21、With a few minor exceptions, there are really only two ways to say “tea” in the world. One is like the English term—té in Spanish and tee in Afrikaans are two examples. The other is some variation of cha, like chay in Hindi.
Both forms come from China. How they spread around the world offers a clear picture of how globalization worked. The words that sound like “cha” spread across land, along the Silk Road. The “tea”—like phrasings spread over water, by Dutch traders bringing the novel leaves back to Europe.
The term cha is Sinitic (汉语语系), meaning it is common to many varieties of Chinese. It began in China and made its way through central Asia, eventually becoming “chay” in Persian. That is no doubt due to the trade routes of the Silk Road, along which, according to a Cha discovery, tea was traded over 2,000 years ago. The Japanese and Korean terms for tea are also based on the Chinese cha, though those languages likely adopted the word even before its westward spread into Persia.
But that doesn’t account for “tea.” The Chinese character for tea, is pronounced differently by different varieties of Chinese, though it is written the same in them all. But in the Minnan variety of Chinese, spoken in the coastal province of Fujian, the character is pronounced “te”. The key word here is “coastal.”
The “te” form used in coastal-Chinese languages spread to Europe via the Dutch, who became the primary traders of tea between Europe and Asia in the 17th century. The main Dutch ports in east Asia were in Fujian and Taiwan, both places where people used the “te” pronunciation. The Dutch East India Company’s expansive tea importation into Europe gave us the French “thé”, the German “Tee”, and the English “tea”.
Yet the Dutch were not the first to Asia. That honor belongs to the Portuguese. And the Portuguese traded not through Fujian but Macao, where “chá” is used. That’s why Portugal is a pink dot in a sea of blue.
【1】Which statement about the term of “cha” is correct according to the passage?
A．It is a variation of té in Spanish.
B．It is used in coastal-Chinese languages.
C．It is based on the Japanese and Korean terms for tea
D．The spread of the version is an example of globalization.
【2】The “te” form spread to Europe by __________.
A．the German
B．the British
C．the Dutch
D．the Portuguese
【3】How does the author mainly develop the text?
A．By giving examples.
B．By rising questions.
C．By drawing conclusions.
D．By presenting research findings.
【4】Where is the passage probably from?
A．A guide book.
B．A novel.
C．A magazine.
D．A book review.
22、 Do you know what makes you happy? Write a list of all the things that make you happy. How many of them are fun? Most of them? So, if you spend your time doing all these fun things, you’ll be really happy, won’t you?
Well, maybe not. For most people, fun isn’t enough for real happiness. Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design. 【1】 If most of the things on your list are about pleasure, that is what you think makes you happy. But you also need activities with purpose.
【2】 It’s easy to do well in subjects you like, but subjects you don’t like are less motivating. They’re not fun for you, but you have to study them so you need to find purpose. An “A” in a subject you hate won’t help the world. 【3】 Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the rest of the group. The purpose becomes helping the team.
Go back to your list of things that make you happy. 【4】 Can you add any? Remember, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose.
Now you need to design a happy life. Paul Dolan believes people should “decide, design, do”. First decide what brings you pleasure and/or purpose -that means your two lists. 【5】 For example, you might love riding a bike but never have time to do it. So, ride to school or the library or the shops. Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck, but we can still design the rest to make more happiness.
A.But can you be part of a study team with friends?
B.How many of them are activities that bring purpose?
C.There are different ways we can find pleasure in things.
D.He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and purpose.
E.If you’re a student, your “job” is studying and passing exams.
F.If you think something makes you happy, then it makes you happy.
G.Then, don’t just think about these activities, fill your life with them.
23、 Faced with a decreasing population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have been used to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and company for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese “workforce” may be Model-T. This seven-foot-tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.
Model-T, whose face unclearly resembles that of a kangaroo, is certainly not the first restocking robot. However, the warehouse robots currently being used by companies are only able to accomplish single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wide range of movement and can be used to restock objects of various sizes, making it perfect for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Named after the classic Ford Motor car, Model-T is not autonomous. Instead, it is operated by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf. Telexistence, the company behind Model-T, says the VR-controlled robots are easier to develop and maintain. They are also ten times cheaper than autonomous robots, which require complex programming.
Model-T’s easy-to-use controls require little training and can be operated from a remote location. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager, believes this capability will enable the chain to employ employees who would typically not work in stores. “There are about 1.6 mllion people in Japan who, for various reasons, show no interest in job hunting,” Kano said.
Though Model-T appears to be breezing through the trials, it is not quite ready to enter the labor force. Besides being a lot slower than human stockers, it is also only capable of lifting packaged items, and cannot grasp loose items such as fruits and vegetables. Telexistence hopes to introduce a faster Model-T within the next two years.
【1】Where does Model-T mainly differ from other robots?
A．It is designed to do tasks repetitively.
B．It can perform various actions.
C．It is in the shape of a kangaroo.
D．It can work all by itself.
【2】What can we infer about Model-T?
A．It needs training to work.
B．It can feel the products.
C．It is simply programmed.
D．It wears special gloves to work.
【3】How does Tomohiro find some Japanese people?
A．They are usually lazy at work.
B．They find excuses for not working.
C．They prefer being employed at stores.
D．They lack enthusiasm for finding jobs.
【4】What does the last paragraph focus on?
A．Model-T’s limitations.
B．Model-T’s bright future.
C．Model-T’s practical uses.
D．Model-T’s trail results.

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。
Miraculous (神奇的) Strength
One chilly, December evening, I was preparing dinner. Suddenly, while setting the table, I heard a tremendous crash from the second floor. It was the kind of rare, heart-stopping noise that instantly struck fear into a mother’s heart. Even the dishes in. the kitchen cupboard rattled (发出咔嗒声)!My seven-year-old son began screaming for help, and I raced up the stairs without even stopping to put down the dinner fork I held in my hand.
Entering my son’s room, I found my frightened toddler (学步的儿童)trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser (衣橱). It had been torn from its wall anchor. I could hear crying as I ran toward him. As I leaned over, I saw his small, bloody face and the terror in his eyes.
I pulled the large dresser off him. At that moment, I felt I could move mountains. I was fearful to look but quickly tried to assess how badly he was hurt. Begging him to stay still, I dialed 911 and began to pray. I prayed for the mercy that spared him and the healing he would need, given that I wasn’t sure of the extent of his injuries. In those minutes before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic situation with both my sons in tears, an inner calm kept me focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me steady.
After the ambulance workers conducted a brief assessment, it was agreed that he should have a more extensive examination since this was a possible chest or head injury. A moment of pause forced me to process what had just happened. I recalled dashing up the stairs with a sense of fear as t0 what 1 would find. In only a few seconds, a lifetime of tender memories replayed in my mind. I had asked myself, “Is he still breathing?” “Are bones broken?” One moment. I was simply preparing dinner; the next. I was tearfully praying for my son’s life.
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。
On the way to the emergency room, I tried to keep him calm.
