21、My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood—a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.

My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a zing of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.

And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Hal Borland. He wrote it referencing October, but this year’s later drop had me change the month:“November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations (星座) above them once again.”

When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.

【1】What’s unusual this year?

A．Outdoor activities are limited due to heavy winds.

B．A series of special events happened in the neighborhood.

C．The weather is especially cold in winter in Massachusetts.

D．The neighbors’ big tree dropped all its leaves within a day.

【2】What kind of feeling does the underlined part “a zing of awe” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Anxiety.

B．Sorrow.

C．Comfort.

D．Amazement.

【3】Why is Hal Borland’s lines quoted in Paragrapn 3?

A．To express the author’s admiration for the naturalist.

B．To emphasize the importance of getting close to nature.

C．To express the author’s feelings about the leaf-falling season.

D．To emphasize the beauty of the author’s childhood memories.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Sky Far Beyond.

B．The Fall of Massachusetts.

C．The Beauty of a Newly-bare Tree.

D．The Memories of Peace and Beauty.

22、   When you catch the flu and your body temperature rises to fight the virus, that's a form of acute inflammation. So is the redness and swelling that occur when you hurt your ankle. The process is a temporary, helpful response to an injury or illness. It provides the healing chemicals and nutrients your body needs to repair the damage. Once the danger goes away, so does the inflammation.

Chronic low-grade inflammation, on the other hand, is a slow, gradual condition sustained by a misfiring of the immune system that keeps your body in a constant, long-term state of alert, says Dr Robert H. Shmerling, teaching clinician in the department of rheumatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, USA.

Over time, inflammation damages healthy cells. Here's why: When cells are in distress, they release chemicals that alert the immune system. White blood cells then flood the scene, where they work to eat up bacteria, viruses, damaged cells and pieces from an infection or injury. If the damage is too great, they call in backup cells known as neutrophils, which are the hand grenades of the immune system—they blow up everything in sight, healthy or not. Each neutrophil has a short life, but in chronic inflammation, they continue to be sent in long after the real threat is gone, causing damage to the healthy tissue that remains. The inflammation can start attacking the linings of your arteries or intestines, the cells in your liver and brain or the tissues of your muscles and joints.

This inflammation-caused cellular damage can trigger diseases like diabetes, cancer, dementia, heart disease, arthritis and depression. And because it's low grade, “it’s slow and secret nature makes it hard to diagnose in day-to-day life,” says Roma Pahwa, a researcher for the National Institutes of Health who specializes in the inflammatory response. “You have no idea it is even happening until those conditions show symptoms.”

【1】Which can best describe acute inflammation as a response?

A．Lasting.

B．Beneficial.

C．Harmful.

D．Dangerous.

【2】What can we learn about neutrophils?

A．They function as backup cells.

B．They only damage something bad.

C．They will disappear with a real threat.

D．They should cause slight damage.

【3】What we infer from the last paragraph?

A．We can't be too careful about cellular damage.

B．Doctors can identify cellular damage with ease.

C．Cellular damage is fast and obvious in nature.

D．There exists no effective cure for cellular damage.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A．To introduce some ways to keep healthy.

B．To get inflammation known to people.

C．To warn people of dangers of cellular damage.

D．To recommend a cure for diabetes.

23、Phrases like “tiger mom” and ‘‘helicopter parent” have made their way into everyday language. Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?

Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, conducted by Diana Baumrind, a famous psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence. These “authoritative parents” appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically, psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved, or controlling and more involved. Why is this parenting style so successful?

Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children. Carol Dweck, a social psychologist at Stanford University, has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children. In a typical experiment, Dr. Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how clever they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.

As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence. Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one’s status as “smart”. Dr. Dweck’s work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.

The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident. If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can’t walk, you reduce her confidence. Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

【1】According to the passage, a “tiger mom” ______.

A. helps her children realize their dreams

B. speaks her children’s everyday language

C. places reasonable expectations on her children

D. pays close attention to her children’s experiences

【2】It is implied that controlling style of parenting may _____.

A. cause more problems in children

B. foster independence in children

C. face more challenges of children

D. lead to children’s academic success

【3】The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests that ______.

A. a good game plays a big role in training young minds

B. overpraising makes children less motivated and confident

C. puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need

D. bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games

【4】The last paragraph tells us that ______.

A. children should not be given much freedom

B. parents should not increase the risk of challenging

C. parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes

D. children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents

24、When my grandmother Deed was young she contracted polio (小儿麻痹症). She was kept in bed for the better part of a year and lost the use of her right leg. She was raising my young father on her own, so it felt like an impossible situation. Her family gave her much support and encouragement. Slowly but surely, Deed learned not only to deal, but to thrive with her disability. People thought she was crazy when she wanted to start her own business, but she was determined. She borrowed money from the bank for her business. She went on to run a successful company and became one of the first women entrepreneurs in the city of Revere, Massachusetts.

I truly believe polio was a gift to my grandmother. It strengthened her beliefs and made her strong and resilient (有适应力的), but it also forced her to slow down and think about everything quietly and seriously. She never complained about her condition, not once.

However, I often got angry and complained when things weren't going my way. Deed would turn to me and gave me advice on my next move. Though far from Hollywood (she lived on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire), Deed seemed to know answers to the problems that seemed to puzzle me. She was my trusted mentor (导师). With each visit, she would help me better myself; expand my mind and go after bigger dreams.

I became confident, more driven and focused on what I wanted to achieve. Each step of the way, Deed was there to cheer me on. The more I leaned back out of fear, the more she challenged me to walk further to the possibilities.

Within a month of selling my first screenplay, Deed passed away. She is on my mind daily. Now, whenever I deal with career issues that scare me, I would remind myself of her greatest piece of advice: Sit down and take a breath. It will all work out.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．Introducing Deed to us.

B．Telling us what Deed suffered.

C．Showing us the author's family.

D．Informing us about Deed's disease.

【2】What can we conclude from Deed's disability?

A．Every dog has its day.

B．Every coin has two sides.

C．Hard work pays off.

D．Time and tide wait for no man.

【3】What would Deed do when the author got puzzled in life?

A．Complain to him.

B．Give him some advice.

C．Explain the trouble to him.

D．Move a step forward to him.

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A．To tell us how he got success.

B．To give us some advice on life.

C．To show us his life in the childhood.

D．To remember his grandmother.

25、I was driving my 5-year-old son home when I saw a homeless man in the median strip (中央分隔带) in the road.

I wanted to give the man some ________ , but I didn’t have any cash. My son ________ the man as well and he insisted that I give the man the 30 cents he had. It seemed that he had read my ________ and he responded out loud.

I was more than ________ that he wanted to help, but honestly, I was ________ . I didn’t want to give just 30 cents to this man who clearly ________ more help. My own pride and ________ over the homeless man's disappointed reaction to ________ just two coins stood in the way.

I quickly realized that I was the only ________ in the situation and that the traffic light would turn green soon. I then thought to myself, “I’ve been teaching him about ________ others and now that he wants to give everything he can ________ , I shouldn’t let my personal self-centeredness ________ this act of kindness.”

I almost told my son, “Let’s wait to ________ until we at least have one dollar.” I almost told my son that what he had wasn’t ________ . I almost showed him that what he saw as a good thing couldn’t make a ________ in someone’s life. I almost taught him that personal ________ was more important than helping another human.

________ , I quickly got rid of that foolishness.

I then rolled down the window and said to the man, “I’m sorry. I don’t have any cash on me, but my 5-year-old son back in the ________ wants to give you everything he has right now.”

To my ________ , the smile on that man's face lit up the intersection. The only thing that matched the ________ of that stranger’s smile was the bigger smile on my boy’s face.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Feeling hungry? If you're feeling starved, what is the easiest way to satisfy your hunger? Many of us will reach for a takeaway menu and order some delicious but possibly unhealthy food. And our increasingly busy life adds to our need to buy ready-made food on the go or delivered to our home.

Eating options are endless, and new technology means we can feed our desire at the push of a button. Takeaway delivery apps make ordering food quick and convenient. This is especially the case during the recent coronavirus crisis, when people stuck at home with nothing to cook or lacked the skills to prepare a meal for themselves. It's calculated that in the UK alone, people eat three million takeaway meals a day, and the three biggest delivery apps together offer a choice of 100 cuisines from 60,000 restaurants. Amelia Brophy, Head of UK Data Products at You Goy, told the BBC that its research “suggests that the frequency of takeaways ordered is expected to increase in the future.”

It's no wonder we are tempted (诱惑) to skip the grocery shopping, avoid the kitchen, and tuck into (大口吃) something that someone else has prepared. But ordering a deep crust pizza, a spicy curry or a box of noodles, can come at a price both financially and to our health. Eating too much processed and unhealthy fast food has some effect on obesity and the risk of developing certain diseases. Children and adolescents who eat fast food at least three times a week are more likely to develop eczema, according to one study. Eczema is a skin condition that causes patches of itchy skin.

Of course, reducing salt, sugar and fat is one way to make takeaway food healthier. Yet, that's far from enough. The best advice you might want to take is to find a recipe book and try making your own meal.
