21、 One peaceful afternoon, I open a photo album. I turn to a photo of a nice old man I had the honor to meet once. The memories rush back. That old man was not only kind, but also a legend. He was once one of the glorious “Flying Tigers”.
The “Flying Tigers” were also known as the American Volunteer Group. They served in China before the United States officially got involved in World War Ⅱ. They fought bravely for us against the Japanese. Only a few of them are still alive.
Louis T. Sneddon was a tail gunner and assistant engineer with the 14th Air Force near Kunming.
I expected to meet a serious man, but in fact Louis was kind and always smiled at me.
“I’m happy to be back in your home after 60 years. China has been in my heart although far away,” he said to me.
I was astonished when he told me his story. He finished 30 to 40 flying tasks, with over 900 hours of flight time. The main task was to patrol (巡逻) and attack ships moving between Japan, China and the Pacific islands. Bomb runs would fly low under the radar, drop their bombs and fly over the ships. These were considered to be the most dangerous missions of the war.
“Were you ever afraid?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Well, I didn’t think much about it. I just… did it,” he said, with a smile on his face. “But I was fortunate. The 10-member crew of my plane all returned alive.”
He was badly wounded, but he did not report his wounds and kept flying. His bravery and spirit deeply moved me, while his personality taught me a life-lesson.
“Make every day count.” His words ring in my mind. But the important thing I learnt from him was that we need to overcome our fear. Sometimes we think too much about the consequences, when we should really breathe deeply and take the brave, necessary step.
【1】When did the “Flying Tigers” serve in China?
A.When World War II broke out.
B.Before the US was formally drawn into World War Ⅱ.
C.When America got the final victory in World War Ⅱ.
D.After China declared war against Japan.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Louis T. Sneddon’s main task?
A.It was extremely difficult and dangerous.

C.No one but Louis T. Sneddon survived in this task.
D.Louis T. Sneddon was slightly wounded in this task.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Tiger of a Man B.A Photo Album
C.Flying Tasks D.The American Volunteer Group
【4】What was the intention of the author to write this passage?
A.To memorize a brave soldier.
B.To tell us a lesson of being optimistic.
C.To share his experience with us.
D.To appeal for peace forever.
22、It might sound unbelievable, but mind control television could soon become a reality. This technology could one day replace the remote control.
When testing the prototype, the users were able to operate a headset that allowed them to operate it and choose what they wanted to watch by concentrating. The device can know what you want to watch by reading the changes in brain activity. Cyrus Saihan, head of Business Development at BBC Digital, said the technology was still at an experimental stage.
Writing in a BBC blog, he said an experiment with ten members found they could all use the headset to start watching a program. He continued, “You can imagine a world where instead of having to get up from your sofa or reach for your remote control, you just think ‘put BBC 1 on’ when you want to watch TV. Imagine sitting in your car and thinking ‘I want to listen to Radio 4’ and hearing the radio station come on. Perhaps you would be able to just think ‘give me the latest news’, and then get served with a set of news.”
But Mr. Saihan added, “It’s important to know that it’s very early days, and while the devices are still improving, what they can do is still quite basic. Hopefully, it gives an idea of how audiences of the future might be able to control devices such as TVs just using their brain.” It is hoped that the system could be used to help those with disabilities in the future.

D．The technology will improve the development of brains.
23、 “How much money am I getting this year? That’s the question I ask my mom every February. And every year she replies，”You will see” in her Chinese accent.
February usually marks the month of the New Year according to the Chinese calendar. But for me, Chinese New Year is a payday. Usually I receive red envelopes (“hongbao”) which are the equivalent ( 同等物) of Christmas presents. Instead of wondering what the present will be, it is the amount of money inside that is the mystery. I always have to wait weeks to find out how much money my parents have in store for me.
I never knew how the traditions of Chinese New Year derived,_and I never gave it much thought, until my mom forced me to attend a special Chinese school where I learned about the origins of the traditions behind the famous celebration and had a knowledge of how the hanging of red lanterns or fireworks developed. But before that, the only part of the holiday that had ever concerned me was the “hongbao” and as selfish as it may sound.
But now Chinese New Year is a wonderful holiday for me not because of the “hongbao”， but the profound Chinese culture I have learned from the special school.
The excitement that comes with expecting Chinese New Year is one I will never get tired of. While the real celebrations are taking place in China, my family holds its own traditions. I can always count on my mom to make delicious Chinese food every year, and there is consolation (安慰) in knowing that as my sisters and I open our “hongbaos”， our cousins so many miles away are doing the same.
【1】What did the author care about most on Chinese New Year at first?
A.The amount of money she received.

C.Various activities during Chinese New Year.
D.The presents that her parents would give her.
【2】What does the underlined word “derived” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A.Worked. B.Continued.
C.Began. D.Changed.
【3】What can we infer about the author’s mom?
A.She has a strong feeling towards China.
B.She knows little about Chinese traditions.
C.She always gives her children a lot of money.
D.She tends to surprise her children on western festivals.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.New Year Hongbao
B.My Mom and China
C.Closer Attachment to China
D.Unforgettable Moments
24、 Many of the world’s largest brewers (啤酒商) are using new technologies to replace single-use, plastic six-pack beer rings with more sustainable materials. Though mostly being used in small test trials, full adoption could have a positive environmental impact. Carlsberg, for example, is using glue to adhere cans in a production method that the Danish brewer says would avoid using 1,200 tons of plastic yearly, or the equal of 60 million plastic bags, once fully adopted.
Brewers have zeroed in on plastic six-pack-ring packaging partly because most consumers can recall the miserable image of a seagull, turtle, or some other aquatic (水生的) creature trapped or killed by the plastic rings. The packaging is so deep-rooted in our culture that many children were taught to cut up the rings to lessen the chance that an animal might choke itself to death.
The rings developed by E6PR (Edible Six Pack Ring) programme, which is led by another brewery called Saltwater, are now used by 35 brewers across the globe, including in Africa, Europe, and Australia. These rings are made of waste wheat in beer production. The final goal is to ensure that the rings can be eaten harmlessly by aquatic creatures or break down in nature within a matter of weeks rather than the years it would take for plastic.
Giving up plastic straws and beer rings may help consumers feel better about their carbon footprint, but some experts say we should focus on other efforts. Recycling rates in the U.S.stand at just over 34%. Glass, in which many brewers bottle their beer, can be difficult to recycle and large to transport. If brewers were to focus on using thinner glass, some experts say, the improvement could prove even more beneficial to the environment than giving up plastic rings.
There’s also the risk that if consumers think their E6PR rings are less harmful, they’ll be more likely to litter. “The idea of creating something that’s litter-friendly is an issue in my mind,” says Nina Goodrich, executive director of environmental nonprofit GreenBlue. “What we need in North America is a better system to encourage collection and sorting.”
【1】What does the underlined word “adhere” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Collect. B.Stick. C.Open. D.Reuse.
【2】Why were children taught to cut up the plastic rings?
A.To collect the rings for recycling.
B.To make the rings break down more easily.
C.To prevent the rings harming aquatic animals.
D.To increase children’s awareness of loving nature.
【3】What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A.Low recycling rates in the U.S.
B.Benefits of giving up plastic beer rings.
C.Difficulty in transporting beer glass bottles.
D.Another way to protect the environment.
【4】What’s the risk of the E6PR rings?
A.They will be thrown away more casually.
B.They will not be accepted by consumers.
C.They will be more difficult to recycle.
D.They will be still made of plastic.

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。
A Lady Named Lily
Lily was a shy, young French-American girl who grew up in a farming community. At the age of 16, her father thought “Lily has had enough schooling,” and she was forced to drop out of school to contribute to the family income.
Her limited education and skills left her with little hope and confidence and she didn’t know what work she could do. She rode the bus daily into Detroit, but she couldn’t gather the courage to respond to a Help Wanted ad; she couldn’t even bring herself to knock on a door. Each day she would just ride to the city, walk aimlessly about and at dusk return home.
As days passed, Lily knew she had to have the courage to knock on a door. On one of her trips, Lily saw a sign, reading: “Secretary Wanted”. She walked up the long flight of stairs to the company offices. Cautiously(小心谨慎), Lily knocked on her very first door, and was met by the office manager Margaret. In her broken English, Lily told her she was interested in the position, falsely stating that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn’t right, but decided to give the girl a chance.
She sat her down at a typewriter and said with a smile, “Type the letter for me, and let me see how good you are.” Then she left.
Lily looked at the clock: 11:40 a.m. She figured that she could run away in the crowd when the clock struck 12. But she knew she should at least stay and give it a try. On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock read 11:45. “In fifteen minutes,” she said to herself, “I’ll escape from the company, and she will never see me again.” On her second try, Lily got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the whole letter, but still there were many mistakes in it. She looked at the clock: 11:55— five minutes to freedom.
Paragraph 1
Just then, the door opened and Margaret walked in
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Lily was astonished, who looked up at Margaret, excited to tears.
