21、Many people view life as a pyramid with those on the bottom serving those above them. They envy the people at the top, believing joy and happiness is obtained by being served. 【1】They passionately seek the top of the world's imaginary pyramid. They reach desperately for the money, fame or power that would seat them higher. Unluckily, they often don't realize their pursuits are misplaced until they have sacrificed many good gifts and simple joys along the way.
【2】We can live lives of less stress and less anxiety. We begin to feel more fulfilled and more alive. Living for others ends our need for a social rank. It becomes a great weight off our shoulders when we no longer seek power over others. Real joy is found not in being served, but in choosing to serve.
And experiencing this unexpected happiness and freedom is not as hard as some people think:
1.Open your eyes to the needs around you.【3】They are in your home, your neighborhood, and your workplace. The first, most important step is to simply notice them.
2.【4】Service to others costs something — sometimes money, sometimes time, sometimes reputation, and almost always energy. See the price, pay it anyway, and enjoy the return on investment.
3.Do not expect something in return. Remove what's-in-it-for-me question that motivates so many people today.【5】 And you will be repaid with joy and fulfillment in countless other ways.
A．Joyfully pay the price.
B．They decide to give in.
C．So they make every effort.
D．Many people enjoyed being served.
E．Help with no expectation of repayment.
F．People who need your help exist all around you.
G．We can say no to modern culture's games of promotion.
22、When Carlos Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native American language, Catawba.
Anyone who wants to hear different songs of the Catawba tribe can get in touch with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington，D.C.，where，back in the 1940s，Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations. They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language that people used to speak is gone forever.
We all know the damage that modern industry can do to the world's ecology. However, few people know the effect that widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages, as well. As these languages become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increases. When this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few people die out.
Scholars believe there are about 6，000 languages around the world，but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu，located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so like Catawba，Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers. In the Americas, 100 languages also are dying out.
Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the threat of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe，and the language was not his mother tongue. However，he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carolina，where he learned the language. The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone, and the language is dead.
【1】Why did Westez record songs for the Smithsonian Institution?
A．To fight for Native Americans’ rights.
B．To reserve the Catawba language.
C．To make Native American music popular.
D．To help young people learn Catawba songs.
【2】Which of the following led to the disappearance of Catawba?
A．Widely spoken languages.
B．Changes of lifestyles.
C．Population control.
D．Modern industry.
【3】How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By giving examples.
C．By following time order.
D．By making comparisons.
【4】What can we learn about Red Thunder Cloud?
A．He passed away in the 1940s.
B．He was born into the Catawba tribe.
C．He learned Catawba from his mother.
D．He used to visit the Catawba reservation.

24、Litter may be an environmental hazard and eyesore — but for some animals, it provides a home. In a study of local rivers, researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK have found more invertebrates (无脊椎动物) like insects living on litter than on rocks in water.
The researchers studied three local rivers; the River Leen, Black Brook and Saffron Brook, in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. They collected samples (试样) of 50 rocks and 50 pieces of litter from the riverbeds at each site and took them back to the lab for comparison.
There they washed them individually to look for macroinvertebrates and then measured the surface area of each item. They found that the surfaces of the litter were inhabited (居住) by a more diverse group of invertebrates than those found on rocks.
Plastic, metal, fabric, and masonry samples of litter had the highest diversity of inhabitants, while glass and rock were much less diverse than other types of materials. Flexible plastic, like plastic bags, had the most diverse animal communities, causing the researchers to guess that the plastic might be similar to the structure of plants found in water.
“There were five species on litter. Some of these species are normally found on plants in water, which suggests that flexible plastic might be mistaken as those plants,” says lead author Hazel Wilson, a PhD student in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham. “However, we need more investigation to work out for sure which characteristics of litter attract so many animals. This could help us discover methods and materials to replace the litter habitat with alternative and less damaging materials when we conduct river cleanups.”
“While these invertebrates have found a use for plastic bags and other trash, that obviously doesn’t mean that’s a good reason to leave litter in the environment. Our findings highlight the poor environmental quality in some rivers and point to the need for supporting better biodiversity,” says Wilson.
【1】What did the researchers do for their study?
A．They cleaned macroinvertebrates carefully.
B．They threw various types of litter into rivers.
C．They searched the samples for invertebrates.
D．They measured the surfaces of invertebrates.
【2】What is a finding of the study?
A．Litter is less attractive for invertebrates.
B．Litter can support greater biodiversity.
C．It’s easy for animals to survive in rivers.
D．Flexible materials are ignored by animals.
【3】What is Hazel Wilson’s attitude towards leaving litter in rivers?
A．Generally disapproving.
B．Particularly ambiguous.
C．Basically uncaring.
D．Totally positive.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Litter Turns Out Beneficial to the Environment
B．River Animals Need a Cleaner Home to Survive
C．River Cleanups Shouldn’t Include Litter Anymore
D．Litter Creates Habitat for Some Animals in Rivers

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Not all education can and should happen within the classroom. Sometimes, traveling is the best form of education, as students can get a number of personal and educational benefits from travel. From learning about other cultures first-hand to seeing where historical events took place with their own eyes, educational travel gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of art, science, history, and culture in many ways.
Educational becomes a whole new experience when students can see lots of tools and equipment for themselves by traveling to different places. The tools and equipment could be used by scientists decades or even centuries ago to make discoveries that make our modern world possible. Educational travel brings the materials off the pages and into reality, allowing students to connect themselves with them in a more meaningful way.
No matter where students go, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll find some kind of food that is unique to that place or done better than anywhere else. If someone gets Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, they’re going to have a different tasting experience than they would if they were getting the same type of thing in, say, Texas. At the same time, getting chili in Texas would be a whole different experience from getting chili in New York or Chicago. Students can learn a lot about a culture by what they eat on a daily basis and what they consider a special meal, so it’s good to take a taste of the local food and learn through all of the senses.
Being away from family, home, and familiar ground is a courageous and independent adventure in its own right. Educational travel provides that opportunity to allow students to open their minds regarding how they choose to live life, which can be extraordinarily helpful in preparing students for college and adulthood. Traveling – with the combined social skills and perspectives(视角) it teaches – really allows students to better understand how they can operate on their own.
