21、Born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in 1915, Isabel Crook has lived a truly incredible life. Isabel witnessed many profound changes that the country has undergone, including the foundation of the People’s Republic of China.
Isabel’s parents were Canadian and arrived in China in 1912. They dedicated themselves to setting up schools and education institutions in southwest China. Crook herself was more interested in anthropology (人类学) and ethnic minorities in China. While Isabel’s parents left China in 1942, Isabel would remain and continues to call the country home to this very day. The 107-year-old has lived 90 years of her life in China.
As a foreign girl born in an Asian country that was undergoing significant changes, she had every reason to be curious about what was going on around her. At the age of 23, Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master’ s degree and began carrying out field research in rural areas in Sichuan Province.
In the early 1940s, Isabel met the British communist David Crook and the two were married in 1942. Their life journey together would continue until David died in 2000. In 1947, the couple was warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reforms taking place in China. In 1948, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPC asked Isabel and David to stay and teach at a newly established foreign affairs school. The school was the forerunner of today’s Beijing Foreign Studies University. The couple brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom, laying vital foundations for foreign-language education in China. Their passion for teaching lasted decades and their students have served as diplomats (外交官) to facilitate China’s peaceful engagement with other countries.
Considering the trials and difficulties Isabel has tackled during her lifetime, we imagine she is weathering the current global storm with the same determination and adventurous spirit that has kept her in China all these years. In a nod to Isabel’s devotion, in 2019 she was awarded the Medal of Friendship, China’s highest award for foreigners who have made economic or social contributions to the country.
【1】What can we know from the second paragraph?
A.Isabel’s parents were born in China.
B.Isabel had a deep affection for China.
C.Isabel’s parents were attracted by the ethnic minorities in China.
D.Isabel left China with her parents for the domestic situation in 1942.
【2】Why was Isabel curious about the situation in China as a young girl?
A.Because her parents nurtured her curiosity from an early age.
B.Because she gained her university education totally in China.
C.Because she was proficient in Chinese and knew Chinese history well.
D.Because she was a foreigner born in China and witnessed great changes.
【3】According to the text, what contribution has Isabel Crook made to China as a teacher?
A.She has carried out field research in rural areas in Sichuan Province.
B.She has laid vital foundations for foreign-language education in China.
C.She has combined Western teaching methodologies with traditional ones.
D.She has served as a diplomat to facilitate China’s peaceful engagement.
【4】Which word best describes Isabel Crook as a foreign expert?
A.Proud.
B.Polite.
C.Independent.
D.Devoted.
22、Origami (折纸) in Reverse
Modern communications can gain privacy with the help of passwords. However, origami would be a better choice three hundred years ago.
Before glued envelopes became common in the 1800s, letters were posted with no security wrapper. Privacy-minded writers relied instead on smart combinations of folds, tucks (褶子), slits (缝) and seals. 【1】 Some, like “chapel fold”, in which the letter turned into its own envelope and scaled, were the equivalent of simple locks.
But information about the practice is scarce. Most historical letters survive in their opened form, leaving fans like Ms. Dambrogio with little to go on but crease-marks (折痕) and tears. 【2】 For example, it seems impossible to read the letters without permanently damaging the letterlock. Now, in research published in Nature Communications, Ms. Dambrogio and her colleagues have come with a solution.
The letters in question are part of the Brienne Collection, a treasure of thousands of undelivered 17th-century letters given to offspring by Dutch postmasters. 【3】 To get at their letters’ contents while keeping the locks undamaged, the team turned to X-rays and computers.
【4】 This meant that X-ray scanner could reliably distinguish the metallic letters from the paper background. Once the scanning had been done, with the location of folds and creases mapped, the resulting model could be virtually unfolded by a computer to reveal the hidden text. Although no big secrets have yet emerged from the Brienne Collection, the technique seems to hold plenty of promise for future research into a fascinating historical practice.
A.However, the few that remain unopened present some different problems.
B.Though some imperfections remain, it has a bright future.
C.The key lay in knowing that the inks used at the time often contained iron.
D.This practice is what Jana Dambrogio at MIT called “letterlocking”.
E.Origami has attracted a lot of attention from all over the world.
F.The collection includes 577 unopened, letterlocked official letters.
23、When leaving school, I was pleased that my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university. But I also wanted to travel before starting my course. A friend of mine told me about the Schools Exploring Society, an organization which helps students take a gap year (a year between leaving school and going to college). It has three foreign journeys a year, taking 16-20-year-olds on science and nature trips. I love being outdoors, and a mountaineering trip to Alaska was on offer. So I signed up immediately.
There was one problem, though. I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip. It was a big task, but I managed to make it. I washed cars, worked in a cafe and also sold off some of my old books, clothes and CDs. Then, just before starting out, I started worrying. Can I do this? Am I fit enough? What if I see a bear?
Seventy of us traveled to Alaska. The first two days after arrival were spent in a school hall preparing our equipment and five tons of food. Then we left for the beautiful Talkeetna Mountain. On the trip we dug paths and recognized plant species. Then we climbed a mountain that was over 6,000 feet high. It was tiring but exciting.
Looking back, a gap year was so right for me. I learned a lot about accepting other people for what they are. We had to help each other and it made me less selfish. My gap year has also made me more able to concentrate. Now, whenever Tm worried about anything, I think I did Alaska-I can do this!

24、Roy Austin first experienced an African adventure in 2018. All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife. Although Roy did realize this dream, he found something even more meaningful in Africa.
Roy spent time in many countries throughout East Africa. He was most interested in the people of rural (农村的) Kenya, especially people of the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School.
During his stay, Roy became friends with several students and teachers at the school. He was deeply touched by their positive attitude, even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies. Even finding basic stationery (文具) was a challenge, not to mention the lack (缺乏) of school buildings.
In rural Kenya, school buildings are not built by the government. Students, their parents, and teachers find materials (材料) and build the schools themselves, or they have to raise money to get builders' help. Without schools, buildings like libraries and classrooms are just dreams. The students and teachers of the schools very much wanted a library or at least some books to read.
After returning home to South Carolina in the United States, the Kenyan students' yearning for something as seemingly “basic” as books to read still worried Roy. He decided to do whatever he could to help these children. So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.
Since it was started, Roy has shipped over 11,000 books to 11 schools in African countries, including Kenya and Tanzania. To keep costs down, he uses the post office to send the books instead of a carrier like FedEx. The organization has helped to supply these schools with much-needed books, which brought Roy much happiness. He plans to continue shipping books to Africa.
【1】What was the main purpose of Roy's 2018 trip to Africa?
A.To see local wildlife.
B.To find the meaning of life.
C.To teach in a primary school.
D.To study the local education.
【2】Which can best describe the students and teachers in rural Kenya?
A.Hopeful and hardy.
B.Honest and decisive.

D.Hunger.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Miss the good days in rural Africa

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。
Walter worked for a food store. He carried food to the homes that ordered it on the telephone. He wore the same clothes every day. He walked in a strange way. When we saw him coming down the street with the food, we would stop playing our games and follow him down the street, trying to walk as he did.
Walter did not bring food to our house. Mother was afraid of him. She went to a different store and brought the food home herself. When Grandmother came to live with us, things changed.
Grandmother liked all sorts of people. During her life, she had made friends with men who drank too much. women who ate too much, and people who were just very lonely.
Grandmother liked people for what they were. If she knew a man who drank too much, she would not tell him to stop drinking. She would tell him how to drink and still be a gentleman. The important thing to Grandmother was that things were done well in the right way and with control.
When Grandmother learned about Walter, she told my mother she wanted Walter to bring food to our house. Mother, of course, was strongly against it. But in vain.
The first time Walter came to our house, they became very close. He told Grandmother he wanted a real friend but did not know how to make friends. Grandmother seemed pleased, and she began to read books to Walter, a little from a book each time he came. The first book was called How to Dress When You Go out With a Friend. The next one was about the problems of early friendship and how to become better friends. Walter seemed to enjoy the readings. At least he listened.
Grandmother almost finished reading one day when Walter stopped her.
“Mrs. Gorman, I have a real friend,” he said. “I like her very much.”
“How wonderful!” Grandmother answered. “I hope you brush your hair and wear a coat when you see her. And you must promise me that you will always be a gentleman.”
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,
The next book Grandmother read to Walter was How to Respect Your Friend.
