21、My husband and I both grew up playing sports. So we weren’t surprised when our little daughter, Kennedi showed early athletic promise. She could easily outrun other kids, while playing with them on the playground.
By the time Kennedi started primary school, we signed her up for track training. Slowly but surely, track training took over our lives. We gave up taking vacations so our girl wouldn’t miss any practices. I even stopped Kennedi from swimming with her friends, for I thought she would waste the energy needed for competition. We didn’t ask Kennedi if that was what she wanted. Of course she did! she kept winning, and every kid liked to win.
When Kennedi was 13 years old, at a national sports event, she suddenly fell down and ended up lying on the track, screaming in pain. A doctor said, “She worked out too hard that the thick tissue in her knee was torn. she might not run as fast as before.” The doctor kept talking, but I bad a bard time following the words. My feelings were mixed. Was I too strict with my daughter? Was I partly to blame for her injury? Then I realized that my kid needed a mom more than a coach.
To our great relief, after a year-long’s strict medical examination, Kennedi almost recovered. She even joined the volleyball team at her high school. And we were gradually back to a busy family schedule. But not everything is the same. We seldom miss vacations anymore, even if that means missing practice. And I’m learning to believe that if my daughter decides not to run track in college, that only means life has something even more wonderful in store.

【3】What caused Kennedi’s injury, according to the doctor?
A.A serious fall
B.Hard exercise.
C.Carelessness.
D.The running speed.
【4】How would Kennedi’s mother feel about her giving up running in the future?
A.Wonderful.

22、English and Chinese have for a long time been the languages most studied around the world but the line up of other languages of study is ever-changing.
In 2020, Spanish overtook French as the second most learned language on the popular language learning app Duolingo. This could be explained by a number of factors. The Spanish-speaking community is increasingly influential in the US and Latin America is seen as increasingly influential worldwide. It could be that for many people in the US there's a practical need to speak Spanish domestically (国内地) that has overridden the wish to speak French for travel.
Asian languages are also increasing in popularity. There's recently been great interest in Japanese from China, as well as from some African countries including Chad and Ethiopia. We can mainly relate this growing interest to Japan's cultural output and general attraction to its unique culture. Not to mention the Olympics getting the interest of language learners from around the world.
What's striking is that Chinese is now a more popular choice than Russian for language learners.That's probably because the increasing global influence of China means it is seen as a more useful language to speak compared to Russian. Over 100 million learners are thought to be studying Chinese worldwide with interest from the UK, US, India and Africa. It's interesting to see a relatively new superpower overtake a more established one — in language terms at least.
It's hard to judge the cultural influence of a country but the number of people spending time learning more about it through its language is surely a sign that it is exerting influence.
【1】What can we infer about Latin Americans?
A.They often travel to France.
B.They mostly speak Spanish.
C.They influence the USA most.
D.They learn the most languages.
【2】What contributes most to the growing popularity of Japanese?
A.Culture.
B.Tourism.
C.The Olympics.
D.The global influence
【3】What is the author's attitude towards Chinese becoming more popular than Russian?
A.Interested
B.Shocked.
C.Proud.
D.Anxious.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Languages most studied
B.The app most downloaded
C.Changes in language learning
D.The battle between English and Chinese
23、 Water pollution is a serious problem in India. While the government usually plays the blame game as it fails to find an effective solution to such problems many times, the public has taken the matter into its hands and come up with a solution.
Aparna, a first-year college student, is beautifying Ashtamudi Kayal lakebed by reforming wasted plastic bottles. Aparna collected the pretty ones, brought them home and painted and drew on them. Later, when these bottles started piling up in Aparna’s backyard, she decided to sell them. Aparna’s artworks were so good that they created a hit online. What made her happier was the fact that the areas where she was picking these wasted bottles were slowly becoming cleaner.
Aparna also proved to be an inspiration to others. People started collecting wasted plastic materials from the lakebed and sending them to her. However, while collecting the waste materials was easy, Aparna had a difficult time cleaning the insides of the bottles. A lot of people joined her in this initiative and helped not just collect bottles, but also clean them. This motivated Aparna to conduct another programme in her city on World Water Day (March 22), which was attended by college students, teachers, and employees of the state health department. Aparna displayed a few of her artworks made from waste to show people about how objects can be cleaned, decorated and reused.
Talking about people’s view on waste materials, Aparna said, “We often spend much money buying craftworks from the shop. Instead, we can change such waste materials into something useful and beautiful. I was teased so much for collecting waste from the road. It is the attitude that should be changed.”
【1】What does the government do with pollution?
A.It attempts but accomplishes nothing.
B.It makes and carries out practical plans.
C.It calls on and depends on common people.
D.It governs and succeeds by doing nothing.
【2】How does Aparna fight against plastic pollution?
A.By storing plastic materials. B.By decorating the lakebed.
C.By buying much plastic waste. D.By recycling plastic bottles.
【3】What limited Aparna’s work on environmental protection?
A.The lack of hands to clean bottles.
B.The blame from the government.
C.Too much waste from the local people.
D.The shortage of space to store the waste.
【4】What is Aparna’s attitude to people’s view on waste materials?
A.Positive. B.Uncaring. C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.
