21、After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest paralympians would not be taking part.
She was a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spina bifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down, Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.
Indeed, Tanni’s athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 meters at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.
In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 meters. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 meters relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.
Tanni’s enduring (持续的) success has been part motivation, part preparation. “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter (短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to race… I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”
Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish was to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics — a top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.
What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again.”
【1】Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?
A.Basketball.
B.Swimming.
C.Tennis.
D.Horse-riding.
【2】When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?
A.In 1984.
B.In 1988.
C.In 1992.
D.In 2007.
【3】What’s the right order of the events related to Tanni?
a. She works as a coach.
b. She took up athletics.
c. She won four gold medals in Barcelona.
d. She competed in her first Paralympic Games.
e. She achieved a victory in her first London Wheelchair Marathon
A.b, d, c, e, a
B.a, d, b, c, e
C.a, d, c, e, b
D.b, d, a, e, c
【4】What can we learn from Tanni’s success?
A.Union is strength.
B.Never too late to learn
C.Well begun is half done.
D.No pains, no gains.
22、More educators and researchers are bringing attention to misinformation (错误信息) through the internet and social media. Teaching media literacy (素养) can be a problem. Those against teaching internet literacy say it’s the same as thought control, which prevents some teachers from using it in class.
Erin, a mother from Massachusetts who has worked as a reporter, said that media literacy is a skill as important as computer engineering for the economy. She created a nonprofit group called Media Literacy Now to support digital literacy education. “Basic communication is part of our information economy, and there will be huge implications for our economy if we don’t get this right,” she said.
Shawn Lee. who teaches social studies in Seattle, Washington, has taught about double -checking online reports, getting information from more than a few places and using critical (批评的) thinking. He also created an organization for teachers to share experiences.
Teaching internet literacy to fight misinformation may be more effective than new laws. Some US states have added new standards for teaching internet literacy. Subjects can include how the internet and social media work, how to find misinformation by looking at many sources. Other ways of identifying misinformation might include looking for missing background information or recognizing emotional headlines.
Media and internet literacy is taught around the world. Finland and Canada have developed programs over the years to teach young people about the media. The goal is to get young people to understand what in the news and on the internet is a fact, and what isn’t.
Media and internet literacy is often compared to driver’s education. “We need speed limits, we need well designed roads and good regulations to ensure cars are safe. But we also teach people how to drive safely,” a director of education Johnson said.
This combination of government, industry and educators is considered the model that is needed for internet and media literacy. Education is needed for an effective answer to fight internet misinformation.
【1】What’s the view of people against teaching internet literacy?
A.It needs laws to prove its effect.
B.It adds to teachers’ heavy work.
C.It’s like controlling people’s thought.
D.It may face strong criticism of parents.
【2】What has Shawn done to support internet literacy?
A.He’s created Media Literacy Now.
B.He’s taught students critical thinking.
C.He’s invented online double checking.
D.He’s asked teachers to share experiences.
【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.What’s been done about online literacy.
B.What effect online literacy has on us.
C.How we can stop misinformation online.
D.How we could beat online misinformation.
【4】What does Johnson think about teaching internet literacy?
A.People should learn about safe surfing.
B.It should be covered in driver’s education.
C.It calls for the efforts of online education.
D.Finland and Canada have experience in this.
23、Calendars are for managing your time. They work overtime to keep the messiness of human life confined into neat little grids, squeezing our lives into seconds, minutes and hours. I appreciate a calendar’s determined efforts to manage time. 【1】 For the past several years, I’ve kept a planner with me at all times. The real magic in planners, to me, comes in the blank space where I reflect on the past and imagine the future. Cracking open a fresh week’s layout on a Monday morning and seeing the empty pages expand like a canvas waiting to be filled, the tone of the week yet to be set, the possibilities endless.
You start by creating a wish list for your ideal life. The idea is to be as specific as possible. You then pick the one goal that would have the biggest positive impact. You break that goal down into smaller tasks, and then prioritize them. 【2】 This method turns a general idea in your head into something that you can actually accomplish. From there, you can reflect every month on how you spent your time, and whether what you did actually is consistent with the goals you set.
【3】 It leaves no digital footprint, but it does leave a paper trail that you can look back on for years to come. It doesn’t buzz impatiently when you don’t look at it, and it will not be exported to Outlook. It requires you to sit in quiet conversation with yourself, reflecting on your past and visualizing your future. It forces me to answer hard truths, like what do I really want out of life and am I spending my days in line with who I want to be. 【4】
Planning helps me ensure that I’m not a passenger at the mercy of my calendar, but rather driving toward a destination that I choose. 【5】 And some really nice pens.
A.Then, add those tasks to the calendar.
B.There’s no pressure to make it perfect.
C.But planners are for dreaming without limits.
D.It’s easy to appreciate calendars for their usefulness.
E.Using a paper planner brings me both joy and a sense of calm.
F.It’s an important ritual (仪式) that deserves weight and ceremony.
G.After all, our lives are the sum of how we spend our time and what we pay attention to.
24、 Bats have long been one of the most feared creatures in the animal kingdom. Many pop culture associations with them are related to vampire men tempting women in order to suck their blood or witches putting evil curses on innocent individuals.
Although these associations are complete misunderstandings, bats do have a dark side as a dangerous disease carrier. These flying mammals can carry a number of deadly diseases such as rabies and more recently Ebola.This has led many to wonder why we should even care about them.
Sure, there is good reason to be exceptionally cautious if you come into contact with bats. However, there is no denying the fact that bats play a significant role in keeping a balanced ecosystem.
Many organic farmers have learned about the benefits of having bats nearby to help manage the pests that show up without pesticides. One brown bat — about the size of a human thumb can consume about 600 mosquitoes and other unwanted insects within an hour. They make for a fantastic,almost essential, addition to pest management on any farm.
Even large government organizations have realized the economic benefits of bats. The United States Geological Survey estimates that bat contributions to pest management save the country at least 3.7 billion dollars per year. Without them, we would likely experience a sharp drop in food production, which would eventually make its way into our weekly grocery bills.
As if this were not enough of an ecosystem service we receive, bats are also of great importance to a variety of plant species that are preferential to its pollination. Otherwise, these plants would decrease their ability to reproduce by at least 50 percent.
A number of plant products consumed by humans fall into this preferential pollination category. Some popular foods include mangoes, bananas, peaches and guavas. Additionally, the agave plant, which is used to make tequila, is completely dependent on bat pollinators for reproduction.
Bats are major contributors to our society. They are in the best interest of the international community to protect and even to promote. Amid significant fears housed by the general public, the fact is that we need them more than most of us imagine.
【1】Why should we be cautious when we contact bats?
A.They are aggressive. B.They bring bad luck.
C.They carry diseases. D.They stay in the dark.
【2】What are paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7 mainly about?
A.Our care about bats can never be too much. B.Bats make unusual contributions to us.
C.Farming is simply impossible without bats. D.Mosquitoes are a big threat to farming.
【3】Who are the target readers of the passage?
A.The general public. B.The pop culture lovers.
C.The mass farmers. D.The environmentalists.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Bats Are Misunderstood B.Creatures Do Wonders
C.Protection Is Under Way D.We Humans Need Bats

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。
So recently I got goosebumps. It was Friday,November 17. I was so nervous since it was the end of the week and we had planned to go out and eat for dinner. I went school like it was a normal day, but little did I know there was a shock waiting for me at school.
There’s this boy in my band,Spanish and math class. His name was Nathan. I never really liked him since he was a slowpoke (迟钝的人). He didn’t have any friends at all. He always sat alone at the lunch table with his phone listening to music. People just walked past him without caring. And in class whenever he was asked a question, he would take a long time to answer it. The whole class would get annoyed and whenever he got an answer wrong, the whole class would laugh. I didn’t know why but I didn’t care enough to know.
On November 17, I walked into band class and was ready to play my flute. Mr. Kohler began the class. We played music for a little while then he asked us to tune our instruments. I saw Nathan, he was just walking around like usual looking for something. There is nothing surprising about that, he does that in every class. He doesn’t just sit the whole class period, he walks around looking for Kleenex or a new reed (簧片) for his instrument. He plays clarinet by the way.
So then Mr. Kohler asked a question to the class: “Who in here can tell what note it is just by hearing the pitch (音高)?”
Nobody raised their hands except for Nathan. The moment I saw him, I laughed but not out loud. I thought he couldn’t do anything properly. How could he possibly guess the note when the pitch is played?
Mr. Kohler even laughed a little and then told Nathan, “Come here buddy.”Nathan came and stood in front of the class. Mr. Kohler had a tuner and he played a pitch and asked Nathan to guess the pitch.
Nathan said, “E flat.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr.Kohler said, “OK good.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our surprise, he guessed all the pitches correctly.
