21、The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.

One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.

When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.

David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.

One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.

It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”

David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”

【1】The author finally hired David because________.

A. there were no other workers in the shop then

B. he needed someone who was willing to work then

C. David kept showing up

D. he realized David was dependable

A. the author feels lucky to hire David

B. David has had his character changed through work

C. the author prefers David to be more outgoing

D. some customers just play jokes on David

【3】The author gave David an interview to _______.

A. find a person who is reliable

C. give him some practice

D. show sympathy for him

【4】The author’s tone in describing David is full of ______.

A. pity   B. wonder

22、Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the “Ice Ribbon”, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.

In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the difference. “It's not just a hunk of ice like you'd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It's a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”

The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The more pure the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.

In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.

With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.

“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

【1】What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making?

A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.

B．The quality of the ice will be affected.

C．The ice surface will be more consistent.

D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.

【2】Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?

A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.

B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.

C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.

D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.

【3】What is Gao Bo's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?

A．Unclear.

B．Opposed.

C．Doubtful.

D．Favourable.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.

B．Beneath Olympic Ice.

C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.

D．The Structure of Ice.

23、   A prisoner picked up 1,000 yuan in the course of building the road outside the prison. He handed it out without hesitation. However, someone who was in charge of the prison said to him in contempt, "Stop cheating! With your own money, play such a trick to bribe me; what you want to gain back is the reduced sentence; people of your sort are not honest."

In total despair, the prisoner believed that no one in the world would trust him any more. So he escaped from prison that night.

On his way to flight, he robbed money and values without restraint(无拘无束地). After robbing enough money, he took a train bound for the border. The carriages were so crowded that he had to stand close to a water closet. At this moment, a quite beautiful girl walked into the closet, and found that the latch was broken when she closed the door. She stepped out and whispered to him, "Sir, could you guard the door for me?"

In a daze for a second, he, looking into the pure eyes of the girl, nodded his head. The girl went into the closet with a blush; and he guarded the door tightly like a' loyal guard.

At that very moment, he changed his mind suddenly. At the next stop he got off the train, and went to give himself up to the police at the train station.

Trust is the most precious thing in this world. It cannot be bought, or gained by lure or force. It comes deep from one's soul, and lives in the clear spring of the soul. It can redeem(拯救) the soul and make the soul and make the heart full of purity and confidence.

【1】Why did the prisoner escaped from the prison?

A.In order to get freedom.

B.He wanted to reduce sentence.

C.He planned to make more money by stealing.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph mean?

A.He wanted to hunt for a job at the train station.

B.He was going to hand in the money to the police.

C.He was determined to mend his ways and turn over a new leaf.

D.He went to the police station to tell the police what happened on the train.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The girl thought the prisoner was a bad man.

B.The prisoner was set free because of his honesty.

C.The prisoner finally decided to help the girl because of trust.

D.The man escaped from the prison to reduce sentence.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Trust is the most valuable thing in this world.

B.It is certain that honesty is important at any time.

C.Anyone who helps others in time is well worth praising.

D.There is no doubt that we should believe in ourselves all the time.

24、Each year, backed up by a growing anti-consumerist movement, people are using the holiday season to call on us all to shop less.

Driven by concerns about resource exhaustion, over recent years environmentalists have increasingly turned their sight on our “consumer culture”, with Groups such as The Story of Stuff and Buy Nothing New Day growing as a movement that increasingly blames all our ills on our desire to shop.

We clearly have a growing resource problem. The products we make, buy and use are often linked to the destruction of our waterways, biodiversity, climate and the land on which millions of people live, but to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blaming individuals for what is a systematic problem.

While we complain about environmental destruction over Christmas, environmentalists often forget what the holiday season actually means for many people. In fact, for most, rather than an add-on to an already heavy shopping year, Christmas is likely the only time of year they have the opportunity to spend on friends and family, or even just to buy the necessities needed for modern life.

This is particularly true for Boxing Day, often laughed at by anti-consumerists the most. While we may look down on the queues in front of the shops, for many, those sales provide the chance to buy things they've needed all year. As journalist Leigh Phillips argues, “This is one of the few times of the year that people can even hope to afford such ‘luxuries’, the Christmas presents their kids are asking for, or just an appliance that works.”

Indeed, the richest 7% of people are responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes particularly harmful when you take into account of our consumption “problem” anyway. Why are environmentalists attacking these individuals, while ignoring people like Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has his own £ 1.5bn yacht with a missile defence system?

Anyway, anti-consumerism has become a movement of wealthy people talking down to the working class about their life choice, while ignoring the real cause of our environmental problem. It is no wonder no one is changing their behaviour—or that environmental destruction continues without becoming any less severe.

【1】What can be inferred about the environmentalist movement from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．It has targeted the wrong persons.

B．It has achieved its intended purposes.

C．It has solved the environmental problems.

D．It has persuaded consumers not to shop any more.

【2】What does Leigh Phillips think of Boxing Day?

A．A trap for consumers.

B．A tough problem to deal with.

C．A precious shopping opportunity.

D．A positive contribution to the economy.

【3】For what purpose is Roman Abramovich mentioned in the text?

A．To show how rich he is.

B．To announce he is a Russian.

C．To present his contributions to the environment.

D．To suggest the real cause of environmental problems hasn't been found.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The environmental problems are very serious.

B．Less shopping can't solve the environmental problems.

C．Resources are becoming fewer and fewer on the earth.

D．Measures should be taken to protect the environment.

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。

One night, when we were having dinner, suddenly Mom let out, “I have a great idea!” My sister Keira and I looked at each other, feeling confused and wondering what she wanted to say.

“What if,” she said, with a long pause, “we furnish Nancy’s apartment while she’s away?”

Nancy, our nanny (保姆) had returned to her hometown to get her children and bring them back with her. When her children were only one and five years old, she had left them to work as a caregiver abroad where the working conditions were not very good. Later, through friends, Nancy heard that our country was the land of opportunity. With rich working experience, Nancy came to our house and here we got along well with each other although sometimes we had difficulty in communication because of language.

Five years after her arrival and working here, she was allowed to apply for a permanent resident’s statue. It took so long to get it, so we celebrated with a cake the night the letter that informed her finally came.

“Could you do me a big favor?” Nancy asked Mom before she left for her hometown. ”I’ve ordered some mattresses (床垫) so we have something to sleep on when we arrive. Do you think you could receive them and let the delivery man deliver it into my apartment?“

”No problem,“ said Mom.

”Hey Mom, I hate to burst your bubble (幻想),” I said, “but how are we possibly going to furnish an entire apartment? ”

“Well, we have some extra stuff in the attic,” she replied. “Maybe we can help our neighbors and Nancy at the same time. The neighbors can donate their extras, and we can piece together a great home for Nancy. Let’s send an e-mail and see.” So the e-mail went to about seventy neighbors in our community.
