22、For more than two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the United States Presidency, the U.S. government, and the American people. In 1790, President George Washington declared that the federal government would reside in a district “not exceeding ten miles square … on the river Potomac.” As preparations began, a competition was held to find a builder of the “President’s House.” Nine proposals were submitted, and the Irish-born architect James Hoban won the gold medal for his practical and handsome design. Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw (监督) the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife Abigail, moved in.

American presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate the house and in how they receive the public. Thomas Jefferson held the first inaugural (就职典礼) open house in 1805; many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, Jefferson welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. Abraham Lincoln did the same, but then the inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate comfortably, and this also created a security issue. It was not until Grover Cleveland’s first presidency that some effective crowd control measures were implemented to address the problem caused by this practice.

At various times in history, the White House has been known as the “President’s Palace,” the “President’s House,” and the “Executive Mansion.” President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.

【1】What is this passage mainly about?

A．The design of the White House.

B．The location of the White House.

C．The importance of the White House.

D．The history of the White House.

【2】What does “this practice” refer to in the second paragraph?

A．Holding an inaugural open house.

B．Accommodating the crowds comfortably.

C．Decorating the White House.

D．Joining in the swearing-in ceremony.

【3】Who initiated the construction of the White House?

A．John Adams.

B．James Hoban.

C．George Washington.

D．Thomas Jefferson.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the White House?

A．The White House has had several names.

B．The designer of the White House was an American president.

C．People were not allowed to visit the White House during wartime.

D．The White House is located in a district not larger than ten miles square.

23、I was twenty-two, and in Bolivia. I’d been to every other country in South America, and now I was set on getting into Chile, the last on the list.

After several days, I reached the hills. It was cold, and even the distant mountains were clear. The days were lonely, but one evening I met Filomeno and his fellow teachers. They tried to persuade me not to go to Chile, saying it was a bad place, and that I would be killed. I didn’t believe them. I knew nothing of the current politics; I just wanted to go there.

So I walked into the mountains, feeling excited, and came to a sign with the word "Chile" on it. A frightening soldier appeared, stuck a gun in my back, and pushed me down a slope to the police station. The police chief then told me, "There’s nothing for you here." I explained that I had come to see this beautiful country. But he was annoyed.

In the evening they filled me with food. There was laughter, and I was less tense. Then the police chief took me to a tiny cell. I lay down on the mattress (垫子). Even though I had no light and none of my possessions, I felt euphoric. At least I had arrived! And what a story I’d have to tell! The next morning I was released, and I was told that Chile didn’t want me. Throwing my belongings into my backpack, I shouted and screamed at the soldiers. After all this effort I was being sent home! I stomped (以重踏步方式走) towards Bolivia expecting to feel a bullet. But I’d be back! I told myself.

【1】The author went to Chile to ______.

A. visit his friend Filomeno B. settle there forever

C. complete his trip plan   D. risk his life

【2】The underlined word "euphoric" in Paragraph 4 most probably means "______".

A. terrible B. shamed C. bored   D. excited

【3】According to the last paragraph, the author lost his temper because ______.

A. he was prevented from entering Chile

B. he was badly treated by the soldiers in Chile

C. it was his last chance to travel

D. his friends had stopped him from going to Chile

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. An exciting fight with soldiers in Chile.

B. How the author escaped from Chile.

C. An adventure in Chile.

D. Why the author went to Chile.

24、With New Year approaching, year-end reviews dominate the airwaves.【1】. Lose ten pounds? Read a book a month? However, I’ve never given much thought to New Year’s resolutions. I make intentions instead. It means setting one’s purpose toward a path instead of action toward specific behaviors. And more than that, I’m setting them in a framework (框架) that will give them wings.

Set time, not goals

A wise friend once told me “Do not set a result as the goal. Set the time in which you do the things you want to do.” For example, I usually tell myself I should write more.【2】. Then, I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write, say, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 :30 a. m.

Take advantage of the Premack Principle

The Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of a high-probability behavior can make a low-probability behavior more likely.【3】 . So, now that I’ve set my intention to write and the time to write, I can link it to a high-probability behavior, such as dropping my kids off at school in the morning. The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self-motivating talk.【4】 .

【5】

Let’s face it, no matter how much you set an intention, if there’s no enjoyment once you start, it will likely fall by the wayside. So, find a path you enjoy that will bring the same results. In truth, I hate exercising, but, luckily, I walk my dog. A lovely way to exercise, go out in nature, enjoy companionship, and meet people !

A．Face your intention directly

B．One intention, multiple paths

C．Over time, it becomes routine as well

D．But the result proves far from satisfactory

E．Perhaps most are also making new year resolutions

F．Resolutions seem to hold people prisoners rather than free them

G．In other words, to enact a new behavior, attach it to a well-established behavior

25、I was never a fan of football, or any sports for that matter. At primary school, my classmates spent lunch break ______ on the playground, while I was in the library getting pleasure from ______ . In Games lessons, to fit in, I ______ to be interested.

As I got older, I ______ trying to fake (假装) it. Instead, I showed off my dislike for football as a sign of ______ “It’s only a silly game!” I’d tell Dad, as he ______ me to watch a match.

But, sometimes I’d find myself ______ an opener like, “Cor, a terrible season we’re having, eh?”, or ______, “Who do you support?”, and feel my heart sink, knowing my reply would surely ______ .

And then I became a dad, and I didn’t want my boy Harvey to ______ this desirable social skill. So I bought him ______ to watch our local team, Boreham Wood. And, because he kept asking me what was going on, I stayed relatively ______ on the game.

Almost without noticing, my ______ of support when “The Wood” scored a goal were actually real, as were my sighs when “we” missed a penalty kick (罚球).
