21、W e all love bank holidays. In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term. This is an official day that is decided by the government, when banks, shops and offices close for the day even though it’s a weekday—usually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.

Bank holidays are different in Colombia—firstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain ，people get more holiday allowance(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint(守护神) in their region, so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.

However, there are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July 4. Other important festivos in Colombia are :Labour Day, on May 1, and Columbus Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is a memorialization of the day that the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on the continent in the year 1492. Many people criticize this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his teams treated the people that were already living there.

【1】What is a “bank holida” according to the text?

A. An official nationwide vacation.

B. A holiday only for the bank staff.

C. A British traditional religion festival.

A. Colombia and Britain have the same number of festivos.

B. All Colombians have the same number of festivos.

D. People in most regions celebrate a patron saint.

【3】Why do many Americans refuse to celebrate Columbus Day ?

A. Because Columbus wasn’t an American at all.

B. Because Columbus once treated the locals badly.

C. Because it wasn’t Columbus that found America first.

D. Because Columbus didn’t live in the continent of America.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

23、   It’s reported that the American College Board has made several changes to the SAT test to help more poor students receive higher education. It offers a scoring criterion beyond its own SAT test, which measures only oral and math skills. The new tool is designed to help admissions officers find if applicants have risen above limitations in their social or economic circumstances by expressing a particular characteristic: resourcefulness(足智多谋).

The new criterion, called ECD, has been tried by 50 colleges over the past year and will be carried out by 150 institutions this fall. Relying on public data , it looks at 15 factors(因素) in neighborhoods and schools that might passively influence a candidate’s college readiness. These statistics include crime rates, education levels, joblessness, and the family members that receive food stamps. It applicants come from a highly disadvantaged background yet have proper but perhaps not high SAT scores , a college might then admit them.

Resourcefulness shows an ability to seek support outside one’s self. It requires a clear purpose in learning. The new tool “shines a light on students who have shown remarkable resourcefulness to overcome challenges and achieve more with less,” says David Coleman, the College Board’s president.

The ECD also has the advantage of not taking race into consideration in admissions, a practice being increasingly closed off by the Supreme Court and many states. At the same time, in stressing a key quality for academic success, it may help prevent discrimination in admissions.

The tool is not an absolute measure of resourcefulness. It misses other types of circumstances, such as personal or family problems. Colleges must weigh many factors in admissions. Still, it could lead to a greater focus on character in education beyond the traditional pursuit (追求) of knowledge and career skills. Graduates who have stood out despite their hardships are highly desired by today’s employers.

【1】Which people can benefit from the new criterion?

A.Students from poor families. B.Students doing well at maths.

C.Students having much money. D.Students with good spoken skills.

【2】What are the new criteria when judging a candidate?

A.The attitudes to schools. B.The remarks from colleges.

C.The difficulties a candidate will face. D.The institutions a candidate will study in.

【3】What is the advantage of ECD?

A.It can make applicants successful. B.It can improve the ability of races.

C.It can provide clear learning purposes. D.It can treat applicants equally.

【4】Which graduates do employers prefer?

A.Those with excellent qualities.

B.Those having experienced hardships.

C.Those making progress in difficult situations.

D.Those with the traditional pursuit of knowledge.

24、“I’ll be back later, Lily. I know you can manage the store on your own.” Lily’s father said reassuringly as he walked towards the front door. Lily saw his eyes beaming with pride. She was thankful that her father continued to shower her with love after all the trouble she had caused him.

Lily loved climbing trees. She could not remember the countless times she ended up with a broken arm. She was scolded occasionally by her teachers for being late for school. Once, just to make herself feel good, she challenged a few boys in her class to a race, which landed her in trouble with the discipline master for coming up with the idea and not thinking of their safety in the school.

Lily was well-known among the neighbours. Surprisingly, it was not for her troubles. There were instances in which she gave items in their store for free to the needy in the neighbourhood. As she did not think it was necessary to inform her father, she did the kind act quietly. However, she forgot one thing—the cameras in the store.

No sooner had her father left than Lily saw an elderly lady coming into the store, looking tired. Slowly the woman went to a corner and took a small packet of rice. She took some cash from her purse and spoke softly, “This is all I have. Is it enough?” Lily smiled. She was short of two dollars.Lily did not want to disappoint her and thought of something. Then she said, “I think it is enough since we are having a discount today on this packet of rice.” The woman gazed at Lily, relieved.

One hour later, Lily’s father came back and looked at Lily, expressionless. Oh no, Lily thought. Did he know what I just did? Lily wondered what her father would say to her for giving a discount without his approval. Unexpectedly, he gave her a hug and said. “That’s my girl! I know you’ll make me proud one day.” His words really meant a lot to her. She was determined to mend her ways and make her parents proud.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was 11:30 a.m, and the fishing so far had been fruitless. Not another boat in sight. Andrew Sherman spotted a speck (斑点) on the horizon. As the speck approached, it started to look like a boat. “Jack,” he yelled to his son. “A boat headed straight at us!” Unbelievable. Miles of open ocean, and this boat was on course to T-bone them.

The Shermans stared at the interloper (闯入者) in surprise. Four fishing lines out, music blaring, except there wasn’t a soul in sight. The captain must have gone below, leaving his boat sailing along at 10 mph.

“Follow it, Jack,” Andrew said.

Jack hit the gas. “Hey! Hey!” the Shermans shouted. Nothing. A horrifying new thought took shape: The captain had gone below, all right—and suffered a heart attack.

Father and son switched places, and Andrew drove their boat alongside the other while Jack jumped onto the other boat’s deck, bringing the boat to a stop. Then he ventured down into the cabin. He came back up a moment later. “Empty,” he said.

“It’s a ghost boat!” said father and son nearly at the same time.

Andrew called the Coast Guard. “Man overboard,” he told them. The two men could have left it, but they were curious: What happened to the captain? The boat’s GPS system told them the missing captain had marked points along his route indicating good fishing spots. Then the points suddenly stopped a few miles back.

With Andrew driving the ghost boat and Jack driving their own craft, they headed for that last point. They were searching for what they feared would be a body.

What they didn’t know was that the ghost boat’s owner was alive in the water and growing worn out.

Two hours earlier, Sascha Scheller had been fishing when nature called. He leaned over to relieve himself, zipped up, turned back toward the helm (舵柄), and slipped.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Suddenly he was in the water.
