21、“The Road Not Taken” appears as a preface to Frost’s Mountain Interval, which was published in 1916 when Europe was engulfed in World War I; the United States would enter the war a year later. Frost wrote this poem at a time when many men doubted they would ever go back to what they had left.
Actually, Robert Frost wrote “The Road Not Taken” as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. When they went walking together. Thomas was habitually indecisive about which road they ought to take and when looking back often regretted that they should, in fact, have taken the other one. Soon after writing the poem in 1915. Frost complained to Thomas that he had read the poem to an audience of college students and that it had been “taken pretty seriously... despite doing my best to make it obvious by my manner that I was fooling. ... It is my fault.” However, Frost liked to make jokes, “I’m never more serious than when joking.”
Indeed, shortly after receiving this poem in a letter, Edward Thomas’s Army was sent to Arras, France, where he was killed two months later. When Frost sent the poem to Thomas, Thomas initially failed to realize that the poem was about him. Instead, he believed it was a serious reflection on the need for decisive action.
Frost was disappointed that the joke fell flat and wrote back insisting that the sigh at the end of the poem was “a mock sigh, hypo-critical for the fun of the thing.” The joke made Thomas angry; Thomas was hurt by this characterization of what he saw as a personal weakness — his indecisiveness, which partly sprang from his paralyzing depression. Thomas warned Frost that most readers would not understand the poem’s playfulness and wrote, “I doubt if you can get anybody to see the fun of the thing without showing them and advising them which kind of laugh they are to turn on.” Edward Thomas was right, and the critic David Orr has referred to “The Road Not Taken” as a poem that “at least in its first few decades came close to being reader-proof.”
【1】What did the college students think of the poem?
A．It fooled them.
B．It deserved high praise.
C．It confused them in a manner.
D．It concerned something serious.
【2】How did Edward Thomas react to the poem when receiving it?
A．He felt so hurt by it as to go to Arras.
B．He wrote back to criticize its mock sigh.
C．He doubted if anybody could see its fun.
D．He thought it relevant to the situation then.
【3】What does the critic David Orr mean by saying “The Road Not Taken ... came close to being reader-proof”?
A．Readers were forbidden from reading the poem.
B．Readers didn’t know who to laugh at in the poem.
C．Readers might fail to appreciate the teasing in the poem.
D．Readers couldn’t appreciate the beauty described in the poem.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Poem Over-interpreted
B．Friendship revealed by a Poem
C．Fun of Rereading a Classic Poem
D．The Secret to Understanding a Poem
22、 For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.
The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.
China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.
Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?
A．To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.
B．To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.
C．To illustrate the long history of writing poems.
D．To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.
【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?
A．The heat shield on the spacecraft.
B．The camera on the front of Zhurong.
C．The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.
D．The rocket engines above the landing platform.
【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?
A．To build a shared future for mankind.
B．To look for signs of life on the red planet.
C．To push the boundaries of space exploration.
D．To inform people of our achievements in space.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.
B．China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.
C．Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.
D．Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.
23、We live in a society that constantly tells us more is better, leaving us under huge pressure. To be truly happy, we should set boundaries (界限)with ourselves. We need to start saying no to impulsive (冲动的)purchases, late-night TV shows, and unhealthy habits that ultimately leave us feeling empty and guilty. 【1】
Be Honest with Ourselves
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for recognition. We secretly want to be noticed for wearing an expensive watch or carrying a designer purse. Before taking action, such as making an expensive purchase, ask ourselves, “Who am I doing this for?” 【2】 However, if not, then we need to say no to it.
Embrace (拥抱)Our Worth
Saying no becomes easier when we remove our worth from material possessions. Making more money does not make us more worthy than someone living on his salary. 【3】 Remember that our worth is an undeniable part of who we are, which comes from our humanity.
Honor Our Limits
【4】 Trying to please everyone makes us spread ourselves too thin. The truth is that we have a limited amount of energy and time. It is important to be wise with our resources.
Stop Comparing Ourselves with Others
Sometimes people’s actions may cause feelings of envy in us, such as when they make purchases or achieve their goals. There is always someone out there who has more of what we desire. 【5】 Just focus on living a life that fits our values and goals.
A．We can’t be everything to everyone.
B．Remember to have a realistic assessment.
C．What someone is doing has nothing to do with our life.
D．Here are a few tips to help us establish healthy boundaries.
E．Buying a bigger house won’t make us more worthy, either.
F．If a pursuit will truly improve the quality of our life, then go for it.
G．When setting goals, consider if we have set the standard reasonably.

25、I decided at age 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I _________ superpowers. When I was in primary school, I could clearly see that some of my _________ had superpowers because I was always the quietly observant one, _________ things.
Our English teacher could magically _________ us to different worlds every day, simply by reading stories to us from books we would otherwise never _________ . This was our secret because fifth graders were considered too _________ to have stories read out to them. Then our headmaster, a teacher as well, _________ everything about every child. You couldn't _________ his laser-like (激光般的) eyes that could see right into you—through flesh, bones and all. And our geography teacher could _________ the invisible (隐形的) . I remained rather quiet and unnoticeable. ____________ , she would spot me. The unspoken ____________ in her superpowered eyes told me: “I see you, I know you, I understand you.”
As I learned from them, the ____________ of a primary school educator is to teach children, not subjects. What seems ____________ to me is that all those teachers calmly create ____________ in their ordinary classrooms. No one ever noticed that they were so creative in ____________ young human beings.
Teaching is not just a job—it is a science and an art, and it ____________ emotional labour and input. When I ____________ after teaching for three decades, what gives me ____________ is remembering the children who felt happier in school because I was their teacher.
