22、Learning a foreign language is complex, because not only do you discover new words, new grammar rules and another culture, but also you must learn how to pronounce new sounds clearly. 【1】 In the beginning, it’s not easy for your organs (器官).

You may have already noticed that sometimes you can feel your muscles after reading words out loud in a foreign language. However, you don’t totally recognize your voice and feel strange, because the frequencies of each language are different. 【2】 The more you read out loud, the more comfortable you will be. That’s why each language textbook is often accompanied by a CD.

【3】 You can read your texts and all the things that are interesting for you. The only function of them is to practice your pronunciation. Only if you read them out loud can you benefit from them.

At the beginning of the learning of a language, focus on the pronunciation rules first. Before you are ready to read a text out, listen carefully to your teacher or the audio (音频) recordings. 【4】

However, don’t count on this way of reading to understand the text more easily, especially when you read it for the first time. Indeed, it’s an exercise of pronunciation. 【5】 It’s important to be able to catch the global meaning of the text first. And then you can focus on its details and finally you can read it aloud.

A．This requires a new activity of your mouth.

B．Pronunciation rules help you understand them.

C．There is a wide selection of related reading materials.

D．For a written material, take your time to scan it in advance.

E．Reading out is not necessarily the best way to learn a language.

F．Listening to the foreign language helps you copy the pronunciation

G．To feel more comfortable quickly, it is essential for you to read out loud.

23、It hadn't been easy, but Elia Gonzalez had always managed to keep her family fed by stretching her husband's modest income as a cook at a restaurant in Puerto Rig's capital, San Juan. But that changed in mid-March, when those bars closed and her daughter's school, where she'd gotten free breakfast and lunch, did too.

By April 20, Elia and her husband had to skip meals to save food for their children. Still, by the end of April, all they could give their children was a bowl of rice with an egg mixed in.

Her sons, 4 and 5-year-olds, would ask for more. But her oldest daughter, Angellia, a talkative kindergartener, tried to comfort her mother.

“She said, 'Mama, I'm still hungry',   Elia said, “but she told me it was OK because she was big and could wait until I got more food. That hit me hard."

A study in 2015 found that 22 percent of adults reported skipping meals because they didn't have money for food in Puerto Rico. "Now, the rate is much higher,“ said Jose Caraballo-Cueto, co-author of the study. "The unemployment rate has risen to 46 percent and the average saving rate here is zero. "

The worsening food crisis has brought people in Puerto Rico closer. Christel Galindez, a community leader, has been picking up thirty cooked meals a day from a church near her home and delivering them to different families every day. "Do you know when people are really in need?” Christel asked. "When you show up with a plate of food and they start to cry!"

During her daily food delivery run last Wednesday, she drove up to Elia's front door playing a birthday song through her car's speakers. Angellia rushed out with a big smile and started dancing to the music when Christel handed three containers of food and three cupcakes to her mother.

"Thank you so much. Today happened to be Angellia's sixth birthday. But I had nothing in the kitchen," said Elia, who was struggling to hold back her tears.

【1】Where had Elia's daughter got her breakfast and lunch on her schooldays?

A．At home.

B．At her father's restaurant.

C．At school.

D．At a church in the neighborhood.

【2】Why are Jose Caraballo-Cueto and his study mentioned in paragraph 5?

A．To summarize the previous paragraphs.

B．To provide answers to the problem.

C．To add some background information.

D．To introduce a new topic for discussion.

【3】Why did Christel come to Elia's house?

A．She was on her way to help those in need.

B．She was sent by a church to deliver food.

C．She came to celebrate Elia's birthday.

D．She made some cupcakes for the children.

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

A．Angellia, a Lovely Girl

B．The Health Crisis in San Juan

C．Crisis Can Bring People Closer

D．Hunger Spreads Quickly in Puerto Rico

24、   Grandma was going to turn eighty-two on Friday. I heard Mom ordering a cake from the  bakery over the phone. “Don’t put any icing on it,” she said, “Just a plain angel cake.” Angel cake with fresh strawberries was her favorite. So Mum was ready.

That afternoon when Dad came home, he showed me the phone he had bought for Grandma.  “It has speed-dialing,” he said. “She won’t have to push so many buttons when she calls the doctor’s office or her sister.” Dad looked pleased. “Her fingers are so stiff with arthritis ( 关节炎)that the phone seems a good idea.”

But what about me? Here I was with only one dollar in my pocket and one night to think of a gift. Even though Mom always insisted that “it’s the thought that counts,” I had a big problem. My mind was even more empty of ideas than my wallet was empty of money.

When I have a problem, it sometimes helps to shoot a few baskets in the driveway. Dribble( 运球), shoot, rebound.

For a while I just played without even trying to think. I began to remember back before Granddad died. When we used to visit them in Kentucky, Granddad showed me how to do a jump shot. Thinking about Granddad made me sigh. Grandma’s life was a lot happier when he was alive.

Swish! I’d made two in a row.

Suddenly, I remembered a green glass dish in the shape of a leaf that Grandma used to keep on a table back in Kentucky. It was always full of those red-and-white-striped peppermint candies（薄荷糖）. I hadn’t thought of that dish for a long time. Maybe it was lost or broken when Dad rented the truck and brought Grandma and the belongings to Ohio.

Just thinking about that candy dish made me taste the peppermint slowly dissolving on my tongue. I could almost hear Grandma saying，“Help yourself to a piece of peppermint, Burt.” That voice had a smile behind it. It was a voice I hadn’t heard for a long time.

Aha! I took one last shot, then dribbled to the back door, ran up the steps two at a time, and grabbed my wallet.

【1】What do you know about the author’s grandma?

A.She has difficulty moving fingers. B.She loves high-tech products.

C.She doesn’t like a plain cake. D.She has a sweet tooth.

【2】What does the underlined word “dissolving” mean in the last paragraph but one?

A.Melting. B.Spreading. C.Sinking. D.Covering.

【3】What would the writer probably buy in the end?

A.Something to contain candies. B.Something bringing good memories.

C.Something convenient to use. D.Something to Grandma’s taste.

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

A.The Good Old Days B.The Gift of Gratitude

C.The Thought That Counts D.The Inspiration from Basketball
