21、When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.

Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.

The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. He's getting treated like a king. This was true. But as I watched, I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged. It's often seen as a weakness.

Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.

The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something important for us. He needed us. And we needed to be needed. I believe we all do.

【1】Which of the following statements is true?

A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.

B．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.

C．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.

D．The author realized the importance of practising kindness.

【2】We can infer from the third paragraph that________.

A．showing love to others can make prisoners strong

B．the American prison culture will be improved

C．the author is not content with the prison culture

D．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons

【3】In Paragraph 2, the author mentioned that "Several times I saw all officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners."to

A．show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other

B．show us the American prison culture does need improvement

C．show us the officer and prisoners all like cat

D．show us the American prison culture is great

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Caring Makes Us Human.

B．Prison Culture is Important.

C．Animals Need Care.

D．Everyone Needs to be Cared for.

22、Luciano Baietti, a retired school headmaster from Italy, holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees. The 70­year­old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.

Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard­of, but 15 is apparently quite impressive, since it's only been done by one man. Although he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people his age, at night, Baietti turns into a student again. Every morning, at 3 a.m., he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp.

“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the same root,” he says, referring to the Italian words libro (book) and libero (free). He is inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis­Francois Berlin, whose portrait is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as “a man of culture and knowledge”.

Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection.

“Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70 years old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in food science.

Probably the most important thing about Baietti's achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italy’s Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst for knowledge didn't affect his professional activity and his family life. He spent 3 hours studying every day, and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his theses.

【1】Why does Baietti want to get his 16th degrees?

A．Because he wants to be the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice.

B．Because he is retired and has a lot of free time.

C．Because his wife urges him to do so.

D．Because he challenges himself to open up a broader world.

【2】What is the intention of Baietti’s hanging Louis­Francois Berlin's portrait in his study?

A．To learn from him.

B．To discourage him.

C．To witness him.

D．To curse him.

【3】Baietti can be best described as   ________．

A．honest and caring

B．optimistic and generous

C．determined and hard­working

D．reliable and imaginative

【4】What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti?

A．Well begun is half done.

B．Never too late to learn.

C．Take things as they come.

D．Strike the iron while it is hot.

23、A 29-year-old woman Chelsea Haley of Marietta, Georgia, who adopted (收养) a former student and his brother, is now celebrating being completely debt-free. She has paid off a total of $ 48,683.41 — the amount she owed in credit cards and student loans with interest. “It doesn’t feel real yet,” Haley, mom of Jerome, 17, and Jace, 6, told the press.

Haley was teaching in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2015, on a two-year commitment to Teach for America, which is an organization that finds recent college graduates to work in low-income schools. Her son, Jerome, was in her 4th-grade class at the time.

When Haley saw Jerome having difficulty in progressing academically, she started spending time with him — going to his football games, buying him school supplies and more. Soon, Haley adopted Jerome together with his brother. “Being their mom is the greatest blessing of my life,” Haley said.

Haley went to all the expense of adopting the two boys. She also borrowed money to afford taking care of them, which increased the difficulty for her to pay their student loans. Determined to rid herself of debt, Haley took on part-time jobs. On top of being a teacher, she was teaching an individual student or a small group in her spare time a couple of days a week. On Fridays, she was paid extra to stay late at the school and work as the building manager. Haley also delivered (送) groceries. She sold her home and moved back to live with her parents on Nov. 6. Her goal is to save money for a new house and prepare Jerome for college. Both boys are doing well in school.

“It allows me to focus on the boys’ future,’’ Haley said. “Earning and saving money for them, and not spending money saved in the past.”

Her advice for making a determined effort to free us of debt is never to ignore your spending and stick to a plan.

【1】How did Chelsea Haley feel when she had just paid off the debt?

A．Unforgettable.

B．Unbelievable.

C．Unpredictable.

D．Unacceptable.

【2】When did Haley start to help Jerome?

A．As soon as Jerome first became her student at school.

B．Immediately she came to the school Jerome studied in.

C．When she found Jerome had difficulty studying further.

D．After she had decided to adopt Jerome and his brother.

【3】What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Why Haley returned to live with her parents.

B．Why Haley kept herself busy making a living.

C．What part-time jobs Haley did to earn money.

D．How Haley managed to pay off her debt finally.

【4】According to Haley, what is the most important for her success?

A．Making a practical plan.

B．Relying on your savings.

C．Getting help from parents.

D．Borrowing friends’ money.
