21、When officials from Brazil’s Indigenous (原住民) protection agency approached the hut in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, their fears were confirmed: They were witnessing the first recorded dying out of an uncontacted tribe in the country’s history.
The man lying there, the last member of his tribe, had died, and with him an entire culture and answers to a thousand questions.
Even his name was a mystery. He was known only as “the Man of the Hole” because of the dozens of holes he had dug over the years in his territory. His age, too, could only be guessed at. He appeared to be about 60, officials said.
It was a sad milestone for a country that in recent years has seen protections for Indigenous groups undermined by an administration that has prioritized development of the Amazon over conservation.
In Rondônia, the only resident of the 8,000-hectare (公顷) area lived in complete isolation for at least 26 years after the rest of his group was killed by ranchers (农场主) advancing the agricultural frontier.
Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency, Funai made direct contact with the last surviving man only in 1996. Marcelo dos Santos, an Indigenous expert, who led the Funai exploit that met the man, said he was found hiding in his hut. “We tried to establish a conversation and offered corn and arrows, but he was terrified and very aggressive. From this moment on, we had to respect his isolation.”
Even with protections in place, the territory suffered widespread deforestation up until about 13 years ago. Attacks on the last surviving man continued, as well, including one by armed gunmen in 2009, according to local news reports.
“For me, he was somehow a miracle: to be able to survive on his own, not speak to anybody and avoid all contact maybe out of grief or determination,” said Fiona Watson, a research director at Survival International, a London-based rights organization.
【1】The death of “the Man of the Hole” __________.
A．was hidden from the public by ranchers
B．symbolized the disappearance of a tribe
C．revealed his name, age and family background
D．was broadcast live by Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency
【2】The underlined word “undermined” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A．afforded
B．monitored
C．sought
D．weakened
【3】In 1996, “the Man of the Hole” __________.
A．made his last contact with the outside world
B．witnessed the most severe deforestation in history
C．escaped being shot by a group of aggressive gunmen
D．learned more survival skills with arrows offered by Funai
【4】What does Fiona Watson regard “the Man of the Hole” as?
A．An image of fear and isolation.
B．An image of culture and mystery.
C．A symbol of resistance and strength.
D．A symbol of history and struggle.
22、Americans spend almost four hours a day on their phones. 【1】 Instagram is now a breeding ground (温床) for photo sharing, thanks especially to its story feature. Now people aren't just posting their best pictures, they’re sharing every step of their journey.
Take me for example — I blog about travel for a living. I’m pretty much done with trip reports, but I still share my travels on Instagram Stories. During a trip to Turkey last summer, I realized quickly that I wasn't seeing and experiencing things first-hand. 【2】 I had my phone in hand almost the entire time to record and share the “experience.”
There was one day on my trip when I decided to walk from the Bomonti area to Taksim Square. At first, I had my eyes glued to the phone to navigate(导航) my way. Then I began taking pictures of interesting things and distractedly moving along. Then it hit me: This isn't safe. Also, I'm not taking in all the sights and passing by great shops without looking at anything. 【3】
My arms were free to swing(摆动) at my sides and I made eye contact with people who smiled and said hello. I smelled the delicious wet burgers and stopped to grab one. 【4】 More importantly, I felt the energy of the city and took in all the sights and sounds. I don't have recordings of most of it, but it lives in my memory. It was one of my favorite days of the trip — just walking through Istanbul on my own and feeling the city with all my senses.
Keeping our eyes glued to our screens, we’re missing out on the true beauty around us. 【5】 It has to be experienced through all five senses and spending too much of it looking at our phones, trying to share it with the world, ruins that.
A．Vacations are no exception.
B．We’re too absorbed in our journey.
C．Travel isn’t just experienced through the eyes.
D．So I put my phone away for the rest of the way.
E．I found a lovely scarf and bought it at a nice price
F．I was viewing everything through my phone’s camera.
G．People travel to destinations just because they're “Instafamous.”
23、Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms （批评） are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.
No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.
【1】The author thinks parents ________.
A．should send their children to college
B．should support their children after they get married
C．need to buy an apartment for their children
D．needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities

A．Right.
B．Promise.
C．Duty.
D．Excuse.
【3】According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes?
A．Understand them and tell them not to do that again.
B．Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time.
C．Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters.
D．Correct their mistakes immediately.
【4】What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A．The duties of parents.
B．The best way to teach children.
C．The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy.
D．The reason why parents owe their children something.
24、A quick-thinking Facebook post has made this grandfathers upcoming 98th birthday one he’ll remember forever.
Ever since Alfred Birch’s wife passed away over a decade ago, he’s lived with his daughter and granddaughter. The incredibly close family, who come from Manchester-by the-Sea in Massachusetts, were shocked when their beloved Alfred was admitted to hospital with heart failure earlier this month.
