21、   A dance held last Saturday in Central High School's gym raised $2,348 to help rebuild the home of freshman Keisha Kandun and her family.

Admission to “Rock the House” was $10; all money went to the Kandun Family Fund. Volunteers also walked the dance floor with donation boxes to collect more money.

The Kanduns are living with Keisha's grandparents until they can move into their new house. The whole family attended the dance; then they went on stage to thank the crowd. Rebuilding has already begun, and the family hopes to move back in time for the holidays.

“We appreciate the help so much that I cannot even put it into words,” said Mary Kandun, Keisha's mother. “We have always loved the school, but we never expected this kind of generosity. You should all be proud of your school for showing so much heart.”

The Kanduns' four-bedroom home was empty on August 14 when it caught on fire after being struck by lightning. Sadly, the family did not have enough insurance to pay for the cost of rebuilding.

Central High School Student Council organized the event with the help of advisor and English teacher Lois Conrad and Principal David Cordero; The student council also plans to hold a bake sale and a car wash, sponsored by Speedy Clean Inc. to raise more money.

The dance featured the music of the Harlequins. The four members of the band, seniors at Central, donated their time to perform.

“It's cool to be able to play for your fellow classmates,” said Adam Flynn, who plays the guitar for the band. We wanted to help out Keisha and her family, too.

22、   Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they’re big and can’t be missed. Other times they’re so subtle that if we aren’t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we’ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.

On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt’s Mt. Horeb. I’d spent the day at St. Catherine’s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I’d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.

I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.

As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, “Hello,” I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, “Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail.

That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses’s mountain, that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.

I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that’s a miracle.

I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we don’t, that’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!

The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.

23、   The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China's Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to 19 in Kingston, capital of Jamaica.

“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.

Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.

In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.

【1】What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?

A.It originated from fast Kung Fu action. B.It was born around the 1750s in a village.

C.It is related to other cultural fields of China. D.It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.

【2】Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi?

A.They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit.

B.The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.

C.They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people.

D.Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi.

【3】What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To promote contemporary Chinese civilization.

B.To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi.

C.To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters.

D.To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases.

【4】 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCO's List. B.Tai Chi is Competing against Yoga.

C.Tai Chi Has Regained populate Globally. D.Opinions Greatly Differ on Tai Chi and Yoga.

24、   Natural lakes cover about 2.8% of Earth's non-oceanic surface. Despite the small percentage, they are very important to both regional and global ecosystems. However, lakes around the world, such as the Great Lakes in the United States, the Aral Sea and the Dead Sea in Asia and the Lake Chad in Africa, are disappearing and even have disappeared. Identifying the main factors of lakes' decline is of great value for global lake management and lake recovery, especially for the largest freshwater lake in China, Poyang Lake.

Located in eastern China's Jiangxi Province, Poyang Lake has a drainage(灌排) area of 162,225 km2，feeds a population of up to 44 million and annually supplies 17% of the water for the Yangtze River, the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world. It also provides a home for millions of birds during the lake's low water stages in late autumn and winter, including 95% of the world's endangered white cranes. Moreover, the variations in the lake's water output directly affect the environments in the East China Sea.

However, since the beginning of the 21st century, Poyang Lake has experienced continuously extreme low water levels in autumn, which has put the threatened birds at risk of extinction.

Despite several efforts to explore the causes of the Poyang Lake's dryness, to date, there have been no studies that attempt to distinguish and quantify the contribution of each possible factor on the lake's recent low water levels.

Therefore, the objectives of my study are to quantify the contribution of each factor leading to Poyang Lake's dryness. These results are of vital value in characterizing the problems of the Poyang Lake and its related wetlands. They also can be applied to other large lakes in similar situations around the world.

【1】What is the author's main purpose in the first paragraph?

A．To tell the necessity and value of his study.

B．To show the problems of the four largest lakes.

C．To introduce the lakes' coverage of the earth's surface.

D．To prove the lakes' importance to the global ecosystems.

【2】What can be known about Poyang Lake?

A．It is the main water source for the Yangtze River.

B．It is the third biggest freshwater lake in the world.

C．It is home to 95% of the world's endangered animals.

D．It is important to the ecosystem of the East China Sea.

【3】What does the author say about the previous studies?

A．Their theories about the lake are wrong.

B．They should carry out their study in quality.

C．They have not analyzed each factor in quantity.

D．Their studies cannot be applied to the other lakes.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A textbook.

B．A newspaper.

C．A research paper.

D．An advertisement.
