21、Around 126, 000 gallons of oil have spilled into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Orange County. The oil spill covers about 34 square kilometers of ocean.
To find the leak (裂缝、泄漏), many divers explored underwater. They found a break in a 28-kilometer pipeline (输油管道) that delivers oil off the California coast. Amplify Energy Corp. (AEC) is the oil company that owns the pipeline. It shut down the pipeline on Saturday, but experts say the company should have noticed a change in the pipeline’s pressure much sooner. The leaking pipeline is over 40 years old, even though such pipelines are normally only used for about 25 years.
Locals have said that even though the spill began on Friday night, little action was taken to contain it until Saturday afternoon. Some visitors to nearby beaches report that there is oil everywhere. Martyn Willsher, who leads Amplify, believes the leak has been stopped. “There is no active leak that we’re aware of,” he said.
Now beaches in the area have been closed, and fishing has been banned in a wide area along the coast. People are being asked to stay away from the beaches, since the oil can be poisonous.
Extra efforts are being made to keep the oil away from protected marshy (沼泽的) areas, along the coast, which are home to special wildlife. At least one of these areas, Talbert Marsh, has already been affected. Workers are trying to help animals that may have been hurt in the spill. It’s still not known exactly how many animals have been affected. But there are reports of dead fish and birds washing up on shore, and of dolphins swimming through the oily waters in the areas.
The US Coast Guard is leading efforts to place floating barriers called “booms” on the water to try to keep the spill from spreading.
【1】What is the experts’ opinion on the oil spill?
A．It’s been a normal phenomenon.
B．It should have been avoided.
C．It has followed an earthquake.
D．It’s happened in a sailing ship.
【2】What do the local people think of what AEC did about the oil spill?
A．Disappointing.
B．Wonderful.
C．Risky.
D．Sincere.
【3】What does the author want to convey in the last three paragraphs?
A．No sea foods are allowed to sell in the market.
B．Visitors come over to help the damaged wildlife.
C．Measures have been taken to reduce the effect.
D．The polluted area is being enlarged at present.
【4】What kind of article is the text?
A．A story.
B．An announcement.
C．An essay.
D．A news report.
22、 Here are some great people and their achievements.
Mary Anderson — windscreen wiper
Back on a freezing winter’s day in 1902, Mary Anderson was travelling by train through New York City. Snow was falling, forcing the driver to stop repeatedly and get out to clear it. Each time the door opened, Mary suffered a gust of sub-zero air. She had an idea: why not make some kind of a rubber blade that could be operated from inside the vehicle? And that’s exactly what she did.
Josephine Cochrane — dishwasher
The dishwasher dates back even earlier to the 19th century, and to the dinner parties thrown by a lady called Josephine Cochrane. As a frequent host, she wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than people. Her response was to develop what was to become the first commercially successful dishwasher. Interestingly, innovation was in her blood: her grandfather had invented the steamboat.
Stephanie Kwolek — Kevlar
Kevlar is the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof vests. The material is used by millions every day and has saved countless lives. The super tough fabric is also used in objects ranging from gloves to airplanes. Incredibly, its strength-to-weight ratio(比强度) is five times higher than steel. Again, it was invented by a woman, the American chemist Stephanie Kwolek, in 1964.
Grace Hopper — first compiler(编译程序)
One of the most important inventions of the 20th century must surely be the computer programme. The world of programming is unbalanced in terms of gender. Men vastly outnumber women, and take home around 30% more pay than their female counterparts on average. But back in the 1940s and 1950s, women were at the forefront of this new field. Grace Hopper is credited with inventing the first compiler in 1952, which serves as the bridge between code and the binary(二进制的) ones and zeros understood by computers.
【1】What do the inventions mentioned in the passage have in common?
A. Their inventors are all females.
B. They were all invented in the 19th century.
C. They were invented for the convenience of the inventors.
D. They were the most important inventions at their times.
【2】What do we know about Josephine Cochrane?
A. She invented the dishwasher as well as the steamboat.
B. She was greatly inspired by her grandfather.
C. It troubled her a lot to wash dishes after parties.
D. She invented the dishwasher at the request of her guests.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Windscreen wipers came out earlier than dishwashers.
B. Mary Anderson’s invention saved countless drivers’ lives.
C. Grace Hopper is a pioneer in computer programme.
D. Kevlar is five times lighter than steel.
23、Some people make art with paint, and others use pencil or clay. But Italian artist Maurizio Savini prefers to use bright pink gum—after it has been chewed.
Savini makes huge sculptures of bears and even people out of used chewing gum. Each sculpture requires thousands of pieces of gum.
“I like to use chewing gum because it seemed to me a material that can be used in many ways compared with those used by the conventional arts such as painting,” Savini says.
How does he do it? The process is a lot like working with clay. “I work the chewing gum when it is warm and shape it with a knife,” says Savini. Then, he puts a chemical onto each gum sculpture to make the gum stay in place.
Savini’s sticky art has been shown in cities like London, Paris, and Rome, where he lives today.
Savini isn’t the only artist to work with gum. His pink sculptures have inspired artists all over the world to get creative with the sticky matter.
London artist Ben Wilson paints small paintings onto flat pieces of chewed gum he finds stuck to streets and sidewalks. In Canada, Jason Kronenwald uses different colored gum to make portraits of famous people.
Kronenwald seldom chews gum himself. Instead, his friends help chew gum for him while he’s working. “At times it can make me disgusted, but I just pay attention to the colors I need and get the sculpture going,” he says.
In America, Jamie Marraccini’s art depends on color, so he tests different kinds of gum before using them. To find out what color the chewed gum will become once hardened, he lets it age for up to six months.
“I’ve created 30 works totaling more than 35,000 pieces of gum,” says Marraccini. That’s a lot of gum!
So think twice the next time you throw away a wad of gum. Maybe what seems like trash could actually be the beginning of a great piece of art.
【1】The underlined word “disgusted” in the eighth paragraph probably means ________.
A. excited B. feel tired and sick
C. unhappy D. energetic
【2】Marraccini stores the gum for six months in order to ______.
A. judge how hard it will be
B. know whether it is still sweet
C. examine what chemicals it contains
D. see what color it will become
【3】 The best title for the passage is ________.
A. Sticky sculptures B. Creative artists
C. A new form of art D. Chewing gum
【4】Savini’s works of art can be seen in all the cities EXCEPT _______.
A. London B. Rome C. New York D. Paris
24、There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans and brothers Karon and Caleh Bradley got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, they could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes, put his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.
“I heard Watson screaming ‘Help! And I thought she was done,” Caleh told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a surprise. “Corion had grabbed me.”
All of them were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew (宵禁). But she’s not mad, she told the Post, “He had a good reason.”
【1】Why did the car fall into the river?
A．Because the driver was blind.
B．Because the driver was a teenager.
C．Because the GPS was not accurate.
D．Because the car broke down accidentally.

A．One
B．Two
C．Three
D．Four
【3】Which of the following best describes Corion Evans?
A．Optimistic and honest
B．Skillful and brave
C．Humorous and kind
D．Responsible and creative
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Police Officer Garry Mercer can’t swim.
B．The river that the car fell into is dangerous.
C．Evans and his friends saved the girls together .
D．Marquita was angry about Evan’s breaking his curfew.
