21、 While Charlotte Uhlenbroek loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.
She’s just finished filming a TV series called Jungle——a 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most challenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-metre-high tree in Borneo, when I’m scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, ‘Down! Down!’ I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me down below.”
And “down below” was where the bugs were——clinging, stinging, sucking beasts. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest (痒的) bites I’ve ever had. At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most disgusting thing, though, was try to pull the leches (水蛭) off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, ‘Get them off!’ and the film crew kept saying, “Just one minute... this makes a really good shot!”
Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “I’ve been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when I’ve been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favourite meal.”
【1】Why does Charlotte explore the jungles?
A.She enjoys taking adventures.
B.She wants to challenge herself.
C.She takes part in shooting a TV series.
D.She is interested in the jungle bugs.
【2】What can we learn about Charlotte’s experience in the jungles?

B.She once had 70 bites by the sweat bees in the Congo.
C.The mosquito bites were the worst bites she’d ever had.
D.The film crew helped her to get the leches from her leg.
【3】What does Charlotte miss most when she was in the jungles?
A.Nice and long showers. B.Her family members.
C.Her comfortable bed. D.Her favourite snacks.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The TV Series ---- Jungle B.Explore the Amazon Jungle
C.Return to the Age of Civilization D.What a Jungle Journey!
22、Monopoly (大富翁) is a very popular board game around the world today, but little is known about its American inventor, Elizabeth Magie, and the philosophy behind her invention.
Born in 1866, Magie was a rebel against the norms and politics of her times. Inspired by Henry George who believed that all men should have an equal right to use the land as they have to breathe air, she challenged the capitalist system of property ownership —in the form of a board game. In 1904, she patented her Landlord’s Game, which consisted of a circuit of streets and landmarks for sale.
Magie’s game contained two sets of rules: The Prosperity rules and the Monopolist rules. The Prosperity rules stated that every player should gain each time someone acquired a new property. The game was won (by all!) when the player starting with the least money doubled his or her fortune. Under Monopolist rules, on the other hand, each player advanced by acquiring properties and collecting rent from all who landed there later. Whoever managed to bankrupt the other players won the game. The purpose of the dual sets of rules, said Magie, was for players to understand how these different approaches to property can lead to different social outcomes: “all win” or “win all.”
The game soon became a hit on college campuses and among Quaker communities, and some people modified the game board. An unemployed player named Charles Darrow sold this modified version to the manufacturer Parker Brothers as his own. However, when the game’s true origin came to light, Parker Brothers bought the patent from Magie for only $500. They then re-launched the game as Monopoly, including only the rules leading to the triumph of one over all. Darrow was publicized as the inventor who had become a millionaire from selling the game. Thus a rags-to-riches myth was created, ironically exemplifying Monopoly’s implicit (含蓄的) values: Chase wealth and crush your opponents if you want to come out on top.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?
A．The creation and modification of a board game.
B．A fight between patent owners of a popular game.
C．A socio-economic victory behind a landlord game.
D．The person who became a millionaire from a fun game.
【2】What was the main purpose of Magie’s Prosperity rules?
A．To emphasize the value of the capitalist system.
B．To introduce different approaches to obtaining new land.
C．To advocate that all should be rewarded when one acquires wealth.
D．To challenge George’s idea that men should have an equal right to the land.
【3】What does “a rags-to-riches myth” refer to in the last paragraph?
A．A modified version of Monopoly.
B．Darrow’s success after selling the game.
C．Parker Brothers’ purchase of Magie’s patent.
D．The popularity of the game on college campuses.
【4】Which of the following would best describe Magie’s feelings toward today’s version of her game?
A．Excited.
B．Relieved.
C．Doubtful.
D．Displeased.
23、 A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking. “Some nights I’m up until 1 a.m. making pies, or even later if we’re cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.
For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen machines,” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us.”
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity(慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity. Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties in a similar way: the host pays for the ingredients(食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.
Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave cooking alone until they finish high school.
【1】Why does Lanster and Moran cook now?
A．To get gifts from guests.
B．To raise money for charity.
C．To become cooks.
D．To make healthier eating choices.
【2】What can we infer about Lanster and Moran?
A．They will give up cooking forever.
B．They are sure about their future jobs.
C．Their parents support cooking as a job.
D．They will stop cooking for college application.
【3】How can we best describe Lanster and Moran?
A．Selfish and reliable.
B．Creative and helpful.
C．Confident and careful.
D．Outgoing and patient.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Great Cook
B．Eat as you Wish
C．Helping by Cooking
D．Cooking for School Fees
