21、Life is full of peaks and valleys. Sometimes you’re up, and sometimes you’re down.【1】 when you can improve your ability to deal with the difficult times. Here’s how to make getting through hard times less difficult.

Stay positive. When you stay positive, you’re putting yourself in the best position possible to not only make it through those bad times, but become a better person in the process.【2】when life takes a turn for the worst. You can remain positive and remind yourself that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel（隧道）and that you’ll make it through, or you can relegate（降级）yourself to being nothing more than a victim of circumstance.

【3】. You’re setting yourself up for frustration（沮丧）when you focus your time and energy on things you can’t control. You should instead focus on the things that are within your control because that’s the only way you can make a change that’s actually going to help you. Make a list of everything you can control about the situation and put all of your focus on them. 【4】.

Realize you have come a long way. Sometimes we get so focused on the road ahead that we never look back to see what we’ve already traveled.【5】. You will increase your own confidence when you realize that you have already made so much progress and the light at the end of the tunnel will get brighter.

Practice what is mentioned above, and you will find that the difficult times you’re going through will start to seem less significant.

A．You can do one of the two things

B．Learn from the difficult times and control them

C．Focus on what you can control, not what you can’t

D．Anything that’s not on the list doesn’t get any attention

E．Give yourself praise for everything you have already done

F．You not only live a happier life, but you also grow as a person

G．The difficult times on the list mean you need a little more guidance

22、Using the power of the ocean’s tidal streams can provide a reliable means of helping to meet the country’s future energy demand, according to a new research in the UK. However, it will require government funding to accelerate innovation and drive down its cost so that future projects can provide cheap electricity.

And such opportunities are not presently available given the government’s funding schemes. So far, access to government funding has helped install 18 MW of tidal stream capacity. This relatively modest funding support to date has put the tidal stream sector on a steep cost reduction trajectory. However, cost reduction has slowed since access to funding has been removed. Continuing such support is essential to enable it to become cost-competitive with biomass and nuclear.

The study also explored the potential environmental effects of such future developments and found no evidence to suggest that the next phase of tidal stream development will cause significant harmful environmental impact. The study was released just a day before the COP26 conference.

Dr. Danny Coles, the study’s lead author, said: “Our study shows there is considerable evidence that the UK’s tidal stream energy resource can provide 11％of our current annual electricity demand. Achieving this would require around 11.5 GW of tidal stream turbine capacity to be installed, and we currently stand at just 18 MW. It took the UK offshore wind industry approximately 20 years to reach 11.5 GW of installed capacity. If tidal stream power is going to contribute to the net-zero transition, time is of the essence.”

The UK Government has already committed to a Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050.However, electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050 and while wind and solar will be the main contributors to meet this demand, a diverse generation technology mix is needed to keep the lights on. Tidal stream power is technically practicable and an important element of future net zero energy generation.

【1】What is the primary concern in developing tidal stream power?

A．Safety in producing.

B．Offshore wind capacity.

C．Challenges in engineering.

D．Government’s financial support.

【2】What can we learn about the UK’s tidal stream power from Dr. Coles?

A．The UK has set up enough turbines.

B．It plays a major role in reaching zero release.

C．More efforts are needed to realize its full potential.

D．It provides 11％of the UK’s present electricity demand.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards developing tidal stream power?

A．Conservative.

B．Positive.

C．Objective.

D．Skeptical.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．UK benefits from tidal energy

B．UK fails to meet its electricity demand

C．UK’s tidal energy can aid drive for net-zero

D．UK’s tidal energy dominates sources of electricity

23、Five-year-old Willard Wigan couldn’t tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9 because of dyslexia, a learning disability. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog, or to the ants. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them, small and insignificant. He noticed the ants were coming and going from a hole in the dirt. Gathering pieces of wood, Willard constructed a little building for ants.

At school, Willard still had problems, but he knew he could do something special. Willard created tiny furniture for the ant houses. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow. At age nine, Willard began carving (雕刻) faces on toothpicks. When he showed his mother the carved faces, she said, “This is what you do well. You must work hard to be the best.” Years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a full stop at the end of a sentence.

Willard works best at night when there are few disturbances. He often works for months to complete a sculpture. Willard’s favorite paintbrush is one hair from the back of a dead fly! To move his sculptures, Willard uses an eyelash. But even that can be tough. Once, while moving a microscopic Alice in Wonderland, his cell phone rang. Terrified, Willard took in a quick breath. When he looked back, Alice was gone. After working for weeks to carve her, he’d accidentally breathed her in!

Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan who felt small as a boy has shown something small can really be big.

【1】What can we know about Willard from paragraph 1?

A．He was interested in math.

B．He had a physical problem.

C．He was crazy about building.

D．He thought himself unimportant.

【2】What is Willard especially good at?

A．Playing word puzzles.

B．Observing animals.

C．Creating tiny artworks.

D．Making furniture.

【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A．Willard is nervous when working at night.

B．Willard uses traditional tools in carving.

C．Alice in Wonderland is a huge success.

D．Carving takes a lot of time and effort.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．The Big Little Artwork.

B．House Building for Ants.

C．The True Meaning of Success.

D．A Boy with a Disability.

24、Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly-in, fl1y-out” parents might influence the health of their children.

A higher percentage (比例) of teenagers who experienced the long work absence of a parent had emotional (情感的) or behavioral problems compared with those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research finding high percentages of emotional problems in teenagers who often returned to an empty house after school or whose parents were seldom at dinner.

Findings also suggest that parents don’t have to be home all the time to be present in their children’s lives, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant.

Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy each other’s company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter’s invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close.

In fact, many years of research suggest that children use their parents as a safe base (基地，大本营) from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents’ movements from room to room, even while going on with their own activities. Perhaps our teens, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don’t want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom.

A new school year is at hand, so as parents we could offer our teenagers a “potted flower”, as a gift, whose quiet and steady (稳定的) presence will give them a great day.

【1】What did the study find about the 618 teens?

A．They had more dinners with their parents.

B．They were more prepared to help themselves.

C．They showed more dislike for traditional working hours.

D．They were more likely (可能的) to have trouble with their feelings.

【2】What is the author’s attitude to her two friends’ behaviour?

A．She doubts them.

B．She supports them.

C．She is worried about them.

D．She cares little about them.

【3】What does earlier research say about young kids according to paragraph 5?

A．They want their parents’ presence.

B．They want their parents to be safe.

C．They want more freedom from parents..

D．They show more interest in new activities.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Teens Want Potted Plant Parents

B．Your Kids Still Need Conversation

C．Quiet Families Raise Healthier Teenagers

D．Parents Know Little About Today’s Teenagers

25、   On Friday afternoon Class Seven had an Art lesson. It was their favourite lesson of the week. Everyone ______ Trudy Hubble looked forward to it. Trudy had arms that stuck out and always knocked things over.

When Trudy came into the classroom, Rob Mason said, “Look out, here comes Trouble!” All the kids ______. Trudy had to smile and pretended she didn’t mind. How she wished she could be more like Lisa Gibbs, who had small hands and feet and never ______ things over!

That day, they were going to paint animals. Again, Trudy knocked over the jam jar. Dirty water spread in a pool across the table and ______ Lisa’s dragon. Every time Trudy tried to do Art, it was always a ______.

“I hate Art,” Trudy thought as she went home on the bus, wishing never to go to school again.

As soon as she got home, Mum asked her to take a ______ to Mrs. Willow.

Trudy knocked on the door and the door opened. There stood an old lady, so tall and elegant, like her house, which was full of ______ china.

“My mum’s your home help. She won’t be able to come tomorrow. She’s got a cold.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. What she needs is my special cold ______. Come inside and I’ll give you some. ” Mrs. Willow opened the door wider.

Keeping her arms pressed to her sides, Trudy stood ______, much like a statue, afraid to move in.

“Why?”

“I am the clumsiest person in our school! I know something will get broken when I’m ______.”

“I used to be clumsy too, a real ugly little duck,” Mrs. Willow smiled. “But I grew up to be a swan(白天鹅).”

“But I don't think I shall,” Trudy doubted. “I’ll just grow up to be an ugly ______.”

“Not if you do as I did. You have to keep telling yourself that inside, where it matters, you’re really a swan.”

“I’m a swan,” Trudy ______ her throat and took the medicine, heading for home.

Next morning Mum’s cold was much better. “If Mrs. Willow’s cold cure is a kind of ______, then her swan cure must work as well.” Trudy couldn’t wait to try it out.

In the school playground some children stood looking up into the chestnut tree. Lisa was in tears.

“What’s the matter?” asked Trudy.

“It’s my kite,” Lisa said, wiping her eyes. “Rob let go and it’s got ______ up the tree.”

“I’ll get it down for you,” Trudy said kindly.

“No, you’ll tear it!” Lisa looked ______. “It’s a special Chinese kite! I got it for my birthday.”

For a moment Trudy felt like her old ______ self. But then she remembered what Mrs. Willow had said. It didn't matter how she looked outside. Inside, she was really a swan.

She jumped up and grabbed the lowest ______ and began to climb. “Swans never rush,” she told herself. It took her ages, but she didn't rush. At last she managed to ______ the kite. But now she had to climb down again using only one hand. Very, very ______ she swung herself down to the ground. The kite was safe!

“Thanks, Trudy.” Lisa showed it to the others. “Look, it’s all right!”

Trudy felt very, very proud and different. Smiling at everyone, she walked swan-like across the playground and into school, so tall and ______.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad got a new job. We had to pack up and move away from everything we were familiar with. There were so many changes. We came from the north, and now we were almost as far south as possible. We landed in South Florida, and we were total strangers. We moved over during the summer vacation, so I didn’t have to deal with school right away. Summer passed by while we unpacked, arranged furniture, found stores we liked, and adapted to the Sunshine State.

School was coming, and I was afraid of it. I was not an adventurous person. Being shy and quiet, I read a lot and did not make friends easily. My head was filled with fears and worries. Would I make friends? Would If it in? Would I survive in this strange new world? Anyway, there I was, attending a new school full of people I didn’t know.

I had a difficult time adapting to the new school. However, I still loved learning and reading. I even loved homework, and I was good at doing my homework. Loving books and reading helped me to get good grades. Teachers loved that about me. Other kids, though, did not. Although I always answered questions in class, I seldom talked with my classmates. I was unpopular. I felt like a total failure and nobody would like me.

The none day, at all boy walked over to me after an English class. He introduced himself and told me he was in the school basketball team. I knew him—he was the star player! “Hey,” he said. “You do really well in English class. And you know, my teammates and I spend much time competing and practicing. The subjects, especially English, really bother us. Do you think you could help us?” “Yes. Oh, definitely yes. I could, and I would,” I replied with surprise. We made the deal with an exchange of smiles.
