21、Whenever we see a button on a doorbell or on a remote, we may press it. This is true in most cases. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on an elevator．
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut. But according to experts, the buttons are a complete trick—the doors will not close any faster however hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only firefighters and maintenance workers (维修工) can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal elevator riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.
According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. Experts have shown that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.
Psychologists, however, found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push the fake button because as long as the door eventually closes, it is considered worth the effort.
That habit is here to stay, John Kounios, a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US, told The New York Times. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not try the chance?”
【1】The author writes the text to______________.
A．inform readers of kinds of fake button
B．analyze what roles fake buttons play
C．explore different ways to push buttons
D．explain why fake buttons were introduced
【2】Which is true according to the text?
A．Firemen can make the elevator close faster by using the button.
B．Maintenance workers have special keys to control elevator doors.
C．Disabled elevator riders need other’s help to get in the elevator.
D．The “close” button on the door is useless to normal elevator users.
【3】The underlined “this same purpose” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_____________.
A．making people more patient
B．improving people’s bad mood
C．helping people build up confidence
D．offering people a sense of control
【4】What can we know from John Kounios’ words?
A．Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at all.
B．People don’t know that what they press is fake.
C．Some people press fake buttons just to kill time.
D．People are supposed to quit pressing fake buttons.
22、 From Antigua to Zanzibar, these spots promise an incredible trip for 2019.
Antigua, Guatemala
“Antigua is worth every penny, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to empty your wallet,” says Hudson. There are plenty of budget-conscious activities. It won’t cost you a coin to visit Santo Domingo del Cerro, an outdoor sculpture park. Wanting something sweet? Head to ChocoMuseo. Admission is free and so are the samples!
Odessa, Ukraine
Odessa is having a bit of a tourism boom nationwide-not that we’re surprised, given its sandy beaches and pastel-colored buildings-but it’s still fairly under the order for international audiences. You can also count on this port city for affordable fun. Tickets to the Odessa Opera House start at a mere $ 2!
Bogotá, Colombia
“Travelers on budget will find Colombia’s vast capital far more of a bargain and every bit as fascinating,” says Hudson. “It’s free to visit Museo de Oro and on Sundays many of the big roads are closed to accommodate food carts, street entertainers, and pedestrians.”
Zanzibar
Zanzibar attracts vacationers with its white sand beaches, greenish-blue tides, colorful coral reefs, and oceanfront seaside. Of course, wandering in historic Stone Town is pretty appealing too. Either way, you needn’t spend a penny in this amazing place. It’s also worth noting that Jozani Forest is the only place in the world you can see endangered red colobus monkeys.
【1】Which of the following requires admission fee?
A.ChocoMuseo. B.Odessa Opera House.
C.Museo de Oro. D.Stone Town.

24、Dear Madam,
Welcome back to school. My child is so happy to be in your class this year. We know you care so much about your students. I want to tell you a little bit about my child. Although he really loves to learn, he is somewhat anxious about being back in school again.
My child is thought to be gifted and that has brought some unexpected challenges to him and our family. To many people, being gifted means he will do very well in school, but that hasn’t always been true for him. He is just a kid thinking differently, and he sometimes struggles in school. Last year, school wasn’t easy for him for a few reasons.
He may be ahead a few grade levels in some subjects, but not in all subjects. He just doesn’t do better in all areas all the time. And although he may seem older than his years, he doesn’t always behave like you would think he should. I’m sure you know how gifted children can be emotionally immature-that is exactly my kid.
Also, he can be really intense in class when you are teaching one of his favorite topics. He may raise his hand often and constantly talk about what he thinks about it. I’ll apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when it’s a topic he is hooked on. He is not being impolite and he isn’t just being a know-it-all, or a show-off, he is really just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about. He just gets carried away!
Last year, he was teased about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates, which hurts him A LOT. Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school. He fears being called a show-off at school and he feels like he doesn’t fit in. His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone. I know as a teacher, you are incredibly busy, but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much?
Lastly, his therapist mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school, he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever. Please let me know if his grades start slipping.
Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child. Don’t hesitate to call or email me if there are any problems with him at school. Believe me, we know very well how sensitive, emotional and intense he can be.
I hope you have a wonderful school year!
Sincerely,
Mom of a Gifted Child

25、 For years, I thought of a present and a gift as the same thing. I grew up in a household where presents marked special ______. There was always a box for each of us under the tree at Christmas ______, Dad always gave Mom something each Valentine’s Day. He would carefully plan his shopping trips to find just the ______ thing. His joy in the hunt was proof of the ______ of giving and of his love for her. I came to see these presents as the ______ of a husband’s devotion.
So when I married a man who did not give presents on a regular basis, it was an ______. I wrestled with my deep-rooted expectations. Gary did not ______ avoid gift-giving. Gary would return from sea armed with a brown paper bag inside of which was something that ______ him of me. But mostly, he ignored holidays, ______ to shop for a thing to present to me as a sign of his affection.
I tried to change him ______. I prepared gifts for Christmas and for his birthdays ______. He appreciated the caring, but refused to do the same thing for me. I dropped hints, but they fell on ______ ears. I began to tell him what I wanted, giving ______ instructions. When Gary left for the market one Saturday, I asked him to find me diamond earrings as a birthday gift. Yet he came home with a road scraper (刮路机). ______ when the snowstorm hit later that year and he was at sea, I used the road scraper to plow ( 犁 ) out both our driveway and our neighbor’s, thinking how ______ earrings would have been and it was then that I finally realized he had been giving me gifts all along. The gestures, large and small, born of his caring and concern for the family were the ______ that he gave daily.
We ______ to teach others how to love us. In that struggle, we often forget how to ______ the love they already give us as only they can give it.
I finally began to understand the ______ between a present and a gift. A present is a thing. But a gift is broader and often abstract. It is a small act of kindness, the ______ to bend to another’s needs, the sacrifice of time and effort. Love is a gift. Any expression of it, freely given, is an offering from the heart that is immeasurably better than a present.

26、读后续写
I was a volunteer for an organisation at the beginning of this year. The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event.
Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset.
Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today. ”
“Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left，” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.
While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading.
After a while, he asked, “What is cancer？”
I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it. ”
“Do children suffer from cancer, too？” asked the boy.
“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. ” Lisa said and I nodded.
Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected？”
Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much. ”
The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few onedollar and fivedollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched.
