21、The Man with the Golden Arm
When James Harrison was 14, he was required to go through a blood transfusion. Ever since, despite the transfusion saving his life, he's hated needles to go in his arm. Yet every two weeks, without fail, James offers his right arm and waits for the needles.
At 74, James is the world's most prolific (多产的) blood donor. He earned the Guinness World Record in 2003 and he's kept on giving. This year, James is on track to make his 1000th donation—and he has no plans to stop.
James's blood has a particular use: it saves women's babies.
According to the biomedical company CSL, which turns the blood donations into hospital products. James's donations of anti-D plasma (血浆) have helped up to 2.2 million babies since 1967. The product made from James's blood is given to mothers with Rb negative blood types, who arc carrying Rh positive babies.
Most donors who donate anti-D have negative blood types and are stimulated to produce antibodies with injections: James produces the antibodies himself. When he had the blood transfusion aged 14, he was mistakenly given positive blood. As a result, he produces so many antibodies that if he were to receive positive blood again he could die. But it also means he's an anti-D goldmine. So, every two weeks, James makes his way to the blood donation centre. He quite enjoys the trip.
James became a blood donor two days after he turned 18. All his life he's volunteered for Meals on Wheels. His father had donated before him, and when he saw the ad for a blood donation drive, he jumped at the chance. In 1966, he was called into the office and told that he could save Rh negative mothers' babies. Gradually, James was encouraged to come into the hospital more regularly. For the past 30 years, he's donated on average 33 times a year.
Once, at one country music festival where his story was told, four women thanked him for their healthy children. James responded with these words, “my 1000 donations are no more important than somebody's first donation. It costs me nothing—only time. And to be some help to others is a great pleasure.”

22、Hollywood is still seen as a“man's world",but one woman is doing her best to change that.
In May,2017,the US director Sofia Coppola,46,became the second woman in the history of the Cannes Film Festival to win the Best Director Award for her movie The Beguiled.The last time a woman won the award was 56 years ago.
Coppola seemed to be born for a career in film.Her father is Francis Ford Coppola,who directed the famous movie The Godfather.Coppola first appeared as a baby in The Godfather.However,it didn't make her path to success easier.Instead,she grew up in the shadow of her father.People often criticized her for nepotism（裙带关系）and bad acting.She was named the“Worst Supporting Actress（女配角）”and the“Worst New Star”at the 1991 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The Godfather Part III.
After that,she turned to directing—what she really wanted to do all along.Her first film Lick the Star came out in 1998.And Lost in Translation soon won her an Academy Award in 2003.She gradually became famous for films focusing on women."I just think,half the world is females,"she told Elle.She makes films with these females in mind.From the cute Lisbon girls in The Virgin Suicides to the teen queen Marie Antoinette,Coppola brings us into the amazing worlds of girls,rather than simply showing them as stupid,unimportant or useless.
【1】Sofia Coppola directed the following movies except.
A．The Godfather
B．The Beguiled
C．The Virgin Suicides
D．Lick the Star
【2】What do Sofia Coppola's movies usually focus on?

23、Resilience means “doing well in the face of risk or adversity(逆境)”. Being resilient isn’t about avoiding misfortune, but rather how we respond to it. Even if you consider yourself resilient, you may need some guidance in especially hard times. 【1】.
Develop relationships. Connecting with empathetic(用同理心的) and understanding people can remind you that you’re not alone in the midst of difficulties. 【2】. When adversity strikes, a supportive friend with good listening skills can make a big difference. And if you want your friends and family to support your resilience, remember to support theirs too.
【3】. It’s hard to be positive when life isn’t going your way. An optimistic view empowers you to expect that good things will happen to you. Try imagining what you want, rather than worrying about what you fear. Along the way, note any subtle ways in which you start to feel better as you deal with difficult situations.
Move toward your goals. 【4】. Even if it seems like a small accomplishment, it enables you to move toward the things you want to accomplish. Instead of focusing on tasks that seem unachievable, ask yourself, “What’s one thing I know I can accomplish today that helps me move in the direction I want to go?”
Don’t try to ban misfortune completely. 【5】. But our reactions to big problems may be informed partly by the many smaller setbacks we face in daily life. Everyday stress probably helps us learn how to handle bigger challenges and gradually improve our adaptive systems.
A．Find a sense of purpose.
B．Maintain a hopeful outlook.
C．Develop some realistic goals and do something regularly.
D．How you think can play a significant part in how you feel.
E．To build resilience, the experts suggest the following.
F．Set up and maintain a support network before you need it.
G．Resilience usually refers to how we handle serious adversity.
24、It is a scene by now observed by countless parents, from Tokyo to Paris and beyond. In a classroom or on a stage, a small army of very young children are playing the violin with great calmness and surprising musical skill. “Little geniuses!” the observers comment admiringly.
Shinichi Suzuki, born in 1898 in Japan, was the man who made the mini-masters. He opened countless Suzuki studios around the world, teaching music to very young children. His approach to teaching was inspired by the “mother tongue” model. Kids start to speak by listening to grownups talking, and, in the same way, they can learn music by getting exposed to a lot of music. Suzuki’s success had him convinced that playing the violin was not, as the Europeans still insisted, an inborn gift of the great players. Rather, it was a specific, learnable skill.
There was a built-in ambiguity (含混不清) in Suzuki’s approach. On the one hand, he didn’t think that musical prodigies were a special class of children, with some special inborn gift. On the other hand, he believed that kids learned music not by drill and repetition but by exposure. All you had to do was expose them early to the right input. This ambiguity proved fruitful as a public-relations tool — he could point to this or that prodigy who had been trained by his method as proof that it worked. But he could also insist, in the face of all the kids who would never play at the concert-hall level, that the point was not to make a prodigy but to allow the power of music to expand their emotions. No bad result was possible.
Most linguists and psychologists these days tend to think that the direct connection Suzuki saw between learning language and learning music is not much more than an appealing metaphor (暗喻). We are all Mozarts in our native languages — fluent, endlessly inventive, able to produce new sentences effortlessly — but, Mozart aside, even the most hardworking of music students progress on and off. Yet it’s hard to quarrel with Suzuki’s practical idea that small children are surprisingly capable of learning difficult things if they’re motivated by their own curiosity and someone else’s enthusiasm.
【1】What is the purpose of describing the young violin players in Paragraph 1?
A．To show how well children can play.
B．To show how surprised the parents are.
C．To show the success of Suzuki’s teaching.
D．To show the importance of learning the violin.
【2】How did Suzuki teach young kids to play the violin?
A．By organizing them to perform on stage.
B．By getting them listening to violin pieces.
C．By developing their inborn musical talent.
D．By making them practise playing repeatedly.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards Suzuki’s approach?
A．Uncaring.
B．Neutral.
C．Positive.
D．Critical.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Most linguists agree with Suzuki.
B．Kids cannot all learn the violin well.
C．Learning music is similar to learning language.
D．Kids can become music masters by working hard.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been swimming competitively for five years but after such a long time, I was ready to quit. I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions (荣誉奖)”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up.
One summer’s day, the day before a big swim meeting, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meeting tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.”
The next day we arrived at the swim meeting late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted I should be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she expected me to take part.
As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me. All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself.
续写要求：
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。
The match began! I swam harder than I had ever swum before.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me.
