21、Maya Angelou once called the poet Sonia Sanchez “a lion in literature’s forest. When she writes she roars, and when she sleeps other creatures walk quietly.”

As a leading figure in the 1960s Black Arts movement and one of the first people to set up a Black Studies program at an American university, Sanchez’s life and work have established her as one of the greats in American poetry.

Last month, she won the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize -a 250, 000 lifetime achievement honor given to “a highly accomplished artist from any discipline who has pushed the boundaries of an art form, contributed to social change, and paved the way for the next generation.”

Combining Black slang, traditional forms and jazz music on stage

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Sanchez wrote her very first poem around the age of five, and she’s still going. This spring, she published her Collected Poems -a book that lasts four decades of work.

Sanchez draws deeply on Black oral traditions, skillfully mixing blues bars with traditional Japanese forms like haiku and tanka. She’s known to bring jazz musicians, drummers, and other musical guests on stage to aid and elevate her performances.

Lifting Black voices through art and then education

Simmons says that the spoken word and its power to create change is at the core of Sanchez’s work. That’s evident in her involvement with the Black Arts movement: Inspired by Malcolm X, Sanchez and her contemporaries-other legendary writers like Toni Morrison, Nikki Giovanni, and Amiri Baraka-worked vigorously to lift Black voices through art. And when they spoke, Sanchez says, “people would jump up, I mean literally jump up and stamp their feet.”

Influencing a generation of younger poets

Part of Sanchez’s power comes from advocating for her people-and from lighting a trail for poets who came after her. Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, who now has five poetry collections and a novel, says she learned how to lean into her power through Sanchez.

【1】Why did Maya Angelou compare Sonia Sanchez to a lion?

A．She was cruel to animals.

B．She won a literature prize.

C．She had an effect on literature.

D．Her works were popular.

【2】What is unhelpful for Sonia Sanchez to win the prize?

A．Bringing about social change.

B．Completing and publishing many poems.

C．Laying the foundation for younger poets.

D．Promoting the development of an art form.

【3】What does the underlined word “vigorously” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A．Casually.

B．Attentively.

C．Regularly.

D．Energetically.

【4】What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．She admires Sonia Sanchez.

B．She’s very popular.

C．She’s very ambitious.

D．She teaches poetry.

22、For career changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy,” he says.

The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?

Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.

Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.

23、Congratulations! You’ve gotten to college, and now you never have to read another book in your life! 【1】 Instead of a book being something you have to read, think about college literature classes as your opportunity to get to read. Here are some ways to get the most out of the literature class.

Take a lecture course. 【2】 Even if you haven’t taken other literature courses, specialized lectures can be a great place to start. If you’re considering a literature lecture, consider one on a single author, or a single genre, or a single time period. Even if you don’t come in with a lot of background knowledge, that’s okay, because the topic is narrow enough so that you can launch right into the material without mastering everything under the sun first.

【3】 Don’t just rely on your friends for this; instead, you should turn to people who are juniors and seniors in departments with a lot of literature courses and ask them which professors they’ve had very positive experiences with.

Take a literature class with a book on the syllabus that you’ve read before but hated. You know you should like The Sound and the Fury, which you read in junior year of high school. But somehow, you just couldn’t get into it then. Or you knew that Walt Whitman is supposed to be great, but you’ve never clicked with “I Hear America Singing.” This is your opportunity to re-discover the books and authors that you’ve completely written off. 【4】

In short, don’t be afraid to take a college literature class. 【5】 Instead, give yourself a chance to explore!

A．All the excuses are just getting in the way.

B．But don’t be afraid to take a specialized lecture.

C．You might find something in them that you love after all.

D．But that’s exactly the opposite of what books can do for you in college.

E．Don’t be frightened by the fact that you have nowhere to hide — embrace it!

F．Take a small seminar, even if you’ve never taken a college literature course before.

G．Ask people who are majors in humanities departments to recommend professors to you.

24、Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when McNee, a basketball coach, met Mandekic. When Mandekic, a math teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math at a gathering, he suggested, “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” “You are kidding!” Mandekic dismissed his idea at the moment.

The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot two years later, when Mandekic and McNee, the now colleagues - who had launched a tutoring non-profit - were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Vanier School.

When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly thrilled. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage - which, in turn, taught them math knowledge. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools.

Later, McNee and Mandekic established a private school called Uchenna. At the school, kids with excellent basketball skills study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs. For the school’s first graduates, the value of BallMatics is clear: all of the 16 boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the classroom, not on the court. “The school’s commitment to academics is the key reason for our success. The coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class.” Abbott, one of them, says, “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”

【1】How did McNee’s suggestion sound to Mandekic at first?

A．Confusing.

B．Absurd.

C．Practical.

D．Professional.

【2】Why did other schools welcome the classes?

A．They enhanced students’ concentration.

B．They improved students’ shooting techniques.

C．They helped students learn math unknowingly.

D．They guaranteed students’ show-up percentage.

【3】What can be inferred from Abbott’s words?

A．Students got balanced development.

B．The coaches cared little about students.

C．Uchenna attracted more and more students.

D．He doubted the education idea of the school.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Big Win

B．Math Struggling

C．Numbers Game

D．Athlete Training
