21、If you had to pick one, who do you think is greater in terms of their contributions to the Western world: British physicist Isaac Newton or Greek philosopher Aristotle?
Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision, at least right away.
But somehow, when it comes to picking a major at college, the decision couldn’t be easier: Science majors – the likes of technology, engineering and math – are the “wiser” choice because they’re considered to be useful, while studying liberal arts majors – language, music and philosophy – is believed to take you nowhere.
But if we take our eyes away from job skills for one second and look at liberal arts from a different perspective, we can see how important they are. In the BBC’s new documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters take us to 31 countries on six continents to appreciate human creativity, like Angkor Wat (吴哥窟) in Cambodia.
To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technological inventions, but also “those moments when human beings first began to create things that were not purely for food or shelter, but were there to be seen, and to leave a mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire”, he said.
In fact, by comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two. But to some of the greatest innovators in history, this line never existed in the first place.
Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was just as successful a scientist as he was a painter. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who, despite being an engineer, was also an artist on the inside. “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough – it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing.”
【1】What’s the main purpose of this text?
A. To introduce the contributions of great men.
B. To compare science and liberal arts majors.
C. To explain the line between science and art.
D. To warn people not to undervalue liberal arts.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Leonardo da Vinci was more successful as a painter.
B. It is the advanced technology that makes Apple successful.
C. People find it easier to choose a major at college than before.
D. There is actually no artificial line between science and liberal arts.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Many people consider liberal arts majors useless.
B. Physicists are usually more important than philosophers.
C. Innovators prefer to become artists on the inside.
D. The program Civilizations can let us enjoy human creativity in 31 countries.
22、Here is some information about POWER PLAYERS. Read on to find more.
TESLA
When Tesla cars came onto the market, there was no national charging network to allow buyers of them to go on long trips, so Tesla built its own, initially offering free access. Today, Tesla has more than 25, 000 fast chargers worldwide. Though it added charging fees in 2017, Tesla insists Super chargers will never become a profit center.
CHARGEPOINT
Founded in 2007, ChargePoint sells car chargers for homes, businesses, and commercial fleets that come with subscription software. A mobile app connects drivers with charging stations, letting bigger customers manage to charge vehicles themselves.
BLINK CHARGING
Blink Charging designs, makes, and owns car charging stations. In addition to selling power to drivers at its public stations, the company sells chargers to homes and businesses.
VOLTA
This company is among the many trying to control the new EV recharging market. Named after Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, this company has an ad-supported business model that lets it offer charging at many of its stations for free. The company’s strategy is to install (安装) its chargers, which have built-in digital screens for displaying ads, at busy shopping malls and grocery stores.

23、In spring 2015, after 39 years with Columbia Pictures, I retired and found myself with lots of free time to spare.
I decided to use that time to volunteer. While tutoring with the adult literacy program at my local library, an advertising flyer for a neighborhood group called Westchester Villages caught my eye. Its main job is about matching aging neighbors with local volunteers who help them in a number of different ways: Making short visits, being a walking partner, or driving to doctors’ appointments and the like.
I am happy to offer myself as a responsible person and a comfort to someone who is nervous about their appointment and concerned about getting there safely on time. I’ m usually available to stay with the person I’m driving during their visit and accompany them back to my car for the ride home. These drives also can be ideal times for relaxing conversation. I’ve had many discussions with them, discovered many common interests, and heard numerous extended stories of past travels and family histories.
I often begin rides by comforting a nervous neighbor by calmly saying, “I know where we’re going, the most direct route, and the best place to park. You’re in good hands with me.” These driving experiences also have afforded me opportunities for reflection. I’ve come to feel united with the neighbors I have come to know, and a more eager awareness of the aging process we all share. In living through so much time with them, I realize I’m going through the same stages.
A final irony (讽刺) for this movie lover is that I no longer need to go to a darkened theatre and gaze at a big screen in search of high drama. Whether it’s a World War II-era family story or anxiety about current events or good news from a doctor, I experience all from a definitely front row seat.
【1】What did the author decide to do during his free time?

A．Creative and competent.
B．Talented and warm-hearted.
C．Devoted and considerate.
D．Ambitious and hard-working.
【3】What might the author’s driving experiences remind him of?
A．His own aging process.
B．A driver’s responsibility.
C．The value of conversations.
D．Passengers’ words of comfort.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The author has been anxious about his health.
B．The author has no interest in dramas anymore.
C．The author prefers watching movies from a front row.
D．The author has found a new way of experiencing life.

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。
Mom was in extreme pain of cancer. I sat outdoors, watching the bees flying from one flower to another. I studied Mom's face, thinking how I could take her mind off the pain she was suffering. Her strong belief had always inspired and encouraged me. It was my turn to do the same for her—to encourage her to cheer up.
“Are the flowers in the field beautiful?” Mom asked weakly. She managed to find beauty in nature. Suddenly, I had an idea and asked her, “How about getting some flowers we can plant together in front of the house?” Mom's face slowly lit up and smiled. She said, “It sounds great.” Then we slowly climbed into the car.
Soon, we were wandering through rows and rows of colorful flowers. Mom's pain was forgotten temporarily as she bent over to choose a bunch of red roses. “Oh, how beautiful,” she whispered, pressing the flowers against her face.
A young lady approached and said, “Hello, ladies. It's a beautiful day for planting flowers. My name is Jenny. You can choose and buy whatever flowers you like.”
She was young and beautiful and I said thanks to her. I hurried to Mom's side, “I think we will have enough flowers to plant, Mom. Would you mind waiting in the car while I pay for them?”
“Let me carry the flowers for you,” Jenny smiled and said, “You are so kind and patient with your mother.” I replied, “Thank you. Mom is experiencing great pain because of her cancer. What I am doing is make her happy and forget her pain.” Suddenly, Jenny froze in her tracks.
She said, “My mom has cancer, too. May I please add your Mom's name to hers? I'd be proud to pray for both of them—overcoming the difficulties and achieving a victory as soon as possible.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
