21、   Recently I accepted a challenge to join Naasih, a motivational speaker, on a voyage through India designed to refresh my spirit. After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum(贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.

Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag,” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset,” Naasih said and walked away.

I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.

A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduated university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.

After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trash-filled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) across the slum. I had been so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.

After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “You’re shining, Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.

【1】Why did the author come to Sankar's home?

A.To relieve his hunger and thirst. B.To respond to Naasih's request.

C.To learn how disadvantaged people live. D.To play a game with him.

【2】What can we learn about Sankar?

A.He studies cooking in university. B.He finds a good job in the city.

C.He doesn't live as he dreams D.He has a great talent for basketball.

【3】What does Naasih mean by saying “You're shining, Leon” in the last paragraph?

A.Leon is an inspiration to him. B.Leon has changed his state of mind.

C.Leon is popular among the children. D.Leon is good at connecting with others.

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

A.The Pleasure from Indian Slums B.The Power of Sport Games

C.A Voyage for Finding the Self D.A Chance to Make Acquaintances

23、Visit Iceland

Best Time to Go

Travel between June and August tends to be most popular with visitors. June offers 24 hours of Arctic daylight, while July and August are the warmest months, offering the best chances for good weather. Travel between mid-September and mid-October is the most ideal, as you’ll avoid the high-season tourist traffic and have a solid chance of seeing the northern lights. Although winter weather can shorten your sightseeing, excellent deals can be scored during the off-season.

Transportation

Bargain airfare prices have undercut the major transatlantic(横越大西洋的)players, with Icelandair and Wow Air servicing Keflavík International Airport directly from dozens of major U. S. cities. Car rentals are the most convenient way to explore the island, although mountain roads and general off-roading should be left to experienced guides.

Weather

Travelers should pack for all four seasons no matter the time of year. Summertime can reach levels of T-shirt comfort, while many visitors are surprised to discover that winter temperatures may be milder than America’s northeast. But a beautiful day on the western coast of the island could mean damaging storms in the east. That’s why Icelanders are famous for saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” Winds can transform the weather there more than a dozen times in a single day.

Know Before You Go

Iceland’s reputation as a budget-friendly destination is very much a thing of the past. Prices have gone up greatly—alcohol and food are particularly expensive. We recommend limiting the amount of time you spend in Reykjavík as it’s always crowded with tourists. Instead, explore the smaller towns and villages along Iceland’s coast.

【1】When is the best time to visit Iceland?

A．At the end of October.

B．At the beginning of June.

C．At the end of September.

D．In the middle of December.

【2】How are general tourists advised to travel in Iceland?

A．On foot.

B．By bike.

C．By air.

D．By car.

【3】What can be known about Iceland from the text?

A．Prices there are relatively low.

B．The weather there is quite changeable.

C．June to August are the warmest months there.

D．Coastal towns and villages are more popular than Reykjavík.

24、Nowadays, more and more teenagers use smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices more than ever before. And the amount of time they spend on these devices is only likely to increase in the future. But are all these changes good?

We sometimes call children who are able to use mobile devices and technology easily digital natives. They can text, email, get Wi-Fi, and download. Some experts say that long periods of time spent chatting to friends online, playing video games and listening to mp3s, for example, may possibly change how their brains work.

Then there is the question of privacy. All this online activity creates a digital footprint. Every time we share a photo or a post on social media, and every time we search for something on the Internet, information about our activity is stored somewhere.

Our inability to control what happens to our children's digital footprint and their personal privacy has big possibilities. It might become normal for companies to ask their employees for their social media qualifications. We are also becoming more aware that companies and governments may be able to 'listen in' on our communications. So it is important to make our children aware of the possible results of over sharing.

Another area where the digital world may have a big effect is in education. One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialize properly with other children when they are at school. Other experts point out that, when it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers. They say that we should stop seeing online as 'bad' and offline as 'good' and there is evidence of innovative work in some schools.

So, do we really need to rescue our children from the dangers of the digital world?

【1】 Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the text?

A. Do we need to rescue our kids from the digital world?

B. Should children learn to use digital technology?

C. Are there changes in children’s school life?

D. Should teachers accept changes in our life?

【2】According to the second paragraph, what is the possible effect of digital childhood?

A. Children can grow up quickly.

B. Children can read texts fluently.

C. Children’s way of thinking may be changed.

D. Children may become mentally disabled.

【3】All the following may happen to our digital footprints EXCEPT________

A. When surfing the Internet, our digital footprints are saved.

B. Some business societies may take advantage of the information.

C. Government may look into our communication through the Internet.

D. Digital pictures may be printed by our computer automatically.

【4】Why are many teachers doubtful about digital technology?

A. Because some students can not do well in studies.

B. Because some teachers haven’t changed for years.

C. Because some students addicted to digital technology can not socialize well.

D. Because some teachers addicted to tradition technology cannot teach well.
