21、   Red Adair became “the man to call” if you wanted a fire in an oil well put out, a task that was extremely dangerous and difficult.

One of Red Adair’s most dangerous jobs was in 1962. He and his men put out a natural gas fire in the Sahara Desert in Algeria. The fire had been burning for six months. The fire was so fierce that American astronaut John Glenn could see it from space as he orbited Earth and the sand around the fire had melted into glass from the extreme heat. This famous fire was called the “Devil’s Cigarette Lighter”.

Adair’s success with the big fire and earlier well fires captured the imagination of the American film industry. In 1968, Hollywood made an action film called “Hellfighters” which was roughly based on events in Red Adair’s life. Adair said one of the best honors in the world was to have John Wayne play him in a movie.

In 1988, Adair troubleshot what was possibly the world’s worst ocean accident at the Piper Alpha oil platform in the North Sea. Not only did Red Adair and his team have to put out the fires but they also had to deal with winds blowing at more than one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour, as well as the sea which was at least twenty meters high.

In March of 1991, Red Adair went to Kuwait to put out about seven hundred Kuwaiti fires following the Persian Gulf War. His efforts saved millions of liters of oil. Some experts say the operation also helped prevent an environmental tragedy.

Red Adair died at 89. Many Americans remember him as a very brave man. He lived his life troubleshooting danger. He was known for risking his own life to save others.

【1】Why was John Glenn mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A.To explain how the sand melted.

22、Peruvian novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa, who received Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010, is one of the central writers in Latin America, but he began his literary career in Europe.

Mario Vargas Llosa was born in Arequipa, but from age one he lived in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where he was brought up by his mother and grandparents after his parents separated. However, Vargas Llosa once said that “I feel very much an Arequipan”．He also spent some time in Piura, northern Peru (1945～1946)．

Vargas Llosa attended Leoncio Prado Military Academy (1950～1952), and Colegio Nacional San Miguel de Piura (1952), Peru．In 1955 he married Julia Urquidi; they divorced in 1964.From 1955 to 1957 Vargas Llosa studied literature and law at the University of San Marcos, Peru. He then attended post-graduate school at the University of Madrid, Spain, where he received his Ph.D.in 1959.

In the 1950s, while still a student, Vargas Llosa worked as a journalist for La Industria. His first collection of short stories, LOS JEFES, appeared in 1959.“I liked Faulkner but I imitated Hemingway, ”he said later. Vargas Llosa moved to Paris because he felt that in Peru he could not earn his living as a serious writer. Although the boom of Latin American fiction in the 1960s opened doors to some authors for commercial success, the great majority of Peruvian writers suffered from the problems of the country's publishing industry. In France Vargas Llosa worked as Spanish teacher, journalist and broadcaster. From the late 1960s Vargas Llosa worked as a visiting professor at many American and European universities. In 1970 Vargas Llosa moved to Barcelona and five years later he settled back in Peru. Most of his novels are set in Peru.

In addition to the Nobel Prize, Vargas Llosa has received many other honors. Among the most notable are Leopoldo Alas Prize (1959), Peruvian National Prize (1967) and Miguel de Cervantes Prize (1994)．

23、China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.

Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.

Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.

The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.

The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.

【1】The author writes this passage mainly to________.

A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car

B. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car

C. introduce a new kind of "green" car

D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China

【2】The first sentence probably refers to ________.

A. there will be more and more green land in China

B. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars

C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models

D. China is still young and lacking experience

【3】What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?

A. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.

B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.

C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.

D. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.

24、While working with troubled teens，I used to have them do the Ten Years in the Future exercise. I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future. Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week，much less ten years to come. Like the Cheshire Cat says in Alice in Wonderland, “If you don’t know where you want to go，then it doesn’t really matter what road you take!” We had some great conversations as they really thought about what they wanted. For most of them, this was the first time they had ever thought this way!

But the real story is what happened to me. I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams and visions in detail. In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home，authored a book，and started my own business. Over the next ten years, something magic happened．All my dreams and visions became a reality, almost as if arranged by an unseen hand. I did write books and start my business. We did move to the country and I did build my own home．

This letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life. Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals，and your daily activities. For example: “Leslie，I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life. I started my own gardening business in 2020 and it’s really taken off. ”

Remember to describe all the details as if they have already happened. Write to a real person who you think may still know in ten years. This will help make it more real for you．

Sit down and write your Ten Years in the Future letter today．

【1】What can we learn from what the Cheshire Cat says?

A. You should have a goal.

B. You had better not copy others.

C. You may do what you want to do.

【3】According to the writer,“Leslie” in your letter should be the person that_______.

A. does the same exercise as you

B. will become your friend in ten years

C. you know now and may still know in the future

f. How to improve your letter writing skill．

A. a，d，f   B. a，c，d   C. b，c，d   D. a，c，e

25、Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others ______ in a wild anger. Both habits have bad effects on our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.

Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to ______ their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be ______.” When we take notice of that signal and actually ______ the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it. ______, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have ______ effects on our health. Investigators noticed that people who make greater efforts to ______ their emotions tend to have shorter life spans. They’re more likely to die earlier from cancer, ______. When we’re angry, stress hormones (激素) are released, which can ______ a wide range of diseases, including diabetes and depression, and abnormal immune conditions.

Is it better, then, to scream and cry whenever something makes you ______? That’s the fundamental behind the “rage rooms” that have appeared in many American cities, where folks are ______ to let off their anger by violently smashing stuff in a safe environment. “The ______ is that you get the anger out of your system through ______ actions,” says Keelan. “But the research indicates that when we display our anger sharply, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger and increase the ______ of aggressive actions in the future.” It doesn’t take much imagination to predict how they can ______ your relationships with your family members, or your coworkers.
