21、 My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent（缺席的） 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I asked God for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked（显著的） improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent –– teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised because he had changed himself completely. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I'd play a joke，but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

22、If you’re like most people, you’re too busy eating pizza to stop and consider how it arrived on your kitchen counter. Ponder it long enough, though, and you may find it curious that pies usually come in square or other boxes that are different from the round crust. So why don’t pizzas arrive in round cardboard boxes?
It’s mostly because the pizza industry doesn’t really care to disrupt the cardboard industry. Cardboard boxes are usually manufactured with edges (i.e. square or rectangular) because they can be made in one piece as well as neatly stacked (堆放).
The advantage of making a round pizza box would mainly be good-looking. It’s not going to saves pace over an edged box. In the case of frozen pizzas, stacking pies vertically runs the risk of them rolling out of place. It’s just bad pizza management.
Of course, there are exceptions. Many pizzerias offer sheet or Sicilian-style pizzas, which are served in a rectangular shape and better fit a rectangular box. And some chains have toyed with the conventional pizza bot shape. Domino’s has a six-sided design with tapered (锥形的) front edges intended to reduce the cardboard used and limit the company’s carbon footprint. (It also reportedly keeps the pizza from sliding around.)
Pizza wasn’t always served in square cardboard. In the 1800s, street sellers carried pies in portable metal containers that kept them warm. When pizza started rising in popularity in postwar America, pizzerias used a single piece of cardboard as support and then slipped the pie into a paper bag. Eventually, corrugated (波纹的) cardboard struck a fine balance between preserving heat without trapping too much moisture.
Will we ever see a complete rethink of the pizza box? Some people have tried. In 2010, Apple filed for a patent for a round pizza container with holes so moisture can escape. It’s used in the company’s food courts. Another company, World Centric, designed a compostable (可降解的) round box in 2018 that can be used to reheat pizza. A similar product was test-marketed by Pizza Hut in 2019. All of the designs boasted of keeping pizzas warmer and crispier for longer, but none have become commonly used.
For the most part, you’re still likely to encounter square boxes. Pizza is, after all, about finding comfort in the familiar.
【1】How does the writer introduce the topic?
A．By describing a common problem.
B．By raising a question.
C．By challenging others’ views.
D．By making a comparison.
【2】Why do pizzas usually come in square boxes?
A．Square boxes are good-looking.
B．The pizza industry cares it much.
C．Square boxes can be made and stacked easily.
D．Square boxes can keep pizzas warmer and crispier for longer.
【3】What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?
A．The bright future of the pizza box.
B．Significant changes of the pizza box.
C．Failed attempts of several companies.
D．Successful examples of several companies.
【4】Which of the following can be the title of the passage?
A．Why do round pizzas come in square boxes?
B．How did pizza boxes develop into what it is?
C．What advantages do square pizza boxes have?
D．How did square pizza boxes come into being?
23、Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers.February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday. Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable. So why do so many people know and read Dickens today?
One reason is the British government's insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.His stories, though often long by today's standards, are great moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.
Earlier this month a ceremony was held in Portsmouth ,where Dickens was born Prince Charles said at the ceremony, Dickens used his creative genius to campaign passionately for social justice, his characterization is a fresh today as on the day is was written.
His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight into human nature. Dickens like Shakespeare tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.
Readers have returned to Dickens’ books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.
No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama thatintroduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.

24、 Michelle Kwan is a champion ice skater who has won five World Championships, nine U. S. Championships and two Olympic medals, in addition to countless other skating competitions. While audiences have seen her glide effortlessly across the ice, long hours of practice and devotion contribute each jump and spin.
Kwan began ice skating when she was five years old, and her skill quickly became evident. At the age of eight, she skated several hours a day, every day of the week. Before school, after school and on weekends, she was at the ice rink. The cost of ice time and coaches quickly grew, but her parents were committed to her success. Her family sold their home and purchased a much smaller one to free up money to pay for her ice skating.
When Kwan was 13, she performed at her first U. S. National Championships. After a disappointing performance, she swore to work even harder and improve. She did. The next year, she finished second. From there she went on to win a silver medal at the 1998 Olympics and the first of her World Championships. She followed up with a bronze medal at the 2002 Olympic Games.
Kwan is the most decorated figure skater in American history. She was the sole member to the U. S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame and the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame classes of 2012, and in 2014, she was appointed to the Hall of Fame at the U. S. National Competition.
Even after retiring from skating. Kwan has not given up her devotion to learning, service and hard work. She received her college degree in 2009 from the University of Denver and is pursuing graduate studies in international relations at Tufts University. Meanwhile, she has held several diplomatic and ambassador positions representing the United States globally. Ultimately，whether on the ice, in the classroom or representing her nation, Kwan presents one consistent quality—devotion.

25、A new study, carried out by The American Automobile Association of America (AAA), has found that driver assistance systems fail to perform some actions in real-world test situations.
The experiments aimed to recreate common driving situations to measure the _______ of the assistance systems. All of the four test models had systems designed to provide emergency stopping assistance. _______, they were built to help keep vehicles within a lane and to back up speed control systems. AAA said the test vehicles repeatedly _______ on public roads when dealing with some real-world situations.
Separate tests were carried out in a _______ environment off public roads. In those tests, all vehicles were able to _______ stay in a lane and to recognize the presence of another vehicle entering into traffic. However, three out of four vehicles _______ a test in which a lead vehicle changed lanes, causing a stopped vehicle to suddenly appear. AAA said in this test, each of the three cases required a driver to be involved to _______ an immediate crash.
Automakers usually warn that the ability to _______ a stopped vehicle after a lead vehicle changes lanes is a design limitation for driver assistance systems. But AAA’s director of automotive engineering, Greg Brannon said vehicles had been expected to notice the stopped cars and react in time. Brannon said one reason for the _______ could be that several manufacturers use the word pilot in the names of their systems. “Confusing vocabulary may lead someone to ________ a system’s capability, unintentionally placing the driver and others on the road at risk.” He added.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I opened the package containing individually wrapped Lego sets for my two boys from Lisa, who was a nurse in New Hampshire. We used to be total strangers, but an incident made us less strange.
Last August, we drove from our home in Washington, DC, to New Hampshire. It was just me, my husband, and our two kids out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away.
We had hiked about half a mile to a popular spot called Diana’s Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat huge rocks like an M. C. Escher drawing. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance.
Both where we sat and down below, the water fell into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were splashing around. I watched as some younger parents nervously protected their toddlers away from the rocks edges, feeling grateful that I was out of that stage, for our kids, at six and eight, could navigate their physical space with more confidence. Don’t get me wrong: I was still terrified as I saw my two boys jump between the slippery rocks. But soon I relaxed and we were all having fun, splashing in the pools, my kids laughing as my husband swam under the cold running water. Then, seconds later, every fear I’d ever had rose to the surface.
I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in a fast-moving stream. I yelled at him to get out and he yelled back something that I couldn’t hear, and then he disappeared over the edge!
All I remember from the moments after is screaming, over and over! “Somebody help my son! ” I didn’t even know what help he needed, because I couldn’t force myself to look.
My husband was already sprinting down the rocks. I continued to scream for help. However, it did not work. Everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help.
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。
A brown-haired women with a mask was the only exception.
