21、Being a polite airline passenger starts with just a few easy steps.
Help your fellow traveler
While you're loading your carryon bag into the overhead space, offer to lift a fellow passenger's up there, too. Not only is it kind, but it could make the boarding process more efficient for everyone else.
Keep your personal things well, personal
It's important to be mindful of your personal belongings. Avoid hitting other passengers with your bag, as you walk down the aisles(过道), by keeping it in front of you and close to your body. And once you sit down, you should stay there, and make sure you have everything you will need for the flight once you settle in your seat. Reaching over other passengers to access the overhead storage during the flight is uncomfortable for everyone.
Respect your (limited) space
In the narrow space of an airplane, maintaining your personal space will go a long way towards making a smoother ride for everyone. Let the middleseat passenger use the armrests (it's the least you can do), and keep your legs within the width of the chair frame.
Be willing to swap seats with a family
Airlines sometimes reserve certain seats for special passengers or charge extra fees for adjacent(毗连的) ones，making it tough for family members to buy seats together. If you're traveling alone, offer to switch seats so that a family can sit beside each other; it's a kind gesture that they won't forget. But be sure to delay swapping until the plane has reached the safe altitude，as switching seats while everyone is boarding can be an inconvenience for those standing in the walkways.
【1】To be a polite airline passenger, you need to do the following except________________.
A．lending a helping hand to your travelling companion
B．using the armrests to support your arms if you want
C．avoiding reaching over others to open the overhead storage
D．keeping your bag in front of you while walking down the aisles
【2】If a man wants to swap the seat with you, you should__________________.
A．charge extra fees for offering adjacent seats
B．ask him to reserve the seat online in advance
C．offer your seat and stand in the walkways
D．put off swapping unless it is safe enough
【3】Where can you most probably find the text?
A．In a daily newspaper.
B．In a literature book.
C．In an airport guidebook.
D．In an official document.
22、It’s all right to cry. Really. Although it’s often seen as a sign of weakness, crying can be just what the doctor ordered for sorting through chaotic(混乱的)emotions and cheering up.
Our general disapproval of emotional expression and crying specifically stems from childhood, said Stephen Sideroff, an assistant professor. As kids, we’re often taught to restrain(抑制)our emotions. Maybe you remember being teased in elementary school for crying when you were hurt. Many of us learned there were feelings, such as anger or resentment, that we shouldn’t have or express. As children grow into adulthood, we gradually learn to regulate our feelings. So what, you might say? Who cares? But we don’t hold emotions in only our heads, Sideroff said. We store them in our bodies, too.
Holding back your feelings can hurt. “These feelings have energy,” Sideroff explained. “You (then) have to restrain them in different ways.” That interferes with natural processes and creates imbalances since the body’s need is still there. If you’re sad or hurt or angry, you need to find something to resolve that imbalance. If you don’t, you might express those imbalanced feelings in inappropriate ways—like lashing out at(猛烈抨击)your family or friends. Emotional restraint can limit our ability to experience positive feelings, such as joy and love, as well.
Generally, the three types of tears include emotional tears, which result from strong feelings such as joy or sadness. Basal tears lubricate(润滑)your eyes. Reflex tears release when dust or onion oxides annoy your eyes. Humans are the only animals who cry into adulthood and have emotional tears.
People often report feeling better after they cry. That could be because crying forces us to pay attention to what triggered(触发)us and work through our emotions and thoughts. Crying might also help in understanding what’s important to us, especially if we cry over something that upsets us unexpectedly.
【1】Which of the following is Stephen’s idea?
A．Emotions are created by the chaos.
B．Emotions are stored only in our heads.
C．Emotional restraint originates from childhood.
D．Emotional restraint develops positive feelings.
【2】What does the underlined word “resentment” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Joy.
B．Bitterness.
C．Satisfaction.
D．Disappointment.
【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The characteristics of crying.
B．The functions of tears.
C．The classification of tears.
D．The results of crying.
【4】How would the author feel about the outcome of crying?
A．It’s doubtful.
B．It’s unexpected.
C．It’s discouraging.
D．It’s beneficial.
23、Hundreds of millions have rolled up their sleeves for the COVID-19 vaccine, but why haven’t they rolled up their pant legs instead? Why do we get most shots in our arms? What s the science behind why we get most vaccines in our arm? It’s worth noting that most, but not all, vaccines are given in the muscle. Some vaccines are given orally. Others arc given just beneath the skin. But why is the muscle so important, and does location matter?
There are important immune cells in muscle tissue. These immune cells recognize the antigen, a tiny piece of a virus or bacteria introduced by the vaccine that stimulates an immune response. Thus, muscles make an excellent vaccine administration site.
In the ease of the COVID-19 vaccine, the immune cells in the muscle tissue pick up these antigens and present them to the lymph nodes. Injecting the vaccine into muscle tissue keeps the vaccine in a small area, allowing immune cells to sound the alarm to other immune cells and get to work. Once a vaccine is recognized by the immune cells in the muscle, these cells carry the antigen to lymph vessels, which transport the antigen-carrying immune cells into the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes, key components of our immune system, contain more immune cells that recognize the antigens in vaccines and start the immune process of creating antibodies.
Muscle tissue also tends to keep vaccine reactions in the local area. If certain vaccines are injected into fat tissue, the chance of painful redness or swelling increases because fat tissue has poor blood supply, leading to poor absorption of some vaccine components.
Another deciding factor in vaccine administration location is the size of the muscle. Adults and children aged three and older tend to receive vaccines in their upper arm. Younger children receive their vaccines in the middle part of the leg because their arm muscles are smaller and less developed. Convenience and social acceptability should also be considered. As is known, rolling up your sleeve is way easier and more preferred.
All things considered, when it comes to the flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine, for most adults and kids, the arm is the preferred vaccination route.
【1】Why do muscles make a good vaccine administration site?
A．Muscles can easily recognize bacteria.
B．Muscle tissue stimulates immune response.
C．Muscle tissue contains vital immune cells.
D．Muscles can prevent reproduction of viruses.
【2】What can be learned from Paragraph 3?
A．Lymph vessels perform transporting function.
B．Lymph vessels is critical to creating antibodies.
C．Immune cells can automatically sound the alarm.
D．Immune cells give antigens to lymph vessels.
【3】What could be a result of injecting vaccines into fat tissue?
A．Poor blood supply.
B．Better absorption.
C．Local pain.
D．Rapid fat loss.
【4】The passage is most likely taken from ______.
A．an advertisement
B．a journal
C．a speech
D．a novel
24、Don’t Be Afraid to Quit. It Could Help You Win.
The marathoner Molly Seidel has always been a respectable athlete, but her path to the Olympic medal was not smooth.【1】
Treatment changed everything.【2】She was the third American woman in history to win an Olympic medal in the marathon.
In a world that rewards constant toughness, Seidel’s breakthrough was a case study in the value of patience and self care. Despite the general wisdom that the career of a professional athlete should be unbroken upward to peak performance, Seidel stepped away to recover, and came back stronger.
【3】And it’s one far beyond any athletic field. Americans often reject quitting, and stress “determination”—a quality that a lot of books have urged parents to put on children over the last decade.
Seidel’s coach, Jon Green, says she does better in races when she’s not pushed to extremes in practice. “【4】Absolutely she does,” Mr. Green told me. “But at the end of the day we approach everything with balance.【5】”
A．She became a better athlete than ever.
B．Does Molly have determination?
C．When she crossed the finish line, she screamed with joy.

F．We make sure we're taking care of Molly as a person, not just Molly the runner.
G．She quit the 2016 U. S. Olympic trials to check into treatment for depression, and disordered eating.

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。
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
