21、One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do, according to the association of scholars known as Three Dog Night. But what if there are many numbers even less popular than one?
For reasons totally unrelated to classic rock, author Alex Bellos set out to find the world’s favorite numbers. His online survey swiftly received more than 30,000 votes from numberphiles around the world. Voters gave many reasons for their favorites, though they usually orresponded to an important date or age or other positive association.
Overall, odd numbers outperformed evens. And Bellos suggests that numbers ending in zero were too round for most tastes. “When we say 100, we don’t usually mean exactly 100; we mean around 100,” Bellos told Nautilus magazine. “Why would you have something as your favorite that is so vague?”
Numbers that serve a higher purpose did well. For instance, 42--the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything” from The Hitchhiker ‘s Guide to the Galaxy--landed in 11th place. The lovely, symmetrical （对称的） number eight, which is pronounced “ba-” in Chinese and rhymes with the Chinese character “fa-” signifying prosperity, came in third. Second place went to the number three, perhaps for its many appearances in nature and culture: the number of leaves on a typical clover （三叶草）, little pigs pursued by a certain wolf, musketeers （火箭手） in the Dumas novel, and wishes offered by genies.
But the clear winner is the number seven, winning nearly 10 percent of the total vote. Shocked? But seven’s triumph also reaffirms a human fascination that goes back thousands of years. Bellos points out that ancient Babylonian tablets were riddled with sevens. There are also seven dwarfs, seven deadly sins, and seven days of the week. We even speak of seventh heaven as the final happiness.
But all of this, Bellos suspects, is the effect and not the cause of our like for seven. He assumes that seven is a stone-cold rebel that follows no rules but its own.
“Seven is the only number among those we can count on our hands, one to ten, that cannot be divided or multiplied within the group,” Bellos explains. One, two, three, four, and five can each be doubled to reach two, four, six, eight, and ten. Nine is divisible by three. Seven, then, is the only number between two and ten that is neither a multiple nor a factor of the others.
【1】The most common reason for voters’ decision is that ________.
A．this number is more likely to be an odd number
B．this number appears most frequently in their life
C．this number is usually associated with loneliness
D．this number relates to something valuable to them
【2】Which of the following statements is Alex Bellos most likely to agree with?
A．100 has long been favoured by many people because it conveys a vague meaning.
B．seven is a popular number because it is common in the context of nature and culture.
C．42 is many people’s favourite number because it is an important number in a novel.
D．eight has been a lucky number in China because it is symmetrical in shape.
【3】What does Alex Bellos say about the number of seven?
A．It is the only number that is attached to positive feeling.
B．It stands alone among the numbers from one to ten in a sense.
C．It was considered a unique number by Babylonian people.
D．It doesn’t serve as a factor of any other number.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．People’s favourite numbers.
B．Why seven is most liked by people.
C．Alex Bellos’ book about numbers.
D．Cultural meaning of numbers.

Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven and Mozart. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down students’ bad behavior?
The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.
Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were “not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学生) or the people who are late for school…It’s those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone”. Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students fail to focus their attention on their study.
Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. “It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances,” he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. “Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don’t normally have and don’t want to have again, so it’s both educational and acts as a warning.”
Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants’ bad behavior.
However, one West Park student called Kieran said, “An hour of Mr. Walker’s music is a real killer.”
【1】Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.
A. make them rest after a day’s study
B. punish them for their bad behavior
C. get them to love arts gradually
D. reduce their bad behavior
【2】A student who _____ may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.
A. plays truant B. smokes in class
C. bothers others in class D. comes late for class
【3】Why does Mr. Walker say some students’ bad behavior is unacceptable?
A. Because the rest of the students hate them.
B. Because they are wasting their life.
C. Because they are disturbing teachers.
D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.
【4】In the eyes of Mr. Walker, _____.
A. some students don’t realize education is valuable
B. all students can learn from music
C. music must be taught after class
D. students ought to love music
【5】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____.
A. the action Mr. Walker takes sometimes doesn’t really work as planned
B. Mr. Walker aims to tell students study is important
C. once music helped animals behave well
D. animals also like to listen to music
23、I can remember when my daughter Maggie, who is now six, used to crawl into my lap and say, “Daddy, read me a story.” Last year she announced, “Daddy, I’m going to read you a story.”
Maggie was a television child. When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping, the TV set was right there, and it soon commanded her attention.
A few years ago, we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read, but that we’d forget how to read ourselves. But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV, but more reading than ever before in history.
Clearly, reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things. When I was six, a wail went up about menaces (威胁) to reading at home: motor cars and cinema. When Maggie came along, there was television. The motorcar, the radio, the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.
Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.
At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy. For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.
And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.”
【1】Why do the young generation like Maggie have more access to reading?
A．They face less working pressure.
B．There is more time available for reading.
C．Their parents encourage them more often.
D．They have a stronger desire for knowledge.
【2】What makes the author envious of Maggie?
A．Her exposure to classic reading.
B．Her productive works in writing.
C．Her wild imagination in daily life.
D．Her spiritual reflection on the books.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 imply?
A．Maggie has rich experiences.
B．Maggie has a good plan for reading.
C．Maggie will benefit a lot from reading.
D．Maggie is on the road to becoming a genius.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Reading makes Maggie a fortunate girl.
B．More girls like Maggie enjoy telling stories.
C．Maggie’s daughter brings her the biggest thrill.
D．It is a blessing that reading can be passed down.
24、 Researcher Ramon Llopis of the University of Valencia is a member of the international group behind Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE), the aim of which is to develop a better understanding of football as a social and cultural phenomenon in Europe. The starting point is the “strong belief that football has important things to say about Europe and its citizens”.
Llopis tells us that the research points to football as “an important presence in the daily lives of many Europeans. Even people who are not particularly interested in the sport cannot avoid the discussions it creates, regardless of age, class and region.” He adds that “football is more than an activity which is done for enjoyment. It increases a sense of collective identity (集体认同).”
Football is a topic of exchange and conversation between Europeans of different ages and social classes. Based on the surveys carried out in the early stages of the project, 63.3%of people who call themselves football fans have chatted about football with someone from another European country in the past twelve months, 70%of football fans watch matches and summaries from leagues (联赛) outside of their country of origin, and 53.4% habitually follow the results and news from other European leagues on the Internet and social media.
So, rather than consider professional football as an economic activity or a healthy activity for both players and fans, public authorities should be aware of its huge socio-cultural impact. They should also pay attention to the increasing bad feeling surrounding football as a result of its commercialization (商业化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.
【1】What can we learn about FREE from Paragraph 1?
A.It studies the impact of football on world culture.
B.It educates the public about the history of football.
C.It brings together researchers from several countries.
D.It is a project carried out by the University of Valencia.
【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The history of football. B.The power of football.
C.The growth of football. D.The standard of football.
【3】How does the author explain that football is a big part of Europeans' conversation?
A.By using research findings.
B.By providing examples
C.By telling true stories.
D.By following the order of time.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the future of football in Europe?
A.Hopeful. B.Uncertain. C.Satisfied. D.Worried.

“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 50 of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will 51 the cold winter? ”

Suddenly I felt a bit 53 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t 54 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he threw the ball at a vase（花瓶）—his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued（用胶水粘）the pieces together and put the vase back to its place.
The mother noticed the cracks（裂纹）that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, Ben’s mother realized she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to. bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the living room at once. As he had already lied, he was determined to deny（否认）everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the living room, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. Instead, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
Paragraph 1:
The mother said, "This chocolate is a reward（奖励）for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”

Paragraph 2:
