21、 After we listen to songs on a music app, we are surprised to see recommended(推荐的)songs. When we open shopping websites, we can easily see things that we might want to buy.

22、 Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he's standing on, the heritage he's been given. That's what happened when a young man, the son of a star baseball player was chosen by one of the minor league teams. Hard as he tried, his first season was disappointing, and by mid-season he expected to be released any day.
The coaches were puzzled by his failure because he possessed all the characteristics of a superb athlete, but he seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.
His future seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter's box again and quickly ran up two strikes. The catcher called a time-out and trotted (快步走) to the pitcher's mound for a conference. While they were busy, the judge, standing behind the plate, spoke casually to the boy.
Then play resumed, the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning point. From then on, he-played the game with a new confidence and power that quickly drew the attention of the parent team, and he was called up to the majors.
On the day he was leaving for the city, one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied it was the encouraging remark the judge had made that day when his baseball career had seemed doomed.
“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood behind my dad in the batter's box, the boy explained.” He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he told me, I can see his genes in you; you have your father's arms. After that, whenever I swung the bat 1 just imagined I was using Dad's arms instead of my own."

D.he didn't accumulate enough experience

【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To tell us encouragement may change one's life.
B.To stress athletes especially need encouragement.
C.To predict the young man will have a bright future.
D.To caution people can never succeed without encouragement.
23、You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello,and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a coworker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

A.other people's pity for them
B.making other people unhappy
C.building up a positive attitude

A.to change negative people’s attitude to life
B.to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C.to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D.to communicate with negative people as little as possible
24、Coming upon a clear - cut in an old forest is a shocking experience. Tees large and small are collapsed one above the other in pile, and the ground is covered with the tracks of heavy machinery. Such was the scene when forest activist Zack Porter and I hiked a newly built logging (伐木) road in Green Mountain National Forest.
Clear - cutting in the American forests has long been widespread. But now, the Forest Habitat Creation Project represents new reasoning which is hotly debated - that clear - cutting benefits native creatures. The thinking is that clear - cutting done wisely can mimic natural disturbances, for example, from insect invasions or from storms overturning older trees that produce what ecologists call Early Successional Habitats - places where young trees and bushes get the upper hand and animals that depend on such habitat thrive.
The project also states that forests “can only be saved by being destroyed” - by keeping them young. Timber (木材) interests are enthusiastic about the approach because it lets them profit from cutting trees while claiming the significance of conservation. Hunting groups favor it because a younger, less thick forest makes it easier to find the game and birds they're tracking.
Nevertheless, Porter says, “Allowing some of the oldest standing trees in New England to be removed is equal to dereliction of duty on the part of the government, who sees the forests as commodities (商品).” “Forests can produce clean water, clean air, carbon storage, and biodiversity that we need,” he continues as we walk among lovely mixed hardwoods and evergreens that are cut down for logging. “We shouldn't be removing them for short - term gain.”
In this sense, Zack Porter's description of logging for wildlife for short - term gain - the short - term gain of favoring habitat for species people today want to see and hunt - is reasonable.
【1】How does the author start the text?
A.By presenting some ideas.
B.By listing some evidence.
C.By comparing different views.
D.By stating his own experience.
【2】Which argument does the Forest Habitat Creation Project hold?
A.Profits can be made from logging.
B.Clear - cutting is beneficial to the wildlife.
C.The conservation of forest is of significance.
D.Clear - cutting can cause natural disturbances.
【3】What does the underlined word “dereliction” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Fulfillment.
B.Promise.
C.Misconduct.
D.Exposure.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.A New Approach to Forest Protection
B.A Hiking Experience in the Logging Road
C.How to Build Early Successional Habitats?
D.Is Clear - cutting Forests Good for Wildlife?

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。
For the most part, Hank, a two-year-old cat, is a homebody- and for good reason. But on November 6th, Bushong, his owner, spotted Hank resting on a branch near the top of a neighbor’s tree.
Bushong believed Hank got frightened by some dogs. The more scared he got, the higher he climbed. “Cats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but they aren’t that good at climbing down,” said Dan D’Eramo, director of field services for the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA).
Bushong then asked the HRA to help, but it was no easy task. HRA called the fire department, but it refused to help because of safety concerns. Then Bushong called a construction company to ask about renting scaffolding(脚手架) but was told she would have to book the equipment 48 days in advance. Next she reached out to a local tree company, Casey Trees. But the crew said it wasn’t safe for a person to go up into the tree. Bushong became very sad.
Then neighbors came to help. Ed Baptiste, whose tree Hank had climbed, let Bushong sit in his backyard and called to Hank. Another neighbor donated a can of fish, hoping it might attract the cat to come down. Nearby dog owners took their pets on walks instead of letting them out in their yards to avoid further frightening Hank. Another neighbor suggested Bushong call a local business, which had a tall ladder. Unfortunately, their 42-foot ladder proved too short.
By day five, nothing had worked. That’s when another neighbor suggested creating a pulley(滑轮) system by throwing a sandbag attached to the rope to a branch higher than Hank. It will form a pulley system as the sandbag hangs down by gravity. Then raise a basket with some of the owners’ personal items. The cat may be attracted by the familiar scents and climb into the basket.
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。
Bushong decided to have a try.
