21、To bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Games. But because they didn’t have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, when they arrived, not all of the competitors were prepared. One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani. When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, he’d only been training for the 100-meter freestyle for about eight months. He’d also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters. Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.
The three wild-card athletes were given their own race, and Moussambani was next to the other two swimmers from Niger and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to begin the game, both of Moussambani’s competitors were disqualified for false starts. Left to swim by himself, Moussambani dove in and dog paddled, breathing for air and moving his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked so serious that the audience seriously worried he was drowning.
When Moussambani finally passed the finish line and pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 - more than twice that of swimmers in the previous race. But Moussambani couldn’t have been happier. He told reporters, “I’ m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal success.”
Moussambani’s courage and determination made him an Olympic celebrity (名人). He kept training for the 2004 Games and even got his time down to a respectable 57 seconds.
【1】What can we infer about “wild card” athletes?
A．They arrive late.
B．They are well-prepared.
C．They are the best athletes.
D．They are from developing countries.
【2】How did Moussambani do in the race?
A．He lost in the race.
B．He swam unskillfully.
C．He failed at the beginning.
D．He disappointed everyone.
【3】How did Moussambani feel after finishing the race?
A．Extremely excited.
B．Quite ashamed.
C．Very disappointed.
D．Pretty calm.
【4】Which words can best describe Moussambani?
A．Smart and flexible.
B．Patient and careful.
C．Brave and determined.
D．Optimistic and modest.
22、Going through social media can quickly convince you that everyone's life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on Instagram some months ago, I saw waterskiing in Maui, and swimming with wild pigs in the Bahamas. Wild pigs! I started googling flights to new places, imagining adventures. Then I ordered food from the place I eat at every week and ... felt bad about not trying somewhere new.
Recent research about repeat and novel experiences suggests that we ought to reconsider those negative feelings associated with repetition. Ed O'Brien, a professor at the University of Chicago, launched a series of studies on this topic, “There's a general belief that if you want to seem like an interesting, cultured person, the best thing you can do is to showcase that you're open to new experiences," he says. "That may be true, but I think we take for granted the value of really digging deep into one field.”
To test this hypothesis （假设），O'Brien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus （刺激）, including museum visits, movies, and video games. Next, some people were asked to imagine repeating the experience, while others actually did repeat what they had done. The researchers found that on the whole, participants said that repeating experiences was often far more enjoyable than they had predicted.
There is joy in repetition partly because every human mind wanders. Consequently, we miss a good part of every experience. Repeating things can really be seen as another opportunity to actually experience something fully. O'Brien's studies show that people are too quick to assume that they've seen all the layers even in those cases where they haven't. It's safe to assume there are more explorable layers in any experience. When we're noticing new things in any experience, our brain becomes engaged. All we need to do is approach whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that we didn't see in it the first time around.
【1】Why does the author mention his experiences in Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the bad feelings linked to repetition.
B．To show novel experiences are more interesting.
C．To tell us a common belief about social media.
D．To present to us his new, imagined adventures.
【2】What did O'Brien's studies find?
A．People were open to new experiences.
B．Imagination was exciting on the whole.
C．Repeating experiences made one bored.
D．Digging deep into one field was enjoyable.
【3】How can we keep our brain engaged?
A．By assuming we didn't see all at first.
B．By searching for the ignored elements.
C．By approaching whatever task is at hand.
D．By keeping focused on every experience.
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A．Novel Experiences Enrich Us
B．More Layers Keep the Mind Busy
C．Repetition Makes People Happy
D．Wandering Minds Help One Explore
23、It was Thanksgiving Day, and I was trying to focus on preparing the dinner. However, in my mind, I was counting dollars more than my blessings. With the commercials for the latest toys to the market—just in time for Christmas—I wondered what my girls would be wishing for. As their mom, I just wanted to see the joy on their faces as they opened at least one gift from under the tree.
Oh, the tree. That was another expense. My thoughts quickly shifted back to the task at hand—finalizing the cooking and getting packed up to make the trip to my sister’s house in a neighboring town.
On the way, we passed a wooden country church. A truck fully loaded with Christmas trees approached in the opposite direction. The truck seemed to be faster than the speed limit on that rural path. “Look at that! A tree fell off!” my husband shouted. Sure enough, a beautiful, perfectly shaped Christmas tree lay in the road.
My husband pulled our truck aside and got out to remove the tree for the safety of other drivers. From the back seat, the kids begged to keep it. I explained to them that the man may have worked hard to cut the trees, and perhaps the money he got was to be used to buy Christmas presents for his family. My husband, on the other hand, was willing to compromise (折中). If the tree was still there when we returned, it was meant to be ours.
We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. As the sun was setting, we headed home. The kids were tired but not too tired to remember the deal they had made with their dad. I truly didn’t believe the tree would still be there. But I secretly prayed it would still be there. And it was! It was meant to be our tree!
Some people would say it was a series of coincidences. But I choose to believe it was a special gift that was shared with us from above. It was the perfect size for us, and free, but the way it came to us during a season when we believe in miracles is what we’ll treasure above all else.
【1】What was on the author’s mind while preparing dinner?
A．What to buy for Thanksgiving Day.
B．What to choose from the latest toys.
C．How to avoid the influence of commercials.
D．How to celebrate Christmas on a tight budget.
【2】What was the author’s initial idea about the fallen Christmas tree?
A．It suited the kids fine.
B．It was a gift from above.
C．It should be removed to the road side.
D．It shouldn’t be kept in their possession.
【3】Which of the following best describes the author?
A．Greedy.
B．Grateful
C．Sensitive.
D．Generous.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．The Miracle Tree
B．The Thanksgiving Dinner
C．A Careless Driver
D．A Loving Family
24、Katie always wanted to be a performer. She, the youngest of the three kids from Cleveland, was crazy about musicals and Disney movies from an early age and would often watch them singing with her mom, Karen. However, Katie’s happy childhood took a turn when her mother was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. When the doctor informed the family that Karen’s disease was terminal, they decided to make a trip to Disney World.
The family spared no expense for their once-in-a-lifetime vacation and stayed at Disney’s hotel for eight nights. They spent their days in the parks, seeing the sights, greeting characters, all the while pushing Karen in her wheelchair and watching her face light up with joy. They all shared in the merriment of experiencing the parks for the first time with Karen. The trip to Disney World at the height of Karen’s battle with cancer allowed them to escape into a world of magic and laughter. This was the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney.
Sadly, Karen lost the battle and died later, but the whole family remembered her every day and often thought of that Disney vacation. Katie went on to go after her dream. After she received her degree in musical theater, she struggled for years, working as a waitress and trying to be a performer. Her hard work finally paid off when she was hired to work for Disney.
As a Disney performer, Katie is aware that many other families visit the parks and have similar stories to her own. She encourages everyone, especially children, who may be experiencing a hard time. “Every moment is meant for you, even the painful ones,” she says. “It’s just like in your favorite Disney movie: There is always some kind of conflict or hardship or pressure. Remember to celebrate those moments, too, because they are taking you to whatever your version of a happy ending is.”
