21、“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself. I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice.
We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like if there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.

【2】Which of the following best describes the cat Cinnamon?
A．Stupid but lovely.
B．Outgoing and aggressive.
C．Stubborn but courageous.
D．Naughty and adventurous.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．Why Cinnamon loved going outside.
B．How Cinnamon affected the author positively.
C．Why the author decided to take Cinnamon outside.
D．How Cinnamon interacted with the author outdoors.
【4】What message does the story convey?
A．The loss of a pet is painful.
B．The short life is unpredictable.
C．Friendship with pets is helpful.
D．The courage to take risks is beneficial.
22、The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top player of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island or Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
【1】What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful]
B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive
D. Greedy and aggressive
【2】The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .
A. soil pollution
B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity
D. whale hunting
【3】Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
【4】What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously
B. The phosphate mines were destroyed
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
23、Days ago my wife and I argued whether the stones we threw into the Mediterranean harbor of Ciutadella in Menorca would create waves that would eventually hit the shores of North America. I said “yes. ” I believed until waves met a shore, they were extremely great in strength. But she said the wouldn't. Who is right?
Dave Johnstone, UK
Your wife is right. In their passing, waves lose energy due to viscous（粘性的）forces. In the thin waters of the Mediterranean, energy is reduced much more quickly.
Simon Iveson, Indonesia
I think the questioner’s waves would not be high enough because of air friction（摩擦）and the viscous water. To make matters worse, the Strait of Gibraltar is not on a line of sight from Ciutadella, so the waves would need to be sent back from North Africa or a passing ship, and this would mean a great loss of energy.
Mike Follow, UK
I studied the map of the world, and found that clearly no wave formed by dropping a rock in the harbor of Ciutadella could travel to the Strait of Gibraltar and out into the Atlantic Ocean without first striking many shores and being sent back by each.
Another factor is wind. If a wave created by a rock falling into water travels in the same direction as a gentle wind, it may become larger. But a strong wind can bend it so easily that it becomes completely lost.
It seems unlikely that any big part of the wave from a rock dropped in Ciutadella harbor would ever reach the Strait of Gibraltar, let alone North America. But I admire the spirit of the question.
Patrick Johnson, US

24、Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s, Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
【1】The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.
A．an object for artistic creation
B．a collection of poems
C．an unusual quality
D．a natural scene
【2】Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .
A．they are close in style to works in ancient times
B．they look like works by 19th-century painters
C．they draw attention to common things in life
D．they depend heavily on color photography
【3】What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?
A．It will not be found in future works of art.
B．It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D．It is lacking in modern works of art.
【4】What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A．They express people's curiosity about the past.
B．They make people interested in everyday experience.
C．They are considered important for variety in form.
D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
【5】Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A．History of the arts.
B．Basic questions of the arts.
C．New developments in the arts.
