21、As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others , and the kindness you show－I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.
Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me.

22、When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.
First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.
In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.
The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.
Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.
Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"
【1】Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?
A．People first learning the disaster.
B．Persons leading the emergency rescue.
C．Rescuers first reaching the disaster
D．People first find the disaster.
【2】Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?
A．To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.
B．To learn about Chinese cultures much better.
C．To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.
D．To find a better job in Chinese community.
【3】What do first responders concern most?
A．The place where the fire occurs.
B．The people trapped in the fire.
C．The language to communicate.
D．The distance covered to the fire.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers
B．New York's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin
C．Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Work
D．Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue

24、 Rihanna is paying great attention to creating music that makes her happy. She is already working on new songs and has held "tons of writing camps" to come up with fresh ideas. The "diamonds" hitmaker(演唱者)just wants to have fun on her next project.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Rihanna revealed(透露)new details about the kind of music she plans to record for her upcoming album, named "R9." The Barbados beauty last released her album(发行专辑)"Anti" in 2016. Rihanna wants to "reimagine" her next album as her past projects have all "been so structured before."
Rihanna is working on questions like: "What do I feel personally? What do I want to put out, and as an artist, how do I want to play it with my art? How do I want to explain that?"

Rihanna said that you do pop, you did this type, you do that, you do radio, but now it's just like what makes her happy.
She just wants to have fun with music. Everything is so heavy. The world that we live in is full of a lot of pains. It's tough every single day. And with the music, she's using that as her way of relieving her feelings.
Rihanna noted that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic(新冠肺炎大流行)has added difficulties to her music career. She said she wanted to go on tour but she couldn't, so she was stuck with music that she loves, and now she was trying to work out how she could even create visuals(外观改装)to that. That was a challenge as well. But she loves challenges so she is going to get it done.
In July, Rihhana made her fans believe that they won't be "disappointed" when her new music is released.

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。
Thomas Mayfield had a major problem to solve in his fifth-grade classroom. “I’m not good at adding. I don’t know how to regroup or borrow. I’m not good at subtracting (减法). Or I don’t know my facts yet, and I’m a fifth-grader,” Mayfield’s students used to tell him. The 42-year-old math teacher from Fort Worth, Texas, took their frustrations to heart. Mayfield knew it was important to try something new, especially because most of his students were also struggling outside of the classroom. Single-parent homes, low financial stability... a lot of that was going on.
Mayfield teaches at Title I school, where at least 40% of students are economically disadvantaged. He grew up going to these types of schools in Fort Worth, too. As a child, he loved to go to school, but always had great difficulty with the study of math. Besides, due to the fact that he had to take much time to help deal with the family’s financial situation, it seemed harder for him and children in similar situations to learn some subjects, especially math, well.
To reach students in a way that was familiar and inviting, he brought rap music to the classroom. He even made some videos, in one of which he played an instrumental beat to Luniz’s song I Got 5 on It. This got his students excited, even crazy. Then they started to rap about decimal point (小数点). “Now let’s break this thing down,” rapped Mayfield and students in the video.
Let’s start with the tenths
Like a dime (1角硬币) to a dollar, there’s 1 out of 10
Then we move to the hundredths, one part out of many
One out of 100, we call that a penny
……
They rapped and made popular music videos with thousands of views about math, and motivational songs like passing the big end-of-year exam.
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。
Learning math through music has been a successful strategy.__________________________
