21、 When Columbus‘sailed the ocean blue in 1492’ he wasn't looking for America,he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.
The Spanish were after the riches of Asia:silk,dates, spices.Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East,trade with China depended on the Silk Road.The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth,so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East.Eventually a way appeared;as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards,the overland route diminished.

Other places featured include Xi'an,the former capital of China,where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife.From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan,China's western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.

23、It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was 7:00 in the morning and there weren't many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in front of me. She was trying hard to get up but fell once more. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said, "Thank you," with a smile and then rode away. The words "Thank you" warmed me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.
Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. “Let's share,” the girl next to me said." And hi, I'm Carrie." I looked up. It was the girl I helped that morning. What a surprise!
From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.

24、It's been a year since the dramatic rescue of the 12 members of the junior football team and their Coach from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. The rescue put a spotlight on cave exploration and the adventures that people can have underground. Caves have an almost primal(原始的)appeal—they hold the secrets to our past and are mysterious in themselves. They are home to mini-ecosystems that could not exist above ground.
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, USA
The longest cave system in the world lies beneath the Green River Valley in Kentucky, and while over 400 miles of passageways have been mapped, it has yet to be fully explored. The complex limestone labyrinth(石灰岩迷宫)was discovered by humans 4,000 years ago and is home to a rich habitat of many rare animals, including eyeless fish and cave salamanders(火蜥蜴).
Avshalom Cave Nature Reserve, Beit Shemesh, Israel
Also known as the Soreq Cave Nature Reserve, Avshalom is considered to be the Rosetta Stone(罗塞塔石碑)of climate history in the Eastern Mediterranean due to thickly packed stalactites(钟乳石)found in the cave, some of which are over 13 feet long and are as old as 300,000 years.
Crystal and Fantasy Caves, Hamilton Parish, Bermuda
A truly magical experience below the earth, these caves were formed in the Pleistocene Era(更新世), but only found by humans just over 100 years ago. Groups of crystals and stalactites hang above a crystal-clear pool that is a mix of fresh and salt water and is almost 60 feet deep.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom at Edgewood Elementary School in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, she received a call from Ann Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter's tools for online learning.
Julia immediately knew something was wrong with Ann. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Julia had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were so jumbled(混乱的)that Julia could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Ann had fallen four times that day. Julia called her principal, Charlie Lovelady, who assured her that he would call and check on Ann himself.
Just like Julia, Charlie could barely understand Phillips. He suspected she might be having a stroke(中风)—he recognized the signs from when his own father had suffered one. Charlie was able to make out the word "kids" and immediately became concerned that Ann's two grand-children, aged six and eight, were probably home alone with her—she is their primary guardian—and scared. Charlie asked his office manager to send an ambulance to the grandmother's home. Then Charlie called Vandiebilt Mathews and Keytria But-Walker, two deans in the school district, to tell them what was going on. Both of them dropped everything and drove to the family's home.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
When they pulled up less than ten minutes later, the emergency workers were treating Phillips.
