21、After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen “vax” as the Word of the Year.
Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that “Vax”, the shortened term for “vaccine”, has injected itself into the bloodstream of the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021.
A contributing factor to its rise in 2021— aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive— is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vaccination as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as “vax cards”, “vax passports”, and “getting vaxxied”. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after one’s vaccination. “It has made the most striking impact,” said Fiona MePherson.
Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) “vaccinate” and “vaccination” both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from the Latin word “vacca”, which means “cow”. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s.
“The word’s highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how ‘vax’ sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year,” Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages, said in an interview. “No word better captures the atmosphere of the year than ‘vax’”
【1】Which of the following best describes the word vax?
A．Fixed.
B．Complex.
C．Adaptable.
D．Boring.
【2】What is the origin of the word vax?
A．Edward Jenner’s pioneering work.
B．The Latin word vacca.
C．The Latin word cow.
D．The Oxford English Dictionary.
【3】Why is vax chosen as the Word of the Year?
A．It is from The Oxford English Dictionary.
B．It is accepted by Oxford Languages.
C．It appears most frequently in news.
D．It is reporters’ favorite word.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Choosing vax as the Word of 2021.

22、Below is a passage adapted from the network edition of China Daily.
Event
Li Yang, one of China’s most famous English teachers, apologized for beating his American wife more than a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism.
“I wholeheartedly apologize to my wife Kim and my girls for committing domestic violence. This has caused them serious physical and mental damage,” Li said on his microblog at Weibo.com, the country’s most popular social media site, on Saturday. Li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “Crazy English,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of one’s lungs.
He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees.

@Xuemanzi, angel investor
Anti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. Police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer, even if no one reports them. Society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime.
@Zhangxiaomei
Chinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. A good marriage needs to overcome three differences: family background, gender and personalities. In addition to these, there is cultural gap in Li Yang’s case. If the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. Li’s domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education.
@Wuxiaolong, Sina Weibo user
Li Yang’s choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean: Li wants his students to worship him as an idol. I still remember he once had his students kowtow（叩头） to him. He always teaches English by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power.
@Sikaozhe, Sina Weibo user
In the US, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than stealing. If the police arrive at the wife’s call during a fighting between a couple and find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. Even if the wife doesn’t call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part.
@ykxin Sina Weibo User
Don’t blindly worship anyone, because in every closet there may hide a skeleton. As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. Not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like Li Yang, will fail in both. Don’t judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character.
Aftermath(余波)
Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even if he and Lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family.
Wang Xingjuan, founder of the Maple Women’s Psychological Consulting Center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. She said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress.
【1】This passage is focused on Li Yang’s .
A. microblog article B. domestic violence
C. English-teaching career D. international marriage
【2】Zhangxiaomei holds the view that .
A. laws should be passed to protect women and children
B. crazy personality accounts for violence and ill temper
C. overcoming background gap is necessary for marriage
D. Li is wrong to have his students worship him as an idol
【3】Who thinks that character plays the most important role in one’s life?
A. @Xuemanzi B. @Sikaozhe
C. @ykxin D. @Zhangxiaomei
【4】According to Wang Xingjuan, .
A. people of higher education won’t easily lose temper
B. people under stress tend to have domestic violence
C. people in lower social status often beat their wives
D. people with senior jobs seldom have family trouble
23、Dave Mader has been racing for 50 years, and while he always wants to win a trophy, a second-place finish on a national stage had the 65-year-old feeling pretty good.
Mader finished behind Corey Heim, who at 18 years old was born well after Mader’s only victory in the series in a 1991 race at Michigan. Mader competed in 10 Cup events from 1988 to 1992 and still races short tracks throughout the Southeast. He finished 27th in the February at Daytona after a mechanical issue ended his day.
Mader said, “This is huge. I’m 65 years old. This is for all the old people. Isn’t that great I want to cry. It’s so exciting? I’ve been doing this for 50 years. To still be able to do it on any capacity is great. Mander said he got into another car early in the race but had a fairly smooth day.
“I guess they’re going to go, ‘the old man ran into somebody,’” he said with a laugh. “It’s tough out there running 190 and being that close. Things happen.”Heim said he has never met Mader, but he seemed to enjoy hearing the history of Mader’s accomplishments.“It’s pretty unreal to see people like that up front. He was a very smart, clean racer,” Heim said.
Mader has no plans of slowing down.
He said, “I’ve been doing it all my life. It’s what I’ve always done. I do it for fun. I love the trophy. It’s not about ego or anything like that. I just enjoy it. I’ve been pretty good at it for a long time, and as long as I feel good and be fair, I want to continue doing it. ”

24、When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
