21、Way back in1953, high school looked like a big hurdle (障碍)for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the 9th class, we got Mr. Iyer, a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not neglect any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid-term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do.” We signed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our review before the exam.”
“Nothing is impossible.” Mr. Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here?”
We reacted with blank stares.
“No you don’t!” he said, answering his own question. “You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expect you to make it in two giant leaps--- You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time, That’s the secret.
Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard: “The longest journey starts with a single step.” But having heard his staircase analogy (比拟) , we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr. Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

【4】What’s the main idea of the story?

Preserve and protect Kenya’s Wildlife
After some difficult years, Kenya is back in fashion and welcoming travellers with open arms, with one main aim—help save and protect their unique wildlife.

23、He was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.
Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he tanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”
From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift---a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met.

24、 When Andrew Kaplan recalls, his stories leave the impression that he has managed to pack multiple lives into a single existence: A war reporter in his 20s. an army member, a successful businessman and- later. the author of numerous spy novels and Hollywood scripts.
Now the silver haired 78-year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them. Kaplan has agreed to become “AndyBot”--- a virtual person who will be: immortalized(T F5)in the cloud for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years
If all goes according to plan. future generations will be able to interact with him using voice computing platforms of mobile devices, asking him questions, letting him tell stories and drawing upon a lifetime’s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone.
Someday, Kaplan, who playfully refers to himself as a pig, may be remembered as one of the world's first digital humans.
For decades, Silicon Valley futurists have sought to free humanity from the life cycle. Today, a new generation of companies is selling some approximation(近似) of virtual immortality, which gives people the opportunity to preserve one's legacy(遗产) online forever.
Kaplan is eager to become one of the world's first virtual residents, partly because he considers the effort a way to extend closed family bonds over multiple generations.
If technology succeeds in creating emotionally intelligent digital humans, experts say, it may forever change the way living people cooperate with computers and experience loss. “AndyBot” may become one of the world's first: meaningful examples, raising complex philosophical questions about the nature of immortality and the purpose of existence itself.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To highlight Kaplan's achievements.
B.To introduce the topic- -AndyBot.
C.To arouse readers interest in Kaplan.
D.To introduce Kaplan's life.
【2】Why did Andrew Kaplan agree to become AndyBot?
A.He wanted to share his life experience as long as possible.
B.He wanted to make his loved one remember him.
C.He believed this action will help with his novels.
D.He could live in the cloud to continue his life.
【3】What might the AndyBot do for future generations?

B.He may use a new body to go on living.

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in schools. Senior school students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it. Surely,social practice has many advantages. Firstly,social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some precious social experience,which will be useful to their future career. Secondly,students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work,thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly,social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However,some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made. For example,some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn more money,thus neglecting their studies. And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society,which will affect their future values.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly,students should first know their objective. They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement (补充),so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.
