22、Many years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The Games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able bodied. Perhaps a few more years is still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.
【1】 The first games for the disabled were held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.
A.40 years
B.21 years
C.10 years
D.9 years
【2】This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann .
A. was an early organizer of the games for the able-bodied
B. was welcomed by the British government
C. was an injured soldier
D. was from England
【3】From the passage, we may know that the writer is .
A. one of the organizers of the games for the disabled
B. a disabled person who once took part in the games
C. against holding the games for the disabled
D. in favour of holding the games for the disabled
23、With a 30-year career under her belt as an accomplished head nurse and a veteran (老兵) of the 2003 SARS outbreak, Wang Yuying once again found herself wearing protective clothes for a mission to fight COVID-19 in Wuhan.
Wang Yuying arrived in Wuhan, Hubei Province, on the night of February 1, which was only seven hours after she received the call that she had been assigned to help at the center of the novel coronavirus.
Wang was one of the 135 medical workers dispatched by Peking University First Hospital to help treat seriously ill COVID-19 patients in Wuhan during the height of the outbreak. The day after arriving, Wang started to take care of the patients. Four days later, she was assigned as the head nurse of the medical team from Peking University First Hospital, and their team was asked to start taking care of patients independently within two days.
Despite the heavy work, Wang still paid attention to the psychological condition of both the nurses and patients. She could remember the birthdays of all 100 nurses and she would surprise them with a cake or alter from family. She noticed the signs of worry in the patients. She would talk to them gently and comfort them to create a bond with them. Wang thinks attentive care and psychological nursing also played an important role in treating the COVID-19 patients.
Because of her devotion and focus on both the patients and nurses, her team finished their work with success on April 4. Wang Yuying has been a head nurse for three decades and is one year away from retirement.

24、Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture.
Lowndes County Extension agent (代理人) Joshua Dawson, helped seventh-grade students attending J. L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.
Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, collards, carrots and kale. The harvested (收获的) produce is served by the schools’ dining rooms during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.
Helping Dawson with the gardens are members of the local Master Gardener program. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers more closely than I, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.
At the beginning, the students expressed worries about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh-grader Anthony, who said his favorite subject is science, wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.
Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J. L. Newbern Middle School, said this project has attracted many students. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they apply different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into work-related skills they can apply to jobs in the future,” she said.
【1】What is the purpose of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project?
A.To serve students healthy lunches with home-grown vegetables.
B.To share the latest agricultural information with local farmers.
C.To let students know more about gardening and farming.
D.To build new school gardens in Valdosta.
【2】How do the Master Gardeners support Dawson?
A.By introducing him to Dr. Elena Ponder.
B.By helping him take care of the gardens.
C.By training him in gardening.
D.By raising money for him.
【3】What was the students’ attitude to the project at first?
A.Doubtful.
B.Supportive.
C.Uninterested.
D.Hopeful.
【4】What did Dr. Elena Ponder say about the project?
A.It has changed public opinion on the agricultural industry.
B.It is beneficial to students’ future development.
C.It took up too much of students’ study time.
D.It needs more public attention
25、Stories about the problems of tourism have been numerous in the last few years. Yet it does not have to be a problem. Although tourism inevitably affects the region in which it takes place, the costs to these fragile (脆弱的) environments and their local cultures can be ______. Indeed, as has happened with some Alpine villages,it can even be a(n) ______ for refreshing local cultures.

In the Swiss Alps, communities have decided that their future depends on combining tourism more effectively with the local ______.

Many of the Arctic tourist destinations have been exploited by ______ companies, who employ temporary workers and send most of the profits back to their home base. But some Arctic communities are now operating tour businesses themselves, thereby ensuring that the benefits increase ______. For instance, a native corporation in Alaska, employing local people, is running an air tour from Anchorage to Kotzebue, where tourists eat Arctic food, walk on the lands and watch local musicians and dancers.
Native people in the desert regions of the American Southwest have followed ______ strategies, encouraging tourists to visit their towns and reservations to ______ high-quality handicrafts and artwork. Some have established highly profitable stoneware businesses, while the Navajo and Hopi groups have been similarly ______ with jewelry.
Too many people living in fragile environments have lost control over their economies, their culture and their environment when tourism has spread through their homelands. Merely restricting tourism cannot be the ______ to the imbalance because people’s desire to see new places will not just disappear. ______, communities in fragile environments must achieve greater control over tourism ventures in their regions, in order to ______ their needs and desires with the demands of tourism.
