21、 Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P. M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!
【1】What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?
A. Giving names to the highways.
B. Drawing pictures of highways.
C. Picking up litter along the roads.
D. Putting up signs near the roads.
【2】What should the students do first if they want to join the program?
A. Pick a spot to care for.
B. Call Mrs. Lake next week.
C. Write a letter to their parents.
D. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.
【3】What is the purpose of this speech?
A. To encourage students to join the program.
B. To introduce the traffic system.
C. To show drivers how to drive safely.
D. To tell a story about adopting a pet.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Adopt-a-Pet

D. Volunteers on Roads
22、Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”
【1】Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age?
A.Because he could earn some pocket money.
B.Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C.Because his parents could help with his study.
D.Because he could get access to the Internet.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.A new online business model.
B.Results of working impatiently.
C.Difficulties in Andy’s career.
D.Andy’s tense family relationship.
【3】What does Andy think contributes to his success?
A.His early working experiences.
B.Lessons learned from his failures.
C.Gaining other people’s trust.
D.Focusing on the thing you choose.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality?
A.Committed and generous.
B.Motivated and persistent.
C.Creative and faithful.
D.Hard-working and sociable.
23、According to University World News, there are around 200 million students who are affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, great minds did not let the hours go for nothing. As online education was already familiar, chances of establishing the mainstream policy of conducting classes through online increased greatly.
A huge response from all over the world is seen. Many universities and schools started conducting their classes through Ding Talk TV, CCTalk or other conferencing portals (入口). It is known that this procedure will not last if situation becomes stable again as what is now going on is only a “Better than nothing” option, but the appeal and impact of “E-Learning” will definitely remain.
Undoubtedly the online education will make a huge impact on the lifestyle and time consumption of the people as life will become even faster and more comfortable than now. Also the transportation problem of the country will be solved as students will be able to conduct the classes from home. More precisely, wastage of time will be removed completely, which would help the students to become more concentrated and hardworking. Another major problem is the accommodation problem which will be settled completely as anybody can access the classes sitting in their own home.
However this E-Learning method may result in some possible problems in future. Even for the time being, though the credit (学分) hours are counted and the students are graded on the basis of online exams, some courses and subjects should be left out for later to be conducted physically. For example, subjects which do not require practical experiments or are computer related, such as literature, history, law, computer science, mathematics, etc. are completely okay to be conducted in both the classroom and E-Learning. Whereas, chemistry, biology, agricultural science, all the medical departments, etc. or in short, whatever the course is, if that requires practical application, practice and fieldwork, shouldn’t be conducted in the virtual class.
Therefore, all the courses which require lab work or practical application, should be separated and designed as a “Lab Year” and conducted those classes physically when situation becomes normal. Even some of the theoretical courses, such as law, journalism, should have a few courses conducted later for the students’ own benefit in future. In other words, there should be a balanced way of handling the situation.
【1】According to the passage, E-Learning is very likely to ________.
A.settle the transportation problem
B.help students find a house to live in
C.cause students to waste more time
D.make people’s life less comfortable
【2】Which of the following might be the possible problem of online education?
A.Students can’t be graded fairly based on online exams.
B.Some courses requiring practice can’t be conducted physically.
C.Computer Science and history have to be conducted online.
D.Some subjects should be left out for later to be conducted online.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Online education will replace the traditional one.
B.The effects of “E-Learning” exist for the time being.
C.The theoretical courses needn’t be conducted physically.
D.Traditional Education will still have a place in the future.
【4】What might be the best title of the passage?
A.Online Education: Impact and Practice
B.Online Education: Benefits and Problems
C.Online Education: Problems and Solutions
D.Online Education: Opportunity and Possibility

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
The Lesson in Design
It was Friday afternoon. On the way home from school, Andy studied the fabrics(面料)and colors of the other students’ clothes. Everyone wore the same basic outfit-jeans and some sort of shirt. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing attractive or stylish. Being from a family of tailors(裁缝), Andy had learned how to make and change clothes over years. But he wanted to be more than just a tailor.
When Andy arrived at his father’s tailor shop, he watched his father-pins(大头针)in his mouth, measuring tape hanged around his neck—expertly repair pants. Andy’s father always said, “Often, when people look better, they act better too.” That was exactly the reason why Andy longed to create something of his own, something different, something exceptional.
“Andy, there’s something I want to give you.” Andy’s father peered over his eyeglasses and asked Andy to follow him to the back room. On the corner of a large worktable sat a heavy sewing machine(缝纫机), an old model that looked very different from the modern one Andy’s father used. “I was your age when my father gave this to me, and now I’m giving it to you.” Andy eyed the old machine appreciatively. “Thank you, Dad. This is perfect!”
Andy wanted to use the sewing machine right away to realize his dream-an outstanding outfit. First he drew a design that was stylish yet original and then he paid a visit to the fabric store to select the perfect fabrics for his creation. Andy began working that same night, losing himself in lines and folds, ripping out stitches(缝线)and redoing them. It took over a week, but after multiple fittings and adjustments, his outfit was ready for its first appearance.
注意∶1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
