21、A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.
As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.
It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(链球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).
Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸张的语句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.
Police took the man into custody(监护). He will appear in court on Monday morning.
Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.
Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”
【1】How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?
A. Two B. Four C. Seven D. Eleven
【2】What is the text mainly about?
A. Usain Bolt along with seven other competitors
B. A female Dutch judoka sitting behind the starting area.
C. The lane belonging to Yohan Blake before 100 final.
D. A beer bottle thrown at Usain Bolt before 100 final.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the athletes for the 100-meter final?
A. Critical B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving D. Positive
22、 Be black or white, the exact color of a person’s skin is determined by a combination of his parentage and random chance and it affects how every single person treats you. You can’t take your skin off, even if you’re terrified or ashamed to wear it, even if you’re sick and tired of wearing it.
Freddie Gray, who was arrested in 2016 for possessing a legal knife and died in police custody (拘留), was born Black. TamirRice, who barely lived more than one being Black, was shot at the age of 12 for playing with a toy gun in 2014. Breonna Taylor, who was shot and killed in March when two plainclothes police officers entered her apartment unannounced, didn’t choose to be Black. But the police officers who shot her chose their careers. They chose to shoot her, too. Police across America also chose to shoot 336 other unarmed Black people from 2013-2019.
Each of these victims did not possess a weapon at the time of their murder, and in all but few of the cases they lost their lives because someone “thought” they were reaching for a gun that turned out to be a wallet, cell phone or nothing at all. This is absolutely unacceptable. We’re not saying they shouldn’t have been captured with all necessary force and imprisoned accordingly. A criminal is a criminal and should be handled as such. But even a criminal, as long as he lives in this great country, is an American worthy of justified handling and a fair trial.
Black people don’t get to sign up for lives of discrimination and terror. They often found themselves moving through wave upon wave of white faces that usually mirrored the same emotions—shock, disbelief and anger. It is the fear of black skin that plays a part in each of these murders. African Americans can no longer tolerate the unjustified killings of their loved ones. As a country, it’s time to start effective dialogues to end this pitiless trend. It has to be a long struggle and pain before Black people overcome prejudice to win the chance of being understood by white ones.
【1】What is the author’s purpose of mentioning the murders in Paragraph 2?
A.To provide examples of unjustified killings of black people.
B.To give an explanation why police officers choose to shoot black people.
C.To offer a description of police officers’ hatred towards black people.
D.To make an analysis of how hard lives black people were living.
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards the killings mentioned in the text?
A.Forgiving. B.Cautious.
C.Disapproving. D.Indifferent.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.The process of overcoming prejudice towards the black is on its way.
B.Black people are ashamed to wear their skin color which leads to injustice.
C.Black people will turn to violence to stop the unjustified killings among them.
D.The police should have chosen a proper way to treat black “criminals”.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Sufferings of whites.
B.Blacks’ calling for justice.
C.Policemen’s fair trial.
D.Fight for mutual trust.
23、A 60-year-old homeless woman named Smokie has been sleeping outside in the dirt a few doors down from a man named Elvis Summers.
Most mornings, she stops by Elvis’s Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclable materials for her. Through these conversations, they struck up a friendship.
One morning, Elvis saw a news article about man in Oakland who has been making tiny houses out of deserted materials. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the wood and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter it took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign. “Home Sweet Home”.
“I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,” Elvis told Good News Network. “The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they support it—as long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours.”
He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials, including two locks on the front door and strong wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500.
“I’ve met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis said in an email, “Since I built Smokie’s , I’ve had several people asking me to make them a tiny home and it’s turned into much more than just the one house I wanted to build.”
Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM clothes, he has decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more shelters. He plants to get lighter and cheaper materials—without sacrificing the strength of the house—for the next round. Rick Sassen, a branch manager, kindly donated the roof shingles and cedar supporting Smokie’s house, final items Elvis couldn’t afford on his own. Sassen has promised to work out a deal on future building materials for the same cause.
【1】What is the meaning of the underlined words “struck up” in paragraph 2?
A. Kept on. B. Established.
C. Gave out. D. Accomplished.
【2】Where did Elvis’s inspiration to build a tiny house come from?
A. A news report. B. A science book.
C. A fiction story. D. An advertisement.
【3】What is the main feature of the tiny house?
A. It is air-conditioned. B. It is very light.
C. It can move around. D. It has no roof.
【4】What can be inferred about Elvis from the last paragraph?
A. He will get help from poor people.
B. He earns his living by building houses.
C. He plans to build stronger houses.
D. He will help more homeless people.
24、“I feel lonely and hopeless, ” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What’s wrong with me?”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character-even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular-experience loneliness at least sometimes. It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we’ve all heard “No man is an island.” That’s true. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection, many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures.
Be willing to take the initiative (主动). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don’t wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don’t let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You’ll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance. Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don’t ask “Do you have a dog?” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets. ” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.
【1】Why does the author begin the text with Lisa’s worry?
A.To set a sad tone.
B.To share Lisa’s pain.
C.To teach readers a lesson.
D.To introduce the topic.
【2】What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage?
A.Putting ourselves in danger.
B.Being treated in a rude way.
C.Being refused by others.
D.Losing interest in communicating.
【3】What can we know from Paragraph 5?
A.Popular people are often easy-going.
B.Just waiting for chances will help you make friends.
C.Shy people are hard to talk to.
D.A suitable way is important in making friends.
【4】Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions?
A.It is considered unfriendly.
B.It isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
C.It will leave a bad first impression.
D.It shows the poor quality of the speaker.
25、I Still Look for Patches
Aren’t we lucky, when we had a childhood friend willing to be our everlasting, faithful companion(同伴)?I can still remember the day I met my special _________ .
One spring evening, my mother and I patiently waited for my father to come home. His_________ in the doorway made no clear impression on my mind. Suddenly, I heard a_________ “Yip”. “Did I hear something? Daddy, please tell me. What was that?”
