21、So how do you kill time to relax yourself? Here are some of the things my friends and I did to have fun without modern conveniences last month.
Card games
Playing cards can bring hours of fun! It is the most common card game. You only need a pack of cards. The games include ‘President’, ‘Cheat’ and a take on the game ‘UNO’.
Hunt the thimble
One player hides a thimble or another small object in a room, while the other players stay outside. The other players then return to the room and look for the object. The player who hid the thimble can give clues or say ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ depending on how close the players are to the object. The person who finds the item first wins.
Board games
Board games are great at helping pass the time on a dull day. In the game, players have to deduce (推断) the mystery of the story. For example, when solving the mystery of the broken toy, players have to discover which toy it was, who broke it, and when it was broken.
Consequences
This is a very amusing game. All you need is a pen and piece of paper for each person in the group. Everyone writes the beginning of a story. Then it is passed to the next person in the circle, who writes the next word or sentence. But the challenge is that the paper is folded so that only the most recent phrase can be seen before being passed again to the next player, who writes the next line and so on. After ten sentences have been written, the whole story is seen clearly. Usually there will be some funny stories to make you laugh!
【1】Which game favors a player good at finding/hidden objects?
A．Card games.
B．Hunt the thimble.
C．Board games.
D．Consequences.
【2】What challenges players in Consequences?

B．Players must write clearly and completely.
C．Players should write the beginning of a story on the paper.

【3】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To instruct readers to play four games.
B．To compare which game is more funny.
C．To introduce some games to pass the time.
D．To inform readers he could play four games.
22、 Students from low income families have the difficulties against them. Many are first generation Americans whose families are keeping the wolf from the door-and international travel isn't even a consideration. Afar, a media and travel company, is working to change that. Its program Learning Afar, which launched in 2009, sends high school students from underserved communities abroad to learn about things like sustainability（持续性）and community-building.
Afar cofounder Joe Diaz said the core belief behind the program is that travel is the best form of education.
The program started when' 20 students, 10 from Yonkers, New York, and 10 from Oakland, California, traveled to Costa Rica. Since then, it has sent 613 students and 79 educators to six countries 63% of the students are first generation Americans and 93% are on free or reduced lunch programs. Diaz believes that giving students the opportunity to “travel in a deeper way” will finally improve the country.
The trips last between 8 and 15 days, depending on the destination and the funding, which comes from Afar and by corporate and individual donations.
The company begins by identifying a school in a low income area. Students apply and are chosen based on factors like advantages, need, passion and diversity. But they're not looking for straight-A students, but, rather, applicants that express the desire to participate and a strong interest in the world around them.
Diaz said one of the program's goals is that students will form bonds that continue when they return to their schools, creating a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout the student body. Diaz said this happened with a group of Chicago students who traveled to Costa Rica and learned about the problems associated with littering. When, they returned, they created a school-wide campaign focused on dealing with waste. And the program's benefits extend beyond just high school. Diaz said 100% of Learning Afar participants have graduated from high school, which is remarkable, considering that graduation rates in their schools are closer to 50%.
【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．High school students from poor families can't afford to go abroad.
B．The first generation families are keeping the wolf out of the door.
C．International students show no interest in their school.
D．High school students have trouble with their study.
【2】What is the length of the time based on during the trip?
A．The date of starting off.
B．The number of the participants.
C．The destination and the funding.
D．The income of the participants.
【3】What is vital when choosing participants of the program?
A．Language abilities.
B．A strong desire.
C．Wealthy family.
D．Higher scores.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The program is even beneficial to the whole country.
B．The high school graduation rates of participants are much higher.
C．Some of the students abroad are unwilling to return to their school.
D．All of the students work together to continue the unfinished program.
23、In a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．
There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11．
Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers．for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still．the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
【1】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere．

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.
A．make TV and telephone available everywhere
B．bring great change to people’s everyday life
C. bring faster Internet connections to users
D. make it possible for more people to use the Internet
【3】What may eventually settle the“last mile”problem?
A. The broadband connection’s getting faster．
B．The rapid progress in cell phone technology．
C．More and more Internet connections．
D. More and more Internet users
【4】The best title for this passage may be________．
A．Internet Connection Problems

24、 When I was in primary school, I got into an argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day.
I was convinced that “I” was right and “he” was wrong — and he was just as convinced that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.
In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered.
I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective (看法).

A.side by side B.face to face
