21、 For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.

Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

【1】The main idea about “latchkey children” is that they _______.

A．are growing in numbers

B．are also found in middle-class neighborhoods

C．watch too much television during the day

D．suffer problems from being left alone

【2】Which sentence in the second paragraph is the topic sentence?

A．We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.

C．I was constantly telling them to put inside their shirts.

D．They were house keys.

【3】The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is _______.

A．tiredness B．freedom  C．loneliness  D．fear

【4】We may draw a conclusion that _______.

A．latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time alone

B．latchkey children try to hide their feeling

C．latchkey children often watch TV with their parents

D．it’s difficult to find out how many latchkey children there are

22、It was our last class before summer break. I was finishing up the first year of an MFA program in poetry (诗歌). I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program?” When a professor (教授) asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (闲散的). “Gardening.” I responded immediately. In fact, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded, saying, “What a good idea, Mari! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.” Emily Dickinson had lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties living in the city without gardening experience.

A few days later, I bought a jalapeno seedling (青辣椒秧苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all.

I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeno was suffering. It was brown in some places, many of its leaves had fallen off. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, “Please be okay.” As if its survival were closely linked to mine.

I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeno plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper -a book of poems -in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said.

A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeno plant were gone. I watched closer. Where a flower had been a tiny green fruit pushed through. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeno plant had grown right beside me!

【1】Why did the author begin gardening?

D．Because of the professor’s words.

【2】When did the author begin her first gardening?

A．In her childhood.

B．In one of her summer breaks.

C．In her teens.

D．In her first year of MFA program.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．A talent to grow plants.

B．A dirty finger to touch plants.

C．A good luck to do everything.

D．An inability to do gardening.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A．The author was talented in writing poems.

B．The author had some hard time growing the jalapeno.

C．The professor liked Emily Dickinson very much.

D．The professor played an important role in the author’s success.

【5】Which proverb(谚语)can best describe the story above?

B．Easier said than done.

C．It’s never too old to learn.

D．Do not teach fish to swim.

23、Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people? Holding conversations may help.

Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone talks to other people frequently (频繁地). But talking to new people makes many people nervous. Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less awkward (尴尬的).

Body language

As strange as it may seem, much communication happens without any words. The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you’re talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you’re confident. And if you’re nervous, acting like you’re confident can help you feel more confident. When you’re listening, look at the other person. Lean forward to show that you’re interested in what they’re saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to participate. If you’re doing all the talking, pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don’t say anything, try asking them a question.

Questions can also help if you’re struggling (挣扎) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they’ll talk for a while. Maybe they’ll talk about some topics which will open your chatter box (话匣子). People are generally excited to find others with similar interests.

When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just “yes” or “no”. Open-ended questions in English tend to start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don’t fear silence.

Don’t panic if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you’re interested in. You could also comment on (评论) something you’ve done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

So if you’re shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will improve on holding conversations with time.

【1】Why may holding conversations NOT seem like a skill?

A．People know how to hold conversations very well.

B．Everyone talks to others from time to time.

C．It sometimes makes people feel very nervous.

D．People were born to talk to each other.

【2】All the following body language are mentioned EXCEPT ______.

A．smiling to people

B．leaning forward

C．standing straight

D．looking people in the eyes

【3】What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?

A．To show how to give a speech in public.

B．To teach us what topic to choose for a conversation.

C．To tell us both sides need to take part in a conversation.

D．To ask us to raise a question while talking with others.

【4】What does the underlined word “panic” in the second paragraph from bottom mean?

A．犹豫

B．高兴

C．担心

D．惊恐

24、阅读下面短文在文章空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When winter comes, most plants lose their leaves. But bamboo does not.

Bamboo is one of the 【1】 (fast) growing plants in the world. It can grow 60cm or more every day. Even 【2】 cold winter, bamboo stands up well and grows fast. Chinese people see this as bamboo’s spirit (精神). It is about being brave enough to face any 【3】 (difficult). Because of this, Chinese people love bamboo.

Bamboo is a common plant in China. It 【4】 (have) many uses in our daily life. People use bamboo to make many things such as chopsticks, baskets and even furniture. People also use bamboo shoots (竹笋) to cook all 【5】 (kind) of delicious food. Bamboo is also the 【6】 /meɪn/ food of pandas.
