21、Michelle Obama once said, “You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment (投资).” How unfair is it that she is trying to decide people’s future for them? There are many different ways a person can choose to live their life. A common lifestyle that is followed by many people is the lifestyle that leads you to college. Once you make it through high school, college is followed. This is where the college experience is achieved, the schooling is leading you to a so-called bright future, and the living experience is building up the responsibility, so that one day you will be ready to have a family and keep economic independence on your own . But, is this life really the life for everyone? Not all jobs need a college education. People have other plans besides continuing education after high school. Besides, college is just really expensive. Going to college is certainly not for everyone.
Granted, some people would argue that students could apply for scholarships to help pay for college, but this still is only helping pay for parts of the schooling bill. Another argument someone could make is that college will help a person become more responsible. In fact, a person who will start living on their own will cause them to have to make more responsible decisions. Also, becoming responsible is something that is done on its own. It is mostly self taught. There are a ton of more ways to become a responsible adult other than college. Lastly, someone could insist that education gives you a chance of more open future. This is a poor argument considering how many jobs are out there that don’t involve a college education.
In conclusion, college is not meant for all high school graduates.
【1】What’s the purpose of putting Michelle’s words at the beginning?
A．To attract the readers’ attention.
B．To praise his educational views.
C．To enrich deep cultural details.
D．To lead into the author’s opinion.
【2】What’s the author’s opinion on going to college?
A．It’s where everyone prepares for bright future.
B．It’s not necessary for everyone to go to college.
C．It’s the only way you build up the responsibility.
D．It’s an educational experience you should not miss.
【3】How is the responsibility built up in the author’s view?
A．By learning making decisions on one’s own.
B．By grasping the chance of a more open future.
C．By considering which job doesn’t need education.
D．By gaining the living experience in a university.
【4】Which of the following statement is not true according to the passage?
A．Not all people can afford to go to college.
B．A college education isn’t a must for jobs.
C．A college education isn’t the right path for everyone.
D．You become responsible mainly because of your parents’ teachings.

23、One night before bed, Christine Carter was sitting with her daughter on the sofa. They were making a list: Three Good Things of the Day. 【1】 It’s a technique based in an expanding field of research known as the science of happiness.
Carter is a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley. She studies how schools and families can develop positive emotions and help children lead healthier lives.
【2】 It means understanding that feeling sad is natural, and that it passes more quickly if we can notice the good things in life. “This is really about mental health,” Carter says. “We can practice bringing happiness to ourselves. It’s like putting money in the bank. 【3】”
A key step toward happiness is learning how to describe emotions, even negative ones. Feeling blue? 【4】 Ask yourself: “What do I feel? Where in my body am I feeling it? Does it have a color or shape?”
Expressing gratitude is also important. Let’s say you often quarrel with somebody. Reflect on why you’re grateful for that person, and remember the good times. This makes it likely you’ll get along better tomorrow.
【5】 Helping others gives life purpose, because you are changing the world. Even more, “We feel a sense of connection and love,” she adds. “We are born to feel better in community. Our nervous system feels safe when we’re connected with other people.”
A．But the surest way to happiness is kindness.
B．It’s better to accept the emotion than to ignore it.
C．Finding the positive doesn’t mean never being sad.
D．We can be ready to cope with hard times in the future.
E．Kindness is what you need most to avoid quarreling with others.
F．Making a list is their way of reflecting on things they are grateful for.
G．Keeping a diary contributes to positive feelings and reduce negative ones.
24、There’s no such thing as a bad apple in Tom Brown’s book, only ones that have lost their way. The 79-year-old, from North Carolina, has spent the 20-odd years of his retirement tracking down all-but-extinct apple varieties that once thrived throughout Appalachia.
Bringing them back from obscurity(默默无闻) in his own orchards(果园), he is giving new life to apple heirlooms(传家宝) with the kind of familiar names you might find in some classic novels.
Stretching from south New York state to northern Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia was home to some 14,000 orchard-grown varieties at the beginning of the last century. By the late 1990s however, commercial orchards in the US were growing only around 100 different types.
“One so-called expert said I should only be trying to find the really outstanding varieties,” Tom Brown said. “But to me, they’re all equally important. It’s a thrill to rediscover them, and to know I’m doing something unique.”
Brown’s quest began in 1998, after he stumbled across a stall of heritage apples at a farmers’ market. Amazed at their unique tastes and textures, he set about researching “lost” apples.
Over the next two decades, he found not one but more than 1,200, often waking at 2 am for a six-hour drive to – say – Virginia, before spending the day knocking on doors and speaking to locals as he searched for forgotten orchards or even single trees on remote mountainsides.
“Talking to the locals, I discovered why it was so productive: people told me how their fathers and grandfathers took pride in growing apples that were different to their neighbours’. At one house there’d be four apple trees on the lawn, all different varieties. A few houses down, I’d find another three trees, all different again.”
Sadly, the passage of time makes Brown’s quest a race against the clock. “Apple trees are not long lived,” he said. “And the people who help me find them are generally in their 80s or 90s. A whole generation of them has passed away since I started doing this.”
【1】What has Tom been doing since retirement?
A．Searching for particular apples.
B．Preserving rare apple varieties.
C．Developing new apple varieties.
D．Growing apples in his orchards.
【2】What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?
A．Commercial development led to the sharp decrease of apple varieties.
B．Appalachia used to be abundant in apple varieties in the mid 19th century.
C．Only a small number of apples were kept in the orchards by the late 1990s.
D．Traditional orchards were unable to grow more apple varieties in the 1990s.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Brown?
A．Ambitious and diligent.
B．Generous and friendly.
C．Determined and curious.
D．Creative and humorous.
【4】Why is Brown’s quest “a race against the clock”?
A．Because fewer people grow apple trees.
B．Because Brown’s orchards are declining.
C．Because the new generation shows no concern.
D．Because apple trees may die out before discovered.

Multinational corporations, U.S. demographic (人口的) changes and the Internet economy raise the need for translated and localized information. Companies increasingly want their content ____ to the tongue of the town, even between dialects of the same language.
“As more people ____ the worldwide economy, that’s going to drive more commerce, and that’s going to drive more language services,” said Bill Rivers, executive director of the National Council for Language and International Studies in the Washington region.
____, qualifications for translators and interpreters are not as simple as they may seem. Speaking two languages does not mean a person can work in the language-service industry, experts said. Learning how to translate or interpret is a ____ skill beyond knowing the language.
Furthermore, the most successful translators and interpreters maintain a ____, such as legal documents, quarterly earnings reports or a special knowledge of industry.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a Saturday afternoon. The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.
On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my fiveyearold brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys，” the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all！”
Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother！” Mother shouted at the top of her voice.
“Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section (乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it！” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wideeyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie (芭比) World.
I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered (闪烁) once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.
