21、For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.

Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.

But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.

It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.

【1】The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.

A．body size

B．different beauty standards

C．culture difference

D．attitudes towards life

【2】What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．The whole world

【3】What can be inferred about the author?

A．The author is a Samoan.

B．The author succeeded in losing weight.

C．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.

D．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.

【4】According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?

A．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.

B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.

C．The feel angry about the regained weight.

D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

22、Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.

In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.

A. She couldn't get admitted to medical school.

B. She decided to further her education in Paris.

C. A serious eye problem stopped her.

D. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.

【2】How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening of her hospital?_____

A. Eight years.      B. Ten years.

23、   Two women going on a journey to green their city is the best way to describe the founders of Utility, Portland's low-waste and reuse company. It started in January 2019 and opened its first retail shop in April. Its founders, Rebecca Rottman and Nadine Appenbrink, are deeply committed to sustainability and supporters of zero waste.

They started Utility as a second job for both and as a personal journey, looking for clean products that didn't come in plastic. Their goal is to reduce the amount of single-use plastics by allowing people to bring their own reusable containers when they buy environmental friendly home and personal care items.

Every week the women teamed up with local stores to sell their goods and to refill products for returning customers. Now they are operating only online for pickup or local delivery in the Portland area. It is really easy, the company said. Just shop online and choose a container. Then select pickup or delivery. The products include all-natural dish bar soap and a wide variety of plastic-free kitchen tools.

While not completely zero waste, Utility is striving to get extremely close. Appenbrink said, “We are all on a journey. And we want to be as approachable as possible. Utility is to raise awareness about this lifestyle.” They are focused on careful growth because Utility will never ship products because of the carbon footprint involved in shipping.

There are zero waste stores in other communities, like Clean Kilo in Birmingham UK, but they are real brick and mortar (实体的) buildings. Utility's concept is so simple that it can be followed almost anywhere. Zero waste markets are the way to the circular economy that is needed to stop plastic waste, reduce our carbon footprint and have a sustainable future.

【1】Why did Rebecca and Nadine found Utility?

A．To satisfy people's basic needs.

B．To offer job chances to local people.

C．To raise money for a personal journey.

D．To promote the use of reusable containers.

【2】Which of the following does Utility focus on?

A．Reducing their carbon footprint.

B．Offering more home-made products.

C．Providing low-price shipping service.

D．Expanding their market internationally.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．It is a hard job to stop plastic waste.

B．It is easy to copy Utility's practice.

C．Zero waste stores should run offline.

D．Traditional shops produce more waste.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Two women are going on an eco-travel

B．Single-use plastics are replaced in Portland

C．A community online shop helps Portland go zero waste

D．A Portland company is changing plastic into green products

24、When someone is going through a challenging time, for instance, it can be easy to assume (假设) that he needs advice. It is then going to be as though he doesn’t know what to do, meaning that he will need to be saved. We can then end up feeling a lot of pressure — pressure that will arise through having the need to say the right things to this person. As a result of this, it is going to be about listening to what he is going through and simply being there for him; it will be about doing things for him.

Then again, this might not be something that causes us to experience any more pressure than we usually do, due to the fact that this is what we are used to doing. This is not going to be much of a surprise, considering we are likely to live in a world that is focused on doing rather than being.

When someone is going through a challenging time, what he might really need is for another person to just be there for him, meaning that having another person’s presence there will be more than enough. He will be able to express what is going on and this can allow him to let go of a lot of weight off his shoulders and to become clear about what he needs to do. We are then just being and don’t do anything, yet we would have had a big effect on him.

This could be seen as a method that women would take as one wouldn’t have done anything, while the need to do something is a more masculine method. If the other person wants our advice, we can provide it, but this is not something that we have to offer. Sitting back and not doing anything is going to be a challenge for us if we believe that our value is based on what we do. But doing something will stop us from being able to realize that our value is inherent (固有的) and that we don’t need to do anything.

No tools, techniques, special words or phrases are needed; the only thing that is needed is complete presence.

【1】For one who wants to help others experiencing a hard time, ________.

A．he may prefer to take action rather than just say something

B．he may feel much honored if they ask him for advice

C．the most effective way is to find out the reason

D．what he should depends on what they ask for

【2】In the author’s opinion, we’re living in a world where people pay more attention to ________.

A．thinking

B．being

C．listening

D．doing

【3】When someone is in a hard situation, he ________.

A．actually needs anyone’s help

B．may just want a person to talk

C．may expect others to offer useful advice

D．is unable to analyze the situation by himself

【4】What does the underlined word “masculine” in the forth paragraph mean?

A．Done by men.

B．Taken by women.

C．Accepted by most.

D．Used during communication.

【5】If a person does nothing but listening while realizing others need help, ________.

A．he will be considered unwilling to help

B．it means he wants to share the pressure

C．he is actually realizing his value in a way

D．he is adding extra pressure to them

25、The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the way. On the plain (平原)in front of us, we can just ________ some beautiful animals. This is why we’re here-to ________ Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊).Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m attracted (吸引)by their beauty. But I’m also reminded of the ________ they are in.They are being hunted for their valuable fur (毛皮)．

My guide is Zhaxi,   a volunteer,   who works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve (羌塘国家自然保护区).To Zhaxi, ________ the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “________, we’re trying to save ourselves.”

The 1980s and 1990s were ________ times for the antelopes. Their population dropped sharply. Hunters shot them to make a ________.Their habitats (栖息地) became smaller and smaller as new roads and railways were________.

To save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and other ________ watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them from being killed. Gates and ________ were added to let the antelopes move ________ and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were effective. Their population has ________. The government, ________, does not intend to stop the protection programs, since the threats (威胁)to them have not yet disappeared.

In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the ________, we must ________ our way of life.
