21、   There is a very long list of rules for the New York City subway. Don’t put your feet on a seat, don’t carry open cups of coffee or soda, don’t take more than one seat... Those are just a few of the rules. There are hundreds more.

With so many rules, why is it still unpleasant to ride the subway?

Some people think that the problem is that no one enforces the rules. Other passengers sometimes try to enforce rules. But you can’t rely on them because New Yorkers have unwritten rules against talking to strangers and making eye contact with strangers. How can you tell someone to take her shopping bags off the seat and throw away her Coke without talking to her or looking at her? It is difficult.

There are other New Yorkers who think that the subway is unpleasant because there are not enough rules. One rider wrote a letter to The New York Times a couple of weeks ago suggesting a few more subway rules. Here are some of the rules that she would like to see:

-Don’t lean on the poles. You prevent other people from holding on. They can fall down.

-Talk quietly. The trains are already too noisy.

-Give your seat to elderly passengers or to parents with small children.

If those unwritten rules of etiquette are written down, will the rude people be more likely to follow them? It doesn’t make sense to make more rules that no one will enforce.

The real problem is that we are forgetting how to be nice to each other. It is embarrassing that we need a rule to tell us to give our seat to elderly passengers. Nobody should need to be reminded to do that.

I say we stop talking about the rules and try to remember our manners. Let’s be nice to each other not because a police officer might tell us to get off the train, but because it is the right thing to do. Then New York City would be more civilized -both above ground and below.

【1】Don’t make eye contact and don’t talk to strangers are examples of________.

A.New York subway rules B.personal preferences on the subway

C.behavioral habits in New York City D.unpleasant experiences on the subway

【2】In the writer’s opinion, what measures should be taken?

A.The authority should set stricter rules.

B.The government should employ more police.

C.The citizens should ride the subway less.

D.Everyone should take better care of their behavior.

【3】The underlined word “etiquette” is closest in meaning to____.

A.manners B.phenomena C.festivals D.moods

【4】The author wrote this article in order to____.

A.introduce an unwritten rule for New Yorkers

B.describe an unpleasant ride on the subway.

C.present a real problem of disorder in the New York City.

D.give a civilized suggestion on improving the riding environment.

22、We need to fail—failure is how we learn. If we never fail at anything, we probably haven't learned all that life has to teach us. 【1】

Don't criticize yourself for trying and never stop trying.

Trying or learning something new is often half the battle. Babies don't give up until they learn to walk. If you really want to change some behavior or learn to do something new, don't give up trying. 【2】, although you may get depressed by the lack of progress sometimes.

Understand the power of optimism.

While optimism is the ‘new happiness’, there is a certain power in optimistic thinking whether you believe it or not. Putting yourself in a more optimistic mindset(心态) can open you up to more possibilities.

Learn to rely on yourself first, then others.

Those who are self-reliant are also usually more resilient—meaning they can bounce back from problems, stress and heartbreak more quickly than those who aren't. 【3】—just become your own best friend, do everything that you can possibly do for yourself, and learn what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Don't look back.

【4】. But in fact, there's nothing back there to see. Spend just 10 percent more of your time looking forward to what life holds for you in the future, and I suspect you'll find yourself in a better position.

Failure is a normal and natural pan of life that is neither good nor bad---it's just how we learn.【5】, but how quickly you can accept your failure, learn something from it and try again.

A. We should cherish today

B. But how can we avoid failure?

C. But what can help us when we fail?

D. So the question is not whether you fail or not

E. If you give up, your progress will come to an end

F. Becoming more self-reliant is easier than it sounds

G. We spend too much of our adult lives looking back.

23、   The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor — Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.

Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family’s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.

“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”

Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.

Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.

As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts’ academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn’t get elsewhere.

Under Bacow’s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.

【1】The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that   .

A. college education is out of reach to many Americans

B. his family changed their fate due to college education

C. few opportunities were available when his father came into the country

D. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.

B. Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.

C. Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.

D. Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.

【3】The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means   .

A. reactivating B. causing C. damaging D. taking over

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A. How to be admitted to Harvard University. B. The history of Bacow’s family.

C. The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts. D. Bacow’s way to individual success.

24、   Stephen Wamukota, a nine-year-old from Mukwa village in Western Kenya, is making the headlines worldwide for his creative hand-washing machine. The young boy came up with the idea after watching village residents, who didn’t have easy access to running water, struggle to find an effective way to wash their hands to avoid spreading and contracting COVID-19.

Using the few resources at hand –wood scraps, nails, and a bucket –Stephen designed and built a simple, but functional, cleansing station. The clever creation, which consists of two pedals (踏板) –one to release soap and the other to release water–enables villagers to wash their hands contact-free, thereby reducing the likelihood of catching the disease.“I had bought some pieces of wood to make a window frame, but when I came back home after work one day, I found that Stephen had made the machine,” his father, James, told the BBC. “The concept was his, and I helped tighten the machine. I’m very proud.”James credits Stephen’s building ability to the village school’s curriculum (课程), which teaches children to assemble (装配) and construct items from a very young age.

The invention, which spread rapidly after James posted a photo on Facebook, has made Stephen an instant celebrity in Kenya. In early June 2020, the country’s leader, President Uhuru Kenyatta, gave the Uzalendo Award to the nine-year-old. The newly-created presidential honor is designed to acknowledge citizens who are making great contributions towards the nation’s fight against COVID-19.

Stephen has also been promised a full scholarship to a school that can develop his creative talent by Bungoma County Governor Wycliffe Wangamati. “We are waiting for school to open to contact him about his promise. He (the governor) told me that once school opens, he will give him a scholarship to a school that can match his talents,” James told CNN.

Though thrilled at the unexpected fame and success, Stephen is not resting on his honors. The young boy has already built another hand-washing machine and plans on adding several more, so that the village, which has no reported cases of the infectious disease, can remain COVID-19-free!

【1】What problem did the villagers have?

A.They failed to get access to the COVID-19 treatment.

B.They suffered from a lack of running water.

C.They didn’t know how to wash their hands properly.

D.They didn’t know how to use the hand-washing machine.

【2】What does James think of the village school’s curriculum?

A.He sings high praise for it. B.He considers it very abstract.

C.He thinks it too professional. D.He has reservations about it.

【3】What made the invention known to the public?

A.The country leader’s promotion. B.Word of mouth from citizens.

C.An unexpected award. D.A photo on Facebook.

【4】What does Stephen plan to do?

A.Win more scholarships for his school.

B.Help report the cases of infectious diseases.

C.Build more hand-washing machines.

D.Urge the governor to perform his promise.
