21、Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night s sleep every night. They aren’t able to do their best unless they sleep well. Most experts agree that the proper number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that----and sometimes this influence your schoolwork.
I read an article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results suggested that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number wake up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack (点心) but because of FOMO ---- the fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren suffer (遭受痛苦) because of an increasing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a message or chance to take part in a discussion, teens wake up at all times of the night to go online and join up with social groups. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
The report gives some worrying numbers. 23% of 12- to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. As a result, one in three students are constantly tired and unable to do well at school.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave and turn off your phones and computers at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning. I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.
【1】What is the new trend among teenagers?
A．They get up too early in the morning.
B．They have difficulty in falling asleep at night.
C．They wake up at night to get something to eat.
D．They wake up in the middle of the night to go online.
【2】How did the author introduce the new trend?
A．By using examples.
B．By asking questions.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By showing research findings.
【3】What does the underlined word “ FOMO” mean?
A．A fear of going online.
B．A fear of losing touch on social media.
C．A need to go out all the time.
D．A need to use the latest technology
【4】What can we learn about the author’s opinion on the new trend?
A．It’s worrying.
B．It s encouraging.
C．It s hard to understand.
D．It s difficult to change.
22、 California’s Yosemite National Park is home to many stunning waterfalls. However, from mid-to-late February each year, the unlikely star of the preserve is Horsetail Fall-a small waterfall that forms over the eastern edge of the park’s famous vertical rock formation, El Capitan, every winter. That’s because, during the two-week-period, the temporary1,000-foot fall frequently transforms into a red “firefall” for about ten minutes a day during sunset.
For the phenomenon to occur, several conditions need to coincide. There must be enough snow and snow must be melted to form the waterfall. During drought years, Horsetail Fall is reduced to a trickle flowing slowly in drops or does not appear at all. Additionally, the skies have to be entirely clear. Even a slight mist is enough to ruin the illusion (错觉) of fire falling down the cliffs. Finally, the sun has to strike the water from the right angle to set the waterfall “burning” brightly.
The “firefall” has been popular with professional and amateur photographers since the 1940s.However, in recent years, thanks to social media, its fame has risen to new heights, with thousands of people flocking to the national park each February. In 2019, over 2,200 people crowded into the small viewing areas on February 22, the best day to see the light show last year. However, the visitors not only stepped on sensitive vegetation but also left behind large amounts of rubbish.
To prevent a repeat of the unfortunate incident, in 2020, the park service closed two of the ideal viewing areas. The only one open required a 1.5-mile-long hike. However, the 3-mile round-trip, as well as a warning by the officials that a dry spell turned the fall into a trickle, leaving the possibility of a “firefall” in doubt, didn’t not seem to have deterred fans. Hundreds of people made their way to Horsetail Fall to catch a glimpse of the light show. Hopefully, Horsetail Fall enthusiasts would be more respectful of the natural environment this time.
【1】When can the “firefall” be seen?
A.About at dawn.
B.Exactly at noon.
C.Just before dusk.
D.Late at night.
【2】Which of the following conditions must be met for the “firefall” to be visible?
A.The temperatures have to be warm enough.
B.Horsetail Fall must be reduced to a trickle.
C.There has to be enough slight fog in the sky.
D.The waterfall must be frozen down the cliff.
【3】What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A.The “firefall” was discovered by a photographer.
B.The viewing areas were equipped with telescopes.
C.Social media offer new tools to view the “firefall”.
D.The tourists caused the environmental pollution.
【4】What does the underlined word “deterred” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Disapproved. B.Discouraged.
C.Disturbed. D.Distinguished.
23、A hungry fly speeds through a forest. It smells nectar (a liquid that insects feed on) and lands on a green leaf. It starts to drink the sweet liquid. Suddenly, the fly's world turns green. The two sides of the leaf close against each other. Long green teeth lock together around it. The fly has been caught by a Venus flytrap. There is no escape.
The Venus flytrap is perhaps the most famous killer plant. However, scientists have only recently started to understand how it hunts and eats. After years of study, plant scientist Alexander Volkov believes he now knows the Venus flytrap's secret. “This,” says Volkov," is an electrical plant."
There are three small hairs along each of the Venus flytrap's two leaves. When an insect touches a hair, it creates an electrical signal in the leaf. The insect can continue feeding—for now. But if it touches another hair within 20 seconds, the trap snaps shut. This system allows the plant to tell the difference between a drop of water, for example, and a moving creature.
Once trapped, an insect has little chance of survival. Instead of nectar, the Venus flytrap now releases a different liquid —one that slowly eats away at the insect. Ten days later, almost nothing is left. The plant's leaves open again, and the Venus flytrap is ready for its next meal.
Besides the Venus flytrap, there are around 700 species of killer plants around the world. Some are deadly. Sundews catch insects using a sticky liquid on the end of long hairs. A butterwort's leaves are covered with tiny, gluey hairs that trap small insects. Pitcher plants have long tubelike leaves into which insects fall and die. Some pitcher plants are large enough to catch and eat small animals like frogs and mice.
【1】What is special about the Venus flytrap?
A．Its trap closes very slowly.
B．It has to feed on flies.
C．It produces electrical signals.
D．It just makes one kind of liquid.
【2】What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A．To explore how the insect survives.
B．To explain how the Venus flytrap works.
C．To describe different types of killer plants.
D．To introduce an experiment carried out on a plant.
【3】Which plant does not use hairs to catch insect?
A．The sundew.
B．The butterwort.
C．The pitcher plant.
D．The Venus flytrap.
【4】What might be discussed in the following part?
A．What meals a Venus flytrap prefers.
B．What the features of deadly plants are.
C．Where the deadly plants are found.
D．How other killer plants catch insects.
24、If you want to improve your child’s results at school, you could do a lot worse than ensuring that they do plenty of exercise．Scientists have already shown that physical activity can make you brainier．But a team in America has used scans to show that an important part of the brain actually grows in children who are fit．These youngsters tend to be more intelligent and have better memories than those who are inactive．
Scientists also found that one of the most important parts of their brains was 12 percent larger than those of unfit children．They believe that encouraging children to take exercise from a very young age could help them do better at school later．Researchers from the University of Illinois, in the U．S．, studied the brains of 49 children aged nine and ten using a magnetic resonance imaging scan （核磁共振摄影扫描）, a technique which provides very detailed pictures of organs and tissues in the body．
They also tested the fitness levels of the children by making them run on a treadmill （跑步机）．The scientists found that the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for memory and learning, was around 12 percent larger in the fitter children．
Professor Art Kramer, who led the study published in the journal Brain Research, said the findings had important implications for encouraging individuals to take part in sport from a young age．“We knew that experience and environmental factors and socioeconomic status all impact brain development,” he said．“If you get some terrible genes from your parents, you can’t really fix that, and it’s not easy to do something about your economic status．But here’s something that we can do something about．”
【1】If you want to improve your children’s result in school, ____________．
A. it is worse to ensure that they do plenty of exercise
B. you can have their brain scanned
C. it could be better to make sure that they do a lot of exercise
D. you can do a lot except ensuring that they do exercise
【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The fitness level of the children is linked to their intelligence．
B. Children who have a larger hippocampus will probably have better memories．
C. You can do something about the genes from your parents．
D. Unhealthy children will probably have a smaller hippocampus than others．
【3】All the following factors that have some influence on one’s brain are mentioned EXCEPT ____________．
A. genetic factor B. economic status

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。
Jonathan had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day after angrily running away from his home in the morning. Thinking of his quarrel with his mother for his study, he still felt depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing and snowing at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty set where there were no passers-by, because people must have locked themselves at home for warmth. Jonathan was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he encountered a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Jonathan had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s sad crying and the worry that he might be hit by cars made Jonathan just not walk away. He approached, saying, “Hey! What are you doing alone here? Where is your mother?”
“I want to go to mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Jonathan led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here? What’s your name?”
“I’m Leo. I was playing with my cat. He ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I turned back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Jonathan decided that he couldn’t leave the little boy alone here. With no cellphone and considering the police station was far from here, Jonathan decided to help him first.
He took him to different neighborhoods, aiming to look for his home. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker, and Jonathan thought he had to find Leo’s home. He knocked on every door, noneffective. Exhausted and starving, he realized Leo must be as hungry as him. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It was snowing more heavily, and he removed his coat and put it around Leo.
