21、阅读理解。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow.
【1】What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
A．Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B．A lot of care and the right soil.
C．Tomato plants grown alongside.
D．Cages placed around the roots.
【2】The writer planted the tomato plant because______.
A．there was room for it in the garden
B．the soil was just right for it
C．it cost only $1. 25
D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered
【3】This year the writer’s roses were_______.
A．removed from the rose bed
B．largely hidden under the tomato plant
C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D．picked along with the tomatoes
【4】By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________.
A．express her liking for the roses
B．show the hardship of growing the roses
C．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
D．express her care for the tomatoes
22、When traditional treatments fail to help patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD强迫症)，an implant that shocks the brain with electrical pulses (脉搏) just might, a new research review shows. It found that the treatment — known as “deep brain stimulation,” or DBS — can offer significant relief to as many as two-thirds of such patients.
“OCD involves forced and bothersome thoughts that the individual cannot silence, and repetitive behaviors performed to reduce the anxiety.” said study author Dr. Sameer Sheth, a professor of neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine. Examples of OCD include repeated handwashing, ordering and arranging, repeating words in one’s head, and checking and double-checking.
Enter DBS for the brain. “It consists of a stimulator typically put under the skin in the upper chest and connected to an electrode (电极).”Sheth said. “The electrode is placed in specific regions in the brain, aiming that by restoring activity in these areas to a more balanced state, DBS settles the symptoms of OCD.”
To find out whether it works, Sheth’s team reviewed the findings of 31 studies conducted between 2005 and 2021. Altogether, the studies included 345 adult OCD patients, at an average age of 40. The review showed that after a treatment period of about two years, DBS had produced obvious symptom improvements in two-thirds of the patients. Significant depression relief was also owed to DBS treatment. About one in five patients experienced at least one serious side effect of DBS. Still, Sheth stressed that the upside is hard to ignore. He added, “there is actually little risk of DBS for appropriately selected patients.”
“Since the DBS electrodes are placed in the brain regions contributing to OCD, it is not a surprise that it works.” said Dr. Gopalkumar Rakesh, a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “Although it’s not a brand-new treatment, DBS really is in the more-research-needed stage of development. So I would say that the results of this study point to the need for even more research to determine which patients would really adjust to that treatment to have the greatest benefit.”
【1】What do people suffering from OCD tend to do?
A．They just wash their hands on occasions.
B．They like to give orders and arrangements.
C．They may repeat an action to reduce anxiety.
D．They can have unwanted thoughts controlled.
【2】According to the research, how does DBS help to treat OCD?
A．It leads to slight symptom improvements.
B．It contributes to obvious depression relief.
C．It eases as many patients with OCD as possible.
D．It reduces OCD-caused symptoms by two-thirds.
【3】What can be inferred about the application of DBS to treat OCD?
A．There is no risk of DBS for patients.
B．It is a wonder that DBS works for OCD.
C．DBS needs more research to be adopted.
D．DBS is sure to be of great benefit to all.
【4】What may be the purpose of the passage?
A．To advocate using DBS for treating OCD.
B．To inform people of the symptoms of OCD.
C．To compare different ways of treating OCD.
D．To introduce an effective way of treating OCD.

24、You have signed on for months of hard work．You're far from home．The pay is bad．The food is worse．You find rare comfort in the simple songs that you and your work mates sing．
This is what a sailor's life was like in the 1800s．The songs sung aboard ships were called sea shanties．You have probably heard a shanty or two yourself．Many of these songs have lasted through the years．They can often be found in surprising places today．
Sea Shanties Then ．．．
Sea shanties were valuable friends to sailors．Some shanties, such as "Blow the Man Down," had lively words and melodies．They broke up the boredom of long trips．Other shanties, including one called "Oh, Shenandoah," had a sadder tone．They helped seafarers express longing and loneliness．Still other shanties, such as "Leave Her, Johnny," let sailors complain about their hard lives．
But the first job of the sea shanty was to help the men work as a team．Ships had sails that were controlled by a system of moving ropes．For many jobs, all of the sailors had to pull on the ropes at once．
When faced with such a job, the shantyman, or song leader, began a tune．The crew joined in on the chorus, and it might have sounded like a playful sing-along．But when the sailors came to a certain beat, they knew it was the signal to pull together with all their might．
Raising or lowering the anchor called for a rhythm with a slow, steady motion．Then, the shantyman would choose a shanty with a slow, steady beat to match the job．Each duty on the sailing ship had its own rhythm and its own kind of song．
．．．and Sea Shanties Now
Sea shanties have been passed down to us in much the same way as folk stories．Long ago, someone came up with a memorable idea and melody．Others repeated the shanty, often adding changes along the way．
Over time, people saw the sea shanty for the treasure it was．Like any treasure, shanties were collected．Many were written down in books．
Where do the old shanties appear now? Today's musical artists love the fun, beauty, and history of these songs．Many musicians, including Bob Dylan and Harry Belafonte, have their own versions of "Oh, Shenandoah．" One group, the Robert Shaw Chorale, recorded a collection of shanties．
In Hollywood, shanties serve as a symbol of the sea．A fisherman sings the shanty "Spanish Ladies" in the film Jaws．The cartoon character Woody Woodpecker whistles "Blow the Man Down" when he finds himself aboard a pirate's ship．
Today, shanties tell us about shipboard life more than one hundred years ago．They help us understand what the working sailor sang and perhaps thought about．
So the next time you're doing a boring task, try making up a tune to go along with it．Time may pass more quickly, and your job may seem easier．Also, you may understand why sailors loved those old songs of the sea．

25、When it comes to school and schoolwork, I prefer to be an engaged parent rather than an involved parent. “Engaged” means I ask if they have homework, and I _________ nearby, doing my own thing. When it gets completed, I _________ if the kids ask for help. Being “involved” _________ digging through their school bags, doing anything for them.
I am _________ familiar with a mother who still made haircut for her 20-something son. Loving? Perhaps. _________ it’s not helpful to independent development. When I draw a hard line on not bringing forgotten _________ to school, I’m not trying to be _________. And they know I am not saying “You should remember your lunch or I’ll _________ you with something you don’t like.” Instead, I’m saying, “You are in charge of _________ your lunch. I know you will because you like to eat what you brought from __________.”
I __________ that I have sometimes even tried to __________ something. Last year, when my second-grader was forgetting to return his homework to school, I told his __________, “Don’t hesitate to mark him down for __________ homework.” I know that meeting real world’s __________ is often a more powerful force than just what parents want him to do.
So what did we do about __________ and signing the second-grade homework? I told my son’s teacher that I wanted to encourage his sense of __________, and asked if we could try it for a while. She happily agreed, and so for the rest of the year I __________ his homework to my son. There were far more items with high marks if I’d had a __________ hand to punish them, but I’m hoping a lighter touch and a little __________ will lead to a capable (能干的) child — and adult.
