There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag for each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales(销量), each$10,000 in sales is shown by one foot of pole. ‎ The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio-about four-fifths of the way across the nation-flags fly about 10 feet in the air.‎ But as we approach(接近)the eastern terminus(终点), the poles suddenly begin to mount(‎ 升高). There are about 300,000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000-mile road. There are 200,000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1,000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000,000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5,000 feet up. ‎ At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile, we find the 100 largest industrial firms. They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road, there are 10 largest companies. Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up: their flags fly 190 miles in the air, almost in the stratosphere(平流层). ‎ ‎24. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?‎ A.

Which of the following diagrams(图表)shows the right order of size of the US businesses, according to the text?‎ S=San Francisco R=Reno C=Columbus N=New York H=height F=feet C When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you’re going to have to add tea shops and something called "the Tube" to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first "National Park City. "‎ London was established by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and has been continually inhabited(居住于)since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density(密度)than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space. ‎ In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through. ‎ ‎"Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking," Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago, said in a press release. "We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse."‎ London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely- urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible--the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities. ‎ ‎28. Where can we find the data on London's measures to achieve its goal?‎ A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2. C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4. ‎ ‎29. What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?‎ A. London's long-term strategic thinking. B. The significance of London's campaign. ‎ C. The effects of national parks on London. D. The resources of London's green space. ‎ ‎30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend. ‎ B. National park cities are springing up around the world. ‎ C. It is so easy for London to become a national park city. ‎ D. National park cities are making improvements to our life. ‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Continuous learning benefits us in many ways.
