21、 From quiet paths by a stream in a forest to busy roads running through a city, people have created various forms of routes in different places. These now exist all around us, and their use is imperative for societies. These routes have enabled people to move, transport things, and send information from one place to another quickly and safely. Throughout history, they have been important in our daily lives.
Early routes were often formed naturally on land. They gradually developed over long periods of time while people traveled them on foot or horseback. A significant turning point in their history arrived when the first wheeled carts appeared in ancient times. Once this happened, people recognized the importance of well-maintained routes. Therefore, towns, cities, and entire countries improved them. As a result, life became more convenient, communities grew, economies evolved, and cultures expanded.
People have established routes on water, too. Rivers and canals have served as effective routes for people to move around and carry things. For instance, in the old, Japanese city of Edo, water routes were used for the transportation of agricultural products, seafood, and wood. People have also opened routes across the sea. The seaways were critical for the navigation of ships, particularly in the days when they moved mainly by wind power. Using these sea routes, people could travel great distances, and go to places they had not previously been able to reach.
People have gone on to open routes in the sky as well. Since the invention of the airplane, they have made it possible to travel long distances easily. Eventually, people became able to travel safely and comfortably high in the sky, and going vast distances only took a small amount of time.
Today, we have a new type of route, the Internet. By using this worldwide route, people can easily obtain information that once was available mainly from books and face-to-face communication. They can also instantly send messages to large numbers of people all at once.
As long as there have been people, there have been routes to connect them. Currently unknown routes will surely take us even further in the future.
【1】Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word imperative in paragraph 1?
A.accidental B.industrial
C.essential D.traditional
【2】Why is the example of Edo introduced in paragraph 3?
A.To describe the difficulty of creating routes on the water.
B.To emphasize the fact that it was an important city.
C.To explain the use of water routes to move along the coastlines.
D.To illustrate the important roles of water routes for cities.
【3】What does paragraph 5 tell us about routes?
A.Routes can be thought of as existing invisibly in the world.
B.Routes that move information can be regarded as dangerous.
C.The fundamental functions of routes are declining.
D.The importance of different kinds of routes is the same.
【4】What is the main idea of this article?
A.Humankind first created various types of convenient routes on land.
B.Improvements in transportation have come at great cost.
C.Technology has interfered with opening up routes around the world.
D.The advancement of humanity was aided by the development of routes.

23、Want to find out how you can learn a new language as fast as possible? If you commit to your new language, study hard, and have an open mind about making mistakes, you can go from basic conversational skills to fluency. 【1】
Pronunciation is the key to being understood by native speakers. There’s no point in memorizing hundreds of words and phrases if you pronounce them so oddly that they can’t be understood. 【2】
Hands down, the best way to learn a new language is to speak it. Too often, people spend all of their time studying grammar and memorizing lists of words instead of actually going out there and putting what they’ve learned into practice. 【3】Therefore, try to find a friend or colleague who speaks the language you wish to learn and who’d be willing to sit down with you and help you practice.
【4】 Mastering basic vocabulary is probably one of the most important things you can do when learning a new language. Even if you can’t understand whole sentences, the ability to pick out keywords can help you to understand the general meaning of a speech or text.
Be willing to make mistakes. 【5】You’re bound to get yourself in a few embarrassing situations, but what’s the big deal? The native speakers might find it fun, but they’ll still appreciate the effort you’re making and be willing to help you out.
A．Study smarter, not harder.
B．The following tips can help you learn a new language fast.
C．Knowing a few keywords can help you grasp what someone is saying.
D．So it’s important for you to learn the pronunciation while learning a word.
E．Speaking with a person is better than staring at a book or computer screen.
F．You’ll learn better if you’re okay with making mistakes and learning from them.
G．If you are up for a challenge, memorize all the numbers up to one hundred in one day.
24、 On winter, a fisherman — Jim Savage — was braving the freezing temperatures when he noticed a baby dolphin struggling to free herself from another fisherman’s traps — the netting. Jim spoke to her and she calmed down as he cut her free from the line. Seeing she was too tired to swim away, he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin, named her Winter and took her back to the center to get treatment.
Winter was placed in a holding tank and the team put a feeding tube in her throat. Soon, though, Winter learned how to eat from a bottle. But the line wrapping around Winter’s tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece. Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump (残肢). Though Winter did eventually start to swim, she taught herself an entirely original way — to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.
She learned very well and learned how to trust and love the people who cared for her. And she made a new non-human friend — Panama, another rescued dolphin. The two became lifelong friends, completely inseparable.
But her trainers were worried, her original moving way prevented her from growing properly. Then Kevin Carroll, a dolphin lover and maker of prosthetic limbs (假肢) for people, stepped in. With a team of experts, vets, and trainers, Kevin developed a new tail for Winter. Winter was retrained to use the device (装置) to swim properly, but with lots of hard work she did it!
Word about the disabled dolphin got it and everyone could relate to the dolphin. Now she seems to connect with everyone - from adults with prostheses to a little girl who didn’t want to wear her hearing aid until she met Winter.
【1】What made Winter calm down?
A.The netting.
B.Jim’s words.
C.The rescue team.
D.The new tail.
【2】Why did Jim phone the Wildlife Conservation Commission?
A.To cure the baby dolphin.
B.To deal with the fishing net.
C.To rescue the other fisherman.
D.To look at the baby dolphin.
【3】What made the trainers worried?
A.Winter’s relationship with Panama.
B.Winter’s popularity with visitors.
C.The effect of the damage on Winter.
D.Winter’s moving style like other dolphins.
【4】How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A.It’s beautiful.
B.It’s controversial.
C.It’s humorous.
D.It’s discouraging.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,’’ she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words “Paid in full with a glass of milk. (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly” and tears of joy flooded her eyes. Love spread through human hearts and hands.
