21、In 1991, Keith White was at the centre of a 14-vehicle pile-up when a truck crossed the central reservation and hit the van in which he was a passenger. White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years.

His pilot license was removed and he could no longer follow his passion for diving. But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand,” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.”

Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (环航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe.

Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船运动员) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds.

When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.”

【1】Why couldn’t White continue his passion for diving?

A．He lost his left arm.

B．His license was due.

C．He had a new hobby.

D．His memory was poor.

【2】How did White spend his time at sea?

A．By staying awake.

B．By visiting old friends.

C．By keeping himself busy.

D．By attending his children.

【3】What mainly leads to White’s successful adjustment to life after a big adventure?

A．Socializing with new people.

B．Scheduling new adventures.

C．Coaching new yachtsmen.

D．Organizing yacht races.

【4】Which of the following best describes Keith White?

A．Creative.

B．Humorous.

C．Easy-going.

D．Adventurous.

22、Christy and Ted Wilson set aside time every Sunday evening to go over their shared to-do list. Most of the items are tasks like scheduling doctor appointments and organizing play dates for their three young children.

In every relationship, there’s a question of who is pulling their weight around the house. Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old “rough day at the office” excuse doesn’t really cut it.

Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup. To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology. They are using project management apps designed for the workplace to divide up and track household to-dos and reserving a portion of their date nights to compare chores. In some cases, they are even turning it into a game, setting rewards for getting things done.

The imbalance doesn’t always follow gender lines (性别界线). There was a time when Mr. Wilson was in more of a “Mr. Mom” role: He was attending business school, while Mrs. Wilson was clocking long hours as a lawyer.So Mr. Wilson had more flexibility to take on more of the child-care and household-management work. The couple’s roles changed after Mr. Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company. “We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,” she said. They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their phones. Each can take on chores the other dislikes.

【1】What does the underlined part “pulling their weight around the house” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Taking on the household chores.

B．Sharing the burden of buying a house.

C．Running around the house to lose weight.

D．Making excuses for not doing any housework.

【2】Why does the couple turn to project management apps?

A．To stop their arguments over dates.

B．To play phone games with each other.

C．To distribute and follow household to-dos.

D．To reward themselves for doing the housework.

【3】What can we infer from the Wilsons’ example?

A．Digital apps can only handle household arguments.

B．Couples need to switch their roles each day.

C．Gender plays a key role in management.

D．Understanding can help settle conflicts.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Ways to finish housework.

B．Advantages of the Notes app.

C．A family to-do list goes digital.

D．Working parents face difficulties.

23、   During the day, this 20-year-old man from Birmingham, England, who wishes to remain anonymous (匿名的), is a waiter. But by night, he is a real-life superhero, doing heroic things, like feeding the homeless. Wearing a Spider-Man suit to anonymously deliver sandwiches to those in need, he is well-known as the Birmingham SpiderMan, and hopes that his work will show others that everyone deserves a helping hand--no matter their situation.

The young man began doing charitable work years ago, but started his nighttime routine about 3 months ago. At about 9 p. m. every evening, he purchases sandwiches with his own money and then walks--like a comic book hero-to an alley where he can quietly slip into his “uniform.” He then continues to walk 6 streets handing out sandwiches to the hungry and homeless.

While wearing a superhero costume might just seem like a “fun” idea, he says that it actually draws attention to the cause. “Before when I was handing out food, no one would take a second look,” he said. “But when they see SpiderMan handing out the food they come over and ask what I'm doing and are really interested. Most importantly they become inspired to get involved themselves and start to do the charitable work.”

The anonymous man's deeds have already gained support from around the Birmingham community, inspiring some of its members to offer money. But the do-gooder does not accept cash donations--instead he urges them to get out and get involved as well. He is certainly an inspiring example of how one can “Be the Change” they wish to see in the world.

【1】Which is true about this young man?

A．He is well-known for being a waiter.

B．He plays the role of Spider-Man for a show.

C．He devotes himself to helping needy people.

D．He makes a living by delivering sandwiches.

【2】How is paragraph 2 developed?

A．By comparison.

B．By offering data.

C．By giving examples.

D．By giving descriptions.

【3】Why is this young man dressed as a SpiderMan?

A．To look like a real-life superhero.

B．To entertain the homeless people.

C．To attract people's attention to charity.

D．To get himself involved in charitable work.

【4】Which words can best describe this young man?

A．Greedy and funny.

B．Caring and selfless.

C．Devoted and wealthy.

D．Positive and objective.
