn’t I just put the toy in the gift box by myself? ______, it would have been easier and saved the trouble. But soon I ______. Could it help me turn my girls into the ______, community-serving ladies I expected them to grow up to be?
If my kids put the toy in the gift box themselves, they would see what a ______ they could make in this world. I surely couldn’t ______ this great teaching moment. I didn’t give them a(n) ______, but decided to bring them back for the moment. I began to schedule weekly visits to a nursing home and take a volunteer service vacation because I knew the only way our children learnt to care and ______ was to teach by example. Once children were exposed to helping other people, it started to become a habit, and even a(n) ______.
Finally, my girls decided to ______ the toy. When Drew put the present in the box and turned toward me, I saw a huge, bright smile on her face. “I want to put ______ presents in it!” she said. “Yeah, Mommy,” her older sister Blair cut in excitedly. “How cool you are!” I could proudly tell that they had been addicted to giving.
