Knowing she wouldn’t be able to persuade the driver, the older woman was about to get off the bus, when Oliver stepped in.

22、   One recent night， while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal， my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked， “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words， ideals—general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others—can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin， the year of their birth or any other related factors.

I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes：Jewish people were“greedy”， Mexicans were“poorly educated”， and Asians were“good at math”.These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way into our belief systems， harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination.

You can also see these over-generalized descriptions being made against today's Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among mile millennial being described as “monkish”， or“dad-fashion”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag.stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.

It's about time that we， as a society， walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech：“T look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin， but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.

B.By truly getting to know those around.

C.By observing their noticeable features.

D.By following Martin Luther King's speech.

【2】Examples of“millennial”and dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph 3  to reveal .

A.generalizations have unfavorable position in society

B.generalizations have a negative influence on our society

C.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-age Chinese

D.generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry

【3】The passage is mainly concerned with   .

A.the common prejudice

B.people's expectation of themselves

C.the groundless worries

D.the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr.

23、   Waterbuurt is a residential(住宅的) development in Amsterdam, which consists of nearly 100 floating homes on Lake Eimer.

The floating homes are not ordinary houseboats but real floating houses. They only move with the changing tide(潮水). Designed by Dutch architect Marlies Rohmer, the houses have a basic design but are also comfortable. Although Waterbuurt is still a work in progress, there are some of the houses where there are already residents.

Two thirds of the Netherlands’ people live below sea-level, and with the flooding(发洪水) becoming a serious concern, there are many who believe that living on water in the European country is much safer than living on land. The prices of land homes in large city centers like Amsterdam has risen in recent years. But water is not that expensive.

“Moreover, houses in the cities have to stay there for 50 or 70 years,” Dutch architect Koen Olthuis said. “And as cities change, the only choice is to demolish these houses and build new ones. But floating buildings can be moved and adapted.”

The floating homes are built atop underwater platforms, and consists of a light steel frame(钢架) and wooden walls and paneling(嵌板). The bedrooms and bathroom are located on the lower floor, which is partially flooded. The kitchen and dining room are located on the higher ground floor, while the main living area and the outdoor terrace are on the top level.

All floating homes are designed with a lot of extras that buyers can choose, like floating terraces,a second entry, or a boardwalk around the house.

Waterbuurt is set to become the largest water settlement in the history of the Netherlands. Apart from floating houses, it will include floating parks and even floating high buildings. It is sure to meet even the most difficult buyers and win more acceptance from local people.

【1】What can we infer about the floating houses?

A．The prices are slightly lower.

B．They are free from flooding.

C．They are easy to take down.

D．The total completion is done.

【2】What does the underlined word “demolish” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Build.

B．Destroy.

C．Design.

D．Buy.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Waterbuurt can exist for 50 to 70 years in total.

B．Waterbuurt is very common in Amsterdam now.

C．People are unwilling to accept this new kind of house.

D．Floating houses have as many functions as traditional houses.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Waterbuurt?

A．Curious.

B．Optimistic.

C．Indifferent

D．Pessimistic.

24、With the world’s attention on vaccines (疫苗), now feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contribution to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated (接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu’s willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place.

Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey in 1717. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus (脓) from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people’s wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection.

Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated in Turkey. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors’ professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Churchmen also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.

Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.

Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice. About so years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The origin of smallpox inoculation.

B．Montagu’s first access to inoculation.

C．The benefits from smallpox inoculation.

D．Turkish women’s invention of inoculation.

【2】Montagu found it difficult to try inoculation in England because ________.

A．it was against human nature

B．it might harm doctors’ interests

C．it was beyond doctors’ abilities

D．it might shake churchmen’s belief

【3】What led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation?

A．The increased severity of smallpox infections.

B．A physician’s discovery of smallpox vaccines.

C．The result of Montagu’s daughter’s inoculation.

D．Montagu’s focus on its rewards rather than its risks.

【4】What might be the best title of the test?

A．An unsung hero

B．No limit to creation

C．Development of vaccines

D．A historic medical innovation
