21、Perseverance (坚持)

What's the key to perseverance? Putting one foot in front of the other will get you the finish line, but there are tools you can use to help you face down challenges, meet your goals and truly enjoy the process, rather than just getting by. 【1】

Know what you want. Maybe your goal is specific. 【2】 Or maybe it's a more general goal, like aiming to be a happier person. Either way, the path toward meeting your goals will be much clearer if you know what you really want.

【3】 The first challenge you likely meet is improving your self-confidence. It's really difficult to make progress unless you believe you're capable of persevering. However difficult your goals may seem to reach now, you have the intelligence and power to make it.

Face reality. Having the ability to stare life's challenges in the face is a big advantage. 【4】 When a big problem arises, it's so much easier to ignore it or put off making a decision. Practice seeing challenges for what they are so you can figure out the best way around, over or through them.

Learn from your mistakes. You won't always find your way on the first try. Wisdom is gained by making lots of mistakes and trying something different the next time around. Think about what has happened. 【5】

A．Get rid of self-doubt.

B．Take your options carefully.

C．But it can be really difficult to do.

D．Then reflect on what you can learn from the experience.

E．Perseverance is a necessary quality for us to be successful.

F．For example, you may want to quit smoking or get a better job.

G．Below are a few ways that help to increase your determination to keep moving forward.

22、   I.M. Pei, whose modern designs and high-profile projects made him one of the best-known and most prolific architects of the 20th century, has died. He was 102. A spokesman for Pei’s New York architecture firm confirmed his death to the Associated Press. Pei, whose designs included a controversial renovation of Paris’ Louvre Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, died overnight, his son Chien Chung Pei told the New York Times.

Ieoh Ming Pei, the son of an outstanding banker in China, left his homeland in 1935, moving to the US and studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. After teaching and working for the US government, he went to work for a New York developer in 1948 and started his own firm in 1955.

The museums, municipal buildings, hotels, schools and other structures that Pei built around the world showed precision geometry（几何结构）and an abstract quality with much respect for light. They were composed of stone, steel and glass and, as with the Louvre, Pei often worked glass pyramids into his projects.

The Louvre, parts of which date to the 12th century, proved to be Pei ’s most controversial work, starting with the fact that he was not French. After being chosen for the job by the then president, François Mitterrand, surrounded by much secrecy, Pei began by making a four-month study of the museum and French history. He created a futuristic(极其现代的) 70ft-tall steel-framed, glass-walled pyramid as a grand entrance for the museum with three smaller pyramids nearby. It was a striking contrast to the existing Louvre structures in classic French style and was violently criticized by many French.

Pei said the Louvre was undoubtedly the most difficult job of his career. He said he had wanted to create a modern space that did not detract（减损）from the traditional part of the museum. “Contemporary architects tend to impose modernity on something,” he said in a New York Times interview in 2008. “There is a certain concern for history but it’s not very deep. I understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I don’t want to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots.”

When Pei won the international Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he used the $100,000 award to start a program for aspiring Chinese architects to study in the US. Even though he formally retired from his firm in 1990, Pei was still taking on projects in his late 80s, such as museums in Luxembourg, Qatar and his ancestral home of Suzhou.

【1】What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?

A.Pei is famous for traditional designs in architecture.

B.Pei built the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

C.Pei set up his own firm with the help of a New York developer.

D.Pei put the elements light and glass pyramids into the Louvre.

【2】What is the French attitude towards Pei’s job of the Louvre?

A.Positive. B.Neutral.

C.Critical. D.Objective.

【3】What is the purpose of Paragraph 5?

A.To explain Pei’s idea about the Louvre innovation job.

B.To list the modernity of the Louvre innovation.

C.To show Pei’s love for traditional culture.

D.To present Pei’s contributions to architecture in history.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Pei?

A.Productive and stubborn. B.Generous and persistent.

C.Hard-working and humorous. D.Tolerant and considerate.

23、Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.

This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.

Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.

Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.

Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe-currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,” Silberstein says.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.

B．To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.

C．To introduce the background of Wheel the World.

D．To remind us of the problems with hotel service.

【2】What does Wheel the World focus on?

A．Collecting travel information for tourists.

B．Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.

C．Extending travel business to the whole world.

D．Providing proper travel services for the disabled.

【3】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.

B．Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.

C．Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.

D．Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?

A．Thoughtful and full-hearted.

B．Determined and humorous.

C．Flexible but aimless.

D．Creative but hesitant.

24、Italy’s cheap old homes continue to appeal to hundreds of interested buyers, among whom was Roy Patrick, a 67-year-old British who deals in antiques in Italy. Patrick bought an old school house in the mountain village of Carrega for $16,500. It’s both an adventure and a joy.

Patrick bought the property quite by accident. When told about the wonders of the village, he toured there to take a look and was instantly struck by the 1930s school building. “The house is particular and the view is unique: The way the sun goes down over the mountains, you’d say ‘wow’. It’s a fantastic wonderland,” says Patrick.

The property was offloaded by the local government to boost the populations of communities in decline. Since the purchase, he’s been visiting every two weeks and finds it has many charms. “Top of the list is the friendliness of the local residents, followed by the breathtaking views I get out of the windows looking across the valley,” he adds.

Patrick’s initial encounter with his new home was less than promising. He had to climb through a window to open up the building, which had been shut for decades and whose door was jammed, with the keys nowhere to be found.

However, a later structural disaster turned into a positive story. When an unstable chimney (烟囱) collapsed due to a heavy snow, a neighbor volunteered to climb onto his roof to make it safe. The locals are so welcoming that they are ready to help newcomers.

During the restoration needed to make the old school habitable, Patrick unexpectedly unearthed a great many treasures: dusty piles of old text books, inkwells, pupil registers and other historical items.

Patrick has some advice for those with the thought of buying a house in Carrega: There is absolutely nothing, just great views, pure air and clean surroundings. No bars, supermarkets, or restaurants. A vehicle is essential to move around. However, Carrega does spring to life in the summer when vacationers arrive to relax. “There are nights when people throw a party with loud music,” says Patrick. “Otherwise it’s just singing birds and total silence.”

【1】What led to Patrick’s purchase of the old schoolhouse?

A．The locals’ friendly attitude.

B．Its location and rising value.

C．Its uniqueness and surroundings.

D．The government’s housing welfare.

【2】What was the government’s intention of selling the property?

A．To attract more settlers.

B．To boost local tourism.

C．To preserve village traditions.

D．To reform education system.

【3】What’s one of Patrick’s added bonuses of getting the house?

A．Acquiring more personal space.

B．Digging up some historical finds.

C．Enjoying a more active social life.

D．Getting free home decoration service.

【4】How does it feel most of the time living in Carrega?

A．Quiet.

B．Lively.

C．Modern.

D．Convenient.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

When your mother enters her ninth decade, you make a point of paying a little extra attention to any signs of decline, such as memory loss and bouts (发作) of repetition. Thankfully, my mother has been blessed with good health, and her mental abilities seem to have remained largely undamaged.

My mother looks just like many grandmothers. She is short, fat, and white-haired. She comes from an old, traditional Canadian family. She was a government official. In short, she didn’t do crazy things.

That all changed a few years ago. She began to surprise my older brother and me with bouts of what she described as “independence.” At the time, we merely saw them as examples of irresponsibility and possibly age-related questionable judgment.

In early 2015, the year she turned 75, she informed us she’d booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was strange. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A single little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land- it was impossible!

She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turns out, she had hardly spent any time alone after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for a few days. He took her to outdoor markets, temples, and restaurants. He introduced her to a rug vendor (地毯商贩), “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some rugs from him.

Paragraph 1:

The vendor had taken her address details and promised to ship the rugs home.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Some weeks later, to our great surprise, the vendor arrived, together with the rugs.
