21、Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina in the trash (垃圾) 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods and seeing books abandoned by the rich. It ignited his desire to start rescuing books from the trash. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
In Colombia’s capital city of Bogota, libraries tend to be far away from poorer communities. The option of buying new books is non-existent for poor families and having access to a library of books is a luxury. Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him.
Today, his community library, “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of over 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library is open every weekend, and children in Gutierrez’s neighbourhood are allowed to look through the book collection. Adults are also welcome to expand their vision and develop new skills for a better life.
Today, the Gutierrez family doesn’t merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create more safe spaces for school children to spend their time reading. This is important for kids living in Bogota where many young people waste time in the streets.
Gutierrez’s journey to give treasure back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution. How might we take a leaf out of Gutierrez’s book?
【1】What does the underlined word “ignited” mean in paragraph 1?
A.Satisfied.
B.Ignored.
C.Excited.
D.Expressed.
【2】What do we know about Gutierrez’s library?
A.It aims to recycle and reuse the garbage.
B.It is sponsored by wealthier communities.
C.It is in the charge of his passionate mother.
D.It makes knowledge accessible to poor kids.
【3】What message does the last sentence convey?
A.We should value Gutierrez’s spirit of paying back.
B.We can follow Gutierrez’s example to help others.
C.We should go to visit Gutierrez’s library personally.
D.We can donate deserted books to Gutierrez’s library.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.From Trash to Treasure

22、By now, most people know we should eat more vegetables. But are there some ways to help us get more from the vegetables? A research conducted by Ohio State University shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw (生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers from Ohio State University found that 198 Germans who eat raw vegetables were short of lycopene(番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University, “but for vegetables, a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
In fact, many factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. Cooking is just a way to make the vegetables healthy to us.
So which cooking way is the best? It’s hard to say. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking when they are cooked in different ways. For example, Vitamins C and B are often lost. “Boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.” says Professor Clinton.
What is cooked with the vegetables can also be important. When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better. Putting on some other things — a little salt — can make the food taste better.
【1】What does the research conducted by Ohio State University find?
A.People should eat more vegetables.
B.Eating vegetables is good for people.
C.The way people eat vegetables is important.
D.How much vegetables people should eat in a day.
【2】What will happen to the people who eat raw vegetables for long according to the research by Ohio State University?
A.They will have heart disease.
B.They will have eyes problems.
C.They will like eating tomatoes.
D.They will be in need of lycopene.
【3】What does Professor Steven K Clinton suggest?
A.Eating raw foods.
B.Eating vegetables that are cooked.
C.Eating frying carrots.
D.Boiling raw foods.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.It’s better to cook vegetables with fat.
B.It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt.
C.The fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables.
D.The more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat.
23、You may have recently heard of NFT technology, which permits digital works of art to be collected and sold for millions of dollars.
But why would people pay so much money for something they cannot even touch? And what is driving the current rise in NFTs? 【1】
What is an NFT?
NFT stands for non-fungible token(非同质化代币). 【2】 It is based on a technology called blockchain (区块链), which is also used with digital currency systems known as cryptocurrency.
What kinds of things are NFTs?
【3】 They are usually bought with electronic money. The form of digital currency mainly used with NFTs is called ether. NFTs have been used to sell sports videos, pieces of land in worlds that only exist on computers and even the first-ever tweet by Twitter's founder.
What do critics say about NFTs?
Critics note that traditional art, like a painting, can be placed on a wall and looked at. 【4】 They point out that even though an artist can “own” a digital piece, others can easily save a copy of the same work as a file on their computer.
What are some prices for NFTs?
In February, a 10-second video showing an image of former U. S. President Donald Trump sold on an NFT marketplace for over $6 million. The first-ever published tweet from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey recently sold for nearly $3 million.
【5】
It is too early to say if NFTs are good investments. But so far, many people have items that are worth more than what they paid for them. This is no guarantee, however, that such buyers will be able to sell their digital objects for a profit.
A.But digital art is different.
B.Why do people like NFTs?
C.Are NFTs good investments?
D.It is something that only exists in the digital world.
E.NFTs can exist in the form of images, video, music and text.
F.Here are some basics to help you understand the technology.
G.An NFT can be attached to other things existing in the digital form.
24、The groundbreaking Shaoxing Opera adaptation, New Dragon Gate Inn, captures the interest of a new generation and brings the ancient art form for contemporary lifestyles back to life.
Unlike the traditional framed stage, the theater is designed as an inn, with the audience becoming guests. They sit close to the performers, engaging with them, and immersing themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. “This places new demands on our performers,” said Xu Yena, who acts in the show as the A cast of Jin Xiangyu, the landlady of the inn. “We need to abandon many of the stylized movements from traditional Shaoxing Opera and learn from drama and film performances, adopting a more natural, authentic, and subtle acting style.”
Upon leaving the theater, these audience members feel a sense of satisfaction that prompts them to willingly share short clips of the performance online. The fragmented (零碎的) content of performance has generated many streams and clicks, leading to high demand for show tickets, especially among young audiences. “Now, the ticket competition has become fierce and only those with fast internet access can get them,” said Chen Lijun, who plays the important supporting role of Jia Ting.
As both Xiaobaihua (a Shaoxing Opera troupe (剧团)) and Japan’s renowned Takarazuka Revue are all-female troupes, some internet users have drawn parallels between the two, likening Chen to “China’s Amami Yuki”, a former acclaimed male-role actress in the Japanese troupe.
In response, Chen said, “All good performances are worth learning from. Our two troupes share many similarities, but there are also fundamental differences, rooted in the cultural heritage of our respective theatrical traditions.”
A report by Xinhua News Agency states that Generation Z makes up 74 percent of consumers of guochao goods or China-chic goods last year. As a cultural product, New Dragon Gate Inn has successfully won the hearts of the young generation due to the contemporary nature of the show.
“Shaoxing Opera once borrowed and learned from Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera. Today, we draw inspiration from a broader range of artistic forms and expression techniques,” Xu said.
“New Dragon Gate Inn has successfully drawn many nontraditional theatergoers, particularly young people. Seeking novelty has always been what Shaoxing Opera has been doing.”
【1】Who became a new challenge for the performers while they were acting in Shaoxing Opera?
A.The internet users making comparison online.
B.The other troupe performing more natural and authentic.
C.The audience positioned right next to the performers.
D.The guests immersing themselves on the central stage.
【2】How did Chen respond to her nickname “China’s Amami Yuki”?
A.By joyfully accepting it.
B.By objectively clarifying it.
C.By politely denying it.
D.By respectfully using it.
【3】According to Xu Yena, Shaoxing Opera has made a positive step in regaining its popularity, mainly depending on__________.
A.Adaptation and advertisement.
B.Specially designed theater.
C.Actresses’ popularity online.
D.Integration and innovation.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Generation Z Dominates The Market of Guocao.
B.New Dragon Gate Inn Returns to Live Stage.
C.Shaoxing Opera’s Modern Twist Wows Youth.
D.Nontraditional Theatergoers Flood into Theater.
