I was stopped at a red light only a mile or so from my goal of my brother’s house. We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly ill.
As I waited at the stop light experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharper’s Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things— floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer.
The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding where we lived. I can remember as a young boy going with him to deliver some food. I was scared. I had never been into this part of town this deeply before.
My father seemed unfazed (不受困扰的) by this and went about his business. The people we went to seemed to know him and gratefully accepted what he came to offer. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an arrogant act. He would stop at each place and talk a little, which I can remember totally pissing me off (使…厌烦). I wanted to get the hell out of there. My father wanted to be sure everyone had food. If there were people he found who didn’t have food, he would take the time to go back and get more. That’s the kind of man he was.
24. When the father was ill, he _______.
A. lived in North Carolina
B. gave away food to the poor
C. came to help the poor in his hometown
D. stayed at the home of the author’s brother
25. The author mentions the wine store to tell us _______.
A. the same taste as his father B. the life in his childhood
C. the experience with his father D. the birthplace of his father
26. The author was afraid of giving away food to the poor probably because _______.
A. his father didn’t stay with him then
B. his father didn’t take good care of him
C. he was unfamiliar with the surroundings
D. he had never met with so many poor people
27. The underlined word “arrogant” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. angry B. proud C. careless D. wild
C
Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.
When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.
Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.
Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.
The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.
Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.
28. Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?
A. Because he had quarrels with the crew members.
B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.
C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.
D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.
29. We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _______.
A. lost its way while sailing
B. lacked fresh water upon arrival
C. was being navigated by Selkirk
D. was running out of food upon arrival
30. How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?
A. By asking the crew members on the ships.
B. By sending messages to the ships’ captains.
C. By watching from his shelter high on the island.
D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.
31. The author wrote the text to _______.
A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe
B. promote sales to Robinson Crusoe
C. criticise Alexander Selkrik’s deeds
D. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration
D
Canada, which has long advanced its eagerness to attract foreigners, is experiencing a rush in the number of Indian students heading there for higher education.
Besides the country’s positive attitude toward outsiders, the chief attractions for Indian students are the lower costs for both tuition (学费) and living expenses, in addition to its easy visa requirements, according to students and guides who advise them about overseas study choices.
The number of Canadian student visas issued in India jumped to more than 12,000 in 2020, from 3,152 in 2018. While applications have increased at all levels, growth has been the greatest at community colleges. They offer very practical training that is very job-market focused and courses range from highly technical subjects like aircraft repairs to sports management.
Shreya Dasgupta, a recent high school graduate from New Delhi, plans to start studying economics and business in Canada this fall. Ms Dasgupta, 18, said that while she didn’t have a strong preference for any one country, she found Canada’s relatively open-minded visa rules attractive. “I think it’s easier than the United States,” she said. “And you do have job opportunities later on. In the US, it’s very expensive and it’s not sure that you’ll get a job.”
Kartik Rao, who has been admitted to a university in Montreal, also said that Canada is more welcoming. “Regardless of my getting a job, I have a three-year work visa which will allow me to work, which will in turn allow me to pay back my loan,” he said. Mr Rao, 25, thinks that his business degree in Canada will cost 35 percent to 40 percent less than what it would cost in the United States or in Britain. Also he believes that employment prospects in Canada are better. “The financial situation has forced people to look for new paths,” he said. “Canada was not as badly affected, which really tilted (倾斜) people’s views about Canada.”
32. Indian students who head to Canadian colleges may NOT be attracted by .
A. fewer requirements in visa application
B. lower costs for school and life
C. many famous places of interest
D. more chances to get a job.
33. What made Shreya Dasgupta decide to study in Canada?
A. That she likes Canada most among all the developed countries.
B. That it’s easier for her to get a visa and a job in the future.
C. That she is sure there are fewer job opportunities in America.
D. That her parents like Canada more than any other country.
34. From Mr Rao’s words in Paragraph 5 we learn that .
A. the relatively stable economic situation in Canada attracted more people
B. he may live in Canada forever after graduation from college
C. people don’t choose America because they can’t get a work visa
D. students majoring in business are more likely to find a job in America
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. More Indian colleges are providing students for Canada.
B. The relationship between India and Canada is strengthening.
C. The educational system in India is copying that of Canada.
D. More Indian students head to Canadian colleges.

How to Be Creative
Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 36 The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
1. Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 37 In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.
2. Try different things
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 38 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.
3. 39
Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 40 The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A. Take action
B. Seek several options
C. Think from the other person’s point of view.
D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.
E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.
F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.
G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.

书面表达【参考范文】
Boys and girls,
I’m honored to give this speech. With the development of society and economy, the number of private cars is increasing at a surprising speed. As we all know, cars give off poisonous gas such as carbon dioxide,causing global warming, frequent natural disasters, diseases and so on. In order to protect our environment, it is high time that we should go green.
Firstly, we should raise people’s awareness of the importance of going green. Secondly, using public transportation or riding bicycles instead of using cars can make a great difference to the problem. What’s more, we should take full advantage of water, electricity, paper, food and so on. Last but not least, it is a good idea to classify rubbish and recycle it in our daily life.
Please remember, no matter how small these things may look, your contribution counts! United, we can make a big difference! That’s all. Thank you.

W: Hi. I’ve just been to collect your new basketball shirts from the school.
M: Yeah, what do they look like?
W: I don’t know if you like them as much as last season’s－you had white ones then, remember? And the yellow picture on it made it easy to see you guys on the basketball field, didn’t it?

Fortunately, I only got a broken arm and a broken leg. The doctor said that I would have to stay in hospital for at least a week.
W: Do your arm and leg hurt now?
M: Yes, my leg hurts badly, but I can bear the pain. The only thing that I’m worried about is my classes. You know, our teacher said next week we would have our mid-term exams.

M: Thank you, but I don’t really want to stay here that long. Anyway, thank you for coming to see me.
Text 9:
M: I have with me this evening Louise Graham, a group leader at Ravensfield Outdoor Adventure Center for children. Louise, how long have you been there?
W: Well, before I first went there, two years ago, I thought I’d probably only stay for a year, but after six months or so I really started to enjoy the job. So I’ve been there ever since. To be honest, I was lacking in self-confidence, and when I first arrived, I was a bit worried about making mistakes. I was frightened I might put the children in danger because of my inexperience.
M: What’s the best thing about your work?
W: One thing I like is seeing them have so much fun, even if sometimes their behavior isn’t perfect. And I can suggest activities that haven’t been tried before. But there are always some children who haven’t quite got as much ability as others, and for me the most rewarding part of the job is getting them to succeed in things they haven’t managed to do before. It’s hard work though. Sometimes you are on duty at night.
M: Mm. What do you think about that?
W: Well, I can’t say I look forward to starting work at 10:00 p.m., but the kids have to be looked after 24 hours so someone has to do it and all the staff take turns.

W: Good morning, everyone. Here is the Entertainment Guide for this week. There is another exhibition of posters in Town Hall. Last year it was early holiday posters; but this time the exhibition will be of railway posters. The exhibition opens on Monday. Admission is free, and the exhibition is open from ten until five every day. If you can spend some time there, I’m sure you will enjoy yourself.
There’s a special feature at the Arts Center this week. It’s the very first performance of a new play, The Rose Garden, by a local writer, Alan Brown. This is Alan’s first stage play, but many of you have enjoyed his films on television. The play will be on Saturday. Be sure to book your seats as soon as possible, if you have not done so yet. If you like his films very much, I believe this play won’t let you down.
There is also a film, Detective in the Shadows, being shown this Sunday at the Arts Center Cinema. Book the tickets in advance just in case that you can’t get a ticket the very day you come to see the film. The place to go to make reservations is the Tourist Center. It is open from nine-thirty until four-thirty every day except Sunday and Monday. Also, you can book tickets on the Internet, just go to www. Artcentercinema.com.
