21、It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, colours, all are in a constant state of flux (不断的变动) — as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.
That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone us it. Latch that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst scar — the arm needed total rest.
Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn’t travel, I could’t go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude inter vent ions and their role in boosting mood and well being. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily cask. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.
Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don’t notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don’t just take my word for it — experience it for yourself.
【1】What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon ?
A．She went to her classmate’s degree show in a hurry.
B．She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone.
C．She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.
D．She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.
【2】The underlined word “cantankerous”in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．suspicious of the hospital diagnosis
B．desperate to have my injury treated
C．enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing
D．bad-tempered and always complaining
【3】The writer photographed the boring life routine because______.
A．underlying magic consisted in daily affairs
B．gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom
C．it was central to the essence of photography
D．she felt like being assigned demanding tasks
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ?
A．Express Gratitude to Winter
B．Become a Master of Photography
C．Witness Re birth out of Injury
D．Picture this beauty in the Ordinary
22、 It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn't think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems，things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches，but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches， but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong，but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded，Take your time; it's warm in here.”
On a hunch (直觉)，I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address— they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and saying something loudly and excitedly to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action，much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day，so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day， our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later，as the family walked to the door to leave, the four year -old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today.”
【1】What did the author learn from the family s descriptions of presenting problems?
A.Two of the children had headaches.
B.One of the children had earaches.
C.The mother pretended to be coughing.
D.The whole family were seriously ill.
【2】The author made sure that the family were homeless by ______.
A.asking them some questions
B.listening to their introduction
C.observing their facial expressions
D.checking their registration information
【3】After knowing about the homeless family， the nurses ______.
A.gave them a medical treatment
B.provided them with a big dinner
C.prepared a Christmas tree for them
D.held a big Christmas party for them
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.An Unusual Christmas Emergency
B.Warm hearted and Beautiful Nurse Angels
C.Having Christmas Together With a Poor Family
D.Receiving Special Christmas Guests in the Waiting Room
23、 Danez Smith, one of America's most popular young poets and the author of Don't Call Us Dead, recommends his 5 favorite books.
Lilith's Brood by Octavia E. Butler (1989)
This book about aliens from the novelist who predicted "Make America Great Again" asks necessary questions about the harmful structures which we put our faith in despite our intelligence, and also how or if we will evolve out of our most dangerous selves. An essential, human book — with aliens!
The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton (2012)
The book is my bible. Open up to any page and Clifton delivers a word. Whether the subject is roaches, family, death, or surviving, she has a poem for all occasions. She can create the most complicated magic out of the simplest words.
Man vs. Sky by Corey Zeller (2013)
In his brief prose poems, Zeller represents the voice of a recently dead friend as he travels through the afterlife. Besides attracting me with its beauty to this day, it taught me that we can offer the dead not just our grief but our imaginations and dreams as well.
My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi (2014)
I'm a sucker for high school drama, superpowers, good-hearted heroes, and complicated bad characters. This manga（动漫）series is one of my favorite escapes. In a world where everybody and their mama has a superpower (literally), what makes someone a hero isn't about power or strength but about the desire to make people smile. Instant tears.
Deus Ex Nigrum by Jasmine Reid (2019)
I recently picked this chapbook for a prize. It's a marvel of language and heart. Reid's lyrics map the ordinary and the extraordinary with rare and invigorating skill. In a world and a country ever dangerous to the black people, this poet says, "If I am to be a twist ending, let it be that I lived." I am so excited to follow Reid's poems into the future.
【1】Which author describes people from other planets?
A.Octavia E. Butler. B.Kohei Horikoshi.
C.Jasmine Reid. D.Corey Zeller.
【2】In which book can we find something about racial justice?
A.Lilith's Brood. B.My Hero Academia.
C.Man vs. Sky. D.Deus Ex Nigrum.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A.Corey Zeller's recently dead friend has the superpower to make dreams come true.
B.In a world where everyone has superpower, people have a desire to smile.
C.Clifton makes full use of simple words.
D.My Hero Academia has won National Book Award

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。续写 的词数应为150左右。
I had never been more anxious in my life. I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home. Now, as I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk, I realized that my anxiety had only just begun.
This was my first visit alone to the international terminal of the airport, and nothing was familiar. I couldn’t make sense of any of the signs. Where was the check-in counter? Where should I take my luggage? I had no idea where to go, feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid. I began to panic. What time was it? Where was my plane? I had to find help because I couldn’t be late!
I tried to ask a passing businessman for help, but my words all came out wrong. He just frowned and walked away. What had happened? I had been in this country for a whole semester, and I couldn’t even remember how to ask for directions. This was awful! Another bus arrived at the terminal, and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage. Here was my chance! I could follow them to the right place, and I would not have to say a word.
I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and followed the group. We finally reached the elevators. Oh, no! They all fit in it, but there was not enough room for me. I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed. I was abandoned again! I had no idea what to do next. I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons. Which one could it be? I pressed button 3, because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3, though it was no more than a quick glance. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop. There were no check-in counters! I looked around shyly, only to find an elderly man standing at the corner. He was an airport employee.
Paragraph 1:
Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
