One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the \"Children's Room.\" I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
1. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A. let him spend a meaningful summer B. encourage him to do more walking C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 2. The book caught the author's eye because .
A. it reminded him of his own dog B. he found its title easy to understand C. it contained pretty pictures of animals D. he liked children's stories very much 3. Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A. Mum's Strict Order. B. My Passion forReading. C. Reunion with My Beagle. D. The Charm of a Book.

As a rider, Anna Kiesenhofe’s Olympics victory might be a surprise. The winner of the road race at the Tokyo Olympics left the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract (合同). She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.
The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon (铁人三项). She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.
The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season. However, she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018, eventually taking a year off the bike. In 2019, Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider, winning the Austrian national road race. Despite her results, Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.
Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race, eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer, Omer Shapira, Vera Looser and Anna Plichta, which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes. After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped, Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.
After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton (主车群), the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold, not knowing that Remehofere was still in front. While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes, other riders’ mistakes should not detract from the Austrian’s efforts.
Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University. She currently works at the University of Lausanne. 4. Why did Anna give up triathlon?
A. She got injured. B. She lost interest in it.
C. She had to attend university. D. She never won a medal. 5. Which is the right order of the following events? ①She ended her campaign. ②She took a year off the bike. ③She began her cycling career.
④She won the Austrian national road race. ⑤She won the Spanish National Cup.
A. ③④①②⑤. B. ②③④①⑤. C. ③⑤①②④. D. ④②③①⑤.
6. What were the riders of the peloton unaware of at the Tokyo Olympics? A. The road race was so difficult. B. Anna was a new rider. C. They had caught up with Anna. D. Anna took the lead of them. 7. What is Anna’s present job?
A. A cycling coach. B. A university teacher. C A professional rider. D. A college student.

Tofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.
But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was \"polluting a national park\". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.
Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues(途径,手段)with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.
\"While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself,\" said Timothy Treuer.
Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange waste had richer soil.
The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange \"mined\" a national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide attention, this type of \"ruining\" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life. 8. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?
A. Add them to fuel. B. Feed them to animals. C. Burn or bury them. D. Make them into cakes.
9. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park? A. It lasted 15 years. B. It was signed by Treuer.
C. It was made in about 1998. D. It was broken by Del Oro. 10. What was Treuer's finding?
A. Orange peels contain much fibre. B. Orange peels can make soil richer.
C. Orange peels rot away in a short time. D. Orange waste ruined the national park. 11. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Admirable.
