22、   Elizabeth Anionwu, who has received four honorary degrees for her excellent work in nursing, has devoted her life to improving the lives of thousands in the black community who are suffering with sickle cell disease.

Born to an Irish woman and a Nigerian man, her own upbringing was tarnished by racial discrimination and cruelty. Soon after her birth in 1947, she was sent away to a children’s home run by nuns (修女) who were, at times, very unkind indeed. Once, she was made to stand with a dirty wet sheet over her head as a punishment for wetting the bed.

But a caring nursing nun she met at the age of four inspired her career in nursing. “I had painful eczema (湿疹), which the nuns would treat with a special medicine and cover with bandages,” she explains. “Other nuns would tear them off in a hurry and my skin would break and bleed. But one nice nun treated me very gently and I never felt a thing. Later on, I discovered she was a nurse and I decided that’s what I wanted to be.” At 16 she became a school nurse assistant, which was the start of a 50-year career as a nurse and professor.

In the early 70s, Anionwu had her first encounter with sickle cell anaemia-a painful disease found mostly in African and Caribbean families-which at the time was often overlooked. Families had no information about how to cope with their illness or the symptoms to look out for, so Anionwu took action, raising awareness of the disease and setting up the Sickle Cell Society. It’s then that she became the first sickle cell and thalassemia (地中海贫血症) specialist in Britain.

Elizabeth Anionwu has spent her life as a nurse and tutor, working with black and minority communities in London. In 2019, she was presented with the Pride Of Britain’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her great services to nursing.

【1】What does the underlined word “tarnished” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Inspired.

B．Troubled.

C．Moved.

D．Discouraged.

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A．People knew a lot about anaemia.

B．People with anaemia didn't suffer much.

C．Anionwu noticed anaemia before the 1970s.

D．Anionwu was actively involved in fighting anaemia.

【3】Which of the following best describes Elizabeth Anionwu?

A．Independent.

B．Respectable.

C．Ambitious.

D．Trustworthy.

【4】Where is the text probably from?

A．A guidebook.

B．An autobiography.

C．A news report.

D．A book review.

23、Someone once said, “If all your problems can be solved with money, then you don’t have any.” Unless you are going to lose everything, your perceptions (理解) of your problems may not be serving you well.

Can you pay your living expenses? If so, you are okay. Even if you are a family that just hardly makes ends meet every month, count that as a blessing. Most of us also have those over-the-top unexpected bills, but unless you lose your job or your mind, don’t you always find a way to deal with those expenses?

To see if you worry too much about finances, ask yourself a few questions, such as “Do you wake up worried about money?” or “Do you check your bank balance and look at upcoming bills more than once every few days or even several times a day? ” If so, then you may have a little financial insecurity going on. Anxiousness is contagious (有感染力的), so be careful whenever you want to share your financial fears.

TMI (too much information, meaning that you say more than you need to) happens because it seems to you that by sharing your feelings of anxiety, you will feel better and hopefully more supported, but not with your loved ones, because they will take on your fear. Neither is it good for them nor for you yourself to lay your financial fears at the feet of your family. If you get emotional, so will those closest to you. Talk instead with your financial advisor or your bank manager.

It’s hard to pay no attention to money, but honestly, it’s really the best way to get this problem solved. Look closely at the money you own, and decide what the best thing for you to do with your time right now is. Then again, you may need to hire an accountant and go on some interviews. The point is simple: the only way to set you free from the uncomfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action.

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Financial problems are not key ones in our daily life.

B．You’d better calm down when you have financial problems.

C．You needn’t worry about unexpected bills even if you’re out of work.

D．When you have financial fears, remember to share feelings with others.

【2】In the third paragraph, the author tells us a way to tell ____.

A．how often we should check our bills

B．whether we face financial insecurity

C．whether we should worry about money

D．how much we should care about money

【3】The phrase “lay your financial fears at the feet of your family” probably means_____ .

A．solve financial fears caused by your family

B．help your family smartly avoid financial fears

C．make your family responsible for financial fears

D．encourage your family to solve financial fears on foot

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Money and Its Practical Value

B．Financial Problems and Family Support

C．Balancing Financial Problems and Life

D．Dealing with Money Worries

24、The post office is not my favorite place. However, that was the day I went through the door with a huge smile. My story had been accepted for publication. I had read the e-mail three times before I actually believed it.

Grasped in my hand was the form giving permission to print my story. No faxing for me — I decided to send it back through the mail just to be sure it reached its destination. Filled with excitement, I told the clerk about my good news. “Wow, look at you go!” she said. “That will be ten dollars.” I reached for my credit card. “Our system doesn’t work today, so we can only accept cash,” said the clerk. I searched through my purse. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried cash. But now, I rarely did. Then a deep voice behind me said, “I’ll take care of it.” I hadn’t noticed the man behind me. I turned to meet him as he held out a ten-dollar bill.

“Congratulations on your story,” he said. “Just pay it forward.” I thanked him. Then I drove to the seaside restaurant to meet Tina. As we walked back toward our cars, I noticed something on the sidewalk, shining in the sun. I picked up a credit card.

“How are we going to find the person who dropped this?” Tina asked. “First, let’s try to spot someone who seems to be searching anxiously,” I said. A moment later, Tina said excitedly, “I’ll bet that’s her!” A young mother had a baby on her back as she dug through some bags.

I approached the woman. “Are you Jessica Slate?” I asked.

Her eyes grew round. “Yes!”

“I believe this is yours,” I said, handing her the card.

“Thank you! During normal times, I’d give you a hug,” she said. We laughed and bumped elbows instead.

I realized being on both the receiving and the giving end of kind gestures felt equally good. I had experienced an interpretation of paying it forward-first with cash, then with credit.

【1】Why did the author go to the post office?

A．To print his story.

B．To mail the form.

C．To fetch his publication.

D．To fax the publishing house.

【2】What happened to the author in the post office?

A．The clerk refused to serve him.

B．His credit card failed to work.

C．He exchanged some cash with a stranger.

D．A man asked no reward for helping the author.

【3】What did the author do after picking up a credit card?

A．He met the owner in a restaurant.

B．He waited for the owner to contact him.

C．He found the owner with careful observation.

D．He searched for the owner anxiously on the sidewalk.

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

A．A small act can change your life.

B．To give or to receive is your choice.

C．Paying it forward will make your day.

D．Genuine help expects nothing in return.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Another term had started and I had to attend the first lecture of the new course. The lecturer told us to make groups of two students for a project. I looked to the right and there was my classmate Jack sitting there. And I decided myself that he would be my group member. On the left side, there was an older woman who was from an open university. We talked about the project and decided to make a group of three. During the break, she told me that, last year, she didn’t manage to pass the course, so she would try again.

Later we got an email from our lecturer saying it was not allowed to make groups of three students. The old lady then tried to find some groups, but failed. I knew she wouldn’t find other groups, so I told her that we could do the project together. I had to say good bye to Jack.

After many meetings, we finished the project. In the last meeting, I told her I had difficulty in finding a summer job. I was living in a small town and there weren’t many jobs available and neither had I any previous experience. She advised me to keep doing it, as one would finally answer someday. She then thanked me for helping her and before leaving she said “see you”.

Two weeks later, I got an email from a company saying they had received my job application and decided to call me for a job interview. I appeared for the interview and answered the questions interviewers raised. In the end, they asked me where I had learned about the open job position. In fact, I had no idea so I told them I didn’t remember well. They called me three days later and told me I could start in May. That would be the first time I would be working as a software engineer and I couldn’t describe what I felt like.
