21、Monopoly (大富翁) is a very popular board game around the world today, but little is known about its American inventor, Elizabeth Magie, and the philosophy behind her invention.

Born in 1866, Magie was a rebel against the norms and politics of her times. Inspired by Henry George who believed that all men should have an equal right to use the land as they have to breathe air, she challenged the capitalist system of property ownership —in the form of a board game. In 1904, she patented her Landlord’s Game, which consisted of a circuit of streets and landmarks for sale.

Magie’s game contained two sets of rules: The Prosperity rules and the Monopolist rules. The Prosperity rules stated that every player should gain each time someone acquired a new property. The game was won (by all!) when the player starting with the least money doubled his or her fortune. Under Monopolist rules, on the other hand, each player advanced by acquiring properties and collecting rent from all who landed there later. Whoever managed to bankrupt the other players won the game. The purpose of the dual sets of rules, said Magie, was for players to understand how these different approaches to property can lead to different social outcomes: “all win” or “win all.”

The game soon became a hit on college campuses and among Quaker communities, and some people modified the game board. An unemployed player named Charles Darrow sold this modified version to the manufacturer Parker Brothers as his own. However, when the game’s true origin came to light, Parker Brothers bought the patent from Magie for only $500. They then re-launched the game as Monopoly, including only the rules leading to the triumph of one over all. Darrow was publicized as the inventor who had become a millionaire from selling the game. Thus a rags-to-riches myth was created, ironically exemplifying Monopoly’s implicit (含蓄的) values: Chase wealth and crush your opponents if you want to come out on top.

【1】What is this passage mainly about?

A．The creation and modification of a board game.

B．A fight between patent owners of a popular game.

C．A socio-economic victory behind a landlord game.

D．The person who became a millionaire from a fun game.

【2】What was the main purpose of Magie’s Prosperity rules?

A．To emphasize the value of the capitalist system.

B．To introduce different approaches to obtaining new land.

C．To advocate that all should be rewarded when one acquires wealth.

D．To challenge George’s idea that men should have an equal right to the land.

【3】What does “a rags-to-riches myth” refer to in the last paragraph?

A．A modified version of Monopoly.

B．Darrow’s success after selling the game.

C．Parker Brothers’ purchase of Magie’s patent.

D．The popularity of the game on college campuses.

【4】Which of the following would best describe Magie’s feelings toward today’s version of her game?

A．Excited.

B．Relieved.

C．Doubtful.

D．Displeased.

22、   A textbook exchange is a business that buys and sells college textbooks. Textbooks can represent a significant part of a student’s education budget. By purchasing used textbooks or selling unneeded books to a textbook exchange, students can reduce their expenses significantly. 【1】Today, online textbook exchanges offer the service to nearly all locations.

Unlike the textbooks used in public education courses, college textbooks are required by only a small percentage of the university student population. These textbooks are often written by famous experts in a given field and sometimes by college professors themselves.【2】

Traditionally, university bookstores were the only sources for required textbooks. The success of bookstores that buy and sell used books inspired some businesses to copy the process for textbooks. A textbook exchange will purchase textbooks from students who have completed courses and no longer need the materials. 【3】 This can benefit students who are struggling to meet their tuition and living expenses.

Textbook exchanges on the Internet can accept used books from students anywhere in the world and deliver them almost anywhere through standard package delivery services. 【4】 They can compare prices on a national or even international level and choose the most reasonably-priced editions.

【5】 In addition to easing the financial burden on their fellow students, the business also gives the students experience in business skills, such as doing online marketing, analyzing pricing structures, and maintaining profit margins (利润).

A.As a result, they are usually very expensive.

B.Used textbooks can be bought in many ways.

C.It is aimed to fight the rising cost of college textbooks.

D.Such exchanges were once only found near large universities.

E.In fact, business students can even create their own online textbook exchanges.

F.Therefore, students are not limited to the books at their local university bookstores.

G.Then the business can re-sell the used books at a price much lower than their original costs.

23、   The potential of a simple gesture to capture the public’s imagination in a time of crisis was illustrated when 99-year-old British army veteran Captain Tom Moore decided to raise some money for workers and patients’ health.

Inspired by the excellent treatment he had received in hospital for skin cancer, he promised to complete 100 laps of his garden, using his walking frame for support, before his 100th birthday later that month. His aim was to raise a modest £1, 000. But news of Captain Tom’s efforts soon reached the ears of a nation through newspapers and TV features. He even teamed up with the singer Michael Ball to record a charity version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Several weeks later, Captain Tom completed his 100 laps ahead of schedule, having raised more than £17 million. “I never dreamt I would be involved in an occasion like this,” he announced. But the Captain Tom’s passion showed no sign of dying down. By the time he reached his 100th birthday on 30th April, he had raised nearly £33 million. He was honoured with a fly-past by Britain’s air force, and the public sent more than 1, 50, 000 birthday cards. His response? “To all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment… the sun will shine on you again, and the clouds will go away.” he said.

In honour of his achievement, Captain Tom was promoted to the rank of Honorary Colonel, and awarded a knighthood(骑士) on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The money he raised was used to provide comfort and care for National Health Service workers. “I’ve never been someone who does nothing,” he laughs, adding that he enjoyed the challenge. He believes the secret for his success—and his long life—is simple: “It’s all about having the right mindset. You’ve got to be optimistic and to think that things will get better.”

24、A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children．I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them．

My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured l7 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds．

Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time．Here are some famous slip-ups.

The mother of Bill Gates: “ If you’ re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’ t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’ t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W．Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The Miracle

Charlie entered the shop and laid the damp fifty pence on the counter.

“One Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight,’’ he said, remembering how much he had loved the one he had on his birthday.

The man behind the counter looked fat. The fat around his neck bulged out all around the top of his collar like a rubber ring. He handed the chocolate bar to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took an enormous bite. Then he took another... and another... and oh, the joy of being able to cram large pieces of something sweet and solid into one’s mouth!

“You look like you wanted that one, sonny, ’’ the shopkeeper said pleasantly.

Charlie nodded, his mouth bulging with chocolate.

The shopkeeper put Charlie’s change on the counter. “Take it easy,” he said. “It’ll give you a tummy-ache if you swallow it like that without chewing.”

Charlie went on wolfing the chocolate. He couldn’t stop. And in less than half a minute, the whole thing had disappeared down his throat. He was quite out of breath, but he felt marvelously, extraordinarily happy. He reached out a hand to take the change. Then he paused. His eyes were just above the level of the counter. They were staring at the silver coins lying there. Surely it wouldn’t matter if he spent just one more.

“I think,” he said quietly, “I think. I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars. The same kind as before,   please.”

“Why not?” the fat shopkeeper said, reaching behind him again and taking another Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight from the shelf. He laid it on the counter.

Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper...and suddenly...from underneath the wrapper.. .there came a brilliant flash of gold.

Charlie’s heart stood still.

“It’s a Golden Ticket!” screamed the shopkeeper, leaping about a foot in the air. “You’ve got a Golden Ticket! You’ve found the last Golden Ticket! You will be one of the five lucky children to be shown around Wonka’s chocolate factory. Watch out now, sonny! Don’t tear it as you unwrap it! That thing is precious!”

In a few seconds, there was a crowd of about twenty people clustering around Charlie, and many more were pushing their way in from the street.
