21、When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.

One day, I was shadowing（跟随）my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic（模仿）her mouth's movements until I formed a word.

It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.

People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.

Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men?" At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.

But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕）, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.

And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations - I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.

【1】How does the author view his hearing difficulty?

A. It's a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.

B. It gave him a chance to experience something special.

C. It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.

D. It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage about the author?

A. He was born deaf.

B. He is optimistic and helpful.

C. His family and classmates have supported him a lot.

D. The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.

【3】What is the author's attitude toward his life？

A. grateful.   B. anxious.

C. excited.   D. disappointed.

【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?

A. To give advice on life to disabled people.

B. To show how difficult life is for disabled people.

C. To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.

D. To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.

22、Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent（出租）a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommate easy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

【1】If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.

23、Police officer Jody Thompson first met his son John in 2015. He was pulling into the car park at the Poteau Police Department in Oklahoma when he overheard a call about a case of physical child abuse. Despite being off duty, Thompson responded to the call.

He arrived at the scene to find a severely underweight boy, who was covered in bruises (淤青) with his wrists tied. The eight-year-old, who weighed just over 25 kilograms at the time, had been left in a dustbin full of cold water.

“He didn’t have a spot on his body that didn’t have a bruise. It was the worst thing I’d ever seen,” Thompson said. Thompson drove John to hospital and sat by his side all night as the child recovered in the intensive care unit.

The following day, he contacted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) to request he become the child’s foster parent. Within just a few days, Thompson had brought John into the safety of his own home.

“When I’d seen him in that house shivering and his hands tied — just wet to the skin and confused — I knew at that moment, the only time I would be satisfied and sure that he was safe was if he was with me,” he said.

Thompson already had two sons, aged 15 and 18. He didn’t tell his family about his plan at first, but said they had faith he was doing the right thing. In an extraordinary twist, just two days after bringing John into the family home, he found out his wife was pregnant with their third biological son.

And seven months later, DHS called the Thompsons to ask if they wanted to foster John’s newborn sister, Paizly, who was born in prison. They picked her up the next day — when she was just a day old — and brought her straight home. Both John and Paizly were later adopted by Thompson and his wife.

‘The example of love that Thompson has shown to this young man and his sister is an example everyone should follow,” Poteau Police Chief Stephen Fruen said in a statement. “It’s men like Thompson that make me proud of our police force brothers and sisters. I am proud to serve with him.”

【1】When Thompson found him, John was________.

A．seriously ill

B．badly injured

C．unconscious

D．overweight

【2】The reason that Thompson decided to bring John back home was that________.

A．he wanted to give John a safe home

B．he thought that John was smart

C．he was requested to do so by DHS

D．he wanted to find a companion for his sons

【3】The underlined word “twist” in the sixth paragraph most probably means________.

A．a bend in a river or road

B．a completely crazy situation

C．something that is bent into a particular shape

D．an unexpected change in the situation

【4】What can we infer from what Poteau Police Chief Stephen Fruen said in the last paragraph of the article?

A．It wasn’t the first time for Thompson to adopt a child.

B．John was born in prison like his sister.

C．Fruen showed great respect to Thompson.

D．Thompson regretted bringing John home.

24、Naismith was born on November 6, 1861, in Ontario, Canada. After earning a bachelor's (学士) degree in physical education at McGill University, he moved to the US to pursue a career. He took up a job at the YMCA International Training College in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was there that he made a plan for an entertaining game that could be played indoors, especially during the cruelly cold winters.

When creating the rules of basketball, Naismith took inspiration from several of the then-popular sports such as rugby (橄榄球), soccer, baseball, and football. The idea of passing the ball was drawn from American rugby, and the shape of the ball was influenced by soccer balls. And in 1891, the well-loved sport of basketball came to life, and Naismith named it "Basket Ball".

In December 1891, the first-ever basketball game was played. The game followed a set of thirteen instructions written by Naismith himself, and players played for two fifteen-minute rounds with a five-minute break in between.

Interestingly, the hoop was a simple fruit basket nailed to the wall, and it was several years later, that an opening was cut at the bottom of the basket! Initially, the game involved tackling until Naismith realized that the players were knocking each other and getting violent. So, he introduced the idea of dribbling (运球) and passing. However, familiar basketball positions, such as forwards, centers, and guards were present since the first game.

Throughout the years, the original list of thirteen rules written by Naismith was printed all across the country. High schools and colleges introduced basketball into their athletics program, and by 1905, basketball was officially recognized as a winter sport. Basketball was adopted in other countries. In 1936, basketball was added to the Olympics Games in Berlin, Germany. According to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), there are 44 million people around the world who play basketball, making this sport the second most popular in the world!

【1】What was the aim of Naismith of inventing the basketball?

A．To create a new career for graduates.

B．To win his bachelor's degree in PE.

C．To entertain himself at home.

D．To play indoors in rough weather.

【2】What do we know about the first basketball game?

A．Naismith made an opening at the basket's bottom.

B．Players could rest after playing for half an hour.

C．Naismith worked as the judge himself at the game.

D．Players obeyed the rules made by Naismith.

【3】What made Naismith introduce the idea of dribbling and passing?

A．The possibility of violence in games.

B．The need to make the game attractive.

C．The desire to involve more players.

D．The requirement for players to play freely.

【4】What does the last paragraph focus on about basketball?

A．Its Olympic history.

B．Its original rules.

C．Its widespread popularity.

D．Its official recognition.
