21、 Three-day－old Oskar Lunde sleeps in a small bed at an Estonian(爱沙尼亚) hospital.
Across the room, his father turns on a laptop computer. "Now we will register our child, "Andrei Lunde says as he lifts his identification card into the card reader. His wife, Olga, looks on. And just like that, Oskar is Estonia’s newest citizen. No paper. No time spent standing in a line.
Estonia has launched a project to make government administration completely digital. The goal is to reduce the size of the government work force, open up the decision-making process and fuel economic growth.
Need medicine ?Reach for a computer and send an email or text message to a doctor. Need help from the local government? Click on a link to the government websites…
Estonia has created a system that supports electronic authentication(身份验证) and digital signatures. It provides paperless communications for both the government and private industry.
However, there are a few things that one cannot do electronically in Estonia: marry, end a marriage or buy and sell property. That is only because the government has decided it is very important to show up in person for some big life events. When Estonia declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, it had to build a new economy. Government leaders looked for an industry where the country could compete. They decided on information technology and the Internet.
When the poor country needed to replace a 1930s phone system, former President Toomas Hendrik Ilves rejected the offer of a free analog(模拟) system from Finland and argued for a digital one.
Last year, information and communications made up 5.9 percent of the economy. The government hopes to increase that figure with an "e-residency " program that lets businessmen around the world register their businesses in Estonia, thus gaining a presence in the European Union. More than 51, 000 people from 167 countries have registered at a cost of only 100 euros, or＄114 each.
【1】What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A. To provide background information of the topic.
B. To attract readers’ attention to the topic
C. To describe the daily life of an Estonian
D. To offer some basic knowledge of Estonia
【2】In which case shall people show up in person in Estonia?
A. Registering a newly born baby. B. Registering a business
C. Purchasing a house. D. Signing a name.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The "e-residency "program didn't work in practice
B. The "e-residency" program appeals to native Estonians
C. People register businesses in Estonia at very low prices
D. Estonia used to be a member state of the European Union.
【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Estonian Government Aims to End Paperwork
B. "e-residency" Program Fuels Estonian Economy
C. Estonia Is Becoming Stronger With IT Industry
D. Government Administration Is Going Digital
22、 One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station. A pre-teen boy approached my car with a thick hat pulled around his face. He asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week.
He stated that if they did not come up with $25 they would be driven off that same evening.
Having worked in social services before, and being a little doubtful, I asked how come his mother hadn’t found out social services for help. The boy said that they needed to remain in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother, who lived out of town, could take them in.
I gave the boy what I had— $5. He thanked me and continued to wander the parking lot asking for help. I got my gas and drove away. A separate time some weeks before, a boy asked me for money and I told him I didn't have any though I did. The doubt in me had won out.
Yet, I thought about it, felt ashamed at my doubt and went looking for the boy to give him a dollar. But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. 'This time, ' I thought, 'I'll do it differently. '
I went to my bank and withdrew an additional $20, then I returned to the gas station. The boy was still there. I observed him immediately, shyly approaching strangers who walked past him without notice. I pulled up beside a pump and waved at the boy to come over. I handed him the $20 bill.
He reached through my car window and gave me a huge hug. His hug told me all I needed to know—that finally this kid could get out of the rain, the cold and the darkening skies and go inside where it was warm.
【1】What's the weather like when the story happened?

【2】The boy and his mother needed to stay in the hotel for another week because ________.
A.they had no money
B.they were doubted by others
C.they were waiting for his father

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。
“Ready to pick lychees (荔枝), Hannah?” Daddy asks as we pull into my grandmothers driveway.
“Ready.” I smile and get out of the car.
Daddy closes his car door. He walks to the lychee tree in my grandmother’s front yard. “Hello, Family Tree,” Daddy says.
There Daddy goes, treating that tree like it’s a person. I’m smiling at Daddy when the door opens and my grandmother shows up. I call her “Nainai.” a Chinese word for “Grandma.” Nainai used to live in China, in a province called Guangdong. That’s where she learned to grow lychees.
“Hungry for lychees. Hannah?” Nainai asks.
I shake my head. I don’t want them. Lychees look different from all the fruits I like.
I laugh happily as Daddy climbs up the tree. The lychees are many and most are up high. After Nainai passes Daddy the cutter he cuts the end of a branch (树枝) heavy with fruit.
“Daddy! Why are you cutting the tree you love?”
Daddy smiles. “Don’t worry. Cutting the ends of branches doesn’t hurt Family Tree. It makes her stronger.”
He cuts down more branches, and Nainai and I pick their fruit. Each lychee looks strange to me. Nainai eats a lychee. With a smile I drop my lychees into the boxes we will take to relatives. Nainai shares with everyone in our family.
“Are you almost done?” I ask Daddy.
“Not yet,” Daddy says. The branch he stands on seems not to support him.
“Isn’t it dangerous up there?”
“Nonsense.” Daddy picks a lychee. “You won’t hurt me will you, Family Tree?”
There Daddy goes again.
“Plunk (扑通一声)!” say the lychees when they hit the bottom of a box. Then I hear a loud sound of a branch breaking into pieces. Nainai starts shouting, and I walk around to face the tree. There’s Daddy on the ground again. Near his feet is a broken branch!
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Daddy says, “The branch broke so slowly and lowered me softly down.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Daddy leans (倚靠) against the tree, “Do you like it now you’ve tasted it?”
