21、The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has welcomed home two paintings by the Dutch master, more than 14 years after they were ripped (抢) off the museum’s wall in a nighttime theft. Museum director Axel Rueger called their return “one of the most special days in the history of the museum.”
The paintings were discovered last year by Italian police while they were searching suspected Italian criminals’ farmhouse near Naples for evidence of drug dealing. The two paintings were wrapped in cotton sheets. They were stuffed in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet when they were found.
The paintings were considered among the artworks most searched for in the world. After years in darkness, they can now shine again. They are back on display at the museum before being taken to the conservation studio for repair. Fortunately, they suffered remarkably little damage as thieves who had climbed up a ladder and broken a window to get into the museum in 2004 rip them out of their frames.
“It is not only a surprise that the works have been recovered but it’s even more surprising they are in relatively unharmed condition,” Rueger said.
The museum director was on vacation when the call came last year from Italian authorities who believed they had recovered the paintings. He didn’t celebrate right away. He’d had calls li this before.
“I was hopeful but also a little hesitant. Over these years, we had so many occasions when people phoned us, contacted us, claiming that they knew something about the whereabouts (下落) of the works and each time it was false, the trace went cold,” he said. “So...the way has been till of disappointment.” But museum experts sent to Italy to check the authenticity(真实性) of the works quickly turned Rueger’s doubts into delight.
Rueger said the paintings are now back permanently at the museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh. “I’m very confident that everything is safe in the museum from now on,” he said.
【1】How were the stolen paintings found?
A. The police found them by accident.
B. The arrested thieves gave information.
C. Some drug dealers offered clues.
D. The police knew the hidden place.
【2】What surprised Rueger most about the lost paintings?
A. They were stolen at night. B. They were found at last.
C. They suffered little damage. D. The search took 14 years.
【3】When Rueger got the call from Italian authorities, he .
A. didn’t believe them B. felt quite relieved
C. planned to celebrate D. doubted the news
【4】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Reuger gradually lost interest in the search.
B. The number of false calls was greatly reduced.
C. Rueger felt cold because of too many false calls.
D. The chance to find the paintings became slim.
22、Vegetable displays have become surprisingly similar in markets around the world, which offer primarily commercial vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, onion, carrot, beet, lettuce and broccoli. In other words, world diets are actually becoming more similar and based on fewer crops.
A much greater diversity of vegetables exist in traditional food systems, but many of these crops are poorly integrated in current markets and diets. A total of 1,097 vegetable species, with a great variety of uses and growth forms, are cultivated worldwide. Still, we only seem to be familiar with less than 7% of these species.
The diversity of vegetables is more than a local preference. It could play an important role in ensuring adequate levels of nutrition and in meeting the challenges of agricultural production posed by climate change and soil degradation (退化). Many traditional vegetables are known to have higher nutritional value than commercial vegetables, and are well-adapted to local conditions, exhibiting resistance to drought, pests, diseases and poor soil conditions. For example, the Mayan spinach (玛雅菠菜) contains exceptional levels of protein, vitamin C and iron, and provides leaves year-round with little water and in poor soil conditions. Traditional crops like this could be strategic in helping more people meet the recommended levels of fruit and vegetable consumption, which is currently n global health concern.
Lack of information on traditional vegetables is a major barrier to their use and promotion because it prevents a wider recognition of their values and understanding of how best to grow, process and market them. Organizations around the world are placing increasing efforts on promoting these so called “forgotten foods”, because of their value and potential in bringing nutrition and income benefits to consumers and producers, as well as in strengthening local food traditions. This could be the beginning of a great transformation towards more diverse, vegetable-rich food systems around the world.
【1】Why are world diets becoming more similar?
A．People prefer vegetables rich in nutrition.
B．Fewer kinds of vegetables are planted worldwide.
C．7% of vegetable crops lost their chances to survive.
D．A limited variety of vegetables are available to people.
【2】What does the underlined word “cultivated” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Sold.
B．Planted.
C．Displayed.
D．Promoted.
【3】What can be learned from the example of the Mayan spinach?
A．Climate change is a great threat to humans.
B．Soil degradation affects vegetable diversity.
C．Commercial vegetables are highly profitable.
D．Many traditional vegetables have great values to us.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional vegetables?
A．Hopeful.
B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Pessimistic.
23、A sleepover (在外过夜的聚会) at Legoland Discovery Centre, at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, may sound like the perfect place to host your child's next birthday party — but it will set parents back more than ￡1,000.
All rides — Kingdom Quest Laser Ride, Merlin's Apprentice and Lego City Forest Pursuit — are open during the evening and supervision (监管) on these rides is provided at all times. The Lego Studios 4D Cinema is also open and guests have exclusive use of the Lego construction play area until 10:00 pm, which means you will have a good time and don't need to share any facilities with other groups.

Guests are also welcome to bring along their own food and drinks, and there are storage facilities where they can be kept.
"Also we do have daytime party packages available, which are ￡15 per child midweek and ￡18 per child at the weekend. But these packages have a policy of a minimum of nine and a maximum of 21 people, due to room capacity. "
The spokesman continued, "Included in the price for these parties is the birthday cake, and children's meal of sandwiches, crisps, fruit juice, fruit and Haribo sweets. All attending adults also get a free hot drink and the birthday child gets a free group photograph."
Legoland says that the pricing for the sleepover package is based on overall operating costs of opening the centre exclusively for the group.

24、 A graduation ceremony recording of the national anthem(国歌)became so much better than a social-distancing performance when a man wandering by decided to join in with great harmonies.

“I was totally surprised that someone would have the courage to just walk up and sing with me, but that's something that I admire about him. Looking back,I'm so glad that people are touched by what happened,” she added. “I think it's important to spread positivity and hope for the future, and I think that's what two people coming together to sing the anthem can do.”

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were a bunch of campers on our day off, just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park in the town. Since we all had different appetites, we decided to split up, get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the stand owner put together the perfect hot dog, just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man surprised us.
“It looks a little cool on the side,” he said, “so never mind paying me. This will be my free gift of the day.”
We said our thanks, joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
We finished eating and decided to head off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a weak voice ask, “There isn’t any food in that bag, is there? ”
It was the man who had been watching us. I didn’t know what to say. “No, I ate it already. ”
“Oh!” was his only answer. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.
I felt bad for the man, but I didn’t know what I could do. That’s when Robby said, “I’ll be right back. Please wait a minute,” and ran off.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I watched curiously as she went forward.
