Mick lives in a town.He is known as "the bike man".Over the past five years, Mick has built hundreds of bicycles for needy kids.
One day five years ago, a 13-year-old boy with a broken bike walked by Mick's house. “I was working in my garage, and he asked if I could fix it," says Mick, now 53.The boy left his bike, which had a broken bracket (支架),with Mick, who asked friends on Facebook if they had the missing part. The town's former police chief saw the post and donated two used bicycles. Mick took parts from each to make a new set of wheels for the boy.
Soon after, Mick, repaired a bike for the boy's brother and assembled one for his sister. Word spread, and within the year, he had fixed up dozens of bikes for local kids whose parents couldn't afford to buy new ones.
“People were dropping off bikes day and night," says Mick,“It's great that I can reuse them for kids who need one."Mick stores the bikes and bike parts in his garage. “I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seat and use them,"he says.
So far, the bike man has repaired hundreds of cycles and given away nearly 700newly constructed bikes. They're free, but the kids must agree to two things: They've got to mind whoever's raising them, and they've got to try in school. If a kid's grades are low, Mick requires a teacher's note, saying “You're doing your best," Mick says. Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids away from television and mobile screens, "When I was growing up, we all rode our bikes," he says, "Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."
24. What is the purpose of Mick by rebuilding bikes for kids for free
A. To give a hand to the needy. B. To teach them a lesson.

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China-guochao, or “China-chic"
The term characterizes the rise of China's native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of "Made in China”,which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics(美学)offered by homegrown Chinese brands. China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look,but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent profit growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand's revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share, "said Shen Qinfeng, the company's marketing manager.
Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition. “according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend develops, there's one thing that won't change: Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, added Zhou.
28.What's the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new trend in China.
B. To highlight the popularity of guochao.
C. To describe a common scene on the street.
D. To show Chinese brands beat foreign companies.
29. Which of the following statements about guochao is correct
A. Li-Ning stimulated the development of guochao
B. Guochao is a new trend popular throughout the world.
C. Guochao refers to people's preference for ancient culture.
D.It's before 2018 that guochao had received great attention
30.What may Kerra Zhou agree with
A. Chinese still following the western trend
B. Guochao's success relies on western recognition
C. National pride arouses the passion for guochao.
D. Cultural awareness is the key to winning market share
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Popularity of Native Brands B. The Boom of China-chic
C. The Recognition of National Culture D.The Root of Guochao
D
According to the IUCN Red List, 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink, we might also be eating some threatened species without even realizing it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they're eating let alone whether they're endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg,as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we're creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish(水母).That might sound a little unusual, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland(UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. "We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,"added Klein.32. What does the underlined word “this" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don't know the fish they're eating are endangered.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled according to species when sold.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records and excluded some groups of fish.
33. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be increasing around the world.
B. Eating jellyfish sounds so unusual that people should not give it a try.
C.Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea put forward by scientists.
D. The consumption of jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
34. Why does the last paragraph mention "mountain gorillas"and “elephants”
A. To stress the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To support the suggestion for fisheries' better partnership with protection policies.
D.To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B.A government report.
C. A brochure. D. A magazine.

How to improve reading efficiency

Whether you are reading fiction or nonfiction, it's important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may recommend books that they love,but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy. 37
