21、If you're one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves（竖凹槽）that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it's one of the everyday things we take for granted.
But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, the deep, grey lines make an escalator's metal stairs more appealing to the eye. But regular stairs don't have grooves like these; why do escalators need them? Is it because of the movement?
It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And, yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with general cleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You've surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here's what you may not have noticed: As an escalator's steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb plate together, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.
That's not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.
So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.
【1】What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?
A．Millions of people use escalators every year.
B．Few people think much about the grooves.
C．Escalators are complicated machines.
D．Grooves make the stairs look better.
【2】The ridge is mainly designed to____
A．clean off dangerous objects.
B． keep the stairs in movement.
C．flatten the steps.
D．lock the steps.
【3】What does the underlined word "slick” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Smooth.
B．Sticky.
C．Steep.
D．Slippery.
【4】What's the passage mainly about?
A．The importance of escalators.
B．The reasons for grooves on stairs.
C．The look of grooves in escalators.
D．The safe ways of riding escalators.
22、The symphony ended and after much applause the audience moved out of the warmth of the hall and into the cold night air. It had been one of the best performances of recent months and you could feel the excitement as the crowd moved down the street. Taxis seemed to appear from nowhere to convey people home，while others sought out bars and restaurants. Everyone was chatting excitedly and the magic of the performance carried on in their minds.
This had been a traditional classic，with none of the clumsy notes so loved by the so-called modernists. The music had thrilled the soul and assisted in lifting the spirits to a higher level. Perhaps in these hard times someone might learn this valuable lesson. What was wanted was traditional works that attracted crowds，not the shameful and incomprehensible pieces that had left so many seats unoccupied for so long.
As the people left they seemed to carry some of the performances along with them. It was like the fragrance of a rose bush carried by a gentle wind，sweet and exciting，yet at a distance the source unknown. A few hummed（哼）the tunes as they walked along，spreading their enjoyment far and wide. Long into the night you could still feel the emotion of the music and as dawn rose over the city the next day，the last faint echoes（回声）still remained as people returned to work.
Critics are critics；they are never really interested in ordinary people and simple pleasures. Where was the skill in simply playing well to a fascinated audience？What was advanced by the performance of well-known overtures（序曲）？So，as would be expected，they used their usual phrases and quotations to belittle（贬低）the traditional classics. As a result，the pop returned. And within a week the concert hall was almost empty again.
【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us ________.
A．many people attended the concert
B．how the people spent their evening
C．the concert impressed those people
D．many people were fascinated with music
【2】In the author's opinion，________.
A．modern music is preferable
B．classics are more valuable
C．classics are incomprehensible
D．modern music equals classics
【3】In what background was the concert held？
A．Most people didn't like pop music.
B．The economy was rapidly developing.
C．Cultural life was rather short.
D．The country was in difficulty.
【4】What is the author's attitude toward music critics？
A．Favorable.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Subjective.
23、 China-born filmmaker Chloé Zhao made history at the Golden Globe Awards, becoming the first woman of Asian descent (血统) and second woman ever to win the best director award in the Golden Globes’ 78-year history.
Many, including actors and critics, congratulated the director on social media. “The film is patient, open and full of sympathy, motivated by a desire to wander and observe rather than to judge or explain,” Korean American actor Daniel Dae Kim wrote on Twitter. Barbra Streisand, the first woman who had won Golden Globe for best director in 1984, said “It’s about time! Congratulations Chloé! Well deserved!” in a Twitter post.
Nomadland was adapted from a 2017 non-fiction book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century. The film stars two-time Oscar winner Frances McDormand as an out-of-work woman who packs her van and sets off from her small town to travel around the vast landscape of the American West, exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad (游牧民).
Zhao’s first film—Songs My Brothers Taught Me—was shot when she was a student at New York University. In 2017, Zhao directed, wrote and produced her second film The Rider. In all her three films, non-actors were cast to play fictionalized versions of themselves. It a techniques he originally adopted out of economic necessity after film school but one she has used often for its realism.
Building on her success, she will develop an original futuristic sci-fi western inspired by Dracula for Universal Pictures. Her next project is the highly expected Marvel Cinematic Universe Installment The Eternals. For this film, Zhao is expected to draw inspiration from her Chinese background and childhood experience. “I have such deep, strong, manga (日本漫画) roots,” Zhao told Hollywood Reporter, “and I look forward to pushing more of that marriage of East and West.”

24、Sports performance can be influenced by many different things. 【1】
There are many physical factors（因素）that play a part in sports performance. 【2】 The natural talent and strength of the players will make a difference. Also，it is important to get enough sleep before you are in a sports event. 【3】 Eating good meals is also important. When you are hungry，you cannot perform the same.

of course，the more a team or a player practices，the more likely they are to perform well. The same person with the same physical abilities might just become better as he practices.
Researching your competitor can matter a lot in sports performance. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses can help you adjust how you play to give yourself a better performance against them. 【4】 If you can figure out where to hit the ball in tennis that would confuse your competitor，for example，then this can help you score points.
【5】 If someone is very pessimistic about a game，for example，and is sure that he will lose，then he might increase his chances of doing so. If he is very nervous then he might be thinking about that instead of focusing on the game. If he is focused then he might do better，achieving what he didn't even realize he could. His confidence can also affect how the other team views him.
A．It is important to be aware of these factors.
B．It is necessary to get to know your competitor and yourself.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Mother’s Heartfelt Note of Love
Everything seemed to have changed for me when I entered high school. I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. “My brothers and sister all fit in.” I thought, coming in the door after another bad day at school. “Why can’t I?”
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. What had happened to the mother who used to snuggle (依偎) with me on the sofa, loving me with complete acceptance? Who thought everything I did was wonderful? I didn’t bother trying to explain my unhappiness. It was easier to hide in my bedroom, without saying a word, like I did every afternoon.
Clearing off some space, I sat down at my desk. Yet another thing I wasn’t good at anymore. My grades had slipped along with my confidence. I turned to a new page in my notebook and started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. “Wrong again!” I thought. “You can’t do anything right!” I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. The ball landed on the floor. I heard my mother’s voice in my head, “Why can’t you keep your room clean?”
By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled (弄皱的) paper. It gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I’d made. Like it was proof of all my shortcomings. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes. With my face a mask of indifference, no one knew what I was really feeling. Who would want to listen?
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. “Nothing I do is right in her eyes.” I thought. “Or anyone else’s, including mine.”
