21、   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.

22、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering (不开花的) plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits protect the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float (飘) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

【1】 The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.

A. plants are important for life

B. plants can’t grow without air

C. there are many plants in the world

D. we can’t live without water

【2】 Plants can make food from _______.

A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and air

C. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light

【3】What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

A. Of all living things, animals are the most important.

B. Spores are seeds.

C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.

D. Without plants, man will die out.

【4】 What will the writer probably (可能) talk about in the following paragraph?

A. how plants can make food from air

B. how spores grow into new plants

C. why some plants have no seeds

D. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants

23、Richie Anne Castillo is a Filipino girl. Her father has down syndrome（唐氏综合征）. He also has other health problems. As a result, he has always been in and out of the hospital. But he seldom complains. Her father’s illness used to make her unhappy when she was young.

Your sweetheart,

Richie
