21、 I watch from the wooden bench in my backyard as the water from the pipe quietly flows out onto the tomato plants. I watch the plants and rest easy, knowing the pipe is taking care of the plants. The drops soon seem to become rivers on the ground.
I see these red-brown ants, crawling(爬行) along around their home. What will happen when the water reaches the ants? Smelling the danger, these poor tiny creatures all run away from the water and rush back to their home. They spend their whole lives working together to create and make better things, but now they are facing the end of it all. I think this is just a reflection of the world. I keep watching as the water first attacks and then surrounds two ants. They struggle to stay floating as the water closes in on them, getting deeper and deeper. I try to get these two to come on my finger, but they refuse to let me save them. The water soon flows over them, as I remain helpless. Only then do they decide to climb onto my dirt-covered finger. Not until facing the moment of death would they trust one like me.
I check to see if they are alive, and both can move fine. Then I go to save other ants. However, the water washes everything away. How much I wish I could turn off this machine of death, but I cannot. I must complete my job.
It knocks me how much these little lives mean to me. When I was a small child, I would make a sport of killing them. Now, I can't hurt an insect, always thinking about what it would be like to be so small.
【1】What is the ants' first reaction as the water approaches them?

A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. Life is likely to be affected by setbacks.
【3】How does the author help save the two ants?
A. He turns off the water pipe. B. He helps them float on the water.
C. He lets them climb onto his finger. D. He changes the direction of the water.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards those ants now?
A. Sympathetic. B. Indifferent.
C. Favorable. D. Cruel.
22、Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.
The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.
Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core (中心部分). The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.
The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canada’s premier (首位的) art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.
The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning, the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval (海军的) base in Kingston.

23、My friend Jim was a well-known radio host, who worked at a radio station all his life. All his colleagues knew him about one characteristic: If he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him, saying, “No one ever sees you. Why do you dress like that?” But he always turned that into a joke.
One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show for the oldest radio employees. For the first time his fans, who only knew Jim by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked, “Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not terrible, but I still want to know why.”
“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I didn't have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean socks was not enough. So I needed to go to the store for new socks.”
The director was surprised. He asked, “Why do you need new socks? You could have come without the socks because we will be filming you only over the waist.”
“ You see, to be perfect, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket,” Jim said. “And if my socks have holes in them or my shoes are dirty, I’m not spotless anymore. And it may make me less confident.”

24、Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year —and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets — not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.
Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items(物品) for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping — big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
【1】Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in .
A．its business-to-business service
B．its big size
C．its not charging small sellers
D．its low price
【2】What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A．Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.
B．Alibaba will continue to develop.
C．Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.
D．Alibaba stands out as the best online site.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.
B．Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
C．TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
D．The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Shopping online in China is TaoBao.
B．Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase in China.
C．Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.
D．How the author purchases online in China.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Hosting an exchange student is a fun and exciting experience for the whole family. However, there are always preparations to be made before the student arrives. What should a family do to help make an exchange student feel at home?
An exchange student comes to explore a foreign culture, and getting on with his or her host family is part of that experience. The host family should be as considerate and kind to the exchange student as possible. If the exchange student is to have his or her own room, the preparation should begin here. This room should be as inviting as possible. The family should find out the student’s favorite color and some preferred accessories（饰物）. They may not want to paint the entire room navy blue（海蓝）, for example, but may want to include navy accessories such as a bedside lamp, trash can, or quilt. The room should ideally（理想地） have a desk, enough storage space and a closet or dresser. It might also be helpful to buy a full-length mirror and mount it on the closet door.
The host family should also check if the exchange student has any special needs and make sure they can meet these special requirements. A wheelchair ramp（斜面） or handrails in the bathroom might be necessary. An exchange student with special needs might even have a service animal, and consideration should be given to this situation as well.
A family should also be prepared for the exchange student to face homesickness（想家）. Most exchange programs have counselors（顾问） and other workers who are used to dealing with this, and they should be consulted as soon as possible. A family should also consult their own family doctor, letting him or her know that they have an exchange student in their home.
