My family first moved to Colorado 22 years ago. Los Angeles was too expensive and it was difficult to find well-paying jobs and affordable housing. Colorado became our next dream place. Settling into a small town in the Front Range, my parents found hard jobs.
Growing up in this small town, I remember my parents working hard to get past the language barrier. My mom, especially, tried her best to ensure she knew all that she needed to know about like my parent-teacher meetings and extracurricular ( 课外的) activities. One of those extracurricular activities that I signed up for was football. At that age, football was cool and all, but I was more into playing Pokémon and other video games. Football didn't draw me in.
Big football tournaments (联赛) would come around like the World Cup, the Copa América and the Gold Cup, and the Mexican National Team would play in these tournaments. I would sit there in our living room and unmindfully watch the games while my parents would go crazy with enthusiasm ( 热情). I would sit there and play my game. My dad would look over and tell me that I should be paying attention carefully to the game and that I should care more about whether Mexico would win the match than my video games.
Both of my parents' workspaces were crowded ( 占满的) with other workers. My mom worked with people from all over Latin America. Everyone's topic of choice at work would always turn to how their national football team was doing. It was a way to show pride in the countries where they had grown up.
I grew up loving football more and more. The more I learned about my Mexican roots (根), the more I tried to find ways to express pride in them in the United States.
24. Why did the author's family move to Colorado
A. To make a better life.
B. To attend more activities.
C. To follow their football dream.
D. To receive a better education.

A. It was amazing.
B. It was important.
C. It was uninteresting.
D. It was difficult.
26. What would the author's father do when watching football games
A. Remind the author to watch them carefully.
B. Play video games with the author.
C. Learn English in their living room.
D. Guess who would be the winner.
27. The author's mom and her workmates talked about football in order to _____.
A. build a closer friendship
B. express their homesickness
C. share a common topic
D. show their pride in their motherlands
C
It's been 150 years this summer since building work was completed on the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. When it was completed, Tsar Nicholas I, the ruler of Russia, called it “a dream in stone”.
Important buildings have been built on this site for more than 1, 000 years. In the early 8th century, a church was built that became known as the West Minster. In the 11th century it was the location of a royal residence (王室宅邸). This was the first Palace of Westminster. The first official Parliament met there in 1295. Work on the palace continued until 1834, when the building was destroyed by fire.
In 1835, the architect Charles Barry was picked to design the Parliament building in a style known as “Gothic Revival”. Another architect, Augustus Pugin, helped with the inner part. The work overran and the costs rose to three times more than planned. According to one historian it cost 2.3 million — which in today's money is more than 4 billion. It finally reopened in 1870.
The Houses of Parliament are once again considered to be a serious fire risk. Small fires broke out 40 times between 2008 and 2012 and a fire safety team has to be on site. A report in 2016 said that maintaining the building was like “trying to fill a bathtub with a thimble (顶针) while the water is flowing out of the plughole ( 排水孔) at the other end”. In 2018, Parliament held discussions over its restoration and decided that its members would have to move out of the building during its refurbishment (翻新).
The plan is for everyone to move out by 2025 when the restoration will begin. It is said that it will cost around 4 billion and be completed by the early 2030s. The plans include taking away all fire risks, restoring the stonework and repairing around 4,000 windows.
28. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. The West Minster was a popular place for tourists.
B. The site of the Parliament building is historic.
C. Building the Parliament building took a long time.
D. People had different reasons to build a palace in Westminster.
29. What can we learn about the Parliament building
A. It cost less than expected.
B. It was completed on time.
C. It was being rebuilt for more than 30 years.
D. It was designed by Augustus Pugin alone.
30. What is the biggest problem the Houses of Parliament face now
A. A great fire risk.
B. No safety team.
C. A shortage of money.
D. No restoration workers.
31. How is this text mainly developed
A. By analyzing causes.
B. By giving descriptions.
C. By following time order.
D. By making comparisons.
D
Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.
Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV. But what about the man behind the character
Miller is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.
Miller didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English. He didn't even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university's singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. "My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place," Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end.
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龙帝国》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.
32、What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Michael Scofield in Prison Break. B.Hollywood's recent big hit—Prison Break.
C.Miller's unusual path to fame and fortune. D.The man who will take over all of the world.
33、The writer thinks "Miller is a hard guy to figure out" because _________.
A.it's difficult to tell him from others
B.he is a shy man and hard to cooperate with
C.he always has ideas hard for people to understand
D.his family background and life experience are very special
34、Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence "it all paid off for Miller in the end"
A.Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.
B.Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.
C.Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.
D.Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.
35、Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miller
A.He is chosen to play Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.
B.His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.
C.He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.
D.He is angry about his being born into a mixed cultural family.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, "A fight! Let's go and see!"
"No," said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me."
"You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go," said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed(尖叫) for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking.

Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved.

My Favourite Sport
Though there are different kinds of sports, swimming is my favourite. It was a very exciting experience to learn swimming with my parents when I was five years old.
Swimming is a really good sport. It makes me feel relaxed. This sport can make me stay healthy and strong, because I exercise almost every part of my body every time I go swimming.
Before going to swim, you should pay attention to three points. The first is to make your body in a better state. The second is that do not eat too much. Last but not least, you had better swim with some friends. These can help you stay safe and enjoy yourself.
读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams. Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and at the risk of drowning himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realised that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.

10、答案：1-3 ABC
解析：Hi, everyone! This is the monthly meeting of our club. We've been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we'll hear something different. We're honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it's challenging to be a health expert because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren't willing to change their views about food and nutrition, as there is so much confusing information online. It's really important to hear what experts say, and that's why we've invited Emma here. She isn't going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let's welcome Emma William.

My Favourite Sport
Though there are different kinds of sports, swimming is my favourite. It was a very exciting experience to learn swimming with my parents when I was five years old.
Swimming is a really good sport. It makes me feel relaxed. This sport can make me stay healthy and strong, because I exercise almost every part of my body every time I go swimming.
Before going to swim, you should pay attention to three points. The first is to make your body in a better state. The second is that do not eat too much. Last but not least, you had better swim with some friends. These can help you stay safe and enjoy yourself.
读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams. Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and at the risk of drowning himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert's life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realised that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
