21、 One peaceful afternoon, I open a photo album. I turn to a photo of a nice old man I had the honor to meet once. The memories rush back. That old man was not only kind, but also a legend. He was once one of the glorious “Flying Tigers”.
The “Flying Tigers” were also known as the American Volunteer Group. They served in China before the United States officially got involved in World War Ⅱ. They fought bravely for us against the Japanese. Only a few of them are still alive.
Louis T. Sneddon was a tail gunner and assistant engineer with the 14th Air Force near Kunming.
I expected to meet a serious man, but in fact Louis was kind and always smiled at me.
“I’m happy to be back in your home after 60 years. China has been in my heart although far away,” he said to me.
I was astonished when he told me his story. He finished 30 to 40 flying tasks, with over 900 hours of flight time. The main task was to patrol (巡逻) and attack ships moving between Japan, China and the Pacific islands. Bomb runs would fly low under the radar, drop their bombs and fly over the ships. These were considered to be the most dangerous missions of the war.
“Were you ever afraid?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Well, I didn’t think much about it. I just… did it,” he said, with a smile on his face. “But I was fortunate. The 10-member crew of my plane all returned alive.”
He was badly wounded, but he did not report his wounds and kept flying. His bravery and spirit deeply moved me, while his personality taught me a life-lesson.
“Make every day count.” His words ring in my mind. But the important thing I learnt from him was that we need to overcome our fear. Sometimes we think too much about the consequences, when we should really breathe deeply and take the brave, necessary step.
【1】When did the “Flying Tigers” serve in China?
A.When World War II broke out.
B.Before the US was formally drawn into World War Ⅱ.
C.When America got the final victory in World War Ⅱ.
D.After China declared war against Japan.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Louis T. Sneddon’s main task?
A.It was extremely difficult and dangerous.
B.Louis T. Sneddon had to fly for 900 hours in this task.
C.No one but Louis T. Sneddon survived in this task.
D.Louis T. Sneddon was slightly wounded in this task.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Tiger of a Man B.A Photo Album
C.Flying Tasks D.The American Volunteer Group
【4】What was the intention of the author to write this passage?
A.To memorize a brave soldier.
B.To tell us a lesson of being optimistic.
C.To share his experience with us.

23、Videos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China, particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. WeChat’s 1.08 billion monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7 times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data.
Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest where-abouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying 4.8 times in the past 4 years.

As of September 2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. WeChat Wallet has also registered exponential (指数式的) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately.

24、Images of polar bears struggling to stay on rafts of ice are often used by groups that want to promote conservation and stop the deterioration of natural habitats. However, part of the solution lies with the polar bears themselves.
Polar bears are highly specialized. This means they have adapted to survive in a specific region and eat specific food. Polar bears live above the Arctic Circle and eat fish. Their bodies are different from those of other types of bears. Polar bears feature webbed feet for swimming, thicker fur and more body fat for living and swimming in icy conditions, and light-colored fur to help them blend into their environment. As a result, polar bears do not do well when they are in a non-arctic region. They cannot run as well as other bears, they can become too hot and tired easily, and they have a hard time hunting animals that are not in the snow or ice.
Unfortunately for polar bears, climate change is reducing the size of the areas where they can live. This means the bears will eventually have to leave the arctic regions and travel farther south. However, because they are so specialized, it is unlikely that polar bears will be as strong as they once were.
Other creatures, such as crocodiles, are not nearly as specialized. They live on almost every continent and in a wide variety of climates. In fact, crocodiles are one of the most adaptable animals on the planet and have survived for millions of years. When animals specialize, they often do better than less-specialized species in the same place, but if the climate or other conditions change, the specialized animals are usually the first to die off.
If polar bears are going to survive the next 100 years, they will have to adapt. Many scientists believe that polar bears may eventually cross paths with brown bears and black bears. Whether these animals fight it out or fall in love to create new generations of bears remains to be seen. No matter how it happens, many hope the polar bears will live far into the future-in many different places.
【1】Which of the following is an effect of polar bear specialization?
A.Polar bears are not in danger of dying off.
B.Polar bears fight other bears for food.

【3】Which detail about polar bears best explains why they are comfortable in icy water?

D.Their ability to travel on ice rafts.
【4】If they cannot adapt to climate change in the Arctic, polar bears will________.
A.no longer exist
B.find a colder place to live in
C.live in the south of the Arctic Circle
