21、 Though the Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well-known as the Grand Canyon, it’s undoubtedly one of America’s most unique tourist attractions. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, with the official U.S.-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor.
Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as respect to Mrs. Haskell’s late husband, Carlos. The family hoped that citizens from both countries would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”, according to the official Haskell Free Library website.
The Haskell is divided between the two countries. While the library’s official entrance is on the U.S. side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side. The opera house is similarly split, with most of its seats in the U.S. and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the U.S. with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.
Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell’s website notes that the border inside the building “is real and it is enforced”. Visitors are expected to return to their side of the border after a visit. If they don’t, they risk possible detention and fines.
Even beyond the building’s unique position, library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers—Canadian and American alike—consider the institution to be like any other library in the world.
“We’re just trying to be the best library, and our community is made up of people from two different countries,” she said. “We don’t think of it in that big symbolic way that I think a lot of people do. These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey.”
【1】What can be learned about the Haskell Free Library?
A. It has a history of almost 100 years.
B. It runs across the U.S.-Canada border.
C. It can be compared to the Grand Canyon.
D. It is a well-known tourism site in Mexico.
【2】Why was the Haskell Free Library built?
A. To be in honor of Mrs. Haskell.
B. To donate books to the community.
C. To support the cultural needs of citizens.
D. To offer a relaxing environment for both countries.
【3】What is required if you are a visitor to the library?
A. A passport must be carried. B. Border laws must be respected.
C. An ID card must be checked. D. A personal photo must be taken.
【4】What can be inferred from Nancy Rumery’s words?
A. The library takes on a symbolic meaning.
B. She hopes to offer the best service to the visitors.
C. She expects the library to be something different from others.
D. The library strengthens the ties between the bordering countries.
22、Mariam was five years old the first time she heard the word harami.
It happened on a Thursday. It must have, because Mariam remembered that she had been restless (坐立不安的) that day, the way she was only on Thursdays, the day when Jalil visited her.
To pass the time until the moment that she would see him at last, Mariam had climbed a chair and taken down her mother's Chinese tea set. It was the only thing that Mariam's mother, Nana, had of her own mother, who had died when Nana was two. It was this last piece that slipped from Mariam's fingers, that fell to the ground and shattered.
When Nana saw the bowl, her face flushed red, her upper lip shivered, and her eyes settled on Mariam unblinkingly. Nana grabbed Mariam by the wrists, pulled her close, and, through gritted teeth, said, “You are a clumsy little harami.”
At the time, Mariam didn't know what this word meant. Nor was she old enough to appreciate the injustice, to see that it is the creators of the harami who are guilty, not the harami, whose only sin (罪过) is being born.
It was the way Nana uttered the word — not so much saying it as spitting it at her — that made Mariam feel the full sting of it. She understood then that a harami was an unwanted thing.
Jalil never called Mariam this name.
Jalil had three wives and nine children, all of whom were strangers to Mariam. He was one of Herat's wealthiest and best-connected men. He had a cook, a driver, and three housekeepers. Nana had been one of the housekeepers. Until her belly began to swell.
When Nana said something bad about Jail, Mariam never dared tell her how much she disliked it. But the truth was that around Jail Mariam didn't feel at all like a harami. When Jalil came to see her, all smiles and gifts, Mariam felt deserving of all the beauty and bounty that life had to give. For this, Mariam loved Jalil.
EVEN IF SHE had to share him.
【1】Why did Nana call Mariam a harami?
A．Because she met Jalil.
B．Because she broke the bowl.
C．Because she stole the Chinese tea set from Nana.
D．Because she climbed a chair and fell to the ground.
【2】What can we know about Mariam according to the passage?
A．She liked her mother's Chinese tea set very much.
B．She didn't dare to tell Jalil she actually liked him.
C．She said something really bad to her mother in her face.
D．She was hurt by the way her mother called her harami.
【3】How did Nana feel when calling Mariam harami?
A．Scared and dissatisfied.
B．Embarrassed and hurt.
C．Anxious and heartbroken.
D．Angry and frustrated.
【4】What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A．Jalil actually loved Nana more than Mariam.
B．Mariam felt loved and content in Jalil's presence.
C．Mariam often hung out with her brothers and sisters.
D．Jalil was the wealthiest and best-connected man in Herat.
23、 Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loud conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.
When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He’d had enough of the woman’s rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they showed her Winston’s messages, she used just one word to describe Winston’s actions: rude.
Winston’s tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media. What can we do to fix this?
Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. Just witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say, “Just stop.” For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.
The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things. In my own research, surveying 2,000 adults, I discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman’s behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her.
We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers in the same way we’d defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.
【1】What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?
A.He knows how to speak to rude people.
B.He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.
C.He lost his temper due to other people’s rudeness.
D.He reacted to a woman’s rude behavior wrongly.
【2】What does “fueled by social media” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Rude behavior is common on social media.
B.Rudeness can be avoided through social media.
C.People can easily get away through social media.
D.Social media may spread and cause rudeness.
【3】According to the writer, how should you respond when you meet rude people?
A.Record them and post it on the Internet.
B.Point it out in a polite and skillful way.
C.Do nothing but wait for other people to fix it.
D.Pay them back by doing equally disturbing things.
【4】Which of the following statement is true about the last paragraph?
A.We can only point out rudeness from familiar people.
B.Rudeness and manners can hardly coexist in civilized society.
C.Both strangers and acquaintances deserve our friendly warning.
D.Rude people can’t see their rudeness through others’ eyes.
24、The virus “Ebola” is named after the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That’s where the virus was discovered in 1976. A person can only get Ebola through direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, for example, sweat or spit. Additionally, the virus can get into your body through your eyes and mouth if those areas come into contact with something that contains the bodily fluids of an infected person. That’s why health care workers are supposed to keep themselves completely covered while treating patients.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak is spreading fast in Western Africa, taking over 900 lives so far. The health systems in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are severely lacking in resources, and health care workers may not have access to adequate protective clothing when working in rural clinics, where the proper protections are lacking. Since Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia share a border; it’s easier for people to move from one country to another, increasing the risk for disease spread.
For now, all doctors can do is treat the symptoms and provide supportive care like monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing while making sure the patients’ fluids are supplied. Sometimes patients are given antibiotics(抗生素) to treat other possible infections. The hope is to make the patient pull through the infection so their immune system can eventually clear the virus. The people who survive Ebola have created enough antibodies to kill it.
There are several promising drugs and vaccines in development, but since Ebola is less common—and research about it is not well funded — there is no drug or vaccine that has been approved for use in humans. Many of the other drugs and vaccines have not yet been tested in humans. The WHO (World Health Organization) is meeting next week to discuss whether experimental treatments should be used during this outbreak.
【1】According to the passage, Ebola only spreads through _________.
A. patients’ sweat B. bodily fluids
C. people’s spit D. your body
【2】Which is the possible reason why Ebola spreads in West Africa quickly?
A. The Ebola river is polluted by the virus.
B. There aren’t any protections.
C. The protective clothing is adequate.
D. Three western countries share a border.
【3】Why have there been no cures used for Ebola in humans so far?
A. There are not enough drugs for the infected people.
B. Ebola is rare and its research money is lacking.
C. The people have enough antibodies to kill Ebola.
D. The WHO has decided not to use them.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title?
A. The Prevention from Ebola.
B. No Cure for the Virus “Ebola”.
C. The Deadliest Ebola in Africa.
D. Introduction to the Virus “Ebola”.
25、In 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a barbershop (理发店) after school for a haircut. Before long, one of his students ______. “He seems impatient and bored,” Irby recalls. “I look at this ______ thinking, ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I don’t see a ______ there.”
That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he ______ Barbershop Books, a nonprofit. “Many kids ______ reading with something they do in or for school,” Irby says. “If the only place a kid practices reading is during a lesson, the progress will be ______ …Our program is about getting kids to say three words: ‘I’m a reader.’”.
Irby’s program may seem easy, but there’s a lot of ______ behind it. He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each barbershop, making it ______ to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations for kids aged 4 to 8, his target audience. For Irby, the most important ______ of a book is that it should be fun to read.
Putting books in barbershops is not the finish line. Irby says, “Many kids ______ see adults reading.” So, Irby ______ the barbers in his program--training them to engage kids about reading. “We ______ barbers to use the reading spaces,” he says. “Then they can talk to the kids about how they like reading.”
Irby believes that discussing books with a barber can be ______ for the kids. “Our goal is not to ______ barbers into tutors (导师),” Irby says. “This is a good ______ to provide kids with role models.”
