21、I grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. 【1】

K2(乔戈里峰)is called “death mountain”. You may hear sad stories: For every four people who reach the top, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. 【2】

But that changed after a training exploration to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’s massive face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.

【3】 I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid. At the base camp, I felt cam and prepared. There were doubts-I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7, 000 meters up, my safety guide suffered serious back pain. We waited for 36 hours before he got better, and we decided to continue. In total, it took about 3 days to reach the top.

For many climbers, getting to the top of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. 【4】 Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance(耐力).

The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your tums and movements smooth with confidence. No one had attempted it before, so it was a relief(宽慰)to cross it. 【5】 When I eventually skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, emotionally and physically tired out.

I’m so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.

A．Have you ever tried extreme sports?

B．It turned out that this was good practice.

C．But for me, it was where the real challenge began.

D．Even the best ski mountaineer thought it impossible.

E．In total, going down the mountain took about 7 hours.

F．Why attempt such an impressive and difficult achievement?

G．If you overcome fears and difficulties, you will surely make it to the top.

22、   What’s the point of dining out when we can have whatever meal we want delivered to our homes as we watch movies on our giant flat screen TVs? According to statistics from Technomic, 86% of consumers are using off-premise (营业场所外的) channels at least once a month, and a third of consumers are using it more than they did a year ago.

Most restaurant companies are chasing these trends to keep up with quickly changing consumer demands. Fazoli’s has spent the past two years investing in its drive-through, takeaway, and delivery business, and has launched a new app aimed at making takeaway orders easier. These efforts have paid off so far — off-premise sales are up 18.5% over the last year, said Jennifer Crawford, director of off-premise sales at Fazoli’s.

But, she notes that sales are not the only benefit. “The off-premise channel is a great opportunity to connect with a new consumer group,” Crawford said. “Many of our off-premise guests have not dined in a Fazoli’s or experienced our menu. With options like third-party delivery and online ordering, we are able to tap into potential new guests.”

Sales growth and new customer potential are great rewards, to be sure. But that doesn’t mean carrying out off-premise channels comes without challenges. A big one is the lack of control and maintaining the guest relationship. “When a guest dines in, we can provide a level of service that improves the consumer dining experience. The lack of control can extend into the digital experience because sometimes orders are not processed properly in the third-party software due to the drop-down (下拉式的) menus and default (默认) orders.” she said. “Besides, it is difficult to manage during peak hours and maintaining food quality and integrity (完整) during delivery is also tricky with certain dishes.”

Nevertheless, Crawford believes the juice is well worth the squeeze. “Across the industry, dine-in traffic continues to decline or remain flat. If brands are not promoting sales through takeaway and delivery, they are missing out on income.” she said.

【1】Why does Fazoli’s invest in off-premise channels?

A.Because it wants to see the potential of its consumers.

B.Because it wants to keep up with the latest technical changes.

C.Because it wants to survive in the changing consumer landscape.

D.Because it wants to connect with its new consumers.

【2】We can know from Paragraph 4 that _______.

A.third-party apps may not offer as good an experience of ordering as restaurants

B.third-party apps may get out of control when used incorrectly

C.It makes no difference to restaurants whether it is the peak time or not.

D.food quality and integrity can be guaranteed during delivery.

【3】What is Crawford’s attitude towards off-premise channels?

A.Cautious B.Doubtful C.Favorable D.Worried

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.Off-premise channels still need improving.

B.Restaurants are having difficulty in attracting their consumers.

C.Off-premise channels create more difficulties than opportunities.

D.Restaurants are adapting to the rise of takeaway using off-premise channels.

23、   It is often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box. 【1】.

Structure students’ learning plan to meet their needs. 【2】, you are absolutely wrong. As teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student. Determine if they have trouble sitting still. Examine how they learn best — are they auditory（听觉的）learners, visual learners, or physical learners? Use this knowledge to structure your lesson plans.

Get involved in your students’ learning. When the students are studying or taking part in an educational activity, join in. It allows you to model study habits and the feeling of joy when learning something new. 【3】, they will assume that the activity is simply not worth their time.

Create hands-on learning opportunities. Students remember information better when both their hands and brains are busy. 【4】. For example, you can group students by interests and provide them with activities that let them explore a topic in a way that engages them. The active, auditory and visual learners will benefit much in the process.

【5】. When students are placed in charge of their own learning and the learning of others, they are encouraged to learn the material as thoroughly as possible. So have students work in pairs or small groups. Instead of asking you for help, they will rely on each other to solve any problem they meet with.

A.If they suspect that you do not enjoy the activity

B.If you assume all students learn in the same way

C.Provide students with opportunities to teach each other

D.Encourage students to take charge of their learning time

E.Catch their attention with individualized and creative methods

F.If they don’t find any pleasure while getting involved in the activity

G.This is accomplished by activities that require students to talk, listen, and move

24、   Everyone faces difficulties from time to time. It's a natural part of the cycle of life. You cannot change events or their outcome. You can, however, choose the emotion and meaning you attach to them. Here are a couple of questions to ask yourself to stay positive when facing difficulties.

Am I Still Breathing?

【1】. If you find yourself highly stressed out, take 10 minutes, find a quiet space, and just breathe deeply. One of the keys to staying positive is to be relaxed, and making sure you're breathing correctly is the best way to start.

What Is In My Control?

Assess your situation honestly, and look for those things you can control. 【2】. This will help you to feel more centered, more focused, and assist you in being able to face the challenge.

What Is The Most Important Thing I Can Do Right Now?

Focusing on and doing the best thing you can do right now when in the midst of difficult times helps center you and relax your nervous system. It also increases your confidence in yourself that you can weather this storm. 【3】.

What Can I Learn From This?

【4】. As crazy as it sounds, if we can see even the smallest lesson, the smallest purpose in the trial we're facing, it gives it positive value. It also gives us an outcome to move towards, whether it's improved health, more independence in finances, or fixing a broken relationship. 【5】. Shifting your belief from "Why me?" to "What can I learn from this?" turns the challenge from just a random happenstance of bad luck into a problem to be solved.

A．Weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

B．Let go of those you can't.

C．With every difficulty comes a lesson.

D．If you are, you live to fight another day.

E．Suffering without learning something leads to a feeling of helplessness.

F．Maintaining your physical state is a key to maintaining your mental and emotional states.

G．Progress towards solving a difficult situation, no matter how small, will increase your self-esteem(自尊).

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语段续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。

I think about him every time I pass by a pink magnolia (木兰) tree in bloom (开花). My Irish Grandpa, tall and thin, bursting with energy and laughter, held a special place in my heart. He taught me that some challenges were worthwhile to take.

He lived across the street with Grandma, and their home was open to us whenever we ran over to visit. In their garden, flowers, vegetables—whatever he planted grew well. From early spring through late autumn, the backyard exploded with colors. On the side of the yard grew a high magnolia tree. Besides being beautiful, it was perfect for climbing, but I didn’t dare to!

I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get back down, or that I would get stuck high up in the tree. So I never tried. But I wanted to climb up the tree, especially when watching my friends climb it up and overlook the neighborhood. I wanted to conquer the tree and sit on top of the world too. And Grandpa knew it. He tried convincing me and even offered to climb up the tree with me—which always made me laugh! How could my Grandpa with gray hair know how to climb?

One early spring morning, Grandpa was standing in the doorway waiting for me when Grandma and Mom were busy in the kitchen. “Come over here”, he said excitedly, “The tree is blooming lollipops (棒棒糖) instead of flowers! ”

“What?” I exclaimed and ran across to the backyard to see the amazing sight. “No pink magnolia flowers this year,” he said sadly as he shook his head. “But this is the first year ever for our tree to bloom lollipops!” He glanced at me. “Do you think you could climb up the tree—just to the lowest branch—and gather one or two? Then throw them down to me. I would love a lollipop!”

Paragraph 1:

I was staring in amazement.
