21、 My kids and I were heading into the superstore over the weekend． On the way， we saw a man covered by a blanket and holding a sign that said， "Lost my job． Family to Feed．"
At this store， a sight like this is not normal． It was obvious that the man was embarrassed， but desperate． My 10-year-old noticed him and said how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind．
While we were in the store， I asked each of the kids to pick something they thought our "friend" outside would need． They picked a couple of apples， a package of bread， a sandwich， some cheese and a bottle of juice． Then my 17-year-old asked， "Can we get him a gift card？" I thought about it． We were low on cash ourselves， but …well， sometimes giving from our "need" instead of our "abundance （充裕）" is just what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week．
We quickly checked out， with the foods he could eat at the moment， and a gift card for the store． At the suggestion of my 16-year-old， we also bought a hot cup of coffee， and then drove to the end of the parking lot， where our "friend" was holding his sign．
We handed him the coffee and the bag of food． He thanked us with watery eyes． When I handed him the gift card and said he could use it for whatever his family might need， he burst into tears， obviously overwhelmed and grateful．
Though I wished we could have done more， I can't help but think about how this experience has been such a wonderful opportunity for our family． The feeling of helping someone else has affected them all---they cannot stop talking about it， and for four days now have been searching for others we can help!
Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said， "No， we really don't have money to give more，" or something to that effect． Stepping out not only helped a brother in need， it also gave my kids the______ taste of helping others．
【1】Which is the right order of what happened in the story？ ______
a． The man was grateful with tears．
b． Each child picked some food for the man in the store．
c． A poor man lost his job and asked people for help．
d． All kids did away with something and gave him a gift card．
e． They saw the poor man outside the supermarket and took pity on him．
A. c-e-b-d-a
B. c-e-d-b-a
C. e-c-d-b-a
D. e-c-b-d-a
【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. giving him some food
B. giving from our abundance
C. giving from our need
D. giving him a postcard
【3】The best word could be filled in the blank in the last paragraph should be ______ ．
A. terrible
B. sweet

22、Temidayo Adedokun, 31, who was born in Nigeria and now is working in America, became pregnant with her first child. She couldn’t hide her joy, and couldn’t wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.
“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic(美学的) products that were designed from an authentic place, ” Temidayo said.
Temidayo decided to take matters into her own hands. At first, she focused on creating clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.
The feedback she got gave her just enough confidence. She figured she’d make the baby clothes an after-work side business to her full-time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California, until one day she was told she was given a boot. Once again, she needed to make her own choice. That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.
“I had to evaluate: Am I going to search for another job I don’t have a great desire for?” she said. “Or am I going to take this as a chance I’m not sure about myself? After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens? However, for the symbols of children’s clothing in my heart, I threw myself into it. So I chose the latter. ”Then, in March 2020, Temidayo officially announced her own brand: Ade + Ayo.
Since then, Temidayo has received much praise from other African parents informing her that her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world. “I feel very blessed to be able to be doing this,” she said.
【1】How did Temidayo feel after trying to buy African aesthetic clothes?

C．Stressful.
D．Disappointed.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “given a boot” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Dismissed.
B．Promoted.
C．Well-known.
D．Accused.
【3】What did Temidayo originally think of her creating her own brand?
A．It was informal.
B．It was profitable.
C．It was risky.
D．It was trendy.
【4】How can we evaluate Ade + Ayo?
A．It’s created African aesthetics.
B．It’s spread authentic cultures.
C．It’s targeted overseas Africans.
D．It’s inspired people’s creativity.
23、 For years, business people in Western Europe were worried. They knew they could not compete against business from the U.S. The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European countries.
Some European people realized that the European nations need to join together to help each other. If they could forget their language differences and the differences in customs, they might become strong competition against other countries.
In 1958, six of the European countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Italy got together and decided to cooperate. They called their group the European Economic Community, or the Common Market. These countries agreed to join their resources together.
Within a few years, the European Economic Community had worked so well that its members were more prosperous than many other European nations. Soon, other nations began to realize the advantage of the Common Market. Today the Common Market includes most of the important countries in Western Europe. It is helping Western Europe to again take its place as a leader among the industrial nations of the world.
【1】From the passage we know the U.S. is much richer than ________ in resources.
A.any other Western European countries B.any other country in Western Europe

A.share their resources and become more prosperous
B.can again take the place as a leader in the world

24、In 2016, inspired by a challenge called the “16 for 16”, where a mother gave her daughter $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media, Lorna Klefsaas decided to up the ante (赌注) to two extra years and $200 more for her son, Sivert Klefsaas.
As a 12-year-old, Sivert wasn’t using social media much. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat — which he deleted a day after trying it out. So it wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and he didn’t think about it much during the six years. “I wouldn’t say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break,” he said. “As it went on, it was more of a pride thing.”
Lorna never had to check for any secretly downloaded apps. “I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there. I had my friends to keep me up to date on the latest information or trends.” Sivert said. “It meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.”
On February 19, 2022, Sivert claimed his prize. Now $1,800 richer, Sivert hasn’t thought about what to buy, but it’ll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of St. Paul, which he’ll attend in the fall.
After Sivert’s success, Lorna turned to Facebook to share the challenge. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents seemed interested in trying it out too. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it,” Lorna noted. “It’s about not letting yourself get weighed down by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post.”
Now Sivert has a new perspective on staying off social media. “It was awesome. Ah, what about 6 more years? Thank you, Mom.”
【1】Why did Lorna bet her son?
A．To challenge.
B．To persuade.
C．To punish.
D．To imitate.
【2】How did Sivert respond to the bet?
A．He almost became broken down.
B．He jumped at the idea and stuck to it.
C．He tried out his new app continuously.
D．He just downloaded an app, Snapchat.
【3】How did Sivert get through the six years without social media?
A．By being supervised by his mother.
B．By watching dramas in the theater.
C．By aiming at his academic standards.
D．By dreaming of his prize with eagerness.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A．A successful 18-for-18 bet.
B．A social media campaign.
C．Sivert, a boy who won the bet.
D．Lorna, a mother who awarded her son.

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。
The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.
Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.
It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.
Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.
We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”
