21、Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.【1】 It’s particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, “the brain creates neural(神经)pathways” that make us smarter. 【2】 The more we learn, the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged.【4】 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from other, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?
【5】 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and ach.
A．It’s never too old to learn.
B．Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.
C．You should set a high learning target.
D．Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E．Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.
F．In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.
G．However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic, and self-fulfilled.
22、People have long called college the “great equalizer,” meaning it gives students from all backgrounds the same opportunities or similar chances for success. A study announced in February 2017 supports this idea.
The findings may not come as a surprise to some. For example, it showed a degree from an “Ivy League” or another highly selective school helps students from low income families a great deal. Ivy League is a term for eight private universities in the northeastern United States. Many people consider them to be among the best for higher education in the world.
The study found that about 60 percent of the lowest income students at lvy League schools earned as much as students from the highest income families later in life. But the high cost and strong competition to attend one of these schools can be a barrier (障碍) for many students.
What may be more interesting is what less widely known colleges can do. The study identified 10 less selective universities that also helped large numbers of students escape poverty. This proves that any given college can be a tool for success.
However, there are other things to consider. The study notes that Ivy League and other top schools are less likely to admit students from low-income families. On average, a young person from the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of these schools than someone from the lowest income background.
Also, while a college education may help almost everyone, higher income students still have an advantage. The students born into the highest income families still earned at least two percent more after college than anyone else. This is because people from wealthier families have more connections that can help their children.
【1】What finding attracts the author’s more attention?
A．Non-famous schools also benefit students.
B．t is quite competitive to enter famous schools.
C．College education has great effects on students.
D．Ordinary schools do better than well-known ones.
【2】What is unfairness of the lvy League and other top schools?
A．They bring too much stress on students.
B．They charge too much for education.
C．They look down upon poor students.
D．They offer more chances to the rich.
【3】What factor mentioned in the text can affect a student’s income?
A．College major courses.
B．Different universities.
C．Family background.
D．Records of study.
【4】What is the best title of this text?
A．You Don’t have to Choose the Most Famous Schools
B．Does a College Education Help All People Equally?
C．Is College Education a Must For Poor Students?
D．Well-Known Universities Help You Succeed
23、 Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you’re back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it’s also a lot more. It’s taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
【1】The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A.unknown. B.uncertain.
C.unexpected. D.unusual.
【2】According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that .
A.they both cause financial trouble and pain.
B.they are both hard as well as rewarding.
C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.
D.both of them need many preparations.
【3】By saying “I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5, the author means that_ .
A.she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B.she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.
C.she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D.she has succeeded in escaping kids’ fighting thanks to the armor.
【4】From the author’s experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that .
A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.
B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.
C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.
D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.
24、I spent most my twenties working for the National Park Service, and I lived a wide variety of government housing, including several shabby but appealing old houses where the wild creatures outnumbered humans. Sometimes I wondered, lying awake at night, how many hearts beat inside those walls. With all that lovely national park habitat protected for their use, why did the animals need to live in my house?
My latest essay “The indoor wilds at outdoor parks,” revisits my experiences with wild (non-human!) roommates and officemates in Rocky Mountain National Park. At first, they were considered annoying but not dangerous. Attitudes changed dramatically when hantavirus (汉他病毒) came on the scene, and suddenly those cute, non-housebroken deer mice became a threat. When I moved on to Canyonlands National Park, I found that every effort had been made to seal off my house from four-footed intruders. These efforts mostly worked and later employees moved into new housing. But somehow a rat still managed to chew its way through the floor and drown itself in my toilet. I’m not even going to get started about my coworkers, experiences with other much scarier animals.
The Beaver Meadows Vistor Center in the story was designed by Tailiesin Associated Architects, Frank Lloyed Wright’s firm, after Wright’s death. Working there, I always thought the building was strange. I recently revisited the building while researching a children’s book I am writing about the park. I think I get it now, at least a little.
【1】What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Some park visitors’. B. Endangered animals’.
C. The author’s coworkers’. D. The author’s wild roommates’.
【2】Why did people show a change in attitude towards deer mice?
A. Because a virus was spreading. B. Because people were hurt by them.
C. Because people saw a really cute one. D. Because they protected people’s houses.
【3】What can we infer about the living conditions of the author’s coworkers?
A. They were unknown to the author. B. They were acceptable to the author.
C. They were no better than the author’s. D. They were much better than the author’s.
【4】After visiting the Beaver Meadows Vistor Center again, the author ________.
A. could appreciate it better B. finished a children’s book
C. did research on national parks D. knew it was designed by Wright
