21、Experts are warning about the dangers of “fussy eating” after a 17-year-old living on a diet of chips suffered sight loss. Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only chips and white bread, as well as occasional meat.

The teenager, who cannot be named, saw a doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he was diagnosed(诊断) with vitamin B12 deficiency(缺乏) and took supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.

Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “He used to live on crisps, and not really any fruit or vegetables.” Dr Atan and her workmates rechecked the young man’s vitamin levels and found he was low in B12 as well as some other important vitamins. He was not overweight or underweight, but was badly malnourished(营养不良的). In terms of his sight loss, he met the standard for being considered blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision.” said Dr Atan. “That means he can’t drive and would find it really difficult to read or watch TV.”

Nutritional optic neuropathy(视神经病变)－the condition the young man has－is treatable if diagnosed early. Left too long, however, the damage becomes permanent(永久的).

Dr Atan said cases like this are thankfully uncommon, but that parents should be aware of the possible harm that can be caused by picky eating, and ask for help from experts. And they may offer some practical advice.

【1】What does the underlined word “fussy” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Strict

B．Different

C．Picky

D．Common.

【2】What can we learn about this teenage when he was 14?

A．He took his illness lightly.

B．He was sporty and energetic.

C．He gave up the unhealthy diet.

D．He refused to have a health check.

【3】What did Dr Atan find after rechecking this teenager’s body?

A．He would get well soon.

B．He went blind after living on chips.

C．He had corrected his vitamin B12 deficiency.

D．He was underweight because of a lack of nutrients.

【4】What will the author write in the following paragraphs?

A．The teen’s life after being treated.

B．The shocking findings about eyesight.

C．Some tips from experts on healthy eating.

D．Other cases of blindness caused by unhealthy habits.

22、You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void  in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being values and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.

Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的)  choices rather than reactionary (反动的) ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you will not only feel good about yourself, but also strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

【1】The main purpose of this passage is to   .

A. persuade the readers to make a promise

B. explain to the readers what personal values are

C. inform the readers how to be truly happy

D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices

【2】According to the text, living by your being values, you would .

A. gain a lot of power

B. form positive personality

C. seek all human virtues

D. fill your own needs

【3】The underlined word "void" in Paragraph l means   .

A. a feeling of emptiness

B. an absence of one's mind

C. a break of continuity

D. a state of confusion

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A. Having values are better than being values.

B. A calm person does not choose to complain.

C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.

D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.

23、A newly discovered planet looks just right for life as we know it, according to an international group of astronomers. Orbiting a star about 500 light-years away, the planet called Kepler-186f is about the same size as Earth. It orbits its star at the right distance for liquid water on the surface. That is a necessary condition for life as we know it.

But it is not exactly like Earth, NASA planetary scientist Elisa Quintana said. "It's more of an Earth's cousin. It's not an Earth's twin. It shares the same characteristics as Earth, but their parent stars are very different," said Quintana.

Kepler-186f orbits a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun. But, writing in the journal Science, the astronomers say the planet appears to be a closer relative than   most of the hundreds of others discovered so far. Some are massive gas-covered giants with thick, crushing atmospheres. Others orbit too close to their stars and are too hot for life.

Two planets discovered last year are in the right orbit and might be good candidates for life, Quintana says, but they are a bit bigger than Earth. "For the first time, we can actually say we now have a planet that is both Earth-sized and orbits in its star's habitable zone," she said.

It may be the first time, but it probably is not the last, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology astrophysicist Sara Seager. "We've been waiting decades to understand how common habitable planets might be, and it's looking like they're really common. And this gives us excitement and motivation to take the next step," said Seager.

The next step would be to look for signs of life in the atmospheres of these distant   worlds. That would take a more sophisticated (高端的；复杂的) space telescope. But budget cuts threaten that mission, says University of California at Los Angeles astrophysicist Ben Zuckerman, "In principle, we could do this in the next few decades. But in practice, because there's no money, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen in my lifetime, for example."

Leaving earthbound concerns behind, NASA's Elisa Quintana believes that when the next-generation space telescope is launched, it will find that we are not alone in the universe.

【1】What does the underlined word "That" (Paragraph 1) refer to________

A．The right distance.

B．Liquid water.

C．The right size.

D．A star.

【2】According to Elisa Quintana, Kepler-186f ________

A．is more of an Earth's cousin than an Earth's twin

B．has a lot in common with Earth, including their parent stars

C．is a lot bigger than Earth

D．is smaller and cooler than our sun

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

A．Where there is water, there is life

B．A planet exactly like Earth found

C．Life discovered on Kepler-186f

D．New Earth-size planet found

24、Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”

“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”

Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?

A.She had seven brothers. B.She felt herself a nobody.

C.She was too shy to go to school. D.She did not have any good teachers.

【2】The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

A.work for a school magazine B.run away from her family

C.make a lot of friends D.develop her writing style

【3】According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?

A.Her early years in college. B.Her training in the Workshop.

C.Her feeling of being different. D.Her childhood experience.

【4】What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?

A.It is quite popular among students.

B.It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.

C.It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.

D.It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.

25、Now at some level, all moms and dads know they shouldn’t yell at kids. But if you don’t ________ or talk angrily, how do you discipline (管教)?

For thousands of years, the Inuit have ________an ancient tool: storytelling. Designed to improve kids’ behaviors and sometimes ________save their lives, oral stories are passed down from one ________ to the next. For example, how do you teach kids to ________the ocean? Instead of ________, “Don’t go near the water!” Inuit parents take a unique ________and tell kids a special story about what’s inside the water.

________, those stories seemed to me too scary for little children. And my initial reaction was to ________ them. But my opinion changed after I watched my own daughter’s response to ________tales — and after I learned more about humanity’s complex relationship with storytelling.

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。   

Many years ago at Christmas time I parked my car in the town centre on my way to the post office to post my Christmas cards. It was the last posting day for Christmas cards if they were to be received before Christmas. As I came out of the car park, I saw a young boy on the other side of the road. He was alone and as he was walking he was sobbing. I thought some bigger boys had perhaps bullied（欺凌）him and he was in pain, I had to go to his aid and see if I could help with his big sadness.

He told me that his big sister had bought him a combined Christmas present. It was a mobile phone. I would say it was his first mobile phone. He had been allowed to use it and only the first day he dropped it and cracked the screen! The little guy ate his heart out, tears rolling down his face as he told all this to me. My heart ached for him. It was clear he valued his present and knew that this was a lot of money for his big sister to spend on him. He’d been to a phone shop and they’d told him it would be £80 to get a new screen.

I had to help. However, it was very close to Christmas and I was nearly penniless（身无分文的）and waiting on my next pay cheque. I had some dealings with guys in the mobile phone repair shop, so I took him there. I knew the guys would have helped me out and my intention was to get the screen on the phone fixed and I would pay for it the following week. I knew they would trust me on this. I brought him with me, but the shop was closed! I had the mobile number of one of the guys’ but I couldn’t get in contact with him. What next? What could I do now?
