21、 In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies the tiny island nation of Tuvalu，the fourth smallest country in the world. This group of four islands and five atolls (islands made from coral) is famous for its sandy beaches and turquoise (蓝绿色的) waters and has long been a popular tourist destination for nearby New Zealanders. However, the nation of Tuvalu is at risk of soon no longer existing; not because of war or political change, but because it will be covered by the rising ocean.
Tuvalu is experiencing the harmful effects of global warming. As global temperatures rise, so does the ocean temperature. Due to the scientific law of “thermal expansion,” when water heats it get bigger. 【1】 Most experts claim that the effects of climate change will make Tuvalu uninhabitable within the next 50 years. Problems are already emerging. As sea levels rise, ocean water containing high levels of salt is travelling further and further inland destroying the little amount of soil Tuvaluans have to grow crops.
Even before Tuvaluans began to suffer from the effects of climate change, lift on Tuvalu was tough. 【2】 Most of the land on an atoll is rock-hard arid any soil that exists on it is usually thin and poor for growing crops. The nation has always had to import food apart from fish.
More serious than Tuvalu’s lack of home-grown food has been its lack of drinking water.【3】 Therefore, Tuvaluans depend almost entirely on rainwater for their water needs. Unfortunately, due to a geographical phenomenon known as La Nina, Tuvalu often suffers from long periods of drought. In autumn 2010, after seven months of no rain, the Prime Minister had to declare a state of emergency riot only because of a lack of drinking water, but also because the water left was polluted with cholera (霍乱) 【4】
Tuvalu’s problems have led some of its 11, 000 inhabitants to consider migrating to Australia or New Zealand.【5】 They know they’ll have to someday, but for as long as possible, they want to remain and make the world aware of what is happening to their homeland due to chimate change.
A. It was a desperate situation and, but for emergency shipments from New Zealand and Australia, many Tuvaluans would have died.
B.This is largely due to the geological makeup of atolls.
C. Unlike normal islands, atolls have no rivers or streams, which means that most of Tuvalu has no groundwater to use for drinking.
D. Tuvalu’s representatives demanded that nations should take a more responsible rote in reducing gas emissions.
E. Therefore, sea levels are rising and for low-lying Tuvalu, this spells disaster.
F. However, they ate not willing to abandon the land of their forefathers so easily.
G.And as a member of the United Nations, they are doing just that.
22、“No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I ain’t never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.”
I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced.
For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation (修缮) team. It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering.
But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything.
“Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly.
Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.”
The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said.
I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her.
…
Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle.
At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful.
I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle: She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count.
【1】Mama Lil refused to sign the permission form mainly because ______.
A．she had become stubborn in her old age
B．she wouldn’t allow Bebe to have a summer job
C．she thought the bridge project was too dangerous
D．she didn’t support Bebe’s desire to be an engineer
【2】What can we learn from the story?
A．Bebe lost her parents in the bridge project.
B．Bebe liked to draw the bridge on winter mornings.
C．Bebe and Mama Lil often got into arguments with each other.
D．Bebe called her grandma Mama Lil because she was her mom’s mother.
【3】By mentioning the name “Brooklyn Belle”，the author intends to help readers ______.
A．recall the history of the bridge
B．appreciate the bridge’s beauty
C．ignore the damage to the bridge
D．imagine the bridge’s future look
【4】Which of the following could be the theme of this story?
A．Dreams know no color or gender.
B．Elders always make the best decisions.
C．Conflict usually resolves itself in the end.
D．Pride wins out but makes things more difficult.
23、 Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another Jamaican teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly-Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her times were not exactly impressive, but even so, he sensed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training sessions. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic trails in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint (短跑).
“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Berlin, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73 — the fourth fastest ever.
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout(循环) of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.
It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.
But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.
As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.

24、The Ryman Prize is an international award aimed at encouraging the best and brightest thinkers in the world to focus on ways to improve the health of older people.
The world’s ageing population means that in some parts of the globe—including much of the Western world—the population aged 75＋ is expected to almost triple(增至三倍)in the next 30 years. Older people face not only the severe threat of COVID-19, but also the burden of chronic diseases including Alzheimers and diabetes. At the same time the health of older people is one of the most underfunded and poorly resourced areas of research.
We’re offering a $250,000 annual prize for the world’s best discovery, development, advance or achievement that enhances quality of life for older people.
The Ryman Prize is awarded each year by the Prime Minister of New Zealand. It was first awarded in 2015 to Gabi Holows, co-founder of the Hollows Foundation, for her tireless work to restore sight for millions of older people in the developing world.
Since then world-leading researchers Professor Henry Brodaty, Professor Peter St George-Hyslop,Professor Takanori Shibata,Dr MichaelFehlings and Professor Mia Kivipelto have all won the prize for their outstanding work.
In 2021 Professor Kenneth Rock wood,a Canadian geriatrician, academic and anti-ageism campaigner whose research into frailty(虚弱)has had a huge impact, was awarded the prize by Jacinda Ardern,Prime Minister of New Zealand.
If you have a great idea or have achieved something remarkable, we would love to hear from you. Entries for the 2022 Ryman Prize will close at 5pm on Friday,Dec.30,2022(New Zealand time). Go to rymanprize.com for more information.
