21、The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of water. With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfull country, many of the world’s agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. Notonly is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water many flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling to countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers’ overuse of irrigation water be resulted in a 25% redcution of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of south eastern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry vallege, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have been the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.
【1】From the first two paragraphs we learn that _______.
A．much of the world’s water is available for use

【3】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A．Steps to improve water use management.
B．Ways tor redjuce the costs of builing dams.
C．Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.
D．Applies to handle the pressure on water supply.
【4】The text is mainly about____________.
A．water supply and increasing population
B．water use management and agriculture

22、 Something strange happened when I was 14 years old. Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!
During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”
After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.
I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and concerned looks, and the table was covered with untouched plates.
“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.
The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.
And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.
【1】Why did the author hide himself and cry on the Thanksgiving Day?
A.Because he got up too late
B.Because some of his family were absent.
C.Because he thought the dinner was tasteless.
D.Because he doubted the sincerity of others’ thankfulness.
【2】What can we know about the author’s mother according to the text?
A.She is very understanding. B.She is strict with the author.
C.She disagreed with the author. D.She showed great worry about the author.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Having dinner. B.Expressing thankfulness.
C.Giving a performance. D.Making a wish.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.My loving mother B.Love and lies
C.An inspiring Thanksgiving D.An unforgettable dinner
23、 Study skills are valuable tools when it comes to achieving meaningful learning. But there are many students who haven’t mastered good skills. They often go for last-minute memorization. Studying from memory won’t give you very promising scores. 【1】 These will help you improve your performance.
【2】 It means writing down the most important points in your own words so that you can remember them more easily. In most cases the key is to be able to write them down quickly, but without leaving out any important information. The other key is to make sure the relationship between the main concepts is very clear.
Then remember to look over your notes within 24 hours of taking them, even if you don’t have a test coming up. 【3】 Then when you actually start studying for a test, you’ll be able to recall the information much better than if you hadn’t looked over your notes at all since you took them.
Another skill to help you study better is brainstorming. 【4】 So it can be especially useful for doing group projects, and you can consider different ideas and viewpoints. But it can also be useful to cram for an exam. It can clear up any questions and help you dig deeper into the subject matter.
No one is born knowing how to study, so study skills are very important.
【5】
A．This will put you at a huge advantage.
B．Taking notes is one of the most widespread.
C．It’s important to solve problems in a simpler way.
D．Luckily there are a lot of effective methods available.
E．Success in school isn’t all about talent but mostly about effort.
F．But what really matters is that you should put them in practice.
G．It consists of a group meeting where members throw out any idea.
24、Do you experience worries that get stuck in your head? Do these thoughts come with physical symptoms such as restlessness, muscle tension, or a racing heart? 【1】
Your parents may help you move past anxiety by telling you “You don’t feel safe, but you are safe” and giving you space to experience discomfort and coming out the other side of it. 【2】 Many of these are the ones that you can apply in the moment without them being obvious to others.
● Practise mindful noticing. Mindfulness is the exercise of being aware in the moment and noticing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Practising mindfulness can help shift your focus away from anxious thoughts and toward self-regulation. Try focusing on an object in the environment and giving it all your attention. 【3】 The more details you point out, the more your brain will focus on that object instead of the anxious thoughts.
● 【4】 More demanding than simply counting in order, randomly picking numbers requires more attention. Again, this shifts attention away from anxiety-related thoughts and onto the task of reciting random numbers, which, though boring, do not cause anxiety.
● “Silence, Bruno!” 【5】 Recognizing an anxious thought for what it is can help put things in perspective and give one the chance to challenge the unhelpful thoughts. Disney’s 2021 film Luca delightfully demonstrates this skill. The character, Alberto, tells his friend Luca to quiet the doubt and fight against thoughts (Bruno) in his head by shouting, “Silence, Bruno!”
A．Recite numbers in order.
B．Count numbers randomly.
C．The best way is to talk back to anxiety.
D．If so, you may be suffering from anxiety.
E．The response is to look away from your anxiety.
F．And there are other techniques that can be helpful.
G．Do this by describing all the details of some object within your view.
