21、On Wednesday, millions of people around the world will celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, which honors Patron Saint (a main religious figure) of Ireland. Communities across the United States will host parades (游行), parties, and other festivities to mark the occasion.
This year, cities like Boston, New York, and Chicago have organized big events celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. In New York City, hundreds of thousands of people will gather to watch the Saint Patrick’s Day parade—the nation’s largest. It is one of the most watched parades in the world. Last year, almost 2 million watched it, more than 150,000 took part in it and they filled the streets. The parade, first held in 1776, is also one of the oldest.
Chicago also throws a big celebration. Every year, the Chicago River, which crosses the city, shines green as event organizers pour about 40 pounds of fluorescence, a powerful dye (染料), into the water.
Boston keeps its parade rolling for three hours or more. It is the nation’s second-largest parade. The city will also show respect to one of its most famous former residents, President John F. Kennedy, by opening the exhibit “A Journey Home: John F. Kennedy and Ireland”, at his official library.
Patron Saint lived in Britain in the early fifth century, when it was still part of the Roman Empire. He was caught and sold into slavery in Ireland when he was only 16. He finally escaped slavery and turned to a life of religious devotion. He trained to become a minister and set out to spread Christianity throughout Ireland. After 30 years as a religious leader, Patrick died on March 17, 1461. Saint Patrick’s Day is always celebrated on March 17. In Ireland, it is an official holiday.

22、 Would a faster reading speed mean that we could learn more? Some people claim that it’s possible. In July last year，the six-time speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to read Harper Lee’s Go Seta Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it--- which equals a reading rate of around 3100 words per minute. Jones runs training courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are numerous speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the past few years. But do they actually work?
First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan across the words. They don't move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of short, sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The movements are known as saccades(扫视)and the pauses are called fixations.
Reading isn't just about seeing the words---you need to comprehend them to build up a picture about what the text means. People are able to get through a block of text faster, but at the cost of accuracy and understanding. In other words, you use a speed reading app, then you'll probably get the gist(主旨) of a piece of text, but you'll struggle to recall details about what you’ve just read.
So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no. It really depends on what you’re reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isn't a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately-there's always going to be a trade-off.
【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Speed reading is bad at times. B.Speed reading is a waste of time.
C.Speed reading can work sometimes. D.Speed reading is always enjoyable.
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A.Reading apps ensure we read much faster.
B.Fast reading makes us learn more knowledge.
C.Reading ability is not related to the eye movement system.
D.You probably get the main idea of a passage by using a speed reading App.
【3】What do we know about Anne Jones?
A.She runs training courses teaching only speed reading technique.
B.She is a running champion.
C.She can read very fast.
D.She creates some speed reading apps.
【4】What might the writer continue to talk about?
A.The advantages of faster or slower reading.
B.The reasons why to do faster or slower reading.
C.The methods for making use of faster or slower reading.
D.The cases where to do faster and slower reading.
23、To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write.
Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don’t listen carefully, you will find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Writing, like speaking, it’s to express ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.
Chinese students read too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context (上下文). If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying. They should learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
【1】In the passage the writer gives Chinese students advice on how to ________.
A．understand spoken language
B．write good English
C．read books in English
D．learn a foreign language better
【2】We can learn from the passage that ______ should come first in learning a foreign language.
A．listening
B．speaking
C．reading
D．writing
【3】In order to be a fast reader, the writer advises us to ________.
A．use a dictionary as often as you can
B．look up every new word you meet with
C．guess the meaning of the new word
D．read word by word
【4】The las paragraph tells us that language students should ________.
A．just learn the language itself
B．also learn about the culture of the country
C．do more reading and writing
D．do more practice in listening and speaking
24、There is no single road to improving your memory. That means it’s important to include many different brain enhancing habits in your daily routine. Memory improvement shouldn’t be a burden, but it does require a little time and effort on your part.【1】
Brain Games Training. Keeping your memory sharp can be fun. There are free online brain games on the Internet that you can play anytime. No registering, no logging in.【2】These games improve memory, attention, concentration, and more.
【3】. A quick example: To memorize that “Atlanta”is the capital of Georgia,imagine an ant landing on George Washington’s head.“Ant Land On+George”=Atlanta, Georgia! These visualization methods can be used to memorize lists, vocabulary, reading material, people’s names, math formulas, or any other type of information.
Fish Oil-The New Memory Fix.Do you or someone you know have problems concentrating? An Omega-3 deficiency (缺乏) sometimes causes this problem.【4】.In one study in Britain, school children with poor concentration and memory who received Fish Oil vitamins showed a big improvement in behavior and school performance.
Grow New Brain Cells. Amazingly, it is possible to grow new brain cells in the memory center of your brain.【5】.According to research，intense aerobic(有氧的)exercise(such as running，biking，etc.) stimulates the growth of cells in the brain’s hippocampus(海马体).
A．Memory Techniques
B．Vocabulary division
C．Just go to the game page and start playing

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and wet, and the street lamps gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued, and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this. The short, quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.
Frank found it impossible not to turn round. As he did so, he caught sight of a human from coming toward him. After reaching the other side of the bridge, Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water. From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
As the man came near, Frank turned towards him and said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the person who lived there was very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, Frank began following the stranger quietly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.
Paragraph l:
Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Frank couldn’t just stand in the dark and wait.
