21、Four things that you can't miss in Macao
Visit a museum
Macao, a tiny lttle city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum. Some are free for the visitors. Some are not.
Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul

22、Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to know what is going on in the world and what people are thinking about.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows that you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No.” You nod and people know you are saying “Yes.”
Other things can also carry messages. For example, A sign P by the road helps you to find a place to park your car.A sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out.

23、Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish. After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with a brake lever inserted in her leg, and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in amazement. “As they gave basic medical treatment to me, I thought they help everybody and they can do anything,” says the now 52-year-old from Toronto, Canada.
In 2000, Speranza fulfilled her dream of becoming a firefighter, joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as fulfilling as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen another woman in her role, not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting, and police work. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting(招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centres. Over the course of eight days, the girls discover the ins and outs of being first responders: learning how to put out fires, delivering first aid and even using the jaws of life on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. Hundreds of girls have now passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country.
“I used to think that it’s awesome that I can be a firefighter and save all these people,”
Speranza says with a smile. But the opportunity to recruit other girls to save lives alongside her is what really keeps her going. “It’s not even measurable.”
【1】What made Speranza want to be a firefighter?
A.Her dream as a baby.
B.The emergency call.
C.Firefighters’ encouragement.
D.Her admiration for firemen.
【2】Why did Spreranza set up Camp Courage?
A.To create more jobs for women.
B.To strengthen fire fighting force.
C.To see more females in her field.
D.To improve the status of women.
【3】What can we learn about Camp Courage?
A.It runs throughout the year.
B.It attracts women of all ages.
C.It operates well and bears fruit.
D.It provides training for firefighters.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A female firefighter.
B.An immeasurable career.
C.A good choice for women.
D.A dream-building program.
24、Norway shares a long eastern border (边界) with Sweden and is bordered by Finland and Russia to the northeast, and the Skagerrak Strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side of the strait. It has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.
For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality of life among the world’s nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, and the job they want — unemployment is only about 4 percent according to recent data updated in 2019. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just about 100 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per capita basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.
When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first time, don’t expect to see Dubai-style tall buildings, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. But in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining (重新定义) what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.
Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put into its pensions (养老金) — worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.
【1】Where is the Skagerrak Strait?
A.Near the Barents Sea.
B.On the east of Finland.
C.Near the north of Norway.
D.On the north of Denmark.
【2】What leads to Norway’s success?
A.Its huge oil reserves.
B.Its low unemployment rate.
C.Its quality education.
D.Its pleasant environment.
【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Norwegians are seeking a modern life.
B.Norway doesn’t like showing off its wealth.
C.Norway puts much focus on the traffic.
D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.
【4】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Norway’s future should be considered.
B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.
C.Norway has saved enough pensions.
D.Norway’s retired population is decreasing.
25、In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and with each race they try to achieve a new personal best.
As a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running in a race. Aiming to _________ his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to _________ himself hard.

_________, his coach asked him if he wanted to stop. He didn’t. With great _________ Cerveny pulled himself up and with a(n) _________ pace, moved forward for one final push. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. Less than 100 meters from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply _________.
Before Cerveny’s coach could _________ him, Brandon Schutt was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first _________ to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he __________ to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was on his feet.
At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for __________, the two completed the final 75 meters of the course together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, __________ his opponent a faster time.
