21、Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason’s school. All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety, which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said:
“Most traffic accidents are because of the drivers’ carelessness. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too fast. This means that it is difficult for them to stop quickly. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk.”
“It’s not only drivers to cause accidents, however, people on foot—pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.”
“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should make sure there aren’t any cars or trucks behind you. You should not turn until the street is clear.”
“The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey them, we should not have accidents any more.”
【1】Why do most accidents happen?
A.Because people stop their cars suddenly.
B.Because people don’t know the rules.

22、When a piece of art work is sold, information about who bought it and who sold it and also where it was sold, is usually recorded. If a work of art has no such information with it, then there is a good chance that it’s a forged(伪造)one.
Although there are many ways to detect forged art, it can still be a very difficult task for experts. Forgers know a lot about the artists and the materials that he or she used. They are very careful about painting exactly in the artist’s style. Yet experts continue to develop new technology to help fight forgery. For instance, scientists are now using the digital code from computer images, which can show the artist’s digital “fingerprint”. The digital fingerprint can give scientists specific information about the pressure, angle or thickness of the original artist’s strokes(笔画)of the brush. Some people today believe that there are almost as many forged works of art as original ones. However, with technology continuing to improve, it will surely become far more difficult for a forger to fool art experts.
Art can tell us about our own and other cultures and provide us with a valuable record of human history. While many great artists have borrowed ideas and been influenced by those before them, they have often taken these ideas and changed them into something that is fresh and new and originally theirs. Forgers are not expressing their own original ideas at all.
An original work of art has something a forged piece will never have. It has the touch, the feelings, the interpretation(诠释)of its creator and this is what gives it its mark of originality. It could be like comparing fresh flowers with artificial ones. Artificial flowers might have the same color, design, shape and look of real flowers in every way. Yet, examine them closer. Do they have the same feel?
【1】What is important to recognize an original work of art?
A.Its creator.
B.Its document.
C.Its value.
D.Its background.
【2】Which aspect of the original artist’s work can be shown by the digital fingerprint?
A.Its precise style.
B.Its natural material.
C.Its long history.
D.Its original size.
【3】What is the author’s attitude toward fighting forgery?
A.Cautious.
B.Positive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Hopeless.
【4】What can we learn about a forged work of art in the last paragraph?
A.Its topic covers different kinds of flowers.
B.It is as good as the original one.
C.It needs to be wiped out totally.
D.Its maker may be skilled.
23、The Kyiv City Ballet danced to a full theater in Paris for the company’s last show of its French tour. The tour has left the dancers without a place to go after the war started in Ukraine. In other times, performing at the Théatre du Chatelet would be a dream come true for the dancers. But with the ongoing war in their country, the dancers feel only a deep sadness.
“We are both physically and emotionally exhausted.” Ekaterina Kozlova said. She is the company’s assistant director. “Everyone in the ballet is worried about their families, loved ones, friends, colleagues at home. It’s been very difficult.”
The Théatre du Chatelet, in the center of Paris, offered them the stage on Tuesday for the group’s final show of a French tour. The dance director of the Paris Opera and some members of her company joined the Ukrainians for a class before performing several ballet classics together. They danced parts of Russian composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcrackery.
For many of the dancers, the chance to train and dance was a way to think about “something other than the conflict in Ukraine,” Kozlova said. One of the dancers will be going to the Ukrainian border in the coming days to pick up her young daughter who was taken out of the country. Only some members of the company were traveling around France. Many of the ballet’s best dancers stayed behind, waiting to join their friends after they reached Paris.
“Most of our artists are detained in Paris.” Director Ivan Kozlova told the Paris crowd. The city of Paris and the ballet community have helped find temporary housing for the Ukrainian dancers who say they hope to continue dancing in France and elsewhere. The Chatelet theater offered the whole group a residency. But for now, Tuesday’s last-minute performance was their last. All sales from their performances will go to nongovernmental organizations collecting and sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine and neighboring countries.
【1】What would the dancers feel about performing at the Théatre du Chatelet before the war?
A.Pleased.
B.Indifferent.
C.Sorrowful.
D.Sympathetic.
【2】What do we know about the Ukrainian dancers?
A.They would leave Paris soon.
B.They would prevent the conflict.
C.Many best dancers stayed in Paris.
D.Some would go to the Ukrainian border.
【3】What does the underlined word “detained” in Paragraph 5 mean?

C.Promoted.
D.Educated.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe the dancers?
A.Enthusiastic and kind.
B.Generous and professional.
C.Cooperative and ambitious.
D.Courageous and calm.
24、Many years ago, I bumped into an old friend of mine. He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful. In his middle age, he seemed defeated and sad.
I thought of his dogged (顽强的) perseverance. Was it smart or foolish? What could he have achieved? Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on? Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting. Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.
We chant (反复喊着) “Winners never quit” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try again. ” We lap up (欣然接受) stories of persistence, of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.
Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success, but it does not reward every person. For every JK Rowling, there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published. For every Olympic athlete, there are innumerable (无数的) others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.
We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise. So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea? We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak. We believe that perseverance is the key to success. Perseverance is only one part of success. You need talent or skill, as well as passion and drive. Luck and timing are also key to any great success.
Our society believes that anything is possible, as long as you “believe”. But not everyone can make it. Quitting when you’ re not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do. Obviously, if you enjoy a pursuit, regardless of its outcome, you should continue. If you knew your novel would never be published, would you want to write? If you could never be a champion swimmer, would you still train? Sometimes, it is wise to put your energy into something else.
Failure is not always the path to success. Sometimes, failure is the door to something new.
【1】What do we know about the author’s old friend?
A.He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.
B.He switched his dream of acting to something else.
C.He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.
D.He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.
【2】The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to ______.
A.explain how she achieved success in writing
B.show that success doesn’t happen to everyone
C.prove that success favors those who are perseverant
D.encourage readers to hold onto their dream until they succeed
【3】What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4?
A.Made out of their dreams.
B.Met the required standard.
C.Improved their performances.
D.Promised to be good players.
【4】What does the author advise us to do if we’ve failed many times?
A.Make an effort to try new things.
B.Stick to your goal until we succeed.
C.Wait for the right time and good luck.
D.Ask friends or family members for help.
【5】What is the author’s attitude toward perseverance?
A.It makes anything possible.
B.It is not necessary for success.
C.It is not the only part of success.
D.It works well regards of outcome.
