22、 A bull bison(野牛)in Yellowstone National park charged at a 9-year-old Florida girl. Luckily, the girl was left with only relatively minor injuries. Eyewitnesses say that a group of around 50 people—including the unidentified girl—were standing within 5 ~ 10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes near Observation Point Trail before the animal decided to charge. "We saw through the trees some people petting the bison, super close,” Hailey Dayton, 18, an eyewitness who filmed the incident. " Because it was agitated by all the people and noise, it just attacked.'

In Yellowstone, there are about 4 ,500 bison, the nation's largest and most important bison population on public land. Yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states where free-ranging bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times, according to a statement from the National Park Service (NPS). The Yellowstone population is also significant for being one of the few herds(群)in the country that has not been inter- bred(杂交)with cattle.

While they feed primarily on grass, they can be aggressive if annoyed. " Stay 25 yards away from all large animals—bison, bighorn sheep, deer etc. —and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves," the statement read. " If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in a close distance. ”

Despite the presence of seemingly more dangerous animals such as bears and wolves, bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other creature. "This is what happens when you make fun of wildlife and pay no mind to an animal's personal space,' Dayton wrote in a tweet. " This family was petting the buffalo before it charged. And as you can see the parents saved themselves over their daughter. That really put me off. ”

【1】What does the underlined word "agitated" probably mean?

A.Amused. B.Released.

C.Comforted. D.Disturbed.

【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The remaining population of bison. B.What Yellowstone means to bison.

C.How bison survived the hardships. D.Bison's living conditions in Yellowstone.

【3】What is the NPS statement in Paragraph 3 meant to do?

A.To warn people not to tease bison. B.To inform readers of some large animals.

C.To persuade readers to protect the wildlife. D.To urge people to give bison enough space.

【4】What is Dayton 's attitude towards the family's act?

A.Positive. B.Pitiful.

C.Unfavorable. D.Admirable.

23、 Inside WeWork’s New York City headquarters on a Thursday morning, a handful of kids are selling carrots and peppers. The children are members of WeWork’s first school, WeGrow, where farming is part of the curriculum. They are interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods. “How many carrots would you like?” one girl asks. “We take Apple Pay,” another shouts.

Founded in 2010, We Work has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces. WeGrow is WeWork’s newest enterprise (事业) and its first attempt in the education industry.

WeGrow, a school which claims to grow “conscious leaders”，is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities, so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved. But the goal is not to create next-generation CEOs. “Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people,” said Rebekah, WeGrow’s founder and CEO, “We’ve seen children do such a thing forever —— running a lemonade stand every time , that’s what that is.”

WeGrow opened in the fall last year. Currently, 46 kids are enrolled in classes from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. The kids start every morning with live music, followed by yoga. They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science, math, social studies and language arts. It also has a program for kids to connect with WeWork community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in. But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students’ overall progress.

They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not just a living, but that’s part of a larger mission to raise the world’s awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state.

【1】What do we know about WeGrow from the text?

A. It was founded in 2010.

B. It is intended for kids of gifts.

C. It aims to preserve kids’ nature.

D. It got a lot of satisfaction from parents.

【2】Which of the following reflects the Montessori approach?

A. All kids learn to run the lemonade stand.

B. Students are allowed to establish markets in the yard.

C. The school committee arranges students，activities.

D. Students work hard academically to become CEOs.

【3】Why is it hard to measure students’ progress?

A. Because there are so many courses.

B. Because the students are of a wide age range.

C. Because standardized tests have limitations.

D. Because the school lacks professional testers.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Farming-featured school

B. An Education-based Business

C. Grow to be a Future Leader

D. Learn to Make a Life, not Just Living

24、About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk.” At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay（软陶）called cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of detail（细节）I can get with clay.

First, I use wire（金属丝）to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire using the cernit. Then I make the doll’s clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.

Generally, the dolls I make show older people taking part in traditional activities. I’ve always had a great respect for the older generation.

Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles（皱纹）on the face of one of my mom’s friends. But I explained that her laugh lines made her more attractive.

Now I work as a teacher’s assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late in the day. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who’d arrived in the night.

It’s the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I’d made a small fish out of cernit and placed it in the basket.

Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.

【1】The dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk” were ________.

A. totally hand made

B. mainly made of cloth

C. usually small kids

D. often designed by the author’s father

【2】Why did the author look closely at her mother’s friend’s face?

A. To guess her age.

B. To get creative ideas.

C. To give her a surprise.

D. To find out why she was so attractive.

【3】The author’s daughters ________.

A. thought doll making was a waste of time

B. thought the dolls’ styles were too old

C. showed great interest in the dolls

D. paid little attention to the dolls

【4】The author tells the story of the fisherman doll to show that ________.

A. it takes much effort to make a doll

B. it is difficult to satisfy everyone

C. the old also love her dolls

D. her dolls have fine details
