21、   A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was happy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too. The father then bought a kite for his son.

The son started to fly the kite. Soon it was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Dad, it seems that the string(线) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?" The father cut the string off the reel(线轴). The kite started to go higher. This made the little boy happy.

But then, the kite started to come down. It soon fell to the ground. The son was surprised to see this. He asked his father, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?"

The father explained, "The string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it stay in the sky. You use the string to help the kite go up in the right direction. But when you cut the string, it could no longer support(支持) the kite."

We may sometimes feel like there are certain(某些) things holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the thing that supports us most.

22、   Superhero movies and TV shows are very popular today. A new study shows something is missing from superhero stories, though. Most popular superheroes are men. The new study says kids want to see more superheroes who are women.

The study was done by two groups. One is the Women's Media Center. The other is BBC America. The Women's Media Center is a charity（慈善）group. It fights for fair treatment（待遇）of women in things like TV and movies. BBC America is a TV channel.

More than 2,000 people took part in the study. Some were kids aged from 10 to 19. Others were the parents of younger children.

Not Enough Strong Woman Characters

The study shows that most girls feel there are not enough female role models in entertainment（娱乐）. They think there should be more strong female characters. They want to see superheroes that look like them. Boys answered questions in the study, too. Most agreed with the girls. They want to see more female superheroes, like Wonder Woman.

Julie Burton runs the Women's Media Center. She said TV and movies had to make changes. They must provide more role models for girls. Female characters should reflect（反映）girls of all different backgrounds, she said. It is important for all to see people who look like them in entertainment.

Helping Girls Feel More Brave and Confident

Burton said seeing strong female characters is important for girls. It helps them build confidence. These characters give girls someone to look up to, she explained. This can inspire girls. It can also help them to feel brave.

Sarah Barnett agrees. She runs BBC America. "If you can't see her, you can't be her," Barnett said.

The study asked girls how they feel when they see powerful female characters on screen. The results were interesting. They showed that seeing female characters has a big effect on girls. Boys like seeing male superheroes on screen. But the study showed the effect on boys was smaller. Maybe that is because seeing male superheroes is pretty common. Female superheroes are rarer. Seeing them is more exciting.

More Women in Entertainment

The report is a part of a new plan at BBC America. It is called #Galaxy Of Women. The goal is to improve how women are shown in entertainment.

The study came out the day after BBC America started a new season of "Doctor Who". It is a popular science fiction show. The Doctor is an alien（外星人）who can travel through time and change bodies. Twelve different actors have played the Doctor since the show started in 1963. This season, the Doctor is a woman, played by Jodie Whittaker. This is the first time the Doctor has been played by a woman.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The study was done by Men's Media Center and BBC.

B.There are enough women superheroes in entertainment.

C.Julie Burton believes TV and movies need to make changes.

D.More than 2,000 kids aged from 10 to 19 took part in the study.

【2】What do the underlined sentences mean? Maybe that is because _________.

A.male superheroes are strong, and female superheroes are pretty.

B.there are more chances to see male superheroes compared to female ones.

C.seeing male superheroes is more exciting than seeing female superheroes.

D.it is less likely to see male superhero characters than female ones on screen.

【3】Why did BBC America start the #Galaxy Of Women?

A.To make sure there was a woman Doctor on screen.

B.To better the way women appeared on TV and films.

C.Because BBC America had a new plan and it was a part of it.

23、   “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy- they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” - Jeff Bezos.

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife Mackenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mackenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor and she wanted me to follow my passion.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he persuaded me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I believed I would always be haunted(萦绕) by a decision to not try at all.

After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

【1】What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?

A.The desire to follow his passion. B.The strong support of his wife.

C.The increasing usage of the Internet. D.A bookstore with millions of exciting titles.

【2】What was the author’s situation before starting Amazon?

A.He was a garage inventor. B.He was in search of a good job.

C.He was more than thirty years old. D.He was satisfied with his working condition.

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase in Para.3?

A.Try to do it. B.Guess it.

C.Take a picture. D.Do quickly.

【4】What can we know about the author from the passage?

A.He got approval(批准) from his boss. B.He wanted someone else to try the idea.

C.He might not regret if he failed the idea. D.He might go back to his boss if he failed.

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Cleverness and Kindness B.The Starting of Amazon

C.Following My Passion D.We Are What We Choose

25、   Dr Livesey  came to the fort in the morning as promised.

‘There’s a l【1】 stranger to see you, Sir,’ Said Silver.

‘Not Jim?’ asked the doctor.

He entered the house, and t【2】 the sick pirate(海盗).
