A teacher was teaching his students about the importance of body language He explained to the students that
sometimes our body says one thing but our mouth says the opposite. He told the students some examples.
First, he put his hands on his sides, spread his feet, looked into the sky and said, “I am shy.” Then he asked the
students, “Do you believe my words?” Everyone shook their head. It was very clear that though his mouth said one
thing, his body said another. In order to make his students understand this, he then told them a story.
There is a boat crossing the ocean. Two men, who say they cannot swim, start arguing with each other about
what they should do if the boat sinks. As they argue, they gesture with great power. At that time, their friend doesn’t
want to get hurt, so he swims away. Suddenly, the boat begins to sink. Everyone jumps overboard except for the
two men. After a long time, their friend finally reaches the shore.
However, he is amazed to find the two men have already been there. He is surprised and asks them how they
got there. “We have no idea,” says one of them. “We just kept on arguing in the water.” As you guess, the two men
argue with their mouths, and swim with their bodies.

①While history has shown that the economic development is sometimes achieved at the cost of
environmental damage, Shenzhen is trying to tell a different story.
②Shenzhen has been developing quickly in recent years. At the same time, the city’s air quality has kept
improving. In 2019, the average concentration (浓度) of PM2.5 was 24 μg/m3, the lowest level since the
monitoring system started in 2006. The city has set a goal to lower the index to less than 20 μg/m3 by 2025 and
reach a world-leading level by 2035.
③One of the most effective ways to curb air pollution is to encourage the use of electric vehicles, especially
in public transport, across the city. At the end of 2017, Shenzhen became the world’s first city to make all its public
buses, about 16,400 of them, run on electricity. A year later, more than 21,000 taxis in the city were almost all
replaced by electric cars.
④When the sky becomes clearer, the city has also made great progress in solving its water pollution. All 159
black and smelly water bodies and 1,467 small ones have been fully recovered. Five major rivers that run through
the city have met national water standards (标准).
⑤Maozhou River, one of the most heavily polluted rivers in Shenzhen, started to meet the lowest national
standard for qualified(合格的) surface water in November 2019. The standard is that the water can be used for
agriculture or sightseeing. This was the best level the river had achieved since 1992.
⑥As a result, Chinese white dolphins and jellyfish have been seen to return to the Shenzhen Bay. And the
number of many animals in and along the river has increased year by year.
21. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Produce. B. Control. C. Protect. D. Cause.

A. When will personal cars be replaced by electric ones?
B. What is Shenzhen’s goal of dealing with air pollution?
C. How many kinds of animals are there in Maozhou River?

23. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Shenzhen’s secrets of fast development.
