21、Kim Stemple found herself in a Boston hospital being treated for one of several diseases she had been identified with. The normally high-spirited Stemple was naturally getting very depressed. And then a friend who had just finished a half marathon gave her a medal and hoped it would give a positive message. Before she got too sick to exercise, Stemple had been a marathon runner, an experience she’d always miss.
After Stemple hung the medal above her hospital bed, other patients said they wanted medals too. That got Stemple thinking, “A medal can act as a kind of pick-me-up.” And so was born her charity, We Finish Together, which gathers medals from strangers in different fields — runners, dancers, swimmers, and even spelling bee winners — and donates them to sorts of people in need. Receivers have included hospital patients and residents of homeless shelters. Part of the process involves the donor writing a personalized note. “This gives them a connection to someone,” says Stemple.
Can a simple medal really make a difference? “Yes,” says Joan Musarra. “I opened my package containing a new medal and a note of positive, warm thoughts. I was amazed,” she wrote to Stemple. “At that moment, I was sitting on my couch breathing through an oxygen cannula(插管). It seemed that someone was holding my hand.”
“I had the privilege of meeting Kim when in Washington D. C. for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. We chatted about life, sharing stories and of course we talked about her organization,” says Keri, a runner. “Kim talks little about herself and doesn’t want the organization or stories to be about her, but rather, about all the wonderful people involved.”
【1】Why did Stemple feel down?
A．Because she missed the old days.
B．Because she couldn’t attend the marathon.
C．Because she failed to win a medal.
D．Because she was seriously ill in hospital.
【2】What is the purpose of We Finish Together?
A．To raise money for those in need.
B．To catch attention to helpless patients.
C．To lift up people in poor conditions.
D．To collect medals from different fields.
【3】What does the medal mean to Musarra?
A．It encourages her to forget pain.
B．It brings her support and love.
C．It allows her to make more friends.
D．It helps her make a big change.
【4】Which of the following best describes Stemple?
A．Caring and courageous.
B．Dependable and determined.
C．Helpful and modest.
D．Selfless and strong.
22、A new study suggests that 98 percent of Emperor penguin groups may be pushed close to extinction by the year 2100. And about 70 percent of their groups will be in danger by 2050. The research was published in the journal Global Change Biology.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)recently announced a plan to list the Emperor penguins as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Stephanie Jenouvrier , who is a penguin ecologist said that Emperor penguins need secure sea ice to reproduce, to feed and to molt. Molting is the replacement of their old feathers with new ones.
The new study looked at overall warming developments and the increasing likelihood of extreme weather changes because of global warming. The study noted that extremely low levels of sea ice in 2016 led to a large reproduction failure of an Emperor penguin group in Antarctica's Halley Bay. That year, seasonal sea ice broke up before young penguins had time to develop waterproof adult feathers. About 10,000 baby birds drowned, Jenouvrier said. The group did not recover afterwards.
Emperor penguins reproduce only in Antarctica during winter. Temperatures can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius, and wind speeds can reach 144 kilometers per hour. The penguins survive by gathering in groups of several thousand birds. But they cannot survive without enough sea ice.
The U.S. government has listed other species outside the country as threatened, including the polar bear. Polar bears live in Arctic areas and are also threatened by climate change and sea ice loss.
Placing Emperor penguins on the threatened list provides protections, such as a ban against importing them for business purposes. Possible effects on the penguins must also be studied by U.S. sea fisheries currently operating in Antarctica. Martha Williams, principal deputy director of the U.S. FWS said “climate change affects many animal species around the world.” She added, "The decisions made by policymakers today and during the next few decades will determine the fate of the Emperor penguin."
【1】What does the underlined word “likelihood” in Para.3 mean ?
A．Disappearance
B．significance
C．probability
D．barriers
【2】What caused the large reproduction failure of an Emperor penguin group ?
A．Being short of enough sea ice.
B．Lacking adequate food to feed.
C．The Antarctica being extremely cold.
D．Not having waterproof adult feathers.
【3】What can you infer about the Emperor penguin from the passage ?
A．The Emperor penguin will die out by the year 2100.
B．The Emperor penguin can survive by gathering in groups.
C．The future of the Emperor penguin is under complete control.
D．The authority has taken action to protect the Emperor penguin.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text ?
A．Emperor penguins and polar bears are listed as threatened
B．Melting ice threatens Emperor penguins’ environment
C．How Emperor penguins survive in extreme weather conditions
D．Climate change affects many animal species all over the world

24、The name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.
He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.
Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read, "Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way."
While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.
They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The city of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said, "The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it."
"If this doesn’t work we can take action — people can tell us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste."
"We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners."
Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said, "I always clean up after my dog. It’s very irresponsible if you don’t."
"There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer."
"It’s good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference."
【1】What does Pooperman try to do?
A.To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.
B.To advise the local government to protect the environment.

【2】What does the underlined part "rounded on" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Punished. B.Blamed.
C.Laughed at. D.Worried about.
【3】According to the environmental officer, the public can .
A.punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary
