21、If Christmas is our nation’s biggest official holiday, certainly Super Bowl Sunday is our biggest unofficial holiday. It’s also a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments while watching football games. Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.

Over burgers and wine, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons. He described the scene as “warm, exciting energy”. But the game played just a small role in the night’s success. More important was the men’s interaction with others. “If you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t,” says Kalmanson, “As a result, the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.”

Then, the following year, when friends and YouTube fans asked about the next party, he knew that the event had already taken on a life of its own. And so began the charitable organization Super Soul Parties. Kalmanson worked with volunteers and homeless shelters in cities to organize the gatherings and transport guests on game day. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless people in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams compete with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kalmanson’s next goal is to spread the celebrations to every state.

【1】What inspired Kalmanson to invite the homeless to join in the party?

A．The arrival of Super Bowl Sunday.

B．The invitation from YouTube fans.

C．The thought of getting them involved.

D．The request from the six homeless men.

【2】What do the underlined words “had already taken on a life of its own” mean in paragraph 3?

A．The event showed its own power.

B．The event reflected its own life.

C．The event itself went on a wrong way.

D．The event surprised many people.

【3】Which of the following best describes Kalmanson?

A．Wealthy and grateful.

B．Careful and determined.

C．Humorous and helpful.

D．Sympathetic and ambitious.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A．How Super Bowl Sunday comes into being.

B．How Kalmanson organizes Super Bowl Sunday.

C．How the homeless celebrate Super Bowl Sunday.

D．How Kalmanson helps the homeless on Super Bowl Sunday.

22、Visiting the London Eye

Avoid Peak Times

The London Eye is busiest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the UK school holidays, and is quieter at the beginning and end of their opening hours, which vary throughout the year. As a rough guide, summer hours are 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. and winter hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., but do check in advance on their site for the hours on the day you plan to go. It's worth bearing in mind that it closes for around two weeks every January, for annual maintenance (维护).

Buy Tickets Online

Buying tickets online will allow you to skip the initial ticket office line and also save you 10%, if you book more than 24 hours in advance. You will, however, be tying yourself into a time slot, unless you choose an Any Time Flexi ticket. If you want to avoid waiting as much as possible, your best bet is buying a Fast Track ticket, which can be bought on the day or online (again, with a 10% discount and the bonus of skipping the ticket office line). It's an extra cost, but will grant you fast track entry through a dedicated entrance.

Travel By Train

Waterloo station (served by the tube and overland trains) is the closest to the London Eye, at just a five-minute walk away. Both Embankment and Charing Cross are fairly close, at around a 10-minute walk. Westminster station is a short and picturesque walk over the river where you'll also find the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.

【1】If you want to visit London Eye in January, what do you have to do?

A.Buy a Fast Track ticket in advance. B.Visit it between 10 a.m. and 8.30 p.m.

24、The two roads

It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal--- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.

The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snake hissed and crawled.

He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.

He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night.

The clock in the church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back”

And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.

Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

A.He was at his father’s funeral farewell.

B.He was enjoying the New Year’s eve.

C.He was wandering at the entrance to life.

D.He was having a dream of his life in old age.

【3】We can infer from the story that _________.

A.The man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like him

B.The man still had the opportunity to chose the right way

C.both the man’s parents passed away when he was young

D.the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death

【4】The passage is mainly written for _________.

A.a new driver getting lost on a detour
