21、Jennifer Rocha, who graduated from UC San Diego, said she wanted to thank her parents for their support by taking graduation photos in the fields where she worked alongside them since high school. “I wanted to take those pictures out there, specifically in the field, because that’s what made me go to college,” Rocha said. “That was my dad’s lesson of saying: if you don’t pursue a higher education, you’re going to be working here the rest of your life.” Rocha said her parents encouraged her and her siblings to pursue a higher education.

She started working in the fields with her parents when she was a junior in high school. Each day, she would leave cross country practice to go home and work planting strawberries overnight. “It was tough labor,” Rocha said as she remembered working late nights in the fields. “I was like, ‘You know what? I don’t want to be doing this my whole life.’”

Completing the past four years of college was not always an easy feat for Rocha. While being a full-time student, she also worked at the university’s police department to help pay for her tuition. She worked long hours to fund her education. At times, her work shifts wouldn’t end until 4 or 5 am, leaving only a few hours to spare before the next class. “I have class at like 8 am, and it’s not worth me driving and then coming back,” Rocha said. “So, I would just nap in my car and then go to class after that. It was tough times, but I mean,we got that diploma.”

Rocha hopes her photos and her story will be an inspiration to immigrant families. She said it was important to include her parents in her graduation photos. “I wanted to not just honor them but honor all the migrant skilled workers, because a lot of times they aren’t recognized and we forget about them. My parents being migrant workers were able to have three girls get their college education, and you can do it, too, and your kids can,” she said.

【1】Why did Rocha take graduation photos in the field?

A．To thank her parents for their hard work.

D．To show her success in ending field labor.

【2】What did Rocha’s dad expect her to co?

A．Get a higher agriculture education.

B．Stay away from working in fields.

C．Devote her whole life to fields.

D．Become a learned field worker.

【3】Which word can be used to describe Rocha’s college life?

A．Exciting.

B．Boring.

C．Carefree.

D．Difficult.

【4】What hope does Rocha have about her photos?

A．To stress the importance of education.

B．To remind others of labor’s value.

C．To inspire others to pursue education.

D．To win awards at graduation.

22、Ashtyn Perry dug into the ground in Sequoia(红杉)Crest，California. In 2020, a wildfire burned through the mountain community and destroyed dozens of its massive trees. Ashtyn, who is 13 years old, planted a bright green seedling. “It’s really cool to know that it could be a big tree in the future, ” Ashtyn said. Ashtyn said she’d like to return once a year to see how it’s growing. She hopes it can become a giant.

Her efforts are part of a project to plant seeds from some of the largest and oldest trees on the planet. The goal is to see if the genes that allowed the parent tree to survive for so long will protect the growth of new trees.

Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, which is an organization that preserves the genes of very old trees, leads the project. The group hopes to save the giant sequoias. Once considered nearly fireproof, the trees are at risk of being wiped out by intense wildfires.

Climate change is partly to blame for the problems sequoias face. Climate change is leading to more intense fires. Another factor contributing to the problem is a century of policies that prevent natural fires from burning. Allowing natural wildfires to burn actually prevents bigger future fires, Brigham said. But now when fires burn, they blaze through vegetation(植被)built up through years of fire suppression(抑制), making the fires more intense.

Last year’s destruction to the sequoias brought Brigham to tears. “They’re so big and so old and so individual and unusual that even people who don’t love trees, love them, ” Brigham said. To save the trees this year, crews wrapped trunks of the largest trees in a fire-resistant foil around the trees. But more needs to be done, Brigham said. This includes thinning the vegetation around the trees and replanting.

【1】What do baby sequoias represent for Ashtyn?

A．Hope.

B．Wealth.

C．Progress.

D．Friendship.

【2】What does Archangel Ancient Tree Archive’s protection try to find?

A．The growing course of small trees.

B．The risk of intense wildfires for trees.

C．The best genes to help ancient trees survive.

D．The possibility of living through natural disasters.

【3】Which statement will Brigham agree with?

A．Natural fires should be left alone.

B．Tree trunks should be wrapped tightly.

C．Climate change is the cause of wildfires.

D．The vegetation around the trees needs protection.

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

A．Tree genes help small trees grow well

B．Wildfires destroy oldest trees more

C．People are eager to protect ancient trees

D．Sequoias will disappear on the earth

23、   “Me”. It's a small word with big meaning, and that meaning is as individual to each of us as the way we look. How to deline beauty? How could we learn to appreciate the beauty in ourselves? Will our attitude change as we grow up?

When I was young, I believed the world and success only belonged to pretty people. When I read many kinds of books, the main characters who became successful at last were handsome or beautiful. When I saw films, the attractive key roles would finally won. So I thought that being beautiful and attractive was the only way to become a success.

As I grew up, the story of my classmate made me realize that outer beauty didn't mean everything. The girl was very beautiful and every-classmate liked to chat with her at first. But as time went by, her friends left her one by one because of her arrogance(傲慢). In her opinion, she could get all she wanted with her beauty. Later on, she gradually came to know the importance of the beauty in a person's heart, which changed her attitude and she made friends again.

It is surprising that more and more people, especially girls and women, would like to have a try. They believe that attractive people can easily find a job. Most good-looking people usually get higher scores in the job interviews. But is it always true? Well, external beauty means something. It can be an expression of our personalities, helping us make a good and positive first impression on others. But life won't stop at “the first impression”. It'll move on. Remember the story of my classmate? The beauty judged with eyes is temporary, while the inner beauty counts when people get along with each other and live a life. Meanwhile, being healthy is beautiful, and we should wear that beauty with confidence. It not only makes us more beautiful, but happier.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Great Speakers: Why Their Words Resonate (产生共鸣)

This year will mark 55 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, one that put him among the greatest speakers in history.

What gave “I Have a Dream” and other historic speeches ---such as Abraham Lincoln's“Gettysburg Address”and Winston Churchill's “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” ---such power that they are still distinctly remembered today?

Certainly, it demands perfect delivery. If J.F.Kennedy  had gotten  up there and mumbled (含糊地说) through his address, we probably wouldn't remember that he said, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” But there are more to a great speech.

A great speech seizes the historical moment. Franklin D. Roosevelt's classic line --- “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” --- was delivered during his speech in 1933 at the worst point of the Great Depression. It inspired Americans to regain a sense of confidence and hope, Gerard Hauser, professor of communication at the University of Colorado, says, “A great speech resonates with problems that people are feeling and the expectations they have with respect to those problems.”

A great speech has a memorable tag line. The trick is to deliver a phrase the audience can start repeating, which allows the speaker to pause, and the audience to repeat louder. U.S. President Barack Obama is excellent at this. “When the audience is cheering, he pauses, and then continues to speak, and they cheer louder, so it builds to a kind of peak’’ Hauser says.

A great speech reminds listeners of great moments of the past, linking the speaker with history. Ronald Reagan was considered a master at this. His speech in 1980, as he accepted the presidential nomination, brought the audience back to America's first days. “Three hundred and sixty years ago, in 1620, a group of families dared to cross a mighty ocean to build a future for themselves in a new world,” he said, linking past to future with his appeal for “a new compact (契约) with America.’’
