21、   I was about 30 years old and was working as a firefighter in the South Bronx’s Engine Co.82. It was a restful Sunday and between alarms I rushed to the office to read a copy of the New York Times. I read an article on the Book Review section which openly stated what I took to be a calumny (徘镑）-that William Butler Yeats had gone beyond his Irishness and was forever to be known as a universal poet. As I read it, my blood began to boil.

I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote out a letter of anger to the editor. Yeats had lived his life and written his poetry through the very essence of his Irish sensibility. It was offensive to think Irishness was something to be transcended (超越）. I don’t know why I felt it my duty to safeguard the reputation of the world’s greatest poet. I just knew that I had to write that letter.

After my letter got published, I received a letter from The New Yorker asking for an interview. When my article Fireman Smith appeared in that magazine, the editor of a large publishing firm called me, asking if I was interested in writing a book about my life. I had little confidence to write a whole book, though the subject was worthy. I wrote Report From Engine Co.82 in six months, and it sold really well. In the years that followed, I wrote three more best-sellers.

Being a writer had been far from my expectations. How had it happened? I often found myself thinking about it, and my thoughts always came back to that letter to the New York Times. For me, the writing was a natural consequence of the passion I felt and the subjects represented the great values burning within me as I wrote.

Your education and your experience will guide you toward making a right decision, but your passion will enable you to make a difference in whatever you do. That’s what I learned the day I stood up for Ireland’s greatest poet.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply?

A.I felt awkward when I read the article.

B.I felt angry at the statement in the article.

C.I became excited when I read about Yeats.

D.I was very proud of Yeats being a universal author.

【2】Why did the author write to the New York Times?

A.To present his love for literature.

B.To spread Irish culture to the world.

C.To protect the reputation of an Irish poet.

D.To express his expectation of being a writer.

【3】According to the author,what is the key to his success in writing?

A.His skills in arguing.

B.His educational background.

C.His passion for writing.

D.His experience as a firefighter.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.My Journey to Be a Writer.

B.A Letter that Changed My Life.

C.How to Become a Great Author.

D.My Defense of Ireland’s Greatest Poet.

22、   Kolkata is the famous capital of West Bengal in India and the home of nearly 15 million people. The traffic jams begin early in the morning with long lines of private cars, public buses, and taxis. There aren’t many alternatives. You can catch a train through the city or take the underground though the fare is affordable, but sooner or later you have to go on foot and walking in Kolkata is a dangerous activity. As the drivers rush towards you, they blow their horns (喇叭). The sound never stops from morning to night.

I was surprised when I crossed a small road on my first day there. I heard a bell—not a horn. It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw (人力车). He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and then, with great strength, pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw is a symbol of Kolkata. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If you miss your bus and there aren’t any taxis，you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are also very popular with local shoppers. The driver takes you from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads all your purchases, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.

You also see more people getting on and off rickshaws from June to September when Kolkata gets heavy rainfall. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In the older parts of the city, the roads flood. The water can rise as high as people’s waists in the worst part. When it’s this bad, anything with an engine is useless.

【1】What can best describe the traffic in Kolkata?

A. Crowded. B. Inconvenient.

C. Expensive. D. Dangerous.

【2】Why did the author feel surprised when walking in Kolkata?

A. He was there for the first time. B. He didn’t hear a horn but a bell.

C. A man asked him to take a rickshaw. D. Children went to school by rickshaw.

【3】What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?

A. His experience in Kolkata. B. The way to use rickshaws.

C. The rickshaws’ advantages. D. Public transport’s services.

【4】What can be inferred during the time from June to September in Kolkata?

A. It often keeps raining heavily for two days. B. The rickshaw drivers can earn more.

C. People seldom use their own cars. D. The roads are often washed away.

23、Last November, Michelle McGagh, a 34-year-old journalist, looked at her finances and discovered that every year she spent a lot of money unnecessarily.【1】 She allowed herself £30 a week to buy food and household essentials. But she couldn’t spend money on anything else— no clothes, no buses or flights, and no meals out.

At first, she tried to see her friends as often as before. She cycled 120 miles to be at a friend’s wedding, and camped in their garden to avoid paying for accommodation.【2】 But she couldn’t join them for dinner in a restaurant, and when they went to the pub, she drank tap water. In the end, she simply went out less, which made her feel a bit lonely.

Of course, she couldn’t afford to go abroad, so she missed a trip to Brazil. 【3】 Here, for the first and only time in the year, she bought food that she had not cooked herself—a bag of chips for £1.95.

At the end of the year, she had saved £23,000. She was much slimmer and fitter. She says she now feels freer and happier, because she appreciates the simple things in life. 【4】 But she learned the hard way that you can’t   really socialize if you don’t want to spend money. The evening after her year-long challenge ended, she bought all her friends a drink in the pub. But she has not gone back to her past spending habits. 【5】 “Whenever you open your wallet, think about whether what you are buying is something you need or something you want," says McGagh.

A．Why did she decide to take up this challenge?

B．So what’s her key tip for those who want to save?

C．She occasionally pays to socialize and go on holiday.

D．She also gained confidence and a sense of adventure.

E．So she made a plan: to stop spending money like that for a year.

F．The following weekend, she rode 60 miles to meet some friends.

G．Her only travel was a cycling trip to East Anglia, where again she camped.

24、Famous for its tolerance (宽容) as well as its narrow houses and broad canals (运河), Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.

Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, “We don’t want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion Euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city.”

Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their “Perspective 2030” report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” rather than “destination promoting”. The document also describes the country’s future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam’s livability will be severely influenced by “visitor overload” if action isn’t taken.

Solutions (解决办法) listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous “I Amsterdam” sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city’s main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various “lesser-known neighborhoods” in order to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.

But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, Van Loon fears Amsterdam has lost its uniqueness forever. “The reason tourists come here is that there’s something in the character of Amsterdam they love,” she explains. “But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place.”

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicate?

A．Amsterdam doesn’t necessarily copy Venice.

B．Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.

C．Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.

D．Venice is suffering from over-tourism.

【2】Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere?

A．To avoid much spending on city management.

B．To turn the focus on destination promoting.

C．To promote the development of other areas.

D．To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.

【3】What does the underlined word entice in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Promise.

B．Persuade.

C．Inform.

D．Allow.

【4】What’s Van Loon’s attitude to the measure?

A．Skeptical.

B．Intolerant.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Positive.
