A

Hello．I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class．My class wants to work together to help the public．We think we have found a great way to do this．Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town．We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program．This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads．We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway．

Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet．When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people．The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean．Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it．The sign is put up at the side of the road．This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean．

The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer．Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers．This saves money．Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up．

We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway．If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week．We will meet in Mrs. Lake’s room on Wednesday at 6:00 P．M．At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts．Then we’ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean．

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting．Remember to keep our roads clean!

21．What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?

A．Giving names to the highways． B．Drawing pictures of highways．

C．Picking up litter along the roads． D．Putting up signs near the roads．

22．What should the students do first if they want to join the program?

A．Pick a spot to care for． B．Call Mrs. Lake next week．

C．Write a letter to their parents． D．Go to a meeting on Wednesday．

23．What is the purpose of this speech?

A．To encourage students to join the program．

B．To introduce the traffic system．

C．To show drivers how to drive safely．

D．To tell a story about adopting a pet．

24．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Adopt-a-Pet B．Adopt-a-Highway

C．Ways to Protect the Environment D．Volunteers on Roads

B

Millions of sports lovers are still thinking about one thing----the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia．Close to 2900 men and women competed in the 2014 Winter Games about a month ago．

The Olympics brought a lot of attention to Sochi, a city on the Black Sea, which is a popular area for vacation travelers．The area is known for its mild winters．

At least $50 billion was spent on the 2014 Winter Games, making it the costliest Olympics in history．Seven billion dollars was spent on the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada．Olympic officials chose Sochi to host the 2014 games almost seven years ago．At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the games would cost about $13 billion．Yet the actual expenses exceeded his estimate．So where did all the money go?

Some observers say the high cost is partly the result of security measures．Brian Jenkins, a terrorism expert from the RAND Corporation, gave the following explanation．There were anywhere between 70,000 and 100, 000 policemen and military troops deployed around the city．

The main threat came from separatist and Islamist groups from the North Caucasus, especially from Chechnya and Dagestan．One group claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Volgograd last December．The attacks killed more than 30 people．The city is only about 600 kilometers away from Sochi．

Bruce Hoffman is a terrorism expert from Georgetown University in Washington DC．He says the increased security made Sochi a difficult target for terrorists．

It is thought that the terrorists' intention was to make life difficult for the Russians and to create some sort of incident that would take away the enjoyment．

The last Olympians from around the world on Russian soil were in 1980．That was a year after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan．More than sixty countries didn’t take part in the Moscow Summer Games to show their anger．

25．According to the passage, why did the Sochi Winter Olympics cost so much?

A．Because it was held at an area popular for vacation travelers．

B．Because the Russian government wanted to make it the best ever held．

C．Because security measures at Sochi were stricter than before．

D．Because the original plan was made 7 years before．

26．It can be known from the passage that Bruce Hoffman was ．

A．a terrorism expert from the USA

B．the writer who wrote this article

C．an athlete who competed in Sochi

D．a terrorism expert from RAND Corporation

27．Which of the following is false?

A．Sochi Olympics cost about 4 times as estimated．

B．Next winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver．

C．Many countries refused to attend the 1980 Olympics．

D．Security is often a problem in international sport games．

28．The terrorists might have attacked Sochi Olympics because ．

A．they wanted to make trouble for the Russians

B．they thought Russia shouldn't spend so much on sport

C．they thought Putin was not a nice president

D．they were not interested in winter sports

C

As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart．We always had totally different opinions．He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college．He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life．There was a time when we did not talk with each other．

A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father's requirement．

Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart．

It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I' m 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing, it is like enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．

29．The author and his father became further apart because ．

A．they lived very far from each other B．they seldom went see each other

C．they only communicated by phone D．they had different views on things

30．Why did the author come back to Tennessee?

A．Because his father invited him to work there．

B．Because he decided to live in a different city．

C．Because his father was ill and needed caring．

D．Because he regretted being rude to his father．

31．For the author, fishing with his old father ．

A．helps cure his father’s disease

B．makes him realize the importance of relaxation
