21、My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.
【1】Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A. It was very warm and fine.
B. His old glasses were broken.
C. His glasses were missing.
D. He forgot to wear his glasses.
【2】From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. Charlie was a young man with skills
B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C. Charlie didn’t support his family with enough money
D. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
【3】The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. gave up B. took up C. cut down D. put off
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others
B. Customers’ Gift to an Employee
C. A Friendly Clerk — Charlie
D. A New Pair of Glasses
22、When it comes to studying, most of us bank on being able to focus on our subject like a shooter on his mission target. It is when we actually sit down to study that our minds begin to slip away. This is because focus is like a muscle. Unless you build it, you’ll be distracted by everything!【1】.
●Make a to-do list
Sometimes the simple act of writing down everything that’s on your plate makes it more manageable. You get it out of your working memory, so it’s no longer part of the free-floating anxiety cloud around you.【2】. Once it’s out of your head, it won’t distract you.
●Meditate (冥想)
【3】. Just breathe in, breathe out. Try this for five to fifteen minutes each day. As you get into this practice, most find their minds are in fact an incredibly noisy and distracting place. Loads of ideas are always popping up. This is normal, though. The real value is in noticing every time your mind wanders, you bring your attention back.
●Listen
Focused listening is a life skill, one that can be applied in many areas.【4】. When you do this, you’ll discover that deep listening is HARD WORK and requires brain power.
●Read difficult works
Read long-form pieces of work at a slow, deliberate pace. Reading difficult material successfully requires real concentration and determination, and your willpower will grow accordingly.
Focus is a skill you can nurture in yourself.【5】. The more you work on it, the more focused you will stay.
A．You can cross things out, one by one
B．Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary
C．It takes effort, but the results are well worth it
D．One simple practice is to focus on your breathing
E．Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power
F．You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus
G．It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly
23、Infectious disease is all around us. Disease-causing agents, such as viruses, usually have specific targets. Some viruses affect only humans; other viruses live in or affect only animals. Problems start when animal viruses are able to infect people as well, a process known as zoonosis. When an animal virus passes to a human, the results can be fatal. Often our immune systems are not accustomed to these viruses and are unable to stop them before they harm us, and even kill us.
In the last three decades, more than 30 zoonotic diseases have emerged around the globe. HIV is an example. It evolved from a virus originally carried by African monkeys, and later chimps. Today conservative estimates suggest that HIV has infected more than 70 million people in the past three decades, though this number may be higher. SARS, a type of flu that jumped from chickens to humans is another type of zoonotic disease.
But how do these viruses pass from animals to humans? Contact is crucial. Human destruction of animal habitats, for example, is forcing wild animals to move closer to places people live - putting humans at risk for exposure to animal viruses. The closer humans are to animals, the greater the risk of being bitten, scratched or exposed to animal waste which can enable a virus to pass from an animal to a human. Raising animals (for example, on a farm) or keeping certain kinds of animal and wild animals (like monkeys) as pets increases the risk of exposure. Eating animals that are diseased can also result in the virus being transmitted.
The factor that is probably most responsible for the spread of some zoonotic diseases worldwide is international travel. In 1999, for example, a deadly disease - one that had never been seen before in the western hemisphere - appeared in the United States. There were several incidences that year of both birds and people becoming sick and dying in New York City, and doctors could not explain why. Subsequently, they discovered that the deaths had been caused by the same thing: the West Nile virus, found typically in birds and transmitted by mosquitoes that live in parts of northern Africa. Somehow this virus probably carried by an infected mosquito or bird on a plane or ship arrived in the US. Now, birds and mosquitoes native to North America are carriers of this virus as well.
Today researchers are working to create vaccines for many of these zoonotic diseases in the hope of controlling their impact on humans. Other specialists are trying to make communities more aware of disease prevention and treatment and to help people understand that we are all-humans, animals, and insects-in this together.
【1】Which of the following ways of transmitting disease is called zoonotic?
A．A flu from a mother to a child.
B．Viruses from a monkey to a boy.
C．A cough from one student to another.
D．Blood from one person to another.
【2】According to the passage, what is most probably to blame for zoonotic diseases which spread wide?
A．Exposure to animal waste and sneezes.
B．Raising pets at home and shaking hands.
C．Contact with animals and long distance travel.
D．Being scratched by animals and stung by mosquitoes.
【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．a zoonotic disease is complicated but curable
B．animals prefer places close to where people live
C．vaccines are effective in dealing with any kind of disease
D．education can help address the potential infections disease
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．The travel that is fatal
B．The virus that threatens
C．The diseases that dominates
D．The vaccines that are being developed
24、Fanning is a musician and hotel owner born in Ireland, and now he lives deep in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. “The Irish have a song and play music nearly every day.” Said Fanning. “Every weekend, my family will play music in the house.” Like Fanning, many people in the area continue the traditions from their family’s immigrant history, including a kind of music called old-time.
Old-time music comes from the Appalachian Mountains, a system of mountains along the eastern part of the United States. In the 18th century, many Europeans from Ireland, Scotland, and Germany arrived in the area to begin new lives. Reflecting the cultures that settled there, the roots of old-time music are in the traditional music of these European countries. Although the US became their home, these Appalachian communities continued the European music and dance traditions they loved. Over time, the music mixed with that of African slaves and became what is now called old-time music.
The earliest purpose of the music was for dancing. Life in the mountains was hard work. Music and dancing provided the Appalachians with a much needed break from the labor of the day. And it brought people of different generations together. In small Appalachian towns in the past, there was always a musician in the neighborhood. Young people would study the art under him or her.
Old-time music is learned by ear. It’s a much more arduous kind of music than other music. There’re no written notes, so people have to learn it all by ear and try to reproduce the sound. Therefore, it needs more time and effort to master it. Old-time musicians might not read music, but they can easily put a song together.
Old-time songs mainly describe what happened in the past. Some called “spiritual” are based in the the Christain religion. Others are American civil war songs. And, many are about the life and land that surround the songwriter. But some of the earliest songs go back to the music’s European roots.
These days, oid-time music is not often heard over the radio. But it still lives on strongly in the communities where it came from.
【1】What can we learn from Fanning’s words?
A．Music is a part of his daily life.
B．their music is popular in America.
C．Music reminds them of their history.
D．Music unites people of different races.
【2】What is old-time music made up of?
A．American music and European music.
B．Ancient European and Indian music.
C．European music and African music.
D．Music created in the 18th century.
【3】What was the original function of old-time music?
A．Killing free time and educating the young.
B．Entertaining people and linking generations.
C．Encouraging hard work and recording history.
D．Building healthy lifestyles and uniting nations.
【4】What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Traditional.
B．Difficult.
C．Popular.
D．Varied.
【5】What is old-time music mainly about?
A．Natural beauty.
B．Love stories.

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home, he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time, he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him. The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station.
Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir,” the farmer answered timidly(胆怯地).
“Have you killed the man?”
“No, no, sir,” the farmer said in a hurry.
“When did you see the dead man?”
“About seven last evening.”
“Did you see who killed the man?” “No, sir.”
The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it yet?” “No, sir.” The officer became angry and told the policeman to beat him up and send him into prison. The officer wanted to trap the farmer into the confession(供认), but the farmer didn’t admit he was the murderer.
