21、In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
【1】What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A．His friends' invitation.
B．His interest in the country.
C．His love for teaching.
D．His desire to regain health.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Developing a serious mental disease.
B．Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C．Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D．Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
【3】Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?
A．Romantic.
B．Eventful.
C．Pleasant.
D．Dangerous.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A．To introduce a book.
B．To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C．To remember a writer.
D．To recommend a travel destination.
22、When structural engineer Peter James arrived at the Bent Pyramid, his task was to secure the structure’s remaining “coat”—its smooth external envelope. But why was it collapsing in the first place?
The foundation seemed completely stable. The current theory—that “the missing coat was removed by local opportunist thieves”—didn’t inspire confidence: That could explain the destruction at the lower levels, but the damage extended far up the pyramid and “in an apparently random manner, with no signs of hollow from temporary scaffolding (脚手架) or of any cutting of the blocks to aid removal,” James writes in a structural engineering trade publication. The damage just did not look like the result of thieves. Rather, as James puts it, it “appears to be caused by a giant whose hand has swept across the face of the pyramid with enormous energy, sucking out the facing and leaving the rough empty sockets (底座).”
So, what was causing the collapse? James presents a new explanation: thermal movement—that is to say the expansion and contraction of the limestone (石灰石) with temperature changes—has ground down the rocks and shifted their positions. During the day, the temperature rises to 40°C across the face of the outer cover, then at night cools to 3⁰C because of the lack of cover and exposure to the winds. This gives an average daily temperature shift of 37°C. The photographs of the Bent Pyramid show how thermal expansion has caused the blocks to move to the edges, where they have separated.
He estimates that the motion can amount to 1¼ inches per 328 feet. As the stones move, dust and sand would fall from the stones and fill in the spaces between them. The spaces into which they could contract at night would shrink, and over time they would be pushed out of position. “Multiply this endless movement by the number of days that the pyramid has been built and you have the reason why all the outer cover has moved to the extremities and then fallen off,” James writes. “It may then have been picked up by opportunists and removed from the site.”
The Bent Pyramid is one of the best preserved and, as a result, it provides a unique opportunity for studying how the collapse is happening. James theorizes that the reason the Bent Pyramid keeps its cover, while the Red Pyramid and the Great Pyramid “have virtually none” is that, ironically, the Bent Pyramid had worse construction to begin with. As the Egyptians became more skilled, and developed more accurate construction techniques, the space between the stones disappeared, and the structures were less able to absorb the expansion and contraction of the limestone. The other, more perfect pyramids may have developed external cracks rather quickly, and, James assumes, may be why eventually the Egyptians moved their burial grounds to the Valley of the Kings. The pyramids’ perfection became their imperfection.
【1】According to the passage, what happened to the Bent Pyramid?
A．Its structure was fixed by James.
B．Its coat was stolen by local thieves.
C．The foundation was strengthened.
D．Parts of its outer covering fell apart.
【2】The word “thermal” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．lasting for a limited time
B．affecting the structure of something
C．relating to or caused by heat
D．relating to the weather in an area
【3】By “The pyramids’ perfection became their imperfection”, the author means ________.
A．the more skilled Egyptians neglected the space between the stones
B．the precise construction prevented thermal movement in the pyramids
C．the Egyptians moved their graves because the pyramids were too perfect
D．the Bent Pyramid was preserved with accurate techniques while others were not
【4】The passage is mainly about ________.
A．a new theory about the collapse of a pyramid
B．the Bent Pyramid that is one of the best preserved
C．an engineer who secures the structure of pyramids
D．a comparison between the Bent Pyramid and other pyramids
23、It is common to see most live streamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a live streaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.
Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300,000 followers.
Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there—by being a live streamer with the help of her cousin.
At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes.
“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development in these new times,” she said.
Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loud Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one, product and one live streaming host of its own”. She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project, “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen as a respectable job too.” said Zeng.
【1】What do we know about Zeng’s live streaming career?
A．It was encouraged by her sick grandmother.
B．It brought her a fortune as soon as it was started.
C．It was a great success with the help of her parents.
D．It inspired more local villagers to follow.
【2】What is Zeng going to do from the last paragraph?
A．Invite more young people to her hometown.
B．Train more social media influencers in her county.
C．Expand her business to make more money.
D．Produce more agricultural products to help the farmers.
【3】Which of the following best describes Zeng?
A．Down-to-earth and ambitious.
B．Responsible and modest.
C．Gifted and faithful.
D．Caring and fashionable.
【4】What may be the best title of the passage?
A．A way of ordinary people’s better life
B．A travel path to the country areas
C．An approach of a village girl’s success
D．A road to Rural revitalization
24、I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals(脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.
【1】How was the author when he was on the bike first?
A．He didn't know where he would be going.
B．He thought balancing himself was easy.

C．Stop practicing bicycling.
D．Go on to ride a bike.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards his grandfather?
A．Supportive.
B．Grateful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Negative.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

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。
I live in a city where jobs are difficult to get and if you want to find a well-paid job, it will be even harder. Therefore, it is not surprising for you to see many people in our city walk a long way because they can’t even afford an old used car.
It was a cold windy day. I saw one of these people who often have to walk from and to work every day, when I was driving after work. A middle-aged man wearing only a thin overcoat was walking down the road and trying to ask for a ride from the passing cars. Unluckily, there was no driver willing to stop their cars. When I saw two cars in front of me pass him by, I wanted to do the same. But the sight of that poor man remained in my mind for quite a moment. I felt as if a big hand was dragging me and forcing me not to leave. Finally I drew back and gave him a ride.
As I drove along, we had a conversation, during which he told me something about himself and his family. I learnt that the man was doing everything he could to support his family using the limited salary from several part-time jobs. As you could imagine, every coin he earned was going to be used to pay for the house and food.
It was a long drive before we got to his home. All the way, I could feel his hardship and tiredness. But as we came close to the house where he was living, I saw his tired eyes grow bright and the whole body was lit up. His lovely girl was playing in the front yard. Seeing her father was out of the car, she ran to him as quickly as possible, reaching out her two small hands. He held the girl with his two strong hands, laughing and kissing her cheeks. I was lost in that happy moment. I smiled, said goodbye to them, wished them the future happiness and then drove off.
