21、 I grew up with easy access to books,and I’ve always felt that I benefited from it,even if it was as simple as always having something to do.For that reason,I make sure that the children who are a part of my life also have books,often giving them as gifts.
This desire to surround kids with books isn't just in my head.A recent study has demonstrated that children who grow up with home libraries perform better later in life when it comes to literacy(读写能力），applying math skills to everyday life and learning how to use digital technology.Reading is a gift that keeps on giving,apparently.
The study collected data from 160,000 adults from across 31 countries who participated in the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies(PIAAC).The PIAAC measures adults'skills in three categories:literacy,numeracy(计算能力）and digital literacy.
Participants in the PIAAC were asked to estimate how many books were in their households by the time they were 16 years old.The average number in the study was 115 books,but the actual numbers would vary from country to country.Turkish participants averaged 27,while those in Norway had 212 and kids in the UK had 143.The study found that the more books that were present in the home,the better the adults scored in the PIAAC evaluations.
Homes needed to have roughly 80 books to have any impact on the teens,raising PIAAC scores to the average level.Literacy scores in particular improved when more books were available,though they became steady at around 350 books.Numeracy skills improved in similar ways to literacy.Solving problems with digital technologies also saw improvement,but the score gains weren't as steep as they were for literacy or numeracy.
Access to books also helped to bridge education differences.Those who grew up without many books in the home and received university degrees performed roughly the same as those who had access to large home libraries and only completed nine years of school.
【1】What is the author's attitude towards children reading books?
A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful. C.Cautious. D.Approving.
【2】According to the study,______.
A.the only way to raise PIAAC scores is to read books
B.the purpose of the PLAAC is to measure one's reading,math and technology skills
C.participants from the UK performed best in the PIAAC
D.the more kinds of books one reads at home,the higher score one will get in the PIAAC
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Access to books can help one receive a university degree.
B.Bookish adolescence can make up for a shorter education.
C.Those who grew up without many books wouldn't receive a university degree.
D.People with a basic education performed better than those with a higher level of education.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Reading Lots of Books as a Kid Helps Later in Life
B.Reading Books Helps Improve One's Intelligence
C.Reading-The Best Way to Improve One's Social Skills
D.Why Reading Makes One a Better Person
22、 Have you ever wondered how other people start their day? Morning routines are usually private, witnessed only by family members if they’re awake, and yet these routines are very important for setting a productive tone for the rest of the day. Especially when mornings are cold and dark, there is something fascinating about discovering how others get out of bed each day.
This is the intriguing concept behind a website called My Morning Routine (MMR). Founded in 2012 by Michael Xander and Benjamin Spall, MMR has interviewed more than 218 people about their early-morning habits, always asking the same basic set of questions. Every Wednesday an inspiring routine story is published online.
MMR has a statistics page that was started after 133 morning routine interviews were completed. It’s now updated every week. The statistics illustrate the common denominators across all interviews. Here are some of the key findings.
Coffee is king among the participants, with water coming in a far-off second as their favorite drink in the morning, and nearly everybody hates email. Do you answer email first in the morning or leave it until later in the day? Of all the questions they ask the participants, this is the one that never fails to stir up an emotive response. So why do we read about other people’s morning routines? Well, first of all, it’s fun. Perhaps your first impression is like mine—skeptical that such a thing how could possibly be interesting. It is, quite literally, catching a glimpse of a part of people’s lives we don’t normally see.
Second, I think many people harbor a secret desire to improve their morning routines, to get better at starting the day off right. The idea behind MMR is to influence readers to make adjustments to their own routines and to take bits and pieces of other’ successful routines and incorporate them into their own.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To show some characteristics of MMR. B.To suggest learning from others’ routines.
C.To introduce the reason for founding MMR. D.To explain the importance of morning routines.
【2】What do we know about MMR from the text?
A.It aims to collect healthy morning routines. B.It is a world-known social network website.
C.It keeps updating its statistics on a daily basis. D.It provides inspiring routine stories every week.
【3】What is a common morning routine according to MMR?
A.Drinking coffee B.Reading the news.
C.Replying to emails . D.Conducting an interview.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “stir up” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.make up B.lead to C.hold down D.keep away
【5】What is the author’s attitude towards reading other people’s morning routines?
A.Skeptical B.Supportive C.Negative D.Uninterested

24、It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words—“I can help organize the whole thing”—stuck with me. I felt obliged（有义务的）to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.

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。
The old man turned away sadly as his eyes filled with tears. “Poor Mr. Dev,” thought Indra sympathetically. Another day went past and there was still no sign of his family. Indra wondered how children could be so heartless as to abandon a parent like this.
Indra recalled the day the old man was admitted to her ward. He was thin and weak. He could not produce his identity card but he could remember the number. The hospital tried to contact his family using the phone number he gave them but it was in vain. He was treated for a lung infection and was now recovering. Soon, it would be time for him to be discharged. Where would he go then? He did not look strong enough to look after himself. Indra threw down the file she was holding as anger rose within her.
“What’s the matter?” asked Poh, Indra’s colleague.
“I’m just upset about old Mr. Dev,” she replied. Poh nodded with understanding. She had been a nurse much longer than Indra. She had seen many cases of abandoned old people and she had learned to control her feelings.
“Don’t worry too much, the hospital will contact the welfare department. Mr. Dev will be placed in an old folks’ home,” Poh said and patted Indra’s arm comfortingly.
Indra sighed. “I know. It’s just that the old chap really longs for his family to visit him. He cleans and tidies himself every morning and sits up to wait expectantly. You can see the eagerness in his eyes whenever the door opens. At the end of the day, he goes to sleep with tears in his eyes. It makes me cry inside.”
Poh shook her head sadly. “He needs a miracle (奇迹).”
Two days later, the doctor confirmed that Mr. Dev was fit enough to be discharged and that the welfare officer would come to take Mr. Dev to an old folks’ home.
注意：
