21、 I’m Helen Blevins. I’m very lucky because I make money by doing what I love-painting pictures.
I painted my first picture when I was just four. One day, when Mom was cooking. I painted a picture on one blue wall of my bedroom. I painted myself and my dog on the grass, with red flowers around. I painted the sun above us, with a big smile on its face.
I was still painting when Mom walked into my room. Her mouth was open and she stood there quietly, looking at the wall. “I’m in big trouble,” I thought. So I was really surprised when Mom said, “What a beautiful picture, Helen!” The picture stayed on my bedroom wall and is still there today, 30 years later. I see it every time I go home to visit Mom.
I tell this story because it shows how much Mom supported(支持)my love of painting. When I was at school, she cared about my art as much as other subjects. She kept all my paintings and hung many of them on the walls of our house. She often said, “You are so talented. Follow your dream.”
Today I’m a successful painter. I’m happy that people love my paintings and hang them in their homes. I will never forget Mom’s great support!

24、 For many animals, the sea is a dangerous place. Overfishing and pollution are killing many sea animals. But the number of cephalopods (头足类动物) – sea animals that include octopi (章鱼) and squid (鱿鱼) – has been growing for the past 60 years.
Zoe Doubleday is a scientist and she did a study of cephalopods. She says cephalopods’ special abilities made their numbers to grow.
① These animals can change their colour and body shape. They grow fast and live for only one or two years. “This allows them to get used to changing environments more quickly than other sea animals,” Doubleday said.
② What’s more, rising sea temperatures might make animals age faster, she says. They might be growing faster and giving birth to more babies.
③ So people can find them in both cold and hot places. Because they can easily get used to their environment, they are known as the “wild grass of the sea”.
④ Will octopi and squid take over the world one day? According to Doubleday, that won’t happen. The growth of cephalopods could slow down if the animals run out of food and start eating each other. Overfishing could also change their numbers.
For now, the cephalopod growth is good news for other sea animals. “The growing number of cephalopods could be good for sea animals and birds that eat cephalopods,” Doubleday said.
【1】According to the first paragraph, what is happening to sea animals?
A.They are getting used to dirty water.
B.They are running out of food.
C.They are being killed by overfishing and pollution.
D.They are being caught and kept in zoos.
【2】What helped the number of cephalopods to grow?
A.Their ability to change their colour and body shape.
B.Their ability to grow more slowly than other animals.
C.Their ability to change their body temperature.
D.Their ability to eat other sea animals.
【3】“Cephalopods live in all of the world’s seas.” The sentence can be put in ________.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
【4】According to the article, the cephalopod growth now ________ .
A.makes the sea full of wild grass B.makes the sea full of cephalopods
C.harms some sea animals D.is good for some sea animals
25、根据首字母提示补全短文。
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were n【1】 plants. This is because plants can make food from air, w【2】 and sunlight. A【3】 and humans cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and o【4】 animals. So animals and humans need plants to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants a【5】 us.
If you look c【6】 at the plants around you, you will find that there are two k【7】 of plants: flowering planst and non-flowering (不开花的) plants. Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits p【8】 the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. B【9】 a few fruits have no seeds at all.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall in w【10】 and shady (阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.
