22、   Swimming across the English Channel—the 21-mile-long channel between southern England and northern France--- is not an easy thing. Besides the strong ocean currents(洋流)，swimmers also have to face temperatures that can change from 18°C to 6°C. However, don’t tell that to Sarah Thomas. The 37-year-old American woman recently became the first person ever to swim the English Channel four times without stop.

What makes Thomas even greater is that just a year ago, in 2018, she survived （幸存）serious illness. She said that fighting the strong currents was hard. “But even worse is dealing with the saltwater … it really hurts your throat(咽喉), your mouth and your tongue,” she said.

Thomas’s journey began just past midnight on Sunday, September 15, 2019. The swim was about 80 miles at the beginning. However, strong currents add the total distance by about 50 miles. When Thomas came out from the water at 6: 30 am local time on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, she was in the water for 54 hours and 13 minutes and swam a total of 133 miles!

There was a ship with GPS and computers to record wind, tides and currents with Thomas all the time. It guided her through the water. Her mother and husband were on the ship. During her swimming, Thomas took a rest every 30 to 60 minutes.

【1】Sarah Thomas comes from .

A.England B.France C.America D.Japan

【2】How far did Sarah Thomas swim across the channel this year?

A.About 50 miles. B.About 54 miles. C.About 80 miles D.About 130 miles.

【3】According to the passage, we can use to describe Sarah Thomas.

A.brave B.helpful C.generous D.humorous

【4】Where can we probably read this passage?

A.In a science book. B.In a diary. C.In a newspaper. D.In a novel.

23、If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably interested in learning English as a second language and think it could be a valuable skill in the future. But these days, fewer college students in the United States are studying foreign languages themselves.

The Modern Language Association (MLA), a group in the US that tracks language studies, found that the number of US college students who were studying a foreign language dropped by 9 percent from 2019 to 2021, Quartz reported.

Most of the drop was due to a decrease (下降) in the number of people learning Spanish, the most popular foreign language among US college students, while many other foreign languages such as German and Italian also lost popularity.

One reason for this could be that studying a foreign language is not seen as practical (实用的). Indeed, the decrease in foreign language studies came just after the global financial crash of 2008.

There are many majors now, such as digital arts, that didn’t exist in earlier years. With more choices than before, students are less likely to study a foreign language.

But failing to master a second language could take away potential job opportunities for US students in the future, experts say.

Luckily, efforts have been made to change the situation. Starting this June, the government in New York City will allow its high school students to choose Spanish as one of the tests they must pass to graduate.

【1】Which foreign language was the most popular among US college students?

A．Spanish

B．French

C．German

D．Italian

【2】Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A．Compared with 2019, there were more US college students studying foreign languages in 2021.

B．From 2019 to 2021, the number of US college students who were studying Spanish dropped by 9 percent.

C．There would be fewer job opportunities for US students who don’t master a second language in the future.

D．The US government will allow high school students to choose Spanish as one of the tests they have to pass for graduation.

【3】From the passage, we can guess that digital arts is ____________.

A．very popular among US college students

B．more practical than studying a foreign language

C．less practical than studying a foreign language

D．a new major in US colleges

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．There is no need to learn a foreign language

B．It’s necessary to learn a foreign language.

C．Learning Spanish is more useful than before.

D．There are fewer US students learning a foreign language.

24、   Growing up in a bad home, I learned to protect myself by not speaking up. When I was a 【1】(孩子), I didn’t want to say anything about my bad life.

I’ll finish my【2】(大学) this year, and want to be a popular writer. Then I will start speaking up. How did I get to where I am today? What helped me? That’s the friends with care and love【3】（围绕）me. They taught me how to slow down, to live on, to be【4】（勇敢的），and be thankful for what I got. They also taught me to turn my past experiences into power.

Now my【5】（希望） is to help others to see what is possible even in the darkest of times. I don’t know I’m special in any way. I am just a【6】 （普通的）man and have no difference with anyone 【7】（其他的）. I don’t know what tomorrow might bring. But one thing I learn is that if we can hold on, and find ways to get through the【8】（麻烦）, we’ll not only live on, but become strong【9】（足够地）.

And with love of my friends, I’m looking forward to so much more than completing my education in the【10】（将来）. I believe my dreams will come true.
