ATwelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. But it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the assistance of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Caféprograms. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.21. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. The author rejected many chances to get a job in Florida.B. Florida was not a good place for people living there.C. It was impossible for the author to get a job thenD. Many local people were out of work in Florida.22. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author_____.A.had been struggling financially.B.had won his degree in a university.C.had lived with his relatives happily.D.had lost hope of facing the future.23. From his experience, the author learns that ______.A.a friend in need is a friend indeed.B.one good turn deserves another.C.misfortune may be an actual blessing.D.where there is a will there is a way.BSmartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It's hard with kids. You can't control what they see and that’s one of the things that worries me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones. McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success. McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they're not allowed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨),” but now they’re seeing the positives (优势). “They come to school and they're not allowed to use phones a t all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wonderful as for students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” Ms Binnion said. She also leads by example and doesn't use her mobile phone i n school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in. “A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2020 state-of-play.”24. Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A.Teachers find it hard to control kids.B. Kids behave badly nowadays.C. School is for studying.D. Her kids depend too much on phones.25. What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A. Students can now see the good of the ban.B. Some teachers were against it at first.C. Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.26. What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A. It will disconnect parents and kids.B. It will cause kids to communicate less.C.It will make education go back 60 years.D. It will prevent kids being tech-minded.CThe United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee — an annual spelling contest — now allows kids who lost in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a “spelling career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions (爱好) that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.I’m disturbed by the phenomenon, which seems to be getting worse and more intense (激烈的).My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce min e. Your bad gives me no pleasure.Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, thesuccess of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.Competition divides us. There’re winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing ( 战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone’s a winner”.27. What does the author worry about?A. Youth competition lacks diversity.B. Youth competition is expensive.C. Youth competition lacks fairness.D. Youth competition is fierce.28. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author?A. Know our competitors well.B. Get rid of the bad things inside us.C. Learn from others’ successes and failures.D. Leave everything to chance.29. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives?A. No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.B. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.C. People follow parallel paths to each other.D. People take turns to lead the race.30. Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the YouthB. Through Competition, We Become Better OurselvesC. Your Real Competition Is With YourselfD. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life第二节(共5小题: 每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
