21、When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

【1】What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

A. Keep them company.   B. Look at them sadly.

C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.

【2】 We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie__________.

A. would eat anything when hungry

B. felt sorry for her mistake

C. loved playing hide-and-seek

D. disliked the author’s dad

【3】Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?

A. She was treated as a member of the family.

B. She played games with anyone she liked.

C. She was loved by everybody she met.

D. She went everywhere with the family.

22、Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity (湿度).

In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia, which is a life-threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.

In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life-threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.

【1】What keeps our body temperature stable?

A. Culture and technologies.

B. The stable earth temperature.

C. Our strong determination.

D. Some kind of in-body system.

【2】What is a Swedish woman mentioned for in the text?

A. Proving the strength of life.

B. Arguing against some conclusion.

C. Showing the limit on humans’ body temperature.

D. Introducing an exceptional case about our body temperature.

【3】Which of the following may cause hyperthermia?

A. Extreme climates.

B. Very cold climates.

C. Controllable infections.

D. Temperatures below 29.4°C.

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

A. Humans’ Temperature Regulating System

B. Changes of Body Temperatures

C. Humans’ Temperature

D. A Ice Trap Survivor

23、   We were driving along a road in the middle of nowhere,a few trees on each side, mountains in the distance. There hadn’t been a town for ages and no road signs except one with “Bungee Jumping, 5km” on it, and an arrow pointing to the left.

We drove on for what seemed much more than five kilometers to me. Then we heard people shouting and laughing. We pulled over and walked to where the noise and people were. In the middle of a bridge were a big group of kids who were all leaning over and looking down into the ditch, shouting and laughing. Another person was hanging from a long piece of elastic rope in the middle of the ditch He was screaming like mad. The other people slowly pulled him up to the bridge. As the guy come to the top he looked scared and shocked, but also very, very happy.

Seeing your sparkling eyes, I knew what you were thinking —“Let’s try it, Daddy!” — But I didn’t want to. “Danger!!! Damage to internal organs! Damage to your eyes! You can get tangled up in the rope! What happens if the rope breaks? Who knows who these people are? Have you any idea how far away from a hospital we are?” But then I remembered how I felt when I used to take a bike without brakes and go down a big hill on it as kid myself. Eventually I bit my tongue before all those rushed out.

I breathed in, closed my eyes, and jumped, thinking I was going forever and wondered when I would stop. But it felt great. I felt sacred and thrilled and alive. Yes, it was dangerous, and thrilling. But the most exciting, thrilling, and wonderful thing of all was seeing your smiling face as I came back up to the bridge.

A．We aimed to find the place of bungee jumping.

B．Kids on the bridge were too frightened to bungee.

C．The man performing the bungee jumping was mad.

24、On a clear night, you can see a sky paced with stars. But you can’t see planets orbiting any of these stars, even with the strongest Earth—based telescopes. Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earth—sized planets orbiting a nearby star called TRAPPIST – 1 in February. They had to rely on indirect evidence to tell them that the planets are there. By doing some math, they figured out the number of planets and the distance of their orbits.

TRAPPIST – 1 is a red dwarf （红矮星）, much smaller than our sun, but larger than Jupiter (木星). If the sun were the size of a basketball, TRAPPIST – 1would be the size of a gold ball. This star is one of our closest neighbors, just like the moon to the earth in space.

When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST – 1,they noticed that every once in a while, it became slightly dim（昏暗）. They decided that a planet must be passing in front of the star, blocking part of the light. This dimming would come and go as the planet orbited the star, passing alternately (交替地) behind and in front of the star regularly.

By making careful observations, astronomers expected to get a rough idea of the planet’s size from the pattern of dimming light. But the light level changed often and not at evenly spaced (均匀间隔的) times. The astronomers had to conclude they were looking at more than one planet! To get additional data, NASA’s spritzer Space Telescope measured TRAPPIST –1’s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days, catching 34 crossings of planets in front of the star. Sorting through the mess of data, the astronomers found that the innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earth days, while the outermost planet takes 20 days. Once you know how long it takes each planet to complete an orbit, you can work out how far it is from the star compared with the other planets.

The TRAPPIST – 1 planets are not alone. So far, astronomers have found more than 3,400 planets that orbit other stars.

【1】How did astronomers know the number of planets orbiting TRAPPIST –1?

A. They used their eyes.   B. They used telescopes.

C. They performed some calculation.   D. They made some guess.

【2】How does the author introduce TRAPPIST – 1 in paragraph 2?

A. By giving examples.   B. By making comparisons.

C. By providing research results.   D. By listing some numbers.

【3】What probably causes the star TRAPPIST – 1 to be slightly dim?

A. The telescope’s failure.   B. The cloud floating around.

C. The star’s moving.   D. The passing planets.

【4】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. The ways to get the information of the planets.

B. The introduction of the planets.

C. The distances of the planets to the star.

D. The astronomers’ effort of exploring TRAPPIST – 1.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60字左右的内容概要。

In recent years, our parenting culture began to send the message that competence was important for building self-esteem. However, that same parenting culture made a big mistake by telling parents that the way to instill competence in their children was to tell them how competent they were. But here's the problem. Children can't be convinced that they are competent

When parents try to convince their children of how competent they are, they often have the exact opposite effect. There is this little thing called reality that children have to confront on a daily basis. When children are faced with the conflict between what their parents had told them about how good they are and what reality is telling them, the result is the bursting of the “You are the best” bubble that their parents blew up for them.

You can, however, do several things to encourage them to develop their own competence. First, you can give them opportunities in their daily lives to gain a sense of competence, for example, dressing, eating, drawing, cooking, and interacting with others. These daily experiences allow your children to develop specific competencies that will be helpful to them as they progress through childhood and into adulthood.

Second, you can be sure that they gain the most value from their experiences. You can direct their focus to the competencies that enabled those successes (e.g., “You were really focused and worked hard on that project.”) rather than some generic praise of the accomplishment itself (e.g., “Good job.!). And you can praise their accomplishments (e.g., “You must feel so good about your project.”).

But you shouldn't just focus on the successes because, as every parent knows, as your children develop, they will experience far more failures than successes as they begin to gain competence. How you react often dictates how they will respond to those failures. if you are positive and supportive, your children will get the message that failure is okay and just a part of life.
