21、Once upon a time there was a good, cheerful wizard(男巫)who loved to use his magic to make everyone happy.He was also quite an unusual wizard because he was allergic (过敏) to many different foods.He had to be very careful with what he put in his mouth.He was always being invited to parties, and he would always gladly accept, because he always had new tricks and games to try out.
In the beginning, everyone was considerate about his allergies, and they took special care to prepare food that he would be able to eat safely.But as time went on, people were tired of having to prepare special foods for him.Sometimes they didn't even bother to tell him what was in the food, and, more than once, he ended up with a black tongue and a red face.
The wizard was angry.He waved his wand (摩杖) and cast a spell(咒语) that gave everyone a special allergy.Some became allergic to birds, others to fruit or meat...And so, each person had to take special care from then on.Whenever people met up to eat or have a party, they ended up having to go to the doctor.
Gradually, people began making an effort to learn what each other's allergies were.Now they would prepare everything carefully, so that they could have a good time together without getting sick.In less than a year, life in town returned to normal，filled with parties and celebrations.Even better, the wizard now could stay and enjoy the whole party.
Some time later, without anyone knowing, the wizard waved his wand again and undid the spell.The people had learned well how to be considerate towards others, and how they could enjoy each other's company even better just by making a little effort to adapt(适应)to each and every person.
【1】The wizard got sick because________.

22、 Shane Gero, a scientist at Aarhus University in Denmark, spent 6 years studying sperm whales (抹香鲸), which communicate through very loud clicks. He found that sperm whales in the Caribbean Sea had different clicks from those in the Pacific Ocean. He even “translated” the clicks from a group of Caribbean sperm whales, believing them to say, “I’m from the Caribbean, are you?”, reported National Geographic. As well as being used for communication, the clicks also allow whales to develop a relationship with one another, according to Gero.
Apart from sperm whales, other animals like wolves and apes also have different regional accents. Researchers analyzed the howls of different species of wolves. They found that red wolves, Arctic wolves and other wolves have howls that vary in pitch (音调). In other words, they have their own dialects.
According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their accents naturally. For example, macaques (猕猴) start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some macaques in a new environment where their playmates all spoke a different dialect. But the macaques still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no influence on their communication, according to the Washington Post.
“In most species, communication appears to have a genetic basis,” Kelley explained in the Washington Post. “However, among a small number of species, animals can learn from others and develop their own accents.”
Fruit flies are a good example. According to Science Daily, they send messages through their wing movements. Scientists found that fruit flies can only communicate efficiently with others of the same species. However, they can learn new dialects by spending time around other species.
“A proper accent is vital to mating and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of survival,” Kelley told the Washington Post. A species can’t risk changing their own dialect and learning a new one.
【1】What does the author want to show by talking about the sperm whales at the beginning?
A.Animals have different dialects.
B.Sperm whales live in different oceans.
C.Animals can speak different local languages.
D.Whales communicate through clicking noises.
【2】Why do researchers believe that wolves have their own dialects?
A.Wolves are wild animals using language.
B.Wolves live in different areas of the world.
C.There are different kinds of wolves in the world.
D.Wolves of different kinds howl at different pitches.
【3】According to Kelley, what can dialects help animals to do?
A.Have a better chance of survival.
B.Fight with other species for food.
C.Communicate with other species better.
D.Pass on information to the next generation.
【4】What might be the best title for this passage?
A.Dialects Matter to Animals
B.Wild Animals Have Own Dialects
C.Animals Develop Accents to Survive
D.Animal Accents Vary with Environment
23、I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all.

24、Sports like figure skating, ice hockey, speed skating, and ski jumping have been part of Olympic history since the first Winter Olympics were hosted in France, in 1924. But the origins of many Olympic sports stretch back even further.
The ancient origins of skiing
Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving showing men on skis in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Russia. Modern skiing can be traced back to the Scandinavians, who primarily used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879.
The British are the ones who transformed skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. Alpine skiing or downhill skiing is the most popular form of skiing, and it first appeared in the Winter Olympics in 1936.
The development of snowboarding
Snowboarding originated as a backyard activity known as snurfing—invented by a father to entertain children.
In 1965, Sherman Poppen of Muskegon, Michigan, was looking for something his children could use as a sled. He tied together two skis—creating a toy he named “Snurfer”. Less than a year, the toy exploded into a national craze.
Although an annual championship in Muskegon was sponsored by the makers of the Snurfer, competitors began to create their own boards. Because Poppen had trademarked the term Snurfer, they began to call the sport snowboarding instead. By 1985, snurfing fell out of fashion, but snowboarding had caught on worldwide. It finally became an official Olympic sport for the 1998 Games.
The earliest evidence of curling
The predecessor (前身) of curling is a Scottish game in the 16th century played on frozen lakes and ponds, using smooth stones from riverbeds.
Centuries later, the first curling club was founded in Scotland and received the approval of Queen Victoria in 1843. In the sport, players slide the stones toward a target—earning more points the closer the stone lands to the center. By the 20th century, curling was so widespread that it was one of the few sports played in the first Olympic Games in 1924.
【1】The first recorded skiing race was held in _______.
A．Sweden
B．Russia
C．Britain
D．Norway
【2】What can be learned about snowboarding from this passage?
A．It became well known before 1965.
B．It originated from the toy “Snurfer”.
C．It was invented as a means of travel.
D．It was named by the inventor Poppen.
【3】Which sports appeared in the first Olympic Games in 1924?
A．Snurfing and ice hockey.
B．Skating and Alpine skiing.
C．Figure skating and curling.
D．Snowboarding and ski jumping.
