21、   Tricia Hurt, her husband Brian, and their son Brady were out enjoying a fishing adventure on Marsh-Miller Lake in Wisconsin when they found a baby bear in huge suffering. According to the locals in the area, the little bear had been running on land with a plastic tub on his head for three to four days, but he somehow got into the water, worsening his condition.

The bear could be seen swimming in fear and shifting away from the family as they edged the boat closer. He was terrified, but the tub was quickly filled with water and he was in danger of drowning.

"Go a little faster, Brady. Get in front of him," Tricia instructed her son to drive the boat closer to the animal. Brian got close to the bear and tried to pull the tub out, but it had become too slippery. Brian lost his control, but he wasn't discouraged because the bear's ears had managed to come loose. That meant the plastic tub wasn't stuck and he just had to get closer.

The rescue lasted about five minutes and they made several attempts before the tub finally came off. Brady made the boat circle around the bear and his father gave one last try that set the animal free. Once the tub came off, the bear was able to swim easily to the shore and catch a much-needed break.

The family was extremely relieved as Tricia called out to the swimming animal, "Swim happily.'

"We were so excited! We did our good deed for the day. It felt good to help the poor bear. You don't like to see animals struggle." Tricia later said in an interview.

When the Hurts returned to their resort, everyone offered their gratitude. Tracy, a native, said, "No one else had been able to help the bear for several days as it struggled with the deadly tub on its head. We need more people like the Hurts!"

【1】What happened to the bear?

A．He was drowned in the lake.

B．He was hurt by hunters.

C．He got a tub on his head.

D．He got trapped by the locals.

【2】Who pulled out the tub?

B．Tricia.

C．Brady.

D．Brian.

【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A Family Outing-Timely Rescue.

B．Tubs Banned-Animals Saved.

C．Never Too Late to Save Animals.

D．An Exciting Family Adventure.

22、   There are few things in life that are more annoying: You are mid-conversation with a friend. Suddenly he bursts out laughing, making you think you’ve made a brilliant joke. But then he says: “Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you, I just saw something really funny on micro blog.” He even begins replying to a text message or checking his e-mails.

The Guardian described the scene that a friend’s face buried in a screen “a distinct 21st-century problem”. The phenomenon even coins a new word “phubbing”, referring to the act of snubbing others in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention. According to research by advertising agency McCann in the UK, 37 percent of people feel it is worse not to answer a message than it is to “phub” your friends.

Phil Reed, a professor of psychology at Swansea University who has studied Internet addiction disorder, said many phubbers show symptoms of addiction to their mobile phone.

Like pointing or picking your nose, phubbing is widely considered rude, which can be seen from the popularity of “Stop Phubbing” campaign, which started in Australia by 23-year-old Alex Haigh who wants to shame people who snub friends and family they are with in favor of checking their mobile phone.

The campaign’s website claims that “97 percent of people claim their food tasted worse while being a victim of phubbing” and “92 percent of repeat phubbers go on to become politicians”.

According to Katy Steinmetz, reporter with Time, phubbing “has a much greater potential to hamper real-life connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence”. She believes it is the reason why the campaign can resonate with people and is getting press around the world.

In the UK, Glamour magazine even imagined just how Jane Austen would have satirized those in need of social etiquette when it comes to using their smartphone. Or, to paraphrase the novelist, how it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man (or woman) in possession of a good smartphone must be in want of manners.

【1】The example in the opening paragraph is used to show ______.

A.how people benefit from modern technology

B.how to reply text messages and e-mails properly

C.how to avoid hurting your friends’ feelings

D.how mobile phone addiction damages our social relations

【2】The purpose of the “Stop Phubbing” campaign is to ______.

A.help people realize the rudeness of phubbing behaviors

B.give professional advice to phubbing victims

C.persuade people to stop using mobile phones

D.encourage people to spend more time with their family

【3】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?

A.People who often phub are more likely to make a successful politician.

B.Pointing or picking one’s nose are common symptoms of phubbers.

C.Phubbing is against human nature in that we do need real-life connections.

D.More than one third British would rather not answer a message than phub their friends.

【4】What is the tone of the last paragraph?

A.serious B.humorous C.doubtful D.indifferent

23、On a bright early summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team, and that’s a regular part of their daily life. As they train and cut seconds off their times, which makes them closer to the championship in the following large-scale (大规模的) competitions, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just honor or health related. You can learn useful life skills.

Paul Waas, coach of the swim team, explains, “The discipline (自制力) comes into play when you’re talking about concentrating on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. When you focus on what you’re doing right and what you can do better, then you’ll see the improvement.”

Besides, there is also responsibility, goals and workings within a group. Again, here is Coach Waas. “It’s really great! It’s so fun to watch from year to year. I’ve had kids who as 7-year-olds on the team could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. Now they’ve come back as 8-year-olds, having set some goals and having things that they want to achieve. These skills can help them a lot.”

But playing the sports is not without harm. Some can be hard on the body. Young athletes suffer serious injuries that follow them into adulthood. Coach Waas says that in fact, swimming is different from most others. First, it poses a lower risk of injury. The second one relates to how swim teams are structured. Actually, children are not the only ones who can benefit. Adults can also benefit from team sports.

【1】Why do the swimmers gather at a swimming pool in the early morning?

A．To obtain vitamin D from the sun.

B．To build practical skills for future.

C．To join in a large-scale competitive.

D．To carry out their routine practice.

【2】What do Paul Waas’ words imply in paragraph 2?

A．Swimmers should concentrate on details.

B．Members get disciplined and focused in the team.

C．Coaches play a key role in layers’ improvement.

D．Most swimmers enjoy sinning in the same way.

【3】What happens to the kids after a year’s training?

A．They are more aware of what to do.

B．They pay less attention to training.

C．They devote more time to practice.

D．They care more about who goes first.

【4】What does the author want to convey in the text?

A．Exercise benefits everyone.

B．Swimming is better than other sports.

C．Team sports teach life lessons.

D．Physical exercise should be a habit.

24、W e all love bank holidays. In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term. This is an official day that is decided by the government, when banks, shops and offices close for the day even though it’s a weekday—usually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.

Bank holidays are different in Colombia—firstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain ，people get more holiday allowance(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint(守护神) in their region, so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.

However, there are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July 4. Other important festivos in Colombia are :Labour Day, on May 1, and Columbus Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is a memorialization of the day that the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on the continent in the year 1492. Many people criticize this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his teams treated the people that were already living there.

【1】What is a “bank holida” according to the text?

A. An official nationwide vacation.

B. A holiday only for the bank staff.

C. A British traditional religion festival.

D. A celebration for Christmas and Easter.

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A. Colombia and Britain have the same number of festivos.

B. All Colombians have the same number of festivos.

C. Colombians have less holiday allowance than British people.

D. People in most regions celebrate a patron saint.

【3】Why do many Americans refuse to celebrate Columbus Day ?

A. Because Columbus wasn’t an American at all.

B. Because Columbus once treated the locals badly.

C. Because it wasn’t Columbus that found America first.

D. Because Columbus didn’t live in the continent of America.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. A British English term.

B. Bank holidays in Colombia.

C. Important festivos in America.

D. Different bank holidays in the world.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.

Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.

It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.

Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.

We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”
