AA popular TV host has reportedly invested about US$ 740,000 in a project to research, preserve and promote the Hunan provincial dialect (方言). Chinese TV presenters are required to speak Mandarin, or Putonghua, as part of their work, but should dialects be allowed on air?Bcnu (China): TV and radio stations have the right to decide whether dialects or Mandarin will be used in their programs. The popularity of some dialects in some areas will not challenge the leading role of Mandarin in the whole country.Rick N (US): TV and radio broadcasters should take the lead in popularizing Mandarin. To require hosts to speak standard Mandarin is not to oppress (压制) dialects, but it only aims to restrict irresponsible use of language. I think it is unprofessional for some hosts particularly to imitate the pronunciation of dialects.Cooper (UK): Dialects are an important part of local culture and now many kids even don’t know how to speak their dialects because of the main use of Mandarin around them. It would be a pity if future generations were unable to understand the local dialects. It would be a terrible break in cultural traditions.Steve (France): To attract viewers or make more money, some hosts casually use dialects. Demanding TV and radio programs use Mandarin is a move to limit strange and irresponsible use of language, whether it is Mandarin or other dialects. In this way, the decision is also a form of protection for dialects. Hearing standard Mandarin on TV and radio programs is also a basic right of audiences around the country.21.Why does the author mention a popular TV host?A. To make clear the author’s viewpoint.B. To introduce the topic to be discussed.C. To set an example for people to follow.D. To show dialects are likely to disappear.22. What affects dialects negatively according to Steve?A. Ma ss media’s using dialects casually.B. Improper pronunciation of dialects.C. Restrictions on speaking dialects publicly.D. Children’s losing interest in dialects.23. Who favors dialects on air?A. Bcnu and Steve.B. Bcnu and Cooper.C. Rick N and Steve.D. Rick N and Cooper.BA DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid (平淡的) life and a pair of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I get out there. I decided to become a hostess.It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I called my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather and living conditions there, I became more independent.Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticized all my mistakes. Grievance (委屈) and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my cheeks. To get her recognition, I practiced my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy days. You can’t imagine how happy I wa s when she praised me for the first time.My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn’t have had the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colorful every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!24.Why did the author feel her life was insipid in the beginning?A.B ecause she desired a better future.B. Because she was scared of pressure.C. Because she felt that life was dull.D. Because she had no goal.25.How did the writer overcome the difficulties she met in Jinan?A. By calling her parents often.B. By practicing her voice in a park every day.C. With her persistence and adaptability.D. With her courage and confidence.26.What does the underlined “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?A. Her courage and the confidence to host the party.B.H er getting the teacher’s praise for the first time.C.H er becoming more independent.D.H er doing well in the arts examination.27.Which is the best title for the passage?A.D reams are difficult to develop.B.H ow to achieve your dream.C.R ealizing Your Dream Is Not Easy.D.A Dream will light your approach to success.CImagine being a business that regularly takes huge quantities of your own products worth millions of pounds and burns them up. Your stock literally goes up in smoke. It sounds crazy, but the practice is common fo r some of the world’s biggest clothing manufacturers. They argue that it is the most cost-effective way of maintaining their brand’s exclusivity（独特性）.The clothes that are burned are those that do not sell at a high enough price. Rather than watch them go on sale, the companies would set fire to them and regain a small amount of energy.Nobody knows exactly how much unsold stock is burnt annually by those fashion houses, but burning clothes has various negative impacts on the environment. For example, burning clothes made from artificial fibers may release plastic microfibers into the atmosphere, which worsens global warming. A U.K. parliamentary committee report on sustainability and the fashion industry advises the government to ban the burning of unsold stock if it can be reused or recycled.Actually, there are other approaches. What if those companies had a section tasked with taking back unsold clothes, redesigning them into new products, and shipping out the new products to the market once again?There is also now an opportunity to focus on biodegradable (可生物降解的) fabrics. Clothes that break down faster might not have to be burned. They would also appeal to those who care about the environmental impact of their own wardrobes.Additionally, we have an over-production problem. According to the World Bank, while clothing sales have risen steadily since 2000, clothing utilization has fallen at roughly the same rate. For every extra T-shirt that is sold, it will be worn roughly half as much as it would have been 20 years ago. That means better forecasting market trends would in theory result in less waste.Burning clothes won’t happen simply through fashion firms. The scale of fashion production has to change. And it’s important to recognize that these consumer-focused brands will only go where the market takes them. If protecting the environment really matters to the public, they have to make clear that they want more sustainable clothing in the first place. Without consumers demanding that, it won’t change.28. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about___________.A. how important the U.K. parliamentary committee report isB. why fashion firms should end burning unsold stockC. why fashion firms burn unsold clothes in large numbers every yearD. how artificial fabrics will contribute to global warming29. The underlined expression “clothing utilization” in the 6th paragraph means _____.A. how long clothing lastsB. how well clothing sellsC. how often clothing is usedD. how clothing is designed30.All the following possible solutions are mentioned in the passage to deal withunsold clothes except______A. Making consumers feel better about their purchases.B Redesigning and making them into new clothes..C. Conducting research on market demand before production.D. Making clothes out of environmentally-friendly materials.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Burning clothes is a better option for every fashion firm.B. Consumers play a key role in stopping burning clothes.C. The secret that some fashion firms burn clothes is well kept.D. Today’s clothes are better than those two decades ago.DSelf-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations, and on all types of roads. However, most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways, where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk .But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential dangers. They largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a self-driving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate（评估）a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation（航空）shows that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore, comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety, it's important to ensure the data being presentedactually provide a true comparison. After all, choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.32. What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven carsunfair?A. Self-driving cars never get tired.B. Machines can make decisions faster.C. Self-driving cars know the world better.D. Statistics are collected differently.33. In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?A. Climbing steep slopes.B. Driving steadily.C. Evaluating the cost of loss.D. Making complex decisions.34. Why does the author write this text?A. To support human-driven cars.B. To show his doubt about self-driving cars.C. To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.D. To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.35. What is the text type of the passage?A. A narrativeB. A descriptionC. An argumentD.
