22、Walking around the world may seem impossible, but that didn't stop one American woman from putting one foot in front of the other.
In 2014, Angela Maxwell, then in her early 30s, began her walk around the world alone. After six-and-a-half years and over 32,000 kilometers, Maxwell's walk ended where it began.
Before she left on her journey, Maxwell's found inspiration from women explorers of the past. “I read their books in hopes of finding encouragement—and I did—by learning about their challenges and struggles as well as their triumphs. Each woman's story was vastly different and it gave me the confidence to give my walk a try.” Maxwell told the BBC.
After selling all of her belongings, Maxwell left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, with 50 kilograms of camping gear, dehydrated（脱水的）food, a water filter and clothing for all seasons.
Maxwell's worldwide walk wasn't easy. She suffered from sunburn and heatstroke in the Australian desert and dengue fever in Vietnam. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and was attacked in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk. She learned beekeeping in the Republic of Georgia and camel-handling on the historical Silk Road in Mongolia. She helped a farmer renovate his house in Sardinia and handed out food to homeless people in Italy. She gathered countless stories that she'd go on to speak about at schools, universities and conferences.
When the BBC asked her what kind of person it takes to walk around the world, Maxwell said. "It's probably a combination of ambition, a little stubbornness and a pinch of passion—not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure."
"I didn't start walking because I was fearless—but rather because I was terrified. I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved."
【1】Where did Maxwell return after finishing her walking?
A．Bend Oregon.
B．Mongolia.
C．Australia.
D．The Republic of Georgia.
【2】What inspired Maxwell to start her own around-world journey?
A．The beautiful scenery around the world.
B．The sufferings women explorers experienced.
C．The encouragement from women explorers.
D．The stories of those past women explorers.
【3】Which of the following can be used to describe Angela Maxwell?
A．Fearless and brave.
B．Caring and strong-willed.
C．Passionate and careful.
D．Cautious and ambitious.
【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．She was so curious as to explore the world.
B．She was not frightened of anything unknown.
C．She was afraid of not following her heart.
D．She was afraid of losing what she owned and loved.
23、 Oscar Wrigley, a two-year-old child with the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, has become the youngest boy in Britain to be accepted into Mensa.
A leader at the Gifted Children’s Information Centre said Oscar, with an IQ of at least 160, is one of the brightest children they have ever come across.
Oscar’s father Joe, 29, an IT specialist, said, “He is always asking questions. Every parent likes to think their child is special but we knew there was something very unusual about Oscar. I’m fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I’m an idiot(白痴).”
Mother Hannah, 26, told The Daily Mail, “He surprises everyone. We knew at 12 weeks he was quite bright. He was unusually quick in mind. The other day he said to me, ‘Mummy, sausages are like a party in my mouth.’ His vocabulary is surprising. He’s able to make complex sentences.”
Dr Peter Congdon, who tested Oscar, said he was a “child of very superior intelligence (超常智力)”. He showed outstanding ability. “Oscar shows great gift. Changing that gift to success is the challenge for his parents and we are pleased that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support”, he said. Exactly speaking, Oscar was accepted at the age of two years, five months and 11 days.

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。
Two years ago, homeless Minnie was adopted by a single rich woman. Life did get a bit easier ever since she was taken in by her foster mom, but the little girl was still not happy. How she wished she could have a father!
One morning in class, Minnie’s teacher, Mr Thompson, made a surprising announcement, making Minnie frown (皱眉) again.
“Kids, tomorrow is Father’s Day! And at school, we’re all celebrating it by having breakfast with Dads! All of you get to bring your dads or anyone you look up to as your dad to school tomorrow. We’ll all sit in one circle, share funny stories, and have breakfast together.”
“What a terrible idea!” Minnie muttered (咕哝) under her breath.
For the rest of the day, most kids were talking up their fathers: businessmen, policemen, engineers, and even an actor. Everybody had somebody who was a father figure, except for Minnie.
After school, Mr Thompson spotted the sad little girl sitting alone by the school gate.
“Are you all right, Minnie?” Mr Thompson asked. Suddenly, the child hugged his legs and cried. Minnie told her trouble to her teacher and Mr Thompson comforted her.
After getting home that evening, Mr Thompson couldn’t shake off the sadness he had seen on Minnie’s face. Suddenly, he had an idea. He opened his laptop, and as the keys on the keyboard clattered, Mr Thompson began to smile.
He was putting out a post on social media, sharing Minnie’s story and asking for a dad to volunteer for Minnie and show up to school the next day as her father figure. Thirty minutes later, his phone buzzed.
And it buzzed again and again. By the time the teacher checked his phone, he was shocked to see the number flashing across the screen.
“50 volunteers? Am I reading this right?” Mr Thompson gasped. He put on his glasses and read through all the responses on his post. He was so surprised. These 50 volunteers all wanted to come and help Minnie.
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。
The next day, Minnie went to school sadly, not knowing the surprise was waiting for her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Minnie was confused at first, but when she saw those “dads”, she was obviously happy.
