21、   John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.

Luckily, he had strong-willed(意志坚强的), caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe. She told him not to be dependent on(依靠) others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” said she. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”

These words came from a woman less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son—then 15—to Chicago.

Chicago in1933 was not the promised land(乐土、希望之地) that black southerners were looking for, John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But there John could go to school, and there he learned the power of words—as editor of the newspaper and yearbook of Du Stable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.

While others discouraged(阻止、使气馁) him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn(典当) her furniture(家具) to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.

It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary.”

Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $150 million.

【1】Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago? Because ________.

A．John’s father died in his hometown when he was very young

B．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown, while life in Chicago would be better for blacks

C．there were no schools for blacks in their hometown

D．John needed more education and he could go to school there

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Chicago was the promised land for black southerners in 1933.

B．John’s mother worked hard as a writer to make their life better.

C．With the help of his mother, John got the money to start the Negro magazine.

D．Now John is the poorest man in America.

【3】What kind of woman was John’s mother? She was a ________.

A．woman with little school education but knew a lot about life

B．woman who would not do anything for her son

C．strong woman with much knowledge

D．woman who didn’t know how to encourage her son

【4】The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means ________.

A．if you try, you will succeed in the end

B．a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try

C．a try is always followed by failure

D．nothing but a try can help you out of failure

22、Vinisha Umashankar was returning to her home in southern India from school a few years ago when she saw a man throwing away burnt charcoal (木炭) on the side of the street. He worked by ironing people’s clothes for a living-and his main appliance was an old-fashioned iron box, which he filled with hot charcoal that produced a cloud of smoke. Umashankar started thinking about how this was happening across the country, where the ironing vendor (小商贩) is a fixture.

So Umashankar came up with an idea. Instead of using charcoal to heat up the irons, the vendors could use something abundantly available in India: the power of the sun. Over the six months in 2019, when she was just 12 years old, she designed a cart (推车) that had solar panels to power a steam iron. She turned to college-level physics textbooks to get an understanding of how solar panels work. Then, she consulted some engineers about her concept and asked them to assist her in building a model.

And so the Iron-Max was born. It’s a blue-painted cart shaped like an iron box with solar panels fitted on its roof. It’s attached to a bicycle to allow vendors to move through the neighborhood to collect clothes to iron. Five hours of bright sunshine is enough to fully charge and operate the iron for six hours. The energy can be store Dina battery to provide power on cloudy days. The cart also has a coin-operated cellphone and a cellphone charging point where people can pay to recharge their phones to help vendors make extra money.

With her creative invention, Umashankar was invited to give a powerful 5-minute speech at COP26, the UN’s climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, in which she urged world leaders to stop talking and start acting.

Last September, Umashankar was named one of 15 finalists for the Earth shot Prize launched by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. She did not win the prize in her category, “Clean Our Air”, but was praised by judges for being the youngest finalist for the award.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To show an Indian girl’s daily routines.

B．To tell the inspiration for the Iron-Max.

C．To point out an environmental problem.

D．To explain how ironing vendors survive.

【2】What did Vinisha Umashankar do to invent the Iron-Max?

A．She turned to some experts for help.

B．She attended lectures in universities.

C．She used charcoal to heat up the irons.

D．She consulted vendors about her concept.

【3】What does the text say about the solar-powered ironing cart?

A．It is not attached to a bicycle.

B．It fails to work on cloudy days.

C．It can offer additional services.

D．It does ironing fully automatically.

【4】What can we infer about Vinisha Umashankar’s invention?

A．It led to the opening of COP26.

B．It was doubted by most judges.

C．It finally won the Earth shot Prize.

D．It received wide recognition.

23、Making the big decision about choosing a lasting and fulfilling career is a hard thing. Here’s how to decide which carcer you want. especially if you’re unsure of where to start.

Ask family members and friends that you trust. When you don’t know what you want to do, you can note any trends in feedback provided by people who are close to you. 【1】 Ask friends, family members and other people you trust what roles they could picture you doing for a living or companies they hope to see you working at.

【2】 Start by saying you’re considering a career similar to theirs on Linkedln, with just a single question to start, which can improve the odds that you’ll get a specialty analysis.【3】then that can be very helpful to better assess their own sincerity in terms of networking.

Consider your personality and individual preferences. Take a personality assessment, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. If someone is more introverted and they are in an environment that is very outgoing and exposes them to a lot of people, that may be a reason why many people change their career.【4】

Look into a fast-growing industry. Careers in fast-growing industries may give you more opportunities. If you don’t know what field interests you. you can make a short list of fast-growing industries such as health care, sales or software.【5】For instance, your search question. “Top health care careers’” or “Fast-growing salary careers” should produce results that get you closer to picking the career you want.

A．Talk to professionals in various fields.

B．Consider previous jobs and what worked for you.

C．Consider also completing a “mini 360” with those around you.

D．When you can build up some real connection with their company.

E．If you have the option to see their faces talking to you about their job,

F．Choose the career you love and you will never work a day in your life.

G．Trying a focused Google and YouTube search can help you brainstorm.

24、   Calories are a way of keeping track of the body's energy budget. A healthy balance occurs when we put in about as much energy as we lose. If we consistently put more energy into our bodies than we bum, the excess will gradually be stored as fat in our cells, and well gain weight. If we bum off more energy than we replenish, well lose weight. But how many calories do we actually need? Calorie is just the unit we use to measure the energy we take in or bum.

Calories are used in three ways: about 10% enables digestion, about 20% fuels physical activity, and the biggest part, around 70%, supports the basic functions of our organs. That third usage corresponds to your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率), a number of calories you would need to survive if you weren't eating or moving around.

According to the official guidelines, average person requires each day 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men. Those estimates are based on factors like average weight, physical activity and muscle mass. So does that mean everyone should take in around 2000 calories? Not necessarily. If you're doing an energy consuming activity, like cycling the Tour de France, your body could use up to 9000 calories per day Pregnancy requires slightly more calories than usual, and elderly people typically have a slower metabolic rate, energy is burned more gradually, so less is needed.

And one thing you should also know. The calorie counts on nutrition labels measure how much energy the food contains, not how much energy you can actually get out of it, Fibrous (纤维的) foods like celery and whole wheat take more energy to digest, so you'd actually absorb less energy from 100 calorie serving of celery than a 100 calorie serving of potato chips. Not to mention the fact that some foods offer nutrients like protein and vitamins, while others provide far less nutritional value. Eating too many of those foods could leave you overweight and malnourished. And even with the exact same food, different people might not get the same number of calories.

So a calorie is a useful energy measure, but to work out exactly how many of them each of us requires, we need to factor in things like exercise, food type, and our body's ability to process energy.

【1】What is Calorie according to the passage?

A．A unit of measurement to the energy people get or consume.

B．The food people eat and digest.

C．The unit for people to count weight.

D．The way people to measure nutrition.

【2】One can lose weight, if________.

A．less food is eaten than before

B．doing exercise every day

C．more energy is fueled than taken in

D．one keeps energy balanced

【3】Which fact is true according to the passage?

A．The excess of calories will gradually turn into cells.

B．Most of the calories will help people with digestion.

C．When staying still no calorie will be needed.

D．The biggest amount of energy will go to support body organs.

【4】The author may agree that________.

A．potato chips are hard to digest

B．the food with more fibers can help keeping slim

C．the foods with protein and vitamins could leave you overweight and malnourished

D．old people's energy is gradually burning fast

【5】The best title of this passage should be?

A．Calories and Diet

B．Many Factors Contribute to Calorie Count

C．The Relevancy between Calorie Burning and Age

D．Different People, Different Calorie Burning Rate

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ahmad sat at a table in the school cafeteria. The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning.

“I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend，twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought.   “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad? ”Ahmad beamed.   “It’s got a nice ring to it.”

“You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas.   Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign?”

Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons.

“Where should we start?” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you?”   Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister.   “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.”

An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister.   “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All?“ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed   Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience.   The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them.   ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster.
