21、The teacherwho did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt.She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill. She taught me in second gradeat all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouragedme to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what wasconsidered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing; shelistened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance; she taught me thebasic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre butadult comedies and dramas-and her faiththat I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensivelibrary and shared them with me.I had books at home, but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strongliking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel throughher.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided myfirst opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to theeditor as a "youth columnist". My column, begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave methe freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gatheringmaterial, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation fromcollege six years later, a solid collection of published material that carriedmy name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favouriteniece". Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupilwho has crossed her path.
【1】Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhoodand youth?

D. She introduced her to adult plays.

22、In my early 20s, my left arm became completely paralyzed in a traffic accident. Going from two fully functional arms to one meant I had to relearn everything I used to do with two hands. And as a person who’d sooner get lost than ask for directions, asking for help was difficult for me. I just wanted to swim; in the water I felt powerful because it removed gravity’s limitation. It was the only place I couldn’t feel the weight of my arm.
After college, I met Coach Alan through the Challenged Athletes Foundation. He was the reason why I started to train for the Tokyo Paralympics. I took part in my first Paralympics just two months after we met.
In swimming, a racing suit is called a tech suit, or a second skin. For tech suits, I aimed to go two or three sizes smaller than my usual size. It took me 15 minutes to put a tech suit on that day, but after the swimming event, with only one hand, I couldn’t take it off. I was stuck. I was prepared to reach for the knife in my bag and cut my way out of this expensive new suit.
A girl sitting on the bench near me, with her prosthetic legs beside her as she changed, saw me struggling. “Come here!” said, grabbing me with her knees to pull me closer. We both pulled the hopeless suit for a while. Then she called for help. A visually-impaired swimmer rushed over and managed to free me in less than a minute.
That locker room incident became the new normal for me. And finally, I got to be on the helping end as well. Asking for help is quite normal for anyone who lives with a disability. “Can you pass me my leg?” “Could you tie my shoes?” Helping others and accepting help is a way of life in the Paralympics.
Learning to ask for what I needed was the adaptation that proved to be even more difficult than managing a one-handed ponytail. And learning to do so was the win I hadn’t previously set my sights on, but ended up wanting the most.
【1】Why did the author like swimming after the accident?
A.She met a great swim coach who could help her out.
B.She didn’t need to ask for directions when she was swimming.
C.She wanted to be the champion in the next Paralympic Games.
D.She could forget her disability and become powerful in the water.
【2】What happened in the locker room?
A.The author was helped by other athletes.
B.The author helped a a girl with prosthetic legs.
C.The author couldn’t find a suitable racing suit.
D.The author took off her racing suit using a knife.
【3】What did the author learn in the Paralympics?
A.Skiing for directions is better than getting lost.
B.Offering and accepting help is normal and essential.
C.Doing sports helps disabled people regain confidence.
D.Disabled athletes have to overcome lots of difficulties to succeed.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Swimming cured my pain
B.An adventure in the Paralympics
C.My best lesson in the locker room
D.Helping others means helping yourself
23、The traffic in Lagos, Nigeria’s capital, is enough to make the most patient travelers mad. A rush-hour commuter(通勤者)can take three hours to go 15 km. Office workers try, often in vain, not to fall asleep at their desks after hard and sweaty journeys. Globe-travelling managers are never sure whether they will catch their flights.
A person who benefits has been the okada rider. On his cheap motorbike taxi, he often carries an entire family or a week’s groceries, ducking through the traffic. His wildly time-saving ways include riding on the wrong side of the road and ignoring red lights.
But Babatunde Fashola, Lagos’s popular governor; is banning okadas as part of his push to put the city in order. On September 1, Mr. Fashola banned okadas from many of the coastal city’s main roads and bridges.Many Lagosians say that, though he has actually banned okadas, the governor has failed to provide alternatives.
Many poorer Lagosians, facing long journeys from the countryside, must now use far slower taxis or unlicensed minibuses. Richer people who have always used their own cars are also complaining(抱怨)as the jams become even worse.
Mr Fashola notes that the untrained riders cause many accidents. Of the dozen, five admit to having had serious crashes. One has an open wound on his leg. Another lifts his T-shirt to show a scar on his chest. Mr. Fashola, who took office in 2007, has been trying to set up a proper public transport system. A bus system with its own lanes started running in 2008. Two railway lines are promised, though it is unclear when they will be laid.
But many think the campaign against okadas is not mature. Whether Mn Fashola can successfully carry out his measures is another matten After he previously ordered okada riders to buy helmets, many wore old paint cans and melon rinds(瓜皮).
【1】What in particular annoys Lagosian commuters?
A.Not having fixed taxi fares.
B.Wasting time in traffic jams.
C.Not having punctual flights.
D.Missing scheduled appointments.
【2】Why did Mr. Fashola ban okadas?
A.To promote the use of taxis.
B.To introduce new alternatives.
C.To make himself a more popular governor
D.To create a city with a good transport system
【3】What docs the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?
A.The green concept is most welcome in Nigeria.
B.Lagosians are creative and full of imagination.
C.Lagosians didn’t fully support Mr. Fashola’s measures.
D.The campaign against okadas didn’t catch public attention.
24、 We all know a picky eater (挑食者) or two, or maybe you're the picky eater, avoiding food adventures at all costs, because you're convinced you'll hate whatever new and bad-looking food is put on your plate. But why is it that some people are picky eaters while others are willing to try pretty much anything that can be eaten?
There's no single explanation for the picky eating habit. Picky eaters are typically unwilling to try new foods, which can be the result of your DNA and the way you are treated and educated when you are young. Marcia Pelchat, Ph.D., a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia who specializes in food preferences in humans, tells China Daily, “A group in Finland looked at what we call food neophobia, which literally means 'fear of the new', and they found that there is some genetic basis for this.”
“Also, if you have parents who don't really like to try anything new, you will also be exposed to fewer new foods,” Pelchat says. The opposite is also true: Those who try new foods and have positive experiences are then more likely to try unfamiliar foods in the future.
People who are less adventurous may be more hesitant to try new foods. Trying anything new, food included, requires you to step outside of your comfort zone. If you're not very adventurous, you may have a tough time with this. People who seek new adventures or thrills might be more likely to experiment with food. “There is a thrill-seeking personality trait,” Pelchat says. “It's been shown, especially with spicy food, that there is some connection between trying new foods and thrill seeking,” she explains.
Most adult picky eaters start as child picky eaters. “It's normal for children to go through a picky stage when they're toddlers, maybe two or three years old, and that makes sense evolutionarily,” Pelchat says. But as we get older, if we continue to avoid new foods, pickiness can persist.
【1】What do we know about people with food neophobia?
A.They eat only a few kinds of food.
B.They avoid new or unfamiliar foods.
C.They are addicted to some kind of food.
D.They have preference for vegetable food.
【2】What does Pelchat mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?
A.Food neophobia can be influenced by surroundings.
B.Those who try new foods have a positive life attitude.
C.Parents should set a good example for their children.
D.Food neophobia is linked to poorer dietary quality.
【3】What would be a picky eater like?
A.Less optimistic.
B.Less creative.
C.Less independent.
D.Less adventurous.
【4】Which of the following shows the best structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A.
B.
C.
D.

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。
I never knew how important life was until I almost lost my little brother. It all started when my brother got sick. I was nine, and he was just nine months. At that time, he kept touching his ear. The first doctor my mother took him to told her that it was an ear disease.
After a week, he was still touching his ear continually. My mother took him to a different doctor. The doctor ran blood tests on him and thought he should be in the hospital as soon as possible. At first, the doctors did not know what was wrong with him. A couple of days later, they found out he had a type of bone marrow (骨髓) cancer.
The doctors tried one round of treatment. It helped, but my brother lost his hair. Then he needed a bone marrow transplant (移植). They needed to find a bone marrow donor (捐赠者), so the doctors tested my family first.
I was so afraid to get a shot. My sisters and I were all crying. We got it over with quickly, and it did not hurt as much as I thought it would. A couple of weeks later, we found out that one of my sisters and I were both matches. My parents had to choose which one of us should be the donor. After thinking about it for a long time, they made their decision one Sunday.
That day, after having our lunch, my parents put me on the sofa. With tears filling their eyes, they told me that they wanted me to be the bone marrow donor because I was older. They asked me whether I’d like to be the donor. Hearing it, I was excited and nervous.
