21、She’s one of the most popular children’s book authors. There are very few other writers who can create such magic with their stories. One other such author is J. K. Rowling. But it all started with Enid Blyton, the English writer.
This woman was really a genius (天才), and knew the way to a child’s heart. Many children’s love for reading began with her. She wrote mysteries about boarding school adventures, and there was always something to learn at the end of the story. “Don’t be greedy (贪婪的)” or “It’s good to be kind” or “Be kind to animals” or “Being too naughty will only land you in trouble”. There was always something that kids need to apprehend at a young age.
And she showed all these in the sweetest, most kindly way possible. Everything turned out to be okay in the end and the bad guys got what they deserved (应得的), but nothing too hard. And they became good people in the end. If only the real world was this simple. She’s written books about kids solving problems in the world filled with gods and fairies (仙女) where everyone was good and kind, and lived with enough chocolates and other delicious foods. This world is just what people want.
Do you know the kids’ show that is popular on Pogo? Yeah, Enid Blyton created these characters. The series is based on her books. These are just a few. She’s created hundreds and hundreds of characters and more than 400 million copies of her children’s books have been sold worldwide.
Children are crazy about her books and parents and schools are certainly going to make them read her books. They’re perfect for kids. Enid Blyton is the reason why I developed such a love for writing stories! She had such a wonderful imagination and knew exactly how to steal a child’s heart. She stole mine.

24、The Financial Times app urged me to read the latest headlines. More disturbing, Google News installed itself and did the same thing. Most absurd of all, every single incoming email announced itself with a beep.
This was all simple enough to fix. Text messages and phone calls are now the only apps allowed to interrupt me. Still, it was annoying. I wondered: surely everyone switches off most notifications, right?
Perhaps not, I stumbled upon an essay by Guardian columnist Coco Khan marveling at how much calmer she felt after turning off notifications. She explained that WhatsApp alone had sent her over 100 notifications a day and that she had only silenced the apps because she’d been on holiday, and the phone was buzzing all night.
I read Khan’s account as a cautionary tale for all of us. Humans can adapt to a lot; it’s easy to sleepwalk into a state of chronic stress and distraction without ever reflecting that things could be different.
This seems common. One of the most important findings in behavioral science is that default(默认) settings have an outsize influence over our choices. App makers clearly believe we’ll put up with it, and they may be right.
One study, published in 2015 by researchers at the Technical University of Berlin, found that on average six out of seven smartphone apps were left in their default notification settings. Given how many notifications are valueless, this suggests that in the face of endless notifications, many smartphone users have learnt helplessness.
Of course we sometimes want to know immediately when something has happened. As I am fond of saying, a doorbell is more convenient than going to the door every 90 seconds to see if anyone is there. Although that trade-off would change if the doorbell itself were sounding every few minutes, day and night.
But most of us have too many notifications enabled. “ Notification” is a dishonest euphemism(委婉说法)，anyway. The correct word is “interruption”.
Oliver Burkeman puts it in his book Four Thousand Weeks: our attention is not just a scarce resource; it is life itself.“At the end of your life, looking back, whatever caught your attention from moment to moment is simply what your life will have been.“ Glance at yet another notification, and you are literally paying with your life.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By providing data.
B．By posing a contrast.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By describing personal experience.
【2】What can we learn about the author and Coco Khan?
A．They preferred a peaceful life to a busy life.
B．They simply turned off their phones to keep themselves calm.
C．Both of them weren’t happy with default settings on smartphones.
D．They were often troubled by unnecessary notifications on their phones.
【3】Which is one of the reasons why people live with annoying notifications?
A．Because they are used to them.
B．Because they are under too much stress.
C．Because most of the notifications are valuable.
D．Because they forget to deal with their messages constantly.
【4】What can we infer from Oliver Burkeman’s words?
A．It is advisable to live a life without smartphones.
B．Being interrupted by useless notifications is a waste of life.
C．People need to reflect on their choices of smartphone apps.
D．People who have adapted to endless notifications are hopeless.

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
A grey car broke down on a gentle slope near the entrance of the grocery store parking lot. A long line of cars moved slowly around it, some honking(按喇叭), shoppers urgently trying to get their errands(差事)done during the December holiday craziness.
I looked around the offending vehicle, craning(伸长)my neck to catch a glimpse of the driver, a slight figure curled up before the steering wheel and wearing a dark green cap pulled tight.
“I think it's a woman." I told Lois, my wife, who sized up the driver and said. "These days, you just can't tell about people. Better to be safe than sorry."
I edged out into traffic. Lois, the more cautious one, was right. Holiday stress could bring out the worst in people. Across the nation, no one, it seemed, could agree on anything. Racial conflicts. Social unease. Crime on the rise. Neighbors acting like strangers. Peace on earth? I didn't see it on the gift list for this year. Not even in our tiny community in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
I was a few miles down the road when a thought stopped me; Was I missing an opportunity by driving past someone so obviously in need?
“I'm going back," I said. "Let's make sure everything's okay." Lois didn't object.
Minutes later I was back the parking lot. The car was still blocking traffic. Now I could clearly see a woman behind the wheel. I motioned for her to roll down her window, but she stared back at me hesitantly. I got it. I'm a big black guy with a beard, in a community where African Americans are definitely a minority. Finally, the woman rolled down the window.
“I ran out of gas and I just spent my last dollar on groceries." she said. I figured out that I had to push her car to the nearest gas station. But then I was hit with the reality of what I was in for. I had a bad knee, possibly facing surgery. No way could I push even a small car alone.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I saw a big white guy in a car waiting to exit.

As we struggled, another passing driver offered to help drag the car to the gas station with a tow bar(拖车杠).
