21、Most people recognize that there are many benefits of learning a foreign language. Scientific studies have even shown that learning a new language helps to keep memories sharp and naturally improves overall brain function.
But do you know that you can speak a new language in as little as 10 days? The Pimsleur Approach to speaking new languages helps users pick up new languages quickly. Even the FBI has purchased the Pimsleur Approach.
Dr. Pimsleur, a specialist in the field of applied linguistics, devoted his life and career to acquiring languages and recognized that effective communication in any language depends on mastery of a relatively limited number of words. And, trying to learn too many words at first can actually slow the language retention (保留) process. However, once this “core (核心) vocabulary” is mastered and used constantly, it speeds up language learning. The Pimsleur Approach aims at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language, so you can speak the most in the least amount of time. It’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.
Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically planned to rapidly lock language material into your brain after just one listen. Just sit back, listen and start wiring your brain to pick up a new language today.
The Pimsleur Approach Programs
The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun and easy. You’ll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading, writing or computer use. The Pimsleur Approach has a 100 percent guarantee: amaze yourself in 10 days or you don’t pay!
Limited availability special offer
The company is currently offering new customers a special offer of half off the language of your choice including free shipping.
The programs which normally cost $19.95 are now available for just $9.95. Better yet, they are also offering a full 30-day money-back guarantee (so if you find you are not speaking as fast as you want, simply return it for a full refund).
【1】The teaching method of the Pimsleur Approach is ______.
A. mastering a number of rules B. reciting many new words
C. reading and translating D. listening and speaking
【2】What does the Pimsleur Approach focus on？
A. How many core vocabularies you remember.
B. How effectively you use the core vocabulary.

22、 A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances (物质)like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.
The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.
Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products.
Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.
Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects from the long-term use of presently approved (批准) food additives are very small.
【1】From the passage we can learn that ______ .
A. it is right to refuse chemicals in food
B. all foods have chemical substances
C. food additives are harmful to our health
D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Foods without additives can keep a much longer shelf life.
B. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.
C. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.
D. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.
【3】According to the writer, the food additive is ______ .
A. poisonous B. worrying C. avoidable D. acceptable
23、I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
【1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.
A．after Mother died
B．before she became a writer
C．when she was a child
D．when Mother gave it to her
【2】The passage shows that_________.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
【3】What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
【4】What’s best title of the passage?
A．My letter to Mother
B．Mother and children
C．My Mother’s Desk
D．Talks between Mother and me
24、 Laurie Penny, a television writer and journalist from England, shares her house in the Silver Lake community of Los Angeles, California, US, with a songwriter named Natti Vogel. Along with a freelance journalist named Sam Braslow and a therapist named Pam Shaffer, who both live nearby, the four have formed a group to support each other during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quarantine buddy arrangements are sometimes met with firm disapproval from those who hold traditional definition of family. As under stay-at-home orders from Los Angeles city, people should go out as little as possible, and big events are forbidden.
Nevertheless, the four have decided to be a family of sorts in a situation no one could have imagined a few months ago. They share meals, gather together on the couch playing guitars, exercise together and even hug.
They are not blood-related or romantic partners, but friends brought together by the restrictions on face-to-face contact that have changed life across the US to slow the spread of the COVID-19.
“If I were by myself out here in Los Angeles, so far from my family, I think I would have gone a bit crazy,” said Penny. As the crisis wears on, if people are completely isolated, they could act out in ways more damaging than associating with the same few individuals, said Jeffrey Martin, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco, US.
There is plenty of pleasure in the apartment for the quarantine foursome, which can take on the air of a “young strangers thrown together” reality show. They have read through plays, recorded songs together and performed for one another. They are working round the clock to keep one another entertained, inspired, fed and virus-free.
While they may miss parts of their old routines, the group’s priority remains the same. “We need to care for each other. That’s why we feel freak out as a group when someone talks about breaking quarantine,” Vogel said.
【1】What is the relationship of the four people?
A.They are family members. B.They are roommates.
C.They are former colleagues. D.They are two couples.
【2】What do the four do during the pandemic?
A.They reach out to help those in need. B.They follow a traditional family lifestyle.
C.They break the official quarantine orders. D.They live together and care for each other.
【3】What is Martin’s attitude toward the lifestyle of the four during the quarantine?
A.Supportive. B.Surprised. C.Worried. D.Confused.
【4】What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Their old routines. B.Efforts to stop COVID-19.
C.Their mutual support. D.Hope for breaking quarantine.
25、My son isn't scared of many things. Sometimes this makes me ______. When he overcame his fear of dogs, I felt great admiration for him.
Things get more complex (复杂) when he proves himself to be braver than I am, forcing me to face the ______ I still carry around as an adult.

I hardly had time to register this before he was ______ my arm. Soon he was doing something my wife had ______ managed, pulling me into the open water.

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 eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches. My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on. But now I had a brand new shirt! I was so excited. I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street. I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes, the shirt sleeve ripped when I made a turn.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. “I’ll sew it back together after the match”, I thought. But then I noticed that actually the whole sleeve was torn. Only a professional can mend it now. I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined. They would feel sad and they might not allow me to play football any longer. As I walked home, feeling totally at a loss what to do, I was astonished to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services!”
I went inside immediately. A man with white bushy hair said “Welcome!” I looked around the shop. I saw an iron, broken toys and a broken chair. “I guess this is the wrong place. What I really need is a tailor’s”, I thought to myself. But as I started to leave, I noticed a photo of a football team next to the sewing machine. I couldn’t make out which team it was. “Maybe the owner also liked playing football.” Thinking of this, I decided to have a try: “Excuse me, this tear needs repairing. I need it to take part in the school match.”
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。
“I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt,” said the man.
