小题,计 10 分)
Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult, you are
free to make your own decisions. More importantly you can do all those things that
you cannot do now because you are too young. So the question is ‘At what age do
you really become an adult?’ Well, people become adults at different ages in
different places.
In Australia, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians
because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote (选举), learn
to drive a car, get married, join the army and even buy their own houses. Even if
they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday
to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age in Australia
and the USA and the UK.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries
the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK you can join the army at
16 and even get married at 16 if your parents allow. Young people in the UK can learn
to drive a car at 17, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China, you can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want
to get married, women have to wait until they are 18 and men until they are 22. Chinese
people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years — so when young people turn
20, they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to
be independent and responsible(负责任的). Once you are finally able to take care
of yourselves and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly all
grown-ups.
21. Some children cannot wait to grow up because ________.
A. they hope to drive a car
B. they can decide to do things freely
C. they can celebrate birthdays
22. The underlined word “adult” means ________.

23. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

B. In China, men can get married at 18.
C. In Australia, people can vote at 16.
24. What does the last paragraph tell us?
A. When people celebrate their 18th birthday, they become adults
B. When people turn 20, they should take care of themselves.
C. A true grown-up is independent and responsible.
25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Why some children can’t wait to grow up.
B. People become adults at different ages in different places.
C. What people can do at different ages.

technological creations and achievements in the relevant area, May 26, 2021.
Big data (数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they

students can succeed in school. The role it plays in tourism is another example.

data travelers share online is offering the tourism industry a lot of
information about the country’s scenic areas(景区). After the data is analyzed(分
析), different scenic areas can an create their own online information for other
travelers to
see. The information not only tells travelers’ reviews, but also
tells the scenic areas where services need to be improved.
