21、请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Everyone procrastinates．We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates．Putting things off – big or small – is part of being human．But procrastination does have consequences．When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-schedule。
An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for．You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like．Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due．Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan．By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper．
The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper．You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later．In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects．
Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time．You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change．It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule．Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation．
You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal．Reward yourself for your small successes．Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process．
As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation．You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically．But you can change the behavior, bit by bit．If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits．
【1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________．
A．usually have sleeping problems
B．tend to be unrealistic in daily life
C．spend more time in doing exercise
D．often fail to notice untimed activities
【2】Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?
A．“Now I have more time for fun.”
B．“I can start my big project later.”
C．“I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”
D．“I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”
【3】According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their _．
A．interests in doing things differently
B．determination to try out new things
C．inability to manage time properly
D．lack of concentration on a project
22、 There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship canˈt be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.
【1】What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Differ. B.Prevent. C.Benefit. D.Change.
【2】What do we know from the text?
A.The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B.A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C.The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.
D.Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
【3】How does the author mainly prove his statements?
A.By listing data. B.By giving explanations.
C.By quoting sayings. D.By making examples.
23、We’ve all been there, trying our best to do our bit to help save the planet, when a really essential item that you had to order online arrives in such an unbelievable amount of packaging that it makes you feel like it’s an unprepared game of passing the parcel.
It’s made even worse by the fact that some of the packaging can’t be recycled. In fact, 10 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced in the UK every year. A lot of this ends up in landfill, two-thirds of which could have instead been recovered.
The good news, however, is that how packaging waste is managed is in for a BIG shake-up in line with the “polluter pays principle”. By placing the main point of duty to pay on brand owners, they will be encouraged to choose more sustainable packaging options which are recyclable and reusable as much as possible. Otherwise, they will have to pay higher fees.
This is a system known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) — meaning that those who have control over packaging design decisions will be encouraged to do the right thing for the planet at the beginning and consider what happens at the end of the packaging’s life from the start.
What this means is that instead of local authorities picking up the bill for household waste management, companies will have instead to pay for managing your household packaging waste as well as the form businesses, and they will be met with the associated little costs too.
And, as an added bonus, the new EPR laws on packaging will also mean that producers are required to put clear mandatory (强制性的) labelling on packaging, for example, this could be “RECYCLE” or “DO NOT RECYCLE”. Of course, we hope that the “DO NOT RECYCLE” category labelling is the minority. It is aimed that by 2030, 78% of packaging will be recycled in the UK.
【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．Two-thirds of packaging waste is recycled.
B．Over-packaging is often the case in life.
C．The quality of goods cannot be guaranteed.
D．Online shopping is getting less popular.
【2】Who will be responsible for paying packaging waste costs according to the law?
A．Designers.
B．Producers.
C．Customers.
D．Local authorities.
【3】What can the EPR laws lead the brand owners to do?
A．Pay higher taxes and recycle the packaging waste.
B．Put clear labelling on packaging and promote sales.
C．Cut packaging waste and improve packaging recycling.
D．Follow the packaging design trend and to right things.
【4】What can be learned about the items ordered online in the future?
A．Their labelling on packaging will be simple and generous.
B．The majority of their packaging needn’t be recycled.
C．They will be of high quality and inexpensive.
D．They’ll arrive in the right amount of recyclable packaging.

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。
Every Christmas, people in shopping malls, grocery stores and on street corners collect donations for the Salvation Army’s programs for those in need. And bell-ringers are volunteers helping collect donations. That probably doesn’t seem like a big deal to most people, but I find it difficult - in fact, ridiculously hard - to ask people for anything, even though I quite enjoy helping others when they need a hand.
My friends will tell you I’m outgoing, independent, even adventurous. Yet, when I’m sick I’d rather stagger out of the door half-dead to buy some chicken soup than ask a friend or neighbor for help. When I sign up for a run to raise money for cancer, I donate the cash myself rather than asking others. The thought of asking a friend for a ride to the airport is way too stressful, even though I know the answer would be yes.
So, I decided one Christmas I would take a baby step in learning to ask. I’d do a few shifts (轮班) as a “bell-ringer” to see how it felt to ask perfect strangers to give.
I arrived early and tried to calm my nerves as I approached the man standing by the donation box. For weeks, I had prepared myself for this. I put the instruction sheet on my refrigerator and re-read it many times. But I could not have felt worse as I slipped on the Salvation Army vest (背心) and took my spot beside the donation box.
The man who had been a volunteer for a decade gave me some tips before he left. I thanked him and consciously tried to follow the tips. Stand (don’t sit), smile, make eye contact, and don’t ring the bell too loud or too often.
It felt awkward at first. My location on the second floor of shopping mall wasn’t a busy spot, so I tried to smile and catch the eyes of every passerby. Most quickly glanced away. I worried I was making them feel guilty. I didn’t like that at all.
