21、   After my girlfriend, Liz, and I had dated for about a year, and a few years before we got married, she joined me, my parents and my sister's family on a ski trip in Stowe, Vermont. I was in my late 30s, it was the first family vacation I'd been on in years, and it was the first such holiday Liz had ever taken with my relatives.

But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like. To make matters worse, our rented cabin was close to the ski hills but far from anything else. There was no Internet, and the only entertainment was a few board games and a single television.

For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice) and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. Cabin fever set in quickly. At one point, my mom literally fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to wrest it from her hands. My brother-in-law was downing a bottle of port and a bottle of white wine nightly. Amazed, but also alarmed, Liz confronted   me in our bedroom: “What is wrong with your family?” I remember well her crazed laughter as she said it.

Then it snowed, but only at the top of the mountain—a very tall and fearsome peak. We scrambled, drove to the lift, and took it up. But as we climbed higher into quiet, dense cloud, Liz began to look unusual. When I asked her what was wrong, she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill, which is for beginners to ski down. When she said that, she took hold of my arm tightly. “A bunny hill!” The lift let us off at the summit of a professional ski run at the top of the mountain.

My family, without a look back, disappeared down the hill. Liz got off the lift and fell at the first attempt. She took off her skis and promptly got back on the lift, taking it back down to the lodge and the relative safety of a large glass of wine.

Did I say it was her first vacation with my family? It was also her last.

【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A.It was the first time for Liz to attend a family vacation.

B.The ski conditions were very good when they reached Stowe.

C.Maybe it was a bit warm in that January.

D.The author's mother abused his niece for a remote control.

【2】What's the meaning of the sentence underlined in the third paragraph?

A.Someone got a high fever in the cabin in no time.

B.They felt bored and restless for staying in the cabin.

C.They made the cabin warm enough.

D.The life in the cabin was alive and interesting.

【3】Why did Liz look unusual when they climbed higher to go skiing?

A.Because she was too excited to ski.

B.Because everything looked unusual.

C.Because she scrambled and climbed for a long time.

D.Because she was frightened at the thought of skiing there.

【4】What can we infer from the article?

A.Without a look, the author's family didn’t care for Liz.

B.Liz's skiing experience was limited.

C.Liz went down to the hill without trying skiing.

D.The author and Liz broke up after that family vacation.

22、When I was young, I was a terribly shy girl in regular classes. I always sat in the back of the classroom. 【1】 Each Monday I would work my way to the back of the line forming at the diving board to avoid being called to practice the dives.

However, the day of our diving test came finally. My blood ran cold when the teacher announced we would be graded for our final on the most difficult dive—the jackknife (屈体跳水). 【2】 As I watched, each student seemed to perform the challenging dive effortlessly, and shortly I would have to attempt something I’d never even practiced before. Suddenly, I remembered someone telling me that when you picture yourself doing a skill over and over, it’s just as effective as physically practicing that skill. So I watched carefully as each girl jumped at the end of the board. They first added a jump for height and then folded her body in half to reach for her toes. 【3】 I think I was actually in a state of shock, because all of a sudden I saw these four steps as doable (可做的).

【4】 With my heart pounding (剧烈地跳动) and knowing I was going to be embarrassed beyond belief, I walked down the board, jumped once and then again to get height, folded for the toe reach, and stretched out just as I had pictured in my mind, entering the water straight as an arrow.

I received a perfect grade on my dive that day and an A for the course. It was awesome to think that I had just learned my first dive. 【5】 Sometimes, what you need may be just a try!

A．Then it was my turn.

B．So I’d not be called upon to read.

C．Everything went just as I imagined.

D．But I still dreamed to learn to dive like others.

E．Never underestimate your power of achieving something.

F．I felt nervous as the line to the awful diving board shortened.

G．At last, they straightened out like an arrow for entry into the water.

23、Chinese paleontologists have identified at least two new species of massive dinosaurs that once wandered the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwestern China some 130 million years ago.

The newly-revealed bones belonged to a group of long-necked plant-eating dinosaurs that include titanosaurs, according to the study published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports. 【1】. And the notable species like the Patagotitan mayorum estimated to be as long as 37 meters long.

The two dinosaurs revealed in Thursday’s study are the first of their kind of be found in the Turpan-Hami Basin in Xinjiang. Their discovered adds to the evidence that the region hosted rich biodiversity during the Cretaceous period that ended some 66 million years ago, according to the researchers.

Wang Xiaolin, the study’s lead author, told Sixth Tone that they unearthed the fossils between 2008 and 2016 in the vast areas of the Gobi Desert in the Turpan-Hami Basin. 【2】.

“There are just so many pterosaur fossils in the region, even their eggs and embryos,” said Wang, a paleontologist at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleo-anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “【3】. So we didn’t have the time to deal with the dinosaur bones discovered at the same time.”

Although a large desert now, Wang assumed that the basin was once home to a huge lake and rich vegetation, supporting billions of prehistoric animals.

One of the dinosaurs mentioned in the study, although incomplete, is thought to be of a large animal stretching over 20 meters. Researchers have named it Silutitan sinensis, after the ancient Silk Road trade route that crossed Xinjiang.

【4】. The Hamititan is estimated to be at least 17 meters long, researchers said.

“It’s very difficult to find complete fossils of large dinosaurs,” Wang said, explaining that the Gobi Desert’s environment weathers fossils quickly.

Researchers also found several other dinosaur bones in the region, but the specimens offered scant information by which to be identified, according to die study.

A．In some areas, you can find at least one sample per square meter.

B．However, it was previously believed that that species had not spread to East Asia.

C．Titanosaurs were among the largest dinosaurs known to have ever existed on Earth.

D．Meanwhile, the second species has been named Hamititan xinjiangensis, after the city where the dinosaur was discovered.

E．They were then digging fossils of pterosaurs, an extinct winged reptile that coexisted with dinosaurs millions of years ago.

F．I’m convinced that more dinosaur fossils, including footprints, bones or eggs, could be discovered in the province in the future.

24、How to Deal With Stress

Life can be stressful；sometimes you'll have to deal with ongoing stress positively. It is important to recognize the causes. 【1】 .

Get enough sleep.

Give your body the sleep it wants, and your stress levels will take a nosedive （下降）. Sleep is a mechanism by which your body recovers and restores its energy reserves. 【2】, your body will use stress to keep you active and alert in the absence of stored energy.

Exercise regularly.

Targeted exercise goes a long way towards freeing your body of stress hormones and increasing your endorphin（内啡肽） levels. 【3】. By doing so, you can keep your body healthy as a natural outlet（释放） for your stress. You should notice the difference.

【4】.

Although you could technically consider yoga your daily exercise, practicing the deep stretches and slow body movements will help you to clear your mind. Meditating while practicing gentle yoga will double the relaxation effect to ease your stress.

Learn to relax.

Relaxing your body, by whatever natural means, is a great way to reduce stress. Don't expect your stress to immediately disappear；it can take time. In most cases, try not to fix on the stress itself while you're relaxing. Think of something quiet and peaceful or think of nothing in particular.【5】.

A．Clear your mind

B．Practice yoga and meditation

C．If you're not getting enough sleep

D．If you are feeling much too pressured

E．Take steps to deal with the root of the problem

F．Set aside time during your busy day to exercise

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。

Madison stared through the window and watched a bird fly across the sky. She thought, “How I wish I were a bird, with total freedom and no math class to sit in.” She sighed and wondered how warm it was outside. She thought of her horse, Star. She planned to brush him before riding him after school. Somewhere, someone was saying her name, but it seemed so faraway. The bird continued to float through the air.

“Madison, Madison! Hand in the math homework! “

Madison jumped. She turned back toward the class to find everyone laughing. It turned out that she was daydreaming again.

Madison searched her schoolbag, but found no homework. Mr. Smith was about to criticize her when Doctor Landon came in. He was a veterinarian (兽医) and would deliver a speech as part of the Career Exploration program.

Madison looked at the clock. One more hour and it would be time to go home.

She tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important math and science were and how he struggled with them when he was a kid. She glanced out the window and tried to remember where she left her riding boots. Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying. Then a word caught her attention. Horse. Was he talking about horses? She paid attention as he spoke.

“I love being a veterinarian because I love animals, especially horses and I enjoy freedom. Specializing on horses gave me the chance to be outside all day, moving from place to place in our community. Do any of you have horses?”

Madison raised her hand, “I do! I have a big Quarter Horse.”

“Where do you live?” the doctor asked.

“On Anderson road.”

“Is your horse Star?”

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答

“Yes,” Madison answered, surprised he knew that.
