21、The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2000, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world- Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can take out and put in books. Little Free Maries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults or tour guides.
In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said.
Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little FreeLibrary, org, there are now 18, 000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries, But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. "A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading: a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life, "says the Atlantic article, "Every book is a potential source of inspiration”.
【1】What was Bol’s purpose of building Little Free Library?
A. To help people in the community communicate often.
B. To make reading books spread around the world.
C. To help neighbors develop the habit of building libraries.
D. To give his mother a birthday Present.
【2】How do Little Free Libraries get their books?
A. The communities bought them B. US government provided them.
C. Tod Bol donated them D. Local people shared them
【3】What do we know about Little Free Library?
A. calls for people to write more books.
B. It was built up with the help of the Internet.
C. It offers people different kinds of books to read.
D. It needs big rooms to place many books in.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A. Little Tree Library has replaced the e-book.
B. Little Free Library can make much difference to people.
C. Tod Bol developed Little Free Library on his own.
D. Tod Bol earned much money through Little Free Library
22、One of the many great lines in the movie Apollo 13 came from Ed Harris, who played NASA Director of Operations, Gene Kranz. The famous line was, “Gentleman, failure is not an option.” He said the words because he had a clear purpose that the three astronauts trapped in space must be sent home safely. The driving force behind their seeking of a solution was motivated by a true purpose.
Here is the simple principle. If you have a big enough ‘why’ in life, you will always figure out the ‘how.’ A person without a purpose in life is like a boat without a rudder, floating aimlessly without a direction and going nowhere. In all walks of life, when referring to someone’s success, we often hear the words “focus and determination”. But Merriam Webster defines the word “purpose” as the reason why something is done, a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome. There are many talented and intelligent people in the world that are unsuccessful because they lack direction. I believe that our life depends on our purpose. Whether you’re single or in a team, having a purpose allows you to start, evaluate, and improve your talents or abilities helps you find your path in life and achieve your success finally.
A friend of mine once told me that the most motivating speech he had ever heard was just three short words. It came from his wife when she said, “Honey I’m pregnant.” He said those few words instantly motivated him because he now had a big “why” in his life, a purpose to work hard to support his family. In fact, when your “why” gets bigger, you get better because you stop holding back and you’ll go all out. It’s why you often hear about some great people perform superhuman actions when failure is not an option!
【1】What does the underlined word “rudder” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Something that gets the boat started
B. Something that makes the boat float
C. The reason for which the boat is built
D. Something that directs the boat to a certain place.
【2】What is the most important thing for success according to Merriam Webster?
A. Talent B. Purpose
C. Determination D. Intelligence
【3】The author gives his friend’s example to show________.
A. why words can motivate people easily
B. that family love is very important in our daily life
C. that a purpose can make people try their best
D. how people can get success more easily
【4】What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. To be successful person B. To have a big “Why” in life
C. To make a right choice D. To get rid of failure
23、 When a special occasion arrives, a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep (门口), an office desk or a mailbox. But once in a while, a present arrives at an unexpected moment to remind us that someone is thinking about us.
Wanda Anderson of Richland, US, remembers such a gift.
The rosebushes were finally in full bloom (盛开) on that day in spring. Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories. To this young girl, those flowers were extra special. “We never had money to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.
Nowadays, to have a garden filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment. Wanda especially loves the very first blooms. Her husband, Dale, knows this little fact about his wife. So, on this special morning, he picked the very first flowers of spring, fresh from the garden. But as Dale came back into the house, he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale handed the roses to her and repeatedly told her that the flowers were hers to keep.
“I told her I was happy for her to have the roses, but I really wasn’t,” Wanda said. Seeing her very precious first blooms go out of the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness. Throughout the rest of the morning, Wanda argued with herself； knowing it was “better to give than to receive.” However, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.
Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car. Then, without warning, an older woman suddenly appeared at the car’s open window, with a bunch of roses in her arms. “These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.” Totally surprised, Wanda thanked the woman and took a moment to smell the roses’ rich fragrance (香气). When she looked up, the mysterious visitor was gone.
To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda. Now, her very first blooms always go to someone else.
【1】Why does Wanda cherish roses so much?
A．She thinks that they stand for pure love.
B．She often received them as a child.
C．Her husband always sends her roses.
D．She couldn’t afford them when she was young.
【2】How did Wanda feel after the neighbor left?
A．Worried.
B．Upset.
C．Satisfied.
D．Relieved.
【3】What changed Wanda’s opinion of giving gifts?
A．The flowers her husband picked for her.
B．The gifts her neighbor gave back to her.
C．The roses she received from a stranger.
D．A mysterious delivery she got from the post office.
【4】Why does Wanda always give away her roses to others now?
A．To express that she’s thinking of them.
B．To prove that she isn’t selfish.
C．To surprise people who she loves.
D．To show off her beautiful flowers.
24、When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is”. Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
【1】According to the passage, winners________.
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather that others
【2】The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. avoid B. accept
C. improve D. consider
【3】When your colleague brings about a problem, you should________.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
【4】When problems occur, winners take them as________.
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
25、Science may never know the secrets to memories of the California sea hare, a foot-long sea snail. But a research team claim to have made progress in _______ the simplest kind of memory a mollusk (软体动物) might form, and, with a swift injection, managed to _______ one sea snail’s memory to another.
The kinds of memories that start a defensive reaction in the snails are encoded not in the _______between brain cells, but in RNA molecules (分子), according to David Glanzman, a biologist at UCLA. To _______ the idea, Glanzman implanted wires into the tails of California sea hares and gave them a series of electric shocks. The procedure made the animals so _______ that when they were touched, they contracted parts of their bodies intensely. Glanzman compares the reaction to being nervous after an earthquake: the memory of the event causes a(n) _______ response to any loud noise. After sensitizing the sea snails, Glanzman took RNA out from them and _______ it into new sea snails to see what would happen. He then found the new ones are _______ sensitized, suggesting the “memory” of the electrical shocks had been transplanted. According to Glanzman and his research team, the experiment shows that _______ parts of the memory trace are held in RNA, rather than in the connectivity of brain cells.
However, the work has not yet found widespread ________. “Further work needs to be carried out to determine whether these phenomena are obvious and what is the ________ of such phenomena,” said Prof Vann at Cardiff University. “While a sea snail is a fantastic model, we must be very ________ in drawing comparisons to human memory processes, which are much more complex.”
Tomás Ryan at Trinity College Dublin, is ________. “This work takes us down an interesting road, but I have doubt about it and I don’t think they’ve transplanted a memory,” he said. “This work tells me that maybe the most basic behavioral responses involve some kind of change in the animal.”
________, Ryan added that such creative thinking about memory was in great need: “In a field full of acceptance but lacking ________, we need as many new ideas as possible.”
