21、Day 1
I first heard of “Show Racism (种族歧视) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it’s an organization which uses professional (职业的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (赞助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄榄球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.
Day 4
We’re making our way up to the base camp — that’s where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we’ll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (悬索桥). One of them was so high that you couldn’t see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.
Day 10
Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn’t find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.
Day 11
Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we’d just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we’d played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What’s really important is that we did it and we’ve raised a load of money.
【1】The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill’s work, he _____.
A. got a big shock
B. accepted his request
C. looked down upon Jill
D. spread the news to 20 people

B. It was a bit competitive.
C. It ended because someone was injured.
D. It was held on the top of Mount Everest.
【3】The author’s trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.
A. frightening and fruitless
B. relaxing and interesting
C. hard but successful
D. short but fantastic
22、 “I don’t want to sigh when I get an invitation in the mail, but I can’t help it,” Susan, aged 30, tells us. “I want to go, but how do I explain I can’t?” Weddings are supposed to be about fun and togetherness — a time to get together and celebrate a huge life milestone.
However, more and more, they’ve become a source of tension and distance. When wedding season approaches and another wave of wedding invites start to roll in, many millennials are facing an uncomfortable truth – they’re just too expensive.
Because it’s not just the wedding. It’s the engagement party, the gifts and the airfare in the middle of high season to a destination wedding. The average bachelor party now costs an eye-watering $1,532 and the average bachelorette party isn’t far behind at $1,106, and that’s before we even get to the wedding, which, by the way, costs the average guest $1,386. It doesn’t matter how many times the thrifty among us can restyle the same old jumpsuit because the money you’re saving isn’t going to touch your Air BNB bill.
It’s no surprise that more people are saying no to wedding invitations because of the cost. And who can blame them? It’s hard to see another solution. It’s natural to want everyone you care about to be at your wedding, but it’s also understandable if you can’t afford to fly to three different weddings during six weeks.
The wedding machinery shows no signs of slowing down, so all we can do is have a little more sympathy. If you’re throwing a wedding, try to be sensitive about the cost and understanding when someone just can’t make it. We have to create more socially acceptable ways of celebrating a marriage without spending a month’s salary to be there to celebrate the big day. It really should be the thought that counts.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.The average bachelor. B.The expensive wedding.
C.The economical people D.The saved money.
【2】Why do most people want to decline the wedding invitations?
A.The weddings are too costly to attend. B.They don’t care about the wedding.
C.They don’t have enough time to go. D.The weddings are often disappointing.
【3】According to the passage, what idea may the author agree with?
A.People should spend a month’s salary to prepare a gift.
B.When throwing a wedding, people should be thoughtful.
C.A luxurious wedding contributes to a good marriage.
D.Wedding invitations should go unnoticed.
【4】Which could be the best title of this passage?
A.Weddings are about fun and togetherness.
B.It is an art to say no to wedding invitations.
C.Millennials are facing more and more tension.
D.Wedding invitations bring joy and burden to Millennials.
23、 When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up one of my Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl, ” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
【1】What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?
A.Look at them sadly.
B.Play games with them.
C.Keep them company.
D.Touch them gently.
【2】Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?
A.She was treated as a member of the family.
B.She played games with anyone she liked.
C.She went everywhere with the family.
D.She was loved by everybody she met.
【3】Which of the following best describes Brownie?
A.Caring.
B.Polite.
C.Brave.
D.Shy.
24、More people are watching birds today than ever before; its popularity as a hobby has been growing rapidly over the past few years. But why do people take up bird-watching? 【1】
It’s year-round. Unlike many hobbies, birding is non-seasonal. 【2】 Spring is the best season for birds to migrate and nest; in summer, you can see and hear young birds and observe local breeding birds before they’re gone again; fall migration brings its own excitement and changes in bird populations; in winter, you can enjoy feeding birds and watching the birds that over-winter in the area.
It’s economical. The degree of your involvement is up to you.
【3】 No expensive equipment is necessary to enjoy watching birds. All you need may be a good field guide and a proper binocular (双筒望远镜). Anything more is optional.
【4】The more you learn about birds, their needs, and the challenges many species face, the more concerned and involved you’re likely to become in supporting wildlife habitat conservation and restoration efforts. This involvement can be on many levels, from making sure your own property poet birds and other wildlife to educating others about the needs of bird populations.
It often leads down other paths. Watching birds in many cases causes involvement in other interests. 【5】 Many people also develop an interest in wildflowers or dragonflies(蜻蜓). An increasing number of bird watchers travel to see birds. There are bird and nature festivals and bird-watching tours to birding hotspots all over the world. Birding, therefore, could turn you into a world traveler!
A.It involves walking in nature.
B.It might change with the seasons.
C.It promotes habitat conservation.
D.And so is the cost of being involved.
E.Bird watchers these days are often butterfly watchers, too.
F.You may start watching birds or feeding them in your yard.
G.The following are some reasons for becoming a bird watcher.
25、Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure that T.J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
By high school, T.J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekend leadership retreat(活动). All the students at school had been invited to_________ ACE training, a program designed to have students become more_________ in their communities.
At the start of the retreat, T. J. was_________ standing outside the circle of students. He didn’t _________ join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games_________ him in. The other students in T. J. group _________ his comments. All of a sudden, T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a _________. By the end of the retreat, he had_________ the Homeless Project team. The other students _________ T.J. co-chairman of the team.
When T. J. __________ at school on Monday morning, he faced a firestorm. A group of teachers were__________ to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The very first communitywide service project was to be a giant food__________. These teachers couldn’t believe that the principal would allow the important plan to stay in the__________ hands of T.J. Ware. Mr. Coggshall__________ them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce(加强) its practice until true __________ can take place.
Two weeks later, T.J. and his friends led a group of 70 students in a project to collect__________ They collected a school__________: 2854 cans of food in just two hours. The local newspaper covered the__________ with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper__________ was posted on the main bulletin board at school.
