21、In the past years a lot of people migrated from one country to another in Europe. They had to leave their countries with their traditions, their cultures and sometimes also their families. People migrate because they think that they will have a better life, they will find a job and they will make a lot of money for their families to survive. Sometimes it's true, and they find a job, they make a lot of money and then they go back to their families to help them. But sometimes they are not that lucky.
The problem that those people create is that a lot of people from Europe are unemployed and they don't have jobs because immigrants have taken so many jobs. But the question is also: Would European people want a job such as cleaning or hard labor? I think that most of them wouldn't. So we should stop criticizing for a moment and think. We would then maybe realize that it's not that bad to have immigrants at home.
The only problem is that it's not right that immigrants want to impose( 强加于 )their religion on other countries by leading and building mosques ( 清真寺). Because if they had done that in other countries they would have caused trouble. Phenomena like these happened a few years ago in Great Britain: It was forbidden to switch on Christmas lights outside, because Christmas is a Catholic ( 天主教的 ) recurrence and it was offensive for the Islamic people who lived there. That is not right. The country that gives hospitality to immigrants has the task to allow them to enter society, to be free to believe in their religion and their culture, but every country does not have to forget its tradition and culture. This is one of the many facts which happened in the past years, and I think that many others are going to happen because this phenomenon is developing every day more and more.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about__________.
A. what a life Europeans lived
B. why some Europeans migrated
C. how Europeans migrated
D. what migration caused
【2】What's the main problem between the immigrants and the native people according to the passage?
A. Native people and immigrants fight for the same job opportunities.
B. Native people always leave the worst jobs to the immigrants.
C. Different religions and cultures often result in some conflicts.
D. Native people refuse the immigrants to enter their country.
【3】What does the author think of the European immigrants?
A. It takes them too much trouble to migrate.
B. They have made contributions to the host country.
C. They are offered hard jobs but paid less.
D. They should be accepted in the host country.
【4】We may learn from the passage that__________.
A. some people reject foreigners' immigrating to their own country
B. the author thinks immigrating can help mix different cultures together
C. immigrants to Great Britain were all Islamic people
D. immigrants can only find hard and dirty jobs in other countries
【5】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.
A. people with different religions won' t be allowed to migrate to another country
B. immigrants are not free to believe in their own culture
C. no other European countries but Great Britain have conflicts
D. problems caused by different religions and cultures will exist long
22、I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.
We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.
Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.
Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.
【1】While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.
A. knew the elephant was injured
B. found the elephant acted violently
C. tried their best to save the elephant
D. thought the elephant was in good condition
【2】Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.
A. had suffered an hour or two
B. was killed by a poisonous needle
C. had suffered a lot
D. had had a good fight with a poacher
【3】How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?
A. empty. B. comfortable. C. upset. D. relieved.
【4】Why did the author write the text?
A. To introduce African elephant.
B. To show the cruelty of poaching.
C. To describe his filming experience.
D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.
23、After stocking up at the shopping center we both frequent, my friend John was half a mile up Danbury Road, at the mom-and-pop wine store, when he reached into his pocket to pay. No wallet.
The stay-at-home order had just been issued in our state, and the last thing anyone needed was to be cut off from all bank and credit cards with no driver’s license. You can imagine how John felt. He went back to the Stop & Shop parking lot where he’d loaded everything up and then wiped it down because no way was the coronavirus getting near his 80-year-old mother.
But the wallet wasn’t anywhere. He must have left it on his roof and driven off. On his drive home, John was feeling lost. Then his cell phone rang. “Is that John?” a man said.
Five minutes later, John and the man, name of Alex, met at a local gas station. Alex told John how he’d spotted the wallet and braked to a stop in the middle of busy Danbury Road to get it back. Then his son found out John’s cell number from social media. Now Alex, smiling widely, handed John his billfold.
John was dumbfounded at their determination. “Here, let me pay you or something,” he said. “No,” said Alex. “I can’t take the money.” John thanked him again, and they began to part. Then John had another idea. “Hey, do you need toilet paper?”
Alex looked sheepish. “Well, my wife has been looking…” he admitted. John handed him several rolls from his newly purchased stash.

24、 Brian Hamilton’s life changed in a prison when he was accompanying his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do his work. During the visit, Hamilton started talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out.
“He said he was going to get a job,” Hamilton recalls(回忆). “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”
The conversation made Hamilton consider how prisoners could benefit from entrepreneurship, something he thought about for years. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation, Hamilton created Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses. “Harris and I taught our first course at a prison called ‘ How to Start Your Own Business When You Get Out’ ,” he recalls.
At the time, Hamilton was building his own company, Sageworks. As Sageworks grew, so did Hamilton’ s time spent teaching at prisons throughout North Carolina.
Eventually, Hamilton decided it was time to change his focus to his true passion. In May 2018, he sold his stake(股份) in Sageworks, focusing his commitment on Inmates to Entrepreneurs.
“Now, anyone is able to access the curriculum, either to become an instructor to go into prisons to teach it or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,” Hamilton explains. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the curriculum to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.
The free curriculum is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they adjust to civilian life and provides loans to small businesses. “We’re giving prisoners something they can do independent of a system that isn’t working for them. If you can let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”
【1】Why did Brian Hamilton think the prisoner couldn’t easily find a job after getting out?
A.He didn’t have any special skills.
B.He would have his criminal background with him.
C.He would break the criminal law again and again.
D.He couldn’t access the courses provided by the prison.
【2】What does the underlined word “entrepreneurship” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Thinking of a good idea after working hard for years.
B.Trying one’s best because of being kept in a small place.
C.Making money by starting or running one’s own businesses.
D.Having a job in a profitable company owned by the government.
【3】What does the text say about Inmates to Entrepreneurs?
A.It often assists military members. B.It provides loans to small businesses.
C.It’s independent of the social system. D.Its curriculum has been largely broadened.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.A man made a fruitless visit to the prison.
B.A man sold his business to teach prisoners.
C.A man realized his dream of being a teacher.
D.A man successfully created two organizations.
