21、   In 2010, cattle farmer Nano Corona was faced with an unexpected battle for his life. At 49, Corona had hardly ever been sick and was a crazy cyclist, but was having trouble swallowing. Trips to the doctor in August brought a shocking judgement: esophageal cancer (食管癌). “I started chemotherapy (化疗) that September,” said Corona. “A year later, I had surgery and did another six months of chemotherapy.” He is now getting better after the tough battle.

The experience left Corona with a desire to give back to those in the same situation locally, in his small community of Okeechobee, Florida. “l have a great family and surgeon—it made me want to do something when I got out to help,” he said.

Corona originally hoped to raise money by starting a cycling event called Ride for the Fight in the city of 6000 nestled on the northern banks of one of the country’s largest lakes. But, when you’re a farmer, why ride bikes when you can ride bulls?

The fundraiser evolved into a rodeo (马术竞技); when you ride for the fight, it’s a battle to stay upright. Over the last six years, Corona has raised over 175 thousand dollars to help those with cancer do everything that you need to get done outside of getting treatment, and that’s a lot.

“We can’t help you with treatment, but we do just about everything else,” said Corona. “We help with rides to and from treatment, grocery bills, electric bills, rent and house payments—the odd things that no other groups will cover.” The organization has also covered travel expenses for those wanting to reunite with family members or take a vacation after treatment.

【1】What did Nano Corona experience before 2010?

A.He usually got sick. B.He was diagnosed with cancer.

C.He had trouble swallowing. D.He experienced an unexpected battle.

【2】How did Nano Corona originally hope to raise money?

A.By biking. B.By riding horses.

C.By asking for donation. D.By riding bulls.

【3】What does Ride for the Fight do for those with cancer?

A.It offers them treatment. B.It travels with them.

C.It helps with some fees. D.It accompanies them to hospitals.

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

A.How to Fight off Cancer B.How to Help Those with Cancer

C.Nano Corona’s Battle with Cancer D.Community Health Hero: Nano Corona

23、Books for babies should have simple, repetitive text and clear pictures. During the first few months of life, your child just likes to hear your voice, so you can read almost anything, especially books with a sing-song or rhyming text. As your baby gets more interested in looking at things, choose books with simple pictures against solid backgrounds.

Once your baby begins to grab, you can read plastic or cloth books that have faces, bright colors, and shapes. When your baby begins to respond to what's inside of books, add board books with pictures of babies or familiar objects like toys. When your child begins to do things like sitting up in the bathtub or eating finger foods, find simple stories about daily routines like bedtime or bath time. When your child starts talking, choose books that invite babies to repeat simple words or phrases.

Books with mirrors and different textures are also great, as are fold-out books that can be supported. Board books make page turning easier for babies and plastic or cloth books can go everywhere—even the bath tub. Babies of any age like photo albums with pictures of people they know and love. And every baby should have a collection of alternative books!

One of the best ways you can ensure that your little one grows up to be a reader is to have books around your house. When your baby is old enough to crawl over to a basket of toys and pick one out, make sure some books are included in the mix.

In addition to the books you own, take advantage of those you can borrow from the library. Many libraries have story- time just for babies, too. Don't forget to pick up a book for yourself while you’ re there. Reading for pleasure is another way you can be your baby's reading role model.

24、How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?

In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.

Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.

Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders---they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung (粪便) of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!

As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.

【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “_____”.

A. remains in the African countries

B. drinks 120 liters of water a day

C. manages to live in desert areas

D. eats 150 kilograms of food daily

【2】Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _____.

A. rarely ruin trees

B. drink only every 3-4 days

C. search for food in large groups

D. protect food sources for their young

【3】The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with _____.

A. stories and explanation

B. facts and descriptions

C. examples and conclusion

D. evidence and argument

【4】What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?

A. Overheating the earth can be stopped.

B. Not all animal species are so adaptable.

C. The planet will become hotter and hotter.

D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.

This important change in woman’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
