21、From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. ”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained. ”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
【1】Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?
A.Risky.
B.Busy.
C.Tough.
D.Diverse.
【2】What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A.I introduced my family by mistake.
B.I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C.I couldn’t help introducing my family.
D.I gave wrong information about my family.
【3】What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?
A.The book’s writing feature.
B.Durrell’s rich imagination.
C.Some interesting plots of the book.
D.Some vivid descriptions of the island.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To share an experience.
B.To recommend a book.
C.To introduce a writing style.
D.To describe an unusual place.
22、The idea of “The Bookman” was born at the same time as Sam's daughter. An English teacher for 17 years, before that a journalist, Sam took parental leave to be at home with his new baby. “I was thinking what I can do to keep my brain ticking over, to maybe bring in some money,” explains Sam. “A glass of red wine later and I suddenly had it. I love books. Books have driven everything I've done.” Then he began to work as a bookman.
However, he didn't want to follow the standard book subscription model where everybody who signs up receives the same collection of books. Instead, he buys his books from independent booksellers and subscribers receive books that are selected just for them, depending on their own personalities. The model becomes a real hit and his customer base stretches across Europe, ranging in age from 4 to 95.
“The Bookman is all about sitting down with you and finding out what you like. It's not about what I like or what I think you should read. It's a personalised service.” Sam's consultation service is offered over the phone, by Zoom or through an email questionnaire.
During the pandemic (疫情), he offered free books to those who couldn't go out. “People in tough times are helpless, when they are starved of company, and desirable books are just for them. I want to do something that might make people feel better. Sam said. By the end of that first lockdown, he'd given out 350 books. Meanwhile, he got a lot back from it himself—lots of grateful cards and letters from extremely lovely people who were on their own and appreciated the company of a book.
He won't ever stop being The Bookman, picking out books for strangers, books he hopes they will love, books driven by his own passion for reading and sharing stories.
【1】What is probably a reason for Sam becoming a bookman?
A.His enthusiasm for books.
B.The love for writing stories.
C.His intention to sell more books.
D.The desire to change subscription model.
【2】What is special about Sam's service model?
A.Conservative.
B.Conventional.
C.Updated.
D.Tailored.
【3】What can we learn from Sam's experience in the pandemic?
A.Grasp all, lose all.
B.Love me, love my dog.
C.Nothing seek, nothing find.
D.Rose presented, smell remains.
【4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Books are the best company.
B.A bookman offered free books.
C.Books are the source of inspiration.
D.A bookman created a subscription model.
23、In Chinese cities, people in yellow or blue suits riding e-bikes are easy to see. They hurry between traffic, rushing from restaurants to homes and businesses, regardless of wind or rain. They are food delivery men.
Although they make our life more convenient, this can come at a cost for them. “【1】” This is the headline of an article in the Chinese magazine Portrait, which has ignited a discussion online recently. The title accurately echoes the author’s conclusion after interviewing dozens of people in the food delivery business.
The article pointed out that on food delivery service platforms Eleme and Meituan, the time limit and route for each delivery order is calculated by an algorithm. But the algorithm doesn't consider real-life situations, such as red lights, speed limits and fully occupied elevators. 【2】 In fact, the time limit for deliverymen has been gradually shortened in recent years.
【3】. So deliverymen speed up, often breaking traffic rules, putting not only their own lives at risk, but the lives of others as well.
Many people criticized the platforms and asked them to improve the regulations imposed on the deliverymen. In response, on Sept 9, Eleme announced it would add a button to the app. 【4】 But this only created more heated debate, as some felt that the company was escaping the problem and rounding about.
The Shanghai Customer Council commented that the move was illogical, adding that the deliverymen are following rules made by their employers. 【5】
A.Based on the algorithm, the deadline for a delivery order within 2 kilometers is 30 minutes.
B.Delay could mean a decrease in pay.
C.Problems should be solved between the companies and their employees.
D.Our convenience witnesses their sweat.
E.That's how deliverymen are pushed to no end of pessimism.
F.It allows customers to prolong the time limit for their order, and encouraged customers to show more respect for deliverymen.
G.The food deliverymen are trapped in the app.
24、People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds? Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate (激发) similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.
A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli” — which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music.
After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led to Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one.
“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shared dream, although not universally shared, “says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author.
The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true -it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.
【1】What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study?
A.Its relationship with China.
B.Its unique cultural background.
C.Its complex language system.
D.Its long musical tradition.
【2】What were the participants required to do after listening to music?
A.Exchange their comments on the scene.
B.Imagine musicians’ original inspiration.
C.Recall personal music-related stories.
D.Describe the picture forming in mind.
【3】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4?.
A.Strange.
B.Outdated.
C.Individual.
D.Impolite.
【4】What does the study find about music?
A.Culture matters when people hear music.
B.Music can bring participants all together.
C.Cultures determine preference for music.
D.Music’s effects can go beyond cultures.
