21、Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life. You don’t need statistics to understand the Dane’s happy lot. Walk around any Danish town and you’ll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere. Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye, and the locals’ manners and sense of humor is refreshing.
Denmark’s capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well-preserved medieval streets, renowned art galleries, Michelin-starred restaurants and a healthy business center. Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails, just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours .
Beyond the capital and the bigger cities, Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside, medieval churches , Renaissance castles and tidy 18th-century villages.
The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors. So, no matter what time of year you’re in Denmark, you shouldn’t miss out on a trip to the nearest beach .
It’s hard , in short , to find fault with the place. The visitor’s most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark. True, it is not a cheap destination , but no more so than the UK, and which nation’s public transport system would you rather use?
Cheer yourself up by thinking of the country’s remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts. When viewed in this way , this first-rate destination seems like good value, and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free: the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens, not least handsome Prince Frederik , his beautiful Australian-born princess-bride, Mar, and their young family.
【1】Which of the following words can best describe Danes ?
A. Polite and humorous .

D. The Danish royal family plays an important role in politics .
【3】How does the passage mainly develop ?

C. To share experiences of travelling in Denmark .
D. To describe the happy life people live in Denmark .
22、 In one of my favorite photographs of my mother, she's about 18 and very tall, with long, blond hair. It's the 1970s and my dad is there, too, hugging her from behind．
I haven't seen this photo for years. I have no idea where it is now, but I still think of it and, specifically, my mom is in it. She looks so young and innocent. At that time she hasn't yet dropped out of college, or got married. The young woman in this photo has no idea that life will bring her five children and five grandchildren, one divorce, two marriages and a move across the country．
For me, as for many daughters, the time before my mother became a mother is a string of stories, told and retold: the time she sold her childhood Barbie doll to buy a ticket to Woodstock; the time she worked as a waitress at Howard Johnson's, struggling to pay her way through her first year at Rutgers. The old photos of her are even more appealing than the stories because they're a historical record, carrying the weight of fact．
It is always a comfort from those photos to know that time, aging and motherhood cannot take away a woman's essential identity. For daughters who closely resemble their moms, it must be an even bigger comfort: these mothers and daughters are twins, separated by a generation ,and an old photo serves as a kind of mirror．
For daughters, these old photos of our mothers feel like both a chasm(巨大差异)and a bridge. The woman in the picture is someone other than the woman we know. She is also exactly the person in the photo-still, right now. Finally, we see that the woman we've come to think of as Mom-whether she's nurturing(养育), or disapproving, or thoughtful, or supportive, or sentimental--is also a mysterious, fun, brave babe．
She's been here all this time.
【1】What can we know about the author's mother from paragraphs 2&3?
A.She divorced twice all her life
B.Life was tough for her during her first year at college
C.She traveled across the country in her youth
D.She was good at storytelling
【2】Why does the author find the photo of her mother appealing?
A.The photo reminds her of her mother
B.Her mother looks young and happy in the photo
C.She wonders why her mother dropped out of college
D.The photo tells a lot about her mother in her youth
【3】Some photos of mothers bring comfort to their daughters because________.
A.the photos are kept well even after generations
B.the photos record the life of the mothers faithfully
C.the photos help daughters to learn more about their mothers
D.the photos show the essential part of the mothers remains unchanged
【4】Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A.The Pictures of Our Mothers
B.Our Mothers as We Never Saw Them
C.My Favorite Picture of My Mother
D.The Way to Learn About Our Mothers

24、 Giuseppe Paterno achieved the dream of a lifetime: He got a university degree when he was 97.
Mr. Paterno's graduation has inspired news coverage around the world, partly because of his age. Mr. Paterno has seemed to get around the many difficulties he has faced in his lifetime. Studying had been his passion since he was a small child, he said, “but unfortunately life betrayed me.”
Bom in Palermo in 1923, he was the first of seven children in a very poor family. His dad worked at a job on a farm, and his mother took care of these children at home. Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. "The family was large, there was only one paycheck, we were under fascism (法西斯主义)，and times were tough," he said. Eventually he ended up at a publishing house, where the boss persuaded his father to send him back to school for a three-year vocational degree. Mr. Paterno then worked for an insurance agency while he took private classes to become a telegraph operator. The job also opened doors to the State Railways company, where he worked for more than four decades.
In 1951, with a wife and two small children at home, he earned a high school degree as a surveyor, which led to an office job at State Railways. It was only after he retired, in the mid-1980s, that he returned to his books, taking theology courses through the Archdiocese of Palermo after a chance meeting with a professor of history who urged him to follow his passion.
Mr. Micari, the president of the University of Palermo, congratulated Mr. Paterno on finishing his degree with a near-perfect grade point average. "A graduate at this age, who has all this passion, this enthusiasm, and this talent is certainly an extraordinary spokesman for our university," Mr. Micari told reporters later.
【1】What did Giuseppe Paterno do after primary school?

D.He managed a publishing house.

C.Cautious. D.Far-sighted.
【3】What made Giuseppe Paterno get an office job at State Railways?
A.Working for an insurance agency.
B.Taking private classes in telegraph.
C.Receiving his high school degree.
D.Working there for over forty years.
【4】What message does the story convey?

C.Education is the key to success.
D.Ups and downs make one strong.

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。
One June evening, Sylvia, 8, was driving her cow home through the woods. Suddenly a clear whistle broke the peace. Before she could hide into the bushes, she was stopped by a young man, who carried a gun over his shoulder. “Hello, little girl. I am hunting for some birds but I have lost my way,” he said kindly. “Can I spend the night at your house?” Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
Sylvia’s grandma was really kind. She cooked for the young man and chatted with him. “Sylvia is very shy but she is popular with birds,” Grandma said proudly. “Birds come and feed right out of her hands, and all sorts of birds.”
“So Sylvia knows all about birds?” he asked excitedly. “I am making a collection of birds myself.”
“Do you cage them up?” asked Grandma.
“Oh no, they’re stuffed (制作标本) and preserved,” said the young man. “I came here for a white heron (鹭), a tall white bird with long thin legs. It would have a nest perhaps in the top of a high tree.” He looked at Sylvia, hoping for some answers. Sylvia’s heart gave a wild beat. She knew the bird, but she said nothing.
“I would offer ten dollars to any helper,” the man added desperately. Ten dollars was really a big sum. Sylvia agreed with a nod.
The next day they started early, the young man going first and Sylvia following. He proved to be really kind and told her many things about birds. She could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much. In the evening, they returned, empty-handed.
Lying in bed, Sylvia suddenly thought of a great pine-tree, which stood at the farther edge of the woods and towered far above the others. “If I climb it at daybreak, maybe I could easily discover from where the white heron flew, and mark the place, and find the hidden nest.” she thought. What a big secret!
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak.
