21、   Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet.

The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking at an alarming rate - about 3. 3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group Eco Peace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.

"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea: it's more like the whole area,” said photographer Moritz Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series "The Dying Dead Sea”.

The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.

Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products.

And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.

But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters

The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.

【1】How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the text?

A.One B.Two

C.Three D.Four

【2】What can we learn about the Dead Sea 's minerals?

A.They have practical value.

B.They are controlled by Israel.

C.They can be extracted very easily.

D.They are mainly used in heavy industry.

【3】What does the underlined word "replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.To clean something. B.To improve something.

C.To fill something again. D.To find something again.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.What we should do to save the Dead Sea. B.More people travel to the Dead Sea.

C.Why the Dead Sea is salty. D.The Dead Sea is drying out.

22、   When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the anxious runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again. “It was too scared to run,” he said.

Indeed, although Panek had been running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too difficult. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.

Even so, he lost the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from completing a course on his own. “When you’re tied to another person, it’s no longer your own race.” the 48-year-old said. “The independence isn’t quite there.”

But Panek found a friend—indeed, man’s best friend—who would help him regain that sense of purpose. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually damaged.

On March 16, Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marathon. In that moment, they were both recorded into the history books. Panek, who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes, became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.

Panek pointed out that it wasn’t just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes. In all, three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line. Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early parts of the course, each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21-kilometer race. Along the way, the whole team got plenty of support from event host New York Road Runners.

With retirement approaching, it would be the faithful yellow labrador’s last race. But for Panek, the road ahead remains long and bright—not only for him, but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.

【1】What happened to Panek 25 years ago?

A.He gave up his dream. B.He became blind.

C.He found running blind easy. D.He won the first prize.

【2】From the passage, we know that Gus _________.

A.is an instructor of Panek

B.is a good marathon competitor

C.is a dog for the visually damaged

D.is an organizer of the running event

【3】Which of the following can best describe Panek?

A.Firm and positive. B.Kind and confident.

C.Calm and faithful. D.Honest and ambitious.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.Failure is the mother of success.

B.Where there is a will, there is a way.

C.All things are difficult before they are easy.

D.We can make a difference by helping others.

23、   It was Halloween（万圣节）, which is a big deal when you’re seven. I was sitting in my Sleeping Beauty costume, eagerly waiting for my dad to come home so he could take me to go trick or treating. My father had been away on a business trip. He was supposed to return earlier that day, but it was midnight…Finally I nodded off.

The next morning I guessed that my mom had already known something I didn’t find out for another couple of days. It was my dad who had a new identity（身份）: plane crash survivor. He told us about it later. It had been raining as he got on the plane for home. The plane was cleared for taking off on one runway but turned too far and ended up taking off on another runway, which was closed. Because of the rain, the pilot couldn’t see the heavy construction equipment（施工设施）blocking the runway, and the plane crashed right into it. The left wing was torn off, the fuselage（机身）split in two, and fire shot through the plane. Nearly half of the passengers died, but amazingly, my dad was unhurt. He couldn’t breathe because of the smoke, so he ran toward the exit and walked out.

My father told me when the plane crashed, he first thought of us. As sad as he felt at the thought of never seeing us again, he also felt a sense of relief（解脱）that all his business and financial（财务的）worries would be over. When he survived, he saw it as a second chance. He valued his second life, so he sold his business and started a new one. Now he is a successful businessman. I’m so proud of my dad for this.

【1】The author was waiting for her father to return home so she could ________.

A.share his business trip story. B.buy a Sleeping Beauty costume with him.

C.listen to his trick-or-treating stories. D.celebrate Halloween with him.

A.a fire broke out in it. B.the pilot couldn’t see the runway clearly.

C.it turned onto a wrong runway. D.it hit a building while taking off.

【3】Why did the author’s dad feel a sense of relief as the plane crashed?

A.He thought everyone would die.

B.He thought he wouldn’t be troubled by his business problems.

C.He thought he wouldn’t have to be controlled by his boss.

D.He thought he could escape the quarrels with his wife.

【4】Which saying does the experience of the author’s father match?

A.You are blessed if surviving a disaster.

B.Life is short and time is flying.

C.Where there is a will, there is a way.

D.Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

24、Have you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.

1. The Kite Runner

This realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.

2. The Book Thief

Let’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.

3. The Fault in Our Stars

This is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.

4. A Child Called “It”

Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.

【1】What do the four books have in common?

A. They are all about cruel wars.

B. They all probably make you cry.

C. They are all about suffering children.

D. They are all adapted from true stories.

【2】Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly?

A. The Kite Runner   B. A Child Called “It”

C. The Fault in Our Stars   D. The Book Thief

【3】The passage is intended to __________.

C. explain why we love reading   D. introduce some moving books

25、When I came to the USA I started to work as an electrician, with an Albanian man. We used to work a lot, and every day after work we had to do the _________.
