21、Most of us don’t go out at 8 o’clock every morning to buy meat and vegetables for 200 poor children. But artist Yvonne Bezerro de Mello does that daily. Leaving her home in a wealthy district of Rio de Janeiro each day, she spends much of her time in the slums.

There, in a small house she bought, she feeds homeless children. She also gives them affection and protects them from violence. She and a few coworkers teach them to read and write. What motivates her to do this?

“How can I not help?” she says. Yvonne’s mother had taught her from a young age to care about other people. At age 13, she read to blind children twice a week. Since that time, she has helped homeless children.

What happened in 1993 brought more attention to Yvonne’s work. That year, police fired upon 72 homeless children, killing eight of them. Yvonne knew all those children. Shocked and annoyed, she made the incident known around the world. She wrote to newspapers and human rights organizations. Three years later, a policeman was convicted (证明有罪).

Yvonne believes working with street children is a crusade（正义运动）. Now in her 50s, she heads up Projeto Uere (Children of Light). The goal of the project is to help children escape life in the streets. Around 120 children from age 3 to 16 come to a special school in one of Rio’s slums. They learn reading, writing, math and art. They also learn how to survive without using violence.

【1】The underlined word “slums” in the first paragraph means ________.

A．the places where foods are bought

B．the places where patients are treated

C．the places where lives are saved

D．the places where the poor are housed

【2】What kind of Yvonne’s service is NOT mentioned?

A．She gave them food.

B．She kept the children from violence.

C．She taught them how to read and write.

D．She built a small house as their shelter.

【3】What can we infer from this passage?

A．All the policemen are kind and helpful in Yvonne’s country.

B．Some street children in Yvonne’s country have been treated violently.

C．Projeto Uere is a national campaign.

D．Yvonne had a miserable childhood herself.

22、Developing Interpersonal Relationships

One of the biggest keys to happiness is having strong interpersonal relationships. I believe that relationships are key to leading a fulfilling and contented life. Like anything worth having in life, they take some work to develop and maintain.

In the spirit of clarity, it’s good idea to take a quick look at the definition of interpersonal relationships. 【1】 This can extend from family to friends, to work associates, to neighbors, or clubs and on and on. It can be a relationship in any context or situation.

For instance, I’ve had strong short-lived relationships with people I’ve worked with on a project as well as one for 50 years with my brother. My two best friends and I live in different cities but, we get together several times a year and have a great time. I have a mentor I worked with over a decade ago I still stay in touch with because we get along so well. 【2】

We will briefly touch on developing interpersonal relationships. Best way to approach it is to be a good partner or friend as the situation desires. 【3】 Do your part and help others as needed. Be a contributor who is also willing to help out when needed. As a friend, you simply follow the age-old piece of advice “to have a friend, you must first be a friend”.

【4】 That want-to-help attitude will put you with like-minded individuals who you’ll probably hit it off with. The main thing to remember is great interpersonal relationships can get formed any lace or situation where you interact with other people. 【5】

A.That’s how interpersonal relationship affects you.

B.Interpersonal relationships serve to ease people’s anxiety.

C.For instance, ensure you are a good person to work with.

D.All of these are examples of strong interpersonal relationships.

E.Put some effort into it and you’d be amazed at how that pays off

F.An interpersonal relationship is a strong association between people.

G.If you’re on a team, it should be something you’d like to help out with.

23、   While staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.

Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safety—including the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid－20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost—the air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings can’t really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de__Havilland__Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.

However, where there’s a corner, there’s a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stress—such as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.

Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook, doesn’t it?

【1】Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?

A. To save money for less drag.

B. To help the plane to take off.

C. To increase safety of the plane.

D. To carry more passengers and go faster.

【2】What does the underlined words “de Havilland Comet” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. An aircraft. B. A band. C. A planet. D. A design.

【3】Which is the advantage of the rounded window?

A. It increases the air pressure.

B. It weakens the strength of air pressure.

C. It reduces the possibility of breaking up.

D. It helps to survive the extreme weather.

【4】Where does this text come from?

A. A newspaper on safe driving. B. A science book on flying.

C. A website on survival skills. D. A magazine on fashion design.

24、   Knowing how to speak effectively and persuasively has become an essential skill in modern life.【1】

Read

The majority of people seldom read books because they think it’s not necessary. However, reading is important to your career success. Most successful people have a habit of reading a book for at least 30 minutes a day. When you read each day, you improve your vocabulary, knowledge and memory.

【2】

Prepare

Highly persuasive speakers always know what they are talking about during their presentation because they prepare their speech and read all necessary information well in advance.

Practice

I’ve asked many famous speakers about the secret of their successful speeches. One of the most important keys to success is practice. 【3】 Whether you practice in front of your family or friends or in front of the mirror, stay confident and speak clearly. Don’t stop and don’t give up. Your mistakes will make you smarter and more successful, so don’t be afraid of them.

【4】

When it comes to presentations, the most difficult thing to do is probably attract your audience’s attention. Successful speakers know how to catch the audience’s attention with their first words. Prepare a great opening that will make everyone listen to you attentively.

Use your body language.

Your body language has huge power. When you use it correctly, you look more confident and convey your messages more easily. Develop a good handshake and facial expression, learn how to keep eye contact, listen to others, and improve your posture. 【5】

All these things will help you become a highly persuasive speaker.

A.Make your speech accessible.

B.Practice helps you realize your mistakes, and improve your speech and body language.

C.Your speech shouldn’t be boring; it should be interesting and catch everyone’s attention.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

A young and successful manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out (窜出) from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick hit violently into the Jags side door! He stepped on the brakes and backed his Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?”

The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister... please, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,” he explained. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the astonished manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

Moved beyond words, the driver cooled his anger.

The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
