21、Friendship is above reason, for, though you find virtues (美德) in a friend, he has been your friend before you find them. It is a gift that we offer because we must; to give it as the reward of virtue would be to set a price upon it, and those who do that have no friendship to give. If you choose your friends on the grounds that you are virtuous and want virtuous company, you are no nearer to true friendship than if you choose them for commercial reasons. Besides, who are you that you should be setting a price upon your friendship? It is enough for any man that he has the power of making friends, and he must leave it to that power to determine who his friends shall be. For, though you may choose the virtuous to be your friends, they may not choose you. It comes, like sleep, when you are not thinking about it; and you should be grateful, without any misgiving, when it comes.
So no man who knows what friendship is will give up a friend because he turns out to be disreputable (声名狼藉的). His only reason for giving up a friend is that he has stopped caring for him; and, when that happens, he should blame himself for this poverty (缺乏) of affection, not the friend for having proved unworthy.
We have our judgments and our punishments as part of the political mechanism that is forced upon us so that we may continue to live; but friendship is not friendship at all unless it teaches us that these are not part of our real life. It is only in the warmth of friendship that we see how cold a thing it is to judge and how stupid to take a pleasure in judging; for we recognize this warmth as a positive good, a richness in our natures, while the coldness that sets us judging is a poverty.
There are men who cannot be friends except when they are under an illusion (幻觉) that their friends are perfect, and when the illusion passes there is an end of their friendship. But true friendship has no illusions, for it reaches to that part of a man’s nature that is beyond his imperfections. A man is your friend, not because of his superiorities (优越), but because there is something open from your nature to his, a way that is closed between you and most men.
【1】What is the author’s attitude towards choosing friends on the grounds of their virtues?
A．Uncertain.
B．Concerned.
C．Supportive.
D．Disapproving.
【2】According to the author, you may give up your friend only when he ________.
A．shows no care for you

A．We should not make a judgment about others.
B．Friendship can turn us to be kind-hearted people.
C．The political mechanism plays an important role in our life.
D．Friendship teaches us to have a positive attitude towards life.

22、Most of the diseases are caused by bacteria on the hands. 99% of the spread of bacteria traveling through droplets can be prevented by proper hand-washing. Bacteria can be picked up while people are using public restrooms, reading in libraries and sharing computers, etc. Every individual needs to wash his or her hands properly to reduce disease spread.
Turn on the tap and let running water wet the hands and wrists. While using a public restroom, one should consider that the faucets(水龙头) might have been polluted. Thus one should turn on the tap by using a paper towel. Apply some soap to the hands. Soap works well to remove the dirt.
For at least 15 seconds rub(搓) the hands strongly together, which, along with the soap and water, helps wash off bacteria. Rub the hands thoroughly, including the back of the hands, between the fingers, around the surfaces, under the fingernails and wrists.
Under running water, wash the hands well. The running water carries away the dirt from the hands. While washing the fingers, allow the water to drop downwards instead of moving towards the elbows and polluting them. With a clean towel, dry the hands. If you are using a public restroom, a paper towel should be used to turn the faucet off.
When soap and water are not available, the alcohol-based hand sanitizer(消毒杀菌剂) proves to be an excellent alternative. In fact, this hand sanitizer is more effective in killing viruses and bacteria, compared with soap and water, which only wash them off. Hand sanitizers can help prevent skin dryness, but some of them may lack the alcohol content and are therefore not recommended. Washing the hands with the sanitizer simply requires rubbing the hands together till they are dry. The hand sanitizer should cover all the surfaces of the hands.
【1】What is implied in the first paragraph?
A．Washing hands regularly may free you from diseases.
B．Dirty hands may leave bacteria in public places.
C．Reading in libraries is not advised due to bacteria.
D．Sharing computers is not recommended now.
【2】What is the RIGHT order of proper hand-washing?
a.Turn on the faucet and wet the hands.
b.Dry the hands with a clean towel and turn off the tap.
c.Apply some soap to the hands and rub the hands completely.
d.Wash the hands under running water and wash them downwards.
A．abcd
B．adcb
C．acbd
D．acdb
【3】What can we know about washing hands with hand sanitizers according to the passage?
A．About half a teaspoon of sanitizer is enough.
B．For dirty hands, hand sanitizers are useless.
C．Only the alcohol-based ones should be used.
D．Hand sanitizers can wash off bacteria completely.
【4】What’s the possible title for the passage?
A．Proper hand-washing techniques
B．Frequent washing kills viruses
C．The best way to prevent bacteria
D．Ways to avoid spread of infection
23、Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional(传统的)of American holidays. The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of hard work, the Pilgrim colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. It is a day of family get-together and it is common to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are carnival parades (花车游行) for children. In other cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.
In my family, we always go to my grandmother’s house on Thanksgiving Day. All my aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces gather for a family homecoming. We always invite some friends to join us. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy talk about everything we know. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help my grandmother prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television or to discuss business or polities. If the weather is fine enough, some of the men go outside to play ball with the children. At about four o'clock we all sit down to dinner. My grandfather gives thanks for all that we have received from God and then he starts to cut the turkey. We always have the traditional dinner of stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, apple cider, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pie. After dinner, no one can move and we all sit around and talk, play word games, or tell jokes until it is time to go home. It is always difficult to leave because Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when all the families get together.

24、 Roughly 100 m farmers in several tropical countries depend on coffee for their livelihoods. Unfortunately for them, and for the many other coffee drinkers around the world, coffee bushes grow best in a rather narrow range of temperatures, so their cultivation is threatened by a changing climate. But a chance discovery by Aaron Davis of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in Britain, published in Nature Plants, may offer a way out. Dr Davis and his colleagues report that they have tracked down a type of wild coffee which is both pleasant to taste and tolerant of higher temperatures.
The existing coffee market is dominated by Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Coffea arabica prefers temperatures of 18-22 °C. Recent work suggests that Coffea canephora does not flourish above 24 °C.
Many other coffee species, indeed, grow in places warmer than those preferred by canephora and arabica. But all were thought to have poorer flavours, smaller beans and lower yields. Dr Davis, however, came across a paper written in 1834 by George Don, a Scottish botanist, which described a species from the lowland hills of Sierra Leone. Don dubbed（给……起绰号）it Coffea stenophylla, and wrote that it had a flavour superior to arabica's.
This piqued Dr Davis's interest, for stenophylla still grows, he discovered, in parts of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast that have temperature ranges between 24 and 26 °C. He and his colleagues also learned that stenophylla was farmed up until the 1920s, after which canephora, which had higher yields, took over. Stenophylla was then gradually forgotten.
That history of previous cultivation did, however, suggest stenophylla was worth looking into. The crucial question was Don's praise for its flavour justified? To find out, Dr Davis arranged a competition involving 18 professional coffee tasters who assessed, in a blind comparison, a set of samples that included stenophylla, two types of arabica and one of canephora.
Stenophylla performed well. It was rated as having higher fruitlike qualities than a Brazilian arabica and an Indonesian canephora, and also a more favourable acidity and more complex flavour profile, though slightly less of these qualities than an Ethiopian arabica. When asked if what they were tasting was arabica, the judges said "yes" 81% for samples of stenophylla, compared with 98% for the arabica from Ethiopia.
These results suggest that Don's report from 1834 is correct. Stenophylla does taste like arabica. And, crucially, it tolerates higher temperatures than either arabica or canephora. The rediscovery of stenophylla's qualities offers hope not only to coffee growers who might otherwise have had their businesses harmed by rising temperatures, but also to the world's caffeine addicts, who need now worry less about the future supply of their drug of choice.
【1】Why are coffee yields threatened?
A．The number of coffee drinkers is decreasing.
B．Global temperature is rising.
C．Less farmers plant coffee bushes.
D．Farmers choose other crops for their livelihood.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?

B．Coffea arabica grows in places warmer than many other coffee species.
C．Coffea stenophylla had lower yields than canephora.
D．Coffea stenophylla is still favoured by farmers.
【3】The research conducted by Dr Davis reveals that ______.
A．Stenophylla has the same qualities as an Ethiopian arabica
B．An Ethiopian arabica tastes like stenophylla
C．A Brazilian arabica tastes better than stenophylla
D．The flavour of stenophylla is like arabica's
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain a study method on coffee species.
B．To introduce a new species of coffee.
C．To stress the importance of coffee growing.
D．To propose a new way to increase coffee crops.
