21、 On a cold November morning in Y osemite National Park, on the south-west face of EL Capitan, Alex Honnold holds on to the side of the wall with nothing but the tips of his fingers and two thin edges of shoes, attempting to do something that professionals have long wanted to do--a“free solo” climb of the world's most terrifying cliff (悬崖). That means he is alone and climbing without a rope as he makes his way up more than half a mile of rock.
Paul Preuss, the father of the free soloing, stated the key of the climbing was to master a mountain with superior physical and mental skill, not “artificial aid". Having made some 150 ropeless climbs by the age of 27, he fell to his death in 1913 while free soloing in the Austrian Alps. But Preuss's ideas survived and inspired the “free climbing”movement of the 1960s, which supported using ropes and other safety equipment. The next free soloist appeared in 1973, when Henry Barber climbed up the 1,00--feet north face of Yosemite's Sentinel Rock without a rope. In 1976, John Bachar free soloed New Dimensions, a 300-foot cliff in Yosemite and Peter Croft free soloed two of Yosemite's most celebrated routes--- Astroman and Rostrum--in the same day.
Croft's achievement stood until 2007, when Honnold, then 22, astonished the world by repeating Croft's Astroman--Rostrum masterpiece and free soloed two famously tough routes in Zion National Park and Y osemite. Now, Honnold is attempting much higher goals and he is well on his way to completing the greatest rock climb in history.
【1】What can you learn about Alex Honnold from Paragraph 1?
A.He climbed with many other people.
B.He attempted to climb with artificial aid.
C.He free soloed the south-west face of EL Capitan with enough safety equipment.
D.He was the first person to attempt to free solo the south -west face of EL Captain.
【2】What does the underlined word“survived" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Lived longer. B.Continued to exist.
C.Escaped. D.Succeeded.
【3】What can you learn from the passage?
A.Climbers mustn't use aid of any kind in climbing.
B.One' s strength and will matter a lot while free soloing.
C.Climbers should use any safety devices while free soloing.
D.Ropes could only be used as an“artificial aid”while free soloing.
【4】What can best describe Honnold from the last Paragraph?
A.Ambitious. B.Encouraged.
C.Stubborn. D.Disappointed.
22、 I am waiting on a wooden bench in the open courtyard of an old house in Kolkata. It’s a summer morning, and seated next to me is a blonde girl in her early 20s. There’s almost total silence around us. “I can’t believe I’m here,” the girl speaks up suddenly. I smile back at her. We are in the house where Mother Teresa lives.
The year is 1989, and I am in my final year of college. A friend needs to pick up some documents from house number 54A on AJC Bose Road, where the famous founder of the Missionaries of Charity lives. Since Mother House is not far from my college, I have offered to help.
I meet a nun at the Missionaries of Charity office. She needs a little time to put the papers together and asks me to wait in the parlor. This is where I meet Sharon, a student from Minneapolis, in the U.S. Sharon grew up reading about Mother Teresa and dreaming of meeting her some day. She had started saving, from her pocket money and earnings from summer jobs, for her trip to India. She would meet Mother Teresa and volunteer at the Missionaries of Charity when she had enough for a return ticket, she had decided.
Today, she had been granted an audience with the woman who had touched her with stories of her kindness. “This has been my dream,” she says, lowering her voice. I could feel her excitement as she spoke.
“Have you met her before?” she asks me, assuming that I am waiting for my turn to meet Mother Teresa too.
“Um, no, I haven’t had the chance.”
She looks surprised!
I have lived in this city all my life, the city that Mother Teresa made her own, where she built an institution that saved millions, giving them a decent life, or dignity as they died. This is the place from where she inspired millions across the globe to come and volunteer and donate for her cause. Here is an American girl who has traveled thousands of miles to see her. And me, I’ve been here all along.

23、On Monday, American ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson and her partner Jim Morrison reached the summit of 26,781-foot Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. Soon after the 49-year-old Nelson began her descent（下降）on skis，she triggered small avalanche（雪崩）and was swept away. On Wednesday, Morrison found her body.
“Often times in life, people want to play it safe, and we make everything around us to be comfortable and safe,” ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson once said. “Therefore, we can make choices where you can see where that road is going to take you, and I've always been tending to make a choice that I don't know where it's going to take me.”
Nelson, a National Geographic Explorer, had a distinctive sense of travel that led her through more than 40 expeditions to 16 countries. In 2012, six years later, Nelson returned to Lhotse to become the first to ski from its summit.
She was deeply respected for both her extensive big-mountain experience, and her mindful approach to life's challenges. In 2018, Nelson was named captain of the North Face Athlete Team, a title only one other athlete has held. A National Geographic Society grantee, she was also one of the winners of the 2018 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year award. Despite her many super-hero accomplishments, friends recall her as a thoughtful presence and quiet leader, someone who never sought the limelight.
Throughout her career, Nelson struggled at times with the expectations and limitations of being a woman, a mother, and a professional adventurer---and becoming a role model for younger generations of female athletes in the process. “Nelson paved the way for women in the adventure sports space with her refusal to choose between motherhood and her athletic career," says Emily Harrington, a climber who joined her on the Hkakabo Razi expedition. “ She followed her passion as well as raising her family with a mix of courage and grace in a way only a true leader could.”

24、Almost everyone knows the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”, which means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks. That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project. The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington. D.C.
The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark. It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book.
Patricia Cooper organized the event. She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.
This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.
Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words-such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.
When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace. When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee (难民) camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”.
【1】According to the text, how to understand the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”?
A．Readers may miss a lot if they read a book just between lines.
B．People can learn more life lessons from others in the human library.
C．People can really understand the value of a book in the human library.
D．Readers can't underestimate the worth of a book because of its plain cover

【3】What do we learn from the human book of Brian Dailey?
A．His reactions to different cultures.
B．His international travel experiences.
C．His strong devotion to human rights.
D．His contributions to advances in society.
【4】Which of the following is the suitable title for the text?

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。
When my husband Randy died in late fall, deciding what to do with his garden was way down on the list of necessary tasks. During the first few months, I cried with our daughters, planned a memorial, cried with my family, celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving, and panicked over not having bought Christmas presents.
As the calendar turned to a new year, the often rainy days and long nights deepened my sorrow. I found myself exhausted at the end of February, both physically and mentally.
Then the daffodils bloomed (开花) in the garden.
Years before, Randy had planted dozens of these lemon-yellow flowers. To him, they served as a reminder of hope, a promise that light and warmth would soon replace cold and dark. Looking at those dauffodils, I thought about how Randy had considered our garden a living work of art, carefully choosing plants so we’d see new blooms every month.
Then I noticed all the weeds that had taken root and spread everywhere. The neglect (疏于打理) showed, for Randy’s illness had lasted a couple of years, a time when he didn’t have energy for yard work the way he had before.
Faced with the neglected garden, I felt overwhelmed in the beginning. My daughters suggested I hire a service to clean everything up. I didn’t respond.
Every time I sat in the garden alone, the memories of the lively garden came flooding, like the numerous scenes in an unforgettable film. Many days Randy came home from work, changed into old clothes, and headed out the door to mow or prune (修剪). Orange dragonflies followed him around the yard as he worked. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers, birds sang beautiful songs, and gentle breezes carried the sweet smell of dirt. No matter how cold or wet it was, the fresh air and physical activity made him energized and refreshed. For Randy, the work was quiet and comforting, which was a relief, as well as a pleasure.
