21、 In 2019, more than 1.4 million young people around the globe took part in the School Strikes for Climate Action protests that were largely advocated by 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The inspirational young Swede, while a media favourite, is far from the first or last young person to fight for a better environmental future.
With the rise of social media in recent years, websites such as YouTube provide accessible coverage on ecological matters that quickly gather millions of views, and links to new scientific information are easily shared between peers. But, it's not just online research that exposes the truth, and it's not a distant threat either. Climate change is happening around us as we speak; an increase of droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.
Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be made.
A study on participants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incentives (刺激)to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.
So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the fixture might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.
【1】Why is Greta Thunberg mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．To show that the young activists are playing a part.
B．To give an introduction to Greta Thunberg.
C．To illustrate the seriousness of climate change.
D．To arouse readers' interest in environmental protection.
【2】What does the underlined phrase "write off" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Consider unimportant.
B．Take seriously.
C．Give up.
D．Write down.
【3】what does paragraph 4 focus on?
A．The way young activists work.
B．The advantages young activists have.
C．The contributions young activists make.
D．The views young activists hold.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Greta Thunberg: an outstanding activist.
B．Climate change: a matter needing everyone's attention.
C．The rise of social media makes ecological matters accessible.
D．The young arc making a difference to the environmental future.
22、 94-year-old Suttie Economy plans to be buried in what looks like a pack of Juicy Fruit gum (口香糖) when he dies.
Economy’s love affair with Juicy Fruit goes back to his days in the service, when chewing gum producer Wrigley sent its products to troops overseas. Since then, Economy has become something of a self-appointed goodwill ambassador for the brand.
Sammy Oakey, president of Oakey’s Funeral Service and Economy have a friendship that goes back 45 years. After Economy recently suffered heart attacks, he approached his longtime friend with a request: When his time came, he wanted to be buried in a coffin (棺材) painted to resemble his trademark gum. Oakey immediately called Wrigley’s but they gave Oakey’s request a thumbs-down.
Actually, unusual burial requests are nothing new. Comic book author Mark Gruenwald’s ashes were mixed with ink that was used into a first-edition printing of Squadron Supreme. Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes were shot out, while James Doohan, known to fans as Star Trek’s “Scotty”, had his remains sent into space.
Knowing how important the chewing-gum-themed coffin was to Economy, Oakey didn’t give up the fight. He managed to contact Mars Wrigley’s top boss.
Happily for all concerned, Oakey renewed his request to the powers that be and met with success. In an e-mail from the company president, he was told the company would go along with whatever the family wanted to do.
Not only did the gum company give their biggest fan’s final gift, they also sent Economy’s family 250 packs of Juicy Fruit as a thank you for his lifelong brand love.
Economy has actually taken a turn for the better. We don’t know whether his improved condition is due to the “Juicy Fruit” effect, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from this story, it’s if you think outside the box —and ask nicely —sometimes you can take it with you.
【1】How did Wrigley’s respond to Oakey’s request at first?
A．They agreed to it.
B．They ignored it.
C．They turned it down.
D．They hesitated.
【2】What does the author think of Economy?
A．Honest.
B．Faithful.
C．Brave.
D．Generous.
【3】What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A．To point out green burial has a long history.
B．To prove many people follow Economy’s suit.
C．To explain green burial is becoming a tendency.
D．To show Economy isn’t the first to have a strange burial idea.
【4】What is the text about?
A．An unusual wish.
B．A strange old man.
C．A lifelong friendship.
D．A famous gum brand.

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 sky was clear blue and the sun cast diamonds down on fields, forests and villages. A flock（群）of wild ducks were flying in formation heading south for the coming winter. They formed a beautiful V in the sky and were admired by everyone who saw them from below.
It was a fine September afternoon that Wally, one of the wild ducks in the formation spotted something on the ground. It was a yard with a flock of tame（驯服的）ducks who lived on the farm. They were wandering around on the ground, quacking merrily and eating corn that was thrown on the ground for them every day. Wally was satisfied with what he saw. How comfortably they live! “It sure would be nice to have some of that corn," he thought to himself. And all this flying is very tiring. "I'd like to just wander around for a while like these tame ducks."
So, after thinking it over a while, Wally left the formation of wild ducks, made a sharp dive and headed for the barnyard directly. He landed safely among the tame ducks, and began to waddle around and quack quickly. He also started eating corn in cheerful spirits.
At the same time, the formation of wild ducks continued their journey south, but Wally, who was content with the delicious corn, didn't care. “I'll rejoin them when they come back north in a few months," he said to himself.
Several months went by and one day, Wally looked up and spotted the flock of wild ducks flying in formation, heading north. They still looked beautiful up there, attracting everyone's attention without doubt. And Wally was tired of the yard. It was muddy and everywhere he wandered there was nothing but duck waste. "It's time to leave." said Wally, staring at the wild ducks in the air.
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。
So Wally moved his wings with all his strength and tried to fly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the flock of wild ducks flew overhead once more, Wally tried again to join them.
