21、 As a volunteer teacher, I moved into an apartment with eagerness. Sorting all the necessary paperwork out, I got ready to start my work. Great, or so I thought. At 4 a.m. and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awaken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.
In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water line, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasn’t broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.
As for the general Lack of equipment in the hose, there was no oven. tin opener, or sharp knives. It turns out making a vegetarian burger from scratch wasn’t the best idea. I had a small microwave and a grill. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on. Smoke soon started to appear. I'm not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out, I spent the fallowing 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.
Luckily, I’m now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I am learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils (用具).

22、The simple word “fun” only has one syllable（音节）, so you'd think you'd add “er” or “est” on it to create comparatives or superlatives. But if you were to say “I think Magic Kingdom is a funner park than Epcot.” or “Fantasy World was the funnest vacation ever!” , you might get some strange looks. It sounds like something cute-because-it's-wrong that a little kid would say. You might begin to doubt the existence of such a word as “funner”. But. . . why? “Fun” has one syllable. So why do we choose to use “more fun” as the comparative—especially considering that the similar word “funny”, which has more syllables than “fun”, uses the suffixes（后缀）with no problem?
Well, the confusion comes from the fact that the word “fun” was not originally an adjective（形容词）. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as “amusement” in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we'd describe “a fun time” or “a fun place” today.
And, as they usually do when people use words wrong, grammar experts blamed this usage, one professor saying that hearing the adjective version of “fun” caused severe sickness" in him. But obviously, that didn't stop people from using “fun” as an adjective, which brought up the question of its comparative and superlative forms.
Grammarians have mostly come around to the use of “fun” as an adjective though some dictionaries still call it informal, but the comparative and superlative forms are a bit more wishy-washy. There was and remains a mentality of “Fine, you can use ‘fun’ as an adjective. . . but, like, it's not a real one, so it can't follow the rules of real adjectives”. Most dictionaries agree that the answer to “is funner a word?” is yes. But this doesn't mean that "more fun" and "most fun" are incorrect. In fact, in formal writing, you'll probably still want to use those instead of “funner” and “funnest”.

A．It began to be used as an adjective.

D．It appeared in formal writing.
【3】What was grammarians' attitude towards using “fun”as an adjective?

【4】What's the best title for the text?

23、I’m a grandma in my 60s. In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a screen and that was when I first got into the YouTube world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, YouTube turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes. I found all this calming. Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, such pretty clothes they were wearing!
At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snowbanks in dresses? The questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.
In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. YouTube can be a rich source of entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content with the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.

24、Plagiarism is the act of representing another person’s words or ideas as your own. The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copied—or bought—from somebody else.
Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other people’s work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism.
Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passage that is similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services are widely used. Turnitin.com, for example, says it is used in more than 100 countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day.
Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the course. Some schools expel plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.
Accidental plagiarism can sometimes result from cultural differences. At Indiana University in Bloomington, 60 percent of students who use the Office of Writing Tutorial Services are non-native English speakers. The director, Joanne Vogt, says some have no idea that copying from published works is considered wrong. She says students from China, for example, may think they are offending readers if they credit other people’s works. They believe that educated readers should already know where the information came from.
The more you give credit, the less you risk charge with plagiarism. Any sentence taken directly from a source should appear inside quotation marks. And even if you put those sentences into your own words, you should still give credit to where you got the information.
【1】According to the passage, what is the role of the Internet in Plagiarism?
A．The Internet contributes to people copying papers from others easily.
B．The Internet discourages people from choosing proper papers to copy.
C．The Internet enables people to share their papers with others.
D．The Internet helps people get their papers published online.
【2】We can infer from the passage that teachers know a paper is copied when they .
A．happen to be familiar with the content of the paper
B．make investigations concerning the paper among students
C．search journal and magazines in the library for the original paper
D．compare the paper with many others online to search for the copied ones
【3】Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the punishment for plagiarism?
A．Withdrawal of some degrees
B．Being forced to leave school
C．A failing grade
D．Fine of a certain amount of money
【4】The underlined expression “give credit” in the last paragraph probably means .
A．admit that the original writer has a good reputation
B．owe what you’ve quoted from other sources to the original writers
C．praise the original writer for providing useful information
D．give the original writer a credit card for your copying the paper

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。
Not too long ago, I was at the grocery store, and an elderly man in front of me was using a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) card, which we used to call food stamps. The card reader kept rejecting his payment. He had apparently gone over his limit for the month. He was confused about how it had happened and more than a little upset about the situation.
While I was trying to decide if the man would feel uncomfortable or grateful if I offered to step in and pay for him, the young man checking him out, who I thought was still in high school, said, “Sir, this happens all the time. It’s not a problem. I bet we can figure out a solution together.”
The line behind us was growing long, but the young man didn’t show a little impatience or anger. He confirmed that the man was, indeed, over his limit for the month and found the amount of the overage. Turned out, he wasn’t over by much, so the checker helped the customer determine which two or three items that he could make do without until his account was filled.
“You’ll definitely want to keep the milk, the butter, the eggs and the bread,” I remember the young man saying as he looked through the already bagged groceries. Then the young clerk, who had clearly done this before, pulled out a jar of salsa, a bottle of juice and some crackers that he and his customer agreed could wait until the beginning of the new month.
The young man definitely told his older customer, once again, that it was a common occurrence and not a problem at all. The man left with his dignity unhurt and, no doubt, with a renewed sense of loyalty to that grocery-store chain. Seeing what the young man had done to deal with such a situation, I decided to tell him what a good job he had done.
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。
When it was my turn to check out, I told the young man that he had done an extraordinary job of handling the situation.
