21、On a cold morning in 2015, five-year-old Lucas stood on the bank of Blue Star River, hugging a dead salmon（鲑鱼）against his thick yellow coat. He looked up at his father, Steve, who nodded encouragingly. “Go ahead,” he said. “Put it in.” The young boy dragged his feet forward and held the fish as far as he could into the shallow water. “It’s floating!” Lucas yelled, delighted. For a moment, it’s almost as if the handsome salmon could come back to life.
Lucas’ salmon was just one of 100 or so dead bodies that will land in Blue Star River in a half-hour activity this morning, delivered by dozens of volunteers. None of the salmon will rise from the dead, but Andy, president of the Fish Rescue Society, who has promoted this gathering, is carrying out the resurrection （复活）project of salmon.
Andy led the group’s campaign to recover this urban waterway’s salmon population. “The Fish Rescue Society started exploring the possibility of recovering the salmon in the river in the mid-1990s, and they also focused on river recovery in cities worldwide.”
Andy and his group are devoted to giving the river a full make-over. This monumental repair job, supported by approximately $95,000 of funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation over the past 15 years, has involved recovering the river-habitat of salmon and preventing it from wearing away. Work on the river’s final section was completed in October 2016.

22、 TAP into TV visited one of the last remaining pencil factories in America: Musgrave Pencil Company in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Although there are changes in American manufacturing and the technology is developing fast, Musgrave is still a healthy business. They spoke with Henry Hulan of Musgrave about how pencils are made, the long history of pencil-making in Central Tennessee, and the lasting popularity of the pencil in the digital era.
Henry Hulan is the grandson of the founder of Musgrave Pencil Co., James Musgrave, who is commonly referred to as “Colonel Musgrave”. James Musgrave founded the company in 1916.
James developed an innovative way to make pencils: the pencil slat. Grooves (凹槽) are cut into thin pieces of wood called slats, graphite (石墨) cores are laid into the grooves, and lastly, another grooved slat is glued on top. All three layers are pressed together, then shaved and separated into individual pencils.
Interestingly, Musgrave did not use wood from trees at first. “A lot of people don’t know it but we were probably one of the first people that did any kind of recycling,” Hulan said. Colonel Musgrave bought cedar rail fences (雪松栅栏) from farmers who were transitioning (转变) to fences made of modern materials. “We did not cut a tree,” Hulan added. Those fences were made of Tennessee Red Cedar, plentiful in the area, and were the perfect material for pencils.
As other pencil companies in Central Tennessee closed and business moved to other states or overseas, Musgrave has been able to keep open, employing local workers and putting out a quality, American-made product. Through a combination of strategic management decisions, long-term employees and loyal customers, they’ve been successful. Recently there’s been a growing demand for pencils in the digital era. “Pencils are special.
People like them because they are wood — not plastic. The feel and the look of a pencil are just one of those things that will never be replaced,” Hulan said.
【1】What do we know about Musgrave Pencil Co.?
A．It was established by Henry Hulan.
B．It has a history of over 100 years.

A．The importance of grooves for pencil making.
B．The modern techniques of making pencil slats.

D．James Musgrave’s suggestions for pencil-making.
【3】What did Musgrave Pencil Co. do to make pencils?
A．It cut down many trees.
B．It paid farmers to plant cedars.
C．It made use of recycled fences.
D．It took advantage of modern materials.

23、You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

24、 Children born in the early 21st century will likely never know a world without the Internet, television, and other forms of instant intellectual satisfaction. The average high school student in any developed nation has access to more information than some of the greatest minds in history, such as Socrates or Da Vinci, ever had in their lifetimes. Some critics of this phenomenon fear that instantaneous（瞬时的）access to all of this information has the potential to overload users, however. Instead of researching deeper into one particular subject, many people are now dabbling on(浅尝）the surface of many interests and subjects of study at the same time. Author Richard Foreman described those who have spread themselves thinly across a wide range of subjects as pancake people.
For many generations, scholars and artists tended to concentrate their energy on one particular subject. For William Shakespeare, that interest was literature; for Mozart, it was musical composition; and for Newton, physics. Visual artists were not expected to understand higher mathematics, nor were philosophers (哲学家）expected to study engineering. Without widespread access to libraries or the ability to spread their latest creations to the rest of the world instantly, many people worked hard in relative obscurity（冷门）to explore the depths of their chosen jobs or subjects of interest.
With the development of the Internet and other sources of information that can be accessed quickly and easily, many people attempt to gain at least a working knowledge of many different subjects. As a result, a new generation have essentially become the proverbial jacks of all trades, but masters of none. A linguist（语言学家）from the 18th may have studied Spanish or French until he or she could translate even the most complex literary works written in those languages, but modern pancake people only learn enough of the language to travel as a tourist. As long as the information necessary to perform a task or create a new work is at a person’s fingertips，there is always the risk of that person losing some intellectual curiosity.
【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?
A.People nowadays have access to more information than before.
B.Interest is becoming more and more important in modern society.
C.Children will know nothing about the world without modern social media.
D.Students in developed nations know more than the greatest minds in history.
【2】How does the author develop his argument in Paragraph 2?
A.By comparison. B.By example.
C.By classification. D.By cause and effect.
【3】Pancake people refer to those who___________________.
A.are gifted in music, art or literature
B.are knowledgeable in different fields
C.know a working knowledge of many different subjects
D.tend to concentrate their energy on one particular subject
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to pancake people?
A.Disapproving. B.Favorable.
C.Doubtful. D.Unconcerned.
