21、 One spring day. once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.
A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, straw-like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, she'll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4.000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth of a tea spoon of me.
The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally—I never go bad.
Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I'd appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much—to you, to me—without ever asking for anything in return.
【1】What does "me" refer to in the passage?
A.The flower. B.The bee.
C.Water. D.Honey.
【2】What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?
A.Bees' special talent. B.Bees’ hard work.
C.Bees' living environment. D.Bees' social behavior.
【3】Which one of the following is true according to the passage?
A.A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.
B.Before "me" is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.
C.The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.
D.Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To appeal for help for honeybees.
B.To talk about the history of a treasure.
C.To put forward techniques for gardeners.
D.To argue against the control of chemicals.
22、 When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos of the city — specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. The parks cover over 23,00 square kilometres, so where do you begin?
Snowdonia
If you're after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1,085 metres high, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5-6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isn't your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the time.
Lake District
For those who feel more at home on the water, the Lake District has over 15 stunning lakes. Ullswater is particularly beautiful and the perfect place for scenic boat trips, sailing or canoeing with friends. Swimming is also popular if you are able to brave the cold. Surrounding the lake are charming villages and vibrant countryside which can be explored on horseback.
White Cliffs of Dover
In the South Downs you'll find one of Britain's most striking views: the White Cliffs of Dover. This is the frst view of England you'll see if arriving by ferry, as long as it's not foggy, of course. Stretching for miles between the blue sea and even bluer skies, the pure white cliffs feature 1n many wartime songs and films. Not convinced? Fear not, London is just over an hour away by train.
【1】If a visitor wants to enjoy the view of 1085 meters high, how much time does he need at least?
A.1 hour.
B.2.5 hours.
C.5 hours.
D.6 hours.

23、Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smart phone to see how many “likes” you’ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.
This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.
Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.
Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night,were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.
Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual online world and connect with the real world instead.
【1】Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?
A.People checking social media frequently.
B.People surfing the Internet regularly.
C.People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.
D.People longing for more messages.
【2】Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para. 4?
A.To introduce the coming topic.
B.To give a more supporting example.
C.To stress the importance of social media.
D.To explain the cause of a social media addict.
【3】Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?
A.Because they have more time and money.
B.Because the virtual world is much more attractive.
C.Because they want to attract more attention.
D.Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.
B.Using smart phones does harm to people’s health.
C.It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.
D.Social media addiction contributes to depression.
24、 The first tip for a good day of ice fishing is to wear the right clothes. You should dress in layers. Wear 2 or 3 shirts, so you can take off a layer when you are warm. Wear a face mask, a warm hat with earflaps over your ears, and warm gloves and boots or shoes.
The second tip is to stay warm. Some people put up cloth tents when they go ice fishing. Some people own small ice houses where they can stay warm. You can use a small heater inside the tent or outside on the ice. Be sure to take a hot drink like hot chocolate. You should move around to stay warm. Some people take ice skates.

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。
Kelsey Gilland and her husband were shopping at PetSmart, looking for a company for one of their dogs, and decided to go and see if they had any adoptable cats that day. The past few times the couple had been to PetSmart hadn’t been any, but that day they were delighted to see two adorable cats hanging out. They were only going to look — but their dog Paisleigh had other plans.
As soon as Paisleigh saw one of the cats, Oliver, she was completely fascinated with him. The instant best friends interacted through the glass and seemed to have a special connection right off the bat.
“When I saw the way they reacted together my husband looked at me and said, ‘Babe, it’s an orange cat, isn’t that what you’ve been wanting?’ Everything in me said, ‘YES! Please, let’s take him home!’”
Gilland was worried about how Oliver would fit in with the family’s two other cats, though, and so the couple left PetSmart without Oliver, much to Paisleigh’s dismay.
That night, Gilland couldn’t stop thinking about Oliver. The way he and Paisleigh connected had been such magic, and she began to think that maybe he was meant to be a part of their family.
“I thought about that sweet kitty all night long and when I woke … I wanted to go back to PetSmart to see if he was still there,” Gilland said. “My husband was all for it. We got dressed and went to PetSmart, we took our own cage because we knew we were bringing him home if he was still there.”
Luckily, Oliver was still there and available for adoption. Due to COVID-19, the couple wasn’t able to do a meet and greet with Oliver before adopting him, but they decided it didn’t matter. They went with Paisleigh’s instincts and took him home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
