21、Do you feel like you are not living the life you want? It’s your life, so why does it seem like you are not in control? Below are some important lessons for life.
You are constantly (一直) comparing yourself to others. 【1】 It will mostly contribute to making you feel more miserable (痛苦的) because it produces a lot of bad emotions. Comparing yourself to others is pointless because we all have our own unique paths to follow. 【2】 This will help you grow and constantly improve yourself.
You are afraid of change. Why are most people afraid of change? Mostly because we fear the unknown, and anything that threatens our serenity (平静) is seen as problematic. But it does not have to be this way. 【3】 It teaches us to adapt to situations we never knew we could. It helps us discover ourselves. Accepting change also helps us to be more adaptable in life. This will afford you more possibilities and opportunities in your life.
You are wasting time on things you cannot control. The painful truth is that there are many things that you cannot control in your life. 【4】 How do you stop wasting time on things that are out of your control? Start by finding out what is within your control, such as your attitude, goals and decisions. Then think about what you cannot control, such as other people’s values and behaviours. 【5】
Putting these important lessons for life into practice will surely improve your life.
A．As Mark Twain said, comparison is the death of joy.
B．In fact, being able to accept change has many benefits.
C．Spend more time on the things that are within your control.
D．Change must happen, so you might as well learn to enjoy it.
E．A better approach would be to compare your present self to your future self.
F．The information you are using as a basis for your judgement is likely incorrect.
G．The sooner you realise that fact, the closer you get to living the life you want.
22、It never occurred to me when I was little that gardens were anything less than wonderful places. Granddad’s garden was on the bank of a river and sloped gently down towards the water. You couldn’t reach the river but you could hear the sound of the water and the birds that sang in the trees above.
At home, his son, my father, could be quiet and withdrawn. I wouldn’t want to make him sound humorless. He wasn’t. Silly things would amuse him. I realize that, deep down, he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t made more of his life. He left school without qualifications and became a beginner to a plumber. Plumbing was not something he was passionate about. It was just what he did. He was never particularly ambitious, though there was a moment when he and Mum thought of emigrating to Canada, but it came to nothing. Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an “eye for the job.” Be it bookshelves or a cupboard—what he could achieve was astonishing.
Of the three options, moors, woods or river—the river was the one that usually got my vote. On a stretch of the river I was allowed to disappear with my imagination into another world. With a fishing net over my shoulder I could set off in shoes that were last year’s model. I’d walk along the river bank looking for a suitable spot where I could take off the painful shoes and leave them with my picnic while I adventured out, peering through the water for any fish that I could scoop up with the net and take home.
I wanted to leave school as soon as possible but that seemed an unlikely prospect until one day my father announced, “They’ve got a post for an gardener in the Parks Department. I thought you might be interested.” He might still have preferred it if I became a carpenter. But I like to feel that somewhere inside him was a feeling that things might just turn out for the best. Maybe I’m cheating myself, but I prefer to believe that in his heart, although he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me doing it for long enough and noticed my unfailing passion for all things that grew and flowered and fruited.
【1】What is the writer’s attitude to his father in the second paragraph?
A．He was unsatisfied with his father.
B．He was regretful that his father had not achieved more.
C．He was sympathetic to the reasons why his father behaved.
D．He was grateful that his father had not taken the family to Canada.
【2】What does the writer mean by the underlined phrase “came into his own”?
A．was able to do something by himself
B．was able to show his talents out
C．was able to continue his day job
D．was able to forget his failure
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．The writer felt angry that the garden was less amazing
B．The writer was an excellent fisherman for his gift
C．The fishing trip illustrated the writer’s carefree childhood.
D．Around the house lied the father’s dream of being carpenter
【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．His father is unsure about his son’s future
B．His father was tired of giving way to his son.
C．His father had been trying to find a job his son would enjoy.
D．His father had been impressed by his son’s love of gardening.
23、THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player.
Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shots and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game... What I want to do is just be myself... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation and a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, and value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to have faith in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has demonstrated that nothing is impossible.

24、 Since 2009, a small army of cats in the Palace Museum have been receiving global social media attention. 【1】 The purpose is to defend wooden structures and priceless relics against mice.
I visited the Palace Museum in the summer of 2018 to research the history of Qing Dynasty. I stayed in a small hotel in one of Beijing's hutong areas for a whole month. 【2】
Before setting out to the capital, I had already conducted some background research on the history of the Palace Museum itself and managed to retrieve an article about the famous palace cats. 【3】
In the third week, as I was walking through the western gates, I was surprised to spot not one. not two, but three cats on the corner of a porch in front of an office. 【4】 The cats ignored me, preferring to take a rest in the shade next to their white painted cat houses.
I spotted three more cats inside the bamboo garden of the employees’ exercise grounds. 【5】 The slightly fats furry cat looked like the real “boss” of the palace as he made his way over to me, staring with his sharp yellow and blue eyes and letting out short, loud meows demanding attention. He was very friendly and content to be scratched behind the ear and even given u belly rub.
For those cat enthusiasts planning on taking a trip to China's capital, these absolutely adorable security guards are definitely worth spending a day in the palace looking for.
A．This time, they played with me for a while.

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 little prince, who lived on a tiny planet, decided to visit his neighbor planets. The first of them was inhabited by a king. Dressed in purple and white fur, he was seated a throne(王座), both simple and majestic((庄严的).
“AH! Here is a subject(臣民)!” exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
“How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?” the little prince asked himself. He did not know the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
“Come a little closer so that I may see you better,” said the king, who felt very proud of being at last a king over someone
The little prince looked around to find a place to sit down, but the entire planet was covered by the king's magnificent robe (长袍). So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned(打哈欠)
“It is impolite to yawn in the presence of a king, said the king. "I forbid you to do so,”
“I can't help it,” replied the little prince in confusion. “I have come on a long journey and I haven’t slept at all…”
“In that case,” said the king, "l order you to yawn. I haven't seen anybody yawning for years. Yawns are a curiosity to me. Come, now! Yawn again. It's an order. "
“You are frightening me…I cannot yawn any more... said the little prince, completely embarrassed.
“Hum! Hum!” replied the king. “Then I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to…”
The king was annoyed for he thought his authority should be respected. He tolerated no disobedience. But as he was a very kind man, he made his orders reasonable.
But the little prince was puzzled. The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
“Sire,” he said to the king, "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question…”
“I order you to put your question to me, the king was quick to reply.
“Sire... over what do you rule?"
“Over everything,” said the king very simply
The king made a sweeping gesture taking in his own planet, the other planets and the stars.
Realizing his rule was not only absolute, but also universal, the little prince marveled(感到惊奇) at such power. As he enjoyed sunsets very much, he plucked up his courage(鼓起勇气) to ask the king a favor.
“I should like to see a sunset. Please do me that kindness. Order the sun to set…”
“You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But, according to my science of government. I shall wait until conditions are favorable(有利的).”
“Hum Hum!” replied the king, checking his big calendar. “It will. be around…around.. it will be this evening about twenty minutes to eight. And you shall see how well I am obeyed.”
The little prince yawned. He was regretting his lost sunset. And then, too, he was becoming a little bored.
“I have nothing more to do here,” he said to the king. "So I shall set out on my way.
“Do not go,” said the king, who was very proud of having a subject.” I'll make you a minister!”
And when will that be?" asked the little prince
“Minister of what?”
“Minister of…of Justice! (司法部长)
Paragraph 1
“But there’s nobody here to judge!” said the little prince. ……
Paragraph 2
But the little prince, having completed his preparations for departure(离开,启程) had no wish to hurt the feelings of the old king…….
