3．Reader question：
Please explain "take your hat off in this sentence： "You've got to take your hat off to somebody when they're doing right，and I take my hat off to him."
My comments：
In this quote （引文），the speaker says，to give credit where it's due，he takes his hat off by way of gratitude of praise.In other words，the speaker wants to admire "him" for doing something right.
This expression，taking one's hat off，has its root in the traditional practice of people taking their hats off in different situations.First of all，people wore hats a lot more in the past than they do nowadays，especially in cold areas.When two men met in the street，they might say hello or they might greet each other by taking their hat off and slightly waving it in the other person's direction.
Or，for example，when a man saw a woman，he took off his hat.That was good manners.Or people took off their hats when they were passing a funeral （葬禮） ceremony.Or everybody took their hat off when an anthem（圣歌） was played in a sports stadium.
Customs may have changed，but taking one's hat off as a gesture of respect or a sign of praise or thank-you has remained - in the metaphorical （隱喻） sense.
Hereafter，the saying "I take my hat off to you" is used whenever someone's done something we think outstanding and praiseworthy.
（1）In which part of the newspaper can you read this article？
A．Just Ask
B．Science Study
C．Star Stories
D．Magic World
（2）"My comments" is aimed to.
A．introduce the root of the quote "take your hat off"
B．explain the meaning of the quote "take your hat off
C．encourage people to use the quote "take your hat off"
D．show the metaphorical sense of the quote "take your hat off"
（3）In which of the following situation might you take your hat off？
A．Tom went on a school trip last Friday.
B．Mary got a surprise on her birthday.
C．Mike got the first prize in 3000-meter race.
D．Tony made a new friend in the library.
（4）How does the writer answer the reader's question？
A．By telling stories.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing reasons.
D．By comparing quotes.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.7 -
4．La Gomera is one of a few places in the world which has a whistled （口哨）language.We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island.But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistled language.There are many deep valleys on the island.A person on one side of a valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side.But he can whistle and be heard.Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.The people who live on the island usually have good teeth，and this helps them to whistle well.They must also have good ears so that they can hear the other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistled language continues.It is very useful on the island，and quite easy to learn.When somebody is hurt or ill，the whistled language takes the place of the telephone.If the sick person is quite far away from the town，people pass the message from one to another.A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat.The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town.People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.
The whistled language is hundreds of years old，and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more.Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country.But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle.Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island，the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
（1）Why did the whistled language begin in La Gomera？
A．There were many deep valleys on the island.
B．The people on the island had good ears.
C．The people on the island had good teeth.
D．The whistlers could be heard four miles away.
（2）We can probably learnfrom Para.2.
A．what people think of the island
B．how people pass messages
C．who continues the whistled language
D．where people learn the whistled language
（3）The underlined word "nobody" in Para.3 probably means.
A．a(chǎn)n unreal person
B．a(chǎn)n unlucky person
C．a(chǎn)n unhappy person
D．a(chǎn)n unknown person
（4）What may be the best title of this passage？
A．Whistlers，Passers on an Island
B．Lo Gomera，a Famous Island
C．Reasons，the Start of a Whistled Language
D．Whistling，a Special Language that committee.組卷：20引用：2難度：0.7 -
5．Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant leads the list of inductees（入選者） for this year's Sports Hall of Fame.Kobe died on January 26，2020 at age 41 in a helicopter crash，along with his 13-year-old daughter，Gianna，and 7 other passengers.
"He was the head of FIBA and this was a way to honor him，" Hall of Fame chairman Jerry Colangelo said. "It was a special thing done through that committee."
All men's success is not accidental，even if you're Kobe.He insisted to get up at four thirty in the morning and throw into a thousand balls to the end and practiced to the point of exhaustion.A reporter once asked him why he was so successful，Kobe replied， "Do you know the way you to at half past four in the morning in Los Angeles？" The reporter shook his head， "I know every day at half past four in the morning in Los Angeles，" Kobe went on to say...
Kobe's death has been part of a jarring start of the year for basketball：NBA commissioner Emeritus David Stern died on Jan I，Kobe and his daughter Gianna were among nine who died in the accident in late January，and the NBA shut down on March 11 as the COVID-19 began to influence North America.
Within hours of his death on Sunday morning，his name was appearing suddenly on city buses and undergrounds，on the walls of streets，and in a thousand gifts left outside the downtown Staples Center in Los Angeles.City leaders，meanwhile，lit up public buildings in purple and gold，the colors of the Lakers，for whom Kobe played all 20 of his professional seasons.
As the days pass，it has become clear that this is no ordinary grief.Kobe，as everyone knew him，was a man who touched a great number of lives in many ways.He was a supporter for victims （受害者） of police violence （暴力），but he also gave away money to a children's fund.What's more，he set up a fund to develop youth sports both soccer and basketball.In Los Angeles，everyone is mourning （哀悼） Kobe Bryant in their way.
（1）What does the underlined word "It" in Para.2 probably refer to？
A．Kobe led the list of inductees for the Hall of Fame.
B．Kobe died in a helicopter crash along with his daughter.
C．Kobe worked really hard and became the head of FIBA.
D．Kobe's name appeared suddenly on city's buses and undergrounds.
（2）What can we learn from Kobe's words in Para.3？
A．It's never too old to learn.
B．Early to bed and early to rise.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Repeated words make others believe.
（3）What's the right order of the events？
①Kobe died at age 41 in a helicopter crash.
②The NBA shut down because of the COVID-19.
③City leaders lit up public buildings in the colors of the Lakers.
④Kobe insisted to throw into a thousand ball in the morning in Los Angeles.
A．④-②-①-③
