Twice every month, Miranda Sam, a 66-year-old Ghanaian, visited the China Traditional Herbal Hospital, a private herbal facility at Pokuase, a suburb of the Ghanaian capital, for treatment.

“I was squeezing lemons, and when I finished, I could not get up or even move my legs, so I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination, but they saw nothing. Meanwhile, I could not walk and was in a wheelchair,” the retired worker said. Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility. “On two occasions, I had to do acupuncture(针灸), and I have found great relief. Now I walk unaided, so I keep coming for treatment,” she said.

As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity in Ghana, many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country. However, the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako, after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012. With the help of a Chinese lady, Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM. Years on, the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital. The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas. It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.

Strokes(中风) account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana, and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths. But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing, the pain and death rates would subside. “A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago, who could not sit, stand, or walk. He was first taken through acupuncture. I observed him on camera 30 minutes later, squatting(蹲), standing, and walking. You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile. That is our feature,” he said.

The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital, with plans to open other branches across the country to meet the growing demand. 1. What can we learn from Miranda’s words in Paragraph 2?

A. Her illness is not a bit severe. B. Squeezing lemons is a risky job. C. She is feeling better now. D. She is unsure about what to do next. 2. What do we know about Bediako’s hospital? A. It is located in the downtown area. B. It was originally a specialized clinic. C. It was established by a Chinese doctor. D. It uses nothing but Chinese herbs.

3. What does the underlined word “subside” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Decline. B. Remain. C. Climb. D. Change. 4. What’s the writer’s probable attitude towards the TCM in Ghana? A. Negative. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Concerned. 答案：1-4 CBAB

Twenty-nine-year-old Maxim Kiselev lives in Moscow, Russia, with his beautiful wife, Natalia, and lives with a disease which mainly affects the left side of his body. Maxim is a wheelchair dancer, and does both ballroom style dancing and figure skating on ice.

He initially took up dancing when he was 14 years old as a way to strengthen his body-in particular his left arm and fingers which had limited functionality at the time. Gradually, he began to think about becoming the standing partner of a person using a wheelchair； however, his challenges with balance meant it wasn't going to be possible. His mother and coach suggested he get into a wheelchair himself. He unwillingly got into a wheelchair but was quickly pleased by his progress.

The possibilities without a partner were limited, so Maxim went on in search of a dance partner. With only some practice with his first partner, the pair took part in their first tournament, where they performed well. While his start in partner dancing was good, finding a right partner wasn't easy. His mother would get in touch with the girls' parents or coaches and the vast majority had very rude reactions as soon as they found out he was disabled.

His coaches drove him to grow and develop as a dancer, and came up with some great techniques to help him. His dancing was improved even further when his third coach forced him to think in the way a standing

dancer did. Maxim says this is what helped his performance to look like dancing rather than just rolling back and forth on the dance floor.

Maxim says his greatest pride is having taken his dancing skills on ice. He is the first high level figure skater in a wheelchair, and still the only one to this day. Maxim is taking a break from dance because of health issues, but he recently participated in a Russian Virtual Reality Project which aims to motivate people with disabilities to get more active in real life.

1. How does Maxim's disease affect him?

A. He gives up his dream to become a dancer. B. He can only control half of his body freely.

C. He has no way to make a living all the time.

D. He has an extremely unhappy marriage life. 2. Why did Maxim start dancing?

A. To be a standing dance partner. B. To meet his mother's expectation. C. To improve his physical condition. D. To get himself out of a wheelchair.

3. What difficulty did Maxim have while looking for a dance partner? A. Few people praised his talent. B. Nobody helped with the search.

C. He was rejected because of his skills. D. He faced discrimination due to disability.

4. What does the underlined word \"this\" in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Mastering dancing techniques. B. Thinking like a standing dancer. C. Helping people with disabilities. D. Making some progress in dancing. 答案：1-4 BCDB

It was a dark night . Thick , dark , gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moonlight to greet me as I walked out on my porch . Still , I kept the porch light off because I didn ' t want to be surrounded by bugs and moths on this sticky summer evening . I stood there for a while letting my eyes adjust to the lack of light . My dog stood beside me waiting patiently for me to start her walk . It was then , though , that I saw them . First one blink of light at the far end of the meadow was followed by another and then another . I smiled . I recognized them at once as my firefly friends , who always showed up this time of the year .

I got so much joy watching them first as a child and then as an adult . They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight . When I was little I used to sit in the grass and watch them slowly fly around blinking on and off . I never caught and put one in a jar as some kids did because I was afraid I might kill it and I never wanted to hurt these messengers of light . Their time on this earth was so brief as it was . I tried to enjoy them each night they were here . It always saddened me when they disappeared in the fall and it always made my heart sing when they reappeared the next summer .

I think I enjoy these little fireflies so much because I can see that we are like them in a lot of ways . Our time here on earth is brief . Often our light and love are more like on and off blinks rather than a steady shine . Let ' s share our light and love while we are here then .

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, \"Alisa Camacho?\" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. \"Is this what you're looking for?\" he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to

help each other.

1. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick.

B. Fortunate and helpful. C. Satisfied and cheerful.

D. Disappointed and helpless.

2. On the way home, what happened to the writer? A. She lost her wallet unknowingly.

B. She was stopped by a garbage truck driver. C. She was robbed of her wallet by an armed man. D. She found some homeless people following her.

3. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming ? A. Someone offered to take her back home. B. A red-haired man came to see her. C. She heard someone call her name.

D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.

4. From the text, what can we infer about the writer ? A. She would stop working at night. B. She would stay on in San Francisco. C. She would make friends with cleaners. D. She would give up her job at the bank. 答案：1-4 DACB

【语篇解读】本篇是一则感人的叙事类记叙文。讲述的是“我”深夜独自下班，孤单又害怕地走在旧金山的街头，无意中丢失了钱包，又在好心人的帮助下失而复得的经历，使“我”由厌烦城市生活到想法发生改变。 【解析】

1. D 题干问作者下班后，感觉怎么样？其实是在提问心情，给出的选项都是形容词。此时，定位到文章第一段第一句“That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. ”和第一段最后一句“As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.”我们可以看出，作者很低落，充满了消极情绪，所以选择D选项，“失望的”和“无助的”。

2. A 阅读题干可知，本题问的是作者在回家路上发生了什么，所以定位到二、三、四段，逐一排除BCD选项，都属于无中生有，混淆概念。因此，本题应选A。

3. C 定位到第五段，从“ When a voice called from the inside, \"Alisa Camacho?\" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name?”这个句子的描写可知，是因为有人喊她的名字，所以她觉得自己在做梦。故选C。

4. B 本题属于推理判断题，通过文章最后一段描写的结果，“I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.”可知，作者对城市生活有了新的积极向上的认识。因此，我们可以推断出，作者会继续待在旧金山。故选B。

Ruth Bader Ginburg or RBG as she is known today, became a heroine for girls when she became the second woman US Supreme Court Justice in June 1993. But her commitment to gender equality and justice goes back a lot longer. This legend passed away on September 18, 2020 at age 87.

“Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she attended Cornell University at 17, graduated and married. She had her first child and then attended Law School at Harvard and Columbia as a young mother. After Law School, when it was still rare for women to work for law firm, she went into teaching, becoming a professor of civil procedure at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, something that was very rare for women at the time. Ginsburg spent most of her legal career as a strong advocate for gender equality and women’s rights.

This was at a time when state and federal laws barred women form jobs, rights and even serving on a jury. But due to Ginsburg’s breaking the glass ceiling in law, she received her first judicial appointment in 1980, something that was considered not possible at the time , and absolutely unthinkable.

Described as “tough as nails” she became a rock star for girls and women while in her 80s. A documentary was made of her life, a book was written about her, as well as an operetta.” It makes absolutes sense that Justice Ginsburg has become an idol for younger generations, “ Justice Elena Kagan said at an event in 2014. “She changed the face of American anti-discrimination law. She can take credit for making the law of this country work for women and in doing so she made possible my own career.” Ginsburg suffered five bouts of cancer, but she never stopped working on the Supreme Court. Although tiny in stature, and soft-spoken, her legal decisions helped her roar. Her spirit and work will live on in all the young girls that can now know that they too can grow up and become anything they want to be. 1. Why was Ginsbrug admired by girls?

A. She contributed a lot to gender equality and justice. B. She never gave up battling against cancer.

C. She became the first woman justice in the US. D. She succeeded in serving on a jury. 2. What happened to Ginsburg in 1980?

A. She married and had her first baby. B. She graduated from Conell University.

C. She was employed by Rutgers Law School. D. She was assigned to a job in the judicial system.

3. What can we infer from Kagan’s words in paragraph 5? A. Ginsburg was too tough to get along with. B. She felt the very deep gratitude to Ginsburg. C. Ginsburg became famous due to a documentary.

D. She called on younger generations to follow Ginsburg. 4. Which of the following can best describe Ginsburg?

A. Cautious and friendly. B. Reliable and humorous.

C. Determined and devoted. D. Considerate and optimistic.
