21、I was born a bookworm. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t read: It was almost like breathing to me. My fictional worlds took me to all the places I needed to go and I experienced everything indirectly.
My father was in the military service when I was a child, so we moved every two years, but we insisted on going to bookshops wherever we lived. He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and wait patiently while I browsed (随便看看)—after all, the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be rushed. And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops.
One day I was thinking up the setting for How to Find Love in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm, contentment, and excitement came over me. It was a feeling of perfect happiness. That was my light bulb moment: My book would be set in a bookshop, and I could explore what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives.
The book isn’t just about discovering romantic love. It’s about finding the love of books: something that can sustain you throughout your life, and provide escape, entertainment, education, comfort, wonder. And, as I learned from my own father, it’s a love you can share with everyone. There is nothing more satisfying than sharing something you have read with someone else, knowing they will love it as much as you do.
But if we are to keep bookshops alive, we need to use them, and to encourage the next generation to make them a part of their life and view bookshops as a treat, a pleasure, an adventure, a gateway, so they become something we can’t live without. Thus my challenge to you, fellow readers, is to go to your local bookshops as often as possible and come out with something that might change your life.

24、Metin Sitti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, which can move along the walls of blood vessels (血管) against the direction of blood flow.
The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm (磁性纳米膜) made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.
The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells—the kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The microrollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.
By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one,” says Setti.
In future, the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.
The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target, we don’t need huge dosages (剂量).”
【1】What can the microrollers be used for?
A．Repairing blood cells.
B．Delivering drugs.
C．Improving blood flow.
D．Performing operations.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers?
A．Their shape.
B．Their advantage.
C．Their design.
D．Their application.
【3】What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4?
A．Their direction can be adjusted.
B．They might miss the target cells.
C．They might get stuck in the blood.
D．Their speed can change automatically.
【4】What will the scientists probably do next?
A．Put the microrollers to clinical use.
B．Sell the microrollers in large quantities.
C．Tear the microrollers down in the body.
D．Experiment with the microrollers further.

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。
Time was literally flying faster than you could blink. It was already dark. Poor George still scratched every inch of his head for some spark of inspiration. Their teacher had asked every student to write a composition. The title was An Unforgettable Weekend. A both interesting and boring topic.
Just as George was wrestling with his composition, there came a knock on the door. It was Eric,his father.“George, since tomorrow is Saturday, we will go and see your grandparents!“ he beamed.“Williams and Jenny? I really miss them!” George jumped with joy, dumping his pen on the desk.After all, George hadn’t been reunited with his grandparents since the outbreak of Covid- 19 in 2020.
Early next morning they began their long journey. George’s grandparents lived in a remote countryside. As Eric was driving, George couldn’t help recalling his past experience staying in his grandparents’. The memories of dusty tracks, some shabby houses and the smelly river still hurt painfully.“Dad, was your hometown beautiful when you lived there?“ George asked curiously.“You bet it! Our life wasn’t good, but the scenery was definitely like a picture,”Eric responded with noticeable pride. But what George worried about was that instead of having an unforgettable day, he would be greeted with unforgettable gray, He had been deeply scared by the smog there.
With a soft brake, the car stopped, pulling George from the edge of a sweet daydream.“Here we are! Home, sweet home!” Eric said, bouncing out, happy as a kid. Out of the car, what George saw was really unforgettable. The old and small house had been replaced by a new and big one, solid and strong. Just as George was wondering what happened, the door opened and his grandparents strode out, wearing big smiles. Approaching George, Williams gave him a tight embrace. Jenny talked eagerly with Eric. Inside the house, they provided updates on each other.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Lunch over, Williams took George to pick strawberries in the field.
