21、As the most typical part of the art of Chinese language, idioms have contributed to the inheritance and development of the old Chinese culture. 【1】 This set of stamps includes three Chinese idioms often used to enlighten and encourage people.
The idiom Yu Gong Yi Shan (The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains) is from Liezi. In ancient times, there was an old man in front of whose house were Taihang and Wangwu Mountains. 【2】 So he gathered his family and began to dig the mountain and move the earth elsewhere, believing that with their continuous efforts, the mountains would finally be leveled. 【3】
The idiom Wo Xin Chang Dan(Sleeping on Brushwood and Tasting Gall)is from Records of the Grand History. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu defeated the State of Yue, and captured the king of Yue, Gou Jian. After he was released and returned to his country, Gou Jian, never forgetting his shame, slept on a pile of brushwood and tasted gall before every meal. 【4】 This story encourages those who were once defeated to inspire themselves and struggle hard for recovery.
The idiom Wen Ji Qi Wu (Rising up to Practice Swordplay upon Hearing the Rooster Crow) is from The Book of Jin Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, to realize his ambition of serving the country, Zu Ti rose up every morning at the moment he heard the crow of a rooster to practice swordplay, and finally became a capable general. 【5】
A．Chinese language has a long history.
B．That made it inconvenient for him to come and go.
C．This idiom implies that ambition and diligence pay off.
D．This story tells us that tough perseverance may lead to success.
E．This story calls on the patriotic spirit and courage to serve one’s country.
F．They contain simple expressions, deep-hidden meanings and vivid stories.
G．After several years of endurance and preparation, he finally conquered his enemy.
22、 While enjoying good incomes, physicians suffer from a lack of time. Between scheduled clinical work and being on call, it’s common to have only one full day off in seven. Not surprisingly, it’s far too easy to spend that entire day just trying to do the boring tasks for yourself and your family.
The good news, however, is that new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that many professionals can increase their happiness by using their incomes to buy back some of that lost time through the use of time-saving services such as housecleaners or online personal assistants.
Study authors Ashley Whillans and Elizabeth Dunn found that when people spend money on such services, happiness improves. Their findings suggest that “using money to buy time may provide benefits by serving as a buffer（缓冲器）against the harmful effects of time pressure on overall life satisfaction”.
Spending money on a big purchase, such as an expensive car, can feel good and serve as a reward for having worked so hard. Research has consistently shown, however, that the gains from such material purchases are short lived. Instead, buying back time and then using it to go after meaningful activities is more likely to result in long-term gains in well-being.
There are the obvious tasks that have been outsourced（外包）for decades，such as house cleaning or meal preparation. In my own physician coaching practice, it amazes me how many of my physician clients do not take full advantage of these classic opportunities to save time, particularly meal services. When your time is worth well over $100 to 200 an hour, how could you NOT pay another person far less than that to do the job better than you would do it yourself?
Regaining a couple of hours on your only day off can change your well-being. How different would you feel if you had a few more hours to spend quality time with other people, improve your health, or try a new hobby?
【1】Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A.Physicians often do boring tasks for their family.
B.Time pressure often has effects on life satisfaction.
C.Physician clients never use time-saving services.
D.People all should regain time to change their well-being.
【2】What will lead to long-term gains in well-being?
A.Meal preparation. B.Earning high incomes.
C.Buying expensive materials. D.Spending quality time with family.
【3】What is the author?
A.A physician coach. B.A salesman.
C.A researcher. D.A reporter.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To persuade people to spend money wisely.
B.To introduce some ways to gain happiness.
C.To advise physicians to buy time for happiness.
D.To state physicians’ terrible working environment.
23、One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside to do some hunting. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Suddenly, a big beautiful deer appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I could shoot him.
To my surprise, he came toward me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. For this was not a youngster, but a fully grown-up one. He must have known about men and their guns. But this deer came closer, and I still waited. His big eyes never moved away from my face. His wonderful head with a set of antlers (鹿角) was clear in sight.
I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer. A big deer can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me.
What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. The big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head.
I scratched and touched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him with my last sandwich.
Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t, either. Not after that. I just watched him go, a strong deer carrying a proud head.
I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard two shots, one after another. If you have hunted much, you will know what two shots mean. They mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.
You will now understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.
【1】How the deer behaved toward the writer shows that______.
A. it pretended to be friendly to the writer
B. it wanted to attack the writer
C. it was too scared to run away

【2】You can infer from the passage that ______.
A. a grown-up deer usually will not get close to men with guns
B. the writer was a little nervous at first as he had been attacked by a big deer before
C. the writer felt afraid to kill the deer the moment the deer walked up to him
D. the writer had waited for more than an hour before the deer appeared
【3】After reading the whole passage, we can know that the passage is written in a(n)______tone.
A. worried B. excited C. sad D. happy
24、Growing Vegetables in Space
Have you ever dreamed of travelling in space? Well, you may not go, but you may be able to eat vegetables grown from seeds that have! China, the USA and Russia have all become interested in whether it is possible to eat food grown from seeds that have been in space. Indeed since 1987 China has sent 1,000 species of seeds into space to do experiments. These include green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce and wheat.
The most advanced work on growing vegetables in space has been undertaken on the International Space Station run by Russian and American astronauts. One of the most exciting moments was when soybean seeds were brought back to Earth and planted. These seeds were the first to come from a crop grown entirely in space.
The scientists chose to grow soybeans in space because they are an important source of protein in the human diet. Mark Nall, director of Space Product Development Programme for National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA), said that “this experiment and others are paving the way for improving crops grown on Earth, as well as potentially feeding people living in space.” The problem is that producing a new strain of soybean is a slow procedure on Earth so the scientists hope that it can be speeded up in space. Perhaps the seeds may also develop some characteristics that will be useful for farmers-for example, produce more oil or protein.
However, the scientists are aware that there may be problems. “Conditions in outer space such as radiation and low gravity may cause big changes in the seeds,” said Jin Xing, a Chinese researcher. He knows that genetically modified food is still being debated and so some people will be very suspicious of these “space vegetables”. However Jin has a more positive view. He thinks that unlike genetically modified crops, no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables so they will be safe.
The Chinese government certainly thinks so because they have been cooperating with NASA to produce a new strain of virus-free potatoes. Their scientists hope that in space it may be possible to produce a new crop every 40-50 days instead of one crop a year. So watch out for these special potatoes on the supermarket shelves. Maybe some day you will find them on your dinner table!
【1】The scientists chose to grow soybeans in space because ________.
A．scientists know more about soybeans
B．it’s easy to begin agricultural experiment from soybeans

【2】The underlined phrase “pave the way” in the third paragraph means ________.
A．to build a new road
B．to make things easier
C．to explore a new area
D．to solve a problem
【3】Mr Jin is positive about space vegetables because ________.
A．astronauts have tried eating some space vegetables
B．space vegetables are like genetically modified crops
C．no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables
D．scientists have found that it’s safe to eat space vegetables

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 always cherished my working experience as a teacher, as I learned a lot from my dear students, those little kids yet full of wisdom, which helped me a lot in my later life.
When I worked in a primary school, Friday afternoon was our school-wide sports program finale (尾声) in the gym. The finale was a series of races and games. There were jump rope relays, basketball relays, soccer relays, minute-to-win-it games and a host of other challenges for my first graders. There were balls escaping, jump ropes tangling (缠绕), and the first graders clapping and cheering each other on with abandon.
One of the hardest games was a basketball shooting game. Each kid stood at a line and shot five baskets. This was a very hard task for first graders. That basket might as well have been in the clouds. One of my darling little girls was chosen for this game.
She was an adorable kid. When she got excited about something, her blue eyes opened wide and she waved her arms. I’d seen her act like this when reading her favorite books, when mastering particularly difficult math problems, when playing after class and especially when she painted.
She stood at the line, basketball in hand, with a serious expression on her face. She shot. Air ball. She scrunched up (皱起) her face in concentration and shot again. Air ball. Her third and fourth shots went through the air and again fell short. Not one of her five shots even came close to the net. Not a single one.
Poor little kid! I felt sorry for her, but didn’t find a chance to comfort her during the finale.
Back in the classroom, those kids were still in excitement. After the conclusion of the sports program, we decided to gather together to talk about all the fun we’d had.
Unexpectedly, my tiny air baller raised her hand, “Mrs. McCauley, I want to share!”
What? What did she want to share? She got five air balls! She must have got me wrong.
Then, she said, “I was nervous about that basketball game at first because I’d never played it before.” She paused. Immediately, I searched in my mind for words of encouragement or some advice, anything, to ease the pain of all those air balls.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
However, she continued with her arms waving in wild excitement, “But then I played the game and I was awesome at it!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next time I was faced with a new challenge, I would remember her face, scrunched up in concentration.
