22、Sports fans around the world are struggling to reconcile with the sudden loss of American basketball icon Kobe Bryant. The 41-year-old died on January 26, 2020, when his private helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California — about 30 miles away from Los Angele. The crash also killed eight other passengers including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. The extremely heavy fog condition is believed to have been a major factor.
Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year-basketball career as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, was born in Philadelphia. The basketball star, who decided to turn professional after graduating from high school, was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick, and then traded to the Lakers. At just 18 years old, he was the youngest player to be drafted in NBA history. The trade proved to be lucky for the Lakers. By his third year, Bryant had moved from being a reserve to the starting lineup. He had also firmly established himself as a star. In 2000, Bryant led the Lakers to their first NBA championship since 1988. The dream team continued to dominate the league for the next two years.
In addition to helping the Lakers win two additional NBA titles in 2009 and 2010, Bryant was also a member of the basketball team responsible for bringing home the Olympic Gold medals in 2008 and 2012. By the time he retired in 2016, the 18-time NBA All-Star had played a total of 1,560 games and scored an astounding 33,043 points — a record surpassed by only three players Kareem Abdul-Jabar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), and James (33,655) —in the NBA’s 73-year history.
Though there are many ways to honor Bryant, the best way to pay tribute to one of the greatest sports heroes of all time may be to follow his philosophy on life: “Life is too short to be discouraged. You have to keep moving. Put one foot in front of the other, smile, and just keep on rolling.” — Kobe Bryant, 2008.
【1】According to the passage, what probably caused the accident?
A．Bad weather.
B．Mechanical failure.
C．The operational error.
D．High mountains.
【2】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Kobe Bryant turned professional player in high school.
B．Kobe Bryant was always in the Lakers’ starting line-up at 18.
C．The Lakers won their first NBA championship in 2000.
D．Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in 2002.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE of Kobe Bryant?
A．He took part in the 2016 Olympic Games.
B．He was the first NBA All-Star in history.
C．Having scored 33,043 points, he ranked fourth in the NBA’s 73-year history.
D．He was the first shooting guard in NBA history
【4】Which of the following ideas CANNOT be inferred from Kobe Bryant’s philosophy on life?
A．Life is like riding a bicycle and to keep your balance, you must keep moving.
B．Optimism plays an essential role in one’s success.
C．A good beginning makes a good ending.
D．Great achievements are accomplished by perseverance.
23、I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it.

24、According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．
She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15 year old son seems more grown up in many ways than his contemporaries．
Not all products of single child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only child upbringing．
She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．
Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．
However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．
【1】The passage is written with the purpose of ________．
A．illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B．analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C．presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D．guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？
A．Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．
B．All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．
C．Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．
D．People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．
【3】From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．
A．journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B．she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction
C．it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D．some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
【4】What can be inferred from the passage？
A．It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．
B．Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．
C．Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．
D．Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．

My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. __________, at the point in our game when I'd have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ____________7 to 9—and Ed was __________. The sudden realization was painful. We continued to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up, I was having serious______________about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone______________that many points. When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to move . In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but cousin Ed my __________.
