Dietland, by Sarai Walker

If you’re sick of the stick-thin and perfectly slim models of society today, Dietland is for you. The funny novel follows Plum Kettle, an over-weight advice journalist who answers fan mail for a teen girls’ website. She’s convinced that her life won’t really start until she saves up enough money for her weight-loss operation — when she’ll finally look like the “perfect” woman. But after she gets pulled into a series of adventures with a group of women who live life on their own terms, she begins to reconsider her own opinions of what “beauty” really is.

Orhan’s Inheritance, by Aline Ohanesian

After Orhan’s Turkish grandfather dies, he learns that while he’s taken over his grandfather’s successful business, the house that’s been in his family for generations was not left to him. Instead, it went to an 87-year-old woman who lives in L.A. that no one in his family has ever heard of. To get to the bottom of this, Orhan travels to L.A. to meet with the woman. It’s then that he uncovers the secrets of his family.

22、   There are around 100 tribes(部落)that live in global isolation, mostly in South America and India. The Sentinelese have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60, 000 years. They protect their island by fighting against people from outside. Their language is different from any other known language. Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa. In the past, they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them. But in 1998, the Indian government built a road across their land, and since then, they’ve had more contact with the outside world.

Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories. The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribe at the beginning of the 20th century. Those who survived became nomadic(游牧的)and started hunting animals in the forest.

The Awa live in the Amazon forests ofBrazil. Out of 350 members, 100 have no contact with the outside world. They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans. In the following years, farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland. The Awa lost most of their hunting land. The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.

Survival, an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people, says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable(弱势的)humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us. After years of pressure, the organization got Brazil’s government to clear non-natives from the Awa land. All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back.

But some think it's impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever in a connected world. Contact will be made one day. So the question is：Whose choice should it be, ours or theirs?

【1】What can we learn about the Sentinelese from the first paragraph?

A．They resist contact from the outside world.

B．They speakthe same language as the Jarawa.

C．They are wild about fighting with other tribes.

D．They have got help from the Indian govemment.

【2】Why did the Awa choose a nomadic lifestyle?

A．To protect their hunting land.

B．To search for food sources.

C．To avoid threats from Europeans.

D．To maintain their original way of life.

【3】Which of the following would Survival probably agree with?

A．The tribes should be left undisturbed.

B．The tribes should fight for more living space.

C．The cribes should live in harmony with nature.

D．The tribes should adapt to the connected world.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．The Nomadic Tribes in the World

B．Seeking Survival of Tribes

C．The Unavailable Tribal Environment

D．Protecting the Tribal Forests

23、Ada Smith, chairwoman of a non-profit organization Protect the Earth, wore green for a special event with school children in New York on Wednesday. The 40-year-old woman stood against the cool weather in a long green coat that has been in her wardrobe (衣柜) for years.

She wore the coat for the first time in 2019 during her husband Bill Smith’s tour to a national environmental conference, and she put on it again in her classic sustainable (可持续的) style. Ada’s recycled outfit was perfect for the occasion, all about the environment.

Ada and Bill headed to the Central Park, where they spent time brainstorming ideas with students on how to deal with environmental issues. Ada said, “Education is such an important part of protecting our planet. We must inspire the next generation with the optimism, confidence and enthusiasm to chase those solutions and continue building a more sustainable future.”

Ada and Bill helped the students generate more than 60 ideas to help the environment. Ada said, “Young children already identify the climate as one of their biggest worries, and our organization aims to educate them that we can find the answers by working together.”

Their visit came ahead of an award ceremony, in which five winners will be announced in the first round of the environmental prize pioneered by Ada. Ada and Bill will appear at the ceremony on the next weekend, when they will walk the “green carpet” with activists committed to environmental causes.

Though their time with the children was part of a larger initiative, environmentalist Steve Johnson said, “They didn’t come there for a photo, but to sit, talk to and listen to kids. It is from the heart and people get that.”

【1】Why did Ada wear green?

A．To show a different dressing style.

B．To make herself more attractive.

C．To make herself match the event.

D．To fight against the cool weather.

【2】What is the key to protecting the earth according to Ada?

A．Teaching young children to participate in it.

B．Asking young children to study together.

C．Building the confidence of the next generation.

D．Inspiring more students to wear green clothes.

【3】What will Ada and Bill do on the next weekend?

A．Go to visit some students.

B．Attend an award ceremony.

C．Set up a non- profit organization.

D．Receive an environmental prize.

【4】What did Steve think of Ada and Bill’s action?

A．It’s costly.

B．It’s suspect.

C．It’s interesting.

D．It’s genuine.

24、A girls’ soccer team has gone from losing 20-0 each week to winning promotion to the top division—after a dad started coaching.

Golden Hill got routinely thrashed every time they competed in a game. The team now win regularly and secured promotion for next year. That is thanks to Stuart Henley. The 41-year-old car valeter (代客泊车的人), whose 14-year-old daughter plays for the team, took the job two years ago when the previous manager quit because no one else would.

Stuart renamed the team Leek Town Devils and started training hard in February 2020. Many players had never kicked a soccer before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. Stuart’s first season was disturbed by the pandemic (疫情), which forced him to get creative with training. He organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. Stuart then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of soccer like passing, shooting and movement. Each week the girls were asked to work on the bits that went wrong the previous Saturday and learn from them, which really helped the team improve.

Stuart recalled,“In our first game together, when we scored a goal it was like winning the World Cup. Although we lost the game, we didn’t care because the goal was a sign of progress.”

Stuart watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their another match. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. Their newfound form led them to a top-of-the-table battle this February, where they were sadly beaten. However, the team still have gone beyond expectation by winning promotion to the county's top division.

Stuart added,“We are about giving girls the chance to play soccer. We’re going into next season full of confidence and ready to compete against tougher competitors, but for now we’re really enjoying our victory.”

【1】What does the underlined word “thrashed” in paragraph 2 probably mean？

A．Defeated.

B．Challenged.

C．Trained.

D．Praised.

【2】What did Stuart Henley ask the team to do for the training？

A．Learn from the wrong.

B．Avoid team-building activities.

C．Abandon previous kicking skills.

D．Focus on high-level techniques.

【3】What did Stuart Henley think of the team’s performance for their first game？

A．It meant nothing to him.

B．It was a complete failure.

C．It hardly lived up to his expectation.

D．It deserved recognition and cheers.

【4】What does the author intend to stress about the team in paragraph 5？

A．Its future expectations.

B．Its amazing achievements.

C．Its disappointing failures.

D．Its true competing goals.
