21、 Vancouver has had a crazy property（房地产）market since it hosted the winter Olympics in 2010.The downtown area is forested with new apartment blocks. Prices have risen by nearly 60% in the past three years. But until recently developers have largely avoided Chinatown. It is an underdeveloped area. Many Chinatown residents（居民）are old and poor.
Developers now have Chinatown in their sights. Two years ago one built a 17-storey apartment building on its edge. This alarmed many residents，who had formed a group to stop the high-rise advance，now called #SaveChinatownYVR. Ms Melody Ma is its leader. Recently it has been successful.
The main theatre of battle is a car park known as 105 Keefer，where Beedie Living plans to build a nine-storey brick-and-glass apartment block. The developer promises 111 luxury flats，with rooftop landscaping and shops below.
105 Keefer is in an area rich with cultural associations. Just to the south is a monument to Chinese-Canadian builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway and veterans of the Second World War. Across the street is the Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. "A lot of people were frightened" because of the building's "closeness to sacred sites in the heart of Chinatown", says Ms Ma. Some residents also fear that it will push up rents.
Conservationists hope that the parking lot is where they can stop development, which they say has spoil the charm of other Vancouver neighbourhoods such as Mount Pleasant. The dispute（分歧）is part of a debate about the city's identity，says Andy Yan，an urban planner. Vancouverites， he says，are asking themselves，"Who are we？And what are we building for？"The people who might want to buy the flats that do not yet exist are，of course，not being consulted.
【1】What will Ms. Melody Ma agree？
A.To preserve Chinatown.
B.To rebuild Chinatown.
C.To build skyscrapers in Chinatown.
D.To promote the property market in Chinatown.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4？
A.To state some reasons. B.To offer some advice.
C.To make some comparisons. D.To introduce a new topic.
【3】What is Vancouverites' attitude towards the recent development in Chinatown?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful.
C.Unfavorable. D.Divided.
【4】What is the best tile for the text?
A.The alarmed citizens of Vancouver
B.The cultural associations of 105 Keefer
C.The property battle in Vancouver's Chinatown
D.The identity of Vancouver
22、I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
【1】At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.
A. finish his homework on time B. keep silent in the room
C. pay more attention to his study D. get right answers

A. the old form of education B. the importance of parents
C. the relationship between kids and their parents D. the good grades of some kids

A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B. Parents should love and accept their kids.
C. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.
D. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Study Hard and You’ll Be Successful
B. Be Friendly to Your Children
C. Parents’ Help with Their Children’s Study
D. Children’s Success in Their Own Style
23、 John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” said she. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son — then 15 — to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for, John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But there John could go to school, and there he learned the power of words — as editor of the newspaper and yearbook of Du Stable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn (典当) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary.”
Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America — worth $150 million.
【1】Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago? Because ________.

D．Now John is the richest man in America.
【3】What kind of woman was John’s mother? She was a ________.

24、 A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won multiple gold medals for her school during a provincial sports despite not having proper running shoes.
Rhea Ballos, an 11-year old student of Salvacion Elementary School in Balasan, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.
Facebook user Valenzuela posted images of the girl with her feet wrapped in brown plaster (石膏) bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word "NIKE" on the sides of her "shoes" to complete the "Nike running shoes" look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track.
While she was virtually (实质上) barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her opponents (对手) who all wore proper footwear intended for running. According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the inter-school sporting event held in Iloil, central Philippines.
When images of her "Nike" footwear were spread widely, Filipinos on social media showered her with praises for her dedication and character. Many noted that instead of wallowing in self-pity. she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her "running shoes."
Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. It did not take long for Jeffery Cariaso, a famous coach, to take notice of Ballos' outstanding performance. He immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner to help her.

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。
Mary’s husband died a few years ago from an accident. To make ends meet, she had to take on several jobs and bring up her five children alone. Fortunately, her oldest children understood her and helped to look after the younger kids. Mary always felt terrible about that, but there was nothing she could do. She dreamed of having a van to transport goods for others so that she could have another source of income.
In the mornings, Mary cleaned the houses for some families, and worked as a cashier at a supermarket the rest of the afternoon. At night, she worked at a gas station’s convenience store. Every night, she came home tired, and most of the kids had been asleep by then.
One afternoon, Mary was walking to the supermarket to start her duty when she saw an old man staring at the window of the bakery next door. The smell of fresh-baked bread permeated (弥漫) the air. However, the man merely sighed and started walking away.
Mary felt awful for some unknown reason and stopped the man. “Hey, sir. I think I’ve seen you before at the store, ”she said. “Yes. I’m Hector. Nice to see you,” the old man nodded at her and started to walk away.
“Wait, do you need anything?” Mary said, smiling kindly.
“Honestly, there was a leak in my roof this month, and I had to spend my entire month’s pension (退休金) on it. I don’t have much money for desserts,” he said. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy some again.”
