21、How often do you notice yourself worrying about things you can’t change? The most likely answer is a few times a day, if not more. Why? No real reason. All it does is create unnecessary additional stress for both your body and mind while preventing you from experiencing the joys of today. 【1】 Here are several strategies to help you get your worrying in control.
● Accept uncertainty and learn to thrive in it.
The beauty of life lies in how unpredictable it is. 【2】 Learn to embrace this uncertainty and thrive in it. Who knows — it could even bring some exciting new opportunities you never even thought about. Put your heart and soul into the things you care about, and work hard on achieving your dreams. That is all you can do. The rest is up to the world.
●【3】
Really can’t seem to get it out of your head? Go do something completely unrelated and different that forces you to focus on something else. 【4】 For example, I’m able to escape the world when I go to my horses — even just brushing them and spending time with them takes my mind away from other things. You can also practise your hobby or read an exceptional book.
● Have a designated worry time and worry notebook.
If you really want to take control of those worries and you’re finding that the above strategies don’t work, allow yourself to worry for a certain time period every day. Spend that time writing about all your worries in that notebook, and accept that when the time is up, the worrying will have to stop. 【5】 It is very effective to clear your head.
A.Call a friend to talk about your worry.
B.Distract yourself with another activity.
C.You never quite know what’s around the corner.
D.That way, you will get them out of your head and onto paper.
E.You may as well choose an activity that you get fully engaged in.
F.Maybe it’s high time you learned to take your worrying down a notch(等级).
G.Setting down your worry will help you know about whether your worry is realistic.
22、Reducing class size has traditionally been seen as an important way to improve a student’s educational experience. Many often believe that smaller classes would permit teachers to give more personal attention to their students. 【1】.
But one recent study suggests there's not much research-based evidence to support this idea. The research was collected by a team from Denmark's Danish Center for Social Science Research.
The study notes that one of the main problems with reducing class size is that it can have very high costs. 【2】. Financial limitations make it very difficult for many schools to reduce the number of students in the classroom.
The new study began by examining 127 studies on classroom size. Its goal was to examine the major research studies already completed on the subject. 【3】. In the end, the research centered on 10 main studies with possible sampling (采样)problems.
The researchers concluded that there's some evidence to suggest that reducing class size may lead to some improvement in a student 's reading achievement. 【4】. They found just a 53-percent chance that a randomly selected test score from a student from a small class would be higher than the selected score of a student from a larger class. 【5】. This led the researchers to conclude that there would be no benefit at all to math students in a smaller class size.
A.But they said the effect is very small
B.For mathematics achievement, the result was 49 percent
C.This can theoretically lead to improved academic results for students
D.Many public opinion studies have shown teachers favor smaller class sizes
E.The effects of larger class size can stay long after the students complete their education
F.Increasing class size is one of the most common ways school systems control education spending
G.They especially centered on those trying to measure if smaller class size led to greater academic success
23、Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
【1】When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice
C. loudly D. forcefully
【2】Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy B. quiet
C. having a rest D. serious
【3】The situation in the class is _________that in your house.
A. not very different from B. sometimes the same as
C. sometimes not the same as D. not the same as
【4】The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations
B. that we must speak loudly
C. that we must keep silent at any time
D. that we must talk with the class
24、While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions. Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy (欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
【1】What value does art have beyond pleasing people’s senses?
A.It brings people inner peace.
B.It contributes to problem-solving.
C.It reduces the possibility of crises.
D.It deepens understanding of challenges.
【2】What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No.9?
A.It celebrates freedom and unity.
B.It aims to show crises and chaos.
C.It opens with Schiller’s Ode to Joy.
D.It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
【3】What is the author’s suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?
A.Leaving things as they are.
B.Making a choice between them.
C.Separating them from each other.
D.Engaging them in a conversation.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.How COVID-19 changes art
B.Moving artfully through crises
C.Essentials of Symphony No.9
D.How to appreciate arts in new ways

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。
I failed again. It was the day of the big marathon. I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon event and take home a medal. There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line. It was just another in a long string of failures. I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the art of failing.
We are a family with the spirit of exploration. We often plan active vacations. It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who couldn’t go the distance. Each time I urged my family, “Go on without me. Bring me lots of pictures and videos. I’ll be fine just sitting here taking in the view.” I lied. Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never happen again. As a teenager, surely, there was still hope for me. I always spent weeks walking to prepare for our active vacations. I had lost weight many times. I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be.
But this time I would do something different. I was going to walk a half marathon. Surely I would lose weight and get in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours. Be-sides, this would be training. Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise. I was excited and ready to go. I bought the proper equipment and clothing, checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot. I had a plan!
