21、Children's fiction typically refers to any type of fictional work of writing that is written specifically for children. 【1】 The most common types include those told in poem form, stories for very young children, and works meant for older children. They can include older and traditional stories, such as nursery rhymes and fairy tales, as well as more modem stories that have been written more recently. Many works of children's fiction use songs and rhythms. 【2】
Though some children's fiction is intended for children of all ages, many works are specifically written for younger or older children. Picture books, for example, are often written for very young children, including toddlers(学步的小孩)and those just beginning to develop language. 【3】 They are frequently written in poem form as well, and can feature word choices that are intended to help young children begin to develop language. They have a very small vocabulary, frequently repeating words to allow children to hear them many times.
Children's fiction that is written for older children, on the other hand, may deal with more complex ideas that older children can understand. 【4】 This allows children who are learning to read to practice with words that are repeated and familiar, while still exposing them to a wide range of words. These works of children’s fiction often still have pictures, though there may be more words than pictures. 【5】 They help children move from picture books toward children's literature and young adult books.
A.These books are often quite short in length.
B.They are typically meant as a bridge for children.
C.Kids aren5t the only ones reading children’s fiction.
D.There are many different types of children's fiction.
E.Books for young readers often deal with very interesting topics.
F.This allows such works to be more easily read aloud to young children.
G.These works may also repeat words, but often have a larger vocabulary.
22、Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. 【1】 There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.
【2】 Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity.
Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. 【3】The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. 【4】
Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.
Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract. 【5】
A.Otherwise, you will be defeated.
B.Modern society demands high-quality talents.
C.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.
D.There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.
E.Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.
F.In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.
G.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.
23、 Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels (分贝)measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect. Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A.The man-made noises.
B.The noises made by themselves.
C.The sound of earthquakes.
D.The sound of the ice-breaking,
【2】Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?
A.The ocean animal’s reaction to noises.
B.Different places with different types of noises.
C.The human ears sensitive to all types of noises.
D.The same noise on land measured differently in the ocean.
【3】As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?
A.They are deaf to noises.
B.Noises at a certain level may hurt them.
C.They are easily confused by noises.
D.Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.
【4】According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A.They will try their best to decrease noise.
B.They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.
C.They will study the effect of different noises.
D.They will protect animals from harmful noises.
24、I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.
After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.
Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.
Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.
Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.
【1】What made the author interested as well as confused?
A. The waiter’s making normal gestures.
B. Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.
C. The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.
D. Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.
【2】The author thought the man in need was ______.
A. obviously poor
B. not properly dressed
C. not right to leave without paying
D. strange to order coffee from the wall
【3】 In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.
A. necessary in our life
B. a blessing some can’t afford
C. respect shown for the needy
D. a blessing everyone should have
【4】The passage is mainly concerned about ______.
A. learning from the waiter
B. buying coffee for others
C. caring more about the people in need
D. analyzing the characters in the coffee shop
25、I live in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the whales come into the bay for a few days. In November 2020, the whales were around, so I _________my yellow boat to watch the wildlife. At the time, I_________my friend Liz Cottriel if she wanted to watch them.
“No way,” she said. She’s _________of whales, and was terrified that the boat would overturn while we were in it. I_________her that the boat was super stable. Finally I got her to_________ to join me.
It was warm for November, so we wore T-shirts and leggings (紧身裤). For the first half-hour, we didn’t see anything. Then I _________ two pairs of whales swimming toward us.
When whales go down after breaching (跃出水面), they _________what looks like an oil slick (浮油) on the water. I figured if we moved toward that spot, we’d be _________from the whales, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance. I later found out that it’s_________ that we keep 90 meters away. We were probably more like 18 meters away.
All of a sudden, a large group of fish started __________out of the water into our boat. At that moment, I knew we were too__________. I was terrified. Then I felt the boat lift out of the water. What I didn’t realise at the time was that Liz and I were in a whale’s__________.
Whales have enormous mouths but__________ throats. Anything they can’t swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water. The entire experience__________ only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity (永恒).
There’s no way I’m getting that close to whales again. I want to__________ their space. I’m now very aware of the power of nature and the ocean.
