Olympic National Park, with its temperate rainforests and breath-taking views, exerts a natural pull on many Pacific Northwesterners. But Seattle writer Rosette Royale found it repellent. To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant place. \couldn't figure out why anyone would want to carry a 50-pound pack into the wilderness and camp there for days,\
Then he met Bryant Carlin, a vendor (小贩)for Real Change, the Seattle weekly sold on the street by vendors who are homeless or low-wage earners. He was also a skilled outdoorsman and a nature photographer who would take weeks-long photographic journeys to the park. The two men connected in the fall of 2011 when Royale interviewed Carlin for a feature story in Real Change about Carlin's photography.
That first time they met—and for years afterward—Carlin invited Royale to go camping with him. Each time, Royale said \2015, Royale surprised himself by saying yes. \did I know,\said Royale, \saying 'yes' would change the course of my life.\
Royale and Carlin went on five separate journeys to the Olympic wilderness. They camped in spring, summer, fall and winter. For Royale, the trips were exhausting and terrifying. But the trips were also inspiring, and helped Royale—a black, strange man—to develop a relationship with the outdoors that he had never experienced before.
For Carlin, the trips were an opportunity to throw off the label of \Olympic National Park, sleeping outside just means you're a camper. But there was one aspect of Carlin's life in the city that he couldn't escape: alcohol abuse. While he never brought beer on their camping journeys, the effects of years of drinking weren't so easy to leave behind.
21. What does the underlined word \
A. Appealing. B. Puzzling. C. Rewarding. D. Disgusting.
22. According to Royale, what made his life course changed?
A. His first meeting with Carlin. invitation.
C. His camping trips with Carlin. story.
23. What did the trips with Royale mean to Carlin?
A. They improved his photography skills. B. They helped him feel a sense of belonging. C. They deepened his relationship with nature. D. They enabled him to get rid of alcohol addiction.

Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he found himself having to listen to a loud conversation of a fellow passenger woman. Boiling with anger, Winston took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers on the Tweet. By the time the train reached the station in Manchester, some journalists were waiting for the woman. And when they showed her the doctor's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.
Winston's tale is a good example of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media in our age. Studies show that rudeness spreads quickly and virally , almost like the common cold. Just
witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. Once infected, we are more aggressive, less creative and worse at our jobs. The only way out is to make a conscious decision to do so. We must have the courage to call it out, face to face. We must say, \stop.\For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.
The anger we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do out-of-place things. Research discovered that the acts of revenge (报复)people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's behavior—but in a way that shamed her.
When we see rudeness occur in public places, we must step up and say something. And we can do it with grace, by handling it without a bit of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end the rudeness themselves. As this wave of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility (举止文明).
D. His reading of Carlin's feature B. His rejection of Carlin's
24. Robert Winston's reaction to the woman' behavior at the train can be described as ______ A. a way C. a good example of stopping rudeness D. an act of answering rudeness with rudeness
25. Being infected with rudeness can possibly lead to ______ .
A. wiser decisions C. poorer work performance
26. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What to Say to a Rude Person C. How to Fix Rudeness Spread Online

California has been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取).The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers (地下蓄水层)below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.
It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only
recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.
Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than
desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coastal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.
B. Civilization Calls for Civility D. Rude Behavior Makes a Rude Man B. more frustrated passengers D. more face-to-face communication
One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt
than shallower aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.
27. According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?
A. Previous drilling of wells.
B. The messy distribution system.
