21、As the Alaskan sky gradually turned dark blue, the commands to my sled dog team broke the silence. I threw a glance over my shoulder as I thundered down the frozen waterway in the sub-zero temperatures. Where was Mike, my guide? I wondered if he realized I was miles away.
While out exploring in the early evening, my lead dog smelled something it couldn’t resist. Regardless of my instructions, it instinctively wheeled around and led all the other dogs in the opposite direction at full speed. In my conversations with Mike over the past few days, I’d been told that if I got lost, I would be in big trouble. There weren’t any supplies for me—no extra clothing or shelter, not to mention the firestarter, and we had seen wolf tracks regularly.
It was March, the end of the Alaskan winter. A long journey from Australia had brought me to Yukon, Alaska. My hosts’ log cabin was the starting point for my 10-day adventure. Wayne and Scarlett, my hosts, lived a sustainable life. They hunted, fished, and gathered food while consciously minimizing their carbon footprint. Having enjoyed many years of exploring the Alaskan wilderness, the couple chose to help adventurers to experience the same lifestyle.
Driving a team of sled dogs is not as easy as it appears. I’d imagined it would be a very relaxing experience, in which I would ride along with a pleasant smile while gazing at the passing landscape. In reality it turned out much tougher. You must predict where your dogs would go and how the surface ahead might change.
During the journey, we stayed in a different place every night, and took care of our dog teams. These dogs can guarantee our safety and help us escape dangerous situations, so their health and well-being always rank first. After we settled, we started collecting snow for water and cutting firewood.
Luckily, I didn’t end up in the fangs (尖牙) of wolves. Mike found me sometime later. Our dog teams, in the excitement of being reunited, headed straight for each other and got tangled up in the ropes. There’s never a boring moment.
【1】Why did the writer get lost?
A．The lead dog was misled by Mike.
B．He failed to give instructions in time.
C．The lead dog smelled something irresistible.
D．He had a poor sense of direction in darkness.
【2】How did Wayne and Scarlett live in Alaska?
A．They led an eco-friendly life.
B．They lived by helping adventurers.
C．They seldom walked out of their log cabin.
D．They worked as guides for exploring Alaska.
【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Driving a sled dog team is demanding.
B．Adventurers prefer to ride with a smile.
C．Appreciating the landscape is appealing.
D．Adventurers take care of their dog teams.
【4】Which of the following can best describe the writer’s exploration in Alaska?
A．Wonderful and entertaining.
B．Frightening and exhausting.
C．Dangerous and painstaking.
D．Adventurous and interesting.
22、About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
【1】What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness?
A．He lost the ability to keep balance.
B．His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C．He underwent two operations in a row.
D．His vision was accidentally damaged.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B．The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C．The different attitudes of the author’s family to him.
D．The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury.
【3】How did the author find his talk with the boy?
A．Reasonable.
B．Engaging.
C．Life-changing.
D．In-depth.
【4】What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music?
A．Music is the universal language of mankind.
B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.
23、 If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard?
What is a Hoverboard?
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard Work?
The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:
•Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
•Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.
•Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.
•Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.
All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard?
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend?
Where is a hoverboard legal?
Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.
【1】The logic board of a hoverboard can ______.
A.store electricity B.power the wheels
C.send information to the riders D.receive data and give command
【2】According to the passage, you can see a hoverboard ______.
A.on campus B.in parks
C.on bike paths D.in shopping malls
【3】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To evaluate a gift’s quality.
B.To suggest a gift option.
C.To compare new hoverboard models.
D.To explain functions of the latest hoverboards.
