21、 I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I suggested they recall their own teenage years. At that age they would like to be growing away from parents. They preferred to stand on their own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of going out fighting bravely on their own, most of them are grasping one another's hands for reassurance (肯定).
They declare they want to dress as they like, but they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up gathering around listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a similar way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All these create a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't, care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go for it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really matters.
【1】What will teenagers do if they are rebelling?
A.Fight bravely.
B.Wear beautiful clothes.
C.Follow the crowd.
D.Stay away from teachers.
【2】What's paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The symbols of the present rebellion.
B.The attitudes of parents to the present rebellion.
C.The reasons why teenagers fail in finding their own ways.
D.The ways of changing the teenagers' dependence.
【3】What does the author suggest?
A.Finding popularity with others.
B.Growing away from parents.
C.Staying together with friends.
D.Holding on to our own thoughts.
22、The dog that gave us the most trouble was a beagle (猎兔犬) named Murphy. As far as I’m concerned, the first thing he did wrong was to turn into a beagle. I had seen him running and jumping around on the other side of a pet-shop window, and I went in and asked the man, “How much is that lovable fox terrier (小猎狗) in the window?” Did he say “That lovable fox terrier is a beagle”? No, he said, “Ten dollars, lady.” Now, I don’t mean to say one word against beagles. They have rights just like other people. But it is a bit of a shock when you bring home a small ball of fluff in a shoebox, and three weeks later it’s as long as the sofa.
Murphy was the first dog I ever trained personally, and I was delighted at the enthusiasm with which he took to the newspaper. It was some time later that we discovered, to our horror, that—like so many dogs—he had grasped the letter but not the spirit of the thing. Until the very end of his days he felt a real sense of duty whenever he saw a newspaper—any newspaper—and it didn’t matter where it was. I can’t bring myself to go into the details, except to mention that we were finally forced to keep all the papers in the bottom of the icebox.
He had another habit that used to leave us open to a certain amount of criticism from our friends. He never climbed up on beds or chairs or sofas. But he always sat on top of the piano. In the beginning we used to try to pull him off. But after a few noisy fights in which he knocked a picture off the wall, kicked the piano, and broke a lamp, we just gave in—only to discover that he hopped up and down as skillfully as a ballet dancer.
Nowadays if I go anywhere, I just ask if they have a dog. If they do, I say, “Maybe I’d better keep away from it—I have bad allergy.” This sometimes annoys the host. But it works. It really works.
【1】The writer uses a hyperbole (夸张) in Paragraph 1 to suggest that the dog grew ______.
A. surprisingly lovable B. comfortable in the house
C. too fierce to stand D. larger than expected
【2】Which sentence shows the author’s inability to train Murphy?
A. I had seen him running and jumping around on the other side of a pet-shop window.
B. We were finally forced to keep all the papers in the bottom of the icebox.
C. He never climbed up on beds or chairs.
D. Nowadays if I go anywhere, I just ask if they have a dog.
【3】What can you infer from the second paragraph?
A. The writer tried to train Murphy to fetch newspapers but failed.
B. Like other dogs, Murphy hated newspapers.
C. Murphy learned to help the writer clean the papers.
D. Murphy liked fetching letters rather than newspapers.
【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Murphy—My Favorite Dog B. Murphy—An Lovable Dog
C. Murphy Gave Me Trouble D. Murphy Turned Into A Beagle
23、David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He had Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was “living in fear for a number of years” until he discovered his passion (热情) for running. He attended the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash, taking home the gold.
Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.
He pursued (追求) running at the Missouri School for the Blind. Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 2 winners of an essay (散文) contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome difficulty.
It’s important to be in sync with (与……一致) your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown, because he’s fast. A 10- or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking. Steward says, except for the occasional cues (暗示).
It’s also an honor, Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward, who could run alone but choose not to. He calls it “a great honor”.
【1】What made David Brown decide to compete?
A.Playing basketball.
B.Winning an Olympic medal.
C.Attending the 2008 Olympics.
D.Attending the Missouri School.
