I was about 30 years old and was working as a firefighter in the South Bronx’s Engine Co.82. It was a

restful Sunday and between alarms I rushed to the office to read a copy of the New York Times. I read an

article on the Book Review section which openly stated what I took to be a calumny (诽谤) -- that William

Butler Yeats had gone beyond his Irishness and was forever to be known as a universal poet. As I r ea

d it,

y blood began to boil.

I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote out a letter of anger to the editor. Yeats had lived his life and

written his poetry through the very essence of his Irish sensibility. It was offensive to think Irishness was

something to be transcended (超越). I don’t know why I felt it my duty to safeguard the reputation of the

world’s greatest poet. I just knew that I had to write that letter.

After my letter got published, I received a letter from The New Yorker asking for an interview. When

my article Fireman Smith appeared in that magazine, the editor of a large publishing firm called me, asking

if I was interested in writing a book about my life. I had little confidence to write a whole book, though the

subject was worthy. I wrote Report From Engine Co.82 in six months, and it sold really well. In the years

that followed, I wrote three more best-sellers.

Being a writer had been far from my expectations. How had it happened? I often found myself thinking

about it, and my thoughts always came back to that letter to the New York Times. For me, the writing was a

natural consequence of the passion I felt and the subjects represented the great values burning within me as I

wrote.

Your education and your experience will guide you toward making a right decision, but your

passion will enable you to make a difference in whatever you do. That’s what I learned the day I stood up

for Ireland’s greatest poet.

19. Why did the author write to the New York Times?

A. To present his love for literature. B. To spread Irish culture to the world.

C. To protect the reputation of an Irish poet. D. To express his expectation of being a writer.

20. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 imply?

A. I felt awkward when I read the article. B. I felt angry at the statement in the article.

C. I became excited when I read about Yeats. D. I was very proud of Yeats being a universal author.

21. According to the author,what is the key to his success in writing?

A. His skills in arguing. B. His educational background.

C. His passion for writing. D. His experience as a firefighter.

22. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. My Journey to Be a Writer. B. A Letter that Changed My Life.

C. How to Become a Great Author. D. My Defense of Ireland’s Greatest Poet.

A ten-year-old sperm whale(抹香鲸) was found dead on a beach in Scotland. A necropsy(尸检)

revealed that nearly 100 kilograms of plastic and other trash had formed clumps(硬块) in its digestive

system. The tragedy quickly made headlines. Why would a top predator in the ocean eat gloves, rope, and

plastic cups?

Conventional wisdom suggests that marine animals eat plastic because it is there and they don't know

any better. It is true that plastic may smell like food to some of them. But that doesn't explain why only

certain types of whales——deep-diving toothed whales, such as sperm whales and pilot whales——turn up

dead on beaches with stomachs full of plastic.

It's possible, says Savoca, that plastic trash sounds like food to toothed whales. These species hunt deep

in the ocean sometimes nearly 500 meters below the surface, where it's pitch black(漆黑). They use

echolocation (回声定位) to hunt for food, typically squid(乌贼).

By contrast, baleen whales(须鲸), including humpbacks and blue whales, have natural

filters(过滤器）

for their food. Baleen, the brush-like filter-feeding system they have in place of teeth, as well as their narrow

throats, keeping them from swallowing anything much larger than the krill(磷虾群) that forms the basis of

their diet. That could help explain why baleen whales are not ending up with plastic filled stomachs.

Fifty years ago, there was almost no plastic in the ocean. The lifespan of a large whale can be twice that

long. In the lifetime of a single whale, we went from an ocean with no plastic to hundreds of thousands of

tons of it. Plastic comes on top of other factors affecting life in the ocean-climate change, overfishing,

shipping traffic, and noise pollution. " it's a real shame because their lives are challenging enough even

without the additional pressure we put onto them," says Savoca.

23. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. That plastic smells like food to toothed whales.

B. That marine animals started to eat plastic decades ago.

C. That a number of toothed whales are found dead on beaches every year.

D. That conventional wisdom about why marine animals eat plastic doesn't apply to all whales.

24. Which of the following statements DOESN'T explain why toothed whales are more easily harmed by

plastic pollution than baleen whales?

A. They don't feed on krill. B. They live in the dark depths of the ocean.

C. They are not born with brush-like filter-feeding systems.

D. They don't determine the location of their food with their eyes.

25. What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph?

A. Whales have a longer lifespan than humans.

B. Plastic has a negative effect on climate change.

C. Great changes have taken place in the ocean in the past 50 years.

D. Plastic pollution has worsened already serious issues affecting marine life.

26. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Different diets, different fates B. Silent killers in the ocean

C. Plastic trash in-the ocean D. Saving whales

Social media brings endless con

c e

r n

s for parents, with worries that it weakens their children’s

confidence and attention spans. But others counter that it could also be broadening their horizons.

The latest round of worry was sparked by a study of the impact of social media use on 8-12-year-olds

published by Anne Longfield, Children’s Commissioner for England. The report focused on 132 children,

who described pressures from constant contact, online comments that weaken their self-esteem, and the

need to shape offline activities to make them shareable.

“You see your friends going ice skating, partying or talking about how much revision they have

done, and it can make you feel inadequate,” says Bea, a junior school student from Bristol, UK. “It’s just

so hard to get away from it.”

Children have to take risks on their journeys to adulthood, and desires to fit in and be popular existed

before Mark Zuckerberg came along with Facebook. However, in previous generations these pressures came

largely from people they knew, and they mostly stayed outside the home. Now the pressures could

come

from

any one of the nearly 3 billion people online, and follow them from school to home, and can even

continue through the night.
