21、I’ve been a volunteer in the Macmillan@Glasgow Libraries programme for just over a year. I got involved because I was looking for something to volunteer for after I retired from work. I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work.

At one time, I felt I made a real difference when a lady come to use the service. She was very upset, but she was not the person with cancer. It was her partner. She had lots of things on her mind. We, together with a counselor, had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions she felt. We knew we could arrange something, so we discussed with her what could be done for her family. She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.

The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor’s surgery. The team in the library are not medically trained. That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.

It’s great that the people who volunteer all work well together, helping each other to get a solution for people who come in. It’s good to have to team at the other end of the phone whenever we get something unusual. It is a pleasure to be able to help as a volunteer.

【1】What can we infer about the author?

A．He is a retired doctor.

B．He is volunteering in a hospital.

C．He is a counselor in cancer.

D．He has fought against cancer before.

【2】Why did the lady feel upset?

A．Because she was affected by cancer.

B．Because her husband suffered from cancer.

C．Because she didn’t know how to treat cancer.

D．Because she had a poor relation with her husband.

【3】What do we know about the volunteers?

A．They do well in teamwork.

B．They receive medical training.

C．They all waited to be helped.

D．They often meet unusual things.

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A．To call on readers to do voluntary work.

B．To show us how to help those in trouble.

C．To share his experiences as a volunteer.

D．To teach us how to take care of cancer patients.

22、Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There's a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water's edge with a small metal cage（笼子）beside her.

This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles（乌龟），unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully wiping with a brush, which made me feel surprised.

“Hello,“ I said. "If you don't mind my nosiness, I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles. ”

“Pm cleaning off their shells,“ she replied.

“Anything on a turtle's shell weakens the turtle's ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time. ”

She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It's my own strange way of making a difference. ”

“Well then, don't you think your time could be better spent? It's a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don't have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference?”

The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae（海藻）from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world. ”

【1】What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2?

A．Four turtles in the cage.

C．Hurt.

D．Recognize.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Taking a Walk

B．The Power of Kindness

23、Buses take about 24 million children to school in some countries each year. Some parents think they’re the safest way to get the children to school—eight times safer than riding in a passenger car. But what parents don’t expect is that most school buses also pollute the air with tail gas, and that’s bad news for the kids on the bus.

The problem is that children are breathing in tail gas when they play near idling (空转的) school buses or while they ride the bus. Studies show that over time, breathing in tail gas can cause serious health problems—one concern is that the particulate (微小的) matter in tail gas can contribute to many illnesses, plus it’s been linked to increased risk of lung cancer.

There are several different ways to clean up school buses.

A simple change that can make a big difference is to reduce idling by turning off the engine as soon as the bus is parked. Some communities have carried out voluntary “no idling” zones, which help keep the air cleaner for bus riders and everyone else.

Another choice is to switch to cleaner burning fuels. One popular choice is B20. According to the EPA, it reduces particulate matter by about 10 percent. Another clean fuel being used in school buses is natural gas.

One of the best choices for clean buses is to replace older buses with newer, cleaner running buses. Because emission (排放) standards have changed obviously over the last 30 years, you can tell a lot about how much a bus pollutes simply by finding out how old it is. Buses produced after 1990 produce much lower particulate levels than older buses, and those produced in 1994 and later are even cleaner.

【1】What is beyond parents’ expectation about school buses?

A．Being safer than passenger cars.

B．Lower risk of suffering cancer.

C．Being faster than passenger cars.

D．The air pollution caused by them.

【2】Why should school bus engines be turned off when they stop according to the text?

A．To save money.

B．To reduce pollution.

C．To increase bus life.

D．To avoid making noise.

【3】How can you know the pollution degree of a bus according to the text?

A．By looking at its production date.

B．By examining its size of tank.

C．By checking its running distance.

D．By counting its times of idling.

【4】What is the suitable title for this text?

A．Suitable Ways to Handle Old School Buses

B．Illnesses Students Get From School Buses

C．School Bus Pollution and Ways to Reduce It

D．Serious Results Old School Buses Bring

24、Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.

In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.

I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I know that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to love that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way.

My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She spent three years practising a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使……服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.

My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.

【1】Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?

A. She would learn more from failure.

B. He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.

C. It’s impossible to do everything successfully.

D. Success is boring though good.

【2】What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter changing her show?

A. Negative.   B. Worried.   C. Anxious.     D. Positive.

【3】The author develops the article mainly by ________.

A. following the time order

B. giving examples

C. comparing different opinions

D. giving a cause and analyzing its effects

【4】The writer talked about his own experience to show that ________.

A. past failures made him dare not take risks in writing

B. we should try every possible way to avoid failure

C. the thought of failure will make you work even harder

D. we cannot depend on luck to live a good life
