21、By the middle of the second day I know I'm in trouble. In front of me the land stretches up and away towards a distant hill, and into the space, between that hill and me, is crowded one of the most vivid concentrations of color I have ever seen. It starts with the trees. The wet season is the only a few weeks off and almost as if they can smell the coming rains, they have put out their leaves. They are no ordinary green and the dry grasses beneath them are shining with golds, browns, and reds. I want to recreate this scene with watercolors. Although I can make a try at it with words, trying to paint it in my sketch book is another matter altogether. I've already made one attempt: a series of lines in orange and red, with bluish trees placed across them, which now lies face down in the grass beside me.
I've put it there because the last thing I want right now is for someone else to come along and look at it. A young man called Royale walks up the hill. Royale is a sculptor, and, with several other local men, produces pieces of work in the local stone. Recently, and quite suddenly, this work, and that of several other local co-operatives, has acquired an international reputation. I certainly don't want a man capable of such things looking at my own awful painting. So I put my foot, as casually as I can, on the finished one beside me and we resume the conversation started earlier in the day.
I want to talk to Royale about his life here. He, however, is only interested in what I am up to. To begin with, it seems that he considers me a fellow artist, and for a moment I find myself staring into the depths of embarrassment. But when he asks me, "what is painting like?" I realize that this professional artist has never painted anything in his life before. He just wants to go with my colors.
When I signed up for this holiday, I was hoping for an experience like the one I had had four years earlier in Wales. That was my first painting holiday, and I love it. Two things made it great. First was the teacher, a man called Robin, who showed me that what is important about drawing and painting is not the finished article but the process of completing it. The second element of that week was the place. I grew up in places like that, and I connected with it immediately. But it was stupid of me to think that I could reproduce the experience down here, deep in the Southern Hemisphere. Zimbabwe is not a part of me, nor I of it. Trying to draw it for the first time, from a standing start, is like trying to start a conversation in Swahili.
【1】What problem does the writer have at the beginning of her holiday?
A．The weather is not good enough for painting.
B．She's brought the wrong materials with her.
C．There are no animals that she can paint.
D．She can't reproduce the exact color.
【2】The writer hid her work because ________.
A．she thought it would disappoint Royale.
B．she believed Royale painted better
C．it wasn't good enough to sell
D．it was only a quick sketch
【3】What does the writer mean by "what I am up to" in paragraph 3?
A．What I might do.
B．What I am painting.
C．What I will give him.
D．What I can teach him.
【4】What does the writer say about her previous painting holiday?
A．The landscape was more familiar to her.
B．Her technique had improved much faster.
C．She preferred the teacher she had had then.
D．She had been able to complete a number of paintings.
22、In the office of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, there is a picture of Catherine the Great, the legendary Russian Empress. When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel.
The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with China’s top leaders. Germany’s first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe,” Merkel said.
Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctorate (博士学位) in physics and then she worked as a researcher.
However, the life of a scholar couldn’t put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless,” said one of her old friends.
In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s youngest chancellor since the second World War.
Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit in 2005 when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(预算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didn’t give up. She shuttled(穿梭) between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement.
“Strength comes from composure(镇定) and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance,” said Merkel.
【1】Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office?
A. Because Catherine the Great is beautiful.
B. Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too.
C. Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it.
D. Because it is very expensive.
【2】What is the correct order of the following events?
a. became the German Chancellor
b. got a doctorate in physics and then she worked as a researcher
c. join a political party
d. visit China
e. take part in the EU summit
f. as Minister for the Environment
A. bcafde B. cbfdae C. bcfaed D. cbfaed
【3】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Merkel usually is hurry to make a decision when facing difficulties.
B. At the EU summit in 2005, the relationship between French and Britain was in tension.
C. Merkel is a well-known leader all over the world.
D. She is outstanding because of her calmness.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A. An excellent lecturer B. Germany’s iron lady
C. The change of a scholar D. The youngest chancellor
23、Modern smart phones are fast becoming the must-have item. But what’s in store for the next generation of smart phones?
Tired of carrying around that heavy wallet? Soon you won’t need to! The next generation of smart phones will have NFC technology, which lets you pay for things with your smart phones. All you do is enter your credit card information into your phone. Then, when you are in a shop that allows NFC payments, you just wave your phone over a special instrument at the checkout. The purchase is instantly charged to your credit card.
Ever seen someone wearing something and wished you knew where to get it? Soon it will be easy with PicCommerce, new technology that uses image-recognition software. Here’s how it works. If you see something you like, simply take a photo of it with your smart phone. Then, your phone will send the image to a special server, which will respond with information about where you can buy it and how much it will cost.
Sick of your smart phone battery going flat? With so many applications draining (消耗) the battery, the latest phones need to be charged every day. But next generation smart phones will come with built-in chips that can connect to an antenna (天线) in your home. And as long as your phone is within range of the antenna, you will be able to charge your smartphone wirelessly, even if it is in your pocket.
Worried about getting your smart phones wet in the rain? A company called Hz0 has invented WaterBlock, new technology that makes your phone completely waterproof. And it’s so effective that your phone will even work underwater.
Fed up with carrying a heavy phone around? Soon, you will be able to get a PaperPhone! “Flexible phones are the future,” said scientist Roel Vertegaal. So, what are the benefits of flexible phones? Well, it means that instead of carrying your phone in your pocket, you could wear it wrapped around your wrist, for example.
Of course, there is just the problem: with so much new smart phone technology around, you will soon need to buy a new phone!
【1】To pay with your smart phone, you need to ________.

25、Like many people. I’m on an ongoing quest to learn to procrastinate (拖延) less. One of my main issues is when I anticipate that a task is going to feel _________, I don’t want to start it, as I don’t want to induce that pain.
I’ve found that an unlikely but effective way to _________ this is to use ideas from calculus (微积分). This is an important field of mathematics that was developed for the thorough study of things that are continuously _________. To understand something that changes over time, we need to think about not just the quantity at any given moment but the rate at which the quantity is changing, the rate at which that rate is changing and so on.
_________, to understand the trajectory (轨迹) of an airplane moving through the sky, we need to think not just about where it is now but the rate at which it’s moving, otherwise known as speed, and the rate at which the speed itself is changing, otherwise known as acceleration. Finding the rate at which something changes is called differentiation.
Another important principle in calculus involves finding a total of something over time. If a plane is flying at a _________ speed, it’s quite easy to work out how far it will go in a given time, but if the speed keeps changing, it’s _________ to calculate the total distance. In calculus this is called integration.
Calculus is at the root of almost every aspect of modem life, not least because it’s fundamental to understanding electricity. Calculations in engineering and medicine _________ require calculus as well, since nothing going on in those fields is static. But I’ve realized that it _________ my procrastination problem too.
The problem, as I now see it. is that I was thinking about my current pain level _________ rather than my total pain over time. If I think about the total pain that will accumulate until I finish an unpleasant task, the amount isn’t increased by starting, though it can feel that way. __________ the total pain is increased by procrastinating, since the stress of not having done the task hangs over me. The only way to __________ the total remaining pain is to start working at the task, so that some of the pain is in the past.
You might have noticed that I’ve considered a total (integration) and also a rate of change (differentiation). The “fundamental theorem (定理) of calculus” essentially tells us that integration and differentiation are inverse (相反的)__________. In terms of procrastination, this means that the amount of future pain decreases by my current pain level. Thinking about it this way allows me to see __________ as a good tiling, since it’s being taken away from the future total. Part of the helpful process for me is first imagining the __________ of all the remaining pain and then imagining it decreasing — that is, both the integration and the differentiation steps.
Math sometimes seems to complicate things, but the aim in the end is to __________ them. And I honestly haven’t encountered another approach that helps me as much as this for tackling procrastination.

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。
Thoa Bui was a local animal lover. She had rescued many animals over the years. When a sweet little cat was found alone next to her co-worker's house, her heart broke. So Thoa was-ted no time taking her into her home. Thoa recalled that this baby cat was "skinny, dirty and dying".
Thoa named the cute cat, Rosie. Thoa was ready and willing to do whatever to save this small animal. The poor kitty was abandoned from her mother at such a young age, and Thoa was getting nervous that Rosie wouldn't make it another night without eating properly. So, if Thoa herself couldn't help Rosie feel safe enough, perhaps another animal could help. As soon as Thoa brought in her cherished pet, Lilo the husky(哈士奇), into the room, everything changed for Rosie.
Together, the two instantly shared a special bond. Lilo lay down with Rosie, and as the minutes went by, it was clear that Rosie felt even more secure and out of harm's way. Lilo was never a mother. But it seems like her maternal instincts(母性)are incredibly strong! Lilo never left Rosie's side for hours. Once Rosie finally felt safe from Lilo's welcoming warmth and comfort, she started crying for food, and the little kitty tried sucking on Lilo to get some milk, as if she was Rosie's mother.
"She knew that Rosie needed her. She accompanied her until she was better,"Thoa said, "It looks like both filled up a missing spot in each other's heart. " Rosie felt secure with Lilo, and it was clear that Lilo felt the same with Rosie. Lilo laid by Rosie's side for hours, and didn't even get up to eat that night! Thoa had to actually bring Lilo's food to her. But Thoa would have never expected what was going to happen next between the two lovely creatures.
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。
One day, Thoa took Lilo out, leaving Rosie at home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She decided to take out along with the two, Lilo and Rosie !
