21、My school stood in a big square playground in southeastern South Dakota. One teacher taught all grades, first through eighth. Most grades had only two or three students.
Our school day started with the flag pledge (宣誓). Then the teacher called one grade at a time to the recitation bench beside her desk. At noon we ate lunches we had brought. Our lunches were made up of homemade sandwiches and if we were lucky, dessert. My favourite dessert was a fresh pear, and a piece of Mom’s delicious sour cream chocolate cake.
The annual Christmas programme was the most exciting part of the year. We hurried through our lessons during December to allow time to practise poems, songs, and plays.
A few days before the performance, the school board members borrowed equipment from the town and set up a stage across one side of the classroom. We hung bed sheets for curtains.
On the evening of the performance, petrol lanterns hanging along the walls cast a warm, though not very bright, light over the gathering crowd. We could hardly control our excitement as we looked from behind the curtains to wave at our parents.
On a spring Sunday in a new term, just before the last day of the school term, everyone in the neighborhood gathered for a picnic. Our moms set fried chicken, bowls of salads, and desserts on the teacher’s desk and the library table. After the dinner, we played games. One of the school board members brought big buckets of ice cream in the afternoon to top off the picnic. How we looked forward to that treat!
I was just nineteen years old when I started my first teaching position in a country school with thirteen students. I felt excited, nervous and happy as I prepared my lunch bucket the first morning of the term. I can’t remember what kind of sandwiches I packed, but I do remember I put in a fresh pear and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!

22、An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.
【1】What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?
A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.
B．Social media offer many tempting videos.
C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.
D．Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.
【2】What’s the meaning of underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph?
A．Astonishing.
B．Rewarding.
C．Embarrassing.
D．Shrinking.
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?
A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.
B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.
C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.
D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.
【4】What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?
A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.
B．Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.
C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.
D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.
23、The Oxford Dictionary describes staycations as “a holiday spent in one’s home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions.” 【1】
It gives you almost 100% of restful time with little to no prep. Stop to consider the following: the ratio (比例) of quality time that’s spent on relaxation is more important than the number of days for holidays. 【2】 For instance, a weekend break that consists of long travel on either side is no recipe (良方) for relaxation.
This is one of the reasons why staycations are more refreshing than vacations. 【3】 Instead of losing time and energy preparing for a vacation, a staycation will provide you with high-quality resting time. You’ll get back to work feeling more refreshed, and relaxed.
【4】 Staycations also tick some of the same boxes as vacations like experiencing new things. You just need to explore nearby things which you have never paid attention to. Often we overlook the attractions that are near to us. 【5】 However, if you make an effort to explore the area close to where you live, you may be pleasantly surprised. There will be cafes and restaurants you’ve never tried, historic buildings you’ve never seen before, and nature parks you’ve never visited. So with a little effort on your part, you’ll be able to experience new and exciting things close to home.
A．They act as real breaks from work and life pressure.
B．If you give this some thought, you’ll realize that it’s true.
C．A vacation can leave you more tired than before your trip.
D．In addition, it can offer you fresh experiences immediately.
E．Let’s take a look at the great things about taking a staycation.
F．Staycations don’t mean long traveling, which costs you a lot less.
G．We often choose to spend big amounts of money visiting foreign countries.
24、As we enter into this new age of cities in which more than half the world’s population will live in an urban area, we must also take a hard look at how we will care for the significant increase in our elderly population. While many will be living longer, they will be doing so with age-related health issues and disease. Of special concern, the number of people living with dementia（痴呆）worldwide is set to treble by 2050. Alzheimer’s Disease International reports that 44 million people live with the disease now but that figure will increase to 135 million by 2050. With this added pressure to health systems, technology is the critical factor to success.
In Oslo, Norway, a retired engineer, Mr. Helge Farsund cares for his wife, Kari. Kari, who had been an intensive-care nurse who served with the Red Cross in Rwanda, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s three years ago. Looking to live as normal a life as possible as Kari’s condition progressed, they are participating in a pilot project studying how a smart home powered by sensors enables people with Alzheimer’s Disease to stay in their home.
The system is created by Abilia. At the center of the system is an iPad-like device. The screen has Skype, which allows carers to regularly check in with patients．
Some l,000 people now have the system installed in their homes, and 25 of them, including the Farsunds, are testing the latest version, which combines the screen with wirelessly connected sensors around the house to detect motion. If a door is opened or left open, or if the stove is left on, the system alerts patients and caretakers of danger. The planner also provides spoken reminders about daily tasks, such as when they need to take medicine and events like birthdays as well as enabling caretakers and family members to check in remotely via Skype.
“With this kind of system, it allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” says vice president Oystein Johnsen. For him, any move to improve city life needs to begin with people. “Smart cities are coming and they need to start with individuals in their own home,” he says. “It also saves the government money. In Norway it cost one million Norwegian krone (￡100,000) per year to have someone in a home, while this system costs 15,000. That is a lot of money to save.”
【1】Which section of BBC news is most likely to include this passage?

C. Technology D. Business
【2】The case of Helge and Kari Farsund in the second paragraph serves to .
A. expose a social problem

【3】Which of the following functions can all be performed by the system?
① To warn people of possible dangers
② To help check in with patients
③ To offer people some medicine
④ To cure people of Alzheimer's
⑤ To remind people of daily tasks
⑥ To play movies like an iPad
A. ①②⑤ B. ②③⑤
C. ①④⑥ D. ③④⑤
【4】According to the last paragraph, Oystein Johnsen will approve that .
A. smart cities should be human-based
B. the system should reduce its cost
C. mass production is still impossible
D. individuals are responsible for future
25、Magic of Smile
Smiling is the most desirable human behavior. We tend to overlook the power of smiling, which can work out many wonders and miracles.
In my spare time in the States, I loved to take a walk around the small community where I lived. Whoever I met on the way, they always gave me a friendly greeting accompanied (伴随) with a nice smile as soon as our eyes had ________. Spontaneously (本能的, 自动的), I smiled back. This kind of smiling exchange represented the most ________ part of my jogging experience in the States.
When it comes to doing business, my ________ is “I love to see my customers smile”. If a customer smiles when he sees you, it means he feels ________ dealing with you. More importantly, it means he makes money. If he can make money, I get the business rolling.
On a personal note, my daughter’s giggle is just like ________, which warms my inside the same way as the sun warms my body. It can ________ away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. Whenever I see her photo, her giggle echoes（回响） around my ________. The little reserved and controlled smile of my wife, however, reflects the beauty of a matured and well-learnt woman. It is so ________ in my eyes. It can sometimes really turn me on.
Julia Robert’s ________ is nothing but roaring like earthquake or volcano. It can overtake men and women alike. Americans may ________ in many other ways, but they all agree that Julia is America’s sweetheart. Nobody can ________ her laughter plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert. Both of us ________ into a kind of Julia’s laughter.
Yes, laughter is something we can not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too gloomy.
Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home and he had a little doggy by the name of Mini. Mini is a ________ pet. Every time, we came home, she ________ up and down and insisted on giving me some lipping. When I held her gently and asked her to give me a little smile, she just ________ her mouth and half closed her eyes, looking like every inch of smiling. That left a deep impression on me.
