21、   On a drive to my appointment on Halloween, I thought about how life should be going. I was 30, a mother of three daughters — twin five-year-olds and a one-year-old. I should be playing in the park with them or visiting the library. But once again, I needed this appointment.

It had been a year since I’d been diagnosed with cancer. My surgery was over, so it’s just a routine blood test. As always, there was a fear that the cancer had returned. But today, it was more than that. I felt alone, tired, and sad. My family and friends were busy with their lives, and I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness. I just wanted to see the positive things in life and be truly grateful — without reservations.

When we finally arrived, we sat in a crowded waiting room. It was pretty uneventful (平淡的) until my youngest daughter, dressed up like an angel, walked up to a complete stranger and said, “Tweet.” This was what she said, “Trick or Treat,” coached previously by her twin sisters. The old woman , who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver, knew exactly what my daughter meant. She ordered her helper to take her over to the vending machine. She put in enough money to give each of my girls a treat. This caring act started a run on the vending machine. Soon, everyone had a candy bar or bag of chips ready for impromptu trick or treat, which was beyond their expectation.

Everyone was smiling and laughing, and my daughters were extremely happy with their good fortune. Here were these people, facing who-knows-what health difficulties, and they only thought of giving three little girls some Halloween fun. It was a lesson for me about how good, kind and generous people are. The gratitude I felt was overwhelming (压倒性的),and the thankfulness didn't fade away.

【1】Where might the story take place according to the text?

A.In the library. B.In the park.

C.In a hospital. D.At a store.

【2】How did the author feel about that day’s appointment on her way to her destination?

A.Unprepared. B.Initial.

C.Eventful. D.Splendid.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A.An Exciting Appointment B.A Special Trick or Treat

C.A Routine Blood Test D.One Special Friend

22、Here are remarkable scientists who improved our understanding of almost everything around us. Click to learn more about the scientists who, through their contributions and discoveries, changed the world as we know it.

Galileo (1564—1642) Creating one of the first modem telescopes, Galileo completely changed our understanding of the world, successfully proving the Earth circles around the Sun and not the other way around. His work Two New Sciences laid the groundwork for the science of Kinetics and strength of materials.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642—1726) Newton was a polymath who made investigations into a whole range of subjects including mathematics, physics, and astronomy. In his Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, he laid the foundations for classical mechanics, explaining the law of gravity and the laws of motion.

24、Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land—like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.

As with many scientific advances－Isaac Newton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt—Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.

Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.

The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs for propulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.

Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.

【1】What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin?

B．Roh’s chance discovery about bees.

C．Their outstanding talent for science.

D．Their similar achievements in discovery.

【2】What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Fast flight.

B．Driving force.

C．Pulling speed.

D．Explosive power.

【3】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Honeybees can surf to safety.

B．Bees help scientists make inventions.

C．Insects can adapt to the environment.

D．Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

25、Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his   one night when I was ready to quit(退出) a political movement I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.

In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Dad   stakes(木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk(树干) to the stakes, and said, “Don’t worry, he is going to grow again...”
