21、Last August, 1 traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate（整修）a community centre, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at risk for problems later in life．
During my stay there, I had plenty of opportunities to interact and work with local children．One young boy in particular，Javier, 17, stood out for me. Later I realized that his father had left a year earlier for the U.S , and the family had not heard from him since then. Lacking of money, his mother had to find work elsewhere, but unfortunately could not afford to take all four children, so Javier with his little brother was left behind.
Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations. But the children tried their best to help out with the construction, and the building of this centre served as an important opportunity for them to learn from the adults·
I still remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him，because he had already experienced so much loss, and it was hard to realize that our departure was adding to the list.
As I looked beyond Javier, I could see many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took the responsibility for the care of their collective young.
In many north American cities we barely know our next door neighbors, let alone members of our community. How can people outside the family possibly play a central role in upbringing(养育)？
【1】What does the second Paragraph mainly talk about？
A. Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks．
B. Javier established good relationship with the author and his team．
C. Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo．
D. Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy．
【2】When helping build the community centre, the children______．
A . enjoyed staying with each other
B. enriched their social experiences
C. received education together with the adults
D. gained some benefits from the elders
【3】We can replace the underlined word “console” in the fourth paragraph with“______”.
A. affect B. comfort
C. inspire D. Protect
【4】From the Passage，we can infer that the author is________.
A. optimistic and ambitious
B. energetic and easy-going
C. considerate and responsible
D. determined and adventurous
22、 Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.
The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume of the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
【1】The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means_______.
A.a kind of clothes B.a paper cover of book
C.a dusty book D.a title of a book
【2】You may spend too much time in a bookshop because_______.
A.the dust jackets are very attractive
B.you start reading one of the books
C.it is raining outside
D.you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present
【3】In a good bookshop_______.
A.all the books there are interesting B.the assistant greets you in a warm way
C.your heart is satisfied D.you feel that you are in a music shop
【4】The best title for this passage may be_____.
A.The Attraction of Bookshops B.How to Spend Your Time
C.Bookshops and Their Assistants D.How to select Books?
23、 Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party". It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.
A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine,concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow-up compared to non-book readers. ”
The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3,635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3. 5 hours a week.
The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book. The more the subjects read,the longer they lived, but that as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.
Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours-an average of a half-hour a day -were 17 percent less likely.
In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a “significant survival advantage”, the authors concluded.
Why or how that's the case remains unclear; the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.
【1】From the text, what can we learn about the study?
A.No similar study on reading has been carried out.
B.The process of the study lasted more than ten years.
C.It shows readers live two years longer than non-readers.
D.It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it.
【2】What does the underlined words “that's the case" probably mean?
A.Reading books enables people to live longer.
B.Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.
C.Reading books is closely associated with longevity.
D.Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.
【3】Where can we most probably read this text?
A.https://www.theguardian.com/life-and-style/family.
B.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/coming-soon.
C.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health.
D.http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/Book—Recommendations.
24、 Ghina Ghaliya of Indonesia says a stranger’s visit to her house led to a campaign to help students affected by the COVID-19.

They also paid for Internet use for those needing it.
Qayran Ruby had also been using his father’s mobile phone to attend three video calls a week with his teachers and get homework. But the 11-year-old boy sometimes sent his homework late because he had to wait for his father to return from work in order to get back online, which made him upset. But a big smile appeared on his face when he received the mobile phone sent by Ghaliya’s group. “I will use the phone to do online school every day.”Ruby said.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess. . . ” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children's shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you，”she explained.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room , where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars（伤疤）such as cuts, scratches and bums. What a terrible life they had had before they moved here! My heart sank.
