21、A recent study has followed the origins, or beginnings of the family of languages that include modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian. The findings show a shared genetic ancestor for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian(跨欧亚的) languages. Such languages had their origin with millet farmers who lived in an area in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago. Millet is a small, round whole grain. It was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers became farmers.
The study’s findings show how the use of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world’s major language families. The research highlights the complex beginnings of modern populations and cultures.
Martine Robbeets, head of the Archaeolinguistic Research Group, said people often think of Japan, Korea and China as powerful nations representing one language, one culture and one people. “All languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed.” Robbeets said. “Accepting that the roots of one’s language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is to surrender identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make.”
The researchers studied data of vocabulary from the 98 languages. They identified a group of words related to agriculture and created a language family tree. The researchers examined data from 255 archaeological sites in China, Japan, Korea and eastern Russia. They studied ancient objects including pottery, stone tools and plant and animal remains. They also included the dating of 269 ancient crop remains from different areas.
The researchers found that farmers in northeastern China eventually grew rice and wheat along with millet. The crops spread along with farming populations to Korea by about 1300 BC and from there to Japan after about 1000 BC. As the ancient farmers moved across northeastern Asia, related languages spread into Siberia, Korea and Japan over thousands of years.
【1】According to the study, what do Transeurasian languages originate from?
A．Ice Age people.
B．Ancient Japanese.
C．Ancient millet farmers.
D．Early hunter-gatherers.
【2】What does the underlined word “surrender” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A．give up
B．maintain
C．take in
D．destroy
【3】How do the researchers conduct their study?
A．By giving examples.
B．By analyzing some statistics.
C．By setting down general rules.
D．By doing an experiment.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Food has a close relationship with culture diversity.
B．A large language family has ancient origins in China.
C．Human activities lead to different language movements.
D．The research on the language family’s beginnings counts.
22、My head was so full of digital noise that it felt like my brain was about to blow a fuse (导火线). I had no greater power of concentration than the lifeless stare of a goldfish. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been compromised by a brain that simply could not sit still.
So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.
My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here’s how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a misbehaving child who needs some rules laid down. Then I decided that I would read for an hour or two at a time without distraction each day. It was something I hadn’t done in years and it was scary how difficult it was.
In his book, The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge to reach for that screen. I took inspiration from Nikki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family’s devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection. For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was like a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times when I normally would reach for my phone. I read on the tram, at the park, in bed at night and on lunch breaks.
By reawakening my love with books I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration, knowledge, reflection and escape. In our modern world, reading is a powerful and beneficial way for us to slow down and be ourselves.
【1】What does the underlined word “compromised” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Rejected.
B．Disturbed.
C．Weakened.
D．Removed.
【2】What was the first thing the author did to achieve the goal?
A．The author went to the bookstore to buy books.
B．The author was determined to make rules for himself.
C．The author was buried in reading for an hour or two at once
D．The author decided to get involved in reading with people around.
【3】What can we infer about the author?
A．The author benefited a lot from reading books.
B．The author got inspiration when he reached for the screen
C．The author would rather read books outdoors than indoors
D．The author was reminded to kill time with electronic devices.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Falling in love with reading
B．Resisting the urge to reach for the screen
C．Going back to the books
D．Escaping from the noisy world in reading
23、A spacecraft carrying Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo touched down safely in the Gobi Desert in Inner Mongolia today (Sept. 17) at 1:34 a.m. EDT (1:34 p.m. Beijing time) today, bringing the historic Shenzhou 12 mission to an end.
Shenzhou 12 launched on June 16 and arrived seven hours later at Tianhe ("Harmony of the Heavens"), the core module of China's Earth-orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 12 crew, commanded by Nie, spent 90 days aboard Tianhe, staying aloft about three times longer than any previous Chinese crewed spaceflight.
Shenzhou 12's return to Earth was a multiday affair. The spacecraft detached from Tianhe Wednesday (Sept. 15) at 8:56 p.m. EDT, according to a statement released by the China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO). Shenzhou 12 then performed a rendezvous test with Tianhe, which was complete by 1:38 a.m. EDT Thursday (Sept. 16), CMSEO officials said in another update.
During their time in orbit, the Shenzhou 12 astronauts snapped some amazing photos of Earth and carried out a variety of scientific experiments. They also performed two spacewalks designed to help get the 54-foot-long (16.6 meters) Tianhe fully up and running and ready for future visits, which will be frequent over the coming months.
For example, China is expected to send the robotic Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft toward Tianhe around Sept. 20. And the next crewed mission to the module, the six-month-long Shenzhou 13, is apparently scheduled to launch in mid-October. (Exact target dates are hard to come by with Chinese missions, because the nation tends not to announce many details of its spaceflight plans in advance.)
【1】In which section can we most possibly read this text on a website?
A．Geography
B．News
C．Health
D．Environment
【2】What is the main purpose of the mission to Tianhe?
A．To repair the parts that went wrong.
B．To carry out two space walks.
C．To send the robotic Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft.
D．To get China's Earth-orbiting space station ready and running.
【3】The underlined part touched down in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A．Landed successfully
B．Launched on time
C．Took off on schedule
D．updated around the clock
【4】According to the passage we know EDT is ______________.
A．12 hours ahead of Beijing time
B．12 hours later than Beijing time
C．8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time
D．8 hours later than Greenwich Mean Time
24、 When Tara Wood brought her daughter to a grocery store to buy the four-year-old some cupcakes, she had no idea that would be a life-changing experience.
As Tara pushed her daughter Norah around the store last month, she passed an old man who was by himself. The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship.
Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife died in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since. The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr. Dan smile since the death of his wife. Knowing that, Tara contacted Mr. Dan, and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other. “She has shown me a depth of love, a depth that I didn’t know existed,” Mr. Dan told the reporter.
Mr. Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah, he hadn’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep. Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless. After meeting Norah, he said he now sleeps soundly. For Mr. Dan’s 82nd birthday on October 20, the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents—and, of course, cupcakes. Mr. Dan will also spend a day around Thanksgiving with Norah and her family. “If you don’t take the time to notice people, you will never know how you can positively impact a life,” Tara Wood said.
【1】Why did Mr. Dan look cold?
A.He felt lonely. B.He disliked little kids.
C.He caught a cold. D.He knew little about Norah.
【2】What does the underlined word “demeanor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Words. B.Body. C.Thoughts. D.Attitude.
【3】How did Tara know more about Mr. Dan?
A.From a news reporter. B.From a stranger.
C.From a shop assistant. D.From his neighbor.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A.Giving makes a real difference. B.It is important to respect each other.
C.We should not judge a person at first sight. D.Good things will happen if one keeps trying.

26、读后续写
The day of my big solo (独唱表演) had finally arrived. Everyone was there: my mom and dad and my little brother. It was a big event: the Spring Fling Choir Concert. My name was on the cover of the program. “Cindy Hamond … Soloist.” I couldn’t believe it. Not that it was my name, but that it wasn’t Renee Swanson’s.
Renee and I had been friends since kindergarten. She was always wherever I was and she was always ahead of me. Dance-class recital needs a big finish? Renee was picked. Softball? She played first base. And the school plays? Renee would have the leads. The only time I ever came in ahead of Renee was at roll call (点名). Hamond comes before Swanson. I count that as a victory.
The choir concert tryout was stressful for me. We waited while Ms. Jenkins called us one at a time into the choir room. When Ms. Jenkins got to the H’s, my heart sped up and my whole body was shaking. When I came back, Renee smiled at me. Ms. Jenkins called her name and Renee calmly followed her. She was still calm and smiling when her tryout was over.
When Ms. Jenkins announced who had made the special choir group, I wasn’t surprised when Renee’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t. “So,” I said under my breath, “what else is new?”
Sudden clapping came. Everyone was looking at me. I’ve missed something here, I thought. Ms. Jenkins looked at me, “Cindy, you will have to start practicing with me. The solos take extra preparation.” Solo? I got the solo? I could hardly believe my ears. I glanced over at Renee. She smiled and gave me the thumbs-up sign.
Now the day had come. we filed onto the stage and took our places. I was front and center. Ms. Jenkins raised her baton (指挥棒) and we began to sing. I could see my parents were smiling at me.
The spotlight circled me in its bright light. Ms. Jenkins nodded and pointed her baton at me, but I froze right there on the spot.
