21、 A Chicago six-year-old girl’s decision to feed the homeless instead of receiving presents on her birthday is touching the hearts of many not only in the area, but also across the country.
Armani Crews had been begging her parents for a few months to feed homeless people in her community.
“I said, ‘OK, we’ll make some sandwiches,’ to which Armani said, ‘No. I want the same thing we’d have at my birthday party,’” her mother recalled.
Even when her father, Antoine, told her that if she wanted to go through with this, she wouldn’t get a birthday gift, the girl, whose birthday was March 5, wouldn’t give in.
So the Chicago family spent about $300 buying food to send to homeless people in the city’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. They bought chicken, fish, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.
After Armani mentioned her plan at the family’s local church, the church members donated (捐赠) other items to create care packages for the homeless.
Armani’s birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.
In a statement, the six-year-old girl told ABC News, “It was nice to be nice.” Her mother added, “She was excited and happy. Everybody was being fed. One gentleman said he hadn’t had a hot meal in a long time.”

22、American actress Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for her work in the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny. People laughed when they saw her film character telling a boyfriend that they need to get married. Why marriage? Because her biological clock is ticking and she wants a baby.
“Well I hate to bring it up because I know you got enough pressure on you already. But…we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case(law case). Meanwhile, ten years later…my niece…the daughter of my sister is getting married. My biological clock is ticking like this (stomp, stomp, stomp). And the way this case is going…I ain’t never getting married.”
“Lisa, I don’t need this. I swear to God I don’t need this right now.”
Using it this way, a biological clock means the time in a woman’s life when she is able to bear children. In the not-so-distant past, most people thought that when a woman reached her 40s it was too late for her to have children. The time on her biological clock had run out.
Well, that has changed. These days some women are resetting their biological clocks. They are giving themselves more time to have children.
Make no mistake. Being a “Single Mother by Choice” is very different from younger women who find themselves pregnant, perhaps not by choice.
Generally speaking, single mothers by choice are older and well educated. They are usually financially secure and successful in their careers. So, they have the money. What they may not have is a partner.
This is the place in life where writer Kerry Reichs found herself several years ago. She says she did not plan to become a single mother. She says she just did not find the right partner.
“Well, I think I had a set of standards for the partner I was looking for and I didn’t meet anyone that fit those standards. And, at 39 I found myself single, without children and I wanted them very much. So, I made the difficult decision that I could do this on my own.
【1】 According to the passage, what is a biological clock?
A. It’s a clock made of biological matters.
B. It refers to a women’s certain life period.
C. It records when women need to bear children.
D. It refers to a woman in her 40s.
【2】 According to the passage, in the past, when a woman reached her 40s, ________.
A. she can’t get married.
B. she might not be able to have children.
C. her biological clock will need to be reset.
D. her status of being a single mother is difficult.
【3】What does “Single Mother by Choice” mean?
A. It means single mothers have a choice.
B. It means single mothers are pregnant by chance.
C. It means single women in their late 30s or early 40s decided to have children.
D. It means women want to make a choice.
【4】 What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Choosing to be a single mother.
B. A woman’s biological clock.
C. Getting married by force.
D. Single women wanting marriage.
23、As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. "We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,“ remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu , China's Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary that aired on April 7.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du's poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film traces the poet's life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong(713 —756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment.
However, as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I'd house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles”.
“That is why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,“ Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.
Without doubt, Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China, but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China. As the documentary noted, his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world, not just China.
【1】What can we know about the documentary?
A．It introduces Shakespeare.
B．Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it.
C．Its target audience is Chinese.
D．It shows 15 of Du Fu's poems to the audience.
【2】What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 6 refer to?
A．Caring about common people.
B．My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales.
C．The low position in the government.
D．The sentence of the poem.
【3】What most inspired Du's creation according to Shi Wenxue?
A．His work experience.
B．Hard life and his caring spirit.
C．The An Lushan rebellion.
D．The Tang dynasty culture background.
【4】In which section of a website may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.
C．Literature.
D．Science.
24、First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
First aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury , for example, can lead to permanent spinal(脊柱的) injury and paralysis( 瘫痪)。
Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious(有意识的)， should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for the medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for assessing a victims condition is known by ABC, which stands for:
A---Airway: is it open and clear?
B---Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C---Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding extremely?
Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
【1】Before we give first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ___________________.
A. make sure what to do and what not to do B. refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C. remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing D. take him/her to a hospital at once
【2】According to this article, first aid is usually provided by _______________
A. professional doctors B. the victim’s family members
C. the victim’s friends D. those who are not necessarily professional doctors
【3】Which of the following is NOT true when you assess a victim’s condition?
A. Checking whether there is a pulse. B. Looking, listening and feeling for breathing.
C. Replacing his/her medical card. D. Examining whether the airway is open and clear.
【4】The purpose of the passage is to tell readers___________.
A. the importance of protecting the accident scene. B. some basic knowledge about first aid.
C. what professional medical help is. D. who can give first aid.
