21、 Gertrude was just an average kid with an average life. She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood. At home, she helped out just enough to get by. At school, she did just enough homework to stay out of trouble. She had straight Cs in all of her classes.
One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class. “Gertrude,” he said, “I know that you can do better. I’ve seen the work you do in class, and some of it is amazing... Way better than C work.” Gertrude knew that there were moments when she tried a little harder than what everyone expected. But she just didn’t have confidence in herself. She didn’t really believe that she could change; in fact, she was scared by the thought of having the power to become whatever she wanted. She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through his speech and just nodded her head until he stopped.
That night, Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the future and she was still living with her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke in the dream: “The present is nothing more than the outcome of the choices made in the past. The future will be the results of the choices we make today.” Gertrude started crying average sized tears, because she knew that she helped shape the world in which she lived. She woke up with her pillow wet.
Gertrude was relieved (释然的) to be back in middle school. She took a little more care in getting herself ready that morning, and she felt better than normal. She tried harder in school, and she felt smarter than usual. She helped more around the house, and it looked better. Sure, there were still lots of things that Gertrude struggled with, but just trying her best made her feel better when she didn’t succeed. Gertrude even became great at failing by learning from her mistakes.
【1】What can we learn about Gertrude from Paragraph 1?
A.She is popular. B.She is generous.
C.She is ordinary. D.She is enthusiastic.
【2】Where did Gertrude’s problem actually lie?
A.In her family. B.In her studies.
C.In her teacher. D.In herself.
【3】What can we say for sure about Gertrude from the last paragraph?
A.She changed greatly. B.She suffered more.
C.She failed in her attempts. D.She was glad about failures.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

C.Try to be yourself. D.Teachers are important in your life.
22、A Brief History Of Waterstone’s
Waterstone’s is the largest bookstore chain in the UK and Ireland, with 296 stores and 4500 employees, but its market share has recently declined and sales have been poor. The book market suffered during the economy declines and the emergence of new e-readers, such as the Amazon Kindle, was pulling more customers away from the high street. A&NN will pay for Waterstone’s in two parts, one of £40million and one of £13million.The deal will only complete if HMV can renegotiate its bank facilities, though HMV says the banks are supportive of the sale. Pension trustees and the pensions regulator also have to approve. HMV chief executive Simon Fox said A&NN would be a good home for Waterstone’s, while the sale will reduce borrowings and enable HMV to focus on plans for transforming the business into a broad-based entertainment business. A&NN will appoint James Daunt as managing director of Waterstone’s once the deal completes. Mr. Daunt currently runs Daunt Books, a small chain of London-based bookshops he founded in 1990. | |
Waterstone’s founder Tim Waterstone opened his first store in 1982 at a time when fellow book-lovers were presented with few options on the high street. The top bookseller was WH Smith, Mr. Waterstone’s former employer of eight years before he was dismissed, which he felt was failing to go into a broad market of literature fans. The first store was opened in Old Brompton Road, and the former banker’s intuition was correct as the chain went from strength to strength. Mr. Waterstone, who has written four novels, saw a recovery in the market driven by demand for the works of a new wave of literary stars including Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, John Banville and Martin Amis. Having founded the firm with his £6,000, Mr. Waterstone sold the chain to his former employer WH Smith in 1993 for £47million. |
【1】According to the passage, who is the most likely to be the managing director of Waterstone’s in the near future?
A.Mr. Waterstone B.John Banville
C.James Daunt D.Simon Fox
【2】What does the word “intuition” mean in the passage?
A.instinctive knowledge B.mental image
C.calm consideration D.indirect suggestion
【3】Which one of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.At present the brand Waterstone’s belongs to HMV.
B.During the economy declines, the book market was hit and sales were poor.
C.Waterstone’s has long been the largest bookstore chain in the U.K and Ireland.
D.Mr. Waterstone made £41,000 when he transferred the chain to WH Smith.

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。
Time was literally flying faster than you could blink. It was already dark. Poor George still scratched every inch of his head for some spark of inspiration. Their teacher had asked every student to write a composition. The title was An Unforgettable Weekend. A both interesting and boring topic.
Just as George was wrestling with his composition, there came a knock on the door. It was Eric,his father.“George, since tomorrow is Saturday, we will go and see your grandparents!“ he beamed.“Williams and Jenny? I really miss them!” George jumped with joy, dumping his pen on the desk.After all, George hadn’t been reunited with his grandparents since the outbreak of Covid- 19 in 2020.
Early next morning they began their long journey. George’s grandparents lived in a remote countryside. As Eric was driving, George couldn’t help recalling his past experience staying in his grandparents’. The memories of dusty tracks, some shabby houses and the smelly river still hurt painfully.“Dad, was your hometown beautiful when you lived there?“ George asked curiously.“You bet it! Our life wasn’t good, but the scenery was definitely like a picture,”Eric responded with noticeable pride. But what George worried about was that instead of having an unforgettable day, he would be greeted with unforgettable gray, He had been deeply scared by the smog there.
With a soft brake, the car stopped, pulling George from the edge of a sweet daydream.“Here we are! Home, sweet home!” Eric said, bouncing out, happy as a kid. Out of the car, what George saw was really unforgettable. The old and small house had been replaced by a new and big one, solid and strong. Just as George was wondering what happened, the door opened and his grandparents strode out, wearing big smiles. Approaching George, Williams gave him a tight embrace. Jenny talked eagerly with Eric. Inside the house, they provided updates on each other.
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。
Lunch over, Williams took George to pick strawberries in the field.
