21、In the first days of the new year, a photo from Rio’s traditional fireworks show on Copacabana Beach has spread like wildfire on Brazilian social networks — a shot of a little boy, alone, wading into the water, separated from the joyful crowd celebrating and taking pictures behind him. Arms crossed, he stares up wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the fireworks in the sky.
Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9, the image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of shares and comments on social media, newspaper articles, blog posts and a national debate about race, class and inequality. To some, it’s just a photo of a young black boy attracted by the spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks. People need to stop thinking that all black boys, without shirts on, are abandoned, sad, alone and unhappy. To others, the image is emblematic of Brazil’s acute inequality.
About half of Brazil’s population of 200 million identify as mixed-race/black, second only to Nigeria. But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are underrepresented in academia, politics and leadership roles. Less than 10 percent of Brazil's Congress is black, and just 18 percent of leadership roles are held by Afro-Brazilians.
For Luiz Augusto Campos, a sociologist at Rio State University, the wide-ranging interpretations of the photo, as well as the explosive debate it generated, represents a changing tide for Afro-Brazilians. “The fact that it’s become so problematic is a reflection of a complex transition in terms of race in Brazil,” he said, adding that 20 or 30 years ago, the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it strengthened negative stereotypes(刻板印象).
“These changes are still relatively small in Brazil, but they have the long-term objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty,” Campos said.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The boy in the photo has been abandoned and needs urgent help.
B. Afro-Brazilians are mistreated because they are in the minority.
C. The debate the image generates worsens the acute inequality.
D. The boy’s age is mentioned in the news.
【2】Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “emblematic”?
A. Problematic. B. Representative. C. Objective. D. Significant.
【3】Which of the following statements may Campos agree with?
A. The debate reflects a positive tendency in Brazil.
B. The debate could have been more fierce 20 or 30 years ago.
C. The Afro-Brazilians should fight for their rights.
D. The Afro-Brazilians have successfully raised their social status.
【4】What problem does the photo reflect according to this passage?
A. The racial inequality in Brazil.
B. The social status of the Afro-Brazilians.
C. The stereotype to associate blackness with poverty in Brazil.
D. The Afro-Brazilians’ fighting for rights.
22、One man’s white bread is another man’s green vegetables.
That’s the key from The Personalized Diet, a new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav. The authors say it’s time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work, and when it comes to nutrition, it’s about doing what works best for your body, not catching the latest diet fashion.
“For years, we’ve been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we’ve been miserably failing,” Segal said. “And that’s because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual.”
They conducted a personalized nutrition project at Weizmann, where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes — not ice cream or candies — that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, “I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I’m feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me. I have already lost a couple of pounds, and I have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle, too.”
The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little or no rise in their blood sugar levels, while others have a stronger response, and therefore shouldn’t eat those foods. It’s those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalized diet.
“What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food, there is no such thing as good bread,” Elinav said. “The response to bread was completely individualized.”
【1】What is suggested in the first sentence?
A.Everyone has their own tastes.
B.Nutrition serves your body best.
C.The latest diet doesn’t fit each person.
D.People’s response to the same food is different.
【2】What kind of diet have we continuously pursued?
A.A diet that is low in fat and sugar.
B.A diet that works best for everyone.
C.A diet that begins a new diet trend.
D.A diet that provides all the nutrition.
【3】Ruti’s example suggests that to control weight, one needs to________.
A.eat much fewer tomatoes
B.control their blood sugar levels
C.struggle for weight loss constantly
D.eat according to his or her blood sugar level
【4】Why is Elinav’s opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To show the importance of good bread.
B.To explain the popularity of white bread.
C.To stress the need of the personalized diet.
D.To advise people not to eat unhealthy food.
23、 It was back in 2014. I learned I needed an operation to remove the tumor (肿瘤). Hearing the word “cancer” was the first shock, but knowing the surgeon would have to cut the front of my neck open was a lot to swallow. I was relieved to learn that thyroid (甲状腺) cancer can be treated if caught early, but 1 wasn’t thrilled it would mean a lifelong scar front and center on my neck.
Back at home, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I admired my neck, running my finger across a delicate gold chain I wore. Then came a tiny voice, “Mommy!” My then five year -old son. Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn’t know I had been diagnosed (诊断) with the Big C, or that I was having an operation. I patiently explained my condition to him and told him I would have a scar on my neck after the operation.
I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn’t want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I was his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it’s how you deal with them that matters.
The operation was successful. The recovery process, bearing it all, in the grocery store, out to dinner with family and on the summer camp pickup line, made me realize, if I could get through this phase (阶段),I could bear the scar of survival forever. The scar proves I looked at fear in the face and won.
People will ask about my scar even though it’s a very thin. dull line five years later. That means I have the chance to educate others about thyroid cancer and how they should. self-check their necks and remind their doctors to do the same, at yearly physicals. To me, the scar is like a superhero stamp.
【1】What’s the author worried about before the operation?
A.Her neck would look ugly. B.The tumor couldn’t be removed.
C.Jack couldn’t take care of himself. D.She would have difficulty swallowing.
【2】Why did the author decide to face the reality bravely?
A.She didn’t care how people liked her.
B.She realized she didn’t have other choice.
C.She wanted to set a good example to her son.
D.She felt lucky to have her cancer caught early.
【3】How does the recovery process turn out?
A.Regretful. B.Stressful.
C.Surprising. D.Meaningful.
【4】What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A.She has a better chance of education.
B.She feels proud of what she has done.
C.She has become an expert in cancer treatment.
D.She has suffered [rom poor health for five years.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood as he sat on the stoop(门廊)of his building. His father's voice came to him again, first reading the headmaster's letter, then lecturing endlessly about his poor efforts in maths.
“I had to leave school when I was thirteen. That's a year younger than you are now. If I'd had half the chances you have, I' ...A.nid you want to play basketball? That must be some kind of a joke. Now you just get into your room and hit those books.
It was beginning to cool. Soon large drops of rain splashed onto his jeans. Down the block there was an abandoned house. Without much thought, Greg made a dash across the street and entered a room. Suddenly he heard a man's voice behind him.“What are you doing here?"
“Who are you?" Greg hardly recognized his own voice.
“I'm Lemon Brown," came the answer.
He was an old man. It didn't seem that he was dangerous. “You aren't looking for my treasure, are you?” he asked.
“No. It is raining out." Greg answered, smiling. “You have a treasure?"
"Every man has a treasure." Lemon Brown said, “You want to see mine?"
“If you want to show it to me," Greg shrugged.
The old man carefully untied the strings, and revealed some yellowed newspaper clippings (剪报).
Then he started telling the story of his life. He was a famous blues singer in the past. His wife died young, and his only son went abroad to work.
“I gave him these newspaper clippings that told him who I was, and where he came from. One time I came home, there was a letter saying that he got killed in an accident. It broke my heart. They sent back these clippings. That was my treasure, and when I gave it to him, he treated it just like that, a treasure."
Lemon Brown put his rags in place and looked out of the window.

“You get on out of here and get yourself home," said Lemon Brown.
