21、 In ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. It’s difficult to imagine the dramatic impact those satellites, orbiting the Earth, have on our daily lives.
When you unlock one of Hellobike’s bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users’ riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Beidou’s global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.
However, the BDS doesn’t just work one way. As the country’s largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this exclusive function isn’t designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidou’s messaging capacity has been increased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.
As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application of Beidou is merely limited by imagination.”
【1】What can we know about Beidou from the passage?
A.It’s able to provide worldwide coverage for navigation.
B.Its last satellite was launched in Xichang on July 31.
C.It’s one of the five global navigation networks.
D.It’s jointly developed by Chinese and foreign engineers.
【2】Why is Hellobike mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To present the benefits and limitations of the BDS.
B.To highlight the high positioning accuracy of the BDS.
C.To show how the BDS makes people’s daily lives easier.
D.To explain the unique way in which the BDS works.
【3】What is the function of Beidou’s two-way communication system?
A.To collect instant feedback sent by global users.
B.To allow users to chat online more conveniently.
C.To make communication more fun and efficient.
D.To help people when communication signals are weak.
【4】What do Sun Jiadong’s words in the last paragraph imply?
A.Beidou stimulates users’ imagination. B.Beidou may be more helpful than we know.
C.Beidou is currently limited in application. D.Beidou needs to be further perfected.
22、“If you’re so smart, how come you aren’t happy?”That’s Naval Ravikant’s challenge to everyone bathing in the suffering of-their own intelligence. 【1】. Here are some of the most common reasons why smart people fail to be happy.
Smart people always overthink. Some 50%-75% of adults overthink, and it affects our productivity, creativity, energy, sleep, and even our eating habits. 【2】Worst of all, we think overthinking is smart, but it’s dangerous.
【3】 . When you have high expectation for yourself, you become too outcome- focused. If nothing less than the best will do, you’ll have a hard time appreciating anything in your life, from your achievements at work to your relationships to your hobbies. You’ll also constantly criticize yourself for your mistakes. Intelligent people know how much they don’t know. This only gets worse when they learn more.
Smart people tend to stay away from others. Humans are social beings. No one wants to always be alone forever, and while studies show that intelligent people usually enjoy less social interaction than others, it does not mean they don’t require connections with people at all. 【4】
For many people, highly intellectual (深奥的) topics are too exciting most of the time, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know what it’s like to be an outsider. Everyone experiences that at some point in their life. Therefore, smart people’s case of lone wolf syndrome (独狼综合症)is overblown usually． 【5】But there’s always common ground to be found if you look for it, and for smart people, this is actually quite easy to do.
A．Smart people usually expect too much.
B．People consider intelligent ones as aliens.
C．It also prevents our learning and makes us age faster.
D．That is often the case for many of those smart people.
E．Smart people sometimes have higher expectations for others.
F．They often feel misunderstood looking for fewer connections.
G．They make themselves more of an outsider than they actually are.

24、 Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July．The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was, said the Judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do．“Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地)．“And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．“Fee, pack your things．We’ll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．“I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．“It would kill him to see me．I know him so well—his pride, his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants．We’ve got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us?”
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away．But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．“Yes, Paddy, do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”
【1】 Paddy cried because he thought ___________.
A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
【2】 The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.
A． Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B． Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

D． Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

B． The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.
C． The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.
D． Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.

C． Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.

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。
Jules had just spent another six hours helping her grandmother picking peaches. After school summer holiday began, she was sent to this farmland at her grandma's house, picking and canning fruit for two weeks. She used to spend her holidays and have lots of fun here every year, enjoying horse-riding, looking at animals at daytime and appreciating fireflies (萤火虫)at night. But since her grandpa died six years earlier, Jules hadn't visited the farm.
Now Jules opened her phone again, praying for bars (手机信号),but there was nothing. She felt frustrated and bored. Looking out of the window, Jules saw nothing but the large farmland and the small forest between Grandma and her neighbor's farmland. She felt even more bored.
The large corn field outside was rent by a fat and ugly-looking man now. After Grandpa died, Grandma just worked in her garden and mainly grew vegetables and fruits. When she needed other food, she just bought it in town twice a month. Jules had asked Grandma if she felt lonely here, the answer was NO. "I've got all I need right here. Your grandpa is still with me, in my heart, and this land is all I have ever known," Grandma said.
After Grandma went to bed at night, Jules decided to read her novel a bit before bed. Two pages into her reading, Jules heard something outside the window. Walking close to the window, Jules looked out and found a boy about her age standing down there in the moonlight. With a flashlight under his face, the boy was holding his finger over his lips. He motioned (示意)for Jules to come outside. She shook her head, feeling slightly nervous, but the boy just kept motioning. Then, Jules decided that anything would be more interesting than bed and she got out of the house quietly.
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。
Once Jules was outside, she recognized the boy.
