21、   Charles Brooks of Newark, New Jersey patented the street sweeper truck on March 17th, 1896. He patented a ticket punch(剪票钳) design too that avoided ticket litter thrown away here and there. Little can be known about him other than that he was a black man.

Horses and oxen were the main means of transportation in Brooks's time—where there are animals, there is manure(粪肥).So there were piles of manure that needed removing regularly. The task of street sweeping was not carried out by machines, but workers sweeping garbage with a broom into a container. This method clearly required a lot of labor, although it did provide employment.

That changed when mechanical street sweepers were invented by Joseph Whitworth in England and C. S. Bishop in the USA, which were still drawn by horses as Bishop's design was dragged behind horses. Later Brooks made some changes—a truck with revolving brushes that swept the litter into a hopper(漏斗). The revolving brushes were attached to the front part of the truck and could be replaced by scrapers for snow removal in winter.

Brooks also designed an improved container for sorting garbage as well as a wheel drive for the automatic turning of the brushes and for powering a lifting mechanism for the scrapers. It's not known whether his design was produced and marketed. The patent number 556711 was issued on March 17tn, 1896. The motor-driven pickup street sweeper was later developed by John M. Murphy for the Elgin Sweeper Company, which first appeared in 1913.

【1】Why was much labor involved in street sweeping in Brooks' time?

A．Because manure needed clearing at times.

B．Because workers took it to support their families.

C．Because it was done by hand.

D．Because there was much ticket litter on the streets.

【2】How did the Brooks' street sweeper differ from those invented by Whitworth and Bishop?

A．It was pulled by a horse.

B．It offered more working opportunities.

C．It could do a timely cleanup of manure.

D．It was fixed to the front of a truck.

【3】What can be concluded from the passage?

A．The street sweeper kept being improved.

B．Brooks invented the first street sweeper.

C．Murphy patented his street sweeper in 1913.

D．Brooks profited from his new design.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Brooks according to the text?

A．Conservative.

B．Creative.

C．Cooperative.

D．Curious.

22、   Most of us celebrate our birthday with birthday cakes. We probably sing a song, play some fun games, and maybe even open a few presents. Have you ever wondered exactly why we do these things, though?【1】

Most scholars point to the Bible as the earliest known reference to a birthday celebration.【2】Rather than the day Pharaoh was born, however, the celebration was probably held to remember the day when Pharaoh became the King.

It wasn’t until the time of ancient Rome that birthdays were celebrated for common people.【3】Women’s birthdays weren’t celebrated until about the 12th century.

Our modern birthday celebrations with a party and cake didn't come around until the late 18th century in Germany. In fact, Germany is usually considered the birthplace of the modern birthday cake. 【4】After the Industrial Revolution, however, cakes were cheaper and more widely available.

If you’re curious about when we started singing “Happy Birthday to You”,that didn’t happen until the 1920s.【5】It was a song written in 1893 by two teachers, Patty and Mildred Hill, for children to sing in the mornings. In 1924, Robert Coleman published a songbook in which he included “Good Morning to All” but changed the lyrics (歌词) to what we now know as “Happy Birthday to You”. It’s now considered the most recognizable song in English.

A.It mentions Pharaoh's birthday.

B.What is the most common birthday?

C.The song got its start as “Good Morning to All.”

D.When did birthday celebrations begin anyway?

E.Even then, these celebrations were limited to men.

F.So we were born on this day a certain number of years ago.

G.Early on, birthday cakes were usually only available to the wealthy.

23、A 17-year-old pilot (飞行员) has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip on Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.

Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s License (许可证) in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.

His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel (燃料) container.

Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Calf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U. S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.

His sister, Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight.

On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.

【1】How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his flight around the world?

A．At the age of 16 years old.

B．At the age of 17 years old.

C．At the age of 15 years old.

D．At the age of 19 years old.

【2】Why was the plane changed before the flight?

A．To have a faster speed.

B．To have a lighter weight.

C．To have a longer flying time.

D．To have an extra seat.

【3】What were the feelings of Rutherford’s father when Rutherford was back on Wednesday?

A．Unbelievable and respectful.

B．Grateful and touched.

C．Sad and doubtful.

D．Happy and proud.

【4】Where is the text probably from?

24、   Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.

I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的)imbalance in you body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring what life is about.

As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin," Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."

Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.

【1】What does the writer mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1 ?

A.Teenage life is tough. B.Teenagers can't enjoy life.

C.Teenage life is changeable. D.Teenagers should learn more.

【2】What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?

A.The adolescent changes. B.The lack of life experience.

C.The failure of concentration. D.The unfamiliar surroundings.

【3】How did the writer feel about her teenage life?

A.It was difficult. B.It was simple.

C.It was enjoyable. D.It was boring.

【4】What does the writer advise teenagers to do?

A.Abandon their friends. B.Go and have fun.

C.Complete their homework. D.Shoulder the burden.

I was asked to ________ why I ran away from Jagdeesh, the young lady. After listening to me, Jagdeesh ________ . She told us that she was new to the neighborhood. On the way home, she was walking behind me when she heard footsteps following her and she decided to run when she saw me run.
