21、An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.
She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
【1】What is “Trash Library” like?

D．Popular.
【2】Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?
A．To fight against climate change.
B．To collect trash for money.
C．To help kids get away from online games.
D．To get kids to read more and care for the environment.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying.
B．People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.
C．The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.
D．The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．A Novel Way to Improve Library
B．The Indonesian System for Reading
C．Your Trash Benefiting the Environment

22、While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.
For their study,biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy.Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face,while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.
Interestingly,the dogs were not provided with the entire face.Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves.That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.
After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions,the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face.The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn.They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly.However,once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded,the trepidation seemed to disappear.In fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctl. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.
【1】How did the scientists conduct the experiment?
A．By mixing the selected dogs together.
B．By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.
C．By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.
D．By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?
A．The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.
B．The dogs couldn’t read strangers facial emotions.
C．According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.
D．The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.
【3】The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means _________ .
A．curiosity
B．horror
C．excitement
D．doubt
【4】How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?
A．They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.
B．They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.
C．They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.
D．They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.
23、You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive. Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can build (or seek out) the ones that mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not “fit in”, as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you. Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 1?
A．irrelevant
B．disgraceful
C．misleading
D．unfortunate
【2】What does loneliness of young people usually refer to?
A．Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.
B．Not having friends or family for company when in trouble.
C．Not having interest in others’ school life within the social world.
D．Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young people’s loneliness?
A．Discovery of self-identity.
B．Desire for more friends.
C．Difficulties at home.
D．Unfamiliar environments.
【4】What will the text probably talk about next?
A．Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.
B．More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.
C．Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.
D．Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.
24、 Do parents have a constitutional right to homeschool their children? No, according to a California District Court judge, who recently ruled that a child must be schooled "by a person holding a valid state teaching credential for the grade being taught”.
What started as a Los Angeles County child welfare case involving one specific family has gone into proceedings that have actually put on trial the very nature of what constitutes a sound education. “For decades we’ve been happily homeschooling, and then this comes up suddenly,” says Mary Griffith, a homeschooling parent. Griffith says California had traditionally given homeschooling parents the freedom to choose the kind of education they want for their child.
This particular family in Los Angeles had enrolled their children in a private school independent study program not in their home. In response to abuse charges against the family, the children were enrolled in public schools. The parents stated they had a constitutional right to homeschool on religious grounds; that's when the court ruling was issued. However, Griffith says if the ruling ends up affecting anyone, it will mainly be those who also enroll their children in off-site homeschooling. “This won't be far-reaching for homeschooling parents."
That's how organizations like the Homeschool Association of California (HSC) would like to keep it, anyway, and they've hired a team of lawyers to limit the impact of the case. Griffith says the legal team for HSC is trying to establish that while this ruling may indeed be necessary for this particular family, it should not set a precedent for all.
What does this case really mean for homeschooling families nationwide? According to Darren A. Jones, this decision is certain to affect homeschooling on a national scale. Jones claims that it is common for state courts to look to other states’ rulings for assistance in deciding issues where no precedent exists. “A poor legal decision in California could become part of a trend across the nation.’’
【1】In Griffith’s opinion, ________.
A.parents don’t have a right to homeschool their children
B.a child must be schooled by an expert with a credential
C.homeschooling should be forbidden in the whole country
D.it is understandable for parents to homeschool their children
【2】The underlined word “this” in Para. 2 refers to the fact that ________.
A.parents happily homeschool their children
B.parents don’t have a right to homeschool their children
C.a child must be schooled by a person with a teaching credential
D.a Los Angeles County child welfare case involves a special family
【3】Why were the particular family’s children enrolled in public schools?
A.To avoid the abuse charges against them. B.To receive the better education in it.
C.To break away from their parents. D.To cooperate with the expert’s jobs.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards whether parents have a right to homeschool their children?
A.Supportive. B.Sympatric. C.Negative. D.Objective.

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。
As I was driving to the airport last week the odometer(里程表) on my truck rotated to 100,000 kilometers. This led me to pause and think about selling the truck and buying a new one, but it also made me think about all the life I’d lived in this truck, and how my bulldog had accompanied me in it, leaving me hesitating about selling it.
When I returned to Canada after nine years overseas, what better way could I fit in with and immerse in rural culture than by buying a pickup?
The day I rolled out of the dealer(经销商) and hit the first gravel road(碎石马路) in my Toyota Tacoma was exciting, until I got very nervous as rocks hit my new purchase. But all that quickly evaporated when I received my first call through the truck’s Bluetooth phone. It was the doctor, to say that my Dad was hospitalized in a remote location. I immediately followed the truck’s GPS and got there quickly and safely. I was with Dad for his last two days. And so the first memories of my truck are images carved in my heart.
As the kilometers of my life rolled on, Lyon, my bulldog who came back to Canada with me from France, claimed the back seat as an area belonging only to her. It didn’t matter how short or long the trip was, she stared at me in the review mirror all the time. Most often, I would arrive at our destination and Lyon would stay in the back seat, bathed in the sun with the door open, knowing I would return. There was an overwhelming sense of comfort between us in that truck.
In the early days of truck ownership, I panicked at how dirty it became and any dent(凹痕) it put on. I soon realized, though, that it was part of the truck’s character. Now I look at every dent and recall the story or adventure that put them there. I began to see it as character-building, much like wrinkles appearing on my face. The truck was simply aging gracefully and began, like humans, to display its experience and wisdom.
Paragraph 1:
I don’t think a vehicle is just for travelling from place to place.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
But as I approached the car dealer, I stopped.
