21、“When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for a walk in the countryside,” says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German architect working in London. There may be something in the stereotype. Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbours do.
The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs. Britons are big walkers—they came fifth in the world in a study in 2017, the highest in Europe. Dogs provide walkers with company and a purpose, so it may be that walking encourages dog-ownership, rather than vice versa.
But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. “Britons tend to see dog-walking as a rare opportunity to socialise with strangers, to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger (ie, without being too committed in their interaction).”
A tradition among the British aristocracy (贵族) of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoile to speculate that dog-walking retains some of its ancient kudos. When people in the park say “Max is very well-behaved,” says Dr Dugnoille, “that is a way to demonstrate mastery in the art of taming, an elevation above those dog owners who are ‘not in control of their own dog’.”
But it’s not just about showing off, in his view. He believes walking with one’s best friend creates a time and space where dogs and humans meet as species and connect as individuals.
Still, Britons should not congratulate themselves too much on their behavior towards their dog companions, for they are guilty of a universal hypocrisy (虚伪). According to Dr Carri Westgarth of Liverpool University, “People say that a dog needs a walk every day, but they will find reasons why their dog doesn’t need a walk. They’ll say: he’s got company indoors, he’s nervous or he doesn’t like the rain.”
【1】The queen is mentioned in paragraph 1 to show ______.
A．a foreigner’s impression of England
B．the British devotion to walking dogs
C．the importance of dog-walking for Europeans
D．the queen’s love for walking with her companion
【2】What does Dr Dugnoille most probably agree with?
A．Britons see dogs as protectors from danger.
B．Dog-walking is related to the British culture.
C．Britons prefer to walk rather than walk the dog.
D．Dog-walking is a close link between the British and nature.
【3】What does the underlined word “kudos” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Practice.
B．Belief.
C．Honor.
D．Manner.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Love Your Dog, Walk Your Dog
B．How Do Britons Walk Their Dogs?
C．Dog-walking, the New Fashion
D．Why Do Britons Love to Walk Dogs?
22、Designing playgrounds is a tough job. First, they have to be fun. But they also have to be safe, affordable, and accessible. Kids with disabilities can use and enjoy accessible playgrounds. Some people can’t get around without the help of a wheelchair or walker. Others have trouble climbing, jumping, or balancing. How do you design a playground for people with such different disabilities?
One way is to provide accessible equipment. Think about swings. They’re a popular piece of playground equipment. But most swings are just a thick flat piece of rubber to sit on and two chains to hang onto. Kids who have trouble controlling their muscles may fall off and get hurt. How would you solve this problem?
It’s not just equipment that can cause problems for kids with disabilities. Even the surface of a playground is important. The ground under many playgrounds isn’t smooth. It’s covered with loose wood or rubber chips. This makes the ground softer in case someone falls, but the loose material is hard for some people to cross — especially people in wheelchairs. Some playgrounds solve this problem with smooth, rubber surfaces. These are great for everyone.
It takes creative thinking to come up with designs that work for everyone. Take a sandbox for example, is it low to the ground? Most sandboxes are. These are fun for kids who can easily sit or kneel on the ground. But what about kids who can’t?
Now design three sandboxes. One is on the ground, and two others are on raised platforms. One is at knee level, and the other is at waist level. Kids who can sit, stand, and kneel can play at any of them. Kids in wheelchairs, or others who can’t easily play on the ground, can use the raised ones. If all three sandboxes are right next to each other, all sorts of kids can play together.
While you’re looking at playgrounds with a designer’s eye, you’ll probably notice that some aren’t very accessible. Many old playgrounds weren’t designed with a range of abilities in mind. It can be expensive to change that. Still, accessible playgrounds are becoming more common. Doesn’t every kid deserve to have fun?
【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To argue against a new popular idea.
B．To introduce the topic of the text.
C．To give some background information.
D．To stress the importance of equipment.
【2】What is the disadvantage of the traditional swing?
A．It may be risky for some kids.
B．It is a bit boring for most swing users.
C．It is not accessible for younger children.
D．It cannot help kids build up their muscles.
【3】What kind of ground is most accessible?
A．One made of rubber chips.
B．One covered with loose wood.
C．One that has a rough soft surface.
D．One that has a smooth rubber surface.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Design a Playground Every Kid can enjoy
B．Visit a playground that is accessible to all
C．Help kids with disabilities in playgrounds
D．Find ways to provide accessible equipment
23、Staying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”
Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings
Choose silence instead of blurting out “in-the-moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.
Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect the other person enough to hear what they have to say.
Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.
Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can start the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s best to just observe and learn.
Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fool’s argument. As some squabbles(口角) will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.
However, there will be times in your life where you will need the power of your voice,the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated.
【1】The passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. whether or not to stay silent B. why to stay silent
C. how to stay silent D. when to stay silent
【2】What is the best to do during negotiation?
A. Grasp every chance to say more than the other
B. Close your mouth and just listen to the other
C. Speak out your own points and discuss with others
D. Keep silent after expressing yourself
【3】To follow this passage, the writer is likely to continue telling about ________.
A. the occasions when you should speak up
B. the power of your voice
C. the advantages of speaking up
D. the disadvantages of staying silent
24、As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroad, another car T-boned them, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby house, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door, jamming it shut. Shaken, but still OK, she crawled out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who'd also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn't with them. Norwood ran back to the seriously damaged car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She wasn't moving,” Norwood told the reporter. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.”Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That's when I started CPR.”
If the accident had happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she'd learned.
She started pressing Simmons's chest with her crossed fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th press, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, an ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received stitches (缝合) for a wound in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn't shocked,” said Simmons. “She will always help any way she can."

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。
As an outdoor lover, I’ve made it a routine to explore different regions annually with a friend during our vacation.This year, apart from beauty of nature, I’ve experienced something more.
It was late afternoon.A few hours before sunset, Christina and I decided to hike to Acomat Falls, tucked away in the rainforest.
Expecting to spend no more than an hour at the falls, we wore T-shirts and swimsuits and hadn’t told anyone where we were going.After crossing the wide river at a shallow spot and walking upstream about 100 yards, we reached the falls at around 4 p.m.We dove into the green pool and floated on our backs, marveling at the canyon walls.
By 4:30, Christina reminded me that we needed to head back to the car before dark, but I was waist deep in the river trying to photograph the falls, the hanging vines, and the dreaminess of the place.Christina had to wait on a stone.I finally took a good photo——and then she screamed.
With a crack like thunder, a violent wall of water rushed over the falls, turning the dreamy swimming pool into a churning monster.Flash flood! I jumped out of the river seconds before the flood crashed over the spot where I’d just been standing.Christina scrambled barefoot off the boulder toward higher ground.Christina and I clawed our way up the canyon on all fours, grabbing vines to pull ourselves up.I looked over my shoulder and saw that the water had risen 20 feet in less than a minute.
Christina led us through dense bush, prickly trees, and ankle-deep mud.When we’d climbed 200 feet, we stopped to catch our breath.Now we had a different problem: The road was on the other side of the swollen river.We were stuck in the rain-forested mountain.
We had no rain jackets and were exhausted from the scramble.Christina asked if I had my phone.It was soaking wet, but still blinked on.No service.We decided to move toward higher ground to get a better signal.It was almost dark.For a moment, the phone connected, and I heard the faint voice of Mary, our rental host.She said she’d call for help.Then the phone went silent---no signal again.
