21、 One August day this past summer, Richard Phibbs was taking photos of Hollywood's hottest couple, Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. The next day,he was sprawling(趴）on the floor of a 6-by-6-foot animal-examination room at the Humane Society of New York(HSNY),photographing dozens of homeless animals for free.
For the past four years, Phibbs,famous for photographing celebrities,has photographed more than 360 rescued dogs,cats and other animals at the Humane Society in hopes of helping them find loving homes forever. Now 63 of those portraits are featured in a new book Rescue Me,detailing animal's miserable past and their new lives in New York City.
＂I was longing lo take a picture that does something more than sell clothes or sell a career, " Phibbs tells The Post. "In fashion,we're trying to make up fantasy and dreams. When I'm at the Humane Society, I use photography to speak the truth. When people look into the eyes of that animal,the spirit of that being is there. "And his photos work. The animals whose portraits are taken by Phibbs see a much higher adoption rate than others at HSNY,thanks not only to the photographs themselves but also to their high share-rate on social media.
＂Without doubt, "says Sandra Dereo, HSNY's executive director. "When we post one of his photos on Instagram or Adopt-a-Pet,it's like a flood. All of these people suddenly notice the animal. "
The photo shoots last anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes,and Phibbs will see dozens of animals in a single day. Each of his subjects is given time to adjust to his or her surroundings,so that they open up and let their personalities shine.
Whether it's a human or animal, I'm trying to get the subject to feel safe and to feel confident and comfortable with me, "the photographer says. "We're looking for that spirit,what makes them different. "While Phibbs may not spend hours with each animal,many of them still have a strong impact(影响）on him. "It's not uncommon for me to walk home,and weep the whole way. "

22、It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition leads to a pragmatic（实用的）attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Today’s college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism（功利主义）.
Many college students choose Business, Law or Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where big money is. It is not unusual to see college students taking a part-time job as a warm-up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving tests to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more severe, students do have reasons to be practical.
However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus, leaving no space for the cultivation（培养）of students’ minds, or development of their soul, we will see university is training well-trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism controls society, we will see people lost in the money-making adventures, humanity losing its grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. I’d like to think society as encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction, the courage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation.
A certificate may give you some advantages, but not broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrity（诚实正直）, which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In today’s world, the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise（专门技能）, but of vision and strategy, and your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.
【1】The author’s attitude toward today’s college education is .
A. positive B. cautious
C. critical D. doubtful
【2】Many college students choose to major in Business because .
A. a businessman is very likely to make big money
B. studying business is less competitive
C. too many students have chosen Computer Programming
D. Computer Programming is not a must for them
【3】The author does strongly suggest that .
A. more competition be encouraged on campus
B. people should not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrity
C. intellectual quality determine how far one can go in his/her career
D. college students get as many part-time jobs as possible
【4】In the author’s opinion, .
A. college students are not pragmatic enough
B. college students should have drivers pick direction for them
C. college education should provide students with more business courses
D. college education should value the cultivation of students’ minds
23、 Vietnam made preparations for the Lunar New Year with a fish release on Thursday. The tradition involves releasing fish called carps into rivers and lakes in the country a week before the holiday known as Tet officially begins.
The tradition comes from an ancient story of three “Kitchen Gods”. The three, two males and a female, take a ride on the brightly colored carp at the end of the year. They go to Heaven to meet with the Jade Emperor, the God who rules there. The “Kitchen Gods” report news about the families they represent to seek the emperor's care and protection. Their efforts help to keep the kitchen fires burning, and families happy and healthy.
As the Gods go to Heaven, families clean their houses in preparation to celebrate Tet. A clean house, Vietnamese believe, will bring luck in the new year. On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Gods will return to Earth and their duties in the kitchen of the house.
Thursday's event in Vietnam this year was more controlled than ever before because of COVID-19. It is spreading in several northern areas of the country. However, Vietnam has increased contact examination, mass testing, and quarantine measures to slow the spread. The aggressive action has limited infections and deaths in the country.
“Vietnamese will still follow the tradition of releasing the fish, but COVID-19 has made people keep a safe distance,” said Tran Van Toi as he released a carp from a plastic bag at Hanoi's West Lake.
This year, due to COVID-19, there were fewer people releasing fish there, but there was a major change in attitude towards plastic bags. After years of persuasion, now they don't throw the plastic bags into the water anymore but collect them to be recycled.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Kitchen fires in Vietnam.
B．Traditional customs of Vietnam.
C．A report on family activities in Vietnam.
D．A tale about Vietnamese Lunar New Year.
【2】What's the author's attitude towards the Vietnam's actions to control COVID-19?
A．Critical.
B．Positive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Unconcerned.
【3】What was the change about fish release in Vietnam this year?
A．It required few lake fish.
B．It was more interesting and diverse.
C．It was more environmentally friendly.
D．It required more people and plastic bags.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Vietnamese Respect Gods During the Festive Time
B．Vietnamese Mark Lunar New Year with Fish Release
C．Vietnamese Lunar New Year Celebrations Are Funny
D．Traditional Lunar New Year Promotes Animal Protection
24、At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.
A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Personal learning style. B. Sex characteristic.
C. Conventional sex concept. D. Profession difference.
【2】According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?
A. Increasing job possibility. B. Winning popularity.
C. Improving language competence. D. Enriching imagination.
【3】How did the author feel for her major choice?
A. Satisfied. B. Active. C. Discouraged. D. Regretful.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A. Art or Science, Either is OK B. Good Subjects, Good Future
C. Girls, Choose More Wisely D. Catch Chances, Change the World

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Seventy-three-year-old George selected his food in Value Mart more carefully than NASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle. Skim milk（脱脂奶）was $2. 99，on sale from $3. 49; white bread, 89 cents with a ten-cent discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price. Leaving the cashier, he estimated that he had saved 80 cents today. He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.
At the exit, the freezing wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are they?”Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. The worried man made a second thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount, for just $35. 00, ten years ago. His quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. Losing this favourite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
Bad luck, he thought. He entered the store again and followed the same route he had walked before, then the rest of the store. But it did not take long to be convinced that the gloves were not in sight. His sharp eyes could not have missed them.
“Society has changed, and people have changed, ” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would return it. Not any more!”
On his way out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. Then he went to the manager's office to ask the same question. She asked him what colour they were, and when he said“black", there came another disappointing answer. For such a pair of expensive gloves, who would give them up?
