21、While many of our friends are on holiday in foreign places this summer, our family will be staying at home to get away from it all, as we have done for the last five years. We generally just wander about at home and catch up with some reading. The kids are old enough to go off on their own and often go to the local park or open-air pool. When we have visitors, we might go on the day trip somewhere. On the whole, though, we don’t bother going much beyond our local area. It’s a pattern we’re going to stick to for the foreseeable future for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, it’s just much more relaxing. You don’t have any of the inconveniences and annoyances which are so often associated with travelling. And that’s not to mention the kids asking ‘Are we there yet?’ every two minutes or ‘Do we HAVE to go to the museum?’ Honestly, there’s nothing like dragging a couple of teenagers round some Roman remains to put you off that kind of thing for life. All these would inevitably wind me up, which in turn would lead to a quarrel where I would complain about how ungrateful they were, and how anyone else would leap at the chance to see the places we were taking them, and then I’d threaten them that next time we’d just stay at home! Well, finally I carried out the threat—and everyone’s far, far happier!
If the truth be told, I can’t say I ever really enjoyed going sightseeing anyway. I think we were going on holiday simply out of habit and going sightseeing out of some weird sense of duty. I felt it was what you ought to do when you go abroad and that it would be education for the kids. Most of the time, though, these places actually just left me cold. Even the really big monuments, which are genuinely impressive, didn’t move me in the way I expected. Take the Pyramids. I’d always wanted to go and see them. I’d imagined myself traveling through the desert on a camel to reach them, the sun beating down on my back. The reality, when I finally went there, was that I only had to walk through the streets of Cairo in a taxi to reach them. While they are hugely impressive achievements of engineering, you have to battle with crowds of tourists to get anywhere near them, fighting off the crowds of locals as they shout for business, persuading you to change money or to take a camel ride. I don’t blame these people—they’re just trying to earn a living—but frankly, I could’ve done without it and, for me at least, it meant the Pyramids didn’t live up to my expectations.
【1】What do the writer and her family plan to do for holiday this summer?
A．To stay at home.
B．To visit local parks.
C．To go on some trips.
D．To see some friends.

【3】The writer mentioned the Pyramids in order to _____.
A．give an example of how locals make a living
B．criticize tourists for not preserving these historical sites
C．illustrate that famous places are not that enjoyable in reality
D．argue against what some countries do with their big monuments
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Expecting Holidays
B．Holidays in Our Mind
C．Why We Love Holidays
D．Have a Break from Holidays
22、 Morris, a well-known English violinist, had been exhausted from a day of recording at Abbey Road Studios when he exited the Southeastern Railway from London late last month. He was so tired that he didn’t even realize that he had left his beloved violin on the train until the following morning.
The violin is one of the few surviving instruments made by Roman craftsman David Tecchler in 1709. Not only is the violin worth$320,000,but Morris has also been playing the instrument for 15 years.
Feeling panic, Morris contacted the British Transport Police to see if it had been returned; unfortunately, officers checked the footage(录像) and saw that the violin had been picked up by another train passenger. Morris then created social media accounts to beg for the return of his instrument. The footage was shown in the news, and the person responsible for taking the violin was treated as a suspect.
Several days later, Morris received a phone call from someone who recognized the man on the train. Morris was then put in contact with the man who took the violin—and he had apparently been very eager to return the instrument. After promising the man that he wouldn’t be arrested, Morris met him in a parking lot so he could reunite with his beloved instrument.
The man apologized sincerely, saying he wanted to hand it to Morris in person. Morris found the instrument and the contents of its case were still in consummate condition. To his surprise, it was even still in tune(音调准确). Morris was excited and deeply grateful for its return.
“I’m still getting over the shock of its coming back,” Morris admitted in an interview afterwards. Then he played a breathtaking piece of music Amazing Grace on his 310-year-old violin in front of the reporters.
【1】What can we learn about the lost violin?
A.It’s valuable and important. B.It’s a gift from David Tecchler.
C.It’s the only violin Morris owns. D.It’s the oldest violin in the world.
【2】What did Morris do first after he found his violin missing?
A.He spoke to reporters about it. B.He turned to the police for help.
C.He described his situation online. D.He returned to the train to look for it.
【3】What do we know about the man who took the violin away?
A.He knew the violin was unique. B.He got in touch with Morris directly.
C.He was unwilling to return the violin. D.He felt afraid to be punished for his act.
【4】What does the underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Unusual. B.Poor. C.Perfect. D.General.

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。续写词数应为150左右。
A tradesman was leading a caravan (商队) to another country to sell his goods. Along the way they came to the edge of a hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heated up the fine sand until it was as hot as charcoal (木炭), so no one could walk on it — not even camels! Then the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cooled down. The guide sat on the first cart. And they began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again.
Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had been very tired, so when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the camels who, of course, couldn’t tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place that they started from! By then it was morning, and the people woke up and realized they were back at the same spot where they started. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water, and they were worried about there was nothing to drink, and were extremely afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide. However, the leader himself didn’t lose courage. He talked with the desert guide and then they began wandering, trying to work out a plan.
Paragraph 1
Suddenly, the leader noticed a small clump (团) of grass.
