21、My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.

22、Nobody likes waiting in long lines at amusement parks, especially when you are with babies. Disneyland or Disney World are known for their splendid rides, attractions and large crowds as well. The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting on lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority.
Until recently, both parks have made use of the FastPass system to keep guests moving. On certain rides, park-goers could obtain a ticket that allowed them to come back within a specific time window. At that point, they would wait on a special line for seating. As explained in a recent YouTube share, the system worked similarly to a real queue. Instead of waiting in line, guests could continue to explore the park and, most importantly for Disney, spend more money at shops and restaurants.
While the FastPass system became popular, usage ended during the recent pandemic (流行病). With both the California and Florida theme parks operating at reduced visiting number, the space taken up by FastPass kiosks was instead used for socially distanced lines.
In its place, Disney has developed a new planning tool called Disney Genie. The online app, which became available in Disney World in October, allows guests to create a path for their visit. By using park data that’s updated throughout the day, the app will help guests plan out their visit so that they can hit the rides and attractions that they want in the most convenient way. Guests using the app pay an extra fee and get the option to book the next available time to ride select attractions.
【1】What may upset most visitors of Disney?
A.Fewer attractions.
B.High prices at restaurants.
C.Poor equipment in theme parks.
D.Waiting in lines for most of the time.

A.Lower ticket fees.

23、A major new facility to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere has started operating in Iceland, which is a boost to an emerging technology that experts say could eventually play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases.
The plant in southwest Iceland is the biggest of its kind, its builder says. It is able to capture 900 tons of CO2 every year but it needs heat and electricity to work. It is using energy produced from waste and is built on the roof of a waste incineration plant, and through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated.
Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes. They take CO2 out of the air, catching it in sponge like filters(过滤器). The filters are blasted with heat freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped deep into deep underground basalt caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone. Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it. The makers are also selling the gas to be used again. The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away. It is pumped through an underground pipe line directly into a greenhouse. Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.
By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral(碳中和) goals, according to International Energy Agency recommendations. The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4,000 metric tons annually—just a small amount of what will be necessary, but one that Clime works, the company that built it, says can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.
【1】What does the underlined word “boost” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Promotion.
B.Advertisement.
C.Decrease.
D.Innovation.
【2】What do we know about the new facility ?
A.It uses waste to get power.
B.It is built at high water level.
C.It makes Iceland free of air pollution.
D.It produces lots of heat during operation.
【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.The ways of breaking down CO2.
B.The approaches to reusing waste gas.
C.The necessity of building greenhouses.
D.The workings of the carbon-catching plant.
【4】What can be expected from the direct air capture technology?
A.Decreasing the cost of energy production.
B.The rapid reduction of CO2 levels in the air.
C.The early realization of the carbon neutral goals.
D.The disappearance of the traditional carbon treatment.
24、Competition in the Olympics should be between athletes who use their own strength or speed. If some athletes don’t follow the rules, it ruins the fun for everyone connected with the game. It also gives an extremely unfair advantage to the athlete using the drug.
———Jim from Atlanta
Drug use among top athletes has long been a problem.Without drug testing, the Olympics would be about who uses the most drugs, not who trains the hardest and has the most athletic skills.Also drugs hurt people and they could even kill people.
———David from Houston
Why should athletes be allowed to compete when it’s not really them who are actually competing? It’s the drugs that do all the work. Athletes who use drugs are like runners with skates. It’s cheating and irresponsible, which must be strictly forbidden. It’s unfair to other competitors who don’t use drugs.
———Bruce from Chicago
Most sports athletes are held to a standard of being drug free. Olympians should not be held any differently.They take part in highly competitive sports for their country and win medals for it.Testing the athletes for drugs must be done in every country and every sport. No drug testing would be unfair to people who don’t use drugs.
———Sam from Los Angeles
Although popular opinion is against athletes’ using drugs, I believe they do help make the Olympic sports more wonderful.I enjoy seeing human beings achieving things that couldn’t be done with normal conditioning.I enjoy seeing stronger, faster and longer performances by make good use of drugs.
———Jack from New York
