21、   I want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.

It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.

A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (绣) on the cap were the words: "Iwo Jima Survivor".

As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was stating out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.

I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.

I walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving."

He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, "You're welcome, and thank you, too."

I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.

【1】The place where the author enjoyed lunch was __

A.only open to people of the upper classes

B.once visited by many famous people

C.attractive because of its beautiful surroundings

D.modeled on scenes from American history

【2】What do we learn from the passage?

B.The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.

22、In the struggle to survive the ever hotter deserts of California, there are winners and losers. Among the losers are desert birds, whose populations have fallen under the heat stress of climate change. As it turns out, the winners are small burrowing (挖洞) mammals, including kangaroo rats and white-tailed squirrels, which can hide from the sun underground. Researchers note that the mammal populations form a striking contrast to the extremely bad condition of birds.

The mammal community is relatively stable compared to the bird community. Birds have a higher evaporative (蒸发的) heat loss. Birds are more exposed to the effects of warming, so they have higher energy costs to maintain their body temperature, while mammals are able to reduce their body temperature by using burrows during the day, contributing to the stability of their community.

Temperatures have risen by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit on average across the area studied, but the heat impacts birds and small mammals differently. As part of the study, scientists modeled each species’ body temperature and cooling needs under different desert conditions. To calculate that, they measured the conductivity (传导性) of the animals’ fur or feathers, and used information on their heat reducing behavior, such as evaporative cooling or living underground. The models show that in the fight against climate change, there is not a level playing field for furred and feathered desert dwellers. Cooling costs or the resources needed to maintain stable body temperature are about 3.3 times higher for birds than those for small mammals, the study reports. Rising temperatures resulting from climate change increase cooling costs by 58% for birds; but only 17% for mammals.

Mammals have shown this remarkable stability. It’s really quite interesting that, in the same region, with the same level of climate change, these two very similar species have responded very differently to the changes taking place. Insights into the status of different species can help scientists take steps to protect them, such as increasing fire prevention in high desert areas, managing water use to preserve natural springs, and enhancing water sources in those’ areas. The study also demonstrates that climate change is already reshaping the California deserts.

【1】What is vital to mammals’ survival in the desert?

A．Their less exposure to sunlight.

B．Their underground social life.

C．Their loss of daily activity.

D．Their extreme need of water.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．The concerns about global warming.

B．The ways of reducing body temperatures.

C．The reasons for the community stability.

D．The causes of the varying energy loss.

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Temperature rises affect living things differently.

B．Underground animals have higher cooling costs.

C．Living things react differently to climate change.

D．Climate change is a great threat to animals’ survival.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?

A．To explore some similar cases.

B．To advocate protecting mammals..

C．To warn readers of climate change.

D．To reveal the significance of the study.

24、From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial（长期的）victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed（摇摆）by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.

In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

【1】People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.

A．are ready to change their minds

B．are easily affected by windy weather

C．don't have the power to face their fate

D．can't exercise control over themselves

【2】Losers would think that ______.

A．success is the result of hard work

B．working hard will lead to success

C．their failure is only because of bad luck

D．they don't make efforts to succeed

【3】It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.

A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

B．one’s expectation is the key to future success

C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind

D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action

【4】The last paragraph serves as ______.

A．the proof of the author's points

B．the conclusion of the argument

C．an introduction to another topic

D．a comparison between two views

【5】Which is the best title for the text?
