21、 Jake and Ben, both seriously ill, occupied hospital room. Jake, whose bed was next to the room's only window, was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. But Ben had to spend all day and night lying flat on his bed. To kill time the two men began to talk. They talked for hours about everything. As days went by, a deep friendship began to develop between them.
Every afternoon when Jake could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to Ben all the things he could see outside the window. And Ben would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened for all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Grand old trees beautified the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As Jake described all this in exquisite detail, Ben would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon Jake described a parade passing by. Although Ben couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as Jake portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning the day nurse found the lifeless body of Jake, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
Ben was heartbroken. As he looked at the window, an idea suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps he could see for himself what it was like outside. As soon as it seemed appropriate, Ben asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse approved and made the switch for him.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself! He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall!
【1】The underlined word “enlivened” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．busy.
B．expectant.
C．colorful.
D．lively.
【2】Jake described the following outside the window except ________.
A．good weather
B．natural scenery
C．urban architectures
D．special events
【3】What probably made Jake describe to Ben wonderful things outside the window?
A．He wanted to pass the time.
B．He wanted to strengthen the friendship.
C．He wanted to encourage Ben to live on.
D．He wanted to share the beauty with Ben.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．The Roommates in Hospital.
B．The Hospital Window.
C．The Life on the Ward.
D．The Blank Wall.
22、Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. 【1】 Here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. 【2】 For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
Both vary with culture
【3】 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.
Both share emotion
How do you know that I am angry? 【4】 Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. 【5】
A．Different culture makes different music.
B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.
C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.
D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.
E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.
F．Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words.
G．We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
23、 Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, turned 200 years old in 2018! It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel. The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows. To celebrate, New York City s Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book.
The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.
Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.
Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.
Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow. In some ways, it’s not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother.
After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851. Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today.
【1】What do we know about Frankenstein?
A.It exists in different forms of art.
B.It is a romantic fiction.
C.It is not popular with modern readers.
D.It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie.
【2】What did Shelley and the monster have in common?
A.They were quite creative. B.They felt lonely.
C.They had the same character. D.They behaved badly at home.
【3】Why did the author mention Shelley’s sufferings?
A.To show pity to her. B.To introduce her to readers.
C.To make readers understand her novel better. D.To show her difficulty in writing the novel.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Success comes from struggle.
B.Hardship creates a great person.
C.Shelley’s experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein.
D.Frankenstein comes into the market.
24、Urban swans might be born with a daredevil gene that makes them less fearful of humans, compared with their rural colleagues.
A study has found swans living in cities tend to be bolder and it is at least partly determined by a gene called DRD4. Birds with this gene could therefore be better adapted to settling in more populated areas, while more timid（胆怯的）swans would escape to less inhabited regions.
It could help to explain why swans in public parks and on urban rivers have a reputation for being so aggressive towards humans - they are simply not afraid of us.
Biologists from some universities in Australia, tracked and collected blood samples from black swans living in two wetlands near cities. One group of swans lived in a recreational urban park, while the other occupied a waste-water processing site out of town. The two areas were less than 20 miles apart. Later, from 2011 through 2013, the researchers started systematically scaring the swans at both sites. The researchers approached the birds and calculated how close they could get before they flew away. As expected, they noticed that while rural swans started flying away if a human was closer than 119 meters, the scientists could come as close to urban swans as 39 meters before taking off.
Analyses of the blood samples, in fact, showed that 83 per cent of the less cautious swans presented the same genetic DRD4 variation（变异)while rural swans have different genetic makeups resulting in more wariness(谨慎，小心）.
The researchers conclude that swans with the bold variation of the gene might choose to live in urban environments, as they tend to be less bothered by human presence.
【1】The underlined word in paragraph 1 means__________.
A. timid B. cautious
C. bold D. stubborn
【2】What’s the difference between rural swans and urban ones？
A. The rural swans carry more DRD4.
B. The urban swans are more friendly.
C. The urban swans are less scared of people.
D. The rural swans are aggressive towards humans.
【3】What does DRD4 refer to ?
A. a kind of blood. B. a kind of food.
C. a kind of genetic variation. D. a kind of swan.
【4】What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The living habit of swans.
B. The living environment of swans.
C. The contribution of the biologists.
D. The process and result of the research.

26、阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
History is a topic that many find boring to study or a waste of time. But there is more to studying history than meets the eye. Then “Why is history important?”
History can help us become better informed citizens. It shows us who we are as a collective group, and being informed of this is a key element in maintaining a democratic society. This knowledge helps people take an active role in the political forum through educated debates and by refining people’s core beliefs. Through knowledge of history, citizens can even change their old belief systems.
By looking at specific stories of individuals and situations, you can test your own morals and values. You can compare it to some real and difficult situations individuals have had to face in trying times. Looking to people who have faced and overcome adversity can be inspiring. You can study the great people of history who successfully worked through moral dilemmas, and also ordinary people who teach us lessons in courage, persistence and protest.
We learn from past sufferings against groups of people; genocides, wars, and attacks. Through the collective sufferings, we have learned to pay attention to the warning signs leading up to such sufferings. Society has been able to take these warning signs and fight against them when they see them in the present day. Knowing what events led up to these various wars helps us better influence our future.
The skills that are acquired through learning about history, such as critical thinking, research, assessing information, etc, are all useful skills that are sought by employers. Many employers see these skills as being an advantage in their employees and will hire those with history degrees in various roles and industries.
Understanding past events and how they impact the world today can bring about empathy and understanding for groups of people whose history may be different from the mainstream. You will also understand the suffering, joy, and chaos that were necessary for the present day to happen and appreciate all that you are able to benefit from past efforts today.
