21、 When old people live with children and other relatives the relationship is not always a happy one. Even old parents and adult children who live separately can have difficulties. Here the generation gap becomes most visible as the needs and interests of the middle-aged and old diverge. Some middle-aged children are so annoyed by the demands of their parents that they make such comments as “Why don’t the old fools die?”
Although such ugly comments exist, a survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons reflects a positive attitude by American population towards the old. That survey showed that 69% adult children have weekly contact with their mothers and 20% have daily contact with their mothers. Other surveys have shown that 40% of adults have face-to face contact with their parents once a week.
The 2014 National Survey of Family and Household (NSFH) showed that 78% of adults view their relationship with their mother and father as excellent. Only 0.03% of those surveyed viewed that relationship as “bad”. The remainders were ambivalent in their perception of their parents. This finding is confirmed by much older studies of the same phenomenon also conducted by the National Survey of Families and Households.
Of those surveyed, 66% contacted their parents once a week or more and only 10% did not contact their parents at all. In part, this is a product of the distance at which adult children live from their parents. The 2014 survey showed that 67% of adult children live within 100 miles of their parents and that 38% live within ten miles of their parents. However, a full 20% of those surveyed live 1,000 miles or more away from their parents.
【1】According to the passage, the relationship between most American old people and their adult children is
______.
A. terrible and distant B. annoying and difficult
C. great and close D. neither good nor bad
【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “diverge” in paragraph 1?
A. differ B. meet C. exist D. transfer
【3】From the passage, we learn that ______.
A. generation gap becomes invisible if old parents and adult children live separately
B. relationship between parents and children has become much better than before
C. some old parents would rather die because their children are annoyed at them
D. living far away may lead to people’s less or no contact with their parents
22、One day Thomas Alva Edison was given a letter by his teacher. His teacher asked him to give it to his mother. Edison thought it was something nice. After he returned home, he proudly gave it to his mother, saying “My teacher let me give this letter to you.”
Not knowing what it was, Edison’s mother opened it, and then her eyes opened wide. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her son and read out the letter aloud, “Your child is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself.”
The fact was that Edison liked asking strange questions in class. His teachers thought he was mentally ill. They could no longer stand him and decided to stop him from going to school. However, Edison’s mother didn’t give up on her son. She taught him at home.
Many years after Edison’s mother died and he was already one of the greatest inventors, one day he was looking through the old family things. Suddenly he saw a piece of folded paper in the corner of a drawer. He took it and opened it up. It read, “Your son is addled (mentally ill). We won’t let him come to school any more.”
Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child, but, by his hero mother, he becomes the genius of the century.”
Having faith in those we love is very important. We should have faith in those around us. Even if others have given upon you, you should have faith in yourself.
【1】How did Edison’s mother probably feel when reading the letter?
A. relaxed B. sad C. proud D. calm
【2】In the teacher’s opinion, Edison ________.
A. wasn’t hard to train
B. was really a genius
C. was too clever to teach
D. wasn’t a normal child
【3】What did Edison’s mother do after knowing the teachers’ decision?
A. She asked him to invent things.
B. She sent him to another school.
C. She let him get educated at home.
D. She asked him to study by himself.
【4】The passage is meant to show that ________.
A. teachers should love their students
B. parents know their children the best
C. we should have faith in others and ourselves
D. most children can be geniuses if encouraged
23、 Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. "Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today.” "I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . ” he’d say. “Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

24、It was the early 1950s, and I was a member of the A class at Armidale High School in northern New South Wales.
In second and third year we all did General Maths, and our teacher was Mrs Lindsay - Clare Lindsay. Her arrival at our classroom was always quick, "Good morning, everyone!" Then our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.
I've thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic? There're two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us, in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.
"Now we could go down this path, couldn't we? We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn't work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)!" She would put a big cross, and write "NCD" against what she had put down. "Right! Why not go down this new path?" And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun, and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I've never found maths difficult, and I put that skill down to her.
In fourth and fifth years, we divided into the science and arts streams(按学生能力划分的班级), and Mrs Lindsay didn't teach us any more. But as the Leaving Certificate exams were coming, one of my friends became nervous about how much maths he didn't know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Maths paper. "Of course!" she said, and did just that, after school, in her own time. He passed. What a good teacher!
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．What Mrs Lindsay was like.
B．How Mrs Lindsay started her class.

A．She always talked with her students.
B．She knew how to control her students.
C．She had a wide knowledge of maths.
D．She loved her job and her students.
【3】What does the author mean by saying “I put that skill down to her" in paragraph 4?
A．He forgot the maths skill Mrs Lindsay had taught.
B．He found that the maths skill was difficult to learn.
C．He thanked Mrs Lindsay for teaching him the maths skill.
D．He hoped Mrs Lindsay would teach him more maths skills.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Clare Lindsay?

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It is always a great feeling when you have a best friend to talk to and to grow with. But sadly, there is always the common circumstance of losing that best friend. That’s just life and it is very possible to go your separate ways. Yes, it might not happen, but there’s still always the fear of losing a close friend that you hold dear.
About 5 years ago, I met my best friend. He and I were inseparable. We were a duo. As we get older, we get more distant, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t best friends. We argue, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t best friends. Just the fact that we have other friends doesn’t mean we aren’t best friends. Organized chaos. Some friends come; some friends go. Some stay; some don’t. It’s all a matter of chance.
Everybody has a different life, a different family, and different responsibilities. My best friend and I have gone through tough times. We have matured together, cried together, laughed together… Every day, there are so many different ways it could start and so many different ways it could end. It all depends on who’s starting and ending that day.
As an old saying goes, “Loving and losing are very common in a lifetime.” No matter what it is, there will be change, but change is not always bad.
“Everything stays right where you left it. Everything stays, but it still changes ... In little ways, everything stays.”—by Rebecca Sugar.
