A
Best Places to Visit in Canada
Vancouver
Even by North American standards,Vancouver is a young city(it was founded in 1886). But what it lacks in history is made up for by culture. The city's high-fashion clothes shops and health-conscious（关注的）eating make it an attractive urban playground. Plus， its breath-taking mountains and beaches have been the setting for a group of popular television shows.
Québec City
The 2008 celebration of its 400th birthday made Quebec City the focus of people's attention again. Since then,travelers have flooded here to experience this UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization)World Heritage site’s charm for themselves. As the birthplace of New France,Quebec City continues to support the culture of its motherland. And around every corner,a piece of Quebec City's rich heritage is waiting for discovery.
Montreal
There is only one word that really describes Montreal;multifaceted(多面性).
This city represents the combination of the Old and New Worlds,with 18th-century
Structures integrating into a 21st-century skyline. Old-fashioned houses are now home to restaurants Just when you thought you'd seen it all，a short elevator（电梯）ride exposes you to a huge consumer shopping center located several floors below ground level.
Toronto
Toronto is considered one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, with mote than half the population born outside of the city. With Greektown,Little Italy, Koreatown and Chinatown all within city limits,travelers may feel as if they've seen more than a couple of countries after a visit to Toronto. The city is also home to one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world,the CN Tower,and the world's largest underground shopping mall PATH.

I look forward to my half-hour train ride to work every morning. I can look out of the window as it turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun shining its strong light on the floor of the train. But the main reason why I love this ride is that it's a reminder of how neighborhoods change from block to block.
I am a journalist who has been placed in newsrooms across the country to report local community news in areas that are often ignored. And for me, that means covering areas like the one I grew up in.
Last week,as I was on the way to my office,I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city's Southwest Side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down. I jumped in a virtual time machine through Google Maps' Street View and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007. Then I set out to visit city blocks,and that's when I met 3-year-old Harmony.
Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother,Marquita. I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past,but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block. She said they were really friendly to each other. However,people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other. Marquita has lived on this block for her entire life,and Harmony has for most of her short life as well. But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one totally different from the one Harmony will grow to know.
In the end,they smiled at my camera. And I got back on the train and headed back to my office to tell their story.

Just like all good things, all great television shows,too,must come to an end. We many have those unpleasant feelings around the last episode（集） of our favorite TV show， when there will be no“Next Episode”button to click. This is called“post-series blues”.
You get a story,an escape from reality,possibly even life-changing lessons. In return, it gets your undivided attention. But what happens when you finally reach the end of the show For many hours,days and weeks,we invest ourselves in the plot, characters and the world of the show,only to realize that it—after all—exists inside a screen. The longer it goes on, the harder the end seems to be.
It’s a sense of loss that you feel at the end of a book or a TV play and you're upset. It's like saying goodbye to so many friends you've made,because you've got to know these people over the course of the book or the show and now there's no more connection, and this is why sequels（续集）do so well—it’s continuity. And this is why some people don't finish certain books intentionally. They may not want to know what happens to their favorite characters, or the end of a special read is worth prolonging（延长）forever.
Fiction and non-fiction stories have always been there to help catch our fall during troubled times. It's pure and healthy escapism.
Perhaps the best way to get over the post-book or post-series blues is to be grateful for what you've learnt, and enjoy where your imagination has taken you.
28. What leads to“post-series blues”
A. Lacking a strong will.
B. Lacking spiritual support.
C. Being afraid of facing the end.
D. Being unwilling to make a start.
29. Why do some people refuse to finish reading books
A. They want to guess the endings.
C. They set aside time for other tasks.
B. They try to avoid the sense of loss.
D. They find the books hard to understand.
30. What's the author's attitude to watching television shows during troubled times
A. Supportive.
B. Unclear.
C. Uncaring.
D. Opposed.
31. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph
A. Give examples.
C. Introduce new topics.
B. Make comments.
D. Offer suggestions.
D
From one perspective，Singapore is a single person's paradise（天堂）. Young adults can often live rent-free，waited on by doting（溺爱的）“servants”，in exchange for little more than an occasional hug.
The secret of this cushy lifestyle is to live with one's parents.“It’s difficult for young people to break free,”argues Wei-Jun Jean Yeung of the National University of Singapore. “Almost 80% of Singaporeans live in subsidized（被补贴的）public flats. But they do not become qualified for a flat of their own until they marry or turn 35 years old.”
Yet a growing number of Singaporeans are disobeying this rule. Between 1990 and 2020, the number of those under 35 who lived alone or with non-family members grew from 33,400 to 51,300. Since they did not qualify for public housing, they chose to rent houses from private-companies.
At one property company，CP Residences，the number of young tenants（租户）in Singapore rose from an average of 90 between 2014 and 2019 to 658 this year. At another, Cove,it went from 10 in 2019 to 142 today——70%of the tenants are between 2l and 35 years old.
However,moving out isn't that easy.First,you must inform your parents. It took Lydia Yeung,an illustrator who was then 28,three months to find the courage. Then you must learn to pay bills and do basic chores. When Lenne Chai, a photographer, moved out seven years ago at the age of 23,she didn't even know how to make instant noodles. Her mother had to do her laundry and tidy her flat every week.
Of course,life on your own can be lonely.But living apart may improve relationships. When Lydia Yeung lived with her parents, they paid each other little attention. Now her weekly visits to them are“quality time”. When Ms. Chai’s parents came to her flat for dinner recently,they were impressed by how tidy it was.
32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“cushy”in paragraph 2
A. Comfortable.
B. Healthy.
C. Active.
D. Personal.
33. What does Wei-Jun Jean Yeung say about unmarried young adults in Singapore
A. Eighty percent of them refuse to work.
B. They enjoy living with their parents very much.
C. It is easy for them to break free from their parents.
D. They are disqualified to apply for subsidized public flats.
34. What can we infer from the two companies' data in paragraph 4
A. Singapore's property market is picking up.
B. Singapore's young adults are leaving home.
C. Singaporeans are renting instead of buying houses.
D. Singaporeans are investing their money in properties.
35. What do we know about Lydia Yeung after she moves out
A. She never invites her parents to dinner.
B. She asks her parents to help tidy her flat.
C. She and her parents get along much better.
D. She doesn't know how to make instant noodles.
