21、   Like Indiana Jones (a fictional character), who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time, my father is a businessman by day and a thrill-seeker by night.

His enthusiasm rubbed off on me, and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures. We started out by riding America’s fastest, most twisted roller coasters. After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon（峡谷）on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe.

Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world. Skydiving was especially thrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps. We have bungee jumped from the world’s highest platform, Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa. Most recently, in Interlaken, Switzerland, we attempted canyoning（溪降运动）.

Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning. Our adventure began with a 90-foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice-cold river. Then we crossed the bone-chilling water toward the mouth of the river, our final destination, where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin. We slid over slippery rocks at one moment, jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next. Back and forth we alternated, climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water. Certainly, danger was waiting for us in each of these activities, but that very danger provided the rush. Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another, from beginning to end.

While canyoning is possible only in certain places, thrills and adventure can be found anywhere. Our beginnings in the U.S. showed us just that. We continue to seek the big thrills, but in doing so, we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well. After all, we can’t go canyoning every day, and small thrills are better than none for us thrill-seekers.

【1】What do we know about the author’s father?

A.He is a very successful businessman.

B.He is doing a part-time job.

C.He likes Indiana Jones very much.

D.He enjoys experiencing adventures.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “rubbed off on” mean in paragraph 2?

A.relate to B.keep off

C.affect D.confuse

【3】What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning?

A.Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water.

B.Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.

C.Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels.

D.Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river.

【4】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well.

B.We had better go abroad to experience canyoning.

C.Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.

D.America is the most proper place to experience adventures.

22、   After a Blockbuster store in Australia closes on March 31, the American city of Bend, Oregon will have the only one left on Earth.

For years, Blockbuster was a big name in the video rental business. The company had thousands of stores in the United States and around the world. But Blockbuster began to lose money during the 2000s. By 2014, all company-owned stores had closed. Since then, locally owned Blockbusters have closed, one by one.

Operating the last Blockbuster Video on Earth is not easy. The computer system uses old disks that only the store’s general manager knows how to use. The video rentals are recorded on a kind of aging tape. The tape cannot be replaced because Radio Shack, another once famous store, went out of business.

Sandi Harding has worked at the Blockbuster in Bend for over 15 years and is the store’s general manager. She says “stubbornness” is part of the reason the store is still open. “We did everything we could to cut costs and keep ourselves relevant,” she said.

Zeke Kamm lives in Bend. He is making a documentary about the store with his friend. He notes that many people who rented videos over the years want to share memories of their experiences Kamm explained how Blockbuste were once an important part of small town in America. The Blockbuster was the only place that was open past nine at night, and a lot of them stayed open much later.

Recently, Harding has noticed that more children are coming to the store, brought in by their parents who like remembering the past. Jerry Gilless and his wife, Elizabeth, on a trip to Oregon, recently brought their two children, aged 3 and 5, to the store in Bend. They watched with a smile as their children walked from row to row, looking at movies. “How could we not stop? It’s the last one,” said Gilless. “They need to see that not everything’s on the iPad.”

【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The popularity of the video rental business. B.The special computer system of the last store.

C.The value of the last Blockbuster on Earth. D.The difficulties of running the last Blockbuster.

【2】Why is the Blockbuster store in Bend still open?

A.It has a long history in all Blockbuster stores. B.Its employees try their best to keep it running

C.Its general manager is very stubborn woman. D.It is a place where people can watch old movies.

【3】What is the documentary of Zeke Kamm probably about?

A.People’s experiences of sharing their own memories.

B.Zeke Kamm’s work with his friend in the Blockbuster.

C.People’s memories of renting videos in the Blockbuster.

D.Blockbusters’important role in a small town of America.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.Oregon Will Have the Last Blockbuster on Earth B.Different Opinions About the Last Blockbuster
