21．（6分） Michelin inspectors，the super secret spies of the restaurant industry，are the anonymous（匿名的）keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They've been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years.
"We say it's a little like the CIA，"said inspector "M" with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed. "My whole life is staying under the radar，staying away from cameras，using fake names，trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly."

Along with their boss，Jean-Luc Naret，the director of the Michelin Guide，about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent（等价物）of an Oscar，the Nobel Prize and Mega Millions jackpot（头奖）all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries，and out of the45，000 rated restaurants，less than 100 have the top rating — only nine American restaurants carry three stars.
If the name "Michelin" brings the tires on your car to mind，you're not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would buy more tires if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.
Inspector "M" admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. " Most of the time we dine alone，"she said. "It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the atmosphere and capture the entire experience "To cover their tracks，"M" said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It's better than saying "table for one"，right？
"When you're really，really into food and very crazy about food，everything else that's going on around you isn't so important，" she said.
1、The underlined words "under the radar" in Paragraph 2 mean "___________"
A．living in danger
B．being the focus of the media
C．trying to be unnoticed
D．making programs on the radio
2、The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to _____________.
A．open more hotels and restaurants
B．bring more convenience to drivers
C．make people familiar with "Michelin"
D．make a profit by selling more tires
3、Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can ___________.
A．cut the expense on the food
B．protect their identities
C．save trouble by sharing a paper
D．talk about the food over the meal
4、What would be the best title for the text？
A．"M" works for the CIA
B．The legend of Michelin brothers
C．Michelin inspectors: food industry spies
D．Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry

23．（8分）I have been teaching the tenth-grade English for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.
One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his age.
As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.
On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.
He stated in the essay that "some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you." Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.
Making a significant contribution to someone's life is something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.
1、What's the author's purpose to take John for example?
A．To show that her students were all excellent readers.
B．To develop her own idea about English literature.
C．To prove what she had just said was true.
D．To persuade her readers to change their minds.
2、Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins?
A．He thought she was significant in his life.
B．He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.
C．He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.
D．He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet.
3、What kind of person was the author according to the text?
A．Gentle. B．Passionate.
C．Humorous. D．Indifferent.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A．The difference a good teacher can make
B．The friendship Ms. Hopkins and John developed
C．An experience only Ms. Hopkins and her students could have
D．The significant contribution everyone can make
24．（8分） It’s apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.
“Let’s face it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.
The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.
Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.
Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.
1、Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?
A．To make students concentrate on their studies.
B．To encourage students to make more friends.
C．To prevent students from falling in love at a young age
D．To discourage students from having a close relationship.
2、Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?
A．Their best friends have moved house.
B．They are banned from making best friends.
C．They are under great pressure from study.
D．Their best friends have started new friendships.
3、What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Mistake. B．Difficulty.
C．Drawback. D．Burden.
4、What would be Jay Jacobs’ attitude to Greenberg’s idea?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Opposed. D．Unconcerned.
