21、These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation（毕业）from high school and their university（大学）studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity-and Australia is the favourite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values（价值）. Just like the 20-year-old young man William said, “During the gap year, I learnt to solve different problems all by myself and began to realize the importance of getting along with people of different cultures.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although（尽管）you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills-decision making and finding ways to problems, for example-that will help a student in a job one day.

Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.

If several university graduates（毕业生）are making applications for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say, “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get the job!

【1】More and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” ________.

A．before they graduate from high school

B．before they graduate from university

C．before getting a job after graduating from university

D．before going to university after graduating from high school

【2】What is the favourite activity for most students in the UK?

A．Spending time in Australia.

B．Spending time in the UK.

C．Spending time with their teachers.

D．Spending time with their parents.

【3】What can’t students get in gap year work in the writer’s opinion?

A．Values.

B．Skills.

C．Experience.

D．Money.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Work for the poor

B．Take a year off

C．Apply for a job

D．Travel

22、   My name is Jack. I’m a Chinese student living in the United States. When my family moved to America in 2016 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our bags, but also our village rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people should respect(尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(窘迫) in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. At one time, when I was serving food to an old couple(夫妇), the wife asked me how I could serve the food so quickly. I told her that I tried to get their food quickly because I respected the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and told me about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that cultural differences caused the problem, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to their seventies or eighties, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is too weak to work or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that respected the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they were not able to stay young. I told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more, I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

【1】After this experience in the Chinese restaurant, Jack ________.

A.no longer respected the elderly B.changed his way with older people

C.lost his job in the restaurant D.made friends with the couple

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.From this experience, Jack learnt more about American culture.

C.The manager went back to the table and said sorry to the couple.

D.Jack wanted to show his feeling through words after his experience.

【3】The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________ ”.

A.respecting people deeply B.taking nothing seriously

C.getting upset easily D.treating others nicely

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To show that we should act differently with different people and culture.

B.To tell the readers that we should always follow rules of our hometown.

C.To introduce Americans and Chinese different ideas on “being old”.

D.To explain why most Americans don’t like to be called “old”.

23、   When you have good friends, the best way to get to know them better is to have a sleep- over. A sleepover usually includes having a party and sleeping next to your good friends all night.

In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often. Some have them once every weekend or just once every month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents can call or text your friends’ parents to ask about a suitable date. Then, you have to arrange (安排) whose house you’ 11 stay at - your own or your friends’ house. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem : what if the parents don’t want so many children to be in the house all day? Well, parents can find somewhere to take the children. It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theatre or just somewhere down the road.

There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover. You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide - and - seek in the house. While you play, you can enjoy popcorn and candy. If you don’t want to play games. You can just chat with your friends about whatever you want to share.
