22、I come from a family of travelers. My mom started a travel agency when she was younger than I am now, and growing up they never left me behind when they went on their adventures.
I graduated early and got a degree from a community college by the time I turned 18. At that time, I had traveled to around 70 countries. This was the point in my life where people began to ask me the question that a young person will never want to be asked: “What are you going to do next?”
In an attempt to answer that question, I began by asking myself what I was most passionate about, which has always been traveling. That’s when it dawned on me — the very first time I thought about breaking the world record.
In 2016, I got serious and started working on my mission to travel to every single one of the world’s 196 sovereign nations without any official sponsorship. I spent countless hours crammed on planes, trains, chicken buses, tuk-tuks and junk boats traveling with nothing but a backpack. I have encountered health issues, spanning from malaria in West Africa to hospital-worthy food poisoning in Pakistan. I learned how to cope with public anxiety attacks by myself in foreign countries, and I endured the brain-sizzling frustration of dealing with officials from every country that requires a visa.
Believe it or not, beyond a record breaker, these memories are treasurable as they were the most defining moments of my life, spent far, far away from my comfort zone, I’m currently writing a book about my experiences in every country and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. After finally completing this massive life goal, I’ll be taking the next few months to nourish my physical and mental health as I make plans for the future.
【1】Why are the young unwilling to be asked the question?
A.They are uncertain about their future.
B.They are unemployed after graduation.
C.They don’t know which country to go next.
D.They don’t have good communication skills.
【2】What do we know about the authors world tour?
A.She was self-funded.
B.She starved in Pakistan.
C.She got her visas smoothly.
D.She mostly traveled by plane.
【3】What does the author think of her experience?
A.Comfortable.
B.Touching.
C.Invaluable.
D.Ordinary.
【4】What does the author plan to do next?
A.Start a new book.
B.Build up her body.
C.Take some lessons.
D.Make a public speech.
23、 Children can make some pretty lofty statements and grand promises. And an 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception-but then he actually fulfilled his promise.
A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 year old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevrolet(雪佛兰)Bel Air on his 57th birthday.
'He grew up in a poor family of seven children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time,' Belairboy wrote.
Then the day came.
He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a cornhole board. When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said, 'happy birthday,' all the father could say in a whimpering tone was 'no', as he tearfully went in for a hug.
'Oh my God, oh my God. This is real! This is real! ' the father said as he climbed into the driver's seat.' You're kidding me. This is spotless, man.'
Later, Belairboy revealed that he had hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.
'We would talk about older vehicles so as to make sure how much he would enjoy it. I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day, ' Belairboy wrote.' He would get so excited and talk about owning something that he knew he never would be able to. '
【1】Why did the father say 'No' when seeing his birthday present?
A.He didn't know what happened.
B.He wanted to hug his dear son first.
C.He was too excited to say anything else.
D.He knew little about this type of vehicle.
【2】What did the father think of his dream car at first?
A.He wouldn't like it at all. B.He would own one some day.
C.His son would buy one for him. D.He would never have it in his life.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Belairboy?
A.He is warm-hearted. B.He is worth trust.
C.He is well-received. D.He is hardworking.
24、Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities? Urban areas also tend to get hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery.【1】
It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside. In the country, evaporation(蒸发)of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air.【2】Having fewer plants, cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem. Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light, making the temperature increase more noticeably. In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy.【3】Sadly, most parts of cities are covered by asphalt(沥青), steel, roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
【4】As people drive cars, heat buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat and pouring it into the atmosphere directly. The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don’t have to be so hot. Some cities have lightened their streets. This is done by covering black asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating. 【5】
Having more green spaces also helps. Plants serve as a natural air conditioner. They catch heat, release vapour(蒸汽)into the air, and take away heat, contributing to cooler, fresher cities.
A.Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
B.The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength.
C.This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.
D.So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E.Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F.Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.
G.These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.
25、 There’s a program for middle schools called Treps that teaches kids about business and product development. The students are given the task to learn to ________ products on their own, and at the end of the program the school gym is ________ up like a trade show where all the kids get to sell the products. They each get a ________, make signs and dress up a little. The school gym is________ to the public and attracts a crowd.
Some of the kids there ________ have a crowd at their stand, because the products made by themselves are unique and interesting. But there are some other kids, with ________ that aren’t very good, just don’t stand out, aren’t getting attention. At first, they stand there with a ________face but later you can see the ________ in their eyes because everyone walks by the stands uninterested. I always think it ________ to visit the stands of those kids, buy something, and________ them for how hard they must have worked on it. Just the confirmation that someone likes what they make and notices their effort can ________ them. I usually bring $100 to this event merely for this ________. As the night goes on, ________ they still haven’t sold much, I will send my daughter over there to buy something from them.
The other day, as an education expert, I was ________ with some parents about this. They asked me why I encouraged the kids who made terrible products, saying “________ confirmation means they won’t learn anything”. I told them, “These kids know their products aren’t a ________, but that doesn’t mean they should ________. It takes courage to ________ there and try to sell their products. If nobody buys anything, or nobody ______ their effort, they will probably quit next time.” Hearing these, all the parents agreed.

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 was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of Bowers. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother reading stories to me. When I was old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I would never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I bad been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But however easily I acted at home, the moment I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside, explaining that she had written a narrator’s (解说员) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. ”I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. ”From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden. ”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested, “All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions.” “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled to me gently.
