21、 Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking.
Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer. Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65℃, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus（食道）. The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70℃ or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.
In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages（饮料）at very high temperatures.
In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60℃.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-drinkers in Iran and mate-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70℃.
The researchers find that South Americans not only drink their mate very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw. This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.
The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic（致癌的）. The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink.
The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.
【1】What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?
A. Smoking.
B. Alcoholic drinks.
C. Unhealthy vegetables.
D. Hot drinks.
【2】Where do tea-drinkers like adding milk?
A. In China.
B. In Iran.
C. In Europe.
D. In South Africa .
【3】What does the underlined word “scalding” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. sweet. B. cold.
C. hot . D. tasteless.
【4】Which of the following descriptions is TRUE?
A. Once, the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.
B. Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophagus cancer.
C. Temperature should not be the cause of cancer.
D. Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.
22、 People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines ( 宗教圣殿). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents (居民) of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid ( 全部客满) every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude (清净自在). They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
【1】The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____.
A.they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B.they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
C.they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home
D.they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
【2】In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned _____.
A.to tell us how wealthy their residents are
B.to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate
C.to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty
D.to prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle
【3】The latter half of the last sentence in Paragraph 3, “or one tourist for every person living in Spain” means _____.
A.all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists
B.every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year
C.every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
D.every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country
【4】According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A.Rainy weather B.Polluted water C.Traffic jams D.Crowded buses
23、Standing on the edge of the plane, my tandem skydiving (双人跳伞) instructor, Bill, asked “Do you have any last words?” “Yes,” I said, joking. “I hope my parachute opens.”
I’d never felt more alive as Bill and I stepped out and started our freefall. Those first few seconds were amazing. As we reached 4,000 feet, I felt a parachute open above us. This, I was told , would slow us down for a smooth descent (下降). So why were we still traveling so fast? I looked up: The parachute was flopping unopened in the wind. I started to freak out. I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to fix whatever had gone wrong. Seconds passed, which felt like forever, until finally our emergency parachute opened. Except it got caught in the first one, making both parachutes useless. I asked Bill, “Are we going to die?” He said he didn’t know. At that moment, I just felt guilty. I’d brought my family along for the day. I’d invited them along to watch me die.
We hit the ground. I was immediately breathless, and an unimaginable pain shot up my back as we bounced into a lake on a golf course(高尔夫球场). Gathering all my strength, I turned to face Bill. He started screaming. We were found by some golfers. My mother and sister cried uncontrollably as Bill was put into a helicopter, and I was placed into an ambulance. The next four or five months were intense. I had broken my back. After being discharged (出院) from the hospital, I locked myself in my bedroom and took painkillers. I became terrified of the outside world.
After years of therapy(治疗) and hard work, the deep physical and mental pain is healing. I heard that Bill made a full recovery and returned to skydiving. I was always terrified of being myself and doing the things I wanted. Now I’ve learned that I need to be fearless. There’s nothing like falling from 15,000 feet without a parachute and surviving to force you to make the most of every day.

24、15 year-old Maddi went to an evening party with some boys without parental permission, playing late into the night. So her dad gave her a choice---either handing over her phone for a month, or giving him right to use her social media for two weeks. She chose the latter, giving Dad the keyword to her TikTok, and the Internet is so appreciative.
Maddi’s dad began to take over her social media early in November, so her followers could expect “some amazing posts, photos and short videos from her dad”. On November 11, Larry, Maddi’s dad, had already begun his funny performance to embarrass his teen daughter, by posting a selfie(自拍), titled “Felt cute. Might delete later”. But that was only the beginning, and by her dad's third post, the teen was already begging him to take away her phone for a month.
“After the first day, Maddi changed her mind and wanted to choose the one month,” the girl’s mother Tawnya couldn’t help laughing when interviewed by TODAY.com. “Larry told her, ‘No. I’m too fascinated. I have too many ideas. We’re sticking with the two weeks.’ He’s loving it. I think he’s gonna make his own TikTok account(账号) when this is over.”
From posing in a tight top and wearing a blonde wig(假发), to ballet dance, it seemed like there was nothing the 43-year-old daddy wouldn’t do to entertain, and Maddi’s friends and social media followers were attracted.
Over the two weeks, Madddi’s Instagram fans jumped from around 2,700 to 12,700, at the time of this writing, so she should probably thank her dad for the punishment. The only question is, can she continue Dad’s style? She’ll have to try, as many of her social media followers are already asking her to “bring Dad back”.
“We’re always down to embarrass our kids!” Tawnya Ford said; adding that her husband often picks up their kids from school dressed as Donald Duck.
【1】Why did Maddi let her dad use her TikTok?
A．She wanted to share with him.
B．She wanted to amaze her fans.
C．She had wasted too much time.
D．She had broken the family rule.
【2】What made Maddi change her mind after the first day?
A．Her fans, expectation.
B．Her mother’s words.
C．Her dad’s funny posts.
D．Her addiction to the Internet.
【3】How did Maddi’s mother sound when speaking to the interviewer?
A．Stressed and serious.
B．Excited and Proud.
C．Nervous and anxious.
D．Relaxed and amused.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Result of Dad’s Punishment
B．Maddi’s Two -Week Offline Life
C．Dad Helps Daughter Gain Fans
D．Dad Took over Daughter’s TikTok

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。
Last week I was in the supermarket. I got to the front of the queue and put my groceries through the checkout. When it was time to pay, I realized that I left my bank card at home, and I didn’t have enough money with me. All I had was a ten-dollar bill and some coins in my wallet. I was short by at least five dollars, but I needed to buy most of the items.
I started to apologize to the checkout assistant. “I’m sorry,”I said. “Can I put these things back? And then I think I’ll just take these. Oh no, I need that. Rather put this through.”
A lady was standing behind me, next in the queue. “Excuse me, sir,” she said.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” I replied. “I am holding you up. ”
“Of course not. I know how you feel. This happens to all of us at some point. Now let me just use my card to pay the balance for you and you can be on your way. ”
I was surprised by her kindness, embarrassed though. No matter how much I insisted otherwise, she was determined to help me. Afterward, I thanked her and asked for her telephone number to get in touch and pay her back.
“No,” she said. “I’d rather you paid it forward.”
“Pay it forward” means to do a good deed for the next person in need. In the Italian city of Naples, for example, there is a long tradition of paying for a coffee for another person. There, wealthier people pay a “caffè sospeso”(suspended coffee) for others, which is then given by the waiter to the next person who cannot afford a cup of coffee. Also, someone who experiences good luck buys two cups but only receives one. The other goes to another person who needs it. This, according to Benjamin Franklin, is “a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money.”
The next day, I saw two firefighters eating at the restaurant where I worked as a waiter. They seemed to have just finished a tough job because they both looked very exhausted and hungry.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I recalled the lady’s words.
