22、What makes a sports event a winner? Exciting action? Tick. Athletes competing to win honour and glory for their club or motherland? Tick. History and tradition? Tick. Delicious snacks? Tick. Most people think global events such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup are the most exciting, but there is some serious competition. Here’s a look at some of the hottest tickets in sports.
The World Series
The World Series is the final championship of the American baseball leagues. The seven-game series is played in October or November and attracts a great number of fans. Baseball is one of America’s favourite sports and has many traditions, such as the "seventh-inning stretch (七局伸展操)". The song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is played so that everyone can get up after sitting for a long time. The break is also a good time for a snack. Hot peanuts are a hit with hungry baseball fans, but the hot dog is the real winner!
Indian Premier League
Cricket is from England but has become as Indian as saris and curry. The Indian Premier League has the largest audience of all cricket leagues in the world and is the sixth most-watched sports league in the world. Cricket is a unique sport and may seem a little confusing at first, but once you start learning the rules, you’ll love it. The most popular cricket snacks are finger foods like biscuits and cucumber sandwiches.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon is a treat for all tennis fans. The tournament started in 1877 and many of the rules are the same today. For example, the players may only wear white clothes. The event, however, is quite colourful since fans often dress up for the games and wear amazing hats. And when it comes to snacks, it’s "game, set, and match" at Wimbledon. Where else can you enjoy champagne and strawberries as you cheer for the champion?

【3】Which event has a strict clothing requirement for players?

23、The US plans to extend its endangered species protection to lions in Africa. US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will classify lions in southern and eastern Africa as threatened. The move will place tighter restrictions on the import of lion “trophies(纪念品)”, such as paws or heads.
While the US cannot regulate hunting in other countries the move is significant because around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans. According to FWS data, more than 5, 600 lions have been killed and imported by American hunters over the past decade.
Under the new FWS rules, bringing lion parts to the US will be banned(禁止) in most circumstances if the animal is from a country where lions are endangered. Hunters will have to show the trophies were “legally obtained” from countries that have a scientifically sound management program that benefits the subspecies in the wild.
This regulation is expected to place a far greater burden of proof upon hunters who claim that the money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa and the overall conservation of lions. The persistent downward trend in lion numbers, due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists, suggests there has been little conservation(保护) benefit from organized hunts.
An international study, published in September, found African lion numbers have decreased by half since 1993, with a further 50% decline expected over the next 20 years for populations in west, central and east Africa.
“The lion is one of the planet’s most beloved species and an irreplaceable part of our shared global heritage,” said Dan Ashe, director of the FWS. “If we want to ensure that healthy lion populations continue to wander around the African savannas(大草原) and forests of India, it’s up to all of us—not just the people of Africa and India--to take action.”
【1】Why is the move of US significant?
A. The lions have been killed and imported by American hunters.
B. That is due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists.
C. Around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans.
D. The money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa .
【2】Where do most of the lion hunters come from?
A. Southern Africa. B. America.
C. Eastern Africa. D. India.
【3】What may be the result of the move?
A. The import of lion parts will be strictly limited.
B. Lion-hunting will be illegal all over the world.
C. communities in Africa will benefit a lot.
D. Lion parts will never be legally obtained.
【4】What does Dan Ashe really want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Almost everybody loves lions.
B. It’s everyone’s duty to protect lions.
C. Lion populations will increase rapidly.
D. Measures must be taken to keep lions fit.
24、In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. 【1】
For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else. 【2】 And white is not practical.
Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. 【3】
They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding Prince Albert.
【4】 Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown(女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry and her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 【5】 Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century.
A．So why do so many of today’s brides wear white?
B．But why are brides so particular about their dresses?
C．It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time.
D．Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.
E．It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends.
F．Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again.
G．In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white.
25、When I was eight, I wanted a toy and needed $10 to buy it. But, as usual, I was broke. I decided to ask my 11-year-old sister, Kathleen, for a loan. I went to her room, _________ her for the cash. Laughing, she agreed to lend me the money, but added, “I will charge you 10 percent compound interest (复利) every _________ until you pay me back.”
“Compound interest — what’s that?” I asked.
“Well, interest is what you call the _________ money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,” she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the _________ you take to pay back the loan. To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your _________ will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be charging you interest on $11. Then I will add that interest to the $11 you already owe me, for a _________ of $12.10. That’s what you’ll owe me after two months.”
“Sure. I get it,” I said. Though truthfully, I was getting _________.
Kathleen lent me the money, and I bought the toy. My birthday came a month later, and my mom gave me $10. _________, that was just the amount I needed to buy another toy I wanted _________. I put off paying my sister for a month. However, after another month, I __________ about the loan.
Several months later, on Christmas morning, my sister and I each found a $20 bill in our stockings. I was just putting it into my pocket __________ Kathleen tapped me on the shoulder.
“Sorry, kiddo. That’s mine. I’m __________ on your debt.”
“Huh?” Then I __________ the loan. “Hey! How can it be that much? I __________borrowed $10.”
“True,” she said, “but interest has been compounding for eight months. Now you __________ me $21.43.” She paused, then added. “You can pay me the $1.43.”
I __________ to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my __________, my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.
My head __________ as I tried to keep track of Kathleen’s __________, but this time, I got the basic idea of compound interest. I __________ the hard way that borrowing money can be “double trouble” in no time.

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。
As a woman walked down the streets one day on a cold day in February, she spotted a beggar. The man looked dirty, and didn’t even wear a proper coat. Every passer-by looked at him with contempt. Not like they had anything against him, but merely because of who he was: a dirty beggar.
“Sir? Are you all right?” The lady asked him. The old beggar thought that this well-dressed, obviously wealthy lady, was laughing at him.“ Leave me alone!” he shouted. She did not move.“ Are you hungry?” she asked with a gentle smile.“ No, I’ve just had lunch with the president.” the beggar replied sarcastically. Her smile did not fade, and she tried to pick him up.“ What do you think you are doing, woman!” the beggar cried.
“Is there a problem ma’am?” a passing policeman asked.“ Not at all, officer. I’m just trying to get this man on his feet.” the woman replied. Surprised, the policeman said:“ That’s old Jack, he has been here for years. What have you got to do with him?” “I am taking him to the cafeteria to get warm and eat something.” the woman answered.
Angry, the old beggar now shouted:“ Are you crazy!? I don’t want to go in there!” But then he felt strong hands lifting him up.“ Let me go, officer. I didn’t do anything!” “Don’t miss this good chance to feed yourself, Jack.” the officer advised. Together, they dragged Jack into the cafeteria. She stared at Jack and said:“ Jack, do you remember me?” “Well, you do look familiar.” Jack said while examining her face.
