（2021·云南·高二期末）Many graduation ceremonies look different. But for Melody Ormond, it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her—her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.

Pat took her first college class at Kennesaw State University 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College in Kentucky. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.

Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.

“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody Ormond and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven R. Angle, UTC Chancellor,” Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”

Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops. Even if it’s auditing (旁听) a few classes, there’s always that option. “Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree — a bachelor’s degree in history.

Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time.

4. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Represent.      B．Follow.    C．Repeat. D．Identify.

5. What can we know about Pat’s family?

A．They are anxious to be celebrities.

B．They support and encourage each other.

C．They prefer auditing regular lessons.

D．They never stop creating opportunities.

6. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story?

A．Passion gives life power. B．A good beginning is half done.

C．It’s never too late to learn. D．Love can change everything.

（2021·四川省成都市新都一中高二期末）Chinese Literature Readers' Club was recently launched in Beijing in a bid to promote the country's literature around the world.

Initiated by China Writers Association, literature organizations and Chinese literature lovers overseas, this club will provide a platform for communication about, and the exchange of, literature from home and abroad.

Speaking at the launch ceremony in August, Tie Ning, head of China Writers Association, said that reading, appreciating and exchanging ideas about literary works from a country will help to break through ignorance, isolation and prejudices, enabling people to not be blinded by stereotypical views and really be able to understand a country's historical origins, cultural context, social development and philosophical ideas.

She added that it also allows people to spiritually get close to, and understand, the rich emotional world of the people there and their vibrant life, and to feel that “we are all a part of a community with a shared future for mankind”.

Chinese literature has a history of “several thousand years”, including countless jewels that can be called an inheritance of human civilization that can be kept as permanent memories, as well as excellent modern and contemporary works that can arouse empathy in readers around the world. However, few Chinese writers are really known by readers in other countries, apart from those who have won international literary awards, Tie noted.

“It is, therefore, our common cultural mission to establish Chinese Literature Readers’ Club to introduce Chinese literature to the world, and to increase the mutual understanding and friendship between different peoples,” Tie said.

The clubs in different countries will build a bridge for overseas readers to get in touch with contemporary Chinese literature and its writers. They will organize events, both online and in-person, through local educational institutions, publishing houses, libraries, traditional media and social media networks.

So far, the club has set up branches in 12 countries-Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, Iran, Russia, Poland, Serbia, Germany, France, Britain and Chile.

7. Why was Chinese Literature Readers’ Club set up?

A．To help Chinese writers sell more books. 

B．To inspire more people to become writers.

C．To spread Chinese literature to other countries. 

D．To invite more foreign writers to write in China.

8. What can we infer about Chinese literature?

A．It is hard for foreign readers to understand. 

B．It lacks modern and contemporary works.

C．It is not so good as foreign literature. 

D．It is not very popular in the world.

9. How does the Club work?

A．By building bridges in other countries. 

B．By organizing different kinds of activities.

C．By getting in touch with readers online.       ` 

D．By setting up branches within the country.

10. Which is the best title of the passage?

A．Future Road Reshaped for Chinese Readers

B．Chinese Literature Gets Boost from New Book Club

C．Chinese Literature Needs New Blood from the World

D．Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Chinese Literature
