21、Have you ever wanted to travel in space? In a way you already do, because you live on Earth, and Earth is a planet floating in space.【1】 They are a whole family of planets that scientists call our solar system.
The word “solar” means “having to do with the Sun”.The planets in our solar system all circle the Sun in paths called orbits.【2】 It doesn't take them as long to travel around the Sun.Planets farther from the Sun have longer orbits.It takes Earth about 365 days—one year—to travel around the Sun.
【3】 They all spin, or rotate.It takes Earth 24 hours, or one day, to spin around one time.As Earth spins, the parts that face the Sun are lit up—it is daytime there.The parts that face away from the Sun are dark－it is nighttime.
If you could visit the other planets, you would find some strange and surprising worlds.Some are dry and rocky, while others are balls of swirling gases with solid centers.Some planets are much hotter than Earth－so hot that nothing can live there.【4】 Other planets are far away from the Sun.They are very, very cold—colder than any place on Earth.
【5】 It is not too hot and not too cold.Earth has water to drink and air to breathe.Earth is the only planet in our solar system where plants and animals and people can live.
A．There are other planets, too.
B．That's because they are so close to the Sun.
C．Earth is just the right distance from the Sun.
D．The planets are alike in another important way.
E．Planets that are closer to the Sun have shorter orbits.
F．As we have already known, the earth goes around the sun.

22、 Once I had a student called Jamal. He would squirm (扭来扭去)in his chair during independent work, and he would never stay still for more than three or four minutes. Students like Jamal can confuse brand new teachers because they’re not quite sure how to support young people like him. I took a direct approach. I negotiated with Jamal. If he could give me focused work, then he could do it from anywhere in the classroom: from our classroom rug, from behind my desk, or from inside his classroom locker, which turned out to be his favorite place.
Jamal’s least favorite subject was writing, and he never wanted to read what he had written out loud in class, but we were still making progress. One day, I decided to host a mock (模拟的)2008 presidential election in my classroom. My third graders had to research and write a speech for their chosen candidate: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The favorite candidates were obvious, but one student chose John McCain. It was Jamal. Jamal finally decided to read something that he had written out loud in class, and sure enough, Jamal stunned all of us with his brilliance. Just like Jamal’s dad, John McCain was a veteran, and just like Jamal’s dad protected him, Jamal believed that John McCain would protect the entire country. He wasn’t my candidate of choice, but it didn’t matter, because the entire class erupted into applause for our brave friend Jamal who finally showed up as his most confident self for the first time that year.
A lack of confidence pulls us down from the bottom and weighs us down from the top, crushing us between a flurry of can’ts and won’ts. Without confidence, we get stuck, and when we get stuck, we can’t even get started. Instead of getting mired in what can get in our way, confidence invites us to perform with certainty.
【1】Which of the following best describes Jamal?
A.Naughty and stubborn B.Determined but shy
C.Smart but unfocused D.Confident and generous
【2】Why did Jamal choose John McCain in the mock 2008 presidential election?
A.Because John was the least popular among the three choices.
B.Because John had written something about him before.
C.Because John shared some similarities with Jamal’s father.
D.Because John was a soldier who could protect the country.
【3】What does the underlined word “stun” mean?
A.Amaze. B.Cheer. C.Awake. D.Entertain.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To introduce the change of the authors student.
B.To show how to deal with problem students.
C.To stress the importance of encouragement.
D.To encourage us to be confident.
23、The fertile land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast at an astonishing rate, in some parts estimated at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the River Nile, but this is no longer happening.
Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the two large Aswan dams in the south of Egypt, which hold back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. Before the dams were built, the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment. But when the Aswan dams were constructed to provide electricity and irrigation, and to protect the huge population centre of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer accumulated up above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the della.
Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment-free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800-kilometre trip to Cairo. Daniel Jean Stanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo indicated that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water — almost half of what it carried before the dams were built.
International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem.
But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make artificial floods to flush out the delta waterways, in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
【1】What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta?
A．The Mediterranean Sea.
B．The River Nile.
C．The Aswan dams.
D．Lake Nasser.
【2】Why were the Aswan dams built?
A．To flush out the river beds.
B．To offer electricity and protection.
C．To make the water in the River Nile clean.
D．To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient-rich.
【3】What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．There is no need to worry about the delta.
B．The methods of measurement need improving.
C．Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen.
D．The dams’ consequences are beyond people’s expectation.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Difficulties to be settled.
B．Rewards for the challenge.
C．Severe influence of the situation.
D．Possible solutions to the problem.
24、Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children — but it wasn’t until classes moved online due to COVID-19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact. That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer. And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.
Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019-2020 school year by the time Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.
“These kids who relied on me being there for them had suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said. “When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron.”
The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson’s email address and home address to the school’s online directory (通讯录), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson. Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.
Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students’ days and his own.
“I am happy to listen to the kids’ problems as well,” Jacobson said. “I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids’ attitudes.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson — a Vietnam veteran (老兵) — by naming him a spokesman for their campaign——StillServing, which shows many ways America’s veterans continue serving even after leaving the army.
“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队). I’m still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.
It’s just that they are 75 years younger than he is.
【1】How did the school react to the school kids’ requests?
A．It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.
B．It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.
C．It showed every student’s email address.
D．It offered Jacobson’s contact information.
【2】Why was veteran Jacobson regarded a spokesman for StillServing?
A．He still served in the army.
B．He trained many volunteers.
C．He continued to serve others.
D．He encouraged kids to serve.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．School teachers.
B．Vietnam veterans.
C．Local school kids.
D．Young volunteers.
25、A comfort zone, particularly for students in high school, serves as a nonrisk, nofailure and nonrejection zone. It reflects that most teenagers are not willing to extend themselves or take risks in their life and they even want to escape from their parents.
My first experience of being thrown out of my comfort zone was in my high school. Many of my friends in the first year had started to experiment， regardless of the results, with alcohol, drugs or other _______things. For them, it was_______to care more about alcohol, parties or girlfriends/boyfriends rather than their _______, study or other friends. That was not the case with me. None of my friends had the determination to_______their risky behavior, including pressure in the new group and the new comfort zone of going along with new friends. _______, they simply replaced one comfort zone with another riskier one with potentially severe results. Those had little_______ for me.
I considered myself to be smarter than my old friends and was trying to develop _______ and diverse interests. I threw myself into my _______ and spent a long time in the library. I took an active part in community service. I gained confidence and the rewards of my study _______ my old friends wandered in school, with little thought or concern for their________. Could they support themselves in the future? Because of our ________ opinion, interests and values, the only________of our friendship, we chose to end it. I couldn’t ________their group just to be accepted.
