21、Rock climbing (攀岩) did not become a sport until late in the 1900s. Now it has become a popular activity.

22、 For centuries, Italy’s culture has been celebrated around the world. One of its greatest gifts to the world might be the works of Dante Alighieri. This year marks the 700th anniversary of his death. Last year, Italy made March 25 National Dante Day, or Dantedi, to remember the poet.
Dante’s writing often touches on difficult topics, such as politics and philosophy. His greatest work is the famous poem The Divine Comedy. The poem is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. With more than 14,000 lines, the poem describes Dante’s journey through these places.
The poem uses religion(宗教)as a metaphor to discuss hard truths about human nature. In the poem, Dante meets people who have been punished in different ways for the things they’ve done on Earth. Some of these people were based on real government and religious officials who were corrupt(腐败的). This shows the dark side of society in the Middle Ages(中世纪). The poem makes fun of these people through the use of dark humor, as their punishments often fit their crimes(罪行) in clever ways.
Dante used common language that made his works easier for less educated people to read. The poem is also beautiful to read, even if you don’t understand it at first. This is a quality that is rare even in the best writing?
Dante’s work was highly influential( 有影响力的) in the development of literature(文学) and other art forms. The Divine Comedy is believed to be one of the most-translated works of literature. Millions of people, from everyday readers to talented writers, have found meaning and inspiration in his work. Artists such as director David Fincher and painter Salvador Dali, for example, have created works that draw heavily from The Divine Comedy.
【1】The first paragraph tells us that ________.
A.Dante was born in 1321

C.Dante finished his greatest work on March 25
D.the third Dantedi will be celebrated this year
【2】What do we know about The Divine Comedy?

【3】What do we know about the language of Dante’s work?
A.It was used by educated people.
B.It was easy for readers to understand.
C.It was beautiful but not meaningful.
D.It was commonly used in the best writing.

23、It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument (争论). We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into World War Ⅲ. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. When I said that I planned to major in English and communication, she nearly went mad.
“Why can’t you be like my colleague’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her colleague’s son received a four-year scholarship (奖学金) and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect. I can’t be like him. I want to choose a job because I love it, not because of honor or money
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle (挣扎) to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6: 30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

24、One day I found a little girl sitting in the park sadly. Lots of people passed by but never s【1】 to see why she looked so sad. As I got closer, I saw that her back had a s【2】 shape. That’s a hump (驼背)! Perhaps that was the reason why people just p【3】 by and did not help her. I sat down beside her and said, “Hello!” Then she, in a low voice, said, “Hi.” I smiled and she smiled b【4】 shyly.
Then we talked there u【5】 it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad. She looked at me and said w【6】 a sad face, “Because I’m disabled.” “But, you make me think of an angel (天使), sweet and friendly,” I said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?” I immediately(立刻) said, “Yes, I think you are an angel who is sent to watch over all those people walking by.” Hearing this, the little girl j【7】 up. “I am! I’m an angel!” I was happy because she was not sad any m【8】.
After that, my life also changed. I learned how to s【9】 both happiness and sadness with other people. I believe now we give something to o【10】 in the same way we get . As an old saying goes: Helping others to enjoy yourself.
