21、If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
【1】According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A．Reading and listening.
B．Reading and writing.
C．Writing and speaking.
D．Speaking and listening.
【2】The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”.
A．meet by accident
B．discover
C．find on purpose
D．look for
【3】The author seems to agree with the view that ________.
A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B．you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
【4】The passage is mainly about how to ________.
A．choose suitable listening materials
B．deal with new words in reading
C．improve your English as quickly as possible
D．become fluent in speaking and writing English
22、Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.
Step inside most modern cars and instead of all the dials and switches that used to clutter the dashboard (仪器板) you are likely to find it dominated by a touchscreen. Often there is more than one screen, and some are bigger than those on a laptop. But, though convenient, touchscreens can also be dangerous distractions.
【1】 They recruited two groups of 20 drivers. One consisted of regular users of Google’s Android Auto while the others were supporters of Apple CarPlay. Each participant completed three 15-minute journeys along a set virtual route using the laboratory's sophisticated driving simulator. On one of these trips they had to carry out tasks using only the touchscreen, which included navigating to a restaurant, playing a particular song on Spotify (a music service), changing radio channels, getting the system to read out a text message, and making a “hands-free” telephone call.【2】 The third journey was a control, with no assigned tasks.
Whenever a red bar flashed on the windscreen the researchers measured how long it took a driver to react by pulling the indicator stalk (柄) to flash the car's lights. 【3】 Though the difference might be less than a second, at motorway speeds this would result in an increased stopping distance of up to 25 metres.
Dr. Kinnear was, however, surprised by the amount of time drivers' attention was diverted by the series of glances needed to operate the screen. Among the worst outcomes were a mean of 20 seconds of cumulative glances using Android Auto to play a song on Spotify, and of 16 seconds to set up the route to a restaurant with CarPlay. 【4】The researchers thus believe voice-activation is a safer alternative that should be encouraged, though the software needs to be improved.
A．For voice commands, those means fell to four and three seconds respectively.
B．Dr. Kinnear and his colleagues have urged vehicle-safety bodies to impose standards that limit the use of overly distracting tasks on a car’s touchscreen.
C．To discover how badly touchscreens distract drivers, Neale Kinnear and his colleagues arranged a series of experiments.
D．Or else, you can turn to voice control.
E．On the second trip they had to do the same, but using only the car’s voice-activated controls instead.
F．As they expected, drivers using touchscreens took longer to respond to the flashing bar than did those using voice controls.
23、If your roommate snores (打鼾) in a way that is affecting your sleep every night, you’ll need to address the situation as soon as possible. Doing so wisely, however, is likely to increase your chances of finding a workable solution that everyone is happy with.
First and Foremost, Mention It to Your Roommate.
If your roommate snores a lot, you’ll have to bring it up if you’re ever going to move toward a solution. 【1】Avoid angry accusations like “You snore so much!” or “Why are you snoring like that all the time?”
Remember That Snoring Can Mean Some Other Issues.
Don’t just view snoring as a bad habit; it can be a medical issue for some people, too. The various causes of snoring should help you keep in mind that this isn’t something that can just be fixed, like a dirty roommate or one who takes your stuff all of the time. 【2】
Find Some Temporary (暂时的) Fixes.
As you and your roommate work to find long-term solutions to the snoring problem, look into some short-term fixes first. Can you get earplugs? 【3】 Rearrange the beds of your room so they aren’t so close? Perhaps you can ask your roommate to avoid alcohol before bed, or look into getting and using a white noise machine.
【4】
Your roommate might just need to change some sleeping habits; similarly, they might also have some serious medical concerns which aren’t going to be fixed quite so easily. If that is the case, turn to some long-term fixes. Know that it’s perfectly okay for one of those fixes to be finding another roommate. Sleep is important — for both of you. Keep Things Pleasant and Friendly.
【5】Would you want someone for example, taking video of your snoring and posting it online somewhere? Definitely not. Your roommate’s snoring isn’t an intentional act designed to make your life horrible. Consequently, aim for understanding and patience as you both work to find a solution.
A．Look into Long-term Fixes.
B．For example, you’ve been told you snore a bit.
C．How you bring the topic up, however, matters a lot.
D．Ask your roommate to try to sleep on the other side?
E．It doesn’t have to mean anyone is doing anything wrong.
F．Consider how you’d want to be treated if you were in your roommate’s shoes.
G．Be patient and considerate as your roommate looks into what’s causing the snoring.
24、 You don’t have to break your back to create a yard that’s both beautiful and kind to Mother Nature. These environmentally smart ideas will turn your home turf(草地)into a little slice of Eden. 【1】
Let the grass grow. Cut grass less often, so it gets a few inches longer than you’re used to. 【2】 That’s because roots will grow deeper and grass thicker, which means fewer pests, less disease, and a decreased need for chemical intervention.
Water the grass right way. Water before 10 a. m. , when the air is cool and not as much moisture will be lost to evaporation. 【3】 Water near the base of plants, slowly delivering the good stuff right to the roots. For lawns, water long and deep once a week.
Get keen on composting(制堆肥). Compost isn’t called gardener’s gold for nothing. It keeps kitchen leftover out of landfills and enriches soil with much-needed nutrients. 【4】 Veggie and tea bags, eggshells, dry leaves, and untreated grass clippings are all fair game.
【5】 Honeybees help pollinate(授粉) 75 percent of our flowering plants and nearly 75 percent of our food crops. There is increasing evidence that many of the vital pollinators are in decline. Creating a garden that includes plants that flower at different times of the year will benefit pollinators throughout the growing season. Whenever possible, choose native plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes.
A.Many will save your money, too.
B.Dry leaves add nutrients to the soil.
C.Give bees the green-carpet treatment.
D.Make the backyard as beautiful as possible.
E.Watering in late afternoon is the next best option.
F.It also reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers.
G.It will help it survive dry periods of time in warmer months.
25、“What is the story of your piano?” a new friend asked over dinner. My piano has a story? “All pianos have stories.” she said. Suddenly, my piano’s story came _______ out of me fully-formed as if I’d always had this tale to tell.
I love _______ since childhood. I started with the recorder and moved on to the violin and guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not _______.
I grew up in an immigrant Chinese family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my sisters and I were always fed with love. I can’t remember which birthday it was when she _______ the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I’d outgrown wanting dolls, but she worked too hard to know that, and I never told her. I _______ accepted the doll because I thought the gift that was her loving me enough to buy it for me.

I had to make a decision: to pursue the more _______ goal of medical school or my love for music. The pragmatist in me won. I stopped piano lessons because, as with my doll, it was too late to learn to play the way I wanted.
I moved that piano around with me over the next decade until my son was born. He showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons. I played that piano _______ my son— although guitar was eventually his instrument of ________.
I’ve come to realize that in ________ of my career, I’ve let all personal pleasures ________. I figured I’d get back to playing the piano when I retire.
