22、Every year on April 1, April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it’s called “Poisson d’Avril” or “Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is often called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the holiday is called Kithbet Neesan or “April Lie.”

History experts say people have celebrated April Fools’ Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else.

Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the yearly calendar. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1. Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.

In the United States, April Fools’ Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes typically end in the prankster shouting “April Fools’!”

Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools’ Day fun in a much bigger way. A few years ago, on April 1, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes -- Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade.

It did not take long for customers to catch on to the prank! More and more people use social media or smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools’ Day. One very annoying smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends’ phones, every day.

【1】Why did some people keep the old New Year’s Day?

A. It was known only by the government.

B. They wanted to be different from others.

C. They like the old celebration.

D. They didn’t know the time changed.

【2】Americans celebrated April Fool’s Day to _________.

A. improve the friendship between friends.

B. have fun and play jokes on others.

C. find a chance to give children gifts.

D. escape the stress of their work.

A. participate in.   B. turn down.

C. break away from.   D. give up.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To introduce a new festival.

B. To tell a story on April Fool’s Day.

C. To introduce April Fool’s Day.

23、Air travel can be annoying. But research now suggests global warming could make it much worse. To get off the ground in really hot weather, planes may be forced to carry fewer passengers. That might mean a little more space, which would be good. However, it also would make the passengers pay more.

Average air temperatures around the world are rising because people are polluting the air with an increasing number of greenhouse gases, which, such as carbon dioxide, are a byproduct (副产品) of burning fuels. Those warmer temperatures can influence an airplane’s ability to fly because air molecules (分子) spread out more as the air warms. This produces less lift under a plane’s wings, so a plane must be lighter to take off in hot weather than on cooler days.

It can even prove too dangerous for some planes to attempt a take-off. A record of June heat wave in the American Southwest, for instance, caused flight cancellations in Phoenix, Ariz. One airline’s planes were cleared to operate only up to 47.8 degree Celsius. On June 20, Phoenix reached 48.3°C!

Radley Horton is a climate scientist at Columbia University. Two years ago, he and his graduate student Ethan David Coffel studied the impact of warming at four U.S. airports and found that warming of track could triple(使成三倍) the number of days when planes face weight restrictions. Later, they explored the impact of rising temperatures on live types of commercial planes flying out of 19 of the world’s busiest airports. In the coming decades, as many as one to three out of every 10 flights that take off during the hottest time of day could face weight. That would be equal to taking a dozen people off the plane, the researchers calculated.

【1】How would global warming affect air travel according to the first paragraph?

A. It’ll add to the danger of flying.

B. It’ll increase passengers’ travel cost.

C. It’ll make flying much more comfortable.

D. It’ll encourage more people to travel by plane.

【2】What is the second paragraph actually intended to explain?

A. How global warming is happening.

B. What decides a plane’s ability to fly.

C. Why global warming affects flying.

D. Where greenhouse gases are created.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Reasons for flight cancellation.

B. The findings of a weight-related research.

C. The tendency of temperature change.

D. Effects of hot air on financial growth.

【4】What should be the best title for the text?

A. Air Travel Isn’t Recommended during Hot Weather

B. Rising Temperatures May Reduce the Number of Flights

C. Weight Restrictions Are More Common in More Airports

D. Hotter Air May Lead to Planes Carrying Fewer Passengers

24、An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.

At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arm’s length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officer’s face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before.

No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.

“Mr. Easy-nwa?” He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right.

“Ezenwa,” He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her name tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. “A bit far from home，she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu，a city in Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather, bad drivers, her daughter’s school play...

At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.

“Got here in the end”，said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consider moving you into a home”.

“No need, I was not lost，he answered. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen. In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down, the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool, his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester, and yesterday, among other food items, the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham. That had taken some time, so much he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked up station, so cold he couldn’t answer loudly enough the pink-faced big copper who yelled in his face, “What’s your name sir?” spraying his face with spittle (吐沫）as he did so, leaving them with no choice but to search an exhausted, frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments (调味品）including a bag of dried bitter-leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting read his rights and charged with ...possession???

He lifted the lid of the bubbling soup, the room was filled with the rich and spicy scent of his culinary (烹饪的）effort. He served two bowls, taking the chipped one and placing the other opposite where Evelyn would have sat. He would tell her about his adventure, it was their anniversary and this was the perfect pepper soup to celebrate.

25、   Here’s an awkward confession(承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to _______ my emotions. And each time I’ve _______ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (忌讳的). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry  _______  ?

As someone put it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be _______  in the pursuit(追求) of what sets your goal on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. _______ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable- yet taboo – what is an ambitious young woman to do to  _______  after one of these embarrassing incidents?

My usual routine after an in-office _______  is to remove my contact lenses（隐形眼镜）, have a massive iced-coffee, and _______ it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the _______ professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any  ________ for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).

“It’s so ________, but telling yourself not to cry usually ________  making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, trying to  ________  an awkward situation, but there’s so much pressure that the  ________ will almost unavoidably come.  ________  tend to over-apologize, especially at work. If you do end up getting upset, it can be helpful to ________ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的)exchange.”

Maybe there’s some  ________  in crying. I’ve definitely found that __________the taboo can lead to greater relationships with ________. I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might________have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.
