21、Why does Haiti so tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage in Haiti since at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has been no more kind.
The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move. Haiti sits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).
Haiti is also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play a role.
“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because of the fault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”
Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge in Haiti, which is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies at Northern Illinois University. Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.
“There is technical knowledge in Haiti, There are trained architects. There are city planners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”
【1】Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?
A.Its overpopulation.
B.Its weak government.
C.Its geographical location.
D.Its weak architecture system.
【2】What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Lacking political will to provide aid.
B.Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.
C.Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.
D.Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.
【3】What’s Schuller’s attitude towards Haiti’s government?
A.Supportive.
B.Critical.
C.Indifferent.
D.Interested.
【4】Which of the following can be a problem according to the last paragraph?
A.Fund and will.
B.Skilled architects.
C.Urban designers.
D.Technology and money.
22、Every family goes through its ups and downs. Most often, the root cause of this situation is the lack of communication. 【1】.
Lack of patience can be one of the biggest factors. If people are not patient with their parents or children or other members, the levels of closeness will be weakened. And it can be quite difficult for a bad-tempered child, or even a bad-tempered parent to deal with the problems.
Lack of time for family members is always a reason leading to the problems. 【2】. In order to survive, everyone must focus all their attention on the work, so they do not have enough time to have a good talk with others.
Lack of discipline is the worst problem in terms of children.【3】. It is known that most parents want to control the children, even their children get older, which can lead to a constantly disharmonious atmosphere within the family.
If the solutions to the problems are OK, all these problems can be easily solved. If lack of patience is one of the problems, obviously the solution is to develop the virtue of patience. You’d better hear out what the children have to say on a certain matter, or even consult them about their significant ideas. 【4】.
It would be natural to see childish behavior of the younger members of a family but it is up to the elders to control the atmosphere and keep it calm.【5】.
The above are some of the most common problems that most families face. So it is important to maintain the best relations with your family, because family is the strongest support system for you.
A.Everyone has a say in each family meeting
B.By doing this, you can avoid a coming quarrel
C.A badly behaved child can ruin the peace of a family
D.the elder should talk things out instead of keeping silent
E.Don’t discuss the family problems when you’re still feeling upset
F.With the development of society, all people face fierce challenge and competition
G.There are some common factors that lead to communication problems in the family
23、A new year 2022, a new plan. 【1】 . Here are several science-based strategies for nailing your New Year’s plans.
Make a cue-based plan
Just as cues tell Broadway stars when to step onto the stage, research has shown that adding a cue to your plan helps you remember when to act. 【2】. If your New Year’s plan is to meditate (冥想) five days each week, a plan like “I’ll meditate on weekdays” would be too vague. But a cue-based plan like “I’ll meditate at the office on weekdays during my lunch break” would fit the bill.
Make it fun
Research has shown that focusing on efficiency can leave you helpless because you’ll ignore an even more important part of your life: whether you enjoy the act of goal pursuit.
【3】. But if you get pleasure from your workouts or study sessions, research has found you’ll persist longer. And in the end, that’s what often matters most to achieving a New Year’s plan.
One way to make pursuing a goal that normally feels like a chore more fun is to combine it with a guilty pleasure. Consider only letting yourself watch your favorite TV show at the gym, so you’ll start looking forward to workouts.
Get a little help from your friends
【4】. If your New Year’s plan is to run a marathon or write a book, you’d be wise to start hanging around friends who’ve made it to the finish line (literally or figuratively) and can show you how it’s done. You’ll pick up a bit just by spending time together because you’ll tend to follow their patterns of behavior.
Strangely enough, there is evidence that coaching friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too.
【5】.
A.It helps improve your self-confidence.
B.It’s easy to make one, but hard to stick to it.
C.Be sure to detail when and where you’ll follow through.
D.If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you’re unlikely to keep at it.
E.Detailed planning can also help you expect and get away from obstacles.
F.Spending time around high achievers can improve your own performance.
G.If you offtrack from your New Year’s resolution, your instinct may be to declare yourself a failure and throw in the towel.
24、People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
【1】Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

【2】What do you think “florists” do?
