21、   You may have come across several “strange” cultural practices; some would grip you with fear, while others would leave you astonished. The wife-carrying competition in Finland falls into the latter category.

Strange as it might sound, wife-carrying is a real sport in Finland. In fact, it is a highly competitive sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a female teammate. The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The length of the official track is 253.5 metres with two dry obstacles (障碍) and a water obstacle about one metre deep.

The first modern-day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1992 and foreign competitors gained admission in 1995. This event is now held annually in Sonkajärvi, Finland as the World Championship.

Although many might consider the sport a joke, competitors take it very seriously. Like every serious sport, the wife-carrying competition also has its guidelines which are set by the International Wife-Carrying Competition Rules Committee. While the International rules are the basis for all competitions, rules and prizes do vary for each competition.

It is not mandatory that you must be legally married to the “wife” to be carried, she may even be your neighbour’s wife or even someone you met during the competition; she must, however, be over 17 years of age. And her minimum weight must be 49 kilograms; otherwise, she will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg. All participants must enjoy themselves. Yes, that is also one of the rules.

Special prizes go to the most entertaining couple, the best costume, and the strongest carrier. And for the grand prize, the wife’s weight in beer goes to the couple who completes the course in the shortest time. Whether you win or lose, the good thing is the sport encourages team spirit among couples.

【1】Which can’t be used to describe the wife-carrying competition?

A.Fearful. B.Astonishing.

C.Competitive. D.Serious.

【2】What is true about the competition?

A.The first event was in 1992.

B.The rules are flexible for each competition.

C.The official track is 253.5 metres long and 1 metre deep.

D.By no means can wives weighing less than 49 kg participate in it.

【3】What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 5 mean?

A.Important. B.Necessary.

C.Strange. D.Possible.

22、Animal leather alternatives like PVC leather may have solved the fashion industry’s animal cruelty problem, but they are not the most environmentally friendly solutions. Piñatex——a new leather——like material made from pineapple leaves——on the other hand, may just be the all-around eco-leather we’ve all been waiting for.

Piñatex is the invention of Dr. Carmen Hijosa and her modern materials company, Ananas Anam. While working as a consultant to the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines in the 1990s, she discovered the character of pineapple leaf fibers and devoted her life to creating sustainable alternatives to leather. After years of research, Ananas Anam has finally come up with what it believes is an alternative to animal leather——Piñatex. It recently showcased (展示) the different uses of Piñatex during a presentation held at the Royal College of Art in London, where designers displayed various clothing items and decorative items made entirely from the material.

Piñatex is made from bonded fibers that are taken out from pineapple leaves by farmers before they are cut up. These fibers go through an industrial process to make Piñatex. The materials can then be coloured, printed and treated to give it different thicknesses and types of patterns, including leather. The remaining substances created by production can be returned to the farmers to be used as fertilizer on their farms.

Piñatex is still in development, and Dr. Hijosa admits that it will take some time before it becomes market ready. To continue her research and hopefully turn Piñatex into a commercially sustainable alternative to animal leather, Dr. Hijosa is currently trying to secure more funding for Ananas Anam, of which she is the majority owner. She is also looking into other possible uses for Piñatex, including anti-bacterial wound bandages, as the material would allow air to circulate to an injury.

【1】What can we know about “Piñatex” from the passage?

A．It has less impact on environment.

B．It is mostly made from animal leather.

C．It can replace all the fashionable materials.

D．It can solve the problem of animal extinction.

【2】What did the presentation at the Royal College of Art show about Piñatex?

A．A series of problems.

B．A new kind of feature.

C．A variety of functions.

D．A tiny amount of fibers.

【3】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Process of making Piñatex.

B．Methods of applying Piñatex.

C．Advantages of using Piñatex.

D．Reasons for creating Piñatex.

【4】Why does Dr. Hijosa raise funding for Ananas Anam?

A．To make Piñatex well-known soon.

B．To keep the research going smoothly.

C．To explore another scientific research.

D．To become the majority owner of firm.

24、Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?

Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. 【1】The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领) weeks in advance, often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. 【2】

“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway,” said Richard Larson, a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior. “Once a year,” he said, “the lines are exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.” 【3】 Billie LeClere, 45, was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester, Iowa. She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper. But this year, she came with a specific purpose: to get a good deal on a new TV. She and her husband had recently separated, and he had taken the old TV earlier that day. “The marriage died, not the TV,” she said. 【4】 “It’s going to be nice to have something that’s newer-and it’s mine, not his.”

【5】 The following are two of the typical results. The “gotta have it” atmosphere makes people more anxious. Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent. Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的).

A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.

B．But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.

C．Moreover, the crowds are queuing for good deals.

D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other.

E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.

F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.

G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research.
