21、 He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unluck, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help carry either the fishing lines or the spear. The sail was old and, rolled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.
The old man was very thin with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown spots of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The spots ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep scar from handling heavy fish on the thick ropes. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions (侵蚀) in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.
“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the boat was pulled up. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.”
The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. :
“No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them,”
“But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.
“I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.”
【1】Why did the boy leave the old man?
A．He felt extremely disappointed.
B．He missed his parents.
C．He had to obey his parents.
D．He wanted to catch fish.
【2】What can we learn about the old man in paragraph 2?
A．He was easy-going and talkative.
B．He was heart-broken and helpless.
C．He was ugly-looking but warm-hearted.
D．He was weather-beaten but strong-willed.
【3】Which of the following can be inferred according to the dialogue?
A．The old man disliked the boy.
B．The old man distrusted the boy.
C．The boy doubted about the old man.
D．The boy had faith in the old man.
【4】What type of writing is true of the passage?
A．Narration
B．Argumentation
C．Description
D．Exposition
22、 Six years ago, Sam Shapiro’s family adopted a 15-year-old boy from Cite Soleil, Haiti. A few years later, in June 2015, Shapiro wanted to learn more about where his brother grew up, so he visited his brother’s hometown.
What Shapiro saw was a small city where 100 percent of the population lived in poverty. He saw homeless children with no access to education, activities or safe spaces to play. He also saw a run-down, abandoned basketball court.
Shapiro couldn’t fix everything. But he could do something.
“I thought athletics could be used to give kids opportunities for organized activities that could keep them off the streets,” said Shapiro.
A year after his first visit, Shapiro returned to Cite Soleil with his friend Jack Moe. The next month, Shapiro and Moe- then 16-year-old sophomores (大二学生) at the Blake School – formed a nonprofit, called “Sprint to Cite Soleil”, to benefit the city’s youth.
The core program of Sprint to Cite Soleil is basketball, but it also consists of nutrition and community-building to benefit children aged 5 to 18.
“Our mission originally was to provide a new basketball court,” said Moe. “But we soon realized that a lot of kids wanted to play basketball, and more than just a court was needed. We sent jerseys, basketballs, basketball pumps and shoes. Hundreds of kids showed up for a clinic.”
They soon hired 10 coaches and four cooks to prepare nutritious meals for the 160 boys and girls who train every Saturday and Sunday.
And they hired director Joseph Sadrack, a local native, whom Shapiro calls “trustworthy and right for the leadership position ...”
From the start, Shapiro, Moe and Sadrack agreed on how the program should develop.
“We are very much a partnership,” said Shapiro. “Personally, I’ve seen a lot of organizations trying to help in foreign countries. They have their own mindset and want to do things their way.”
“I’m not living there,” he continued. “I don’t know what they need. Before any decision is made, we ask Joseph, ‘What can we do?’ and, ‘What do they need?’”
Now sophomores in college - Shapiro at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Moe at Stanford in California - they continue their work as co-presidents of the nonprofit.
Shapiro said it’s been a rewarding experience.
“I’m proud that, despite the somewhat of a language and cultural barrier, we’re able to communicate,” said Shapiro. “I’m proud that others believe in us and trust us. That’s what we’re most proud of. Being able to create it and maintain it.”
【1】Why did Shapiro go to Haiti?
A.To visit his brother.
B.To do a part-time job.
C.To help his family adopt a kid.
D.To learn about his brother’s hometown.
【2】What do we know about Sprint to Cite Soleil?
A.It is only run by two American boys.
B.It makes profits from the local government.
C.It stopped after Shapiro became a sophomore.
D.It provides resources for children and teens.
【3】What does Shapiro learn from the program?
A.The language barrier is a big problem.
B.It will be great for his future career.
C.It is difficult but gives him a good feeling.
D.It is too expensive but he will continue.
23、 Concentration is important for students. 【1】. With roommates or family, incoming messages, the internet and a million others, it’s easy to lose focus. Use these tips to make a personal study place perfect for concentration.
Create your quiet space
Muting (静音) your phone and not getting distracted (分散注意力) by the internet are the most important ways. 【2】. For internet distractions, consider downloading an app that can block access to the internet and keep you on track and away from social media.
【3】
Another easy way to get distracted from your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. If you’re doing work on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger because a failing battery may force you to stop studying before you’ve finished. Be sure to have all of the pens, highlighters and books you will need available.【4】.
Find the right atmosphere
【5】. Students with worksheets, equations (方程式) and practice problems would probably do better with a desk or a large table so that they can spread out and access all of their materials at the same time. Students with lots of their reading may be more comfortable on a sofa or chair where they can settle in and get comfortable while they study. Make sure the environment is best for you.
A．Bring the essentials
B．Keep things organized
C．Locate the study space that interests you
D．Not everyone has the same study style or assignments
E．Getting into the right mindset for serious studying can be difficult
F．Turn your phone on airplane mode so that texts and calls can’t distract you
G．Getting up and interrupting your thought make it really challenging to truly focus
24、 Skyscrapers are the symbol of Urban life.City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms，on the other hand,are associated with rural(农村的)life.However，there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest，almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition，the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same.If current farming practices don't change，we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally，vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day，it wouldn't be enough. For this reason，vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的)farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer,but the best ideas could be yet to come.
【1】What primary problem could vertical farming settle？
A. Poor state of rural life.
B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High cost for transporting crops.
D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings
【2】What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A. It can produce organic food.
B. It requires little care.
C. It can benefit transport industry.
D. It needs very low cost.
【3】What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?
A. Farmable land. B. Crop diseases
C. Light sources. D. Climate conditions.
【4】What can be the best title of the test?
A. Future Food Needs
B. Symbol of Urban Life
C. Farming on Rooftops
D. Farms of the Future
