21、I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, and every morning, sometimes before I woke up, my dad left for work. I didn't know much about what my dad actually did all day. But one thing I did know about my dad's day was that he often spent his lunch break looking for books for me. He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag. When he handed the "gift" over to me, I immediately investigated its cover, checked out the description on the back, and sometimes started reading right then.
I was not always as appreciative of those books as I should have been, especially in my younger years. One time, Dad brought home a paperback（平装书）called Bunya the Witch. I scanned the cover quickly before declaring, "Ugh! It's just another stupid farm book," and dropping it on the ground. I was rightfully reprimanded for being an ungrateful kid, and I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover—Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites.
As I got older, my dad favored books focused on strong young female characters, like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs, Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt, and Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz, books I remember to this day.
It's not just the books themselves that stay in my memory. It's the girl reading them, and what she felt as she read. I think back to hours spent in my childhood bedroom, reading about young women who faced lives much more difficult than mine. I learned from their courage and drew inspiration from their bravery.
To this day, I love to read. I love the excitement of opening up a new book and getting lost in whatever story the author wants to tell me. And quite often, when I've read something really wonderful, the first person I pass it along to is my dad. I figure I owe him.
【1】What do we know about the young author from Paragraph 1?
A．She asked for gifts every evening.
B．She was interested in books.
C．She cared about her dad's work.
D．She enjoyed investigating incidents.
【2】What does the underlined word "reprimanded" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Ignored.
B．Defended.
C．Excused.
D．Scolded.
【3】What lesson may the author learn from the three books mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．Treasure one's present life.
B．Never judge a book by its cover.
C．One should fight against life's hardships.
D．Teens can also achieve really great things.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Dad, me, and love of reading
B．Dad—my first teacher in life
C．Reading—a source of knowledge
D．Readers, books, and a key to success

23、After a serious earthquake happened, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to his sons school, only to find that the building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
He was shocked. He didn’t know what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son, “No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, “It’s too late! They’re all dead! There’s nothing you can do!” To them he replied with one line, “Are you going to help me now?” And then he kept on digging.

You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it Dad!”
“What’s going on there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We’re frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you’re here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us.”

24、
A new University College London-led study finds that staring at a deep red light for three minutes a day can greatly improve declining (下降) eyesight.
Scientists believe the discovery, published in the Journal of Gerontology, could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies (治疗) helping millions of people globally with naturally declining vision.
Doctors say a three-minute daily does of the special red light for two weeks could help improve age-related vision problems. However, they say not any red light will help improve eyesight. The lead author, Professor Glen Jeffery said, "I strongly suggest that people should not just go and buy a red light online. They have to produce the right wavelength. We are looking for a commercial partner to do this and to price them at $20 to $25."
The study was carried out by a team from University College London. Researchers conducted tests on 24 men and women aged between 28 and 72. They said some cells that could help us process light had become worse in the older people. Doctors say the red light improved the ability of these people to detect different colors, particularly blue. The vision of these older people improved by as much as 22 percent, Jeffrey said, "Populations are ageing rapidly and this is going to be a major issue in the future. We need to get ready for this." He added, "If you can't see clearly, you can't read or watch TV. You also tend to fall down and break bones. Our lights are a step in this direction."
【1】What is the function of Paragraph1?
A．To lead to the main topic.
B．To discuss the study.
C．To introduce a university.
D．To give some advice.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Red light only lasts three minutes.
B．The red light with the right wavelength can be helpful.
C．Everyone needs to buy a red light online.
D．Doctors need partners to sell red lights.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The problem of populations.
B．The process and results of the study.
C．The vision of the old people.
D．The usage of different colors.
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?
A．A medical magazine.

C．A book review.
D．A history book.

26、读后续写
Mom and I spend mornings cleaning up the dirt that blows into our house. The dirt gets into everything. It covers our clothes. We have to wash the dishes before each meal. We rarely drive our car because Dad fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor.
When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear scarfs over our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mom put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in.
Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Dad headed out to the field to check on the cattle. Faye and I played in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped.
Then Mom shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, quickly now!” I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. “Faye, go with Mom!” I shouted. “I’ll warn Dad.”
Faye dashed to the house. The storm hit so fast; I hardly saw her climb the porch steps. Fine sand hit my face and the day turned into night immediately. I stumbled (跌跌撞撞地走) over our bicycles left carelessly in the yard. I screamed for Dad, hoping my voice would lead him back.
The dirt and sand stung (刺) my skin like a thousand bees. I needed to get to shelter. Covering my face with one hand, I found my way to the car and opened the door. Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed. Dad was still out there! I needed to help him find our car.
I found the switch (开关) for the front lights. They gave out some light, but would it be enough for Dad to see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again, hoping Dad would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms.

Suddenly, Dad’s face appeared at the window.
