21、English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages，English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.

However，let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.

We take English for granted.But when we.explore its paradoxes（探讨它的矛盾），we find that quicksand can work slowly，boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don't finger，grocers don't grocers，and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of.booth be teeth？One goose，two geese-so one moose，two meese？

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？

English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects（反映）the creativity of hu-

man beings.That's why，when stars are out，they are visible（能看见的）；but when the lights are out，they are invisible.And why，when I wind up my watch，I start it；but when I wind up this essay，I end it.

【1】According to the passage____.

A．sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

【4】The underlined words"wind up"in the last paragraph probably mean"_______".

A．blow

B．roll up

C．get hurt

D．finish

【5】Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are______.

A．clever

B．crazy

C．lazy

D．dull

22、Many plastic products we use every day are not able to be recycled. Americans alone throw away 42 million tons of single-use plastics each year, and only 9 percent of that waste can be turned into something else. The rest ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), or worse, the ocean.

ByFusion, founded in 2017 in Los Angeles, California, has worked out a way to put all that plastic waste to good use. It uses machines called Blockers to shape all kinds of plastics, even non-recyclables, into standard building blocks called ByBlocks that can be used to build anything. Now, BvFusion has built a pavilion (亭子) for a school with blocks made from locally collected plastics.

“Plastic was not invented to be thrown away,” the company states on their website. “Plastic is strong, flexible, and built to last. This is why plastic isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t have a good plan for its future, so now it is packed into landfills, burned at the edges of towns sending poisonous smoke into the air, and there are continents of it floating at sea killing precious wildlife.”

ByBlocks require no glues and are 10 pounds lighter than traditional blocks, making construction work quicker and easier, which means no special labor is needed. They won’t break into pieces like concrete blocks would. They also create zero waste to make — 1 ton of plastic equals 1 ton of ByBlocks.

After years of experiments that cost much, the company has installed (安装) a full production unit in L. A., where it can process 450 tons of plastic per year, and there are 12 more Blockers arriving in U. S. cities soon. The company has set a goal to recycle 100 million tons of plastic waste by 2030, and it thinks the number is within reach. “If we get up to 9, 000 Blocker systems installed around the world by 2025, we’ll make it, ” said founder Heidi Kujawa.

【1】Why was ByFusion set up?

A．To build nature-friendly landfills.

B．To produce recyclable plastics.

C．To make green building materials.

D．To recycle various building waste.

【2】What is ByFusion’s view about plastic?

A．Used plastic isn’t taken seriously.

B．It isn’t good for human beings.

C．Too much plastic has been made.

D．The demand for it is increasing.

【3】What do we know about the actual use of ByBlocks?

A．It needs promoting.

B．It’s cost-effective.

C．It’s time-consuming.

D．It asks for strict steps.

【4】What can make ByFusion hit its 100-million-ton goal?

A．Its ByBlocks are recognized.

B．Its expenses are guaranteed

C．Its techniques develop fast.

D．Its equipment is used widely.

24、Biological age might help determine your quality of life as you get older, since your cells and organs have ages varying from your regular age. Many aging-research scientists believe that knowing your biological age could help you postpone or avoid age-related illnesses, and better predict an individual’s lifespan (寿命). Other scientists argue that there’s no standard way to measure biological age. At the center of the debate are hopes that people can extend their lives by changing their behaviors.

Since everybody’s genes (基因) are different, tracking your biological age could help determine your most helpful habits and customize them. People also can attempt to lower their biological age through ways of effectively managing stress.

Dr. Sinclair at Harvard is developing a biological-age test based on chemical changes on DNA. He plans to launch it with a new company called Tally Health. Though criticized by other scientists for hyping the results of some of his findings for his business, he says that he doesn’t overstate his research findings.

Inside Tracker, a personalized-nutrition company founded by scientists, calculates biological age by having users take blood tests and analyzing the samples for marks of diseases. Those who test as older than their years get recommendations to adjust diet, exercise and medicine.

Many other health startups are offering testing that claims to calculate biological age, sometimes with little scientific backing, and designing medicine aimed at boosting youthfulness.

Stephen Robert tested himself earlier this year with an at-home blood test as an effort to improve his health at age 51. “I drink and smoke,” he says, so he expected his biological age to be a lot older than his calendar age. He says he was shocked when test results reported his biological age was 24.

Gordan Lauc, professor of biochemistry and chief scientific officer of GlycanAge, says the results make sense given Mr. Robert’s genetics—longevity runs in his family and lifestyle, which is likely less stressful.

【1】What can people do after knowing their biological ages?

A．Improve their calendar ages to prevent diseases.

B．Determine ways to effectively manage stress.

C．Get personalized-nutrition plan to improve health.

D．Lengthen their lives by changing their conduct.

【2】Why did some scientists criticize Dr. Sinclair?

A．He overstated his findings to make a profit.

B．His scientific research was far from mature.

C．His company let out people’s biological age.

D．Biological-age test did harm to people’s health.

【3】What accounts for Stephen’s young biological age according to Gordan?

A．He manages stress in life successfully.

B．He had good nutrition at his childhood.

C．His family has a long-life tradition.

D．He has improved his biological life.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Understand Your Calendar Life and Stay Healthy

B．Meet Your Biological Age and Extend Your Life

C．Improve Your Biological Age with Good Habits

D．Employ Biological Technology to Start Business

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was born two months premature with underdeveloped lungs and a heart condition. The doctors told my mom that I wouldn’t livelong enough to make it out of the hospital. As the days went by, the doctors couldn’t believe I was still alive. They told my mom I was making a miracle. With each new day came new struggles and challenges, but also more hope. Everybody began to see that I was a fighter. After about a month, I exceeded their expectations and was released from the hospital two days later.

Then, one day I began crying uncontrollably and turned purple. My mom took me to the emergency room. There was a blockage in one of my heart valves (瓣膜) and I would need heart surgery immediately to release it. The surgery took four and a half hours, but the doctors were able to clear the valve completely. I was strong enough to go home after just two weeks. Everybody agreed that I was he exception to the rule.

Years went by and I was pretty much just like every other kid. I did still have to take medicine for ny heart every day and go to the doctor once a month for checkups. When I was in eighth grade, things started to go downhill. I had a constant pain in my chest. The doctors performed test after test trying to determine what was causing the pain. When I was just about to say “Enough”, they finally found the problem. It wasn’t good and I’d have to start a treatment program for it right away. That meant missing quite a few days of school though.

I was out of school for about a month when my teacher called and told my mom there was no way I’d be able to catch up on all the work in order to graduate with my class.
