21、 There’s a well-known story in the world of literary translators about the translator who was thrilled to see his work appear at great length in an article in a popular magazine. He had translated many novels by a little-known Scandinavian novelist, who he believed had been ignored and not received the attention or praise the novelist deserved. He had devoted much time to trying to get this novelist some recognition. The article agreed with his assessment of the novelist’s works mentioning long passages from his translations.
But something was missing. The translator searched in vain for a mention of his name. It didn’t appear anywhere. The translator’s joy at the coverage（报道）of the author he liked was considerably ruined by this. He felt that he himself should have had some recognition in the article. It was as if the translator did not exist, and all the efforts he had made had never happened.
Most people would agree that it was wrong of the magazine not to mention the translator. However, it is also true that most readers themselves operate in exactly the same way, and for them it is also as if the translator didn’t exist. When people read a translation of a novel, they want to feel they are reading what the novelist, and not someone else, wrote. They don’t want to be reminded that they are not reading, and would not be able to read, the original novel created by the novelist, not wishing to know who the translator was or pay any attention to what they have done.
In this global age, more and more works of fiction are being translated into more and more languages. Readers are now able to experience and understand other cultures more than ever through the reading of translated novels. So the works of more and more novelists can reach people in other parts of the world. This applies not only to new novels but also to fresh translations of old classics.
【1】What can we know about the translator in Paragraph 1?
A.His opinion was shared by the magazine.
B.The novelist’s works were his favourite.
C.He often sent articles to the magazine.
D.The novelist got famous with his help.
【2】How did the translator feel when he looked closely at the article in the magazine?
A.Regretful. B.Proud.
C.Upset. D.Skeptical.
【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The contributions of novel translators.
B.The general attitude towards translators.
C.The readers’ different tastes in literature.
D.The importance of reading original works.
【4】What does the author stress when talking about the global age?
A.The shortage of able novel translators.
B.The number of readers of original works.
C.The value of novels in different countries.
D.The variety of fiction available to readers.
22、If you’ve ever travelled with other people, the chances are you’ve had to make compromises. When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, for example, your friends may argue that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the different food, your friends might say it looks strange and push you to a Chinese restaurant instead.
This is probably why more people these days are choosing to travel alone. According to reports on holiday habits from the Association of British Travel Agents, the percentage of people in the UK who take trips alone has been increasing, from 6 percent in 2011, to 12 percent in 2017, and to 15 percent in 2018. Most of these people said they choose to travel alone because this allows them to “do what they want”.
In fact, travelling alone is only a part of a recent trend (趋势) of people wanting to take more time alone—or what’s called “me time”. “Imagine yourself as a full pot of water and everything else that asks for your attention is an empty glass. When you provide what is needed for them you are using up your own water supply,” Editor Nicole Lyons wrote for the mental health social network Psych Central. “But how are you refilling your pot? This is where your ‘me time’ comes in.”
However, it’s still quite a common belief that those who do things alone are losers and that they’re alone simply because they don’t have anybody to be with. But why can’t people just be enough for themselves?
The now Duchess of Sussex Rachel Meghan Markle once wrote on her blog in 2016 about how she enjoyed taking herself out to dinner and travelling alone. “It’s not easy. But it’s important,” she wrote. You should face everything and encourage yourself to move forward when the feeling of loneliness and boredom sweeps through your body and mind, according to Markle.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “make compromises” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Turn up.
B．Work hard.
C．Give in.
D．Take care.
【2】Why do some people choose to travel alone?
A．To save more money.
B．To enjoy their freedom.
C．To calm themselves down.
D．To avoid troubling someone.
【3】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A．Explain why we need “me time”.
B．List some examples of “me time”.
C．Provide some advice for readers.
D．Add some background information.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A．A new way of travelling abroad
B．Me time: enjoy yourself alone
C．The disadvantages of travelling alone
D．How to find a proper partner in trips
23、 Even as a child, the best-known North American woman painter, Frida Kahlo exhibited an independent, rebellious spirit and lack of restraint that often got her into trouble.
At the age of six, however, Frida's life changed dramatically. She got polio and confined to her bed for nine months. The disease left Frida's right leg shorter and thinner than her left, and when she had recovered enough to return to school, she walked with a limp. She was often teased by her playmates, and although that was emotionally painful for her, she compensated by being outgoing and gained a reputation as a "character".
A turning point occurred in Frida's life in September, when she was involved in a near-fatal accident. The bus in which she was riding home after school crashed into a trolley car. The impact caused a metal rail to break loose, piercing Frida's entire body with the steel rod. The red Cross doctors who arrived and examined the victims separated the injured from the dying, giving the injured first priority. They took one look at Frida and put her with the hopeless cases.
The doctor eventually treated Frida, and miraculously she survived. She suffered a broken spine and two broken ribs. Her right leg was broken in 11 places, and her right foot was smashed. Her left shoulder was dislocated. From that point on, Frida Kahlo would never live a day without pain.
Although Frida recovered enough to lead a fairly normal life, the accident had severe psychological and physical consequences. she had to abandon her plan to become a doctor. Her slowly healing body kept her in bed for months, and it was during this time that Frida began to paint. Some artists look to nature or society for their inspiration, but Frida Kahlo looked inward. After her accident, Frida described her pain in haunting, dreamlike self-portraits. Most of her 200 paintings explore her vision of herself. The Broken Column（1944）, a small deer with Frida's head and a body pierced with arrows runs through the woods.
When she was in her forties, her health seriously declined, but Frida always kept her lively spirit. By then she was internationally known. When a Mexican gallery wanted to have a major exhibition of her work, she arranged to have her elaborately decorated, four-poster bed carried into the gallery so that she could receive people.
【1】Polio left Kahlo with a limp, and as a result she became________.
A．shy and withdrawn
B．polite and graceful
C．friendly and unconventional
D．weak and silent
【2】Kahlo began to paint________.
A．when she was still a child
B．after she suffered from polio
C．after a serious traffic accident happened
D．while she was already in her forties.
【3】Which of the following doesn't describe Kahlo's artwork?
A．She painted many beautiful landscapes.
B．She painted pictures showing pain and suffering
C．She often used herself as a subject for her work
D．Her painting only reflected her inner world.
【4】At the time of her death, Kahlo was________.
A．still an unknown artist
B．sorry she had taken up art
C．not accepted as an accomplished artist
D．a famous North American woman artist

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。
Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Walk. She was a good girl, but she never liked her name as all the kids around her made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Walk never really had friends. She would play alone all the time.
One day, Walk went to her favorite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river in her own way. Today, when talking to the river, she said, “You are so fortunate, as you get to travel to different places and always be with your friends—ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”
When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip（打水漂）them across the river like her dad did. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly in her fingers, and said to the river, “Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Walk waved her arm back just like her dad had taught her and threw the stone with full strength.
She watched the stone skip once, twice... and to her amazement, the stone went on skipping and eventually, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Walk was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.
Her deep thoughts and happiness were disturbed when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Walk looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Walk panicked and hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off too.
The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Walk pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding. She said gently to the little girl, “It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”
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。
Once they arrived at her house, Walk called out, “Mom, help! Someone is injured.”
