21、Seasonal affective disorder(SAD)is a type of depression that sets in or starts in the winter months. 【1】. It is often a cyclical, recurring disorder. You’ll feel depression every winter and begin to feel better each spring.
SAD depression is caused by lowered levels of serotonin(血清素), the mood-affecting brain chemical that is caused by seasonal changes in daylight. Although any amount of outdoor light can help raise serotonin levels, getting light in the morning seems to offer the most benefit. 【2】. In your home or office, try sitting close to a window that faces south. Replacing light bulbs(电灯泡)in your home with full spectrum light bulbs can help because their light is similar to sunlight.
【3】. Exercise raises levels of serotonin and also increases levels of endorphins, which have been shown to fight depression. Moderate exercise such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or swimming is a great way to get started.
Vitamin D is necessary for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine(chemicals associated with depression), so researchers concluded that a link between low vitamin D levels and depression was logical. Scientists recommend one to take vitamin D 2,000 IU daily, 【4】.
Year-end panic refers to the self-reproach(自责)and overall feeling of panic brought about by the approach of the year’s end, often due to a poor financial year and pressure from work and family. 【5】. While regretting for the failed plans in the past year, you can still make resolution to do it better in the coming year.
A．Eating more fish can fight SAD
B．If the weather permits, take a walk
C．where days can be very short in winter
D．but suggest taking more if you get little exposure to the sun
E．Experts suggest that we should avoid competition with others
F．Unlike other types of depression, it may improve as spring comes on
G．Studies have shown that upping your exercise routine can resist SAD
22、 Several years ago, Jim Turner heard a program on the radio for the N.C.Children’s Hospital and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for much-needed programs.
So at the age of 13, Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to help the hospital. His program, known as Heartbeats for Kids, has since raised more than $2,500 for the hospital. “The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could remove the heart from the card and make it beat,” Turner says, explaining how he came up with the name for the program. Now as a 17-year-old high school student, Turner has less time to devote to card-making, because origami costs a lot of labor and each card can take up to 30 minutes to design. But Turner still enjoys origami art and has created designs that have been chosen for exhibits that tour the country and world.
Turner is an engineer and artist. His mother, Peggy Turner, says folding origami has helped her son develop his sense of space for 3-D objects. Turner also provides community service at school and at his church. He was named the Good Spirit of Community Awards for his community service activities, including the Heartbeats for Kids program. In the process of his volunteer efforts, Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to cam the top score of 2,400 on his SAT test.
Making and selling the greeting cards has taught Turner about managing a small business, but most important thing Turner learns is that the cards benefit not only the hospital, but also the people who buy the cards or get the cards. Turner sees it as a way to bring people together.
【1】At first Turner’s purpose of making and selling his cards was to ________.
A.collect money for a hospital B.bring more people together
C.learn how to manage a business D.show his love for origami art
【2】The underlined word “origami” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A.the art of paper cutting B.the art of picture drawing
C.the art of paper folding D.the art of toy making
【3】From Paragraph 2, we can learn that card-making ________.
A.is difficult to learn B.takes time and energy
C.is popular with young people D.makes people active and intelligent
【4】What does the writer tell us about Turner?
A.He has already become a successful businessman.
B.He spends most of his time working for his church
C.He designs a heart in each card that has been made
D.He does well in both his lessons and community service
【5】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.a teenager who makes a difference B.origami art that helps make money
C.offering community service D.making and selling greeting cards
23、I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?
On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. She was pulling back lines out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was littered with piles of raw food: a fish with bulging eyes begging not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil, a bowl of soaking dried fungus back to life, a plate of squids whose backs were crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled bicycle tires.
And then they arrived — the minister’s family and all my relatives. Robert said hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for plates to be passed to them. My relatives whispered with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made faces. Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and pulled out the soft meat. “Amy, your favourite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. I remained silent for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside. But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”
【1】The writer felt ________ upon knowing that the minister’s family had been invited over for Christmas Eve dinner.

A．paint a vivid picture of how busy her mother was
B．explain the reason why her mother created such a menu
C．support the claim that the Christmas menu was strange
D．introduce the typical Chinese dishes served on Christmas Eve
【3】What can be inferred about the writer based on what happened during the dinner?
A．She suffered greatly during the dinner.
B．She hated eating the fish cheek below the eye.
C．She regretted not talking more with Robert.
D．She was picky about the Christmas menu.
【4】Why did the writer’s mother have a talk with her that night?
A．To inform her of the cultural gap between the east and the west.
B．To share her understanding of the word “shame”.
C．To encourage her to become integrated into the local community.
D．To urge her to be proud of her Chinese roots.
24、Anyone who commutes（通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are no alone in facing potential backups.
Ants also commute— between their nest and sources of food . The survival of their habitats（栖息地）depends on doing this efficiently.
When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense（稠密）enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Researchers wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by building bridges of various widths between a colony（群体）of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched, trying to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviors may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a path is. The ants also manage to avoid crashing into each other at high densities, which could really slow them down.
Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely. That's because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans —and more like ants.
【1】What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Commuting.
B．Finding food.
C．Surviving,
D．Avoiding jams.
【2】How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A．By observing closely.
B．By finding out the dense points.
C．By controlling the widths of their path
D．By regulating the numbers of the colony.
【3】How can ants avoid traffic jam according to the research?
A．They follow a special route.
B．They level off at high densities.
C．They never stop or slow down on the way.
D．They release natural chemicals to adjust speeds.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph about the finding?
A．It can help solve traffic problems.
B．It is not what researchers expected.
C．It shows the importance of good teamwork.
D．It is of no use to the development of self-driving cars.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a large family of twelve siblings (兄弟姐妹). We weren’t poor by most standards, but things were difficult for us. My parents never shared their financial worries, choosing instead to let us have a carefree childhood. But I knew that there were times they went without and that certain things my friends had wouldn’t be easy for me to get.
Back in those days, hot lunch was a luxury (奢侈) for the wealthier kids, and hot-lunch buyers sat separately from the students who brought cold lunch. My siblings and I brought lunch from home every day: homemade bread, three cookies, and a small apple. We would look on longingly as the rich kids proudly sat down with their steaming plates of fried chicken or fish sticks and cold milk, sweet peaches and delicious cake.
I never said anything, but my first grade teacher, Mrs. Caruso, must have seen the eagerness in my eyes. One day she quietly pressed a note into my hand and whispered, “Give this to your mother.”
I arrived home and gave my mom the note. She read it and smiled. “Well, Mrs. Caruso said because of all your hard work, she wants to buy your lunch tomorrow.” The next day, I proudly carried my tray of chicken across the cafeteria and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn’t as great as I had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group.
One rainy day, Mrs. Caruso asked me to stay after school. My heart instantly sank. Surely, I must be in trouble! Did she know I hadn’t finished my math homework? Did she see me making fun of Billy on the playground?
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。
Paragraph 1：
After the other students had left, Mrs. Caruso said she was going to drive me home.
