21、 My favourite book, TheSecret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding fault”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find fault. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.
My father is a person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.
After I had read my favourite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has his own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let's admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That's not good. Believe it or not, people don't like to listen to negative opinions.
One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others' feelings. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an arrogant person. Now, I find it much easier to make friends after making some changes!
【1】What do you know about the author's father?
A．He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.
B．He likes finding fault with people around him.
C．He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.
D．He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.
【2】The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “________”.
A．self-important
B．admirable
C．troublesome
D．cold-blooded
【3】What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A．To persuade readers to be good listeners.
B．To share his painful experience of making changes.
C．To tell readers the influence of a book on him.
D．To show the result of his father's negative character.
22、We've heard many stories of individuals across the world who've adopted a zero-waste lifestyle, but it's not often that we come across an entire community trying to become waste-free. The residents (居民) of Kamikatsu in Japan take recycling so seriously that they actually hope to become the nation's first zero-waste community by 2020.
Kamikatsu has no garbage trucks, so residents need to compost (制成堆肥) their kitchen trash at home. They also have to wash and sort the rest of their trash into 34 different kinds, and bring it to the recycling center themselves where workers make sure the waste goes into the correct bins. It obviously took some time for the residents to get used to this rule, but they eventually managed to adapt to the strict changes and they are now seeing them as normal.
Kamikatsu has turned recycling into a new process — there are separate bins for different types of paper products. Even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Many of these items are resold or repurposed (赋子新的用途) into clothing and toys. The labels on each bin let the residents know exactly what happens to their trash.
Reuse is highly encouraged in Kamikatsu — they have local kuru-kuru shops where residents can exchange used items with new things at no extra cost. Businesses are also encouraged to participate in responsible waste management.
A Kamikatsu resident said, “It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea. Now I don't think about it. It's become natural to separate the trash correctly.”
All the recycling facilities in Kamikatsu are managed by a Zero Waste Academy which also regularly hosts groups of local schoolchildren and foreign visitors, educating them on the benefits of a zero-waste lifestyle.
【1】How do the residents of Kamikatsu deal with their trash?
A．They throw it into garbage trucks.
B．They recycle all their trash at home.
C．They send it to the recycling center on their own.
D．They turn all trash into compost beneficial to the soil.
【2】What's the feature of recycling in Kamikatsu?
A．Trash is classified carefully.
B．Bins tell the residents details of their trash.
C．Used items are changed for new ones at lower price.
D．Recycled items are reused by the residents themselves.
【3】What can we infer from the resident mentioned in paragraph 5?
A．He feels painful to deal with trash.
B．He accepts the zero-waste community plan.
C．He advises the Japanese to follow their example.
D．He regards separating the trash as a waste of time.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To tell us what happens to trash.
B．To ask people to protect the environment.
C．To introduce an inspiring waste-free community.
D．To recommend people to compost kitchen trash.
23、 A year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o’clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.
We waited for an hour and were getting forlorn. We wouldn’t be able to stay overnight because it was weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.
I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my thanks to them. When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.
The laborer shook his head and said, “No.” On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own dilemma a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family’s act of kindness!
That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all over the world with your help! That is why today I specially share my story with you again!
【1】The reason why the driver permitted the laborer to get in is that __________.
A.the driver showed mercy on the laborer
B.the author promised to pay the laborer’s fare
C.the laborer finally agreed to pay his own fare
D.the driver wanted to share stories with the laborer
【2】What does the underlined “forlorn” in the second paragraph mean?
A.Hopeless. B.Excited.
C.Happy. D.Calm.
【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A poor laborer. B.A terrible trip.
C.Magic chain of kindness. D.The power of friendship.
24、Earlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations — including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC — to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn — at least for now. The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing — and has been for a while.
When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been publishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports — areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.
Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.
There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.
Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.
【1】What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..
B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.
C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.
D. To describe the process of online news reporting.
【2】Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.
A. these are the most popular topics for online readers
B. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
C. information on these topics is more easily available
D. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Journalism. B. Advertising.
C. Facebook. D. Business.
【4】In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?
A. The information presented is up-to-date.
B. The author's opinion is clear.
C. Different views on the topic are presented.
D. The language used is vivid.
25、In early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit in search of parenting wisdom. All the moms _______one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children. The culture views _______ or even speaking to children in an angry voice as _______. “When they're little, it doesn't help to raise your _______. It will just make your own heart rate _______,” a mom said. “And you are _________them to yell,” said clinical psychologist Laura Markham. “On the contrary, parents who control their own anger are_________their children to learn to do the same.”
“But how do you_________ kids to behave well? How do you keep your 3-year-old from running into the road?” I asked. “We use _______,” said Jaw, another mom. There are ________ stories passed down by word of mouth from one generation of Inuit to the next.
For example, they teach kids to stay away from the ________ by telling a story about the water monster. “If the child walks__________the water, the monster will__________him down to the ocean and adopt him out to another family,” Jaw says. “Then we don‘t need to ________ at a child, because the child is ________ getting the message.”
At first, such stories seemed to me a bit too ________for little children. But my opinion________ after I learned more about human ________with storytelling. Psychologist Deena Weisberg said, “Don't ________ the playfulness of storytelling. We learn best through things that are__________to us. And stories are much more interesting than bare statements.”

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。
Mary waited anxiously for her turn in the empty dressing room. Never had she been so nervous before. This competition was of vital importance to her comeback. “If I can win today,” she said to herself, “I can dance on the national stage next month.” Three months ago, she hurt her left arm in a car accident. After the medical treatment, she began to recover slowly. She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing skills.
“Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica. “How is your arm? Is it going to affect your performance?”
“I guess it can be tolerated for I am to win the match,” said Mary with a determined look.
“Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong. She can be your real well-matched competitor. Come on!”
After Jessica left, Mary decided to practice the most difficult spin (高速旋转). “If I don’t try harder, I won’t grasp this chance,” she thought. But her arm began to hurt, making her worried. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up.
Then a slim girl hurried in and put down a bag on the chair. Then, she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary, she smiled politely and said, “Hi, I’m Linda. I am a participant in the competition, too.” Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable. “She is just my competitor. Because of her, I may lose tonight.” Her mind was wandering when Linda screamed, “Oh, I can’t find my music tape!” Linda searched her bag but in vain. “It might have been missing on the way.” With these words, she then rushed out.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. ______
