China is facing seriously traffic problems. Too much cars travel on the roads. This heavy traffic causes delays and a plenty of air pollution. Although many cities in China have traffic problems, some of the worse are in Beijing. One of the reason why there is so much traffic is what only a small number of people use public transportation.

I think one way solve the traffic problems was to make people use the public transportation system. For example, they can take buses instead of drive cars. Meanwhile, the government should make them more reliable and convenient to travel by bus.

The United Nations is not only committed to     1     (protect) people. It looks after places, too. One of the aims of UNESCO—the United Nations Educational, scientific and Cultural Organization—which was founded in 1946, was to protect places     2     great cultural importance.

Its first major task was in the 1950s,    3     it launched a campaign to protect two ancient Egyptian temples which were going to be     4     (complete) flooded with the     5     (construct) of the huge Aswan Dam. The temples     6     (take) to pieces and rebuilt on dry ground.50 countries donated money to the project. Its success led to other projects to protect Venice, in Italy,    7     unique city built on water, and Moenjodaro, in Pakistan, one of the cradles of civilization.

If a site is put on the List of World Heritage in Danger, it means that it will receive money from the World Heritage Fund to help protect it. However, countries must make as much effort as they can     8     (look) after their special places and preserve the world’s     9     (remain) cultural and     10     (nature) heritages for the future.

6 . When you are choosing a major in the future, will you place a higher value on its future career or on its personal interest to you? Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Hunan province who scored 676 points in total on this year’s college entrance exam, preferred the latter as she applied to study archaeology (考古学) at Peking University.

However, there was a heated debate concerning whether she had made a wise decision. Some netizens argued that she wouldn’t have a promising future unless she chose a more popular major—for instance, finance, engineering, business, etc.—instead of archaeology. What’s more, considering the financial burden on her family, she had better think twice before making her final decision.

The girl later responded that she had been inspired to pursue archeology by Fan Jinshi, president of Dunhuang Academy, and that she had developed a passion for history and cultural relics (遗址). She also added that she cared little about fame and fortune.

Zhong has increased my confidence because of her attitude towards life. Firstly, she knows clearly what she is really interested in and is determined to devote herself to it. Secondly, Zhong has been able to stick to her pursuit despite the criticism from society.

Zhong’s pursuit reminds me of a lady who walks on a country road and lives in poetry—Li Ziqi. They both try their best to be who they want to be, which is rare and admirable nowadays.

Just ask yourself: Do you have the courage not to follow the pattern that the majority of people repeat? Actually, applying for an unpopular major may help you to avoid fierce competition. And the pursuit of a popular major is no guarantee for a brilliant future.

Following the example of Zhong, I will be more willing to follow my dreams in the years to come.

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

This year, Zhang Guimei sent 150 female students to college from a free all-girls high school she had founded in 2008 in southwest China’s deep mountains. For the past 13 years, a total of 1,954 female students     1     (graduate) from this school, the first and only one of its kind in the country. “To educate a girl is to change the destiny (命运) of three     2     (generation),” Zhang said.    3     64-year-old teacher from southwest China’s Yunnan Province was presented     4     the July 1 Medal by Xi Jinping at a ceremony in Beijing on Tuesday. Because of her efforts to improve female education in China, more girls can change their destiny. When the People’s Republic of China     5     (found) in 1949, female illiteracy (文盲) was much higher than that of their male counterparts. In the 1950s, the Chinese government launched campaigns     6     helped some 16 million females become educated. In recent decades, wiping out illiteracy and     7     (improve) the reading skills of women is regarded as one of the     8     (high) priorities in China, according to the government’s guideline for helping the country’s females. The female illiteracy rate for those above age 15 has decreased from     9     (rough) 90% in the early 1950s to 7% in 2019. In 2021, China scored 0.973 in the Global Gender Gap Report     10     (release) by the World Economic Forum (with a score of 1 being completely equal).

8 . The first time I used the TV to distract (使分散注意力) my daughter, I felt like a bad parent; I convinced myself I was a “bad” mom. However, these days I believe the opposite to be true. Screen time makes me a better mom.

Now I know what most of you might be thinking: That’s ridiculous. Only crappy (糟糕的) parents rely on the screen to care for their kids. Then again, experts suggest parents limit media use. And while I do not doubt experts, there are things they fail to consider.

Like most 6-year-olds, my daughter gets worked up and excited easily and watching a cartoon gives her a chance to shut off her mind. And there are other reasons— more selfish reasons. I am a work-from-work mom, and giving her screen time gives me “me”time. I’m able to write while she watches TV. And while this may sound bad, I believe I am helping my daughter realize she should rely on herself. When Mommy works, she gets her own snacks, drinks and toys.

There are other benefits, too. TV has also taught my daughter. Thanks to “super Why”,she knew her alphabet at age 2, and thanks to “Sesame Street”, she was able to count to 20 by age 3. Also I use the screen as a great incentive. My daughter earns “IPad time” when she completes tasks, e.g., making her bed earns 15minutes while doing her homework gets her 30.

Of course, I have a few rules. During meals, the TV is off; all programs must be supervised; on weekdays, she is limited to two hours maximum. So remember: It doesn’t matter what our kids watch; it matters what they do, what they say, what they feel and how they act, and only you know what is best for them.

2. How can screen time be good for kids of mothers working at home?

3. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

9 . The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn’t able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.

To some degree, multigenerational households (家庭) have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.

UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave.

The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers (同龄人), friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.

Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, "They may like living at home and being able to save money."

"There’s no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don’t have a house expense or marriage. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values. But it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it’s becoming part of the culture."

1. What can be learned about Caitlin Hipp?

A．She is in her thirties.	B．She is ambitious for her career.
C．She can barely make ends meet.	D．She prefers living with her parents.

2. What’s the reason for young adults’ living at home according to UBS Financial Services?

A．The lack of job opportunity.	B．Their parents’ need for them.
C．The high pressure from modern life.	D．Their parents’ overprotection of them.

3. What does Hoffman think of young adults’ living at home?

A．It will never go out of fashion.	B．It may allow of more travel chances.
C．It results from the change in moral values.	D．It goes against America’s cultural development.

4. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To introduce different types of living arrangements.

B．To stress the importance of financial independence.

C．To inform people of a social phenomenon in the US.

D．To explain why Chinese young adults still live at home.

10 . When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor _________ me to do so. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, _________ your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I _________ her.

Since I started to work for a _________ company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the _________ of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business _________, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got _________ about food in different countries.

Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were _________ necessary when I happened to read a famous chef’s (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the _________ around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian __________?” Those words reminded me of my __________ advice. As information technology __________, you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various __________ you can get from traveling.

Today there are people who __________ direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people __________ not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are __________ by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to __________ and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily __________ more fruitful. However, we should never let it __________ our time for face-to-face communication.
