21、Snoring(打鼾) is noisy breathing during sleep. It is a common problem among all ages and it influences about 90 million American adults. People most at risk are males and those who are overweight, but snoring is a problem of both genders, although it is possible that women do not present this complaint as frequently as men.
Snoring is often the loud or harsh sound that can occur as you sleep. You snore when the flow of air makes the tissue in the back of your throat vibrate(颤动) as you breathe. The sound most often occurs as you breathe in air, and can come through the nose, mouth or both two organs. It can occur during any stage of sleep.
About half of people snore at some point in their lives. Snoring is more common among men, though many women snore. It appears to run in families and becomes more common as you get older. About 40 percent of adult men and 24 percent of adult women are habitual snorers. Men become less likely to snore after the age of 70.
Sleeping on your back may make you more likely to snore. You may snore when your throat or tongue muscles are relaxed. And substances(物质) that can relax these muscles may cause you to snore. These include alcohol, muscle relaxants and other medicine.
Snoring can be a nuisance to your partner and anyone else nearby. You may even snore loudly enough to wake yourself up. Though, in many cases people do not realize that they snore. Snoring can also cause you to have a dry mouth when you wake up.
Light snoring may not disrupt your overall sleep quality. Heavy snoring may be connected with a risk factor in the heart disease, stroke and many other health problems. So never take it lightly.
【1】Why do some people snore during their sleep?
A. Because there is something wrong with their throat.
B. Because noises are made when they breathe out.
C. Because the tissue in their throat is vibrating.
D. Because they use their mouth and nose to breathe meanwhile.
【2】What can we conclude from the third paragraph?
A. Men suffer much more because of their snoring.
B. Women are easier to become habitual snorers.
C. Snoring may have something to do with genes.
D. The older you turn, the more seriously you snore.
【3】In which part of a website can we read the passage?
A. Sports. B. Education.
C. Culture. D. Science.
22、“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? Theanswer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
【1】The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to .
A. introduce a topic B. present an argument
C. describe the characters D. clarify his writing purpose
【2】Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can .
A. provide students with written rules
B. help people watch their own behaviors
C. force schools to improve student handbooks
D. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors
【3】What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Never become a gossiper
B. Stay away from gossipers
C. Don’t let gossip turn into lies
D. Think twice before you gossip.
23、When I was a kid，we farmed 200 acres with mules (骡子), and the most naughty one was Robe. It’d frequently jump out and run off. But when asked why he liked it, Dad would say, “When it comes to farm work, Tobe comes up to standards (标准).”
Dad died when I was 11, and we had to sell the farm. Those were hard years, but Mom managed to give me my first music lesson. Before long our neighbors liked my songs so much that I decided to make a career of singing.
At 17 I left home for the radio station in Jackson and discovered how inexperienced I was. I made up my mind that I would practice until I came up to standards. I took u job as a driver. Given 25 cents a run, I could spend the rest of the time practicing. Finally, when I was good enough, I began playing for audiences nationwide.
By now, though, we had two kids and I knew what a family was without a dad, so I quit the performance and entered the most depressing years of my life with all the clothing, homework, and duties wound the house. That was when I thought about Tobe. It was self-willed, but in the field, where it mattered, Tobe came up to standards. So I started doing some listening and made a discovery. My kids’ lifestyle may be different. But where standards are concerned--for things like honesty and courage-they often do better than some of us.
Not long ago Dick told me he was going lo apply for a job at a TV station. “I know the general manager. I’ll put in a good word,” I said. “I’d rather go alone,” he replied. “If I’m not good enough yet to do the job, I shouldn’t get it.”
Then I realized he wanted to be up to standards. I felt proud the minute he came home shouting, “Dad, I got the job!”

B．At the age of 17
C．After he quit performing
D．After he worked as a driver.
【3】What did the author discover about his kids?
A．They led a healthy lifestyle.

C．They had their own shining points.
D．They were concerned about standards.
【4】How did Dick react to the author’s offering to help him get the job?

24、 Eleven years ago, Michael J. Baines moved from his home in Sweden to Chonburi in northern Thailand. Michael is a chef, but he quickly learned that the stray dogs(流浪犬) and cats in his new town needed to be fed even more than the human residents. He simply couldn't stand by and watch dozens of abandoned animals starve on the streets. “I feel sad for homeless dogs and want to help them all,” he said. “Especially when I see a lonely dog that does not belong to any pack, probably dumped, which is very common here. I always have food and fresh water in my car, so whenever I see a dog, I stop and give it food and water.”
Over the course of five years，Michael began feeding about 80 stray dogs each and every day. He quickly became known as “the man that feeds dogs,” as he provided sick, malnourished(营养不良的) animals with food, water, and medical care. He paid for all of this out of his own pocket, spending upwards of $ 1,500 a month and finding homes for 30- 40 dogs !
Eventually, The Man That Rescues Dogs became a nonprofit(非盈利) organization, and was run entirely through donations and volunteers. Over a decade later, Michael has rescued more than 2, 000 dogs! Many of these animals were badly injured and left for dead, so his team nursed them back to health. The shelter currently has 30 people on staff as well as an army of volunteers, and they’re all dedicated to saving as many abandoned animals as they can. They currently care for about 600 dogs every day, specializing in paralyzed or disabled dogs who require wheelchairs or walkers to get around.
The pictures that the shelter shares on social media are breathtaking. So many of these animals were found broken, yet Michael and his team managed to turn them into healthy, happy little ones ready to start their new life in a forever home !
【1】What did Michael do when seeing homeless dogs?
A．He turned to residents for help.
B．He stood by and watched them.

A．Michael became famous because of his kindness.
B．Michael took some sick and weak dogs home.
C．Michael spent all his savings to rescue the dogs.
D．Michael had to give up his work to feed stray dogs.
【3】How did Michael expand the rescue of stray dogs?
