Quizlet
When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It's a simple concept, but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客）, and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits.

Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairytales, to science, to current news articles. There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital language exchange" by sharing voice notes, or using video chat. It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms — but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits. The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle (球拍) in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten, was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend. "I was once watching a match between two of my friends," Hamadtou explains. "They disagreed on a point, When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, 'Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.' It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis."
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport. He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body. "I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren't working so well. Finally, I tried using my mouth. It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve. With practice and playing regularly, this skill was improved."
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43, and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says, "The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do."
4. What made Hamadtou take up table tennis
A. His passion for table-tennis. B. His ambition to prove himself.
C. His willingness to inspire others. D. His suffering in a train accident.
5. What was the most difficult for Hamadtou to play table tennis
A. Serving the ball with his mouth. B. Holding the paddle under his arm.
C. Practicing strengthening his muscles. D. Playing the game with the right body parts.
6. What can we learn about Hamadtou from the text
A. He was recognized as a gifted player at 41.
B. He was awarded the best athlete in Africa.
C. He won a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Games.
D. He realized his dream of winning a gold medal.
7. What message does the story convey
A. Well begun is half done. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Success gives people delight. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。失去双臂的残奥会运动员Hamadtou由于幼时受到刺激，决定打乒乓球。历经艰难，他在各场比赛中证明了自己的天赋和努力，验证了“有志者事竟成”这一真理。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“‘They disagreed on a point, When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, 'Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.' It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis.’ (“他们在一个问题上意见不一致，当我把一分算在他们中一个人的份上时，另一个球员告诉我，‘管好你自己的事，因为你永远都不能打球。正是这句话激励我决定打乒乓球。”)”可推知，正是他人言语的刺激，让Hamadtou决定打乒乓球，他想要证明自己。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body. (他说，最大的挑战是找出控制自己身体的最佳方法)”中的the biggest challenge以及后文中他尝试各身体部位打球可知，他最大的困难是使用正确的身体部位打球。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43, (2014年，这个埃及人获得了阿拉伯年度最佳运动员的称号，他惊人的天赋得以展现。2016年，43岁的他在非洲锦标赛上获得银牌，首次获得残奥会参赛资格) ”可知，2016年他43岁，那2014年他41岁的时候获得年度最佳运动员的称号。A项正确。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文以及根据最后一段“The inspiring athlete says, ‘The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do.’(这位鼓舞人心的运动员说：‘残疾不在于胳膊或腿的残疾，而在于你放弃想做的东西。’) ”可知，身残志坚的Hamadtou虽然没有双臂，用嘴叼球拍打球，通过自己奋斗而赢得了所有人的尊敬。D项“有志者事竟成”符合题意。故选D项。
C
Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he some- times wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can't abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack’s or you might be a Jack. You're now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it’s time that you had to decide whether you'll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it's too late to start over That is simply because you're comparing yourself with others—younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don't let your life plateau（停滞不前）and waste away in the daily chores. Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you’d better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
8. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author
A. Those leading a happy life.
B. Those having an easeful career.
C. Those thinking it's too late to change.
D. Those having a high ambition to work.
9. What does the underlined word “abide” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Value. B. Recommend. C. Understand. D. Tolerate.
10. What does the author advise us not to do
A. Let life stand still.
B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life.
D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack
B. Don't Try to Control Yourself
C. Never Think Change Is Too Late
D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟。然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.”（然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了。），和第二段最后一句“But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.”（但他已经习惯了这种生活方式，觉得要放弃这种生活去实现新的抱负已经太晚了。）可知，作者在第一段提到有的人想改变，但觉得为时已晚，作者在第二段以Jack为例来说明他就属于这一类人。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“ he has to choose to suck it up”（他都不得不选择忍受现状）可知，Jack认为对他来说，改变的风险太大，所以无论他是否可以忍受，他都不得不选择忍受现状，下文的suck it up意为“逆来顺受，忍受“。所以abide的意思是“忍受”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Don't let your life plateau（停滞不前）and waste away in the daily chores.”（不要让你的生活停滞不前，浪费在日常琐事上。）可知，作者建议我们不要让生活停滞不前，即不要让生活静止。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.”（然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了。）直接点明文章中心，每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟，然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。所以，本文的标题题是“永远都不要认为改变为时已晚。”故选C项。
D
In British Bristol, 70 English women at once entered into legal "marriage" with dozens of trees in protest against their being cut down. They "married" the trees in a desperate attempt to prevent them from being cleared for construction of residential buildings worth 55 million in the forest. The British construction company has applied for the construction of 166 houses in Bristol, including luxury cottages. At the same time, the townspeople were especially angry at the fact that the application did not indicate the exact number of trees that are planned to be cut down. So, in order to attract the attention of the government, the activists organized an unusual wedding ceremony to save the forest.
The event took place at a park on Spike Island. The women who went there, dressed in wedding dresses, held photographs of the "suitors" in their hands. The celebration itself took place according to the classic storyline—with groomsmen and wedding vows. The organizer was John Tarleton, a professor at the Bristol Veterinary School, According to him, this action was supposed to demonstrate that tees are partners of people throughout their life.
The idea to hold such a ceremony came from Siobhan Kierans, who admitted that she came up with it by the story of women from the environmental movement Chipko, who chained themselves to trees in the 1970s to save them from destruction by logging companies.
The protesters said that Bristol needs mature trees more than luxury private housing. One of the "brides", Suzan Hackett, said, "To get married to a tree is a real honor. It's not a show. It's highly significant and symbolic."
12. Why did the women marry trees
A. To protect the trees from going extinct.
B. To appeal to people to plant more trees.
C. To blame the company for damaging trees.
D. To draw the authorities' attention to save the forest.
13. What does the underlined word "suitors" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The men to marry. B. The companies to build houses.
C. The trees to be saved. D. The buildings to be pulled down.
14. What inspired Siobhan Kierans to create such an event
A. Cruel behavior of logging companies. B. A previous environmental campaign.
C Movements of women fighting for rights. D. Women chained to trees for their faults.
15. What does Suzan Hackett think of the event
A. Meaningful. B. Interesting. C. Pioneering. D. Emotional.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One of the "brides", Suzan Hackett, said, "To get married to a tree is a real honor. It's not a show. It's highly significant and symbolic."（其中一位“新娘”Suzan Hackett说：“和一棵树结婚是一种真正的荣耀。这不是演出。这是非常重要和具有象征意义的。”）”中的significant and symbolic可知，Suzan认为这项活动很有意义。故选B。

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。选项中有两项为多余选项
Are you sitting more than ever ___16___ You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. That’s undoubtedly a lot of sitting. The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ___17___
We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching. ___18___ A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause. As the total sitting time increases, so does the risk of early death.
“Sit less, move more” is what the Heart Association encourages us to do. ___19___ It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example, the Center for Disease Control recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week, plus muscle strengthening activities two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting.
___20___ “It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,” Diaz, the lead researcher said, adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approach.
A. Now it’s time to get up and move around.
B. Take a moment to think about your sitting activities.
C. Health experts also suggest exercising on a daily basis.
D. But this guideline is just too simple and abstract to make a difference.
E. As of today, average adult will spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting.

39. supportive##supporters
40. who 41. to go

44. fifth 45. included
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了99岁高龄的Priscilla Sitienei仍然在教室里和其他学生一起学习的故事。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在肯尼亚大裂谷乡村的一间教室里，一名和她的同学一起做笔记学生令人印象深刻。“_______ (take) notes alongside her classmates”作后置定语，修饰名词a student。动词take notes和其逻辑主语a student之间是主动关系，应该用现在分词。故填taking。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：她穿着同样的校服——灰色的裙子和绿色的毛衣。然而有一点不同。Priscilla Sitienei比他们年长80多岁。根据句意，上一句讲“the same”，下句讲“one difference”，上下文有转折关系，且该空以逗号和句子主干隔开，应用表转折的连接副词however；句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：她说，她回到课堂是为了给她的曾孙们树立一个好榜样。grandchild是可数名词。上下文中并没有提到她有几个曾孙，可能一个，也可能不止一个。因此该处既可以用复数名词，也可用单数名词。故填grandchildren/grandchild。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她补充说，她的家人都支持她的决定。该空在从句中作表语。表示“支持的”，因此可以用形容词supportive。也可以指“支持者”,因此也可用名词supporter作表语，家人不止一个，应用复数形式supporters。故填supportive/supporters。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这使得一些年轻时错过教育机会的社会老年成员能够重返学校。“_____ had missed out on education in their younger days”是定语从句，修饰先行词some older members，指人，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应该用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这使得一些年轻时错过教育机会的社会老年成员能够重返学校。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事，使得某人可能做某事”，用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to go。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：这给Sitienei带来的不仅仅是教育。more than是固定短语，意为“比……更多，超过……，不仅仅”。故填than。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：它被称为Gogo，在卡伦津语中是祖母的意思。该空在句中作谓语。title作动词，意为“把……称为；给……加标题”。it指的是上一句中的a film。a film和title之间是被动关系。该句是对这部电影名称的介绍，应该用一般现在时态。且主语为it，根据主谓一致原则，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填is titled。
【44题详解】
考查数词。句意：Sitienei在读小学五年级。表示“小学的第五年”，应用序数词fifth。故填fifth。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她喜欢学校的其他活动，包括体育课。“physical education classes _______ (include)”是独立主格结构。非谓语动词include(包括)与其逻辑主语physical education classes之间是被动关系，应该用过去分词表被动。故填included。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Price of a Miracle
Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully:47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it ! “And what do you want ” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need ” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“How much do you have ” asked the man from Chicago.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The operation was completed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“How much do you have ” asked the man from Chicago. “47 cents!” Tess replied without any hesitation. To her surprise, the man said that he was a doctor and that it was a fair price for a miracle. Overcome with excitement, Tess grasped his hand, leading him to her home. With doubt and hope, Dad and Mom had Andrew checked by the man, who declared that he would perform an operation on the boy and promised it wouldn’t be long before he could pick himself up. Hearing his words, the whole family burst into tears of joy.
The operation was completed. Hardly had Andrew been sent back home when his parents went to thank the doctor with Tess, for they knew that 47 cents was a joke for an operation. They promised to save enough money to pay for the bill only to be told that Tess had paid for it. “It’s a fair deal,” the doctor explained to the parents，and then looked into Tess’s eyes, smiling, “47 cents was what it cost—plus the faith of a little girl.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了八岁的小女孩Tess听到爸爸妈妈谈论她的弟弟，得知弟弟得了重病，需要动手术，但是家里没有钱。听到爸妈说“只有奇迹才能救他”时，她拿了自己的零花钱去药店买“奇迹”，幸运地遇到了能做手术的医生，医生真地给了她们家一个“奇迹”，为她弟弟做了手术的故事。

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms — but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits. The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle (球拍) in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten, was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend. "I was once watching a match between two of my friends," Hamadtou explains. "They disagreed on a point, When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, 'Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.' It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis."
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport. He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body. "I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren't working so well. Finally, I tried using my mouth. It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve. With practice and playing regularly, this skill was improved."
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43, and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says, "The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do."
4. What made Hamadtou take up table tennis
A. His passion for table-tennis. B. His ambition to prove himself.
C. His willingness to inspire others. D. His suffering in a train accident.
5. What was the most difficult for Hamadtou to play table tennis
A. Serving the ball with his mouth. B. Holding the paddle under his arm.
C. Practicing strengthening his muscles. D. Playing the game with the right body parts.
6. What can we learn about Hamadtou from the text
A. He was recognized as a gifted player at 41.
B. He was awarded the best athlete in Africa.
C. He won a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Games.
D. He realized his dream of winning a gold medal.
7. What message does the story convey
A. Well begun is half done. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Success gives people delight. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he some- times wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can't abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack’s or you might be a Jack. You're now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it’s time that you had to decide whether you'll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it's too late to start over That is simply because you're comparing yourself with others—younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don't let your life plateau（停滞不前）and waste away in the daily chores. Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you’d better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
8. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author
A. Those leading a happy life.
B. Those having an easeful career.
C. Those thinking it's too late to change.
D. Those having a high ambition to work.
9. What does the underlined word “abide” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Value. B. Recommend. C. Understand. D. Tolerate.
10. What does the author advise us not to do
A. Let life stand still.
B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life.
D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack
B. Don't Try to Control Yourself
C Never Think Change Is Too Late
D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
D
In British Bristol, 70 English women at once entered into legal "marriage" with dozens of trees in protest against their being cut down. They "married" the trees in a desperate attempt to prevent them from being cleared for construction of residential buildings worth 55 million in the forest. The British construction company has applied for the construction of 166 houses in Bristol, including luxury cottages. At the same time, the townspeople were especially angry at the fact that the application did not indicate the exact number of trees that are planned to be cut down. So, in order to attract the attention of the government, the activists organized an unusual wedding ceremony to save the forest.
The event took place at a park on Spike Island. The women who went there, dressed in wedding dresses, held photographs of the "suitors" in their hands. The celebration itself took place according to the classic storyline—with groomsmen and wedding vows. The organizer was John Tarleton, a professor at the Bristol Veterinary School, According to him, this action was supposed to demonstrate that tees are partners of people throughout their life.
The idea to hold such a ceremony came from Siobhan Kierans, who admitted that she came up with it by the story of women from the environmental movement Chipko, who chained themselves to trees in the 1970s to save them from destruction by logging companies.
The protesters said that Bristol needs mature trees more than luxury private housing. One of the "brides" Suzan Hackett, said, "To get married to a tree is a real honor. It's not a show. It's highly significant and symbolic."
12. Why did the women marry trees
A. To protect the trees from going extinct.
B. To appeal to people to plant more trees.
C. To blame the company for damaging trees.
D To draw the authorities' attention to save the forest.
13. What does the underlined word "suitors" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The men to marry. B. The companies to build houses.
C. The trees to be saved. D. The buildings to be pulled down.
14. What inspired Siobhan Kierans to create such an event
A. Cruel behavior of logging companies. B. A previous environmental campaign.
C. Movements of women fighting for rights. D. Women chained to trees for their faults.
15. What does Suzan Hackett think of the event
A. Meaningful. B. Interesting. C. Pioneering. D. Emotional.

But more researches are needed to confirm their approach.
A. Now it’s time to get up and move around.

Price of a Miracle
Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully:47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it ! “And what do you want ” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need ” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
