Atlanta History Center
For anyone strongly desiring to have a look into the past, the Atlanta History Center is the answer. You can easily spend an entire day here. Take an afternoon to stroll (漫步) through 33 acres of attractive gardens, award-winning exhibitions, and a number of historic houses. There is the historic Swan House and Smith Family Farm, both open for tours.
Chastain Memorial Park
Chastain Memorial Park is Atlanta’s largest city park. In addition to the park’s jogging paths, playgrounds, swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course, and horse park, it is home to the Chastain Arts Center. Housed in early 20th-century historic buildings, the Center offers year-round programming and a gift shop of handmade items.

Salar de Uyuni is a world-famous area of Bolivia. The extremely dry land is flat and white and covered with salt from the earth, which makes many visitors go to the special place each year.
A young boy is having fun by taking unusual pictures of all the visitors, with a little help from a toy dinosaur. Eleven-year-old Piter Condori takes photos of visitors standing on the salt flats and places the small dinosaur in a part of the frame. He does it in a way that makes it look as if the toy were running toward the people. Piter charges the tourists a little bit of money for each photo. At the end of each day, he takes home about $15 to help his family pay for food or to help his brothers and sisters buy toys. Food prices have shot up recently, making it harder for Piter’s family to buy everything it needs.
Piter’s father, Diego, works in the salt business. “We didn’t even have enough money to eat, so we have devoted ourselves to working in tourism as a family,” Diego said, stressing that it was hard for his business during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also said his family had a small amount of money saved which nearly ran out during the last two years. At the moment, Piter’s mother sells hand-made art to the salt flat’s visitors and his brothers and sisters help, too.
The Condori family is the same as many others in Bolivia. The South American nation depends strongly on tourism. One Bolivian tourism organization said visitors have decreased by 90 percent. The 2, 000 people who work in tourism have asked the government to remove some COVID-19 related restrictions.
The salt flats where Piter takes photos are one of the country’s top attractions. Actually the land also contains the material lithium (锂), which is used in electric vehicle batteries. But so far, that has not helped the local economy.
24．What best describes Piter according to paragraph 2
A．Creative and considerate. B．Enthusiastic and naughty.
C．Diligent and generous. D．Independent and reliable.
25．Why does Piter take photos for the tourists
A．He wants to find inspiration from photoing.
B．He takes the responsibility to raise family.
C．He volunteers to offer service to tourists.
D．He is forced by his parents to earn money.
26．What made all Piter’s family engaged in tourism
A．The high expenses for their life.
B．The low income from salt business.
C．The serious influence of the pandemic.
D．The limited charges of taking photos.
27．What is the last paragraph intended to explain
A．A plan to make people work in tourism.
B．A solution to protecting natural resources.
C．An opportunity to develop local economy.
D．A suggestion on taking attractive photos.
C
It seems as if social media platforms have taken over our lives. According to a study, there were over 3.6 billion social media users in 2021. And that number is only expected to grow.
Although social media platforms have helped to keep friends and family connected, there is also a dark side to social media. To put it simply, it is a money making machine. This is partially because of social media influencers. A social media influencer is someone “who can shape audience’s attitudes through blogs, tweets, and the use of other social media”. You may be asking yourself, “Why would they want to do this, though ” The answer is simple: to make money. Social media influencers make money by promoting brands among their followers. In fact, influencer marketing is so profitable that the study reported that the industry is expected to reach $15 billion in value in 2022.
Social media influencers are now being called out because some of their actions have started to negatively impact the environment. One man in particular, who goes by Steve to remain anonymous (匿名的), noticed that some online influencers failed to follow rules when they went to national parks or public places. This included things like leaving garbage behind, or using drones (无人机) to take pictures from the sky.
Because of this, Steve made it his mission to stop social media influencers from hurting the environment with their bad behavior in order to get the “perfect shot”. In 2018, he made the account “Public Lands Hate You” to name and shame influencers who failed to follow the rules made to protect the environment. The account now has over 85 thousand followers.
He hoped that it could help some influencers find the light and right their wrongs. Steve said, “If everybody thought just a little bit more about their small actions and the impact those actions have on the environment and the people around them, I think that a lot of our bigger problems would be much more easily solved.”
28．What feature of social media influencers is mainly shown in paragraph 2
A．Good communication. B．Chasing profits.
C．Creative shows. D．Volunteering service.
29．How does the writer present his idea in paragraph 3
A．By giving examples. B．By offering data.
C．By making comparisons. D．By explaining reasons.
30．Why was “Public Lands Hate You” made
A．To win wide attention and attract more fans.
B．To get the influencers aware of their wrong deeds.
C．To make public places inaccessible to influencers.
D．To inform the influencers of the places for perfect shots.
31．What is implied from Steve’s words in the last paragraph
A．Well begun is half done. B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Every bit of effort counts. D．Actions speak louder than words.
D
An increasing number of the youth have become more worried about the climate change than ever before. Katie Cielinski and Aaron Regunberg are millennials (千禧一代). Before marrying in 2017, the couple struggled for nearly a decade on whether to have a baby on an already crowded planet. Katie argued for raising a climate guard to fight for a healthy planet, but Aaron feared for the future climate changes their child would face.
They are hardly alone in that struggle. About 60 percent of Americans between 27 and 45 worry about the carbon footprint of bringing a child into the world, according to a 2020 survey published in the journal Climatic Change. It also found that more than 96 percent said they are concerned about the well-being (幸福) of a child in a climate-changed world.
There is a piece of good news in all the anxiety. In the United States, the young who have the most anxiety are also the most confident that they could do something about it. They have built a widespread protest movement in an effort to prompt governments to act. In 2019, millions of youths took part in the same-day protests that went throughout the globe, from Sydney to New York to Mumbai, India’s largest city.
Jennifer Atkinson is a professor of the University of Washington, Bothell. “My students feel a mix of ‘sadness, fear and anger’ at the climate changes they’ve seen in their 20-odd years of life.” she says, “I don’t tell them to avoid these ‘negative (负面的) emotions’ —which are not actually negative at all, but a healthy response to loss. Sadness makes us clear what we love and do not want to lose, and anger drives us to fight against unfairness. I encourage my students to see these strong feelings as a kind of superpower to help make a better world.”
32．What causes the disagreement on whether to have a baby for the couple
A．Climate change. B．The crowded planet.
C．The way to raise it. D．The cost to feed it.
33．What is the function of the second paragraph according to the text
A．To list figures. B．To offer an evidence.
C．To explain reasons. D．To make comparison
34．What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph
A．prevent. B．drive. C．advise. D．allow.
35．What can be inferred according to Atkinson
A．Anger will lead to fairness.
B．Fear is a strong negative emotion.
C．We should deal well with negative feelings.
D．her students feel sad at the climate change.

The Ace
Billie Jean was always full of energy and played as well as she could. One teacher suggested she should be more ‘ladylike’ and try not to win all the time, but her parents didn’t agree.
“Play as well as you can and be the best you can be!” they told her.
One morning, Billie Jean’s friend Susan tapped her on the shoulder during class.
“Do you want to play tennis ”
“What’s tennis ” Billie Jean whispered back.
It’s a fun game. You’ll love it — you get to run and jump and hit a ball with a racket (球拍)!
Billie Jean didn’t know what a ‘racket’ was, but tennis sounded exciting!
The next weekend, Susan took Billie Jean to a famous club — the Country Club. Then Susan handed her a strange thing looking like a net. “This is a racket. You hit a ball with it!”
Susan threw a yellow ball at her. Billie Jean frowned and waved her racket as hard as she could. She spent more time hitting the air than she did hitting the ball, but she loved playing tennis anyway! It seemed that she found out what she was going to do with her life — she wanted to be an ace (最佳选手) of tennis in the world! When going home that night, sunburned and exhausted, she had only one question in her mind.
“Mom and Dad, can I please have a tennis racket of my own ” Billie Jean asked. Her parents looked at each other.“Money is a bit short,” her mother said. “But you can save up for one!”
