21、The 2013 Iron—Man Match took place on a cold and windy day in Lake Placid.While my dad had spent months training，nothing could have prepared him for what he met on that day.
My entire family was there；however，I was supporting him from my summer camp，where I tracked him online.By 9：00 a.m.，my eyes were fixed on a dot on a screen that represented my father and his progress.He was making steady progress on the bike trail until all of，a sudden I saw his dot stop moving.I assumed this was a technical fault.After all，Camp Monroe Was not known for its Wi-Fi.Actually a gust of wind had caused a huge tent to blow into him，knocking him to the roadside.
At the hospital，he discovered he had four broken bones.While still recovering from his accident，he was dealt a second blow.He was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer and，although still weak from his injuries，had to suffer from accelerated radiation and surgery.His athletic future was looking more and more bare.
However，as he got better，he started to train again.Soon he was running weekly，bounding out of the house with a look of determination that both impressed and worried us.Much to our surprise，he just kept getting stronger.His desire to return to something he loved was greater than his expectation.Last summer，exactly three years after his accident，my father completed the Iron—Man once again.This time，he dashed across the finish line，his fist punching the air in celebration.
Now，I believe in the power of determination to beat the odds，regardless of the circumstance.Today，because of my dad，I believe in setting my own rules，and not letting others command what I can or cannot do.And I believe that life is just like that little dot；it can be gone in a second，so we must make every moment count.
【1】What prevented Dad from moving on during the match?
A. An accident. B. The flat tire.
C. The technical fault. D. Terrible road conditions.
【2】How did the author feel about Dad’s future match while in hospital?
A. Expected. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Hopeful.
【3】Why did Dad enter the Iron—Man once again?

C. He did what he was fond of. D. He wanted to challenge to his family.
【4】What can be learned from Dad?
A. Let masters decide our lives. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Bad beginning makes a bad ending. D. Remain true to the original dream.
22、The latest beliefs are that the main purposes of sleep are to enable the body to rest, allowing time for repairs to take place and for tissue to be regenerated(再生). Lack of sleep, however, can compromise the immune system, cause depression and promote anxiety.
For many people, lack of sleep is rarely anything of choice. Some have problems getting to sleep, others with staying asleep until the morning. Despite popular belief that sleep is one long event, research shows that, in an average night, there are five stages of sleep. In the first light stage, the heart rate and blood pressure go down and the muscles relax. In the next two stages, sleep gets progressively deeper. In stage four, usually reached after an hour, the slumber is so deep that, if awoken, the sleeper would be confused and disorientated. It is in this state that sleep-walking can occur, lasting no more than 15 minutes. In the fifth stage, the rapid eye movement (REM) stage, the eyes move constantly beneath closed lids as if the sleeper is looking at something. During this stage, the body is almost paralysed(瘫痪的). This REM stage is also the time when we dream.
Sleeping patterns change with age. One theory for the age-related change is that it is due to hormonal changes. The temperature rise occurs at daybreak in the young, but at three or four in the morning in the elderly. Age aside, it is estimated that roughly one in three people suffer some kind of sleep disturbance. Causes can be anything from pregnancy, smoking, and stress to alcohol and heart disease.
Apart from self-help therapy such as regular exercise, there are psychological treatments, including relaxation training and therapy aimed at getting rid of pre-sleep worries and anxieties. Medication is regarded by many as a last option and often takes the form of sleeping pills.
【1】What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Lack of Sleep B. Change of Sleep
C. Patterns of Sleep D. Benefits of Sleep
【2】Which of the following can cause people’s lack of sleep according to this passage?
A. Their burden from illness and drinking.
B. Their incomplete sleep stages.
C. Their body temperature change with age.
D. Their damaged immune system.
【3】Which of the following is true to the passage?
A. Nobody can escape lack of sleep.
B. A sleep-walker usually dreams before the sleepwalking.
C. In the REM stage sleepers can see things around but can’t move the body.
D. Regular exercise can better help improve sleep quality than sleeping pills do.

25、Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all subsidise tuition — in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and ________ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are ________.
Spending on universities is usually ________ by the “graduate premium” — the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes, ________ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage ________ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best ________ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so ________, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants. Non-graduates are thus increasingly ________ decent work.
In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education ________ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and ________ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are ________, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being ________ about the probable value of university.
Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own ________ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their ________. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less ________ degrees. “Micro-credentials” — short, work-focused courses approved by big employers in fast-growing fields, such as IT — show promise.
