21、It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts（地区）.
The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.
Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme cold. In the 1978-1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.
In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.
In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation（迎新）period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.

22、The 30 miles of steep（陡峭的）roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-year-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Logan Canyon hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine-but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp U-turn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten-foot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.
There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water. "It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater, "remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager. "You're thinking, is this how it's all going to end？"
Having lost the sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Miahad been right next to him in the front seat；now, in the blackness, he couldn't find her. "I thought, if I didn't get out, maybe none of us were going to get out." Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Leading all the three children to safety, they began to shout at the father, "Who else is in the car？"Andersen says respectfully, "It was like the sight of angels（天使）."
【1】What might be the main reason for the car accident？
A．The sharp U-turn.
B．The steep dam.
C．The sudden braking.
D．A truck hitting the car.
【2】What can be learned from the last paragraph？
A．Andersen lost consciousness in the water.
B．Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.
C．Andersen liked Mia most among the children.
D．Strangers teamed together to save the three children.
【3】The underlined sentence is to express Andersen's feeling of being ________.
A．tired
B．excited
C．doubtful
D．grateful
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A．A Dangerous Road

D．Mystery of the Bear River Mountains
23、On July 12, 1997, Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan, located in the country's Swat Valley.
Yotsafzai attended a school that her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, had founded. After the Taliban began attacking girl schools in Swat, Malala gave a speech in Peshawar, Pakistan, in September 2008. The title of her talk was, "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?"
When she was 14, Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her. Though Malala was frightened for the safety of her father——an anti-Taliban activist-she and her family initially felt that the fundamentalist group would not actually harm a child.
On October 9， 2012, on her way home from school, a man boarded the bus Malala was riding in and demanded to know which girl was Malala. When her friends looked toward Malala, her location was given away. The gunman fired at her, hitting Malala in the left side of her head. Two other girls were also injured in the attack.
Despite the Taliban's threats, Yousafzai remains a firm advocate for the power of education. On October 10, 2013, in acknowledgement of her work, the European Parliament awarded Yousafzai the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. That same year, she was nominated (提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize. She didn't win the prize, but was named a nominee again in March 2014.
Malala Yousafzai's Speech at the United Nations (Excerpt)
Dear brothers and sisters, do remember one thing. Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights. There are hundreds of human rights activists and social workers who are not only speaking for human rights, but who are struggling to achieve their goals of education, peace and equality.Thousands of people have been killed by the terrorists and millions have been injured.I am just one of them.
…
Dear sisters and brothers, now it’s time to speak up.
So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favour of peace and prosperity:
We call upon the world leaders that all the peace deals must protect women and children's rights.
We call upon all governments to ensure free compulsory education for every child all over the world.
We call upon all governments to fight against terrorism and violence, to protect children from brutality and harm.
We call upon the developed nations to support the expansion of educational opportunities for girls in the developing world.
We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave—to embrace (拥抱) the strength within themselves and realise their full potential.
【1】Which of the following adjectives can best describe Malala according to this passage?

D. Aggressive and sympathetic.
【2】Malala was shot for the reason that ________.
A. she didn't behave herself on the bus

D. her father was an anti-Taliban activist
【3】What can we infer from Malala's speech at the United Nations?

B. Many girls in developing countries cannot receive education.
C. Many country leaders have changed their policies to protect women and children's rights.

24、Are You Using Your Time Wisely?
Time. You get the same amount every single day. It is predictable, with scheduled times for sunrises and sunsets. Time is one of the few predictable elements in life. 【1】 It doesn’t matter how much money or influence you have, it is the same for everyone.
What would you do if someone gave you $86,400 as a gift? Would you think long and hard about how you would use that money, and what fun or important things you would do with it? That’s the number of seconds we are given each and every day. But do you get up in the morning and think about what valuable and important things you will do with every second? Very few people do. So, start thinking about your “gift” of 86,400 seconds each day. Use them wisely each and every day. 【2】
Define what you care about. You have to make a living, pay the bills, attend to your family in need, finish the paper due for class and cook your meals. There are certain non-negotiables, but while you are doing all of these “have-to” things, consider what you care about. 【3】 Do you want to improve yourself? Do you want to learn something new? Do you want to gain insight or use the time you are doing these things to get in touch with your inner self? The point is that every activity in life gives you a chance for a deeper meaning if you establish first what you would like it to be.
【4】 If time is always beyond your management, start being more conscious of what you use it for and what you commit to. If you are a “yes” person who agrees to take on more than you should, consider saying “no.” If you do commit, break down what’s needed into small tasks so you can make gradual progress instead of rushing to get something done. Put things on the calendar. Plan for planning.
Get attached to your calendar. Plan “me time,” “thinking time,” and “time-to-plan time” in your notebook. 【5】 Stick to it deliberately (刻意地) until it is more natural for you.
Becoming more mindful and deliberate about your time will help you focus on it more thoroughly and find the gifts in every moment you are given.
A．Become a planner.
B．Do things mindfully.
C．Do you want to enjoy the process?
D．Don’t expect this will just unfold naturally.
E．No one gets more in a day than anyone else.
F．Here’s what you can do, especially if you are busy and time seems to disappear.
G．Most of us don’t live as if our time is limited, and therefore waste too much of it.
25、Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man _________ it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided _________. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary _________. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.

It _________ to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be __________ my time and yours by trying it on.”
