21、 A DREAM, for me, is like a torch to light up my insipid （平淡的）life and a pair of wings to fly me into the sky. The uncertainty of my future and the heavy burden of schoolwork had driven me into a negative situation and not until I had a dream did I get out there. I decided to become a hostess.
It was last summer. I went to Jinan, which is famous for its natural springs, and started to learn broadcast hosting. However, I found that it was not easy.
The weather was bad. It was too hot to stay calm, which made me homesick. I called-my parents at least five times a day. But as I tried my best to adapt to the weather and living conditions there, I became more independent.
Another thing bothered me, too. My teacher criticized all my mistakes. Grievance （委 屈）and exhaustion often reduced me to tears and sweat flowed down my checks. To get her recognition, I practiced my voice skills in a park every day, even on rainy days. You can't imagine how happy I was when she praised me for the first time.
My dream enabled me to change a lot. Without my dream, I wouldn't have had the courage and the confidence to host the New Year party at our school. On stage, I knew that it was a good beginning to my hosting dream.
I took the arts examination in the winter. To my delight, I did well. And I was more than excited when I received the offers from Shandong Normal University, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Art Institute.
My dream has powered so much energy in me that my life has become colorful every day. So, however hard it will be to stick to my dream, no way will I give it up!

A. Her courage and the confidence to host the party.
B. Her getting the teacher's praise for the first time.
C. Her becoming more independent.
D. Her doing well in the arts examination.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

22、In 17th-century Europe, it was unheard of for a woman to travel by herself, but that didn’t stop Maria Sibylla Merian. In 1699, she and her 21-year- old daughter Dorothea sailed from Amsterdam to Surinam in South America. The three-month voyage was dangerous but she was determined to go. She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature.
When they arrived in Surinam, Maria and Dorothea started working. Day after day, they took their painting materials into the hot rainforest to collect and draw insects and plants. Artists had never done such a thing before. Still life painters drew from dead specimens (标本). But Merian had always been interested in painting living animals and plants, and her favourite subjects were insects.
In the rainforest, she climbed ladders to study and collect insects. She had trees cut down so she could see what lived at the top level of the forest more than a hundred feet overhead. Merian combined both art and science in her work. A skilled observer, she kept detailed notes.
Merian planned to stay in Surinam for five years, painting and collecting insects and plants that Europeans had never seen. She learnt about the medicinal plants of the area and expanded her interest to spiders, birds and snakes. She planned to publish a book of her new work on her returm to Amsterdam.
After two years, she had to leave Surinam. It was extremely hot, and unluckily she was ill with malaria. But she had more than enough material for a book. In June 1701, Maria and Dorothea sailed back to Amsterdam with many paintings and specimens- buttrflies kept in brandy, bottles with snakes, and boxes of pressed insects.
Four years later, in 1705, Merian published the book for which she is best known, Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam. The paintings of insects and plants in their natural habitats advanced the scientific study of insects.
【1】Why did Merian make up her mind to go to Surinam?

A．She stayed in Surinam for 5 years as planned.
B．Her works were a mixture of art and science.
C．She returned to Amsterdam after her new book came out.
D．She was devoted to painting what Americans had no interest in.
【3】Which of the following best describes Merian as a painter?
A．Outgoing.
B．Traditional.
C．Warm-hearted.
D．Pioneering.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

23、Think of the last time you disagreed with another person. Maybe you argued with your brother over what to watch on TV. Or perhaps you tried to convince grownups that ice cream makes a better dinner than vegetables. How did your disagreement end? Were you able to see the issue from the other person’s viewpoint?
In many situations, disagreements are unavoidable. They’re part of life. In fact, many people look on them as opportunities to learn. They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from.
How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often, it’s best to start by asking questions. Questions help us learn about the world around us. The right questions can also help us learn about other people. In a disagreement, asking for more information can help you learn about a person’s viewpoint. Therefore, we might as well see something from the perspective (视角) of others.
When seeking to understand both sides of an issue, it’s important to know the difference between facts and opinions. Remember, facts are based on true information. Opinions can change from person to person. Paying attention to facts can stop prejudice from taking over in a disagreement. This can help everyone involved see both sides of the issue.
Maybe you’ re wondering why it’s important to understand both sides of ‘an issue, anyway. After all, don’t most people just want to prove that their side is right? Often, that’s true. However, understanding the whole issue can lead to both sides working together.
Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first. However, when both sides truly try to understand each other, they often find they have more in common than they thought. The next time you disagree with other people, try asking them questions about their viewpoint. You will surely learn a lot from doing so.
【1】What does the underlined word “so” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A．Ignoring chances to learn.
B．Knowing more about themselves.
C．Shaping a right way to see the world.
D．Making the disagreements a chance to learn.
【2】According to the passage, how can we solve a disagreement?
A．By changing the other’s opinion.
B．By trying to stand in others’ shoes.
C．By making both sides comfortable.
D．By telling facts and opinions apart.
【3】How does the author support his view?
A．By reasoning.
B．By making comparison.
C．By listing data.
D．By raising questions.
【4】What’s the the best title of the passage?
A．Disagreements Are Unavoidable.
B．We Should Avoid Disagreements.
C．Let Disagreements Function Well.
D．Disagreements Lead to Bad Result.
24、Nowadays, we needn’t look far to find something new to watch. So why do so many of us choose to watch films we’ve already seen, even knowing every line of the script?
A survey revealed rewatching films we’ve already seen countless times is common. Some titles were mentioned repeatedly — Back To The Future, Top Gun, and musicals like The Rain. In 2016, a website surveyed 1,169 people to list the 25 most rewatched films — with Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz and The sound of Music taking the top spots.
Finding which movies we watch again and again is easy. Exactly why we do it is less clear. Obviously we love them and think they deserve our attention. One said, “Some films are what I think ‘complete’ and are so familiar that you can stop and start at any point. They are deeply satisfying and you can lose yourself in them.”
While that might explain the second, third, or fourth viewing, what keeps us coming back to a movie when we already know every detail, and there are so many other new films to choose from?
One explanation is that watching something familiar takes up less mental energy. We don’t have to concentrate to work out what’s going on. Instead, we just sit back and relax. When faced with diverse choices, it’s easier to return to an old film that we believe won’t disappoint us.
A psychological phenomenon, “the mere exposure effect” — in which we develop a preference for something familiar — could also be a good explanation. So the more we watch, the more we want to watch.
A 2012 study on cultural “re-consumption” found that rewatching movies can also make us reflect on how we’ve grown a measuring stick for how much our lives have changed. Perhaps that’s one of the biggest reasons why we return to films, to recall not only for a time in history but for a time in our lives.
【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A．There are few good movies people can choose from.
B．People often watch movies many times to memorize lines.
C．People like to enjoy some movies once and again.
D．Star Wars, Top Gun and The sound of Music are top hits.
【2】The reasons why people rewatch films are as follows except that
A．it makes viewers much more comfortable to rewatch the films
B．familiar movies can remind people of impressive experiences
C．viewers find it hard to select a better film than familiar ones
D．it is those well-produced movies that always appeal to viewers
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the phenomenon of people’s rewatching films?
A．Negative.
B．Objective.
C．Disapproving.
D．Cautious.
