21、24 Solar Terms: 4 things you should know about Grain Buds
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. 【1】. Let's see what we can do during the "Grain Buds" period.
A good season for eating fish
During the Grain Buds period, the summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, "A heavy rainfall makes the river full." Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which gives rise to great tasting fish and shrimp. This is a good time to enjoy them. 【2】.
Eating herb of common sow thistle
Grain Buds is a season for eating the herb (草药) of the common sow thistle, which tastes a little bitter and sour, but also sweet. It has the function of cooling the blood and detoxifying the body. It can be made into different types of dishes. 【3】. Some people boil the herb with water and then squeeze out the juice, which can be used to make soup.
Tips on health preserving in Grain Buds
【4】. The increase in temperature over this season may also give rise to all sorts of skin diseases. It is also important to exercise to keep healthy during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular.
【5】
This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical. Flower trimming and clipping is important. And a systematic fertilized water system should be carried out.
A．Key period for flower management
B．It is also harvest season for fishermen
C．A lot of water and extra care for wild flowers
D．But the solar term culture is still useful today to guide people's lives
E．It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe
F．People in Ningxia like to eat it blended with salt, vinegar, peppers or garlic
G．High temperatures and humidity are common during the Grain Buds period
22、 An interactive online map allows you to type in your home address and see where it falls during any given time period.The map tracks how the earth has changed over 750 million years.
The love-labor of software engineer Ian Webster, the map tool is attached to the world’s largest digital dinosaur database, also created by Webster, who drew on geographical data from another resource called Ancient Earth.Ancient Earth was culmination (顶点) of work called the Paleomap project.
The project allows users to enter most towns, cities and countries into the search bar.A 3D globe will show you approximately where they were on a 750-million-year timeline.Ancient Earth comes with a variety of tools that allow you to learn interesting information, or select a time period based on the emergence of specific features, such as the first flower to ever bloom on Earth.
Given that Webster is an expert in dinosaurs, any location you enter in the search function will also provide you with a list of dinosaurs that would have been your neighbors — all with inline links to that particular dinosaur’s profile on Webster’s database.This represents an incredible educational resource for children and adults interested in geography.
Even with modern GPS technology and programs like Google Maps, globes and 2D paper maps continue to shape our understanding of Earth.Ancient Each is a very good educational tool especially for kids, as they get to see their very own homes move around in the tectonic (构造的) dance that’s been going on billions of years.
“I'm amazed that experts collected enough data to actually build my home 750 million years ago, so I thought you all would enjoy it too, ”Webster wrote in a comment.“I chose this particular model because it covers the greatest length of time.”
【1】What is the function of the interactive online map?
A．It makes up part of Ancient Earth.
B．It shows what has happened to Earth.
C．It helps Ian Webster locate one’s home easily.
D．It provides the biggest digital dinosaur database.
【2】What can users do through Ancient Earth?
A．Do research on dinosaurs.
B．Search most places on the earth.
C．Discover what a place used to be.
D．Gain some information about timeline.
【3】How can children benefit from Ancient Earth?
A．They can learn more about geography.
B．They can get easier access to the Net.
C．They can buy rich educational resources.
D．They can develop an interest in dinosaurs.
【4】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The data.
B．The Paleomap Project.
C．The Google Map.
D．The interactive online map.
23、 Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.
Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.
The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered "e-bikes", both of which are spreading.
Transport agencies should accept the upstarts(新兴方式), and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.
It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much effort of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.
【1】What is the change in public transport in big cities?
A.It is becoming busier.
B.It is getting less popular.
C.There are fewer traffic delays.
D.There is more new transport.
【2】In the author’s opinion, the reason for the decline of public transport is that ______.
A.there are roadworks and broken signals.
B.people are becoming healthier and employed.
C.cars and bikes are more and more available.
D.transport agencies are seemingly less competitive.
【3】How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?
A.By giving examples
B.By providing research results
C.By stating arguments
D.By comparing different approaches
【4】According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is ____________.
A.to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyone.
B.to provide people with more means of transportation.
C.to build a good platform that appeals to transport agencies.
D.to make traditional networks and technology firms cooperate.
24、I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen, and partly because I really was not an angel. I may truthfully say I was a friendly, impulsive(易冲动的)teenager. I didn’t want to be an angel. In short, I was a real human boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England.
Whenever a new scholar came to our school, I used to ask him “My name’s Tom Bailey; what’s your name?” If the name struck me favorably, I shook hands with the new pupil cordially, but if it didn’t, I would turn and walk away, for I was particular on this point.
I was born in Rivermouth almost fifty years ago, but, before I became very well acquainted with that pretty New England town, my parents moved to New Orleans. I was only eighteen months old at the time of the move, and it didn’t make much difference to me where I was, because several years later, when my father proposed to take me North to be educated, I had my own view on the subject. I instantly kicked over the little boy, Sam, who happened to be standing by me at the moment, and declared that I would not be taken away to live among a lot of Yankees! You see I was what is called “a Northern man with Southern principles,” I had no recollection of New England: my earliest memories were connected with the South. I knew I was born in the North, but hoped nobody would find it out. I never told my schoolmates I was a Yankee, because they talked about Yankees in a scornful way which made me feel that it was quite a shame not to be born in the South.
And this impression was strengthened by Aunt Chloe, who said, “There wasn’t no gentlemen in the North no way.”
With this picture of Northern civilization in my eye, the readers will easily understand my terror at the bare thought of being transported to Rivermouth to school, and possibly will forgive me for kicking over little Sam, when my father announced this to me. As for kicking little Sam, I always did that, more or less gently, when anything went wrong with me.
My father was greatly troubled by this violent behavior. As little Sam picked himself up, my father took my hand in his and led me thoughtfully to the library. He appeared strangely puzzled on learning the nature of my objections to going North.
“Who on earth, Tom, has filled your brain with those silly stories?” asked my father calmly.
“Aunt Chloe, sir, she told me.”
My father devoted that evening and several evenings to giving me a clear account of New England: its early struggles, its progress, and its present condition. I was no longer unwilling to go North; on the contrary, the proposed journey to a new world full of wonders kept me awake nights. Long before the moving day arrived I was eager to be off. My impatience was increased by the fact that my father had purchased for me a fine little Mustang pony, and shipped it to Rivermouth two weeks before the date set for our own journey. The pony completely resigned me to the situation. The pony’s name was Gitana, which is the Spanish for “gypsy”, so I always called her Gypsy.
Finally the time came to leave the vine-covered mansion among the orange-trees, to say goodbye to little Sam(I am convinced he was heartily glad to get rid of me), and to part with Aunt Chloe. I imagine them standing by the open garden gate; the tears are rolling down Aunt Chloe’s cheeks; they and the old home fade away. I am never to see them again!
【1】The second paragraph is intended to _______.
A. support Tom’s opinion that he is a “faultless young gentlemen”
B. show just how much confidence Tom possesses
C. contradict other people’s belief that Tom is not a well-behaved, friendly boy
D. provide an example that Tom is friendly and not an angel
【2】The underlined word “cordially” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
A. sincerely B. unbelievably
C. officially D. closely
【3】Tom Bailey’s feeling on moving to Rivermouth can best be described as _______.
A. cold, as he was too young to know any better
B. unwilling until his father corrected his misunderstandings about life in the North
C. angry because he would be forced to leave his pony, Gypsy, behind
D. excited until he realized that he would have to part with Aunt Chloe and little Sam
【4】From what Aunt Chloe said, we can know_________.
A. She didn’t want Bailey to leave her.
B. She had prejudice towards Yankees.
C. She had a sad memory of living in the North.
D. Tom Bailey was brought up and loved by Aunt Chloe.
【5】It can be inferred from “a Northern man with Southern principles” that ______.
A. Tom is a Yankee, unwilling to adapt to a Southern lifestyle
B. even though Tom now lives in the South, he is proud of his Northern heritage
C. Tom has successfully subscribed to some Northern values and some Southern values
D. although Tom was born in New England he liked the way of life and culture in the South
【6】At the end of the story, Tom Bailey went to North______.
A. sadly B. reluctantly
C. impatiently D. willingly

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。
When I arrived home from school, night was falling. A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street, rescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!”
I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.
Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits.
注意：
1. 续写词数要求应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.
