21、Richard Ripley knows he wouldn’t be the man he is today without one special woman.

Richard and his brother, Kevin, were placed into disparate adoptive homes at a young age because of their parents’ deep drug addiction. Kevin was placed with the Ripley family while Richard went to live in four separate homes over the course of three years, suffering abuse along the way. Richard and Kevin only saw each other every few months, but during their visits, Mrs. Ripley grew to care for Richard, too.

“Mrs. Ripley would take us for lunch at McDonald’s as Kevin always liked the food, and when she first noticed the scars all over my body,” Richard wrote. “She immediately made arrangements for me to join their family.” Unfortunately, Mr. Ripley passed away from cancer shortly after Richard joined the family. But even in the face of hardship, Mrs. Ripley never once considered parting with Kevin or Richard.

“Nobody would have blamed her for taking us back. But instead she took us to court and made it permanent,” Richard continued. “She must have been super stressed, but that’s not at all what I remember. I just remember the words that she gave me. It was always: ‘You’re smart.’ And ‘You’re handsome.’ And ‘You survived all bad things because you’re strong.’ There are very few forces as powerful as a mother’s love.”

Thanks to her unfailing love and guidance, Richard grew up to be the strong, successful man she always knew he could be. He joined the Marines (海军陆战队)... and graduated from law school! And, of course, his mom was always there by his side, celebrating right along with him.

Now, as a parent himself, Richard couldn’t be more grateful to the Ripleys for making his life worth living and giving him a future to look forward to.

B．Hard work pays off.

22、According to a recent research in the journal of Energy and Trends, in Beijing, a city with serious smog problems, the 70,000 taxis are going electric vehicles (EVs) which are expanding in availability and efficiency all over the world. All newly registered or replaced vehicles within Belling have to be electric taxis. The cost of the program will be around $ 1.3billion. An electric taxi costs around $ 20,000 in China and they’re extremely popular.

Other Chinese cities, Shenzhen and Taiyuan, announced similar policies. Beijing stands apart as it is a burgeoning global city taking some measures with creativity to leave Western cities in the dust, or smog. China is the world’s biggest electric vehicle market. There are over 600,000 on the road.

Change won’t happen overnight. A lack of charging points in the city causes a functionality problem. In reality though Beijing’s ambitious plan is another chance to onsolidate(使巩固)advances and advantages in the EV market.

EVs currently cost twice as much as gasoline vehicles. Liu Jinliang, Chairman of ride-hailing(网约车) company Caocao, hopes the government will provide allowance to reduce the costs and firmly believes EVs’ bright future. The Chines government also relaxed its regulations on car manufacturing, a move which will actually force China’s manufacturing centres to innovate with EVs.

In fact the number of electric vehicles this policy would produce is amazing. 2015 saw 500,000 electric vehicles sold. China produces 28 million automobiles every year. Suppose production stays at 28 million, including 2.3 million EVs made annually. Who is going to buy all these?

Trade links between the EU and China mean this policy on EV production has a global effect. German manufacturers are the biggest players in the Chinese car markets, and they will obey the same rules as Chinese companies. European car companies are already planning to shift to electrification(电气化). In order to keep access to the Chinese market, companies need to move even faster.

【1】What is the recent research mainly about?

A．Consumer trends.

B．Electric vehicles.

C．Environmental energy.

D．Availability and efficiency.

【2】What does the underlined word “burgeoning” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Deep dividing.

B．Gently enlarging.

C．Fast populating

D．Rapidly growing.

【3】Which of the following best describes Liu Jinliang’s attitude towards EVs?

A．Optimistic.

B．Negative.

C．Cautious.

D．Doubtful

【4】Why are European car companies planning to turn into electrification?

A．To sell more electric cars.

B．To innovate the power cars.

C．To enter the Chinese market

D．To adapt to the world’s development.

23、Hollywood is still seen as a“man's world",but one woman is doing her best to change that.

In May,2017,the US director Sofia Coppola,46,became the second woman in the history of the Cannes Film Festival to win the Best Director Award for her movie The Beguiled.The last time a woman won the award was 56 years ago.

Coppola seemed to be born for a career in film.Her father is Francis Ford Coppola,who directed the famous movie The Godfather.Coppola first appeared as a baby in The Godfather.However,it didn't make her path to success easier.Instead,she grew up in the shadow of her father.People often criticized her for nepotism（裙带关系）and bad acting.She was named the“Worst Supporting Actress（女配角）”and the“Worst New Star”at the 1991 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The Godfather Part III.

After that,she turned to directing—what she really wanted to do all along.Her first film Lick the Star came out in 1998.And Lost in Translation soon won her an Academy Award in 2003.She gradually became famous for films focusing on women."I just think,half the world is females,"she told Elle.She makes films with these females in mind.From the cute Lisbon girls in The Virgin Suicides to the teen queen Marie Antoinette,Coppola brings us into the amazing worlds of girls,rather than simply showing them as stupid,unimportant or useless.

【1】Sofia Coppola directed the following movies except.

A．The Godfather

B．The Beguiled

C．The Virgin Suicides

D．Lick the Star

【2】What do Sofia Coppola's movies usually focus on?

24、Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.

Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.

Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.

Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).

【1】The main idea of the third paragraph is________.

A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money

B. many old people in America are leading a hard life

C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65

D. American social security benefits are not good

【2】From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by________.

A. serious   B. bad

C. disappearing slowly  D. growing fast

【3】From this passage we can know________.

A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful process

B. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing old

C. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is not

D. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not

【4】What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?

A. The public will change their attitude towards old people.

B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities.

C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.

D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.

25、I'm a talker. I________chatting and solve problems by talking them through. This________perfectly well when I have people to talk to. Under lockdown, however, I've only had my________, Peter.

We not only lived, worked and traveled together, we________socialized together, too. Under the first UK lockdown, our constant________began to feel uncomfortable. For the first time in our 10 years together, we needed to be________.

With the warm sun shining and the________wind blowing, my former life as a city girl felt ridiculous. I sat on a rock, feeling no need to________any more.
