It was back in 1981, and I saw many people gathered in someones front yard. As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV. I also bought a flashlight. The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldnt wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home. Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his re-sale business. Every few months I would gather several boxes of American junk- televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and send them home. As word got out about my fathers trash market, people all came to buy these things. Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of trash. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.31. According to the text, a yard sale is a place where people _.

Germany and Thailand C Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others, as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted(扭曲)one. Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be so different from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all! Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity(快速) and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed(展示) to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.39. Every county criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _. A. distorted B. normal C. similar to each other D. different from its own40. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will _. A. refuse to go back to his own way of life B. argue in favor of this country and the language C. know the country and its people better D. like its inhabitants and their language41. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often _. A. criticized as second-hand information B. gathered from other sources than its inhabitants C. gained from the arguments about the country D. different from what one had before the travel42. In the last paragraph the author wants to say that _. A. the ease of travel today helps peoples better understand one another B. differences between people are gradually disappearing without being noticed C. differences between people prevent people from getting to know one another D. people in Europe are actually not so different from those elsewhere in the world D A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects-the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects-the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing. Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more aware, the better you are. Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, wandering on street comers and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave. Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting with guts(胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact rather like the British in the early days of WWII. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run of WWII, and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?43. With this passage, the author intends to _. A. ask people to go to the cinema more often B. help people work more out of a film C. draw attention to the negative side of a film D. remind people of political background of films44. The last sentence in paragraph one probably means _. A. a good film is worth viewing more than once B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers C. a well-made film usually has more than one theme D. one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film45. Marion Brando is used in the passage as an example to prove that _. A. wanderers like to wear black leather and smoke B. films are responsible for the spread of smoking C. film stars can decide the fate of a fashion business D. films can sometimes change the way people behave46. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A well-made film. B. What makes a good film. C. The role a good film plays. D. The elements of a well-made film. E Can air pollution cause lung cancer? Thats the question many in China are asking as they snap up face masks to avoid breathing hazardous particles(颗粒) in the countrys often pewter-colored, polluted skies. The answer-like the air-isnt so clear. Health experts like Wang Ning, deputy director of the Beijing Office for Cancer Prevention and Control, say theyve seen a rise in a certain kind of cancer known as adenocarcinoma(恶性腺瘤) - which is characterized by duct formations and the production of mucus(黏液) that is tied to pollution - according to the China Daily. But others,including Martin Murphy,founder of cancer-focused nonprofit-the CEO Roundtable on Cancer-China, say there isnt enough scientific evidence to conclude that pollution itself is causing a rise in lung-cancer rates. China has seen a sudden increase in cancer in recent years, with about 3.12 million new cases developing annually, according to a 2020 report from the National Central Cancer Registry of China, which collected registry information across China from 2020. Lung cancer rates in particular have skyrocketed, making China the home to about 32% of the worlds lung-cancer patients, Dr. Murphy estimated. While rates of gastric(胃部的), esophageal(食管的) and cervical(宫颈的) cancer have declined in China over the last decade, lung-cancer rates are still rising, Dr. Murphy said. While it isnt clear whether the chronic smog that perpetually(长久地) troubles many Chinese cities is to blame, what is clear, Dr. Murphy said, is that smoking worsens any problems tied to air pollution. We have strong evidence that if you smoke and breathe polluted air, the likelihood of developing cancer is a degree of magnitude greater, he said. Air pollution also increases risks for other diseases, especially respiratory(呼吸的) and heart diseases, according to the World Health Organization, which classified outdoor air pollution as a carcinogen(致癌物质) last year. Tobacco use is also a leading killer in China. It causes l.2 million deaths annually and is
