21、 Have you seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption? If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to earn freedom by escaping the hopeless prison. It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison. However, Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a chance. It is a museum in Melbourne, which served as prison between 1842 and 1929.
We experienced being prisoners in the prison. All of us were asked to put down our belongings and then we were checked. We couldn’t hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with fake names and charges. We read the information loudly and then the “police” explained it in a funny way. For example, a gentleman’s charge was carrying an illegal weapon, which was actually just an umbrella.
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms in the prison. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could feel the same depression as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.
I think Australian museums are quite interesting. They not only add modern technology to historical relics, but also hold various activities for visitors.

22、Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D. Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
【1】Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments?
A．She hoped to create a better viola.
B．She was not satisfied with her career.
C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D．She wanted to teach her students about music.
【2】What do we know about Hutchins?
A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B．She is very good at playing the octet.
C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
【3】Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A．is easier to make
B．has the same size
C．produces richer sounds
D．is less enjoyed by musicians
【4】What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins?
A．Respectful.
B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful.
D．Worried.
23、A small Alaska village has experienced a wonderful period in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat （栖息地）of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.
Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in 1995. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight （困境）of polar bears about ten years ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
The village had fewer than 50 visitors every year before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said they have been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients （客户）are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.
【1】Why do more polar bears tend to stay on land in Kaktovik?
A．Because of food shortage.
B．Because of climate change.
C．Because of habitats movement.
D．Because of their preference for land.
【2】When did people begin to notice polar bears stay on land?
A．In 1995.
B．In 2004.
C．In 2011.
D．In 2018.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Hotels in Kaktovik are not enough.
B．Tourism affects the beauty of nature.
C．Kaktovik has less than 50 visitors per year.
D．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.
【4】What conclusion can we make according to the text?
A．Nothing is impossible.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．Where there is life, there is hope.
D．All things in their being are good for something.
