22、   The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years. This is a page turnerwith complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures.

On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.

Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.

The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world.

I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.

【1】The underlined words "a page turner" probably mean that the book is________.

A．abstract

B．difficult

C．ridiculous

D．exciting

【2】The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in________.

A．the beauty of language

B．the history of the Taliban

C．the culture of immigrants

D．the reflection of humanity

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America.

B．The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir.

C．The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures.

D．The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society.

【4】What type of writing is the passage?

A．A review of a book.

B．An introduction to a book

C．A summary of a book.

D．An advertisement of a book.

23、When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionary’s staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.

The word’s definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find ‘irregardless’ to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ‘regardless’ stronger.”

“It’s not a real word. I don’t care what the dictionary says.” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning to mark “irregardless” as incorrect on her students’ work.

An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre’s commentary on Saturday: “‘Irregardless’ is too a word; you just don’t understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it’s not. It’s just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from.”

“The dictionary’s recognition doesn’t enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here’s what we know about it.” So it’s a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.

【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A．To criticize the use of “irregardless”.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To make a definition of “irregardless”.

D．To give an example.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．“Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.

B．The dictionary’s staff rarely record the English language.

C．Michelle Ray thinks the use of “irregardless” formal but incorrect.

D．People are still not encouraged to use “irregardless” in formal writing.

【3】What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictionary?

A．Favorable.

B．Conservative.

C．Indifferent.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．“Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Formal Writing

B．“Irregardless” Shouldn’t Be Included in the Dictionary

C．Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a Word

D．Experts Can’t Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless”

24、Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some extraordinary helpers. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.

As a shelter for many sea creatures, sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as seagrass meadows (海草床), which help clean the ocean water. More importantly, they are called “ocean lung”. They help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon—the major source of global warming. Damaging these seagrass meadows can release this pollutant again, making things worse.

Considering the urgent need to protect seagrass meadows, scientists are eager to know about their size and number. However, the meadows can be hard to spot from above, either because the water is too deep or not clear enough. And the ocean is so huge that it’s hard to study them by diving. So scientists decided to have tiger sharks help the research.

Tiger sharks are inborn fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in seagrass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks, and then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles. Moreover, other tools were used, including satellite images, as well as images taken by divers and boats.

Putting all this information together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest seagrass meadow ever discovered. And the meadows cover at least 25,500 square miles, and could be as large as 35,500 square miles.

Different from previous studies, the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley, a scientist from the team, says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.

【1】Why do seagrass meadows urgently need protection?

A．Damaging them will worsen climate crisis.

B．They determine the cleanliness of ocean water.

C．Sea creatures can’t survive without their shelter.

D．Their existence balances the underwater ecosystem.

【2】How did tiger sharks help the scientific research?

A．By tracking signals scientists sent.

B．By bringing back cameras with videos.

C．By carrying the recording equipment around.

D．By spending a lot of time in seagrass meadows.

【3】What is the highlight about the research according to the text?

A．Leading scientists.

B．Advanced theories.

C．Multiple experimental tools.

D．Unusual research assistants.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Man and Nature Work Together

B．A Novel Way to Explore the Sea

C．Sea Grass: An Undervalued Plant

D．Ocean Lung Measured by Natural Explorers

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Light a lamp and we can warm a heart. Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others and cursed his own misfortune. Having stayed in the city for years, he thought he accomplished nothing.

One day, he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave it immediately. So, his family moved to another city, which he thought would bring good fortune to him. However, it was not easy for people to move to another place, for they had to handle quantities of stuffs and encounter many strangers. The whole family reached there in the evening of a weekend, with their clothes almost wet. It was a tough rainy night. The wind was howling dreadfully and the rain was pouring from the heaven, beating against the branches of lined trees on the road. The world was swallowed with a sea of darkness. Tired and wet, they didn’t have time to have supper. Terry and his wife were busily tidying up their new home when the light suddenly went out. Worse still, the sudden darkness scared his children to cry immediately. Terry’s wife hurried to hug them to ease their tension. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a low mood.

Just then, he heard heavy but hesitant knocks on his door that could be clearly heard in the thundering night. Instantly, all the family were totally silent, for they were all curious about the knocks. “Who’s it?” Terry asked, since they were newcomers to this city there must be nobody who knew them. Tired and busy, he especially hated to be disturbed at the moment, so he dragged his legs slowly to the door and opened it impatiently. Actually, Terry didn’t realize his negative behavior would have a bad effect on his children at all! Outside the window, the wind and the thundering ruled the world entirely in their power.
