21、 The percentage of Hispanic(拉美裔的) students who graduate from college in six years or less continues to follow that of white students, according to a new study of graduation figures at more than 600 colleges.
In the study sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute examined graduation rates for students who entered college in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and found that 51 percent of those identified as Hispanic earned bachelor’s degrees in six years or less, compared with 59 percent of white students. In some ways, the rates echoed the conclusion that Hispanic students trailed their white peers no matter how selective the colleges’ admissions processes, which was made seven years ago by the Pew Hispanic Center. Accordingly,university administrators sometimes described white students as “better prepared academically and financially for college”.
The researchers of the study delivered one statement to the US federal government,which responded,“We are to recover our position as the nation with the highest concentration of adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.”
“Given the changing demographics(人口统计数据) of the United States, ” the researchers write, “this target cannot be achieved without increasing the rate at which Hispanic students obtain a college degree.”
The study recommended that colleges adopt an “institution-wide commitment to insuring that all their students graduate”, and that the government tie aid to colleges which serve their students well, but not simply enroll many students.
【1】What conclusion can be drawn from the study?
A．Hispanic students who receive college education are less.
B．Few Hispanic students could spend six years or less in colleges.
C．Hispanic students have a lower graduation rate than white pees.
D．The chance for Hispanic students to go to selective schools is slim.
【2】What does this underlined word “trailed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Went beyond
B．Amounted to.
C．Pulled down.
D．Fell behind
【3】Which one may be the barrier to the goal of US federal government?
A．No financial supports to the Hispanic student.
B．Hispanic students’ failure to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
C．Hispanic students’ difficulty in fitting in with the society.
D．The selectiveness of the colleges towards Hispanic students.
【4】What does the study suggest the government do?
A．Require colleges to ensure their graduate rates.
B．Give aid to schools with more enrolled students.
C．Help Hispanic students with financial problems.
D．Support colleges with good service for their students.
22、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as“the entertainment industry”or“show business.”
The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many.
【1】The United States is a typical country ________.
A. which encourages free trade at home and abroad
B. where people’s chief concern is how to make money
C. where all businesses are managed scientifically
D. which normally works according to the federal budget
【2】The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that ________.
A. most newspapers are run by big businesses
B. even public organizations concentrate on working for profits
C. Americans of all professions know how to do business
D. even arts and entertainment are regarded as business
【3】Henry Ford’s statement can be taken negatively because ________.
A. working people are discouraged to fight for their fights
B. there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists
C. there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor
D. public services are not run by the federal government
【4】A company’s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ________.
A. reduction in the number of employees
B. improvement of working conditions
C. fewer disputes between labor and management
D. a rise in workers’ wages
23、 You may have come across the picture that has a number drawn on the floor with two people standing on either side of the number. One person sees a 6, and the other sees a 9.【1】
They could either stay there arguing and holding on to their ideas, or they could move around and see the difference in their thoughts. This is perspective （视角）.
【2】The world would be a better place if people understood this. But before you start thinking of how you can start seeing things from the perspective of another person, you need to first know what a life perspective is.
Just like the example, life perspective is the way we see life, including the way we approach life and all that are in our personal experience. 【3】 What we usually have are two different perspectives on one thing. We have a person saying something is bad and should not be done, and then we have another person saying that “bad” is a strong word to use for the same thing.
【4】And everyone sees things a lot differently compared to the next person. This makes life more complex because, instead of seeing the similarities we share, we often focus on what is different, which leads to disagreements and fights.【5】It's likely that these problems no longer annoy you.
A.There are more than 7 billion people in the world.
B.In our life, few things are absolutely right or wrong.
C.It seems difficult to decide which perspective is wrong.
D.Simply make a switch and see from a different perspective.
E.A perspective on life can be shaped, changed, or explained.
F.They are both right, yet they are wrong in the eyes of the other person.
G.And they usually make us believe that we are the one who s holding the truth.
24、The term “seal” is often used to refer to both seals and sea lions, but there are several characteristics that set seals and sea lions apart.
Seals and sea lions are both in the order Carnivora and suborder Pinnipedia, thus they are called “pinnipeds.” Pinnipeds are mammals that are well-adapted for swimming. They usually have a streamlined barrel shape (桶形) and four flippers at the end of each limb (四肢). They also give birth to live young and nurse their young. Pinnipeds are protected by a thick layer of fat under their skin and fur to keep them warm in water. There are three families of pinnipeds: the Phocidae, the earless or true seals; the Otariidae, the eared seals, and the Odobenidae, the walruses.
Characteristics of Phocidae (Earless or True Seals)
Earless seals have no visible ear flaps, although they still have ears, which may be visible as a dark spot or small hole on the side of their head.
“True” seals:
Have no external ear flaps.
Swim with their hind flippers. Their hind flippers always face backward and are furred.
Have front flippers that are short, furry and thick in appearance.
Can be found in both marine and freshwater environments.
Characteristics of Otariidae (Eared Seals, Including Fur Seals and Sea Lions)
One of the most noticeable features of eared seals is their ears, but they also move around differently than true seals.
Eared seals:
Have external ear flaps.
Are only found in marine environments.
Swim with their front flippers. Unlike earless seals, their hind flippers can turn forward, and they are able to walk, and even run, on their flippers. The “seals” you may see performing at marine parks are often sea lions.
May gather in larger groups than true seals. Sea lions are much more vocal than true seals, and make a variety of loud, barking noises.
Characteristics of Walruses
Wondering about walruses, and how they differ from seals and sea lions? Walruses are pinnipeds, but they are in the family, Odobenidae. One obvious difference between walruses, seals and sea lions is that walruses are the only pinnipeds with tusks—a pair of long pointed teeth. These tusks are present in both males and females.
Other than tusks, walruses have some similarities to both seals and sea lions. Like true seals, walruses don’t have visible ear flaps. But, like eared seals, walruses can walk on their flippers by rotating their hind flippers under their body.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements about pinnipeds is true?
A．Pinnipeds are good swimmers.
B．Pinnipeds are afraid of cold weather.
C．Pinnipeds are of the Phocidae family.
D．Seals and sea lions are pinnipeds, while walruses are not.
【2】One way to distinguish a sea lion and a true seal is that ________.
A．the sea lion cannot play ball
B．the true seal cannot hear well
C．the sea lion doesn’t have ear flaps
D．the true seal can’t walk with hind flippers
【3】Which of the following picture best illustrates a walrus?
A．
B．
C．
D．

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。
1,642-foot Squaw Peak, with its particularly inviting views of western Massachusetts, has tricked hikers into overlooking the potential danger among its steep, slippery cliffs, resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant, soon starting his freshman year at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak’s record. As such, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while he was waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019. He watched some hikers enjoy the remarkable view; among these hikers, one woman, around 60 years old and dressed in pink, was peeking over (探身看) the lip of the cliff with her husband.
When Grant’s mother rejoined him, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard a tumbling(摔倒), a thump(重击声), and another thump. Then he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!” a man yelled desperately. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, she had fallen off the side of the mountain. Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by trees. Grant told his mother: “I hate to say this, but I am afraid a woman hiker just fell off the cliff.” Uncertain whether they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the mountain path.
But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. “I can do it,” he thought to himself. Having promised to his mother that he would be safe, he hiked off the path alone, hoping he wasn’t too late. After 15 minutes of climbing over huge rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping down areas of loose dirt, Grant spotted a figure dressed in pink about 25 feet above him. She curled up on her knees on a small sticking-out rock. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Fortunately, she was alive.
“Paula!” Grant shouted. “Paula! Is that you?”
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。

The woman barely responded, and she was clearly hurt, struggling to stay conscious.
