On June 2, 2015, Presi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dent Barack Obama awarded Henry Johnson, a World War I soldier, the Medal of Honor. It was the result of a long campaign for a soldier whose heroism had gone unrecognized because of racial discrimination.
Johnson was o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne of the soldiers serving as guards in France in 1918 when they were surrounded by more than a dozen Germans. The Germans opened fire on them, wounding Johnson over 20 times, but he fought on even after his weapon wouldn’t fire anymore.
Though prais ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed by his fellow soldiers and awarded the French Croix de Guerre (法国英勇十字勋章),he was denied the Medal of Honor in his own country.
The efforts to get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the soldier recognized have been filled with starts and stops. The work was supported by the office of Charles Schumer, who handed in a 1,258-page recommendation for the award in May 2011 after a great many new documents were discovered.
“A lot of people ad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vocated for this over a long period of time,” said a member of Schumer’s, Caroline Wekselbaum, who had spent thousands of hours on Johnson's case.
Their effort to g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et Johnson the Medal of Honor was blocked in 2003 by Air Force General Richard Myers, who wanted more evidence.
But Schumer’s office ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) kept looking for more documentation. One of their findings was a telegram during the war, which mentioned the heroism of Johnson.
Caroline expressed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) disappointment at the way Johnson was treated. As a black soldier, he and his colleagues were sent to the short-handed French military, but not allowed to fight in the U.S. force.
Johnson’s life afte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r World War I was filled with highs and lows. His injuries were never properly documented, so he did not receive any medical benefits. He died poor in July 1929, 11 years after his heroism.
5. Obama awarded Henry Johnson in order to
A. show the equality between all races
B. correct a mistake he had made
C. set a good example for soldiers
D. approve Henry Johnson^ heroism
6. What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Johnson fought bravely without weapons.
B. Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.
C. Johnson’s fellow soldiers thought highly of him.
D. Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.
7. How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A. People had g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reat difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.
B. The work of maki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng the government recognize Johnson went very well.
C. A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.
D. People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.
8. What on earth resulted in Johnson^ being mistreated
A. Lack of evidence of his actions.
B. Racial discrimination.
C. His fighting for French military.
D. No documentation of his injuries.

Cities around the wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld have started to use composting (堆肥)as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋)and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also bums fuel and contributes to global post is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leflover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料)for plants and vegetables.
South Korea us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage,” “food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”,or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals and NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.
Some people are not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.
But in Portland, OR ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It,s encouraging us to make less waste,and it doesn’t smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often,” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.
9. Which is NOT the advantage of composting according to Paragraph 1
A. Reducing pollution.
B. Recycling organic waste.
C. .Contributing to global warming.
D. Saving money used to transport waste to landfills.
10. From Paragraph 2 we learn that _______.
A. a South Korean will be fined if he doesn’t sort garbage
B. only kitchen waste is expected to be sorted in Canada
C. worm composting is the best way of compost in NYC
D. composting systems are operated all over the world
11. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2
A. Compost. B. Fertilizer.
C. The waste. D. The pilot program.
12. What does Paragraph 3 tell us
A. The future of composting.
B. The problems of composting.
C. People’s opinions about composting.
D. The bad effects of composting on people’s lives.
D
A team of Oscar-winn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing producers is working on a film about the life and death of Vincent Van Gogh.
Entitled Loving Vincen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t, it’s a hand-painted animation based on hundreds of paintings and letters by the artist. It’s not only about the art that Van Gogh created, but also about him as a person.
As a painter, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )film’s director Dorota Kobiela says she was inspired by the artist’s unique style and his own words — we can only speak through our paintings.
“We have over fifty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) painters on this film and each needs to be able to paint to an incredibly high level,” says the film’s producer, Hugh Welchman.
They have to hand-pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )int about 57,000 paintings, all of which are oil on canvas (帆布)to get the original Van Gogh’s look. The animator uses material and paint based on a projected (投射的)picture, covering the previous image with another image.
“The image is dis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )played on the canvas by a projector behind me. I can see the main lines and the movement required. I paint the contours (轮廓)to create the movement and then I can sense, from what I see in the live preview, whether the animation will work. When the painting is ready, a photograph is taken and the process starts over again. After twelve frames we have one second of movie material. Matching each image to the previous one requires extremely precise work. Patience is a must,” says Anna Kluza, one of the artists on the project.
Described as an in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vestigation into the life and controversial death of one of the world’s most beloved painters, as told through his paintings, the characters that exist in them and dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to his death, Loving Vincent is expected to be his screens in two years ’ time.
13. What’s the film mainly about
A. The paintings of Van Gogh.
B. The reasons of Van Gogh’s death.
C. The life and death of Van Gogh.
D. The present comments on Van Gogh.
14. Why does Dorota Kobieta want to direct such a film
A. She wants people to research the famous artist.
B. She is affected by Van Gogh’s artistic achievements.
C. She wants to teach die painters how to paint precisely.
D. She is inspired by Van Gogh’s works and words.
15. According to the passage, how long may the film finally last
A. 30 minutes or so.
B. Less than an hour.
C. Nearly two hours.
D. About 80 minutes.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能 填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余 选项。
While the thought o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f family travel may make you in a panic, here is some advice from seasoned travelers, travel agents and other experts to help you reduce the stress.
16
You need to de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cide as soon as possible when everyone can leave and return. Fares are only going up. To wait until the last minute in hopes of getting a deal just creates more stress.
2. Manage expectations.
No vacation i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s ever perfect,so don’t over-promise. 17 Bags can get lost, flights can get canceled and people can say and do the wrong things.
3. Make it a team effort.
Allow everyone to voi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce suggestions in planning. 18 Multigenerational groups, in particular, have a wide range of needs and interests: Older grandparents may have health issues; active teenagers and young adults will be seeking age-appropriate activities and entertainment.
4. Choose a leader.
We need someone to mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e final decisions and assign (分派)tasks. Generally, the middle generation (travelers aged from 35 to 54) tends to take the lead when it comes to planning for multigenerational travel.
If there is no natural ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) leader in your family, it may be less stressful to turn to travel agents for planning advice. 19
5. Be flexible.
While it’s nic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to keep family traditions, giving up your usual destinations and finding a new place for your family holidays may give you pleasant surprises.
20 It is much c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heaper. Consider the week after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, which starts around December 15.
A. Do stay calm in face of trouble.
B. Make plans sooner rather than later.
C. Also think about avoiding peak travel dates.
D. Remind everyone that there will be problems.
E. You can have a family discussion to choose a leader.
F. They also can help solve problems when travel plans go wrong.
G. When people have h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad their say, they’re more likely to feel satisfied.

I love peace and hate war
As we all know, wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r is still a serious problem in the world today, and I must say I love peace and hate war.
There’s no dou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bt that people all over the world long for peace. Peace is of great benefit to the world. With peace, all the countries in the world can establish harmonious relationships and promote advanced development hand in hand. Peace gives individuals enough freedom and guarantees that we can work and study happily. War, on the other hand, is the root of disasters, which leads to economic depression, the spread of terrible diseases and severe famine.
All in a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll, for the good of our whole world, it is our responsibility to say no to war and make contributions to world peace.
阅读理解
A
本文介绍如何使网站建立变得更容易。
1. C。推理判断题。通读全文可知,这是一篇网络广告,告诉人们使用他们的网站建立器资源会使一切变得更加容易。
2. B。细节理解题。根据REVIEWS中的By reading comments from other people可得出答案。
3. A。词义猜测题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据后面的a variety of topics that affect websites and webmasters可知,这里文章内容广泛,所以“span”是“涵盖”的意思。
4. C。推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,本文目标读者为想建立自己网站的人,答案选C项。
B
一位一战黑人士兵100年后获得奥巴马总统的认可。
5. D。推理判断题。通读全文可知, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一战黑人士兵Henry Johnson的英勇行为在将近100以后的今天才获得认可,奥巴马总统亲自颁发勋章。
6. C。细节理解题。根据第二段可知, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Johnson在枪里没有子弹以后还继续战斗,而不是没有武器徒手与敌人战斗,所以A是错误的;Johnson受了20多处伤,但一直坚持战斗,所以B项是错误的;从第三段前半句里的praised by his fellow soldiers可知,C项是正确的;从后半句可知,the Medal of Honor是美国的一种勋章,法国授予Johnson的是the French Croix de Guerre,所以D项是错误的。
7. A。推理判断题。根据划线句子中的s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tarts and stops以及第六段的例子可知,让Johnson得到官方认可这项工作困难重重,极其不顺利,所以A选项最符合题意。
8. B。推理判断题。根据第一段最后的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )because of racial discrimination以及第六段的As a black soldier可看出,造成Johnson受到不公待遇的根本原因是种族歧视,故选B项。
C
一些城市开始把堆肥作为一种处理垃圾的有效方法。
9. C。细节理解题。第二句提到运送垃圾到填埋场耗费燃料,加剧气候变暖,这是运送垃圾的弊端,显然不是堆肥的益处。
10. A。细节理解题。根据第二句可判断A是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )正确的;B选项中的only是错误的;在纽约, worm composting是composting pilot program的一个项目,但没提到是the best way,所以C项错误;本段只是列举了几个实行堆肥的城市,并不说明世界各地都这么做,所以D项错误。
11. C。代词指代题。wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m composting是指蚯蚓吃了废物,废物经过蚯蚓的身体变成肥料,所以“it” 这里指 “the waste”。
12. B。主旨大意题。第三段举例 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )说明堆肥过程中存在的问题,所以选择B项。没提到“未来的发展前景”,故排除A项;这里只是列举了反对观点,C项中的 “People’s opinions”太笼统;本段最后一句是说人们很难总是记住垃圾分类,这并不是堆肥对人们生活的不良影响,所以D项的表述是片面的。
D
本文主要介绍了关于梵高这部电影的拍摄过程。
13. C。细节理解题。根据第一段后半句内容可知,这部电影主要就是梵高传记。
14. D。推理判断题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第三段中she was inspired by the artist’s unique style and his own words可知,Dorota Kobieta导演之所以想拍这部电影是因为受到了梵高作品和言语的鼓舞,故答案选D项。
15. D。推理判断题。根据第五段的They ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have to hand-paint about 57,000 paintings以及第六段中After twelve frames we have one second of movie material.可推知,Time=57,000÷12÷60=79.1,所以这部电影最终可能会持续大约八十分钟,故答案选D项。
16-20 (略)
