21、One day when I was 5, my mother scolded me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back a 12-inch part of the lower left-hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have given him a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door broken, creating an opening.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen door, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who had done it. For years, every time I saw a fly in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not teach. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not get mad so easily.

A.They gave him a spanking.
B.They left the screen door unrepaired.
C.They scolded him for what he had done.
D.They told him how expensive it was.
【3】How does the experience benefit the author?
A.He can hide his anger in front of others.
B.He can have better control of himself.
C.He will never go against his parents’ will.
D.He will never make such mistakes in the future.
【4】What is the main idea of this text?
A.Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B.Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C.What is the best way to become a more patient person?
D.Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
22、 The COVID-19 pandemic has affected older people in different degree around the world, causing destructive blows to their physical health, their mental health and their livelihoods. Even before the pandemic, reports showed that many older adults were already more socially isolated and experienced more loneliness than the rest of the population. Coronavirus control measures, including physical distancing and restrictions on social gatherings, increase the risk for social isolation and loneliness, the negative effects of ageism—the discrimination of older adults—enhance existing inequalities and make these challenges even more difficult to overcome.
Ageism tends to paint all older adults as the same, the reality is that older persons are diverse and have several different identities, they are more than their age. Undervaluing the economic contributions of older adults is another form of ageism. In truth, many older people are essential to society and contribute to the economy in terms of both paid work and more importantly, less visible unpaid work such as caregiving and volunteer work. The assumption that all older people are dependent is not only inaccurate but also harmful.
How to protect the rights and dignity of older adults? The right care at the right time in the right place is important Virtual solutions can help older adults get the help they need, in terms of social connections and access to services. But first, we must overcome the “digital divide”. Older adults disproportionately have difficulty accessing technology and their digital literacy tends to be low. We must address the accessibility gap to deliver the support required for them.
In addition, we must remember how much older adults still have to contribute to society. The best solutions encourage social participation and connectedness and raise a sense of belonging. Social connections between generations are vital. There is so much we can learn from each other. There’s more work to be done, but removing our unfair judgment and acknowledging the importance of older adults in our economies and societies is an important start.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Life styles of older adults.
B.Conflicts between generations.
C.Challenges older adults face.
D.Problems of the aging society.
【2】What can be inferred about older adults according to paragraph 2?
A.They are too dependent on their children.
B.They make a great contribution to society.
C.They do more unpaid work than paid one.
D.They gain wide public recognition for their work.
【3】Which of the following can help older adults live a better life according to the author?
A.Bridging generation gap
B.Sharing the latest digital phone
C.Providing high-paying jobs
D.Offering digital training
【4】To help older people, the text suggests people start by ________.
A.stopping discriminating against them
B.building closer connection with them
C.learning more knowledge from them
D.helping them involve in society
23、You are enjoying a nice dream until your alarm suddenly rings. 【1】. Is your clock out of control? No, it’s just winter, making the sun rise later, so it will be twice as hard to crawl out of bed into the cold darkness.
As the days get shorter, our mornings lose that crucial light to wake us up, so waking up gets harder. That means you'll need to put in extra effort to get to work on time. 【2】 .
【3】. Summer or winter, you should aim to go to bed at about the same time every evening and wake up at about the same time every morning. Try to give yourself time for eight hours per night.
Avoid strong light near bedtime. So if you like reading before you close your eyes, try an actual book or an E-ink screen like a Kindle, which doesn't emit the harsh light that phones and tablets do.
Buy a wake-up light. If you still have trouble with dark mornings, it might be time to introduce more light into your room. 【4】.
Give yourself something to look forward to. 【5】. Sure, you might have to get up for work, but you'll want to be awake if you are expecting a delicious breakfast, or a workout that is actually fun.
A.But you just don't want to get out of your warm bed.
B.Stick to a regular schedule.
C.Philips makes some popular lamps that produce natural light during gray winter days.
D.Waking up is easier when you have a good reason to be conscious.
E.Too much light can do harm to your eyes.
F.We have a few tips that might help.

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。
China Needs To Fight Its Massive Food Waste To Combat Climate Change
China is facing a massive food waste crisis. Over 6% of China's total food production is already lost before reaching consumers, and restaurants in Chinese cities throw away an average of a third of food served. Amid the climate crisis and an already vulnerable global food system exposed by the current Covid-19 pandemic, it is vital to tackle food waste in Asia's largest country.
Asia currently drives over half of global food waste, and China is one of the leading countries contributing an enormous amount of discarded food each year. According to a recent report conducted by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and local NGO partners, Chinese cities produce 25% of the world's municipal solid waste - most of which is food. When examining restaurants and school canteens, data showed that one third of all the food served is thrown away.
Why does food waste pose a massive challenge to the planet? Besides global hunger, the way that food waste is managed contributes to driving climate change. Much of the China's food waste ends up in landfills, which contributes significant amounts of methane, a major greenhouse gas that causes global heating. Scientists have found that every kilogram of landfilled solid waste releases its equivalent(同等的)weight of carbon dioxide equivalent(等价物).
With cities contributing to the most food waste in the country, they need to be at the front lines to address the problem. Projects across other cities in Asia can serve as examples on how to reduce food waste, such as Singapore's Lumitics, a tech-forward startup, which has created a food waste tracker that can attach to bins in commercial kitchens. The product aims to help F & B and hospitality businesses analyze the type of food that is being thrown away the most in order to launch a targeted campaign to reduce the amount of discarded food.
But let's be clear - food waste is not a problem in China or Asia alone. With over 10% of annual global carbon emissions coming driven by food waste, the entire world needs to step up its efforts to fight the issue.
