22、I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until I was older. I thought everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friends’ families ate the same government-labeled food as my family ate. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Shopping with my mom made me first understand that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were provided by government so we could eat.
In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. Though my mother was uneducated, she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in a poor family taught me perseverance(毅力) I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient(有适应力的), and how to respect people for who they are as an individual and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. “Hardworking, trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined” are all words not specially connected with poor life. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from.
【1】Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraph 1?
A．To show similar living environment to others.
B．To introduce a normal way of poor people’s life.
C．To stress his values born out of his poor early life.
D．To indicate his unawareness of poverty at an early age.
【2】How might the author feel about his family background before high school?
A．Confident.
B．Awkward.
C．Conflicted.
D．Anxious.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The poor should be respected based on how they look.
B．The author’s poverty inspired him to pursue material wealth.
C．It’s poverty that has motivated the author to develop good qualities.
D．Poor life will definitely contribute to an individual’s quality building.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Tiredness due to poor life as a child.
B．Differences among the poor.
C．Lessons from poverty-struck childhood.
D．Misunderstanding of poverty.
23、Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
【1】Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?
A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
【2】It is suggested in this passage that_______.
A.close relation usually have similar intelligence
B.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
C.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
【3】The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .
A.purposely B.frequently
C.aimlessly D.independently
【4】The best title for this article would be_______.
A.What Dose Intelligence Mean ?
B.On Intelligence
C.We Are Born with Intelligence
D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
24、The United States Department of Agriculture has a program called Wildlife Services. Its job is to help protect agricultural and other resources. Often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors. This organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry centers all over the country where farmer can explain their difficulty and get practical help.
One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State in the Pacific Northwest. Several years ago, thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields. The geese began to eat his carrot crop. Biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away. These efforts succeeded, which made the farmer quite happy. Wildlife Services also has a livestock protection program. The program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them. The Wildlife Services program is part of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS. APHIS offers some suggestions of ways to keep away predators. For example, try to keep food and water safe from wildlife. Fences may help keep out wolves, especially if the fences are at least two meters high.
Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens, sheep and other animals that could be attacked. They also suggest using lights above places where these animals are kept. And they advise people who see wolves to chase them away by shouting, making loud noises or throwing rocks. And to protect livestock, consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys, which are very effective.
For home gardeners, a two-meter fence might help keep out deer. To keep out rabbits, a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high. It should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it. If snakes are a problem, remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places. Due to its effective work, ever since the Wildlife Services was started, it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico.
【1】What does wildlife Services aim to help farmer handle?
A．Animals that attack farmers.
B．People who pollute the farmland.
C．People who don't care about wildlife.
D．Animals that do harm to crops or livestock.
【2】It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ______.
A．the cabbage crop was eaten up by Canada geese
B．the farmer didn't have a gun to kill those Canada geese
C．Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its group
D．the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much
【3】What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?
A．Ways to protect livestock.
B．Ways to deal with wolves.
C．How to protect crops.
D．How to hunt wildlife.
【4】Why should the bottom of the fence extend about 15 centimeters into the ground?
A．Wolves can climb over it easily.
B．The strong wind might blow it away.
C．Snakes can cross it from under the ground.
D．Rabbits may enter by digging holes under it.
【5】Where does the passage probably come from?
A．A tourist brochure.
B．A science magazine.
C．An entertainment program.
