21、We all grew up hearing parents and teachers tell us to do well in school. The fact is that if so, we’ll have many more choices in the future. However, no matter how far you are in your education, it can be a challenge. 【1】
Take notes while you listen or read. 【2】 Besides, it also helps your brain stay active and absorb information adequately. If your teacher allows you to take notes while they’re talking in class, write down key points in the text, or make note of questions you have about the material while you read.
Ask questions if you don’t understand something. It’s your teachers' job to help you learn and understand. 【3】 Asking questions will not only help you learn the material better but will also show your teachers that you’re engaged and interested.
【4】 This may seem pretty obvious, but it can be easy to get swamped (不堪承受) and lose track of all the work you’re supposed to be doing. Make sure to complete your assigned reading and stay on top of any work you’re required to hand in. Not only will your grades suffer if you don’t do your homework assignments, but you also won’t learn as much!
Participate in after-class activities. Consider signing up for school clubs, sports teams, or student committees. These activities can be fun and enriching, and they’re also a good way for you to get to know your teachers and fellow students. 【5】
A．Take frequent breaks while you study.
B．Keep up with your homework assignments.
C．Most students don’t know how to take notes.
D．Therefore, don’t hesitate to ask them questions.
E．Luckily the tips below are of practical help to you.
F．Taking notes helps you remember what you hear or read.
G．Additionally, they will look good on college and job applications.
22、Horace was born in 65 BCE, in the town of Venusia in Apulia, an area in Southern Italy. His father was a freedman and small landowner; historians disagree on whether or not he had ever been a slave. The Roman historian Suetonius wrote that his father might have been a “ dealer in salted foods ” . Though not quite rich, his father spent considerable amounts of money on Horace’s schooling and sent him to the finest school in Rome. Later, the son was sent to Athens to study Greek.
It was while Horace was in Athens that he joined the army of Marcus Junius Brutus against Octavian, who was the future Augustus and first Roman emperor. Brutus’ forces eventually lost at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE. As a result of the defeat, his military career was over and he lost his family’s property.
Augustus pardoned his enemies and Horace returned to Rome, where he got a position as a clerk in the government. It was at this time that he wrote his first series of poems, something that brought him into contact with Virgil and Varius Rufus. The two celebrated poets introduced him to Gaius Maecenas, a wealthy supporter of young poets, who would have a powerful effect on his life. He was not only an author himself but a personal friend and advisor to Augustus, and through him, Horace would meet the emperor. Maecenas soon recognized the young poet’s outstanding gift and gave him a farm near Rome at Tivoli, a place where Horace wrote his extraordinary poems in peace.
In 23 BCE he published three books of Odes in which poems celebrated Rome at the age of Augustus. Horace said the poems were modeled after the great Greek poets, and he believed Rome had to recognize that the Greeks were better in all intellectual (智力的) and cultural fields.
In the final years of his life, he wrote Ars Poetica, a far-reaching work on the art of writing poetry. He eventually became one of Rome’s best-loved poets. On November 27, 8 BCE Horace died, two months after his life-long friend Maecenas.
【1】Which word can best describe Horace’s early life?
A．Free.
B．Independent.
C．Rich.
D．Well-educated.
【2】Which is the correct order about Horace’s events?
①Being sent to Athens.
②Joining the army against Octavian.
③Being defeated in the Battle of Philippi.
④Being pardoned by Augustus.
⑤Returning to Rome.
A．①②③④⑤
B．④②③①⑤
C．③④②①⑤
D．②④①③⑤
【3】When did Horace write his first series of poems?
A．When he was introduced to Gaius Maecenas.
B．When he worked as a clerk in the government.
C．When he met the emperor through Augustus.
D．When he was given a farm to write his poems in peace.
【4】Why did Horace model after Greek poets?
A．Because he had learned Greek.
B．Because Roman historians thought poorly of him.
C．Because he thought Greeks were better in cultural field.
D．Because all his friends lived in Greece.
23、In June, more than 3,300 people in Britain began an exciting experiment: Their employers had signed up to pilot a four-day workweek in what is currently the world’s biggest trial of this shorter working schedule. Seventy-three British companies have reduced their employees’ working hours by 20 percent for six months while still giving them their full pay.
Similar pilot programs are also underway in Australia, Iceland, and Spain. One study found that more than 8 million US workers switched to a four-day schedule between 1973 and 2018.
So far, the evidence that’s rolling in points in a clear direction: A shorter week allows workers to better take care of themselves without sacrificing productivity.
Halfway through the six-month trial, all but two of the 41 British companies that responded to a survey said that productivity either stayed the same or improved, and six said that productivity significantly improved. Those findings are consistent with others. In Iceland, where more than 1 percent of the workforce saw their hours reduced to 36 per week or less, productivity stayed constant or improved.
The effects on employees’well-being are even more surprising. In Britain, workers putting in 32 hours a week have been getting an average of 7.58 hours of sleep a night, nearly a full hour more than those working 40 hours.
Working fewer hours is proving to have other benefits for people’s bodies and minds. In Iceland, employees reported less stress and burnout and better health and work/life balance. They spent more time exercising, taking care of household chores, engaging in hobbies,and spending time with family and friends.
As one participant put it, reducing hours “shows increased respect for the individual. We are not just machines that just work…We are persons with desires and private lives, families and hobbies.” In a Gallup survey of US workers, people who worked four days a week had higher levels of well-being and lower rates of stress than those who worked five or six.
【1】What is the experiment about in Britain?
A．Improving working efficiency.
B．Trying out a four-day workweek.
C．Reducing the daily working time.
D．Promoting the employees’pay.
【2】What tendency has the experiment shown by now?
A．All companies have improved their productivity greatly.
B．Employees have more time to learn from each other.
C．Only 1/7 companies can improve their productivity.
D．Reducing working hours doesn’t decrease productivity.
【3】What can be inferred about the experiment of reducing weekly working hours?
A．It is a short-sighted decision.
B．It benefits only employers.
C．It is popular among workers.
D．It upsets employees.
【4】What is probably the best title for the text?
A．A Four-Day Workweek Pays Off
B．Working Fewer Hours Daily Benefits People
C．Respect for the Individual Brings Profit
D．The Experiment of Shorter Work Time Is Exciting

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。
One summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets (球拍) and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building. “I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each hit. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time. Suddenly, the unexpected thing happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows, leaving lots of broken glass on the ground. We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should I do?”
“Well,” my brother answered, “no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home, we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we be punished for our mistakes? Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window? Or just keep it a secret? We thought about all these things all the way.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.
