21、Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around￡10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp (安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light­emitting diode (二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile­phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.

The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system’s keeper must buy a scratch card — for as little as a dollar — on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company’s server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.

Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around￡80 worth of scratch cards — which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months — the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10­watt solar cell.

In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.

According to Eight19’s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy­starved Kenyan spends around￡10 a month on oil — enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps — plus￡2 on charging his mobile phone in the market­place. Regular users of one of Eight19’s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.

【1】The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “______”.

A．make use of

B．come up with

C．look into

D．deal with

【2】What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?

A．Buy a scratch card.

B．Recharge it outside.

C．Buy another solar cell.

D．Return it to the company.

【3】How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5­watt solar cell?

A．Around￡10.

B．Around￡80.

C．Around￡90.

D．Around￡180.

【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .

A．Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell

B．using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money

C．few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity

D．the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells

22、Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google(Sergey Brin and Larry Page),Apple(Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs),and Microsoft(Bill Gates and Paul Allen)and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.

Everybody knows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.When the phone was launched in 2016,customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.

One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. “I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long, “she remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’ ,and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years. “Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!

【1】What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?

A．Two heads are better than one.

B．Constant dropping wears the stone.

C．God helps those who help themselves.

D．All things are difficult before they are easy.

【2】Why does the author mention Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7,8 and 9?

A．To suggest customers should follow the new trends.

B．To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.

C．To show Samsung paid for its product failure.

D．To explain that failures don’t spell the end.

【3】What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely’s success?

A．Her friends’help.

B．Her will power.

C．Her good luck.

D．Her education background.

【4】How does the author develop the passage?

A．By making contrast.

B．By making classification.

C．By giving examples.

D．By giving numbers.

23、Gardens come in all shapes and sizes. 【1】 But with a little planning and a few tips, you’ll be growing in no time.

One of the most important things to remember when planning a garden is to grow what you love. This way, you’ll be sure to enjoy the process. You can grow vegetables. If you don’t like vegetables, try fruits or flowers. You can grow a garden to feed yourself, your neighbors, and a family that’s going through a hard time. 【2】 Find your interest.

Once you decide what type of garden you’d like to start, you’ll need to plan a few things before getting to work. 【3】 Find a place that is fairly flat and gets good sunlight. After that, it is necessary to pick the right soil. An expert at a gardening store can advise you on the best soil for your needs.

After you have the correct soil, choose your plants. Will you start with seeds or young plants? Growing from seeds is often less expensive. And it’s more satisfying, because you have a chance to watch the growth from seed to plant. 【4】 There’s a better possibility your plant will survive the environment condition to produce.

【5】 I suggest planting right before the start of the growing season so the plants can adapt to the soil. You’ll see them start to produce sooner.

A．Now you’re ready to plant your garden.

B．Starting a new one might seem challenging.

C．But growing from young plants is easier.

D．First, work out where your garden will lie.

E．You’ll be able to plant season after season and try to grow new things.

F．It will help you explore and understand the whole progress of these plants.

G．There are many different things you can grow and many different reasons to grow.

24、The National Geographic Channel has unearthed a time capsule (时光宝盒)  buried by late Apple chairman and co-founder Steve Jobs thirty years ago.

The time capsule was buried in Aspen, Colorado, in 1983, shortly after Jobs attended the International Design Conference being held in that city. Organizers called the device the Aspen Time Tube and contributed items like Rubik's cubes(魔方) and some iconic music. Jobs added his own items to the capsule, including the " Lisa"  ( also known as an "Apple" ) mouse" he used for his presentation at the conference.

Younger readers may not recognize the name but the Lisa Apple mouse was one of the first commercial mice released to consumers. The mouse was specially designed for the Apple Lisa computer. It's also the first personal computer to offer users a graphical user interface(图形用户界面)

Initially, the plan was to dig up the time capsule in the year2000, but organizers forgot its exact location. Recently, they brought in researchers working with the National Geographic Channel show Diggers to find the device. Eventually they came across the 13-foot-long, 1.5-foot-diameter tube. Inside they found a lot of 1980s artifacts(人工制品)that are still being catalogued.

“When the end came off, literally things just poured out.” noted Diggers host Tim Saylor "There must be literally thousands of things in there.”

“They had the foresight to put a bunch of stuff in plastic bags." Saylor said. “I could see at least a dozen plastic bags and other items. But I know for sure there got to the photographs in there. People had hand-written things on the back of the photographs, so there will be some really interesting things inside.”

Among the artifacts researchers expect to discover inside: a Steve Jobs speech in which the Apple visionary outlines his predictions for future technologies. We should know more about the researchers, discoveries once the Diggers program airs this fall.

【1】Which of the following is true about the Lisa mouse?

A. The mouse was the first commercial one for consumers.

B. The mouse was created only for the Apple Lisa computer.

C. The mouse was buried in Aspen, Colorado for two decades.

D. The mouse was invented after the International Design Conference.

【2】Why wasn't the time capsule dug up in 2000?

A. Because it was not the time set by Steve Jobs.

B. Because it could not be accurately located.

C. Because organizers forgot its precise shape.

D. Because the local government didn't approve.

【3】From the passage we can infer that_______.

A. there were some special photographs found-inside the time capsule

B. a Steve Jobs speech with future predictions was found inside the cap

C. Steve Jobs predictions for future technologies have come true

D. more about the capsule will be discovered in the Diggers program

【4】The best title for the passage might be _______.

A. The "Lost" Steve Jobs Time Capsule

B. The Mystery of Steve Jobs Speech Solved

C. Steve Jobs' 1983 Time Capsule Recovered

D. Co-founder & Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs

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。

I stared at the hundreds of jigsaw puzzle(拼图）pieces spread out on the table. “This is going to take a while. ”

“Isn't that the point?” My 17-year-old daughter, Julia, said. “To keep us off the screens during the quarantine(隔离）？”

“Right,” I said.

“Maybe this will take my mind off everything I've lost,” Julia said. She was a senior in high school, missing the last weeks of school with her friends and teachers. A competition she'd worked for all school year was now canceled. There's uncertainty about her graduation ceremony. Next week, she'd celebrate her 18th birthday at home, unable to see her friends. But her biggest worry was for the college scholarship she'd applied for. With the university closed,the decision had been delayed.She couldn't choose which school to attend without knowing how much financial help she'd receive. Her whole future felt uncertain.

“I'm sorry, honey,” I said, picking up a puzzle piece. When I set it back down, I saw a drop of tear on the table. I looked at Julia's damp eyes and immediately put my arms around her, “Julia, you just have to believe it's going to work out. "

“I feel like my whole life is like this puzzle. All the pieces are out of place and I may never get them back together," she said. “If just one piece would go into place, I think I could handle the uncertainty of the rest. I just need a piece of it. ”

I'd known since the quarantine started that Julia would struggle with it more than her sisters. Because of her age, but also because of her outgoing personality, staying home would be the hardest for her.

“I know it's hard when we can't see the future, but we have to believe in life. Despite the difficulties and setbacks, we'll figure out everything, just like the jigsaw puzzle,"I held her hand and told her.
