21、 Across the world language and history are closely connected. Languages are borrowed and changed. And as society changes, new words or phrases are created to show the current cultural understanding. Some phrases and words simply develop accepted usage, their origin forgotten.
One such phrase “grandfathered in” has become common, meaning someone is free from following new rules or regulations. While it often makes us think of the image of a gray-haired, older gentleman who gets out of trouble, the intention behind the term arose from something bad. Today, the term is widely used, most notably in real estate(房地产) and health insurance.
But when the term was first created in the 1890, it referred to only one thing: voting rights. After the 15th Amendment(修正案) was carried by the US Constitution in 1870 banning taking away people's right to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude (奴役), some southern states did not readily accept the ruling Instead, they carefully made amendments at the state level that avoided the federal law to try to keep African Americans from accessing polling stations(投票站).Since the basis of race could no longer be used, the state amendments introduced poll taxes as well as literacy(识字) tests. These limits were powerful; close to 30 percent of all voting-age males couldn't read or write, most of whom were poor black men. But those taxes and tests would also affect poor unlearned white voters. Thus, a grandfather clause (条款)was added to allow an unlearned man to vote as long as he or his lineal ancestor had been a registered voter before 1867-three years before the passage of the 15th Amendment.
The clauses no doubt not only influenced the vote along racial lines, but party lines(党派界限). At the time, most African Americans were Republicans (the party of Abraham Lincoln) and most whites were Democrats. The influence served to keep power in the hands of the Democrats.
The phrase “grandfathered in” is of course still widely used today without the meaning of taking away one's voting rights. But even as culture develops, whether we're aware of it or not, language has the power to hold our history.
【1】In which condition is someone considered to be "grandfathered in"?
A．When he looks like an old man.
B．When he disagrees with new rules.
C．When he is not limited by new rules.
D．When he succeeds in making big money.
【2】What was some southern states purpose in making state amendments?
A．To stop black people from voting.
B．To make black people work for them.
C．To save face before the northern states.
D．To reduce the number of polling stations.
【3】Why was the grandfather clause added to the state amendments?
A．To cut poll taxes for poor white men.
B．To make sure uneducated whites could vote.
C．To allow more white men to be educated.
D．To free old white men from taking literacy tests.
【4】What does paragraph 5 focus on?
A．The fights caused by the clauses.
B．The composition of the two parties.
C．The link between language and history.
D．The power of culture.
22、 The seabird population on a small British island off the coast Devon and South Wales has increased quickly following the removal of rats.
There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched ‘in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ((RSPB)) ), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.
Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations. "
Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious."It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "
A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.
【1】Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?
A. To kill invasive species. B. To save seabirds in danger.
C. To keep balance in nature. D. To decrease the rat’s number.
【2】What can we infer about the rat removal project?
A. It is favored by animal rights groups.
B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.
C. It has protected 10% of species on UK’s 169 islands.
D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.
【3】What will be done next according to Dean Jones?
A. Plan the future of seabirds. B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.
C. Keep a careful watch for rats. D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A. A news report. B. A research paper.
C. A biology textbook. D. A medical magazine.
23、My mother always said, "You young men should explore your own country before stepping out into the world." It seemed like a tough task. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July in 2017. I jumped at the opportunity and secured an inexpensive ticket.
Excitement was at its peak as I approached the train station on the morning when my 22-day adventure was to begin. I jumped on board the passenger vessel (车厢) like it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. The train headed west in search of our first destination — the scenic town of Banff, Alberta. After just an hour on the train, desperation already came on me. The thought of three full days on those tracks broke my spirits. As I gazed out towards Lake Superior's glistening (闪闪发亮) waves, I decided if I was to be stuck in here, I would need to enjoy my time.
Those three days turned into a summer camp on rails. Real friendships with the crew were born within that train. Stops were made in small, remote railroad villages. A large group of strangers turned travelling companions would rush towards the villages to reward our endless patience with local cuisine. At night, we would walk to the glass-domed (玻璃穹顶) train car,which gave a scenic view of the night sky, untouched by light pollution.
After three days, we arrived in Banff. Before my adventure of taking the train across Canada, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. But that is no longer true. I've learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
【1】What made the author's train trip possible?
A．The attraction of the splendid scenery.
B．A time-limited ticket offer for youths.
C．The encouragement from his mother.
D．His determination to face the tough tasks.
【2】Which of the following best describes the author as a young man?
A．Considerate.
B．Determined.
C．Smart.
D．Adaptable.
【3】What has the author learned from his adventure?
A．To enjoy travelling on his own.
B．To skip to the final destination.
C．To explore more in the process.
D．To be content with train service.
