22、 The summer before my senior year of high school, I was eating in a dining hall with some other high school students, and one girl asked me, “Do you live in a teepee (圆锥形帐篷)?” It was such a silly question that, at first, I thought she was joking! I said, “Are you serious?” She said, “Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Is that something I shouldn’t ask?” She wasn’t trying to be rude, so it didn’t bother me. I just said, “No, I have a house with electricity and running water. I’m not disconnected from the world!” But the truth is, I did grow up differently.
I’m a Native American, and I’m from a reservation in California. A reservation is a place that’s reserved for Native American tribes (部落) by the federal government.
People often have misconceptions about what living in a reservation means. In reality, though, my life probably looks a lot like yours. But there are ways that my life has been different. The reservation is an hour from town, and there’s a big connection to the land. Our house is surrounded by a mountain, a river, and a farm. We have 23 animals including 10 chickens. It’s not just for show! We collect eggs from the chickens, use manure (粪肥) from the animals to fertilize soil, and pick fruits and vegetables from our garden.
I’ve also learned how to hunt and fish. When hunting for deer, my tribe has two rules: never shoot a female deer, because she might be pregnant; if you kill a deer, find a way to use all of it.
Going to college has been a big change for me. There were only 25 people in my graduating class, and now I go to school with thousands. In my reservation, I was surrounded mostly by Natives, but at college, the Native population is only 0.07%. It’s intimidating but also exciting.
I’m studying to become a vet — there aren’t any in my reservation. If an animal gets sick, you have to drive an hour to get help. My goal is to open a veterinary clinic that will help my reservation develop.
【1】Why did the girl ask the author if he lived in a teepee?
A.Because she was silly.
B.Because she liked teepees.
C.Because she was just curious.
D.Because she was rude to the author.
【2】Life in the reservation where the author grew up is _________.
A.pretty hard B.very boring
C.close to nature D.just like city life
【3】The two rules mentioned in Paragraph 4 are _________.
A.quite eco-friendly B.easy to respect
C.very unreasonable D.difficult to understand
【4】The underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “_________”.
A.tiring B.annoying
C.interesting D.frightening
23、Maybe you’ve heard about the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I'm sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
By high school, T. J. was the most famous troublemaker in his town. He got into lots of fights. He failed almost every exam but was passed on each year to a higher grade level. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year.
When I showed up to lead the first training for a leadership retreat, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. The community leaders told me about T. J. Ware-the boy with the longest arrest record(警察局笔录) in the history of town. Somehow, I knew that I wasn’t the first to hear about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.
At the start of the retreat, T. J. didn’t readily join the discussion groups and didn’t seem to have much to say. But when his group started a discussion about positive and negative things that had happened at school that year, he joined in and had clear thoughts on those situations and the other students in his group welcomed his comments. Suddenly, T. J. felt like a part of the group and soon he was treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense and everyone was listening. By the end of the retreat he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed (打动) with his ideas and love for the homeless. They elected T. J. vice-chairman of the team.
Two weeks later, the Homeless Project team organized a communitywide service project—a giant food drive. Seventy students led by T. J. collected a school record: 2.854 cans of food in just two hours - enough to take care of poor families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. T. J.'s picture was up there for doing something great.
T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.
【1】Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Love Leads to Success
B．Love Changes Everything
C．A Broken Wing Mended
D．A Bird with Broken Wing.
【2】What can be learned about T. J. before the author met him?
A．He didn't have a good teacher.
B．He was feeling hurt every day.
C．He would graduate the next year.
D．He was not welcome in the school.
【3】What is the turning point for T.J. Ware’s change?
A．The leadership retreat.
B．The group discussion.
C．The communitywide service project.
D．The school record in the food drive.
【4】T. J. was treated like a leader by the group members because ________.
A．he joined the leadership retreat
B．he was part of the group
C．his words was meaningful
D．his deeds were famous at school
24、More and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getting a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day ends.
Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep ---- they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by nature portable ---- not to say addictive ---- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also tend to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer or television screen.
Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels as the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the devices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before bed.”
They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(应用人类工程学) that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribution(光谱功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of users less.
It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity and even cancers.
【1】Blue light prevents iPad users from sleeping well because ____.
A. it is the same as daylight which keeps people awake
B. it makes the brain more active
C. it is brighter than light that is more orange or red
D. it can help decrease the production of melatonin
【2】The underlined phrase “dim the display” means ____.
A. keep away from the display
B. make the display less bright
C. clean the display carefully
D. turn off the display
【3】 In the last paragraph, the author intends to ____.
A. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleep
B. call on researchers to study sleep patterns
C. show the danger of obesity and cancers
D. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too much
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health.
B. People should limit the use of electronic devices
C. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep.
D. Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleeplessness.

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 was backpacking and planned to climb a volcano called Volcan Baru. At 3,474m, it is the highest peak in the country and one of the only places on Earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time. It is an active volcano, but last erupted around 1550.
I set off before sunrise. It was a little cold, so I had pulled on tights under my trousers. I intended to reach the top by midday, and then return before dark to get a lift to my hotel.I’ve always felt safe travelling as a woman on my own, which I’ve done since my 20s. I love the freedom. When I got to the base of the volcano at 7 in the morning，the ranger disagreed to let me go alone, but said OK because an American couple were behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. It was not dry as you might imagine a volcano might be — there were trees and flowers all around, and a dirt road for the farmers who worked around there.I walked for an hour and reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph.
Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me. I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively (挑衅) towards me. I expected them to stop, but they didn’t. As they got closer, I could see their teeth looked sharp, and that they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart was racing. I’d never been bitten by a dog, and I couldn’t help but fear what would happen. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could move fast, so I didn’t want to try to outrun them.
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。
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, “Come on, good dogs!”

Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger.
