22、   People have raised more than $40,000 to support a Starbucks employee who was shown in a Facebook post refusing to serve a customer who didn’t have a mask on.

It all started when Facebook user Amber Gilles posted a photo of a Starbucks employee, later identified as Lenin Smith: and said that “he didn’t serve me because I was not wearing a mask. Next time I will wait for the police and bring a medical certificate.”

“We want everyone to feel welcome in our stores. We respectfully request that customers should follow social distancing and safety rules recommended by public health officials, including wearing a facial mask when visiting our stores , ” a Starbucks spokesperson said Shortly after Gilles’ post went up, a GoFundMe was founded for Lenin. “We are raising money for Lenin for his honorable effort standing his ground when faced with trouble; ” Matt Cowan, who started the raising wrote. When the fundraiser hit $10, 000: Lenin sent in a video to the post thanking donors for their support.

“I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support and what everyone is doing: it’s an honor to see all this happen,” he said while fittingly wearing a mask. “ But I just wanted to remind everyone to be kind to one another and to love each other: and always remember to wear a mask.”

Gilles told NBC, the local media, that she never threatened Lenin: but that she “called him out on his actions.” She said she does not believe masks are effective. What annoyed her was that she has even received death threats for such an incident. She is threatening to charge the GoFundMe creator for his deeds.

23、   Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.

Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.

In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.

“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”

To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.

Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him—on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.

【1】In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of________.

A.devotion B.bravery C.enthusiasm D.hope

【2】What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?

A.No one is interested in hunting any more.

B.The hunting tradition is facing challenges.

C.Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.

D.Hunting adds to many adults life pressures.

【3】What does the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?

A.Raising questions. B.Looking for hunters.

C.Learning to hunt. D.Sharing a new hobby.

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

A.Teach hunters new skills B.Make hunting more popular

C.Reduce the pressure of life D.More protection for wildlife

24、   On a bright summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team. As they practice their strokes and cut seconds off of their times, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just health-related. Team sports also help to build many life skills.

The coach of the swim team is Paul Waas. He explains how swim team teaches the team members skills like discipline (纪律) and focus. “I think the discipline comes into play when you’re talking about focusing on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than just going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. So, when you can focus on what you’re doing right and what you can do better, then you’ll see the improvement. I think they see that from their peers and then it challenges them to do better themselves.”

But discipline and focus are just two of the life skills that team sports can teach. There is also responsibility, goal-setting and working within a group.

Again, here is Coach Waas. “I’ve had kids who, as 7-year-olds on the team, could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. And now they’ve come back as 8-year-olds and they’ve set some goals. And now they have things that they want to achieve. They see the record board and they want their name up there.”

These life skills can help a child later in life. An article published in the magazine Fast Company notes reasons why a company should consider employing former athletes. The writers argue that people who played sports in school are: focused on goals, strong communicators, team players, good at managing their time, and resilient-meaning they do not give up when things get difficult.

Some studies have found that team sports could be especially good for women. A series of studies by the company Ernst Young found that 90 percent of women in so-called “C-suite” positions (like chief executive officer, or CEO and chief financial officer, or CFO) at several major companies had played sports.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph 1?

A．Bright summer mornings are perfect for swimming.

B．Swimming can be beneficial to us more than in health.

C．Being admitted to a swimming team can be competitive.

D．Being on a sports team benefits children in many aspects.

【2】Which of the following will Paul Waas agree with?

A．Stress from peers makes kids discouraged.

B．Kids may get inspired by peers’ improvements.

C．Kids can make improvements once they join a team.

D．7-year-old kids in the swimming team can learn nothing.

【3】The author wrote the passage to ________.

A．analyze an upsetting social problem

B．advocate taking up various team sports

C．appeal to readers to care for sports safety

D．share with readers his personal experiences

26、I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.

Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had to wait in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometres to the closest stream.

But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”

The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off, there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to take pictures of this,” I complained.

Uncle laughed,“Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.

“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).

Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like animals. Are you ready to see some?” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All because of the efforts of one man.

Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too ”
