21、Sylvester James Gates is the current president of the American Physical Society. He appears in a number of documentaries, and is the receiver of countless awards.
In looking back at his career, Gates credited MIT as his “intellectual birthing ground”. In fact, his path to MIT started at home. He still remembers that when he was a child, his father asked him and his three younger siblings a question: What college do you plan to attend? His father had spent his own childhood on a sugarcane farm, and then worked in the army for 27 years, never having had the opportunity to attend college himself.
“But he had an iron faith that education was the way to make progress for our family,” Gates said.
Gates first learned of MIT when he was 14. He was watching a television show, with a character who happened to be an MIT student. It left such an impression that Gates declared to his father that MIT was the college he wanted to attend. But as he recalled, “That dream almost never happened.”
He spent his high school years in Florida. He and his friends started a chess team. When they visited other high schools for matches, he saw the quality of everything, from the facilities, to the desks, and even the books — especially the books — was better than those at his own school.
This experience made him hesitate in applying to MIT. But his father, remembering Gates’ early declaration, insisted. When the acceptance letter came, it was his father who gave him the news, while sitting on the family’s rocking sofa. “He was energetically going back and forth, back and forth, and then he looked up and saw me, smiling the biggest smile,” Gates said. “And that was my introduction to MIT — that very personal welcoming from my father, who let me know that my dream could come true.”
【1】What do we know about Gates?
A．He is president of MIT.
B．He has got lots of honors.
C．His path to MIT began on farm.
D．His service in the army lasted 27 years.
【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?
A．Insightful.
B．Picky.
C．Educated.
D．Hesitant.
【3】What made Gates apply to MIT?
A．The iron faith in high school career.
B．Father’s insistence on his early dream.
C．The experience of visiting high schools.
D．His communication with an MIT student.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．It’s never too late to learn.
B．Knowledge makes one humble.
C．Making mistakes is part of learning.
D．Birth is much but education is more.
22、 Though the Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well-known as the Grand Canyon, it’s undoubtedly one of America’s most unique tourist attractions. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, with the official U.S.-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor.
Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as respect to Mrs. Haskell’s late husband, Carlos. The family hoped that citizens from both countries would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”, according to the official Haskell Free Library website.
The Haskell is divided between the two countries. While the library’s official entrance is on the U.S. side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side. The opera house is similarly split, with most of its seats in the U.S. and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the U.S. with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.
Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell’s website notes that the border inside the building “is real and it is enforced”. Visitors are expected to return to their side of the border after a visit. If they don’t, they risk possible detention and fines.
Even beyond the building’s unique position, library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers—Canadian and American alike—consider the institution to be like any other library in the world.
“We’re just trying to be the best library, and our community is made up of people from two different countries,” she said. “We don’t think of it in that big symbolic way that I think a lot of people do. These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey.”
【1】What can be learned about the Haskell Free Library?
A. It has a history of almost 100 years.
B. It runs across the U.S.-Canada border.
C. It can be compared to the Grand Canyon.
D. It is a well-known tourism site in Mexico.
【2】Why was the Haskell Free Library built?
A. To be in honor of Mrs. Haskell.
B. To donate books to the community.
C. To support the cultural needs of citizens.
D. To offer a relaxing environment for both countries.
【3】What is required if you are a visitor to the library?
A. A passport must be carried. B. Border laws must be respected.
C. An ID card must be checked. D. A personal photo must be taken.
【4】What can be inferred from Nancy Rumery’s words?
A. The library takes on a symbolic meaning.
B. She hopes to offer the best service to the visitors.
C. She expects the library to be something different from others.
D. The library strengthens the ties between the bordering countries.

24、We arranged that Kissinger(基辛格) would fly to Vietnam early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back． There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press． Then, with President Yapha’s help, he would be taken to the airport where a Pakistani jet would fly him over the mountains to China.
Kissinger’s trip was given the name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journey in China． Everything went quite smoothly． His slight illness in Islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him． They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.
