21、   The Professional Footballers’ Association will help to fund the initiative that will lead to the FA appointing up to 28 black, Asian and ethnic minority coaches to work with all England teams next season, including Gareth Southgate’s senior squad (小队).

The Times revealed details of the joint FA and PFA scheme yesterday, which could be finalised as soon as next week. Martin Glenn, the FA chief executive, is due to meet his counterpart at the PFA, Gordon Taylor, at Wembley before England’s friendly international against Italy next Tuesday. Chris Powell, the Southend United manager, has been identified as a potential addition to Southgate’s back-room staff after the World Cup, which would be welcomed by the England manager.

The FA has already held initial talks with several other coaches, including Jason Euell, Charlton Athletic’s under 23 coach, about taking on a role in the national coaching set-up at St George’s Park. The former Jamaica international has previously questioned the merit of the so-called Rooney Rule, which the FA implemented (执行) in January with a commitment to interview a BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) candidate for every coaching position. But Euell believes that the governing body’s decision to offer 28 positions is a more practical way to bring about change.

The FA has begun offering opportunities to BAME coaches, with the former Everton striker Danny Cadamarteri, who is currently a youth coach with Burnley, working with England’s under-18 squad this week. It will extend the programme after it has been approved by the FA Board. The PFA has been instrumental in developing the proposals through the work of their sponsors Brendon Batson, Garth Crooks and Paul Elliott, and have promised to provide funds to make it a success.

“This is integral (完整的) to the modernization of the FA,” Taylor told The Times. “If it’s implemented correctly, with meaningful roles, it will show the FA really means football is for all.”

However, Crooks added that it was a “monumental error of judgment” by Southgate not to take a black coach to Russia for the World Cup finals to support England’s black players in the event of racial abuse from fans.

The FA’s plans received a cautious welcome from many in the game, with the former England defender Viv Anderson saying that coaches from BAME backgrounds have been hindered (阻碍) by a lack of access. The 61-year-old was the first black player to represent England in 1978 and went on to manage Barnsley before joining Middlesbrough as an assistant coach.

“There are only a handful of black managers so there’s clearly a problem,” Anderson said. “If you go up and down the country there are black and ethnic minority players in every squad, but very few go on to become coaches, which is down to a lack of opportunity and access. There are still a lot of negative perceptions about black managers and coaches, which are totally false.” At least the FA is trying to do something, and it could make a difference.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.PFA has funded FA in the World Cup.

B.FA and PFA will work together to diversify the coach team.

C.PFA will take on black coaches for England teams.

D.FA has interviewed 28 BAME candidates for coaching positions.

【2】We can infer that Jason Euell is   .

A.working in the national coaching set-up

B.in favor of the joint FA and PFA scheme

C.likely to be one of the Southgate’s back-room staff

D.sceptical about FA’s promise to interview BAME candidates

【3】Why are many people cautious about the FA’s plans?

A.BAME coaches lack chances and access to England teams.

B.The FA Board hasn’t approved the plan for lack of sponsors.

C.Older coaches don’t possess qualifications for national coaches.

D.There are not enough BAME players to represent England teams.

【4】The author holds the view that   .

A.there are still negative perceptions about black managers and coaches

B.black managers and coaches are superior in managing football teams

C.advantages in taking on black coaches outweigh disadvantages

D.attempts are being made to show the FA means football for all

22、Born on the 24th of June, 1987, Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini is a world-famous professional football player who played for Barcelona FC and is also the captain of the Argentine National Team. Messi is often believed to be one of the best footballers playing today and he won the 2022 World Cup title with Argentina last year.

Messi was not born in a well-off family. His father was a worker in a steel factory and his mother worked part time as a cleaner. Messi had been fascinated by the sport at a very early age and joined his first club at the age of five. Unfortunately, at the age of eleven, Messi was diagnosed with having a deficiency of growth hormones（生长激素缺乏症）and his treatment to overcome the situation would require about $900 a month. While many local clubs and teams had shown a lot of interest in Messi, nobody was willing to shell out the expenses for his treatment.

However, this young boy had already managed to raise a number of eyebrows with his perfect skills and his immense talent with the ball. His strength and determination shone through on the field and he was noticed by the sporting director of Barcelona FC,   who offered him a contract on a paper napkin to join the club. He also assured him that if he moved to Spain in order to pursue a football career, the club would pay for all his medical expenses. Messi accepted the contract and moved on to Spain. Ever since that incident, Messi has gained a lot of love from football fans all over the world.

Even after becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport, Messi has not forgotten the difficult times. Consequently, in 2007,he established the Leo Messi Foundation which is to provide healthcare and also education to poor and vulnerable（脆弱的）children. Messi is surely a very inspirational figure who has made it big on the basis of his determination and skill and has combatted a difficult past to come out on top.

23、Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.

Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

【1】It can be concluded from the text that __________.

A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

【2】The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.

A. a sense of national pride

B. relevant academic knowledge

C. enthusiasm for scientific research

D. a desire to achieve success

【3】In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

A. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C. inform readers of the news and make comments

D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

24、   It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them. I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.

I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”

My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (先入为主) I may have had. I will never forget it.

【1】What does the underlined word “chum” mean in Paragraph1?

A.Gifts. B.Food.

C.Goods. D.Souvenirs.

【2】Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?

A.The author didn't want to buy it. B.The man needed it more.

C.The author was frightened by the man. D.The man got the box first.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Best Christmas Gift. B.The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.

C.An Unforgettable Bike. D.A Shopping Experience.

25、   As I look back on my life, I cannot help but wonder: why me?

At birth, I weighed less than one pound and I ______ . I ask: why me? Based on all the statistics, I ______ have made it out of the gang (帮派) ridden streets of Upstate New York, without at least some type of ______ record attached to my name. ______ , I did.Why me? After graduating from college, I ______ to join the U.S. Air Force and it got my mother's permission. I ______ for 4 years and chose to ______ the military with an honorable discharged.

After all, there were more seemingly qualified ______. I worked continually for two years, earning a ______ wage, with the only hope of one day becoming a stockbroker, so I stayed. Sure enough, when someone decided to give me a(an) ______ , I grabbed it with both hands. Again, I asked: why me?

My first year in the work, I was considered the most ______ rookie (新手) in my training class. Later I was ______ by the president of the firm and offered an executive-level position. My efforts impressed people around me. Now______ I've approached 40, when I have had a firm myself, I find I am ______ the question: why me? However, as a result of my own ______ lessons, I have come to realize the answer to that question.

It all boils down to one simple fact — How many people have you helped ______ the way? Once you make that your life's ______ you'll never have to ask yourself “why me” again! And indeed, I have helped many people, which pays off.
