21、During my years teaching communication courses at East Carolina University and College of Charleston, I got to hear many incredible true-life stories through students' presentations. Stories that stick out in my mind include a young man's sharing his experience of being falsely diagnosed with a fatal illness, another who failed repeatedly to try out for the baseball team before getting into a game he enjoys much more - golf, and so on. So many unforgettable stories; so much wisdom.

But one story really stands out in my mind to illustrate our incredible power. Here's what happened to this young girl, Suzy.

One Christmas Suzy had her heart set on getting a new Barbie. But not just any Barbie, it was one where she could cut her hair. At least the doll came with scissors. It was the last gift that little seven-year-old Suzy opened, and she felt pure delight. Barbie's hair went from hip length, to waist length, to long layers to irregular, to shoulder length, to pixie (小精灵) short... finally ending with a total buzz cut (圆寸).

Everything's ready and the logical thing to do next was of course for Suzy to cut her own hair. She cut layers and more layers and couldn't wait to show her parents and class.

Little Suzy had a hard time understanding why her mother wanted to take her to a beauty salon to “fix” her hair style. But Suzy firmly believed everyone at school would be so envious of her design concept and skill. Her friends would turn green with envy. Absolutely, her complete and unquestioned confidence in her appearance caused other people to see her beauty.

That story was told 12 years after the fact and Suzy still has pictures of that haircut. She would never cut her hair again, but she cherishes that memory of boundless self-value.

Confidence is like a muscle that you exercise. You decide to be more confident, to choose the positive performance, to take care of yourself, and the feeling of confidence comes to you after that. We all have had that level of confidence at times, but where is it when you need it?

【1】What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the author's background.

B．To tell some incredible stories.

C．To summarize the main idea of the article.

D．To pave the way for the following.

【2】The reason why Suzy wants the Barbie is that

A．she will make a comparison

B．she would like to practice hair cutting

C．she feel like showing off her collection

D．she wants to give her classmates a surprise

【3】Which of the following words best describes Suzy?

A．Determined.

B．Absurd.

C．Sympathetic.

D．Aggressive.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Lifelong Wisdom

B．Confident Scissors

C．Unforgettable Stories

D．Barbie's Encouragement

22、Peanuts are among the most popular snack foods in the United States. Millions of American children are raised on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. PB&Js, as we like to call them, are found in children’s lunchboxes around the country. Or at least they used to be.

Now, many school officials ban peanuts or any products containing peanuts from school property. About 2 percent of U.S. schoolchildren will have an allergic reaction to peanuts. And that number is growing.

People allergic to peanuts can develop skin conditions or watery eyes. Children with a peanut allergy can develop a skin condition called eczema.

Some reactions are so severe they can result in death. So far, doctors have advised parents against serving peanut-containing foods to children under the age of 3. But a 2015 British study found that waiting too long most likely is partly to blame for the peanut allergy problem.

Anthony Fauci is head of America’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Fauci spoke to VOA on Skype. He notes that m Israel, people have a tradition of feeding peanuts to babies.

He says a team of experts have agreed on new guidance for U.S. pediatricians who specialize in children’s allergies.

Fauci calls giving children peanuts a way of “challenging” their bodies. He thinks it could be done safely with some boys and girls, but not with others.

【1】Which statement is true according to the passage?

A．American doctors see peanuts as a common food.

B．Peanuts have an important position in American life.

C．A number of children refuse the peanut foods.

D．Leaders and children have been allergic to peanuts.

【2】People allergic to peanuts will avoid suffering from ________.

A．Skin conditions.

B．Water eyes.

C．Fever.

D．Eczema.

【3】What does Fauci agree with?

B．Scientists discover the truth behind the problem.

C．Children’s physical adaptation to peanuts is different.

D．Schoolchildren should be persuaded to like peanuts.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To put a humorous food advertisement.

B．To search the special value of plants.

C．To review a new scientific article.

D．To guide people to care for their health.

23、Every driver is familiar with the horrible blind spot problem. However, it is more than just an annoyance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 840,000 car accidents occur due to the blind spot. Those zones which cannot be directly observed by the driver often causes incidents that result in serious property damage and in some cases even death.

While drivers can take precautions such as adjusting the driver's seat and side mirrors properly, installing backup cameras and so on, they won't remove the invisible spots completely. Therefore, the driver will always have to carry the responsibility of being constantly aware of blind spots because failing to do that can lead to accidents.

Luckily, now there's a solution to that and it comes from a 14-year-old girl, who doesn't even have a driver's license yet. However, not being able to drive didn't prevent Alaina Gassier from understanding the important issue of traffic accidents resulting from blind spots. In fact, she knows the problem so well that she actually solved it for us. And the way she did it is nothing but genius.

Her project is called "Improving Automobile Safety by Removing Blind Spots'* and work in a relatively simple way as she explained: "I did that by having a camera behind the A — pillar of a car and the camera sent the video to a projector that projected (投射)the image onto the pillar essentially making it invisible and making the driver see behind it."

To complete this invention, she used easily attainable materials such as a webcam, projector, and 3D-printed materials that project the view from outside your vehicle onto the blind spots of your car.

Gassier was awarded for her life-saving invention. It earned her the top place in a nationwide competition for middle schoolers with the $25,000 Samueli Foundation Prize in honor of overall STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) excellence.

【1】Why is the blind spot problem more than an annoyance?

A．It is familiar to every driver.

B．It cannot be seen by drivers.

C．It may cause serious accidents.

D．It is often overlooked by drivers.

【2】What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Adjusting the driver's seat.

B．Being constantly aware of blind spots.

C．Adjusting side mirrors.

D．Installing backup cameras.

【3】Which of the following statement is wrong?

A．Gassier is a student, who can't drive.

B．Gassier is talented enough to make the invention.

C．Gassier uses easily-accessible materials in her invention.

D．Gassier won first place in an international competition.

【4】What can be the best title for this passage?

A．A Great Invention from A Young Driver

B．Improving Vehicle Sale by Removing Blind Spots

C．A Girl's Way to Solve the Blind Spot Problem in Cars

D．A New Generation of Cars without the Blind Spot Problem

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。

Wednesday morning came. Anne got up at sunrise because she was too excited to sleep. She planned to make a cake for Mrs Allan, the best teacher she had ever met, who was invited over for a tea party. When she finally shut the oven door, she took a long breath.

“I'm sure I haven't forgotten anything this time, Marilla . But do you think it will rise? What if that cake doesn't rise?”

“We'll have plenty without it,”was Marilla’s uninterested way of looking at the subject .

The cake did rise, however, and came out of the oven looking perfect. Anne was red-faced with delight and, in imagination, saw Mrs Allan eating it and possibly asking for another piece!

Mrs Allan arrived and they all enjoyed a lovely tea. Everything went well until Anne's cake was passed. Mrs Allan, having already been helped to a lot of desserts, declined it. But Marilla, seeing the disappointment on Anne's face, said smilingly:“Oh, you must take a piece, Mrs Allan. Anne made it specially for you, expecting that you would love it.”

“In that case I must try it,”laughed Mrs Allan. She took a mouthful and a strange expression crossed her face; not a word did she say, however, but continued eating. Marilla saw this and hastened (急忙) to taste the cake. “Anne Shirley!” she shouted, “what on earth did you put into that cake? What flavoring did you use?” “Vanilla (香草精)，only vanilla.”said Anne.

“Go and bring me the bottle of vanilla you used.”

Anne returned with a small bottle and Marilla took it and smelled it.

“Mercy on us, Anne, you've flavored that cake with ANODYNE LINIMENT (镇痛剂). Why couldn't you have smelled it?”

Ashamed of her mistake, Anne burst into tears and fled to her room.
