21、   My grandfather worked as a carpenter. On a particular day, he was building some cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the cases. The Great Depression (大萧条时期) was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.

Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago. He began by thanking the people for their kindness. “But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”

After a pause he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!” The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.

A．got his glasses back from the director of the orphanage

B．found that his glasses were at home at last

22、   Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy, and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker. So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist, thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering.

Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school’s robotics instructor.

The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later.

Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor.

Now, between classes Nick steers his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence.

【1】Why did Amy Smith want a device?

A．To increase her student’s confidence.

B．To encourage cooperation at school.

C．To inspire a robotics invention.

D．To help treat a muscle disease.

【2】With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ________.

A．move around easily

B．put his things away

C．continue his schooling

D．open and close his locker

【3】According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt?

A．Caring and passionate.

B．Talented and ambitious.

C．Sensitive and insightful.

D．Humble and warmhearted.

23、These days, teens are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That’s 5-more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven’t yet considered the hours they spend using the internet and reading newspapers.

However, several studies have shown a serious problem:Today’s teens lack media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see. One study focused on middle school students. It found more than 80 percent of them couldn’t tell the difference between real news stories and ads that looked like news.

Stanford University professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The Professor gave an example that shows why media literacy matters. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. “With a news’ story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details. These details largely depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John, “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one aspect at one point in time. There is more going on.”

Some experts think School is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone from parents to journalists should help teens learn the skill.

As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts recommend the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.” said John.

【1】What can we know about teens today from paragraph 1?

A．They are willing to read newspaper at home.

B．They prefer watching TV to surfing the internet.

C．They spend more time watching TV than studying.

D．They are fond of surfing the internet better at school.

【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A．Most of teens have trouble with reading.

B．Most of teens needs to practise thinking.

C．Most of teens are short of media literacy.

D．Most of teens lay stress on media effects.

【3】What does the example given by professor imply?

A．There are many sides to a thing at one time.

B．Terrible road conditions cause inconvenience.

C．One’s media literacy depends on your attitude.

D．News details must be announced by news stations.

【4】Which of the following statements does John agree with?

A．Parents have the responsibility to realize media literacy.

B．Teens should learn media literacy as early as possible.

C．The best age for children to learn is the age of 12.

D．Children can be taught better only at school.

24、Traveling alone can be daunting. I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey. This time was different.

Last week I had a holiday, from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week.

One week by myself. Would I be lonely? Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums that would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends. I walked all around the city, which' some people may have found too exhausting. Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my' independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn’t know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.

In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone. I missed having someone to talk to and to bounce ideas off. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.

In addition, eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own.

I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group. Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative.

【1】What happened to the author last week?

A．She traveled alone to Toronto during a work vacation.

B．She felt lonely away from home and missed her family.

C．She found someone meeting her during a trip to Toronto.

D．She made a trip as her friend during the same week to Toronto.

【2】We can learn from the article that the author ________.

A．finds it boring and dull to visit museums

B．has already acquired great map-reading skills

C．believes she could benefit by traveling alone more

D．enjoys sharing traveling stories with family and friends

【3】What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

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。

People always hold the belief that money talks. As for me, I had the same opinion. But a small thing changed all that I thought.

I was wandering in the street market on a Sunday morning before Christmas. There were so many people and so much noise. People were coming and going, chatting, bargaining and laughing. I walked back and forth and then got to the place where carp (鲤鱼) was sold. The carp-sellers were so busy today because there were much more buyers than sellers.

Many buyers were surrounding an old woman, asking and even shouting. At the edge of the crowd, there was a little boy with a handful of small change and a middle-aged man who looked like a gentleman. The little boy seemed impatient, and he tried to crowd into those people but in vain since he was so young, which made him very worried. But the middle-aged man was taking his time and he looked so relaxed with a cigarette in his fingers. Breathing out a cloud of smoke, he sneered (冷笑) and showed a disgusting look towards the crowd.

The old woman’s business was so good that for a short time her two full baskets of carp turned into empty. One of the baskets had only one carp left. And meanwhile the buyers were also gone except two—the little boy and the middle-aged man.

They handed out some money nearly at the same time, saying the same words, “I’d like to buy the fish!” The scene immediately attracted me and I determined to take some time to find out who would get the only fish.

“How much is the fish?” the middle-aged man asked. “3 dollars per kilogram,” the old woman answered.

“Weight?” the middle-aged asked then. “3 kilograms,” the old woman answered.

“I just have the enough money, I will buy it!” the little boy said with bright eyes.

“I’ll give you ten dollars to buy it!” the middle-aged man began to catch the fish.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

“Grandma, our teacher has a strange disease and only carp can cure her,” the little boy begged.

Paragraph 2:
