21、Once elected as Boston Councilor at age 28, Michelle Wu, who entered public service out of frustration with the obstacles that her immigrant family faced, now has become mayor of Boston, pledging to make the city a proving ground for progressive policy.

Encouraged by support from the city’s young, left-leaning (支持改革的左倾) voters and by Black, Asian and Latino residents, Ms. Wu, 36 years old, whose parents immigrated from Taiwan, China, completely and thoroughly defeated City Councilor Anissa Essaibi George.

Ms. Wu, who grew up outside Chicago and moved to the Boston area to attend Harvard, was an unusual candidate for this city, and her victory sets a number of precedents.

Ms. Wu is the first woman and the first person of color to be elected mayor in Boston, which has been led by an unbroken string of Irish American or Italian American men since the 1930s. Ms. Wu will also be the first mayor of Boston not born in the city since 1925.

State Representative Aaron Michlewitz, a longtime friend and supporter, described Ms. Wu's victory as the outcome of years of disciplined work on governing.

“It’s not always flashy; it's not always something that gets a headline,” he said. “She doesn’t impress others with this huge presence when she walks into a room necessarily. But over time she chips away at the issues you care about. You start realizing how dedicated she is to the job and to the work.

On November 16th, Michelle Wu was sworn in, launching her unique political career.

【1】Who isn’t likely to support Michella Wu?

A．Young, left-leaning voters.

B．Black, Asian and Latino residents.

C．City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George.

D．State Representative Aaron Michlewitz.

A．She planned to be elected mayor of Boston in advance.

B．She went there, hunting for a better job.

C．Boston is a more prosperous and promising city.

D．She went there for further education.

【3】Which following sentence is WRONG according to the passage?

A．Ms. Wu from an Asian American family pledged to make Boston a progressive city in future.

B．Ms. Wu is not such a woman mayor born in Boston since 1925.

C．Ms. Wu was elected as mayor in Boston, ending the era of white male domination of Boston.

D．Ms. Wu is a disciplined and dedicated lady with huge presence.

【4】Why do you think Ms. Wu is elected mayor of Boston?

A．Because people wanted a change from Irish American or Italian American mayors.

B．Because she has received a distinguished education from Harvard University.

C．Because of her problem-solving capability and long term dedication to the public service in Boston.

D．Because she impressed people with her insightful remarks on many issues.

22、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need..

One day, an American was driving, too fast, in the west of Ireland when he was pulled over by a police officer. “what would happen if you were to run into Mr Fog?" the officer asked angry in his thick Irish accent. Annoyed by the police officer’s manners, the American replied,”【1】” The officer stared at him strangely and said,” I said fog.”

For one moment, the American, who happens to be anthropology(人类学家), thought he had come across those who liked personifying aspects of the weather.【2】

People in Britain do not usually say “I appreciate it,” have a hard time, reach out to other people, stay focused, ask to be given a break, refer to the bottom line or get blown away. The word ”scary,” as opposed to “frightening “or "alarming " sounds childish to British ears.【3】 This is a term which, if banned in America, would cause airplanes to fall from the sky.

The phrase "to feel comfortable with" is typically American. Using the word "agreesive" positively also sounds strange across the Atlantic. The habit of using the word "like" every four seconds, widespread among American youth, has now caught on in Brain as well. Perhaps it has to do with an expectation of not sounding dogmatic(教条的).

Americans tend to say "Excuse me" when they accidentally get in your way, while the British say "Sorry.” Americans say "Excuse me" even when they are 10 paces away from you, since they are accustomed to a lot more space than people are in Europe.【4】

Brits and Americans, in short, are stranger to each other than they usually imagine. Every now and then, an American will reveal that he or she does not understand the word "fortnight(两周), has never used a teapot or does not know how to boil an egg.

A. But it was just another case of international miscommunication.

B. Well, I guess I’d put Mr. Foot on Mr. Brake.

C. Sorry, I was driving too fast.

D. Given a choice, Brits prefer to use longer words.

E. Brits tend not to use the word “awesome”.

F. One knows one is back in the U.K, when everyone is constantly saying sorry for no reason.

23、Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He’d hiked the park numerous times. But when hiking along a new path, the 45-year-old was lost.

As the day faded into darkness, his concern turned to fear. With only a little water in his backpack and 10% battery remaining on his cellphone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour trip he’d planned.

Compean climbed to a spot where he found one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The shot showed his legs hanging over a rock face. All Compean could do then was wait. The temperature was dropping fast. Dressed only in shorts, and a sweatshirt, the hiker was chilled to the bone. He hugged himself into a tight ball. And after spotting two mountain lions, he spent the night on high alert.

Sixty miles away, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a posting from the police, showing an image of a man’s legs. The search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo, hoping someone might recognize the location.

“I’ve always loved looking for where photos are taken,” Kuo says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes or commercials were filmed. He’s often successful. When he saw the image, he automatically pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. “There’s an amazing amount of information you can get from satellites,” he says. The first thing he noticed in Compean’s photo was plenty of greenery. After comparing it to the satellite map, Kuo realized something: “He’s got to be on the south side because there’re not any green valleys on the north side.”

That finding led him to an area that looked like the territory in the image. The final step was cross- referencing the original photo with 3-D images of the area. The locations matched!

After spending 27 hours in the wilderness, Compean was found.

Compean’s story probably would have ended differently had it not been for the man with strong satellite skills and a sharp eye for detail.

【1】What caused Compean to get lost on the hike?

A．The thick forest.

B．The unfamiliar route.

C．The coming of nightfall.

D．Low battery on the phone.

【2】Kuo was able to offer help because of ______.

A．his photo reading ability

B．his sense of responsibility

C．his professional experience

D．his familiarity with the area

【3】What can we learn from this story?

A．One good turn deserves another.

B．Chance favors the prepared mind.

C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

D．There’s no such thing as useless knowledge.

24、It is generally acknowledged that a time-out, a method of checking misbehavior by removing the child from his or her current situation for a few minutes of quiet time, is bad for children’s emotional and behavioral health. However, a new study suggests that despite always getting criticized, the common disciplinary (纪律的) strategy isn’t linked to harmful effects on children.

Researchers compared emotional and behavioral health between kids whose parents reported using time-outs and those who didn’t over a roughly eight-year period. The result: no difference. There was no association between reported use of time-outs and negative symptoms in later childhood, including anxiety, depression, internalizing or externalizing problems, aggression, rule-breaking behavior, or self-control, according to the findings in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (儿科学).

“Parents are constantly questioning whether they are doing the right thing for their children. Unfortunately the first place many parents go for advice is the Internet — not a medical provider. There is a lot of conflicting information on the Web that isn’t accurate,” says lead author Rachel Knight, PhD, pediatric psychologist at University of Michigan C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital. “In fact, they may not be aware that time-out is one of the child discipline strategies currently recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics.”

Further studies are needed to continue evaluating specific claims made against time-outs and both their short-term and long-term effects across different populations and ages. Experts also need to find more effective ways to communicate evidence-based information to parents.

“As we further our understanding about how different parenting strategies affect children, we need to present findings in an easily digestible and accessible way for the public,” she also says, “Our goal is to clear up misconceptions and promote the use of the highly effective, evidence-based strategies that will best guide parents and families.”

【1】What do people generally think of a time-out?

A．It has negative effects on children.

B．It is an ineffective way of punishment.

C．It is a method to assess children’s misbehavior.

D．It has nothing to do with harmful effects on children.

【2】What can be inferred from Knight’s words in the third paragraph?

A．Most young parents lack medical knowledge.

B．Some information on the Internet needs regulating.

C．She is concerned about the overuse of time-outs.

D．The more time-outs are used, the better children behave.

【3】What is the target of Knight’s further research?

A．To recommend some effective strategies to parents.

B．To remove people’s misunderstanding about time-outs.

C．To appeal to government to regulate information on the Net.

D．To warn parents of getting evidence-based information from experts.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．How Parents Use Time-out Correctly

B．Time-outs Bad for Children’s Behavioral Health

C．Some Highly Effective Strategies to Guide Parents

D．Time-outs Not Associated with Negative Effects on Children
