21、A June storm dumped six inches of rain over Columbia in Missouri with little warning — causing floodwaters from rivers to burst the banks and overflow zones to be turned into ponds.
When 15-year-old Dominic Viet and 16-year-old Joseph Diener passed a basketball court that had turned into a pool, they heard the terrified shouting of a young woman desperately trying to keep her head above water under the force of a current. The boys had seen the young woman swimming with a friend there before, but it was now obvious that she was drowning.
“The first thing that came into my mind was to get into the water,” Dominic told CNN. “We didn’t have time to think. Her head was barely above the water and we could see her sinking more down every second. We didn’t think about the risks. We had to get her out.” Lifting her up onto their shoulders, Dominic and Joseph got her ashore, where emergency services arriving at someone else’s call performed first aid and rushed her to the hospital.
The fire department will honor the two boys with a “Citizen Life Safety Award”. Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Jenkins described the boys’ act as heroic, as did Dominic’s mom, who had been calling her son for some time before and was growing nervous. She sent her husband to check on his position, but when he arrived, he saw ambulances and fire trucks from the call that was meant to rescue the young woman. “I thought of the worst. He was on a bike and people weren’t paying attention and my fear was that he was going to pull up and see our son on the ground,” said Dominic’s mom. “But then I got a text from Dominic saying ‘Coning home soon, just saved a woman’s life, Mom.’”
“Floodwaters are no conditions to swim in. There can be sewage (污水) runoff, loose chemicals, downed power lines charging the current with electricity, or pieces of wood, metal, or brick, etc.” warned Jerry Jenkins.
【1】What was the two boys' first reaction upon hearing the woman’s shout?
A．They were too terrified to remove.
B．They performed first aid on her.
C．They called emergency services.
D．They risked their own lives to save her.
【2】Which of the following words can best describe the two boys?
A．Helpful and brave.
B．Humorous and polite.
C．Generous and molest.
D．Ambitious and gifted.
【3】What message does Jerry Jenkins mainly try to convey in the last paragraph?
A．It is quite necessary to learn to swim.
B．Floodwaters have various potential dangers.
C．It is rather unpopular to swim in floodwaters.
D．Knowing life-saving skills is of great importance.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Terrible Storm
B．A Special Award
C．A Drowning Woman
D．Two Teenage Heroes
22、The Enduring Appeal of Peter Rabbit
“I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits, whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter,” wrote Beatrix Potter, an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist in 1893, in a letter to a little boy who was suffering from a serious infectious disease.
Like many children-story authors, Potter was not a writer by profession. Her chief enthusiasm was natural history. Childhood family holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District had given her the freedom to experience the natural world first-hand. 【1】 Owing to Potter’s illustrations, the humanized rabbits seemed to exist in a recognizably real place. As Potter once admitted, the “careful botanical studies of my youth” informed the reality of her fantasy drawings. 【2】 In these images, Peter in the vegetable garden ate radishes (萝卜) or jumped off the wall.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902. 【3】 However, Warne disagreed. Only after Potter had the book privately published did Warne change his mind. It was an immediate success, much to Potter’s surprise. “The public must be fond of rabbits! What a shocking quantity of Peter,” she said. The original tales, under the Warne imprint, are still available today.
【4】 In 1903, she registered a Peter Rabbit doll, making him the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy. After that, there were licensed wallpapers, board games and painting books. She earned large amounts of money. After her death, almost all her property was left to the National Trust.
A．Potter surely had a business mind.
B．A decade later, with slight adjustments, the lines formed the opening to what became the bestselling.
C．It was this experience that gave Peter Rabbit its unique atmosphere of believable wonder.
D．Potter was determined that the book should be small enough to fit into a child’s hands and inexpensive.
E．She spent holidays in the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, which she closely observed and painted.
F．Though her later stories would contain more strikingly detailed illustrations, The Tale of Peter Rabbit has charming pictures of its naughty hero.
23、Thailand’s “loneliest tree”, a tree growing on a rocky island only a few meters in diameter, is being seriously threatened by tourists desperate to get a selfie (自拍) with it.
The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic. The uninhabited island is quite a sight to behold, as it is home to a lonely tree that struggle to live despite being surrounded by salt water. Unfortunately, the tree’s popularity might just be the death of it.
On Tuesday, the Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization led a team of Thai reporters to Koh Khai Hua Roh in order to observe the country’s loneliest tree. They knew that photos of the lonely tree shared on social media had been attracting an increasing number of tourists to the island, but they had no idea how much damage that could produce.
According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.
Koh Khai Hua Roh island is so tiny that it can only accommodate up to five people at a time, but local authorities admit that selfie-addicted tourists sometimes crowd there in much greater numbers, with some even climbing the poor tree.
The Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization plans to kickstart an educational campaign to hopefully teach people to conserve iconic landmarks like Thailand’s loneliest tree. It also plans to take more drastic actions, like restricting the number of tourists allowed to visit the island and making the island only accessible in certain seasons.
【1】The name of the island is related to .
A．a lonely tree
B．a popular comic
C．a controversial selfie
D．a threatened tourist
【2】How is the loneliest tree according to The Nation?
A．It is under protection.
B．It proves inaccessible
C．It has become less popular.
D．It is in a really bad state.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Ways to establish landmarks.
B．Measures to advertise the island.
C．Responses to the damage from tourists.
D．Actions to attract more tourists.
【4】From which is this text most probably taken?
A．A geography textbook.
B．A news report.
C．A health magazine.
D．A travel guide.
24、Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently.
“A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply”, neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the “money wasn’t mine to begin with” and that he always intended to give it away.
The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel’s donation was extremely generous. “It’s allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel’s wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid,” Herkert told TODAY.
After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua（吉娃娃犬）. Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.
Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they’d be there to help out in any way needed.
【1】Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.
A．how Gremel earned the money
B．what kind of person Gremel is
C．why Gremel made the donation
D．where Gremel has been living
【2】What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?
A．He raised many pet dogs in his life.
B．He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.
C．He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.
D．He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.
【3】What can we infer about Gremel’s neighbors from the text?
A．They live in harmony with animals.
B．They are impressed with dog Winnie.
C．They lead a healthy and wealthy life.
D．They are caring and kind to each other.
