Reporter: What ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant, Chris

Reporter: What did you do next
Chris: I flew to N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant
Chris: Not too l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about USD 6, 000.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey
Chris: Tara and I set ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India where there is a big elephant market and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey
Chris: Yes, a few. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur
Chris: My plan was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to sell Tara. But by now I was very fond of her. I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market. By chance, I met some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.

THIS year the US Mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.
“Mark Twain”, the pen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).
Now he is going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.
The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.
Motherless Hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isn’t really looking for freedom, but survival. 【出处：21教育名师】
It’s even mor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).
Huck and Jim’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.
Mark Twain is fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
With the race issu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.
1. How many nov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )els is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
2. Why is The Adventu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )res of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works
A. It talks about ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w a black slave runs away from his violent owner.
B. It describes a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n everlasting friendship between people of different races.
C. It describes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.
D. It talks about a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) white American understanding the African American experience.
3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true
A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.
B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.
C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.
D. Without the special coins, he’ll probably be forgotten.
4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.
A. still being there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). B. Becoming more serious.
C. Being in d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anger. D. Gone for a long time.
5. What’s the main purpose of the article
A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
B. To tell read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.
C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.
D. To draw r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eaders’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.

“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car ”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house ”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are ” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Looking at art shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d be like walking in the countryside.You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that's part of the fun of it. You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature..
Of course, if ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭) it .
Braggarts enjoy an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque(巴洛克风格的) paintings. In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings.
It is a mistaken ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输) amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏) it. Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的), unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the woods. Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it.
Yet it is bes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t done when you're away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh. Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直觉) fly off. Art is a journey in the . wilderness or it is nothing at all.21教育网
1. What does the writer mainly want to say .
A. Art is best with the help of apps..
B. Art is best when hidden in mystery.v
C. Art is nothing compared with nature..
D. Art is nothing when details and facts are known..21·cn·jy·com

B. people who like baroque paintings.
C. those who are good at appreciating art.
D. those who are good at painting with phones.

B. How to personal research into a work of art.
C. How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh.21*cnjy*com
D. How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art..
4. what can we infer(推断) from the passage .
A. Because of apps, art will be ruined in the future..
B. A good piece of art is usually made about nature.
C. Research work and intuitions can both help understand art..
D. Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones..
参考答案：
1.推理判断题。根据第四段“It is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate it .Our first experience of a work of art should be raw, unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the woods”为了欣赏作品需要灌输一些关于艺术作品的事实这种想法是错误的。对艺术的体验应该是生的，没有指导的，有一点迷惑的，就像走在树林的小路上，最后一段“Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all”艺术是在荒野里的旅行。可知作者主要想表达的是艺术最好被隐藏在神秘中。故选B。
2.词义猜测题。根据“enj ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge”喜欢一种应用程序来炫耀他们的知识，可知braggarts的含义是喜欢炫耀的人。故选A。
3.段落大意题。根据“Our fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rst experience of a work of art should…” 以及“Later, you might choose…”可知第四段主语讲述怎样去欣赏艺术作品，为了欣赏作品需要灌输一些关于艺术作品的事实这种想法是错误的。对艺术的体验应该是自然状态的，没有指导的，有一点迷惑的，就像走在树林的小路上；然后你还可以选择对艺术作品做一些研究，能进一步增加对艺术的欣赏。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Later, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it”选择对艺术作品做一些研究，能进一步增加对艺术的欣赏，及最后一段“let your intuitions fly off”让你的直觉飞出来。可知研究和直觉都能帮助理解艺术。故选C。

Resting her phone on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session—her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor (继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host.
“Though the sales of C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment (设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft.
She has integ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination (决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago.
She has more than 200 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture.

THIS year the US ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.
“Mark Twain”, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).
Now he is going to ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.
The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.
Motherless Huck Finn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isn’t really looking for freedom, but survival.
It’s even more o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).
Huck and Jim’s frie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.21·cn·jy·com
Mark Twain is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.
With the race issue(种 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.2·1·c·n·j·y
1. How many no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
2. Why is The Adv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works
A. It talks about h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow a black slave runs away from his violent owner.
B. It describes an e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )verlasting friendship between people of different races.
C. It describes the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.
D. It talks about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a white American understanding the African American experience.
3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true 21*cnjy*com
A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.
B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.
C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.
D. Without the special coins, he’ll probably be forgotten.
4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.
A. still being t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here. B. Becoming more serious.
C. Being in dange ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r. D. Gone for a long time.
5. What’s the main purpose of the article
A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
B. To tell readers abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.
C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.
D. To draw rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ders’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.

A friend of min ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul ” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing Boy, I wish…”He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car ”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house ”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are ” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

Of course, if y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭) it .21教育名师原创作品

It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it.
Yet it is best don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e when you're away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh. Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直觉) fly off. Art is a journey in the . wilderness or it is nothing at all.

On a windy day i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n June, Fourth Class took the train to Chinatown. We had begun to learn Putonghua and our teacher said this excursion would let us practice our language skills and learn more about Chinese culture.www-2-1-cnjy-com

The next place we visi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted was the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was very peaceful.

hanging from the ro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of and red dragons on the walls. The waiters greeted us in Putonghua and we answered them in Putonhua. We were shown how to use chopsticks and how to choose from the menus with Chinese writing.
At 2: 30 we left ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Chinatown. We were all very tired. On the train, our teacher told us her experience in China. She was just back from seeing the Great Wall of China. It's like a long dragon winding its way. We were told it is the longest wall in the world. As we were listening.one student, who I couldn't name, fell asleep on the train and snored loudly. His face turned red when he woke up.
In the past, I ofte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n told my Chinese classmates how to speak English. Now there are more people than ever who are studying Chinese.

Resting her ph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one on a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session—her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft (手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor (继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host.
“Though the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment (设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft.
She has integra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination (决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago.
She has more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture.
