21、   Mo Yan, a well-known Chinese writer, won the Nobel Prize for literature(文学) in 2012. He was also the first Chinese writer who got this prize in history. When he was interviewed, he said he was only a normal person who could tell stories. He especially thanked his mother. He thought his mother had a strong influence(影响) on him.

Mo Yan was born in a poor family in China’s rural area(农村地区). When he was young, he was a little bit shy because he thought he wasn’t good-looking. His classmates often played jokes on his look. That made him very upset. His mother encouraged him to face the fact bravely. She told him not to look down on(看不起) himself. She said it didn’t matter if a person didn’t have a good look and it was important to work hard and never give up. She hoped that his son would be a useful person in society(社会).

Mo Yan didn’t let her mother down. He worked hard at writing.. He wrote many famous novels. Such as Hong Gao Liang(《红高粱》) and Wa (《娃》). His success tells us a truth, “Nobody can beat you unless you beat yourself.” Hold on to your dream and your dream will come true in the end.

22、When I was a boy my mum used to say I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me, I always have at least one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read-in the bath.

But the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading?

The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads? For younger people, books may not be as exciting as online games. With stories you have to work at it, closely follow the turns of the plot (情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.

But you can still get lost in a book. We all have this thing called imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that any online game was first written in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.

So we need to read-if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.

So why not follow me from now on? Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours-there are quite many, for free, in your local library.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．The writer used to enjoy playing with a medicine bottle.

B．The writer has had the reading habit since his childhood.

C．The writer always has two or three books in his hand.

D．The writer often reads books at a table on the subway.

【2】The number of people reading books is dropping because ______.

A．books are becoming less interesting

B．technology has greatly influenced our life

C．25% of Americans don’t read books

D．there aren’t enough printed books to read

【3】What does the word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean in Chinese?

A．捷径

B．理念

C．缺点

D．短文

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．Reading can help to develop our imagination.

B．All online games were first written in words.

C．We need to think a lot while reading a book.

D．Younger people prefer books to online games.

【5】In the last paragraph, the writer mainly suggests that we should ______.

A．run a hot bath to read books

B．borrow books from the library

C．read more books in our life

D．read books in a comfortable chair

23、Travelling is Jane’s favourite. She has been to many places of interest in the world with her family. Last year they went to London.

It was an early Friday morning. They took a taxi to the train station and took a train to London. When they arrived in London, they visited the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, the British Museum and many other places of interest. They enjoyed themselves in London for a week. They had a lot of interesting experiences during the trip. The most interesting one was that they met a parrot in a pet shop. In the pet shop, they saw a parrot with a red string tied (系) to its left leg and a green string tied to its right leg. They asked the owner why the parrot had these strings tied to its legs. “Well, this is a well trained parrot. If you pull the red string, he speaks English; if you pull the green string, he speaks French,” answered the shop owner.

24、   Chinese people are eating too much salt. On average, people in China eat about 10. 5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended(建议)by Chinese Dietary Guidelines(2016).

China now has one of the highest salt intakes(摄入量) in the world. To fix this, China had the first salt reduction(减少) guide for its food industry.

If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques(技术) and adjusting(调整) flavors.

The salt we take in mainly comes from processed(加工的)food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips has about 0. 66 grams of salt in it, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kangshifu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.

A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks(心脏病)and strokes(中风)， the Xinhua News Agency reported.

Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, your taste buds(味蕾) will gradually get used to it and you will feel that your food tastes the same as it did before.

【1】What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the second paragraph?

A. The average salt intake. B. The highest salt intake.

C. The lowest salt intake. D. The recommended daily salt intake.

【2】What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. Salt is bad for our body. B. Processed food has much salt.

C. Processed food is delicious. D. Salt mainly comes from China.

【3】What will happen if people eat too much salt?

A. It causes some illnesses. B. It is better for our health.

C. It may make us run faster. D. It will help us improve our skills.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. China now has one of the lowest salt intakes in the world.

B. Chinese people love eating salt very much.

C. We usually like buying sweet food.

D. People should eat less salt.
