21、Life can be challenging for teens. They must deal with schoolwork, family life and friends at the same time to fit. Feeling of sadness, frustration and irritability are common. 【1】 Their negative feelings don't come and go. Instead, those intense feelings can point to a disease called depression—one that may require treatment.

It's easy to think that depressed people simply feel sad or hopeless. For many teens that may be true. 【2】 Some kids withdraw from friends and family. Others respond with angry outbursts. Some teens may skip school or stop eating or sleeping. Teachers, parents or even a teen's close friends may find it hard to tell whether these behaviors are just part of being a teens or signs of something truly serious.

Even depressed teens may not realize they have this problem. 【3】 More than three million Americans between the ages of 12 and 17 experienced depression in 2019. However, a study by researchers at Harvard and Yale universities found that half of all teens with depression don't get help until they become adults. And only one in three will have been diagnosed by their doctor.

【4】 "I can only work with what you give me," Dee says, the mental-health professional in Lincoln, Neb.

Dee says, peers should also seek for signs of depression. Keep an eye on your friends, she recommends. Watch for symptoms of isolation (孤立) or hopelessness. 【5】 Any of these behaviors could be a symptom of depression.

Overall, knowing who—and how—to help is essential for successfully treating depression in teens.

A．And the share of those affected is high.

B．Some may start abusing alcohol or drugs.

C．Teens should be honest with their answers.

D．The problem is that depression in teens can be hard to spot.

E．There is a link between mental illness and suicide in teens.

F．But for some teens, those emotions take a more extreme turn.

G．Even skipping classes can be a sign that something serious is going on.

22、There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.

It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity?

Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.

It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.

Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.

As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!

【1】What do people tend to think of minority languages?

A．Valueless.

B．Time-honored.

C．Informal.

D．Stable.

【2】How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author?

A．We can discover drugs in a much safer way.

B．We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.

C．We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.

D．We can learn how to protect plants and animals.

【3】Why does the author mention the Second World War?

A．To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.

B．To prove the value of minority languages.

C．To show wars’ role in preserving a language.

D．To explain ways to conserve some languages.

【4】What would be a suitable title for the text?

A．Are majority languages worth valuing?

B．Are we willing to save dying languages?

C．Should endangered languages be saved?

D．Is the future of minority languages bright?

24、   Lots of people love going to Disneyland, but few enjoy the experience as much as Jeff Reitz, who has been visiting Disney resorts every day, for the last 2,000 days.

Jeff started his daily visits to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim on Jan. 1, 2012, after receiving an annual pass as a gift, and hasn't skipped a day since. He was unemployed at the time, and visiting the parks gave him something to look forward to every day and kept his spirits up. Jeff managed to secure a stable job since then, but he still makes time for Disneyland, every evening.

Jeff Reitz loves the rides, but he also enjoys the music, communicating with the staff and visitors, and just watching the other visitors.

On Thursday, Jeff walked through the gate for the 2,000th day, setting a new world record for continued visits to Disneyland, and since his annual pass expires in January 2018, he plans to extend his lead even more. He will decide whether he'll renew his pass and continue his daily routine, but whatever he decides to do, "nobody can take that fun away from me".

Visiting Disneyland every day has had a positive impact on his life. He met his girlfriend, Karen, during one of his visits a few years ago. He has an active social life because of it, communicating with both staff and visitors, and even managed to lose 40 pounds by walking around every day.

Jeff has also been the target of criticism from people, who went as far as to call his daily habit a sickness. He says that Disneyland is a place of release, relaxation, and activity, one that has made him a better person all around.

Believe it or not, Jeff has never received any special treatment from Disney for his loyalty. He doesn't get any special treatment from the staff, and doesn't even get invited to take part in special events.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为150词左右。

Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day of fifth grade. He usually sat alone, and he enjoyed that too. With four siblings（兄弟姐妹）he didn't get much alone time.

The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter Fisher, stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. Their house was the last stop before Carter's house. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was yelling and waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled something and gave his younger brother a hard shove （猛推）and knocked him to the ground.

Carter leaned toward the window to get a better view. Billy was still on the ground and Dexter was walking away. Carter watched as Billy wiped at his eyes. The poor kid was crying.

Carter turned in his seat. He felt nauseous （恶心的）.He hated seeing little kids get picked on. It just wasn't right. The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.

He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.

He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making spaghetti. His favorite. It smelled delicious.

He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.

“Surprise!” his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air.

Carter looked down at his desk in horror. His Corvette! Jackson had painted it red. An awful dull shade of red that didn't look good on a car at all. Like the color of Dad's tractor!
