22、Automakers around the world, from Japan to Texas, are struggling with a global shortage of computer chips. Volkswagen sounded the alarm about the growing problem last month. Now more automakers are reporting problems that are trimming production plans based on their supply of semiconductors (半导体).

Semiconductors are at the heart of our phones and computers, but they're critical components for new cars, too — and not just in fancy touchscreens. "They're controlling the engine and the emissions and even in the switches for raising and lowering your windows," says Kristin Dziczek, the vice president at the Center for Automotive Research.

Last year, when auto manufacturing was suspended for the pandemic, everyone predicted a prolonged slowdown in car sales. The global semiconductor industry planned accordingly, and arranged to sell more computer chips to other buyers. But then, much to everyone's surprise, shoppers were still eager to buy new cars. As soon as they reopened, plants resumed normal production at a remarkable speed.

At the same time, demand for chips from other sectors — like consumer electronics — was also increasing. "Every school district in the country had to buy new computers," Dziczek says.

For car shoppers, this could mean some vehicle models are harder to find for the next few months. So far, the consequences have been uneven among automakers. Ford and Fiat Chrysler have entire plants on pause, while General Motors says its manufacturing operations have not been affected, and Toyota does not expect any impact to employment. The United Auto Workers, which represents factory workers at Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler plants, notes that its contracts include "unemployment and supplemental pay" for workers affected by production downtimes.

【1】In what ways can semiconductors not be applied in cars?

A．In the engine system.

B．In fancy touchscreens.

C．In the emission system.

D．In the switches of car doors.

【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．It'll be harder for shoppers to find a dream car.

B．The contracts are not beneficial to the workers.

C．Toyota is expected to face employment problem.

D．All the automakers have paused the entire plants.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．A Dream Car Is Not A Dream

B．The Growing Popularity Of Semiconductor

C．Semiconductor Won't Hurt Chip Production

D．Auto Production Disturbed By Chip Shortages

23、Why Walking Makes You a Better Worker?

We’re busy at work, distracted by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces.

【1】 The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day?

【2】 You’ll have to stand up and move, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D.

There’s also a lot of work on the mental benefits of being in nature — on the state of being happy and on your brain’s ability to make sense of life. “When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors. 【3】” says Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada’s Trent University.

The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining ground since the 1980s. 【4】 Afterwards shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests can benefit your health. Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase creativity, and even help us live longer.

Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness. 【5】 Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.

A.There are some obvious benefits to going outside.

B.But it doesn’t have to be a forest.

C.spending time in nature makes us healthier and happier.

D.In other words, people are happier in nature.

E.We also don’t get out much.

F.Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets.

G.First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature.

24、   Corn has been a significant part in American food since before European arrival. After the Civil War, grits (粗玉米粉), which is made out of corn, became a diet mainstay (支柱) because water-powered mills (磨坊) worked to grind dried corn. They were relatively inexpensive and could be eaten with almost anything, making it possible for everyone to enjoy.

Grits are usually cooked with water, cream and butter over the course of many hours. There can be varying types of grits from smooth to grainy. There are even instant grits for those without the hours to cook. Worth noting is that sugar is not typically added.

Grits can be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they're commonly used as a base, usually topped with seafood and a delicious sauce. It's a dish eaten by everyone from sitting presidents to blue collar workers in a variety of ways, both in fine dining restaurants and oily spoons.

Shrimp and grits is the most well-known dish incorporating grits, especially in coastal areas like Charleston, South Carolina. It was originally a fisherman’s breakfast, a hearty meal before a long day of work, and today, it's found on menus throughout the nation.

Chefs have also become creative with the dish, adding modern elements to the traditional. Mashama Bailey has a foie gras (鹅肝酱)  and grits dish at The Grey in Savannah, Georgia. Edward Lee has prepared it like the porridge his Korean parents cooked during his growing up, but uses Kentucky's Wiesenberger grits. Nathalie Dupree has made her career on the dish with her cookbook titled “Shrimp and Grits," while Virginia Willis has the appropriately titled “Grits”.

【1】Why did grits become main food?

A.Because corm played a key role.

B.Because dried corn was extremely cheap.

C.Because the Civil War broke out.

D.Because water-powered mills turned up.

【2】What can we learn about grits from Paragraph 3?

A.They are popular among all walks of life.

B.They are smooth to feel.

C.They are placed on top of other foods.

D.They are expensive to purchase.

【3】What breakfast did South Carolina fishermen like?

A.Grits with shrimp. B.Grits with sugar.

C.Grits with butter. D.Grits with cream.

【4】Why does the author mention Lee's parents?

A.To introduce Lee's upbringing experiences. B.To promote Lee's cooking techniques.

C.To explain a modern flavour of grits. D.To advertise a newly-published cookbook.
