21、The Memory Box is my fifth book, which begins the story with a simple image of an old lady, Jenny, celebrating her 100 birthday in the care home where she lives. However, instead of being with friends and family, she’s in the company of strangers. Jenny has outlived everybody she has ever loved and it is to her young carer, Candice, that she turns when going through her memory box. As Jenny gently touches the smooth stone, picked up off a faraway beach a lifetime ago, she realizes there is one last journey she must make. She knows it will be painful but if she can talk Candice into accompanying her, she will get through it.

As a writer, I try to keep to a writing routine (常规；惯例) similar to the common working week and am always at my desk by ten at the latest. I know this is not everybody’s idea of an early start. Then, I will go through the various writing work, followed by reading and editing what I wrote the day before. I set myself a target (目标) of 1,000 words a day and, while some days I may achieve many more than this, on other days it’s a right old slog and I can hardly pass the 200 mark.

Many moons ago, I attended a wing group. There, I got the best piece of writing advice from my teacher. She told us to employ the BOSHOK method, which stands for Bum On Seat, Hands On Keyboard. Or in my case, often, Bum On Set, Head On Knees. It basally means, just get on with it. She would always say, “The best advice I can offer to those who want to be writers is a quote from Elmore Leonard, ‘Try not to write the parts people tend to skip (跳过).’ Say it all really.”

【1】What is the first Paragraph mainly about?

A．A review of The Memory Box.

B．An introduction to The Memory Box.

C．The last journey of old lady Jenny.

D．A life story about old lady Jenny.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “a right old slog” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Simple but boring work.

B．Easy and time-saving work.

C．Demanding but interesting work.

D．Challenging and effort-taking work.

【3】Who may be the target readers of this passage?

A．Reading lovers.

B．Young carers.

C．Writing strugglers.

D．Group leaders.

22、Words have great power. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Many of us have been offended by words and know how badly words hurt. 【1】. Trust me if you are not careful in this area, your emotions will soon be controlled by the words of the people around you.

● 【2】.

If someone tells you “You are a fool.”, don’t believe it in your mind. People who hurt you can never really harm you unless you allow yourself to be defined by these words. You are a child of God. You are very valuable in the sight of God, so never allow yourself to feel inferior just by the words of other people.

●   Turn those words into positive thoughts within you.

If there is something wrong with your actions, and others are trying to correct you, it can sometimes hurt your feelings if their words are hurtful. 【3】. Think like this in your mind, “Yes, I’m wrong, but I’ll find out ways to improve. Now I have hope because I know I can change.”

●   Respond softly.

If someone speaks in a hurtful way, take a deep breath first and try to speak softly and kindly in response. 【4】. On the contrary, an angry answer is like a sword, which will bring harm instead of healing.

●   Be silent.

【5】. It’s none of your business. We need not respond to every personal comment from people. It’s not your problem that they keep on hurting you on purpose. So simply leave it.

A．A soft answer turns away anger

B．Don’t worry about what others say

C．It is wise to correct others’ mistake by soft words

D．Never let negative words of others define who you are

E．In that case change those words into positive thoughts

F．If someone is purposefully hurting you for no reason, simply be silent and ignore it

G．Today I will share a few tips on how to handle the effect of negative words spoken to you

23、One of the worst feelings in the world is trying your hardest at something but still fail. In the case of schoolwork, studying for hours and bringing home disappointing grades may make you feel hopeless, but this is far from the truth. If you are dealing with disappointing grades, change your study habits. 【1】.

·Act fast

【2】. Don’t sit around, and definitely don’t ignore them. Instead, admit that you need help and go in search of it soon. The faster you face up to the problem, the faster you can find a solution and see some results.

·【3】

Remember, if you keep doing the same thing all the lime you’ll undoubtedly keep getting the same results. Mix things up by asking for help, whether from a friend or fellow student, your teacher or a private tutor.

• Set up a dedicated workspace

Sitting for hours at the kitchen table trying to ignore your family, or opening your books in front of the television does not make for successful studying. 【4】. Get into the habit of settling into this workspace whenever you have schoolwork to do and soon you’ll be flying through your homework.

• Learn from your mistakes

If you are having trouble with a particular kind of question in the exam papers and homework, don’t be discouraged. 【5】. Request an appointment with your teacher and use this time to discuss your work and get his / her advice as well.

A．Ask for Help

B．Find out the reasons

C．You’d better form a habit

D．You’ll be amazed by the results

E．It is time to figure out exactly where you are going wrong

F．Instead, find a quiet space away from the rest of your family

G．The most important rule about dealing with disappointing grades is to take immediate actions

24、Europeans and other western nations have controlled car industry for over a century. But a newcomer will soon be running after them at their heels. 【1】 It is more than ten years since they did better than America to become the most productive car-makers in the world. China is producing the best cars in the world, and on the way to controlling car production. 【2】

China has gradually built its car-making capabilities during different periods. 【3】 And then its state-owned companies reached arrangements with western makers like General Motors in the 1980s. This produced cars that were far better designed, and soon China’s roads were becoming busy with western clones.

【4】 It still pays relatively low wages and has millions of skilled workers. Skilled workers are important to reduce the costs because they make vehicles that need fewer rebuilds. Some Chinese vehicles in the past ten years haven’t had the design expected by western buyers, so haven’t sold in enough cars in Europe to worry the western makers. 【5】 Chinese-designed and built vehicles are not far behind in their design, and starting to enter European markets. Xpeng is one Chinese start-up that only produces electric vehicles. Having sold well in China, it is making its first moves into Europe via Norway with its G3 model. The next revolution in car industry is replacing petrol vehicles with electric. With all of China’s advantages, it could finally become the home of the best cars in the world.

A．How did this happen?

B．Yet this is changing rapidly.

C．These cars sold well at home and abroad.

D．The Chinese are not exactly newcomers.

E．China also has excellent shipping links, like Shanghai.

F．China is also in a good position to build cars for the right price.

G．It originally began making Soviet-designed vehicles in the 1950s.
