When night falls, trunks (后备箱) of private cars are turned into special mobile stalls (摊位) on the street. They sell everything from drinks to clothes at good prices. Lots of customers would like to buy something each time they pass by. This is the trunk market which has become popular in many cities.
Those who sell things at the stalls are mostly young people. Many young stall holders say they set up the stalls out of interest. They think they might be able to make some money after work. And they find the lively market brings them a feeling of satisfaction. “Every time I work at my stall, I get to talk with nice passers-by. It feels great to meet new friends,” said a stallholder. “I really enjoy hearing people tell me how good my coffee is,” another stallholder said.
But young people can’t expect to make a lot of money from the business because the number would fluctuate. For example, a coffee stall may sell 60 cups of coffee on a good day, but less than 10 cups on another day. And when the weather is bad, the stallholder couldn’t even go out to the market.
While enjoying the fun of buying things at the trunk market, some people also worry about its development. As the food sold there is mostly fast food, no one knows for sure if the food is safe. And each time the market closes, rubbish can be seen everywhere on the street. Besides, people living nearby may find it noisy. Thankfully, some areas are already taking action to make the market go further.
( ) 16. What can we learn about the trunk market
A. It opens all day long. B. Its stalls can be moved easily.

A. fall heavily B. grow slowly C. increase fast D. change a lot
( ) 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph
A. Safety of the food sold at the market.
B. The noise problem on the street.
C. Air pollution caused by driving.
D. Environmental problems caused by rubbish.
( ) 20. What is the best title for the passage
A. Popular trunk markets in cities B. The development of night markets
C. A new way to make friends D. China’s most popular market
C
The word culture includes not only the customs of our society, its art, music, but also everyday activities. Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat (威胁) and that something should be done. Yet for some, the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization (全球化) and progress. So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance
Those who see globalization as a threat argue that societies are losing special parts of their cultures. For example, Omotik, a language spoken in East Africa, has only 50 live speakers. There are also increasing fears in China, where the losing of musical and dance traditions, as well as traditional crafts, is causing concern to many. Some argue that it is hard to find differences between London and Tokyo. Young people, whose ideas are often influenced by Western or other popular cultures, often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with.
Others focus on the advantages of globalization. They accept that Western culture is spreading, but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies. Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong. Many argue that there are advantages to these cross-cultural exchanges and that they lead to better understandings between cultures. They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these. Chinese New Year, now celebrated in most big cities around the world, is just one of the many festivals that re accepted internationally.
Anyway, many local organizations and governments arc trying to protect their cultures. One successful example is Wales. There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language, but after years of efforts, it is now an active part of Welsh life again. Around the world, similar efforts are going on.
( ) 21. What is causing societies to lose their special parts of cultures
A. Western culture. B. Population growth.
C. Globalization and progress. D. Population decrease.
( ) 22. Why is it hard to tell the differences between London and Tokyo
A. People in the UK love Japanese comic.
B. They arc speaking the same language.
C. Both of them are influenced by Chinese and American culture.
D. They look similar because they may give up their own traditions
( ) 23. What docs the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Advantages. B. Cross-cultural exchanges.
C. World traditions. D. Better understandings.
( ) 24. Which of the following is an OPINION according to the passage
A. Omotik is a language spoken in East Africa.
B. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines.
C. The globalization of cultures is a chance to traditional ones.
D. Chinese New Year is now celebrated in most big cities around the world.
( ) 25. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Culture Changes B. Threats to Culture
C. Culture Protection D. Exchanges of Cultures
