21、   When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around. 'Hello? ' she called. 'Celia? Marie? ' There was no response.

The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it 'Forgotten Island' because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie. But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.

'Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. ' Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.

A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.

Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.

In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.

【1】What is special about the island?

A.It is very near the ocean.

B.It is a popular place for boating.

C.It is surrounded by thick forest.

D.It has never been reached by others.

【2】Why did Lina get angry？

A.Lina was left alone on the island.

B.Marie would not help row the boat.

C.Marie didn't know how to row the boat.

D.Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.

【3】What caused Lina to feel scared?

A.Her shame about the unnecessary argument.

B.The first raindrop of the approaching storm.

C.The idea that no one would come to save her.

D.The drop in temperature as the sun went down.

【4】What can we infer about the three girls?

A.All of them could swim well.

B.They had an adventurous spirit.

C.They lived far away from the island.

D.They quarreled with one another badly.

22、Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social work at George Brown College in second year．Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general-interest credits（学分） from Ryerson , and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at university．

“So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before”, complained Evans．"The system really needs to change．" Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students on Monday cheering a new $ 73．7 million five-year plan to help students switch from college to university, and from university to college．

After years' of urging from students, the Ontario government set up a new Credit Transfer Innovation loud to help students move back and forth between the more hands-on courses of community college to the often broader academic focus of a university degree．" We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was teaching them both," noted Malloy after announcing the new fund．

Individual colleges and universities have decided on nearly 500 joint deals to honor each other's credits in certain courses．Each school is required to set targets for more credit-transfer agreements, and link these increases to provincial funding．

More than 4,000 college graduates transfer （转换） to university in Ontario every year twice as many as eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance．Yet Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid copying each other's courses, noted Bonnie Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities ,who welcomed the increased flexibility．

【1】What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?

A. He was considered to be unqualified for social work．

B. His previous credits were not all recognized．

C. He wasn't able to get enough credits．

D. His English didn't reach the required standard．

【2】According to Paragraph 3, Malloy believes _____________

A. it is time that the system was changed

B. the same professor can't teach in different schools

C. students should focus on their chosen courses

D. the students' stories are horrible

【3】Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits partly to _____________.

A. avoid accepting unqualified students

B. keep their similar courses

C. prevent courses becoming similar

D. attract famous professors

【4】What attitude does Bonnie Patterson have towards the transferring system?

A. He is strongly against it

B．He is very doubtful about it

C. He thinks it is too flexible

D．He supports it for its flexibility

23、On Monday, a scientist and doctor Robert Winston is to formally ask a question in congress about what assessments the government has made “for requiring adults riding bicycles in city centres to heave a licence and third-party insurance”. The letter below is the entirely imagined response I would like the government to make to him.

Dear Robert,

You ask what assessments we’ve made for your proposal about obliging cyclists to have licences and insurance. The brief answer is: none. Nor do we have any plans to do so.

Why? Again, the short answer is this: it’s a silly and pointless thing to suggest, as evidenced by the fact that practically no countries or territories anywhere in the world require cyclists to be licensed, or to have compulsory insurance.

I suppose it’s only fair if I explain why I think it is such a non-issue. It’s pretty simple: such a plan would achieve pretty much nothing, while causing significant problems. More widely, any sensible governments will do everything in their power to get more people cycling, not to put pointless obstacles in their way.

Let’s just take one example. As I’m sure you know as a doctor, one of the problems facing our nation is that the National Health System is likely to collapse under the caring for an increasingly overweight population. Inactive living is central to this. Even a fairly brief daily bike trip can have miraculous benefits for people’s health.

Next, how would such rules even work? Would the licensing and insurance be just for adults, or also children? How would the system even be enforced-would it also require all bikes to be registered with number plates?

Finally, what would you hope to achieve by this? If you believe licensing transport users stops wrongdoing, can I point to you the data showing how a third of drivers admit to using handheld phones while driving, despite the law forbidding it.

So, to summarize：your plan would be to introduce a hugely new administrative scheme that would most likely have limited effect on the behaviour of averagely law-abiding (守法的) transport users who rarely harm others, while putting people off from this beneficial type of transport.

I’m afraid I just don’t get it.

【1】What does Robert most probably want to know by asking the question?

A．whether the government has made efforts regarding his proposal.

B．whether each bike rider has applied for a third-party insurance.

C．whether the congress has sympathy towards the cyclists.

D．whether doctors can receive the government’s support.

【2】What does the author think of the plan proposed by Robert?

A．It may raise people’s insurance awareness.

B．It can motivate people to obey the law.

C．It imitates what other countries are doing.

D．It is difficult to implement and enforce.

【3】The example in paragraph 6 is used .

A．to draw people’s attention to overweight problems

B．to prove that cycling can cause problems

C．to explain why governments advocate cycling

D．to illustrate how broken the NHS is

【4】We can conclude from the passage that the author .

A．holds prejudices against Robert Winston

B．is a pleasant and good-tempered person

C．has the right to speak for the government

D．is skilled in argumentative techniques

24、Just when you think life is going a certain way, there can be an unexpected twist of fate. James Fox found this out after meeting a total stranger.

Life is not easy for James Fox. His arms and legs are disabled because of an accident. Even worse he was homeless. One day he was riding on a skateboard heading to his mother’s house when a man stopped his truck and asked James if he’d like a ride. The driver’s name is Dan Creighton, who’s a CEO of Creighton Construction and Development. Concerned for James’ safety, Dan decided to offer a lift.

Dan offered to purchase him an electric wheelchair, but James refused. He simply told Dan that he was on his way to his mom’s house. Dan told James to reach out if he needed anything. They didn’t meet each other until two years later, when Dan spotted James at a bus stop. He didn’t hesitate to pull over and ask if James wanted a ride.

James remembered Dan, and admitted that he was on his way to the Social Security office for help. At that time James had no family support anymore. Both his mom and dad had pas-sed away after the pair had first met. Even though Dan didn’t know much about James, he took him to his office and gave him a $10, 000 check. Since then, James has become like a member of Dan’s family and has even started up on his main passion, computer work, once more.

Dan even bought James a flat in South Point Villas. The home is completely accessible as the floors flow throughout, so James can use his skateboard to get about. Dan also created a GoFundMe for. James, called “Let’s Make 2020 James Fox’s Best Year Yet”. The target was set at $13, 000, but it has already surpassed $10, 000.
