21、I know what you’re thinking: pizza?For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories ,still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight . “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D,who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
【1】The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means ______.
A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit
【2】What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
【3】According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.
A. eat something for breakfast
B. be careful about what you eat
C. heat up food before eating it
D. eat calorie-controlled food
【4】The text is written mainly for those _______.
A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep
22、 For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in tutorials(辅导课).
We'd have 2-3 tutorials a week, each ranging from 1 to 3 hours. Some would feel informal with comfortable chairs and teas, sitting and chatting with a few friends. Others would feel more like we were being grilled for facts. In both types, I was pretty quiet. I was shy, introverted, and worried that everyone would think I was stupid. The fact is that everyone in Oxford, Harvard, Yale, etc. has felt insecure about their intelligence at some point. I didn't volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn't understand much. My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed the same. And they were often wrong.
Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself, stopped being worried, and offered more of my own opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted way more. I always asked if I didn't understand something. Most of the time, others also didn't understand the thing I was confused about and felt happy I asked.
I went from being a passive learner and having everything go over my head to being an active learner and having tons more information understood. In tutorials, I took notes. After tutorials, I reviewed those notes. I rewrote them. I explained new concepts to my friends in other subject areas. And I felt smarter. I went from struggling and failing to thriving and suddenly getting firsts on my essays.
Being an active student also means asking for help. So I recommend you to visit your tutor during office hours and ask for their help or ask your peers to help explain stuff to you. Or get a mentor(导师) if you can. I had a PhD student mentor me once a week over coffee in my final year. It was the best thing that happened to my studies.
【1】Which word best describes the author's academic attitude as a freshman?
A.Cooperative. B.Inactive. C.Serious. D.Positive.
【2】What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4?
A.He became smarter than others. B.He attached no importance to notes.
C.He had everything go over his head later. D.His changed attitudes led to academic improvement.
【3】What does the-author advise us to do?
A.To visit tutors at any time. B.To get a mentor in the first year.
C.To ask our peers for help if necessary. D.To learn everything from smart people.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How did I Ask for Help? B.How did I Get over Myself?
C.How did I Become an Active Learner? D.How did I Become a Smart Student?

24、Schumpeter is only an amateur stargazer(天文爱好者). His equipment is no fancier than a pair of eyes and a place in the countryside, away from London’s light pollution. That is enough to make out Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn-and, occasionally, the International Space Station crossing the sky. In the past few years a new spectacle has appeared in the form of the Starlink satellites. Launched by SpaceX, they look like nothing else in the heavens, floating like a train of white dots in tight formation.
SpaceX is a remarkable firm founded to further Mr Musk’s dream of colonizing Mars. Its rockets cost half as much as its rivals’ do, thanks in part to their ability to land their first stages for reuse rather than dumping them in the sea in line with standard industry practice.
SpaceX’s rocket business alone does not justify this rich valuation. The market for launches is small and stagnant (不景气的). This is where Starlink comes in. Those satellites are the lead of a planned constellation1(发射计划)of over1, 000, designed to beam (传输)the Internet to every corner of the globe.
Satellite broadband is not a new idea. But existing options are expensive and slow. Starlink’s cheap, mass-produced, low-flying satellites would, SpaceX claims, offer a service comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices.
Starlink’s chief competitor is OneWeb, with 74 satellites in orbit and hundreds more planned. It, too, went bust in March, after failing to persuade SonMasayoshi, a Japanese billionaire, to invest more cash. But it has new sponsors. On July 3rd Boris Johnson, Britain’s prime minister, announced that his government had stumped up S500m for a 45% stake in OneWeb, and a golden share giving it control over its future. Bharti Global, an Indian telecoms firm, also put in S500m.
OneWeb may need more cash if it is to complete its constellation. British taxpayers may never see a financial return on their investment. But if OneWeb keeps Mr Musk on his toes even for a little while, their loss may turn out to be global consumers’ gain. Stranger things have happened in space.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A.To show respect for amateur stargazers.
B.To draw readers’ attention to light pollution.
C.To introduce the topic of Starlink satellites.
D.To give an example of observing stars.
【2】What is the reason for the emergence of Starlink?
A.The rocket launch market is small and depressed.
B.SpaceX’s rockets can be recycled in the first stage of launch.
C.The rocket cost of SpaceX is only half that of its competitors.
D.Starlink can provide services comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices.
【3】How did OneWeb maintain its economy?
A.It built 74 in-orbit satellites and planned hundreds of them.
B.It persuaded SonMasayoshi to invest more money.
C.Boris Johnson’s government and an Indian company invested a total of S1 billion.
D.The continuous competition between OneWeb and SpaceX brought it benefits.
【4】From the last paragraph, we can infer that
A.OneWeb’s financial losses may turn out to be global consumers’ gain
B.the battle between OneWeb and SpaceX may benefit global consumers
C.Mr Musk may step on global consumers’ toes when he achieves success
D.OneWeb no longer needs financial support from British taxpayers

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。
It was the first week of Mia's middle school. The bell's ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Mia followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Mia, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn't think others would like her.
Mia finally sat in Mr. Johnson's Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Mia forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We'll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Mia desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply(长粉刺的)face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let's see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Mia originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's voice. “He's actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students' papers not read, including Mia's paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.
