21、The United States is a large country, and there are areas where people use different words for the same thing or say the same words differently.
Although school systems across the country teach standard American English, many Americans grow up speaking non-standard American English. These varieties(变体)are also called dialects (方言). People may not even realize they are speaking a non-standard form of the language.
Let us look at some vocabulary differences from different areas of the United States.
One of the main varieties of American English is vocabulary. Different words can be used for the same idea or thing, depending on the area of the U.S., such as the Northeast, the South, and the Midwest or the West.
Take for example a kind of cloth shoe that is worn for informal times or for sports. What would you call this? Many Americans in the South, the Midwest, and the West Coast call sports shoes “tennis shoes”. It does not matter if they play the sport of tennis.The shoes just might be their everyday shoes. They call them “tennis shoes” anyway. In the Northeast, they use the word “sneakers”.
Some sugary drinks have different names depending on where you are from. In the Midwest, the western part of the state of Pennsylvania, and parts of the Appalachian Mountains, especially in the state of West Virginia, people call them “pop”. In parts of the Northeast and the West Coast, they are called “soda”. And people in some southern states use one name for all those kinds of sugary drinks. They call them “Coke”, which is short for Coca Cola.
For our final vocabulary word,we have the insect(昆虫)that flies at night in the summertime and lights up. In parts of the Northeast and West coast, the word “firefly” is commonly used. In parts of Appalachia, the Midwest, and the South, “lightning bug” is probably most common. Sometimes people in the U.S. use both words.
【1】Which part of American English does the author mainly talk about?
A．Its words.

C．Its spelling.
D．Its pronunciation.
【2】Where do people call sports shoes“sneakers”?

22、（题文）After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States.
B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
23、I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
【1】How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A．Relieved.
B．Thrilled.
C．Nervous.
D．Desperate.
【2】Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A．To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B．To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C．To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D．To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the lost prize money and praise?
A．Favorable.
B．Optimistic.
C．Concerned.
D．Amazed.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Successful Failure
B．A Slippery Path
C．An Unexpected Speech
D．An Impressive Example
24、Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.

B．A tasty dish.
C．Some yellow flowers.

【3】How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course?
A．They have low attendance.
B．They become the hardest to reach.
C．They know how to make weapons.
D．They fall in love with learning.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B．Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C．How a Teacher Changes His Students
