22、Because of the financial crisis in the US and UK, college students are beginning to struggle to find ways to pay their tuition fees and accommodations.

Recently, two major US student loan (贷款) lenders, Citibank and JPMorgan Chase, announced they were leaving the student loan industry altogether. Because banks currently have a lack of credit, they are reluctant to offer students low-interest loans that need a several-year wait for any return of interest.

In the US, many undergraduates fill up their financial needs with a private loan, although the majority can get government-funded loans. In the 2015-2016 academic year, $ 17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education. The lack of private funding has yet to be covered and will hit many US students hard.

Across the Atlantic, UK students have been less troubled by the crisis. Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expenses with government-funded loans and grants. Their biggest concern is a sudden increase in student rent.

Most young professionals now rent houses, since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes (按揭计划) have disappeared—a direct result of the credit crisis. This has boosted the house rent market.

In large cities, UK students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in rent than the previous year. Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as London paying an average weekly rent of $ 203.

Yet, despite students’ suffering, the number of this year’s university applications is expected to grow. During economic slumps, people regard further education as a way to survive tough job market.

【1】What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Forced.   B. Unwilling.

C. Determined.   D. Pleasant.

【2】What is a big challenge to the American students according to the text?

A. A lack of education.

B. The low-interest loan.

C. The short fall in private funding.

D. A lack of government-funded loan.

【3】What are the UK students most concerned about?

A. House rent.

B. Further education.

C. Mortgage schemes.

D. Government-funded loans.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A. College students in the US and UK are faced with their financial crisis

B. It is the duty for the governments to solve college students’ financial crisis

C. Further education is a good way for college students to survive tough job market

D. The private student loan is a good way for college students to overcome the difficulties

23、   It looked to all the world like something that might have graced the cover of a 1950s comic book. On September 28th, on a warm Texas evening, Elon Musk, the boss of SpaceX, a rocketry firm, introduced his company's newest machine, Starship Mkl. It stands 50 metres tall and is made from shiny plates of stainless steel. Despite its name, it is not in fact an interstellar （恒星之间的） spacecraft. But it is a prototype （雏形）of an interplanetary one. Mr Musk hopes, one day, to use its successors to ferry passengers to the Moon or to Mars — or perhaps even, according to one piece of SpaceX concept art, all the way to Saturn （土星）.

In the 17 years since its founding, SpaceX’s cheap, reusable machines have revolutionised the rocket business. The firm's ukra-low prices have seen it seized a dominant share of the commercial satellite-launching market. Along with Boeing, an American aerospace giant, SpaceX is responsible for ferrying supplies to the International Space Station, It may soon fly astronauts there as well. But all of this commercial success is merely a necessary first step in Mr Musk’ bigger plan, which is to make humanity into a "niultiplanetary species" by establishing colonies in the universe.

That is where the Starship comes in. The prototype on display in Texas is only one half of an enormous rocket stack designed with planetary colonisation in mind. When paired with a Falcon Super Heavy booster （助推火箭），which is also being developed, the result should be able of lifting around 150 tonnes into orbit. That would make it the most powerful rocket ever built, superior to the Saturn V, which sent astronauts to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s. And unlike the Saturn V, whose three stages were abandoned to the sea or to space as their fuel was used up, the Starship and its booster will be reusable which should keep costs down.

It is a bold plan. Mr Musk's shorter-term plans are bold too. Besides designing a new spaceship and booster, SpaceX engineers are busy working on a new. more efficient engine to power them. Called Raptor, it is designed to bum super-cold methane rather than the kerosene that fuels the company's current Merlin engines. The Starship will sport six Raptor engines. But each Super Heavy booster will need somewhere between 24 and 37. The result will be a repairman's nightmare.

Mr Musk has said, perhaps optimistically, that a Starship prototype might be ready for a test flight all the way to orbit (although without its booster stage) within six months. That would be of a piece with its crazy development schedule. The traditional rocket-building industry is used to generous government contracts that are about job creation as much as rocket creation. However, SpaceX has adopted a different approach, closer to the rapid-fire development practices of the software industry.

The Starship prototype, for instance, was put together in a matter of months. It was built out in the open, rather than in a carefully controlled factory environment. The firm has two teams competing against each other to produce the best design,

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Starship Mkl VS Satum V

B.Development of space travel

C.A promising company in the rocket business

D.Starship Mk 1, a new kind of rocket in a sense

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

C.SpaceX is not dependent on the government's contracts to expand its business.

D.Starship Mkl beats Satum V in that it is recyclable, cost-saving and more powerful.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Repairmen hate working with a powerful rocket.

B.The special fuel is in great demand and not always available.

C.Ifs no easy job to equip the rocket with the engines needed.

D.Too many engines may bring about great trouble once going wrong.

24、Why did Christopher Columbus, who never set foot on North America, get a national holiday in his name? This is in sharp contrast to Juan Ponce de Leon (who arrived in Florida in 1513), Alonso Alvarez de Pineda (whose ships arrived in what’s now known as Corpus Christi Bay in Texas in 1519) and Giovanni da Verrazzano, who reached New York Harbor in 1524.

Actually, until the mid-1700s, Christopher Columbus was not widely known among most Americans. It started to change in the 1820s when Italian immigrants began moving to the United States in sizable numbers in search of opportunity and a better life. But the new arrivals were not welcomed by all. They were often described as short in size, dark in skin, cruel and too emotional.

These anti-Italian feelings led to one of the largest mass killings in New Orleans in 1891, when 11 Italian immigrants were hanged without trial after police chief David Hennessy, known for his arrests of Italian Americans, was killed. The cruel killing angered Italy, which threatened to cut off diplomatic relations with the US. In an attempt to please Italian government and acknowledge the contributions of Italian Americans on the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in South America, President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 declared a nationwide celebration of “Discovery Day”, recognizing Columbus as “the pioneer of progress”. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made it a national holiday, and in 1971 Congress changed the date from October 12 to the second Monday of October. The first state to officially observe Columbus Day was Colorado in 1906.

However, not every state was happy about the national holiday honoring Columbus. Three states with significant native populations—Hawaii, Alaska and South Dakota—do not observe the day at all. In 1990, South Dakota decided to celebrate “Native American Day” instead In Hawaii the state chose to celebrate “Discoverers’ Day”, The city of Berkeley in California was the first to declare in 1992 that it would be celebrating “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” on the same day when the rest of the country would be celebrating Columbus.

【1】Who is the first man to arrive in North America?

D．Giovanni da Verrazzano.

【2】What can we learn from the text?

B．Discovery Day is welcomed by the native Americans.

C．Discoverers’ Day is celebrated in every state in the US.

D．Columbus arrived in the US on the second Monday of October.

【3】In which state was Indigenous Peoples’ Day first celebrated?

B．Colorado.

C．California.

D．Alaska.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Origins of Different American Holidays

B．How Did Columbus Sail Into the US Holidays?

C．What Is the So-called Indigenous Peoples’ Day?

D．A Brief Introduction to Italian Immigrants in the US

26、Children in kindergarten are learning social skills. For this reason, it’s important to tell the children what will make them become good citizens when they grow up. It’s up to parents, teachers and all others involved with a kid to teach these skills.

Teaching kids to pick up things by themselves is a good way to teach them not to throw things on the ground. For example, if a class has to make paper cutouts (剪下的图样), after cutting, have the children pick up the wastepaper and place it in the wastebasket.

The golden rule of good citizenship should be taught at this age. The rule is “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”. Teachers should ask their students how they want to be treated. There are many answers, such as not being treated in bad manners. The teacher should explain that others don’t like to be scared, so you should not scare others either.

Following the laws is good citizenship. Proper games can be played in the classroom. Games have rules, and all students in the class should follow the rules of the games. If a child doesn’t want to follow, it is up to the teacher to explain them to the child. Teaching children about following rules should help them understand the need to obey the law when they become adults.
