21、Imagine picking apples on Christmas or going skating on May Day. What about going for a swim on Thanksgiving? Without Leap Day(闰日）,which takes place every four years, that could happen.

Our calendar is normally 365 days long. It was created to match the cycles of the seasons. But Roman ruler Julius Caesar noticed a problem: The earth doesn't circle the sun in exactly 365 days. It actually cakes 365 and one-quarter days. He figured out that the extra part of a day would cause the calendar to grow apart from the seasons over time. Over 100 years, the seasons would shift (推移）about 24 days. Spring would start on April 13 instead of March 20.

Caesar used math to figure out a way to stop the calendar from shifting. He decided to add an extra day to the month of February every four years. His idea helped keep the seasons and calendar matched up. Even so, it still wasn’t perfect—his calendar was adding too many days.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII worked on Caesar's idea. His calendar, called the Gregorian calendar, declares that every year that is equally divided by 400 is a leap year. Turn-of-the-century years, or years ending in “00”, would not be leap years unless they could be divided equally by 400. These complicated equations(等式）help keep the calendar in balance with the orbit of the earth. Today, we still use the Gregorian calendar. In about 3，000 years, the calendar will be only one day out of step with the seasons, It's still not perfect, but mathematicians decided it was as close as we could get.

【1】Why was Julius Caesar's calendar not good enough?

A.Spring would start twenty-four days later than usual

B.It would be only one day out of step with the seasons.

C.There would be too many days on the calendar.

D.Leap Day would take place every other year.

【2】It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A.the earth circles the sun in exactly 365 days

B.Gregorian calendar is more scientific than Caesar's

C.Pope's calendar has been used for 3，000 years

D.Caesar added an extra day to every February

【3】Which of the following years is a leap year according to Pope?

A.The year 2100.

B. The year 2200.

C. The year 2300.

D. The year 2400.

【4】In which section of a website can you probably read this text?

A. Opinion. B. Policy. C. Entertainment. D. Science.

22、Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her life fighting for women to be treated equally. In doing so, she became an inspiring role model for women and girls around the world.

Her passion for women’s rights began when she was young. She started off her adult life having trouble finding a job. Even though she was smart, determined, and capable of doing the job, she was passed over primarily because she was a woman. She felt like she was being treated unfairly, or discriminated against, only because she was a woman. She wanted to do something about it. But at the time there were no laws in the United States to protect her.

She decided to devote her career to being a lawyer and fighting for equal rights of women. Then, early in her legal career, when she was 29 years old, Ms. Ginsburg took a trip to Sweden to perform legal research. What she saw really focused her on fighting for women in the workplace. Seeing the progress women had made in Sweden convinced her even more that America was behind and wrong in its treatment of women.

Back in the USA, laws advocating for women’s rights were missing. She decided that she would help invent laws, write them, and defend them. Ginsburg would also become a professor to help other women to become lawyers so that they could do the same thing. And then, in 1993, after years’ practicing and teaching laws, she became only the 2nd female justice of the Supreme Court.

At only 5'1" tall and as a generally quiet person, Ms. Ginsburg’s power came from her focus, her determination, and her integrity(诚实正直). She went on to become an inspiring role model for girls and women around the world and one of the most respected justices in history. She changed the lives of many women and girls in the United States and beyond.

【1】Why did Ruth fail to get a job?

A．She was not an adult.

B．Women can not work by law.

C．She did something illegal.

D．She was treated unfairly.

【2】What did Ruth do to fight for equal rights of women?

A．She performed legal research in Sweden.

B．She escaped from her motherland.

C．She consulted lawyers of Sweden.

D．She fought with the USA government.

【3】When did Ruth become a female justice of the Supreme Court?

A．In 1987.

B．In 1993.

C．In 1996.

D．In 1997.

【4】Which one can be used to describe Ruth?

A．Optimistic.

B．Strict.

C．Determined.

D．Cautious.

23、Speaking with people who are suffering is difficult. 【1】 Sometimes it’s just difficult to know what to say. Words fail us. Here are some tips for talking about illness with loved ones.

【2】 Visit them, or if that’s not possible, just call them. Don’t worry if you weren’t there in their exact hour of need. It’s important to let them know you’ve been thinking of them and that you regret the delay.

Ask specific open questions. Your friend will no doubt have a routine response to “How are you feeling?” So steer away from routine politeness by asking specific open questions, such as, “So much has happened since we last spoke, tell me what’s been going on with you.” 【3】

Don’t argue with them. You may indeed believe that drinking herb tea is a cure-all, or a friend of your friend might well have benefited from a dietary change. 【4】 Your friend is likely exhausted and sensitive, so there is no need to contradict their lived experience. Let them lead the conversation about their health, which is a small concession that you should make.

Know how to assist them. If you’ve given them enough room to talk, you should have a wealth of information about how to help them. 【5】 Do they like being in the garden? Maybe you’ve been cutting your own lawn and could bring the mower round before you put it away.

A．Reach out to your unwell loved one.

B．Approach the situation in a gentle manner.

C．But remember where you are and why you are there.

D．People in pain can often be bad-tempered, distant or greatly in need.

E．Your sick friend or relative is literally an expert in what it’s like to live with sickness.

F．Specific information such as diagnosis and symptoms is what they are willing to share.

G．Make suggestions to your friends based on your close listening and knowledge of their history.
