22、I watch documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.
New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming(难以应付的)pressures, and it sort of weakens the thinking about character and morality.”
Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”
A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual.
Philosopher Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning(演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.
“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn it into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.
To prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people ________.
A．are controlled by time
B．are eager to achieve
C．are changing their characters
D．are keen on reading books more
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards colleges that existed a century ago?
A．Tolerant.
B．Uncertain.
C．Approving.
D．Curious.
【3】The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A．success comes from devotion to work
B．the focus on human natures counts
C．more work contributes to happiness
D．love is more important than focus
【4】The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．criticize students’ desire for achievements
B．stress the importance of productivity
C．warn about the pressure to seek success
D．bring awareness to character building
23、A new study shows the world’s fastest land animal could be running towards extinction.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL), Panthera, and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) led the study. It estimates that only 7,100 cheetahs（猎豹）remain worldwide, mainly found in Africa. But according to the study, cheetahs have been forced out of 91% of their native range. Cheetahs found in Asia are among the hardest hit. Fewer than 50 are left in a small part of Iran.
Many factors are to blame for the decline in cheetah numbers, including habitat loss and the illegal trade. Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem. Humans cause it by overhunting animals that cheetahs prey on. Cheetahs are carnivores and prey mainly on smaller mammals, for example gazelles.
Because cheetahs usually roam over large areas in search of food, 77% of their habitat remains outside of government-protected areas. This means cheetahs are in constant danger of hunters and traders. In Zimbabwe, Africa, alone, the cheetah population has dropped from 1,200 to only about 170 in 16 years. This decline represents a loss of 85% of the country’s cheetahs.
Dr. Kim Young—Overton, Panthera’s Cheetah Program Director, thinks protected habitats alone are not enough to save cheetahs. Cheetahs in reserves also face dangers such as loss of prey and illegal trade.
Dr. Sarah Durant, the study’s lead author, believes that the information it contains will lead to a better understanding of cheetahs as well as a better approach to helping them survive. Durant says local and national officials must team up in order to save cheetahs. But first, the International Union for Conservation of Nature must classify the animals as endangered. Currently, cheetahs are classified as weak on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. The change would focus more attention on cheetahs and help protect them for extinction. After all, in the fight to save cheetahs, it's a race against time.
【1】What is the present situation of cheetahs according to the study?
A. They are in danger.
B. They live freely worldwide.
C. They are protected well in Africa.
D. They mainly live in their native range.
【2】What does the underlined word “carnivores” refer to?
A. Animals kept at home.
B. Animals living in zoos.
C. Animals feeding on meat.
D. Animals killed in the wild.
【3】What results in the decline of the cheetah population according to the text?
A. The loss of their reserves.
B. Their appearance in unpreserved areas.
C. The decreasing government protection.
D. Their increasing natural enemies.
【4】What does Dr. Sarah Durant think of the study of cheetahs?
A. It shows ways of wildlife protection.
B. It implies people’s role in saving animals.
C. It stresses the importance of cheetahs in our life.
D. It informs people of cheetahs’ existing state.
24、If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be starting a blog devoted to healthy foods, healthy cooking and healthy eating, I would have said she was crazy. Sometimes I skip meals. Sometimes I stop at a drive-through for a burger. Sometimes I open a can for dinner and call it good. I have a weakness for pie and ice cream. Red wine. Dark chocolate. And I’ve never thought of vegetables as my closest friends.
So how do I explain Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli and Once Upon, a Parsnip, picture books that feature vegetables, of all things? I lost my father not so many years ago. Maybe my vegetable books grew out of thinking about him: remembering the hours he spent in his backyard garden, his respect for all growing things, the fresh produce he put on our table. Maybe it was the way he coaxed his children into eating the vegetables he grew: letting us play in the com rows while he gardened, helping him harvest the lettuce and carrots and green beans, watering and weeding our very own pumpkins. Pretending the broccoli on our plate wasn’t a vegetable at all!
Parsnip-Broccoli wasn’t my intention that Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli should encourage picky eaters to give broccoli a go. I didn’t plan for Once Upon a Parsnip to lead kids to give parsnips a chance. But both, I m told, are true. Honestly, Once Upon a Parsnip isn’t even about parsnips 一it’s just plain fun, a rhyming fairytale mash-up (混搭). The truth is, I’d never tried a parsnip myself before I wrote this book. I just liked the word. It’s fun!
And there’s the key: fun.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A．She is used to eating burgers.
B．She has an unbalanced diet.
C．She has no time for cooking.
D．She dislikes pie and ice-cream.
【2】What inspired the author to write vegetable books?
A．The memory of her father.
B．The harvest of vegetables.
C．The beauty of fresh produce.
D．The respect for growing things.
【3】What does the underlined word “coaxed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Pretended to terrify.
B．Managed to reason.
C．Tried to persuade.
D．Failed to force.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing picture books at first?
A．For education.
B．For knowledge.
C．For adventure.
D．For pleasure.

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。
My sister Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else. We begged our parents many times but always got the same answer. One summer night, however, in our yard stood a big black female dog. We couldn’t believe our eyes!
Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. The dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, then a step back. She was so skinny and her coat was full of dirt. When she came closer, I was glad to find no tags around her neck.
Josie brought milk and several eggs for her. But when she finished them, she ran into the bush and disappeared. “Don’t go!” Josie cried, “Come back!” But she was gone. “I think she’ll be back when she gets hungry again,” I said.
The next night, we set the food in the driveway. Soon the dog appeared. We called her Lucky, hugged her gently and showed her the food. She sniffed it, drooling (垂涎) and licking her mouth, but for some reason she wouldn’t eat it.
The next minute Lucky did something unexpected. She grabbed the plate in her mouth and dragged it away. In the following nights it was the same scene. But the strangest thing was that even though Lucky kept taking the food, she didn’t seem to be putting on any weight.
On the fifth night, Lucky didn’t come as usual. We were worried. When we almost gave up, she appeared. She barked at us and ran back and forth. Then she ran towards the bush slowly, still barking. We chased after her. She ran and barked, turning to see if we were following. After about ten minutes, Lucky finally stopped, wagging her tail quietly. She looked at us, barked and disappeared through a dark hole in the wall of leaves and branches. I pointed toward the hole. “No way I’m going in there,” Josie said.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

However, after hesitating for a little while, we finally made a decision.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
