21、This past January, Captain Preet Chandi set foot on a historic, though decidedly icy trail by becoming the first woman of color to reach the South Pole alone, without assistance. While others might have been content to make history with this singular accomplishment, “Polar Preet” Chandi is not one to rest on her achievements. The journey to the South Pole was merely “phase one” of a larger and even more extraordinary goal for the adventurous British Army officer.

“For the phase two”, the 33-year-old has set her sights on crossing Antarctica — once again doing the journey alone and unsupported to become the first woman to achieve this goal.

On November 14, Chandi departed from Hercules Inlet, an ice-filled bay at the southwestern section of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf bordering the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. Her goal is to reach Reedy Glacier within 75 days, a coast-to-coast journey consisting of roughly 1,100 miles. And “roughly” is the key word here — she’ll be pulling a sled (雪橇) with equipment, weighing about 264 pounds altogether, and she’ll be doing so in temperatures that can sink to minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.

Her journey thus far required years of training. Prior to her 700-mile South Pole journey, she prepared by attending a polar survival course in Norway. She continued her training back home in the UK by dragging tires, the closest thing to pulling a sled, and a month-long practice run in Greenland. Ultimately, Chandi went on to finish her first South Pole expedition in 40 days, a full eight days ahead of schedule.

When not otherwise setting records of human endurance in extreme conditions, Chandi tries to inspire others in her day-to-day work.

Chandi will be posting interval (间隔) voice blog updates of her phase two progress on her website, polar Preet. com, where a live tracking map will also provide her current location at every point along her journey.

“Nothing is impossible. I’ve always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model,” Chandi shared on her blog.

【1】Why does Chandi want to cross Antarctica?

A．To stick to a promise.

B．To take further challenges.

C．To raise money for poor women.

D．To realize her childhood dream.

【2】Why did the author emphasize the word “roughly” in paragraph 3?

A．To hide the author’s bad memory of numbers.

B．To indicate there are more challenges facing Chandi.

C．To explain there is no proper word to describe the journey.

D．To show there is no official figure about the distance to Antarctica.

【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A．Survival training is a hard process.

B．Chandi got trained by pulling sleds.

C．The journey to South Pole was eventful.

D．Chandi made full preparations for her adventure.

【4】Which words can best describe Chandi?

A．Inspiring and friendly.

B．Active and creative.

C．Confident and determined.

D．Adventurous and modest.

22、   On her first day in New York City, teaching students from low-income families at an after-school program, Alyssa Kapasi noticed so many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. Many of these poor students don’t get enough food to eat at home, so a free school lunch or a free after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.

Kapasi, who graduated from private school, was shocked. Therefore, she was determined to help. “I want other kids to understand that if they meet a problem, they don’t have to wait to be an adult to salve it,” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills ta work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students and even kind-hearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school.

About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more quality for reduced-price meals, and those students’ families may pay for part of their food. When they don’t have the money on any day. the students might have to choose an “alternative meal” such as a free cheese sandwich.

One clever feature of the app which is being supported by donation from companies and social investors—is that it provides anonymity (匿名) to lunch recipients and donors. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else knows.

“I want to make the application a platform where all users feel no shame in using it,” says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district next month. And then, she will devote herself to charity.

【1】Why did so many students have to eat school food according to paragraph 1?

A. The food was cheap.   B. They preferred to eat in the cafeteria.

C. The food was very delicious.   D. They lacked food at home.

【2】What is the function of the app?

A. Selling food to the student.   B. Allowing people to help poor students.

C. Communicating well with students parents.   D. Helping students study well.

【3】What is special about the app?

A. It is attractive and fun.   B. It is convenient to apply.

C. It manages users’ information secretly.   D. It can tell who is badly in need of food.

【4】What can we learn about the app?

A. It has been abandoned half way.   B. It is being created by a student.

C. It is about to be put into practice.   D. It is being used in a school district.

23、It was mid-afternoon. I looked outside my dorm window, and saw the lifeless gray sky, the snow and the trackless sidewalks. There was no one in the snow but a squirrel. The brown-gray North American squirrel,a look of terror in his shining eyes, braved the cold to throw himself over snow. In his mouth was a large acorn(橡实)—I was surprised it fit in his mouth.

I moved closer to my window, outside of which is a medium-sized tree, lacking its warm-weather leaves. The squirrel ran up rapidly, higher and higher in the tree, and his small body held onto his dear acorn.

Up he went, to the tip of one of the highest branches. I held my breath—I wondered if that slender branch could support him. I wondered if his winter food store was in this tree—squirrels are known to hide their nuts, mushrooms, and vegetation high up in trees. Outside, the squirrel firmly grasped that branch, jaw clamping(夹紧)on his acorn.

Then came the wind blowing violently, shaking the tree, the branch and the squirrel. He hung on for dear life, and both arms wrapped around the branch in the wind. I held my breath: If he fell from a height like this, then.... Seeing this little squirrel, I had my heart in my mouth. As the wind became stronger, the squirrel’s precious acorn fell to the ground. The squirrel followed its downward progress only by sight—if he let go the branch, he would fall downwards as well. I was so nervous that I didn’t take my gaze off the squirrel for one minute. Surprisingly, he then climbed down the tree and was now half-buried in the snow, searching desperately for his acorn. Finally, he made it.

The brave animal is able to survive in nature all because of its desperate efforts.The same goes for us humans. We all work hard to survive, and this is the law of nature. So effort is not something special, but a matter for all living things to do to survive.

【1】What did the author discover outside the window?

A．A squirrel was freezing nearly to death.

B．A squirrel was choked by a large acorn.

C．A squirrel was picking acorns from a tree.

D．A squirrel was climbing to the top of a tree.

【2】What does the underlined word “slender” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Dead.

B．Straight.

C．Slim.

D．Thick.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the squirrel in paragraph 4?

A．Concerned.

B．Unfriendly.

C．Uncaring.

D．Curious.

【4】What does the story intend to convey?

A．Stop struggling, life is stopped.

B．Facts speak louder than words.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．Teaching others teaches yourself.

24、   An 8-year-old Nigerian, Tani Adewumis, whose family is homeless, won first place at the New York State chess championship without a single defeat at the beginning of 2019 and he says he is not done yet.

“I want to be the youngest grandmaster,” Tani told The New York Times. Tani placed first in the tournament for kindergarten through third grade — an outstanding win for anyone. “It’s unheard of for any kid, let alone one in a homeless shelter,” said Russell Makofsky, who is in charge of the chess program.

Tani hasn’t had an easy life. His family left northern Nigeria in 2017 fearing attacks on Christians, and moved to New York City over a year ago where the boy learned how to play chess at school. School chess coach Shawn Martinez saw Tani’s potential after observing him stand out in the game a few weeks after first learning it early last year. He reached out to Tani’s family about joining in the school’s chess program, and learned they were unable to pay costs associated with membership. Shawn decided to abandon Tani’s fees, which can easily reach thousands with travel and chess camp admissions.

Seven victories later, the elementary school boy is one of the top players in the country for his age group. “He works very hard at his game,” Martinez said, believing Tani could achieve master status in the next year or two. The world’s youngest grandmaster qualified at the age of 12.

As Tani’s story hits national headlines, more people want to help. Makofsky, who set up a GoFundMe for Tani, said the family has received offers for a car, legal services, jobs and even housing. “My hope is that he’ll be in a home tonight,” Makofsky said.

【1】How did Makofsky find Tani’s achievement?

A.Confusing. B.Amusing.

C.Amazing. D.Ridiculous.

A.Makofsky told him to do so

B.Tani's family were unable to pay costs associated with their daily life.

C.Shawn took charge of the chess program

D.Tani had a great gift for chess.

【3】What can we learn from Tani’s story?

A.All things are difficult before they are easy.

B.A good beginning makes a good ending.

C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

D.God helps those who help themselves.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

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。

Sweat poured down from Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for the football team in his high school, and of course he made it. After all, he had been playing football for almost ten years.

Football was a way of life in Mark’s family. His father was a coach in a primary school. His elder brother Roy was now playing at a top college. Mark was expected to follow his brother’s footsteps and make his family proud. But he had a secret. Though he was good at football, Mark’s heart wasn’t in it anymore. He had another sport on his mind.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark hopped on the school bus heading home. Through the bus window, he could see the cheerleading squad (啦啦队) on the field. The cheerleaders were kicking, dancing, and performing amazing moves. Mark was fascinated. In fact, he had been attracted by cheerleading for some time.

He pulled out a piece of paper from his schoolbag. Printed across the top in big letters was the phrase: Cheerleaders Wanted. That’s what Mark really wanted to do. His love for football had gone away months ago, and he longed for being a cheerleader instead of a football player.

He knew that cheerleading would not only be a physical challenge; it would also be an emotional one, too. His family had such high expectations for him when it came to football. But Mark was tired of trying to keep up with his brother. He wanted his dream and was ready to go on his own path.

Right now, after his football tryout, he knew he had to tell the truth to his parents. As soon as he arrived home, his parents were already waiting for him at the door. “Did you get in the football team?” they asked anxiously.

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。

“Yes, I made it. But I don’t want to play football anymore,” he replied.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hearing his apology, Mark’s parents calmed down and smiled.
