22、“It’s too sugary, I can’t manage very many,” said a friend. She wasn’t talking about dessert but about some fresh cherries. I bit into another cherry and realized she was right. The fruit was so sweet that it was as if it had been pre-sugared.
But the cherries of my childhood were much less sweet than today’s cherries. Some of them were hardly sweet at all, which made it all the more exciting when you happened upon a super sweet one.
Is modern fruit getting sweeter? The answer is yes. Some of the most powerful evidence comes from zoos. In 2018, Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay and weight gain.
Breeding isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. It’s found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples have become significantly sweeter and softer.
But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes, who have to be careful to moderate their intake of higher - sugar fruits such as pineapple. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the phytochemicals (植物化学成分) that make it so healthy.
Health aside, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world filled with sugar. Even grapefruit, which used to be quite bitter, is sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one? Experts put forwards some thoughts about how to appreciate the various tastes of modern fruit.
【1】Why does the author mention her friend’s words in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the extreme sweetness of modern cherries.
B.To highlight the content of friend’s preference for sour cherries.
C.To emphasize the importance of pre-sugaring fruits.
D.To show the breeding and selection of modern fruit.
【2】What’s the author’ view on the rise of consistently sweeter fruit?
A.The author believes it has no impact on health.
B.The author sees it as a triumph of plant breeding.
C.The author thinks it is a bit worrying in today’s world.
D.The author is concerned that it will lead to bitterness in fruit.
【3】What is a shortcoming of the modern fruit according to the passage?
A.It is short of healthy phytochemicals.
B.It may not be as tasty as it used to be.
C.It could lack variety and contrast in taste.
D.It doesn’t meet people’s need for sweetness.
【4】What might the author continue talking about?
A.The advice on selecting modern fruit.
B.The approaches to freeing bitter fruit.
C.The comments about cultivated grapefruit.
D.The research into the health of zoo animals.
23、If you’re making the film with other people, organize your cast and crew effectively. Make sure everybody knows their roles and what day and times they’re needed.
Give people specific jobs so they can become experts in their field. For example, a sound recordist listens to the sound through headphones as it’s being recorded, and holds an extra microphone if needed.
A camera operator frames the picture(取景), sets focus, checks the light and records the action. The editor “cuts” the picture together after it’s shot.
A producer is the contact point for the film. He or she makes sure crew and cast are there on time, talks to the press and organizes the budget.
A director has to make sure their vision is communicated. To do this everyone needs to be clear about what the director expects from each scene and each shot.
You may also need a make-up-artist, a choreographer, a driver, etc. However, you can quite easily make your first film on your own. Make a schedule that says which shots are to be taken where and when (this is called a shooting schedule) and when you’ve completed a take, cross it off the list. Remember that you may want to shoot “out of sequence”, e.g. shoot the last scene first, and the first last. Similarly if the film begins and ends by a tree in the park, it may make sense to film both scenes while you’re there.
If you’re making animation (动画片), have a space that you can control. You may need extra lights and you may need to leave work in progress. Make sure people living with you are aware what’s happening. Animation needs a lot of undisturbed concentration and patience. Keep at it and it’ll pay off. Aardman and Disney both started off at home experimenting with clay, pens and a camera.
【1】From the first two paragraphs we can learn that ________.
A. every crew member is an expert in his field
B. careful preparations and arrangements are quite necessary
C. both the cast and crew must arrive at the same time every day
D. every person should have his equipment while working together
【2】A director knows the purpose of each step of the work, but ________.
A. he needn’t tell others about that
B. other members just follow his orders
C. he must have it known and well understood by others
D. others may have their own ideas and special ways of working
【3】To shoot a film, a shooting schedule must be fixed first ________.
A. but it may be crossed off if unnecessary
B. but you needn’t work exactly on it
C. and each step must be carried out according to it
D. and no one can change it once it is settled
24、I was sure this was the worst day of my life. Being diagnosed with Type I diabetes felt almost like a death sentence. My life changed in an instant, and I was terrified of not being able to cope with a chronic (慢性的) disease and afraid that I would never get to be a normal child. Little did I know that this condition would later on allow me to give back to my community through my volunteering initiatives and pursue a career where I could help others.
The impact that my disease had on my family was profound. We all had to learn to adjust to a new reality. I knew that it was up to me to make this work, but I felt lost. After a few days, the initial shock was replaced by denial, then came anger, and little by little, I later gained acceptance. By exercising determination and courage, I decided I would not let it dictate who I was or what I could become.
Meanwhile, I realized that some things in life are better dealt with by having a support system. With this in mind, I looked for volunteering positions where I could share my experience with others and listen to their own struggles. After I got involved in different initiatives, I decided to organize a support group for students who were dealing with difficult situations. The group was so successful that I was invited to other schools to talk about the difference we made in our members, lives by just listening to one another.
We all have challenges in life. Looking back, what felt like a death sentence at first turned into a way of supporting others in my community. It proves that the lessons we take from the setbacks we encounter can, in fact, be fundamental to later success.
【1】Why did the author describe illness diagnosis as a death sentence?
A.Because the diagnosis was deadly.
B.Because the condition disabled him.
C.Because the disease ruined his career.
D.Because the illness robbed him of his normal life.
【2】How did the author eventually adjust himself to the new reality?
A.He sought support from his family.
B.He lost himself in mood swings.
C.He relied on strong will and courage.
D.He gained acceptance from others.
【3】What did the author do to give back to community?
A.Extending a helping hand to difficult students.
B.Inviting volunteers to share their experience.
C.Organizing donations to help those in a struggle.
D.Starting up a support group for students in need.
【4】What lesson did the author draw from his experience?
A.Cheerfulness is the promoter of health.
B.Helping those in need is a delight.
C.Obstacles bear the seed of success.
D.Life is measured by depth than by time.

26、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。
“Where’s the rest of my paper?” thundered an angry Papa Bear, storming into the living room. It didn’t take him long to find Brother Bear and the sports section.
“I just borrowed it.” said Brother. Papa snatched it up and plumped down in his easy chair. Brother wandered into the kitchen looking for sympathy from Mama Bear. “Gee,” he said, “what’s eating him?” “Your father looks forward to his evening paper,” Mama said, “and he has a perfect right to be annoyed when half of it is missing — and furthermore, thank you not to refer to your father as him!”
She stomped out of the kitchen.
“Why not? He’s a him, isn’t he? Gosh,” said Brother, “what’s eating her?”
What was “eating” Mama was Sister Bear. Sister had been on the phone with Lizy Bruin for almost an hour.
“But Mama!” she protested when she was told to say good-bye.
“Don’t But Mama’ me!“ said Mama Bear. “This is not your private phone. You’ve had all day to talk to Lizy at school, and you’ll have all day to talk to her tomorrow. So hang up that phone now!”
Sister did as she was told.
“Phew!” breathed Brother as he fell into the seat beside Cousin Fred on the school bus.
“Tough morning?” asked Fred.
“You better believe it!” said Sister, taking the seat Lizzy had saved for her.
The four compared notes on the way to school. The children agreed that while there was no doubt that their parents loved them, they were a little difficult to get along with sometimes. They nagged (唠叨); they said no a lot; and they never wanted kids to have any fun.
“Hey,” said Brother as they got off the bus, “what are we going to do for the Parents Night Talent Show?” “Don’t know,” said Lizzy. “Let’s think about it”
When the four searched their brains, Brother snapped his fingers and said, “I’ve got it! Remember what we were talking about just now?” “Sure,” said Fred. “We were saying how grownups can be a big pain.”
Paragraph one:
“Well,” said Brother, “let’s put on a play about that, and call it...”
