21、During the "golden week" national holiday that began on October 1st, hundreds of thousands of sightseers flocked to Lijiang, a picturesque historic town in the south-western province of Yunnan. Among its attractions are the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts （Starbucks included）. They are Dongba pictographs, an ancient form of script（文字）that originated among the Naxi, a local ethnic group. It almost died until about a decade ago, when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it.

Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi, of whom there are about 300,000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as in Tibet and Sichuan province. The pictographs, which evolved as early as the seventh century, were developed by shamans （巫 师）of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.

Over 20,000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi people thought about war, geography, astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the area's Dongba priests（神职人员）. There are about 600, most of them very old, including Yang Guoxing, who ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was growing up, “everyone was too busy farming” to learn it. Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture， he says.

Signs at bus stations in rural Yunnan encourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute, says this is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp “the very spirit of their own culture”. And this will also help tourism to develop in Lijiang.

【1】What do we know about the Dongba script?

A．It is widely used by local people.

B．It was a tool used by certain people.

C．It was quite popular at certain periods.

D．It has a history of more than 3000 years.

【2】According to Yang Guoxing, what makes it difficult to spread the Dongba script?

A．Only priests can read it.

B．It's extremely hard to read.

C．Its value hasn't been fully recognized.

D．People are too busy to learn a new language.

【3】What has been done to keep the Dongba script alive?

A．New schools are opened to teach it.

B．Some tourists are invited to preserve it.

C．Only the Dongba script can be used in schools.

D．People are more exposed to this language than before.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A．The Dongba Script Is Dying

B．The History of the Dongba Script

C．The Dongba Script Survives in Lijiang

D．The Influence of the Dongba Script

22、When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.

Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.

Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November.

23、Born blind is unfortunate in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the stars.

Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old man is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries.

Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn’t quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.

Concerned this would hold back Srikanth’s development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying science when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too dangerous for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Sriksanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study science.

Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70% of whom are physically challenged.

Being disabled doesn’t mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing’, I will look back at the world and say I can do anything,” says the young man.

【1】What made little Srikanth live?

A．His luck.

B．His parents’ love.

C．A wonderful dream.

D．A village’s common belief.

【2】How did Srikanth’s family deal with his challenges in the regular school?

A．By letting the child bear them.

B．By moving to another place.

C．By sending him to a special school.

D．By complaining to relevant departments.

【3】Why was Srikanth refused to study science at first?

A．He was too young to study it.

B．He was disliked by his teachers.

C．It was illegal for him to do so.

D．It was considered unsafe for the blind man.

【4】What kind of person is Srikanth?

A．Determined.

B．Dishonest.

C．Outspoken.

D．Impatient.

24、   Red Adair became “the man to call” if you wanted a fire in an oil well put out, a task that was extremely dangerous and difficult.

One of Red Adair’s most dangerous jobs was in 1962. He and his men put out a natural gas fire in the Sahara Desert in Algeria. The fire had been burning for six months. The fire was so fierce that American astronaut John Glenn could see it from space as he orbited Earth and the sand around the fire had melted into glass from the extreme heat. This famous fire was called the “Devil’s Cigarette Lighter”.

Adair’s success with the big fire and earlier well fires captured the imagination of the American film industry. In 1968, Hollywood made an action film called “Hellfighters” which was roughly based on events in Red Adair’s life. Adair said one of the best honors in the world was to have John Wayne play him in a movie.

In 1988, Adair troubleshot what was possibly the world’s worst ocean accident at the Piper Alpha oil platform in the North Sea. Not only did Red Adair and his team have to put out the fires but they also had to deal with winds blowing at more than one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour, as well as the sea which was at least twenty meters high.

In March of 1991, Red Adair went to Kuwait to put out about seven hundred Kuwaiti fires following the Persian Gulf War. His efforts saved millions of liters of oil. Some experts say the operation also helped prevent an environmental tragedy.

Red Adair died at 89. Many Americans remember him as a very brave man. He lived his life troubleshooting danger. He was known for risking his own life to save others.

【1】Why was John Glenn mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A.To explain how the sand melted.

B.To confirm it was a natural gas fire.

C.To prove the fire was really big.

D.To show Adair’s job was important.

【2】What can be learned about Hellfighters?

A.It was a big hit in Hollywood.

B.It was directed by John Wayne.

C.It is a documentary on firefighters.

D.It is mainly based on Adair’s life.

【3】What happened in 1988?

A.Adair was asked to put out a big ocean fire.

B.Many people died in a big ocean fire accident.

C.Adair helped prevent an environmental tragedy.

D.Strong winds caused a big ocean fire.

【4】What can be the best title of the passage?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

With sunlight flooding through the window, I was sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying the breakfast with my son, our cat, Rosie, rubbing itself against my son’s legs from time to time. After assigning my son what he would do in the morning, I also engaged myself in my work. However, within only minutes I could hear my son jumping around and laughing, doing who-knows-what but certainly not his schoolwork. “Stop playing and get your schoolwork done!” I yelled from my room where I was working. There was complete quiet for a while, and then the noise started up again.

“What are you doing? I shouted.” You know you can’t have a break until the schoolwork is done!” As a single mom working from home and home-schooling my son, I had to finish my work each day and help my son gain knowledge and form a good learning habit.

“Rosie stole my pencil, Mommy! I can’t do my schoolwork!” The response came in a voice that sounded as though he surely didn’t mind having a pencil stolen. With a sigh, I pulled myself away from work and entered my son’s room. There I saw our cat, Rosie, sitting on the desk with the pencil between her feet. She threw it and bit it, and then sat right on my son’s books. I walked up to the desk and removed her from it.

This had become the norm. Rosie often disturbed my son. They were good friends and my son never minded Rosie disturbing him. Each time Rosie caused trouble, I wanted to lock her inside the bathroom. But when seeing how my lonely son, who was shy, homeschooled and had few friends, enjoyed Rosie’s company, I abandoned the idea.

That day, I finally made a rule after trying to remove Rosie from the desk for the millionth time. “If you focus on your work and don’t let her distract you, she can stay on the desk. Otherwise, I’ll lock her in the bathroom,” I told my son. Then I moved Rosie off his books and onto the side of the desk, making her lie down.
