21、E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors, researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use, as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton, the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .
How, despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts, have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.
Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes, which are not very expensive, are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina, high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco, but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes, the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive, which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.
If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool, we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.
【1】From 2013 to 2014 student e-cigarette smokers in high school increased by about ____.
A. 3. 5% B. 9% C. 27% D. 40%
【2】About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of ____ .
A. e-cigarettes’ low prices B. cool designs of e-cigarettes
C. the influence of people around them. D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.
B. Teens are unsure whether e-cigarettes can be considered safe.
C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.
D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to e-cigarettes?

23、Alice’s mother died when Alice was five years old. Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother’s death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll.
In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大厅). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother—one with gray hair and spectacles(眼镜): a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed.
A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some special arrangements.
Christmas Day arrived and at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read:
For Alice:
I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) before my trip this year and came across this package that was supposed to be delivered on December 25,1953. The present inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.
Love,
Santa Claus
My mother’s reaction was one of the most deeply emotional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by “Santa”, made my mother the happiest “child” that Christmas.
【1】The reason why the writer’s mother couldn’t have a doll when young was that_________.
A. Santa Clause forgot to deliver the doll to her
B. her daughter couldn’t make a doll by herself
C. her parents left the doll in the Santa Clause’s sleigh
D. her family was badly off when she was a child
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. the writer’s father played the Father Christmas
B. the writer’s mother was already in her sixties when she received the doll
C. the writer asked one of her friends to make the doll for her mother
D. the Santa Clause was too careless to deliver the doll on time
【3】When the writer’s mother received the doll that she had waited so long, she was __________.
A. pleased and inspired B. puzzled and angry
C. happy and excited D. curious and grateful
【4】The best title for this passage could be __________.
A. A Doll from Santa B. An unforgettable Christmas
C. A considerate daughter D. A help from Santa Claus
24、We're happy to report that Roz Savage is back on the water, on the third and final stage of her historic journey across the Pacific from California to Australia. The office worker turned environmental-advocate-rower still has a long way to go, but ever since her first leg — where she had considerable problems getting enough drinking water, and yet, to the astonishment of those who don't know her, waved of anyone going out of their way to assist — we've had surprisingly little doubt that Roz will make it. It's funny, because even after all these miles. Roz tells YachtPals (游艇爱好者) that she still really doesn't enjoy rowing; in fact she virtually feels uncomfortable at the mention of the word.
If you don't know who Roz Savage is, maybe you should. Perhaps you've seen the abandoned drift nets offshore, or remote and beaches covered in garbage, or heard of Pacific Garbage Patch, and thought "why isn't somebody doing something about this?" Well, there are those trying, trying to get others who are so unlucky as to be trapped on dry land to pay attention to the fact that there's a problem out there — beyond the sight of land. One of the most devoted, tireless and effective at getting that message across has been Roz Savage.
After the first leg of her journey (which she devoted to ocean pollution), she met a famous person from the environmental movement, and did her best to make sure the issue of plastic pollution would not go unnoticed. After leg two (devoted to climate change), she was asked to attend some extremely important events — including the most recent Summit on climate change — and not just as a participant, but as a speaker. As it turns out, it seems that Roz has got fans and supporters across a fairly broad political spectrum (with a few notable exceptions). She may have started out preaching to the choir, but now she's got the attention of the whole congregation, and then some.
Roz Savage has an army of loyal fans who call themselves the "Rozlings", and who will likely make sure that the party goes on for some time after her arrival. Much of her travel accommodation involve couch surfing and house-sitting situations arranged by the Rozlings, who seem to be spread around the globe. They seem always eager to help out the energetic and voluntarily homeless English woman, and maybe that's because her message since her first leg. See, Roz doesn't say she's out to save the planet. Rather, she's out to save us -- the planet. As the Roz says (and most scientists agree), the planet will survive just fine in the long run, the question is: In a thousand years, will humans still be here to enjoy it?
【1】In the first paragraph, the writer expresses surprise that Roz Savage _________.
A．refused help that was willingly offered
B．gave up a good job to devote herself to rowing

C．stress that Roz's environmental goals are unlikely to be achieved.
D．emphasize that it will take a long time for everyone to know about the issue.
【3】What is the main point that the writer is making in the third paragraph?
A．Roz had changed the focus of her campaigning as her journey progressed.
B．Roz had been surprised that important people are prepared to listen to her.
C．Roz has become increasingly influential as an environmental campaigner
D．Roz has become a more accomplished public speaker.
【4】The writer explains that Roz appeals to the Rozlings because of _________.
A．her friendly personality
B．her obvious love for the planet.
C．the scientific support for her views
D．the human focus of her message
