21、 It's common for some high school students to need the help from a math teacher. For others, numbers come naturally. And then there's Tamar Barabi. The Israeli teenager just invented a new geometric theorem.
Like most discoveries, the moment happened by accident. Tamar handed in her math homework and the teacher said the theory she used to solve the problem didn't actually exist. “She said if I could prove it, it could be my theory. So that's what happened,” Tamar said. With help from her dad, who is also a math teacher, they sent the theorem to experts around the world.
Known as the Three Radii Theorem, or “Tamar's Theorem” for short, it goes as follows: “If three or more equal lines leave a single point and reach the boundary of a circle, the point is the center of the circle and the lines are its radii,” To create the actual theorem, Tamar had to write up three proofs, a series of conclusions and some sample exercises.
“Tamar deserves praise for finding a new twist of stating that a circle has only one center and only one radius,” Professor Ron Livne said. “It's cool to see how Tamar's Theorem can give elegant proofs for other important theorems.”
When she's not coming up with new math theorems, Tamar spends most of her time after school taking ballet lessons. She also plays the guitar and the piano. When asked about her dream, the girl who comes from the same town as supermodel Bar Refaeli, just laughs, “I want to be an actor and a dancer,” she says. For now, the teenager is enjoying the fame this new theory has afforded her.
So did her math teacher give her an A+ for her discovery? “No.” Tamar explained. “I learn in a school where we don't get grades.”
【1】Tamar created the new math theorem when she was _________.
A．having a math lesson
B．meeting some experts
C．doing her math homework
D．discussing math problems with her dad
【2】What does the author mainly intend to do in paragraph 3?
A．Arouse students' interest in math.
B．Explain the theorem in a simple way.
C．Show the application of the theorem.
D．Introduce the background of the theorem.
【3】What does Professor Ron Livne think of Tamar's Theorem?
A．Ordinary.
B．Illogical.
C．Interesting.
D．Wonderful.
【4】What does Tamar want to do in the future?
A．Become a musician.
B．Become a fashion model.
C．Develop a career in acting.
D．Make further research into math.
22、 There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, "I don't sing." But the customer was persistent(执着的). He told the bar manager, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!" The manager shouted across the room, "If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!" So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa. He got lots of applause that night. He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he has become one of the best-known singers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your "talent" is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!
【1】Why did the man start to sing?
A.Because he wanted to make more money.
B.Because the bar manager said he liked his song.
C.Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.
D.Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A.The man didn't get paid at last.
B.The customers were unsatisfied with the song.
C.The man became a singer later.
D.The manager had to lay the man off.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Some people really have no skills or abilities.
B.Sometimes through effort we can know our talents.
C.None of us is as great as the singer.
D.No skills can be improved even if you try your best.

25、Growing Adoption of Green Cleaning
When we clean the bathroom, we’ve got all kinds of stuff to help us out: a cleaning solution that removes dirty marks from the shower walls and something in a squeeze bottle that makes the toilet sparkling clean. When all is done, the room is neat and clean,_____________dirt and bacteria. There’s just one problem—the_________ we used to clean can be harmful to people and the environment. For this reason, many people say that traditional cleaners should be_______and replaced with less harmful “green” products.
The problem_________the fact that some cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that just aren’t healthy for humans, animals, or the planet. Think of the_______coming from a factory and getting into the air. The smoke creates air pollution, which harms the environment and makes us feel ill when we breathe it in.___________, the chemicals in cleaning products pollute the air and can hurt us when we breathe them in or when they get on our skin. However, not all cleaning products are harmful. Green products, which do not contain harsh chemicals, are said to be good_______ because they are effective at cleaning and are safe for people and for the planet.
___________about chemicals has led many states to require schools and government buildings to use environmentally friendly cleaning products instead of products containing poisonous chemicals. Last year, 10 states required the use of green products and at least 5 other states were considering_________in support of these products. A proposed bill would apply to bathroom and floor cleaners, hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and etc.
Many green cleaning products are widely available at prices__________traditional products. In some cases, manufacturers receive green certifications for products they have long had on the market, and the prices of these products remain low. But not everyone shares the view about the
____________of green products. Toilet paper, trash bags and paper towel made from recycled materials can cost up to 20% more than traditional products, said Stephen, director of the Green Cleaning Network.
So,____________of the proposed legislation are concerned about the potentially higher costs for some green products. These critics say that states should not determine which products________ institutes and agencies must buy, especially if they increase costs, since many universities are already struggling financially. Some states have made compromises ( 妥 协 ) to help________ concerns about costs. In Wisconsin, a recent adjustment to the bill would give schools and agencies three years instead of one to begin using green products. It would also________them to quit if they could show that their costs would increase.
