21、I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
【1】The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________.
A. she might be recognized B. asking for help looked silly
C. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing
【2】After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________ .
A. hit a lamppost B. hit a person as usual
C. began to run D. was caught by something
【3】At the request stop that evening, the girl________ .
A. stopped a big lorry B. stopped the wrong bus
C. made no attempt to stop the bus D. was not noticed by other people
【4】What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A. Other vehicles also stopped there.
B. It was unreliable for making judgments.
C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
22、Jessica Damiano moved into a new home in the spring of 2005. At the time, she was delighted to see a flowering plant growing in the garden.She did not know the name of the beautiful plant. But that did not matter to her. She loved it!
Two years later,Damiano graduated from Cornell University’s master gardener program. She worked as a gardening writer for a local newspaper. That is when she found out the truth. She discovered that her favorite plant was called purple loose strife and that it was considered “invasive (入侵的) ” in her home state of New York. However, she told herself that the plant was not spreading on the property and that it was not out of control.
Then she learned more. Some plants known to be invasive are what Damiano calls “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. This means they may seem harmless and well-contained in the garden but become harmful in other places.
Birds eat the seeds of invasive plants and spread them to other places. Those seeds grow into new plants that outgrow native plants. This is because invasive plants often are not eaten by local wildlife, which would otherwise keep them under control. If not controlled, invasive plants grow larger and push out native plants that provide food and shelter for birds,insects,and small animals. This harms the local environment.
Many state environmental agencies ban the sale and use of plants found to be harmful to human or ecological health. But some invasive plants are not officially considered invasive. Others may be listed as invasive in one area but not another. And some invasive plants continue to be sold in stores.
So, what is a gardener to do? Damiano says to avoid any plants sold as “vigorous”, “ fast-spreading”, “quick-climbing” or a “rapid self-sower”. She warns that these are all sellers’ code words (暗号) for invasive plants. Next, learn about your local area: Which plants are invasive? And which plants are native? Ask government agencies, universities and colleges, and environmental groups. You can also do your own research at libraries or online.
In the end, Damiano replaced that plant with the native and equally beautiful blazing star plant. This plant has been growing happily without problems in her garden for the past 15 years.
【1】How did Damiano react when she first learned purple loose strife was“invasive”?
A．She felt regretful for loving it.
B．She reported it to the government.
C．She didn’t take the fact seriously.
D．She got rid of the plant immediately.
【2】Why can invasive plants grow better than native plants?
A．They need less water.
B．They have fewer natural enemies.
C．They adapt to the environment quicker.
D．They have longer roots and bigger leaves.
【3】What does the author mainly intend to express in paragraph 5?
A．Policies about invasive plants vary in different areas.
B．Some invasive plants are not harmful.
C．Invasive plants are rarely seen in stores.
D．The government’s attitude to invasive plants is improper.
【4】Which is a method the gardener can use to avoid planting invasive plants?
A．Give up any plants that sell well in the local area.
B．Choose plants that can provide food for wild animals.
C．Refuse to say the code words of sellers for invasive plants.
D．Refer to books for information on which plants are invasive.
23、After moving from a refugee camp (难民营) to a big city, 18-year-old Dhakal wanted to give back to his community.
A few years ago, while working at a restaurant, Dhakal met a homeless man. While cleaning tables, he talked with the man, and the man shared his story about how he became homeless. “One of the necessities he needed was clothes, so that is where I got the idea,” Dhakal explained.
Dhakal Collects Clothes hosted its first clothing drive in 2019. He collected everything, including socks, hats, jackets, coats and shoes. “With that project, I was able to bring so many people together and change so many lives,” said Dhakal.
For Dhakal, Dhakal Collects Clothes is just a start. In the future, he wants to own a multimillion-dollar business that focuses on giving its money away to help others. To help him meet that goal, a kind person introduced Dhakal to Cuban, a billionaire philanthropist (慈善家), who is also one of Dhakal’s heroes. Cuban, who said that he knew what it was like to struggle and want to give back, gave Dhakal a specific goal: Collect 575 coats to give away to those in need.
While Dhakal first struggled to collect coats, he used a piece of advice from Cuban to give himself: He networked with Amy, who worked at a local charity organization. In 4 days, he collected thousands of coats, much more than his initial goal.
“I never dreamed of collecting 3, 000 coats, but the people that I connected with made it possible,” Dhakal said.
“You're setting an example, Dhakal. It isn't about connections,” Cuban said. “It isn't about who you know. Effort. It's all about how hard you're willing to work to get something done.”
【1】What inspired Dhakal to start his charity project?
A．His tiring job in a restaurant.
B．The advice of a homeless man.
C．His desire to get away from poverty.
D．The experience of a poor man he met.
【2】What did Cuban do to help Dhakal?
A．Give him some useful advice.
B．Donate lots of clothes to him.
C．Share the skills in making money.
D．Persuade others to network with him.
【3】How did Dhakal feel when he collected 3, 000 coats?
A．Embarrassed.
B．Surprised.
C．Worried.
D．Proud.
【4】What contributed most to Dhakal's work according to Cuban?
A．The original goal of his project.
B．His ambitious plan for the future.
C．His hard work and determination.
D．His connections with other people.
24、I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I could choose, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, and think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
【1】The best title of this passage probably is “________”.
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life
C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife
【2】How did the author form her view of life?
A. Through social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.

A. make a living rather than live a real life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. waste a lot in life
D. forget the most important lessons in life
25、As human beings, we are alike in many ways. Yet ______ our similarities, no two people are exactly the same. Even identical twins ______ different life experiences. Just because of these ______, a “one size fits all” solution will rarely be the most ______ answer to our problems.
One of my life ______ is to find what works for me best, and forget the rest. Just that something works great for someone else, doesn’t ______ mean that it will work well for me. I have found that I am most successful when I ______ any new method or strategy I learn to my ______ situation.
A perfect example of why it’s best to find what works for you is when it ______ to trying to pick a diet and an exercise plan. There are ______ diet plans and exercise programs out there to choose from, and it ______ be quite overwhelming(难以应付的). With diet plans you have to consider food allergies, how ______ the food is if you are away from home most of the time, and many other ______. With exercise programs you have to consider your starting level of fitness, and health issues that might ______ your ability to do the program, and whether you actually enjoy the exercise enough to ______ with it. Many people like jogging, but it is probably my least ______ form of exercise. By finding more suitable and enjoyable ______ that give me the same ______ or better, it is easier to stick with my exercise program.
You ______ yourself better than anyone, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different solutions to whatever you are trying to achieve. Don’t ______ use something because it is “the best”, or because it worked great for someone else. Find what works best for you, and forget the rest.

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。
There was something in the elderly woman’s grace（优雅）that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of her steps, the woman moved with deliberation（从容），and there was no hesitation in her gestures.
It was a few years ago, and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I could see the people outside rushing by.
The elderly woman entered the store, along with her daughter, who was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, sighing and checking her watch every few seconds. I guessed if she had possessed a rope, she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.
Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas. I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me, saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age. Unwillingly, I accompanied her to the cash register. I realized I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
Paragraph 1:
So I walked over to her daughter.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Together they made their way toward the store’s exit
