21、   A young Mexican-born stood up for her community and fought for a cause that many thought was worthless because of whom she was going up against. Her name is Erica Fernandez.

Erica was born and raised in Michoacán, Mexico until the age of 12. At that time, her family migrated to the United States to the agricultural city of Oxnard, California. After a few years of living there, she developed a strong sense of community through familiar experiences and relationships with the people in Oxnard.

One clay. Erica got word of the proposal of BHP Billiton, the richest mining corporation in the world, to build a natural liquefied gas facility off the Coast of Ventura County. This proposal would have had a 36-inch pipeline routed through low-income neighborhoods in Oxnard. The proposal was first presented to richer communities but was rejected. The company then added 1 0 miles to the project so that it can go around the richer communities and only affect Oxnard. This pipeline, had it gone through, would have caused 280 tons of air pollution each year, not only affecting the health of Oxnard residents, but also causing their crops and farmland to be affected largely.

Seeing that her community was going to be taken advantage of, Erica decided to do something about it. Erica joined forces with local community organizations to stand up to BHP Billiton and stop this proposal from going through, organized protests at the BHP Billiton offices, led marches through the neighborhoods that were going to be affected the most, and reached out to the media to get coverage on this injustice.

All of Erica's efforts became worthwhile after her passionate speech before the California State Lands Commission. The project was asked to be vetoed and the Commission urged the Governor to do the same. It also led to the creation of SB41 2 , a bill introduced in the California Senate that entitles（给 予权利） communities to have a say in coastal construction proposals.

【1】Why was Erica against the proposal of BHP Billiton?

A.She wanted her neighborhood protected.

B.She wanted rich neighborhoods influenced.

C.She wanted a sense of community developed.

D.She wanted a natural liquefied gas facility built.

【2】What made Erica's efforts pay off finally?

A.Delivering a speech. B.Reporting the proposal.

C.Leading marches. D.Organizing protests.

【3】What does the underlined word “vetoed" in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Allowed. B.Refused. C.Completed. D.Created.

【4】Which of the following best describes Erica?

A.Ambitious and careful. B.Humorous and considerate.

C.Courageous and determined. D.Responsible and easy-going.

22、James ran his first 30 kilometres. It was not easy for him, but he made it. Months earlier, he wasn't in any condition to run five miles, let alone 18.6 miles, the distance of a 30 kilometres.

One day, early in the morning, my wife Lisa discovered that our older son, James, had been playing video games since he got home from school the previous day. What she found angered both of us.

We were sick of the amount of time James spent playing video games. He would often sleep until 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays because he stayed up playing games until 3:00 in the morning.

Driven to break our son's life style, we tried several different approaches, like limiting the amount of time he was allowed to play games each day, but we couldn't find anything that worked consistently. He always seemed to go back to the game, especially when we were not there to monitor him.

It's not that I'm against video games; I am just against playing them every waking moment at the expense of exercise. In an attempt to ensure that our kids did not become addicted to games, I came up with an idea: Game time in our house would have to be earned, just like money. Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play. We put no limit on the number of miles James could run in a day, so the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run. The first couple of days didn't go very well. James got sick of the idea and refused to run at all. Eventually, James decided he would give running a shot.

It never occurred to him that running was giving him a sense of purpose. James even planned to join a marathon and hoped to become the youngest family member to complete one. It was my hope that running teaches him to invest his time in worthwhile causes, not just video games. I never want him to stop challenging himself.

【1】What do we know about James at the beginning?

A．He stayed up learning.

B．He was a video game addict.

C．He was academic.

D．He could control the amount of time playing games.

【2】What's the author's attitude towards video games?

A．Indifferent.

B．Favorable.

C．Objective.

D．Opposed.

【3】How did James like running in the end?

A．It was beneficial and meaningful.

B．It was tiring and meaningless.

C．It was boring and difficult.

D．It was skillful and exhausting.

23、On July 11th Virgin Galactic (维珍银河)finally realized the promise that it would take passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships. For 4 minutes, its 6 temporarily weightless passengers, including the firm’s co-founder, Sir Richard Branson, saw the planet’s curvature (曲度)against the blackness of outer space. He may have been pleased to beat Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s retired boss, who would go slightly higher for slightly less time in a vehicle built by his own company, Blue Origin, on July 20th.

The two are among a growing group of fans who believe space travel’s time has come. Suborbital (亚轨道的) tourism is part of a broader space economy that has boomed over the past decade thanks to technological advances. Those at Morgan Stanley expect the entire space economy to bring in $1 trillion by 2040, from $350 billion today. UBS expects the entire space economy to produce $800 billion by the end of this decade. Space travel, it thinks, will make “a big contribution” to that total.

But that is highly unlikely. For example, space travel is not even Blue Origin’s main goal. The company is focusing on developing a large new rocket for launching satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies and on winning NASA contracts such as that for a system to land humans on the Moon. In the long run, Mr. Bezos doesn’t see Blue Origin as a provider of services to thrill-seekers.

The business can be promising once regular flights begin to offset (抵消)the rockets’ development costs. But how fast and by how much is uncertain. Without tourist-friendly places to visit, space travel, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huger earner.

Another challenge—also the biggest uncertainty—relates to safety. History has shown that a disaster can set progress back by years. Even with no accidents, problems may come up. Strict top-down rules could mean that industry will no longer have the freedom to pursue new approaches to improving safety.

Space travel may remain a hobby for a few super-rich with a desire to take risks and lots of time to spare. Not exactly a mass market, then, for the time being.

【1】Why is the event of Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos mentioned?

A．To describe a debate between them.

B．To introduce the topic of space travel.

C．To prove Virgin Galactic’s development.

D．To draw our attention to the two super-rich.

【2】The underlined word “boomed” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A．increased

B．recovered

C．slowed

D．weakened

【3】What does Blue Origin mainly focus on?

A．Flying the super-rich to space.

B．Improving the safety of space travel.

C．Selling facilities to other companies.

D．Developing the most advanced satellites.

【4】Why is space travel not a mass market now?

A．Super-rich people are unwilling to pay for it.

B．There are too many travel places to choose from.

C．Problems of safety and costs remain to be solved.

D．Only the super-rich are allowed by the strict rules.

24、   Possibly the funniest day of the year is April Fools’ Day. 【1】 On that day, people usually play tricks and jokes on friends and family, and sometimes strangers. The phrase to use is “April Fools!” after you complete a trick or joke. But there is much more to this day than these common facts. There is a mysterious history of this celebration. There is no real consensus (共识) on when the holiday officially or unofficially began.

The earliest possible mention of April Fools’ Day is in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, written in 1392. In the story “Nun’s Priest’s Tale” it is mentioned that “Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two”. 【2】 However, modern scholars believe there was a misprint.

The next piece of evidence about April Fools’ Day comes from the French poet Eloy d’Amerval. He wrote about “poisson d’avril”. 【3】 Some scholars say that April Fools’ Day started in the Middle Ages in Europe, where some people celebrated the New Year on April 1st. Those who had New Year’s Day on January 1st made fun of those who partook (共享) in the celebration on April 1st by sending people fish.

【4】 In 1686, writer and philosopher John Aubrey wrote about a celebration called “Fooles Holy Day”. It is certain that the celebration became popular through Great Britain in the 18th. In Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event. As time went on and the celebration became more widespread, it became a one-day holiday.

As you might have noticed, April Fools’ Day has a confusing history. There are multiple theories about its origins. It variously started in many different places. It may also have different meanings. 【5】

A.It means “fish of April”.

B.This origin comes from Scotland.

C.Lastly, we come back to Great Britain.

D.Accepting it or not depends on your interest.

E.It happens on the first day of April every year.

F.One would have to be a fool to accept one theory.

G.This seems like a jokey way of saying the first of April.
