21、Just when you think life is going a certain way, there can be an unexpected twist of fate. James Fox found this out after meeting a total stranger.

Life is not easy for James Fox. His arms and legs are disabled because of an accident. Even worse he was homeless. One day he was riding on a skateboard heading to his mother’s house when a man stopped his truck and asked James if he’d like a ride. The driver’s name is Dan Creighton, who’s a CEO of Creighton Construction and Development. Concerned for James’ safety, Dan decided to offer a lift.

Dan offered to purchase him an electric wheelchair, but James refused. He simply told Dan that he was on his way to his mom’s house. Dan told James to reach out if he needed anything. They didn’t meet each other until two years later, when Dan spotted James at a bus stop. He didn’t hesitate to pull over and ask if James wanted a ride.

James remembered Dan, and admitted that he was on his way to the Social Security office for help. At that time James had no family support anymore. Both his mom and dad had pas-sed away after the pair had first met. Even though Dan didn’t know much about James, he took him to his office and gave him a $10, 000 check. Since then, James has become like a member of Dan’s family and has even started up on his main passion, computer work, once more.

Dan even bought James a flat in South Point Villas. The home is completely accessible as the floors flow throughout, so James can use his skateboard to get about. Dan also created a GoFundMe for. James, called “Let’s Make 2020 James Fox’s Best Year Yet”. The target was set at $13, 000, but it has already surpassed $10, 000.

22、   Every four or five years, vast quantities of warm water build up along the west coast of South America. This phenomenon, El Niño (厄尔尼诺), creates storms that cause devastating floods. The result is costly. In 2017, for instance, El Niño shut down northern Peru’s sugar-cane business.

Modern farmers view El Niño stoically (坚忍地). They use money saved in good years to rebuild in bad ones. But history suggests it need not be like that. In a paper published recently, Ari Caramanica, an archaeologist at University of the Pacific, in Lima, shows how it used to be done. And the answer seems to be, “better”.

Dr Caramanica and her colleagues have been studying the Pampa de Mocan, a coastal desert plain in northern Peru. Pampa de Mocan is not ideal for farming. Its soil contains little organic matter and the annual rainfall in non-Niño years is usually less than two centimetres. Today’s farmers therefore depend on canals to carry water from local rivers to their fields.

It had been assumed that ancient farmers had a similar arrangement — and so they did. But Dr Caramanica also found eight canals that could carry water far beyond the range of modern farms. Since the climate was similar to the present day’s when these canals were dug, and the river no higher, she supposed that they were intended to guide the floodwater arriving during Niño years. Around a quarter of the ancient agricultural infrastructure (基础设施) of this area seems to have been built only for managing Niño-generated floodwater.

Evidence reveals that Pampa de Mocan produced lots of crops in some years. Dr Caramanica’s team also discovered two cisterns (蓄水池) in the area. These, possibly, were used to store floodwater.

These findings suggest that, rather than resisting El Niño, early farmers in Pampa de Mocan were ready to make use of it when it arrived. Precisely how they managed their fields in Niño years remains to be discovered. But modern farmers might do well to learn from them.

【1】What do we know about El Niño from the text?

A．It can be used in farming.

B．It is usually caused by floods.

C．It has little influence on business.

D．It is always resisted as a disaster.

【2】What made the farms in Pampa de Mocan productive?

A．Rich soil.

B．Agreeable climate.

C．Abundant rainfall.

D．Agricultural constructions.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the ancient ways of dealing with El Niño ?

A．Approving.

B．Indifferent.

C．Critical.

D．Negative.

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

A．Surviving El Niño

B．Living with El Niño

C．Farming in Different Times

D．Learning from History

23、Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

【1】The new products become more and more time-saving because   .

A. our love of speed seems never-ending

B. time is limited

C. the prices are increasingly high

D. the manufactures boast a lot

【2】What does ＂the days＂ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?

A. Imaginary life.   B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions.   D. Time for constant activity.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?

A. Critical   B. Objective.

C. Optimistic.   D. Negative.

【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The present and past times.

B. Machinery and human beings.

C. Imaginations and inventions.

D. Modern technology and its influence.

24、Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city.

Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes and look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson, already stored in a database of the city’s 311 call system. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype.

While developing the app, the boys took part in a Minority Male Makers Program sponsored by Verizon and held at Jackson State University. They learned 3D printing and design, and how to create apps. Through the program Chokwe and his friends received encouragement and guidance.

Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve the app. He hopes to add more to it until it spreads all over the country.

【1】Why is the car damage mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. To scold the road builders.

B. To introduce their bad luck.

C. To tell the inspiration for the app.

D. To warn the danger of careless driving.

【2】What is the app used to do?

A. Warn drivers about potholes.

B. Help drivers obey traffic rules.

C. Stop drivers using mobile phones.

D. Tell drivers to avoid red lights.

【3】How does the app work through the 311 call system?

A. By replying to citizens’ calls.

B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.

C. By settling non- emergency problems.

D. By using its information about potholes.

【4】Which can be Chokwe’s future target?

A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.

B. Taking part in more learning programs.

C. Making the app available for sale online.

D. Making the app include streets nationwide.
