22、British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.

Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.

Bunyan’s style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.

Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).

The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.

“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.

【1】According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.

A. his father was making and mending pots and kettles

B. Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundings

C. the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest ways

D. Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls

【2】What are the main characteristics of Bunyan’s works?

② The stories are carefully and vividly described.

③ The plots are romantic and twisting.

④ The works are easy to understand.

A. ①②③   B. ②③④   C. ①③④     D. ①②④

【3】John Bunyan wrote the book The Pilgrim’s Progress in order to ______.

A. advise people to obey religious principles for salvation

B. tell people that life is a simple and familiar journey

C. add spiritual significance to the commonplace details

D. to combine the strange things with the familiar things

【4】What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?

A. Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.

B. Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.

C. People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvation.

D. People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.

23、I started the latest round of the NutriFit programme weeks ago. We take about 45 minutes to go through participants’ health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to customize the programme to meet each individual’s needs.

I was shocked by one thing. When it comes to weight-loss goals, I usually ask, When was the last time you were happy with your body? The reply usually relates to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college—the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, “Of course, I wasn’t happy with it then, but I’d be happy with it now!”

It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don’t really like the body shape, there will likely be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don’t mean to upset anyone from improving their health right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.

That’s why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic. Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy and clarity, better immunity, well-balanced hormones... the list goes on. Yes, we get great body part results, but you are about so much more than what your body looks like.

In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it becomes a mentally healthier process. If you’re going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy—a lifestyle that you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to rather than you have to, life gets 1,000 percent easier.

【1】What did the author do to customize the programme for individuals?

A．Analyze and adjust participants’ dietary structure.

B．Examine participants’ physical health condition.

C．Make clear of people’s health history and plans

D．Introduce the programme in detail.

【2】What made the author shocked?

A．People’s discontent with their previous life.

B．People’s optimism about their current body.

C．People’s satisfaction with their former body.

D．Peoples ambitious goals of losing weight.

【3】What does NutriFit pay attention to now?

A．People’s image.

B．People’s health

C．People’s weight

D．People’s appearance

【4】What should a successful nutrition programme focus on in the author’s view?

A．A healthy lifestyle.

B．A sound exercise plan

C．Enough nutritious food

D．Weight loss.

24、Around the world, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are enlisting (入伍) to fight the new coronavirus. Where there is a need, these courageous individuals are stepping up to the plate and offering their expertise even though they have been retired.

In fact, on a single day in March, hundreds of retired doctors and nurses joined New York City’s Medical Reserve Corps, a program of the City’s Department of Health, after the city’s Mayor (市长) Bill De Blasio asked for help. According to ABC News, at least 82, 000 people have thus enlisted in New York State’s medical reserve force, bringing together a wide range of health care workers to fight COVID-19.

“Whatever it is that they need. I’m willing to do,” said Jerry Kops, a retired New York nurse and musician in the world-famous Blue Man Group, whose tour got cancelled due to the outbreak. She explained, “I knew that all of my old co-workers were on the front line, so I felt I should sign up too.”

Jane Bedell, a retired primary care doctor from the Bronx, also signed up after De Blasio’s request for help. Although she celebrated retirement a little over a month ago, she felt it was her duty and privilege to get involved. “I’ve always wanted to make sure that I’m part of the solution and not part of the problem.” She told the New York Times.

Chuck Wright, a physician refused to let anything stop him from volunteering. After he retired a year and a half ago, he immediately started volunteering with medical organizations, and was among the responders who took care of California’s firefighters during the 2019 wildfires. He’s been deployed (调遣) twice to assist COVID-19 efforts, and was in charge of turning a Holiday Inn into a medical center.

But New York is not alone, other states, such as California, Massachusetts, Washington, and New Jersey have also put out similar calls for help.

【1】What did Bill De Blasio request people to do?

A．Donate money for the New York City.

B．Offer some support to Blue Man Group.

C．Replace the City’s Department of Health.

D．Join New York’s medical reserve force.

【2】Why did Jerry Kops decide to be a volunteer?

A．She performed much better on the front line.

B．She was motivated by her former colleagues.

C．She wanted to make her music group famous.

D．She found it a way to celebrate her retirement.

【3】Who volunteered on a regular basis?

A．Bill De Blasio.

B．Jerry Kops.

C．Chuck Wright.

D．Jane Bedell.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Retired Doctors and Nurses Enlist to Fight COVID-19

B．Medical Professionals Are Willing to Be Volunteers
