21、A very dear friend has been experiencing numerous challenges these past few months. She mentioned how it sometimes felt like she was hanging on by a thread with no quick fix in sight.

It reminded me that the monarch caterpillar（毛虫）that I cared for just changed into a butterfly that morning. After eating on milkweed leaves from our garden,the hungry caterpillar bund a comfortable spot at the top of the ner butterfly enclosure and spun a silken thread to attach itself there. The caterpillar hung upside-down in a J shape for a day or so. Then, in less than a-few hours of struggling, the caterpillar was a beautiful green butterfly!

All the research I've done indicates that the change into a butterfly should take between 10-12 days. I can only imagine what is going on there, but I'm sure it's a huge struggle and reforming. Haven't we all been doing the same to some degree lately? These especially challenging times are presenting us with the unavoidable experiences needed for our inner selves to use as food for growth. Not easy? You bet! Worth it? Yes!

Many thanks to our local library tor the loan of the butterfly enclosure. They raised and released painted butterflies as part of their children's summer reading program this year. I had no idea that planting a few milkweed plants would lead to such a fascinating study of caterpillars and butterflies. The caterpillar has kept me mindfully occupied and fascinated during our recent COVID-19 self-isolation.

Hanging on by a thread as we transform, keep in mind the beautiful wings we are growing. We are all somewhere in the midst of that unbelievable process. Trust the process. Have faith. Know that you are becoming the most beautiful person that you can be.

【1】What did the author's friend and the caterpillar have in common?

A．They lived comfortably.

B．They suffered from hunger.

C．They experienced a hard situation.

D．They were well cared by the author.

【2】What does the author say about the struggle concerning us in paragraph 3?

A．It is necessary.

B．It is dangerous.

C．It is avoidable.

D．It is meaningless.

【3】What does the author mainly want to encourage us to do in the last paragraph?

A．Help friends in need timely.

B．Learn from other creatures sincerely.

C．Join in children's experimental projects

D．Face the hardships of life optimistically.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Life Is Hanging on by a Thread

B．Reinvent Yourself as a Butterfly

C．Avoid Challenging Experiences

D．We Are Fascinated by Butterflies

22、There’s always a lot to do to get the kids ready to go back to school, let alone trying to get them excited about the idea. To help your kids get ready, save a few dollars in the process and have some fun with them in the dying days of summer, try a few of these fun filled activities.

*********************************************************************************

UP-CYCLING

Every student needs school supplies. But a lot of what they need is already littering around your house. If you don’t have reusable school supplies at home, you might have the materials to make them.

Try up-cycling with your kids and change old or useless products into new ones.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

●Sew blue jeans into pencil cases.

●Turn shoeboxes into arts storage boxes.

●Use an old belt as a books belt.

●Wrap book covers in old posters.

Up-cycling is a great way to develop artistic talent and creative thinking in your children.

*********************************************************************************

PLAN TO PACK AHEAD

Most teachers and schools reward green behavior among students. To help your kids stay green, be sure to have these items on hand so you can pack them litter-less lunches.

Here’s what you need:

●Reusable lunch containers.

●A firm lunchbox and thermos（水瓶）.

●Reusable napkins（餐巾）.

*********************************************************************************

MAP IT OUT

Across the country, kids are thinking about how they’ll get to school. Do I walk? Do I bike? Either way, avoid driving them if at all possible.

Kids need to stay active and want to connect with other local kids on the way to school. Help your children map out their route or get them involved with a local walking school bus. A walking school bus is groups of children walking to school with one or more adults.

*********************************************************************************

23、Less than one year after France imposed a nationwide ban on smoking in most public places, it will, from Jan. 1, 2009, extend the ban to bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs—and the most cherished of all: cafés.

Ireland and Italy show that countries with long-standing smoking traditions may introduce bans fairly smoothly, as they did in 2004 and 2005. In Germany, where regulations vary locally, Berlin will join France on Jan 1. But fierce critics of the new law in France say it all but destroys the café's basic function: to serve as the socio-economic glue of society.

Cécile Perez, owner of La Fronde, a typical Parisian neighborhood café, said: “In the morning, street cleaners in bright green uniforms sip coffee next to well-dressed businessmen; at lunch hour, working-class types rub shoulders with those of the latest fashion at the bar, while couples of all ages rub noses over salads; during the after-work rush, there is a steady soundtrack of clinking glasses combined with conversation; the constant, no matter what time of day, is the smoke that drifts through the air in curls and clouds, seemingly unnoticed.”

“Our motto in France is: liberty, equality, fraternity,” Olivier Seconda, a regular at the café, said. “The café is the place that represents that. You’re free to smoke, everyone pays the same price for a beer and different kinds of people talk with one another. This new law goes against that.”

Seconda expects the ban to be felt even more strongly in small villages far from Paris, where the café is often the only means of social activity. “People already miss the space that allows people of all walks of life to share something—even if it is sometimes no more than a few words and the smoke floating between them.”

【1】Cécile Perez mentions the curls and clouds of smoke drifting through the air to ______.

A．describe a friendly atmosphere

B．show the beauty of his own café

C．support the ban on smoking

D．remind us of something unnoticed

【2】Olivier Seconda implies that ______.

A．the café provides people with enough liberty, equality, and fraternity

B．people, regardless of their social classes, enjoy equal rights in a café

C．the new ban on café smoking should be put in effect only in villages

D．people would not find fun in a café without smoking a cigarette

【3】The passage is written to _______.

A．show the writer’s personal opinion against a new law

B．provide information for law-makers to pass a new law

C．tell why some people are unhappy about smoking ban in cafés

D．compare attitudes to a law, held by people from different countries

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。

6-year-old Jesse was playing in the field when he suffered an electric shock, leaving him unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital. When he opened his eyes, he found both his arms gone.

His mother was in deep concern. She was aware that Jesse couldn't depend on his parents all his life. So she guided Jesse to learn to use his feet. To her delight, within three months, Jesse could do many things with his feet, even write.

It was time for Jesse to start school. On the first day, he was laughed at by other kids. Then Jesse surprised everyone that he wrote much more beautifully than the normal kids.

While walking, Jesse often fell because it was hard for him to keep balance without arms. He practiced again and again until he made it to walk steadily. Then he could even run fast.

At the age of 10, Jesse became an athlete of the disabled track and field team of his city. He practiced very hard. At the age of 14, he was able to run 400 meters in 56 seconds. And it was hoped that he could compete for the national champion. However, the international track and field rules suddenly changed and his event was cancelled.

No one’s life is easy, especially for the disabled. But Jesse didn’t lose heart. He changed to swimming. He was talented and became a professional member at the age of 17 with the hope of winning the qualification of entering the Olympic Games. But just before the competition, his old injury returned and he only got the sixth place, which meant he could go no further in sports. He was at a great loss, wondering where his future was.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

His father encouraged him to go back to high school for academic study after so many years of sports life.
