21、It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.

The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.

Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.

“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?

A. Funny.     B. Interesting.

C. Doubtful.   D. Believable.

【2】What’s the second problem the author has to face?

B. His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.

C. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.

D. His mother failed to ask permission for him.

【3】What does the author think of Elsie in the end?

A. Aggressive.  B. Unkind.

C. Bad-tempered. D. Friendly.

【4】 What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The bull guarding Mr.Blickez’s farm.

B. The story of visiting the swimming hole.

C. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.

D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.

22、Everyone needs it,but no one wants to ask for it.“Help” has become a sort of dirty word,implying weakness and neediness,that we can’t handle our problems on our own. However,whether it is for your physical,mental or academic health,getting wordsof advice or encouragement from an outside-source can make all the difference.

During a time of such uncertainty,the frequency of people requesting help for anxiety and depression has increased.The current situation has made people realize that asking for help from professionals is the best way to get their problems off their chests and their minds on the road to wellness.

Still,requesting help carries a societal weight. The British Psychology Soeiety found that two types of stigmas(耻辱)exist:public stigma and self stigma. A “public stigma” is external,a collection of beliefs from around us,which holds a heavy weight on our ideas on seeking help. A “self stigma” is internal,assigning ourselves labels based on our state of mental health,claiming we are worthless and undeserving of help.“Public”and“self”stigmas go hand in hand,and when we hear the stigmas being voiced by those around us,we tend to apply them to ourselves because of social influences.

To be our better selves,we have to break the stigma around“help”and accept the fact that some problems are too ough to overcome on our own. If we fail   elevant necessity of getting ourselves ‘assistance in times of need. Despite what society may tell us,it’s not odd or wrong o get help—it’s probably one of the most insightful and courageous things we can do for ourselves.

Each one of us should be able to openly admit that we need help. Sometimes we need support,and that isn’t bad—’s healthy,and remarkably brave.

【1】Why is“help”considered a dirty word?

A．It has bad impacts on our health.

B．It makes us confused by an outside source.

C．It prevents us from handling our problems.

【2】What can we know about   two types of stigmas according to Paragraph 3?

A．We can’t ignore the two stigmas.

B．Public stigma weighs over self stigma.

C．We are easily affected by public stigma.

D．The two stigmas are based on mental health.

【3】What is the benefit of breaking the stigma around“help”?

A．Improving ourselves.

B．Becoming more confident.

C．Overcoming problems by ourselves.

D．Facing problems bravely.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Help:A Dirty Word

B．Help:Feel Free to Seek It

C．Help:A Way to Better Us

D．Help:Keep a Distance from It

23、   Retired jet engines could help clear the smog that smothered big cities.

To land at Indira Gandhi Airport is to descend from clear skies to brown ones. New Delhi's air is poisonous. According to the World Health Organization, India's capital has the most polluted atmosphere of all the world's big cities. The government is trying to introduce rules that will curb emissions-allowing private cars to be driven only on alternate days, for example, and enforcing better emissions standards for all vehicles.

But implementing these ideas, even if that can be done successfully, will change things only slowly. A quick fix would help. And Moshe Alamaro, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, thinks he has one. His idea is to take a jet engine, put it next to one of India's dirty coal-fired power plants, point its exhaust nozzle at the sky and then switch it on. His hope is that the jet's exhaust will disrupt a meteorological phenomenon known as "inversion", in which a layer of warm air settles over cooler air, trapping it, and that the rising stream of exhaust will carry off the tiny particles of matter that smog is composed of. Inversion exacerbates air pollution in Delhi and in many other cities, from Los Angeles to Tehran. A particularly intense example caused the Great Smog of London in 1952, when four days of air pollution contributed to 12,000 deaths.

Dr Alamaro thinks a jet engine could punch through the inversion layer to create a "virtual chimney" which would carry the trapped pollution above it, so that it could be dispersed in the wider atmosphere. He calculates that all the emissions from a gigawatt coal-fired power plant could be lifted away using a single engine with a nozzle speed of 460 metres a second.

However, he has not calculated whether a jet engine could disrupt the inversion layer and allow the pollution to escape the city-so he is now going to test that hypothesis. Within eight months, Dr Alamaro plans to put one of his updrafters next to a coal-fired power plant and monitor what happens using a fleet of drones. He is in discussions with Tata Group, a conglomerate with an electricity-generating arm, to run it next to one of the firm's power stations.

【1】The second paragraph serves as _______.

A.a hook to raise reader’s interest in the topic

B.an introduction of the seriousness of pollution in India

C.an example of slow progress of smog control in India

D.a background to make the idea sound worthwhile

【2】The idea of applying retired jet engines is most probably inspired by the fact that ______ .

A.New Delhi is suffering the most serious smog worldwide

B.a retired jet engine has a nozzle speed of 460 metres a second

C.the inversion layer prevent the pollutants from getting away

D.conventional ways to deal with air pollution are too slow

【3】Which might be the best title of the passage?

A.New Delhi, the capital of Smog

B.Air Pollution, a Global Challenge

C.Air Pollution in Delhi

D.Air Pollution: Blown Away

24、Antarctica is the highest, driest, and coldest place on Earth. It is also the remotest, a fact which demystifies its unspoiled environment. It is difficult for people to get there, and not a comfortable place for people to stay once they arrive. 【1】

【2】 .They never melt. Even though Antarctica receives more sunlight than the equator, the temperatures are lower because the ice sheet reflects the heat back into space. Thus, the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was in Antarctica in July, 1983. Soviet scientists shivered (瑟瑟发抖) through temperatures that fell to minus 89.2 degrees Celsius.

Once completely inaccessible, 【3】 gold, uranium and oil are just some of the valuable resources which lie beneath the continent’s icy covering.

For centuries, Europeans wondered about the existence of a South-pole continent, but no one actually knew for certain Antarctica was there until 1820 when European explorers “discover” it. Since then, men have gone to Antarctica in search of adventure, testing their abilities. 【4】

【5】 Damage to the environment occurs as people come looking for resources beneath the ice, or carelessly leave their garbage behind. Currently, countries are working to ensure that the damage to Antarctica’s environment is minimized, and that the last wilderness on Earth will remain an unspoiled place.

A．The cold climate is responsible for maintaining the continent’s year-round ice fields.

B．It is widely described as the last true wilderness on our planet.

C．Measures are being taken to protect Antarctica.

D．Yet, Antarctica’s fragile and complicated ecosystem is threatened by its human visitors.

E．In the icy covering are buried few precious resources,

F．Antarctica has more recently been playing host to adventurers seeking excitement and companies looking to exploit this wild zone for profit,

G．Several teams of explorers set out in 1911 to be the first men to stand at the South Pole.
