21、It was a Sunday night. I circled the belghbbhood a few times, looking for a place to park my car. Finally, I found one to the south of my house. It was behind a late-model Jeep. I tried to back into the space, but I failed to see the angles clearly. I heard it before I felt it, the sound of plastic on plastic, like a sheet of sandpaper along the surface of a painted piece of wood. I got out of my car to check the damage. My car was unharmed. However, there were two distinct lines on the Jeep.
Then I noticed a woman, walking her dog, who was now photographing me with her phone. “Hope you’re no planning to drive away,” she said quietly. Until then, I was annoyed with myself for having been careless, but now I was mad with her for taking my picture. How dare she, I thought. She had no respect for my privacy. And how dare she assume I would do the wrong thing? But soon I calmed down because I knew she wasn’t entirely incorrect. I’d made no decision to drive away without leaving ante but I’d be lying if I said the idea hadn’t flashed across my mind. It was dark, and aside from her no one was watching. It happens all the time-the hit-and-run in the parking lot.
We all have those desires to behave selfishly, to go against the social contract; it is not the thought but what we do with it that counts. It is the commitment to take responsibility, to care for one another, and to think about the greater good that makes this world a better place to stay. The choice to own up was left to me. I left a note with my name and phone number under the wiper blade of the Jeep.
【1】What happened to the author on that Sunday night?

B.He got hurt in a car accident
C.He hit a parked car accidentally.
D.He failed to find a parking space.
【2】Why did the author feel angry with the woman?
A.She blocked his view on purpose.
B.She spoke to him in a very rude way
C.She photographed him without permission.
D.She refused to take responsibility for her fault.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “own up” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Admit.
B.Occupy.
C.Disappear.
D.Refuse.
【4】What does the author intend to tell us through his story?
A.Everyone makes mistakes.
B.Always do the right thing.
C.Avoid conflicts with others.
D.Apologizing sincerely matters.
22、 I totally relate to the need many parents have in wanting their children to be special, unique, talented, and amazing. I think my child is all of those things too. Of course I do. But do we really need to be measuring and comparing the academic achievements of kids as young as 3, 4, and 5 years old?
These days, I often find it difficult to have a casual conservation with other parents of children who are only in preschool without being told. about how their kid is phenomenally (显著地)"advanced” in writing or that they're already reading at a 2nd-grade level.
I mean, obviously that's great news if you've been led to believe your child possesses a remarkable talent because they're catching on well in preschool. However. I can't help but notice that the height of parental bragging (夸耀)has reached too high both in real life and on social media.
I realize I'm probably pessimistic, but I'm afraid that we're placing our children on a ridiculously steep pedestal (基座)at too young of an age and we're really just giving our children a higher place to eventually fall from.
The ever increasing loads of homework being sent home in preschool and kindergarten seem like overkill as well. The most important skill young kids in preschool and kindergarten should be learning are social skills, in my opinion.
So, while I think it's great that your child may be very "advanced” for their age, I sincerely hope your child is happy, well-adjusted, surrounded by kind friends, and praised for so much more than how quickly they can read or write.
【1】What does the author realize when she's talking with other parents of children in preschool?
A.They're very proud of their parenting.
B.They like showing off their children's academic achievements.
C.They spend a lot of time teaching their children to write.
D.They like comparing their children with themselves.
【2】Paragraph 4 mainly shows that the author is ________.
A.ambiguous B.jealous C.optimistic D.concerned
【3】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A.Parents shouldn't want their children to be unique.
B.It’s very important that kids in preschool learn writing.
C.Kids in preschool should be mainly taught social skills.
D.Preschool education will hardly affect kids in the long run.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Stop wasting your kid's talents
B.Stop teaching your kid to read and write
C.Stop telling others your kid is "advanced”
D.Stop scolding your kid for poor academic performance
23、You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated(积累)by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote(推动)a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent(代表).
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal (显露)a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Others on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.” These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence ( 青春期 )—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship.
【1】How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
A. By collecting more tangible things.
B. By correcting what museums normally represent.
C. By showing what ordinary people have collected.
D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
【2】What can be learned about collectors from their collections?
A. Who they are.
B. How old they are.
C. Where they were born.
D. Why they might not mean to collect.
【3】 Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?
A. To help people sell their collections.
B. To encourage more people to collect.
C. To study the importance of collecting.
D. To find out why people visit museums.
【4】According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they _______.
A.are in their childhood
B. feel happy with life
C. are ready for a relationship
D. become adults
24、Since the show “SQUID GAME” appeared in mid-September, the show has taken the world by storm, producing millions of videos on TikTok. In Paris, fights broke out as fans tried to crowd into a shop where visitors could take photos with staff dressed like the characters from the show.
“Squid Game”, which takes its name from a common Korean schoolyard game, follows a group of heavily-indebted(负债累累)losers who are dressed in green sportswear and fight for a nearly $40 million prize.
The global strong interest in the show confused people in South Korea. “Nobody around me understands why it was so popular, and neither do I,” says In-young, a 26-year-old from Seoul who stopped watching after a couple of series because it upset her to see her childhood games described as a cold-blooded struggle for survival, though she admitted in some way the show made sense for ordinary South Koreans who are struggling with unaffordable housing and low-paid jobs.
One Korean critic thinks that the mix of violent amusement with very popular comments explains the show’s attraction to Western audiences, who are used to such subjects from American productions such as “The Hunger Games”.
No doubt the attractive shape of the design, the grand clothing and scenes as well as the translation of different languages also help. The popularity of “Squid Game” is a reflection of South Korea’s strong cultural power on the global stage. It may also have benefited from “Parasite”, a film about social unfairness, which won the Oscar for best pictures in 2020. But most of all, it shows that, like love and money, complaints about unfairness have no language.
【1】Why does the author mention fights in Paris in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To stress the value of the show.
C.To show the popularity of the show.
D.To state the cold-blooded situation in Paris.
【2】According to a Korean critic, what makes the show so popular with the Westerners?
A.Its characters dressed in green sportswear.
B.Its strong cultural power on the global stage.
C.Its staff dressed like the characters from the show.
D.Its subject concerning both violent amusement and very popular comments.
【3】What can we learn about the show from the third paragraph?
A.Few Korean people like to watch the show.
B.In-young misses her childhood games very much.
C.In-young’s childhood games are cruel and violent.
D.The show reflects the reality of Korean to some degree.
【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards the “SQUID GAME”?
A.Positive.
B.Concerned.
C.Objective.
D.Doubtful.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was time to go home.“Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,”Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her.“I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind.“She’s stolen my watch!”Lee said angrily,“It went missing at school yesterday.”
