22、Struggling for breath, I felt another wave crash against my body. Desperately attempting to hold onto the sand for my life, at seven years old, I felt completely helpless. Waking up on the shore, I got up and began to clean the sand off me. My parents had been always drilling water safety into me and so I felt I should have known much better. But nearly drowning made me even more of a water baby.
Growing up in South Africa, I have many fond summer memories associated with the water. However, when I moved to the UK in 2013, I realized how much I missed it. As life went on, working full-time in media and advertising, I realized I wanted to do something else.
So much so, in 2016, I decided to train as a swimming teacher. I would work evenings and weekends, but eventually realized it was something I wanted to devote all my time to. I have been trained to teach a whole range of ages from three years old up to 77!
This desire to help others went even further when, in October last year, I decided to swim the English Channel with the charity Swim Tayka. I first knew about the charity back in 2019 after searching Google for volunteering projects, and I was really inspired by the work they did in providing disadvantaged children with swimming lessons and drowning prevention education.
“Why did you sign up for the challenge?” one of the charity workers asked me.
Sitting down one evening, I really thought about why I wanted to do this and I remembered the incident that happened when I was a child.
I just want to help people love and respect the water in the same way I do. Watching by the pool side as my students splash (溅) about care-free, I smile proudly. It really does make all the difference knowing you’re helping others and I encourage people to take up the challenge.

23、You may have heard of the American Dream, an ideal that has powered the hopes of Americans for generations.
It began as a belief that the US was a land of opportunity, and that anyone could achieve success through hard work. At times, the dream has referred to home ownership, a good job, retirement security or each generation doing better than the last.
Yet today, this concept seems to have greatly changed. As Time magazine pointed out, quite different from the older generation, many Millennials (the generation born after 1980) redefine(重新定义) the American Dream as “day-to-day control of your life”. They “prize job mobility, flexible schedules, any work that is more interesting than typing, and the ability to travel”, said the magazine.
Home ownership, once the cornerstone of the American Dream, is becoming a smaller priority for this generation. Meanwhile, nearly 40% of them choose travel as part of their dream. And entrepreneurship(创业) is a rising favorite, as nearly 26% of Millennials consider self-employment as part of their dream.
So what has led to this huge change?
Many point fingers at the poor economy. “Modern young Americans seem bound to face a world stamped by ever narrowing opportunity and social stagnation(停滞),”noted The Daily Beast.
“The rate of 16- to 24-year-olds out of school and out of work is unusually high at 15%. Many college graduates have taken jobs that don’t require a degree,” Time reported.
The magazine worries that these difficulties may lead to a lost generation who are “unable to ever truly find their feet on the corporation’s ladder”.
Dan Kadlec, a reporter of Time, sees Millennials as resetting their expectations.“This situation is different for young adults today,” he wrote. “A true American dream has to feel attainable, and many Millennias are feeling they can only attain a day-today lifestyle that suits them.”
【1】The underlined word “cornerstone” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. growth B. balance C. basis D. purpose
【2】What has changed Millennials’ view of the American Dream according to the passage?
A. A lack of confidence in themselves.
B. Fierce competition in the job market.
C. Their dissatisfaction with the government.
D. The discouraging economy and unemployment.
【3】Dan Kadlec thinks Millennials’ new definition of the American Dream is ________.
A. beautiful B. understandable C. worrying D. positive
【4】What can be the best title for this passage?
A. Redefinition of American Dream
B. Meaning of American Dream
C. Value of Achieving American Dream
D. History of Changing American Dream
24、In January 1958, Rachel Carson received a letter from her fiend Olga Owens Huckins. Huckins lived in an area of Massachusetts where the state was trying to get rid of mosquitoes. They had used planes to spray a mixture of fuel oil and DDT (a pesticide, which can kill pests such as insects, weeds and rodents) all over the area around Huckins home. DDT was supposedly harmless but the morning after the spraying. Huckins found several of her favorite birds dead outside her house. And the spraying did not even kill all of the mosquitoes, in fact that summer there were more of them than ever before. Huckins asked Carson if she knew someone in Washington that could help prevent future spraying.
Carson had been hearing about DDT since a Swiss chemist discovered it could be used to kill insects in 1939. To many people, DDT seemed like a miracle substance. Farmers were excited about saving their crops from pests. Doctors and others were excited about saving people's lives by killing disease-carrying insects. But to Carson. DDT appeared to be dangerous to all living creatures.
The more Carson found out about DDT and other pesticides, the more she realized that she needed to help stop future spraying. Carson decided to write a book about pesticides. She said, “There would be no future peace for me if I kept silent.” She called her book Silent Spring.
Carson had spent her life studying, observing, and writing about nature. She was a trained biologist and a talented writer who knew how to present scientific information in compelling stories. Before Silent Spring, she had written other books from the perspective of fish birds, islands and oceans. Carson knew that all things in nature exist in a delicately balanced ecosystem. In Silent Spring, Carson wrote that. although the ecosystem can adjust to changes, it needs time. Carson believed that people u the 19s0s were using pesticides carelessly Nature didn’t have time to adjust, wrote Carson, because so any pesticides had been used in such large quantities in such short tame.

A．It killed pests such as insects, weeds and rodents around Huckins' home.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
You can always believe patience and perseverance (毅力) are always rewarded whatever you do. This was a lesson Eli learned. Eli is my seven-year-old grandson. I always teach him things I think he should know, and he tries to teach me to play some of the games that I have for him on my iPad. He is very patient and persistent, but so far no success with that. It’s all just foreign to me.
The other day, Eli and his dad came for a visit. I could tell something was bothering him and asked him what was wrong. At first, he just shrugged and said nothing was wrong. But his body language told me a different story.
I asked again—pushing a little. Eli said that he was having a problem. He was trying to learn how to blow bubble-gum bubbles (口香糖泡泡). It seemed like all of his friends could blow bubble-gum bubbles, but he just couldn’t do it. I tried to explain how to do it, but aside from making funny faces and sticking out my tongue, nothing got accomplished. He tried to do what I said. His cheeks puffed out (鼓起). His face got red. He made funny noises. But no bubbles.
Then I had an idea. I asked Eli if he had another piece of gum—and not the ABC kind. He did. He gave it to me. Now, I hadn’t chewed a piece of bubble gum for years. Wow, it’s sweet. And one piece is huge. It filled my entire mouth. I don’t remember a piece of bubble gum being that big. I chewed and chewed and chewed. Finally, that piece of gum became more manageable.
I worked that piece of gum around in my mouth and wrapped it around my tongue, and then I slowly blew a bubble. Nice! I guess it’s like riding a bicycle. Even though I hadn’t tried blowing bubbles with bubble gum for years, I completely remembered how to do it at the first attempt.
After the bubble burst, I began to show Eli how to blow bubbles, but still nothing worked.
