21、   For many years, I knew I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles, where I earned a degree in video production. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked at important positions. I was young and ambitious working in the field I'd dreamed of for years.

One day, while assisting as a volunteer at an award show, one of the production managers remarked that I was going to be a “powerhouse”. I knew I wanted to be happy and enjoy whatever work I did, but I wasn't sure I wanted to be a "powerhouse”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. It sent me back home to Florida to think about my next career move.

In Florida, I landed a job working the night shift at a financial institution. The pay was good, but a few months later my creative spirit sent an S. O. S. to my brain, signaling I wasn't making the best use of my talents. I didn't have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I also couldn't stay in an unfulfilling（不称心的） job.

I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I made the commitment to author a children's book. My goal didn't end there, however. I was also determined to get the book published.

Once I completed my manuscript （手稿），I decided it would be best if it were a picture storybook. It was not easy for me to get the book published and yet I continued sending out my work. It took somewhere between three and four years to finally attract the interest of a publisher. I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands.

I found a happy place within and a new realization. I may not have become a powerhouse, but I did accomplish a goal. Success found within is how you define it, how you live it and always have something to strive for, not fear.

【1】What used to be the author's goal in life?

A.To be a music video director. B.To be a powerhouse.

C.To be a financial expert. D.To be a famous book writer.

【2】What was the author's attitude towards her first job?

A.Indifferent. B.Satisfied. C.Disappointed. D.Puzzled.

【3】What did the author do when she got back to Florida?

A.Define her goal in life.

B.Move back to her home.

C.Make a change in her career.

D.Find someone appreciating her talent

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A.Try different lifestyles.

B.Find our own strength.

C.Be brave to struggle for something.

D.Stick to the first goal in our life.

22、Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a name that every lover of English literature will always remember and cherish. He is the pen father of the extraordinary detective Sherlock Holmes and a number of detective stories.

Arthur chose to go to medical field and become a surgeon from the University of Edinburgh, and this is the place where Arthur met a person who influenced him to become a writer. It was one of his teachers Dr. Joseph Bell who was master at observation, logic, detection and diagnosis. All these qualities were later found in the character of the celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes.

1888 was a significant year that rocketed Doyle to fame with his novel which was named as ‘A Study in Scarlet’ in which he introduced his two immortal characters—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story ‘The Sign of Four’ was instrumental in establishing Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle in literature.

The writer tried to open a practice in Paris but not a single patient came to him, which proved to be a blessing in disguise. It gave him a lot of time to think. And it was here that he met an illustrator named Sydney Paget who created the image of Sherlock Holmes which captured the minds of the readers and made the detective famous all over.

Doyle’s next creation was the delightfully violent Professor Challenger. ‘The Lost World’ which involved Professor Challenger was an immediate success.

Finally, because of his wife’s illness, Doyle decided to devote his life to his previous work rather than writing. This was the time when he decided to end the stories of Sherlock Holmes, which he did in ‘The Final Problem’.

The great Arthur Conan Doyle died at the age of 71 in 1930. He has left a legacy (遗产) to last us a lifetime and is still alive through his books and stories.

【1】What was Conan Doyle’s job in his early years?

A．A writer.

B．A doctor.

C．A detective.

D．A professor.

【2】How did Dr. Joseph Bell influence Conan Doyle?

24、“Your skin’s a bit dry,” one user commented on a video posted by Angie, a popular influencer who first appeared on Chinese social media last fall. “You should apply a face mask.” In the video, uploaded to Douyin, Angie’s skin looks not smooth. A yawn shows slightly crooked teeth.

Typical influencers might respond back with a comment, but Angie is not a typical influencer—she’s not even a real person. Unlike China’s other virtual influencers, Angie doesn’t pose in designer clothes or promote new songs. Instead, she wears simple white tees, drinks Coca-Cola and yawns on screen. Sometimes she can be seen with zits. And her down-to-earth image clearly relates to people on Douyin, where she has attracted over 280,000 followers to date.

Virtual influencers are nothing new in China. The country’s first digital personality Ling was created in 2020. With her sharp jawline, thin face and rosy lips, Ling reflects a traditional Chinese beauty ideal. But Angie offers a refreshing alternative in a country where demand for plastic surgery is increasing and beauty apps compete to create filters that show users more beautiful versions of themselves.

Angie is the creation of Jesse Zhang, director of a Shenzhen-based CGI animation company. Zhang thought it would be fun to create a virtual character with imperfect features who could help people relax and feel more positive about themselves. Angie started taking shape in 2020, and within three months Zhang had posted his character’s first video to Dyinbe December, she had already gained around 100,000 fans. “I didn’t think she would take off so quickly,” he said, attributing her popularity to her calming, casual videos.

Some fans have credited Angie with cheering them up or helping them reduce life’s pressure. Angie, last time I left you a message saying I was feeling really sad. Now, I’m doing much better,” The follower said they were preparing for the upcoming semester, and that they would try to work hard in school. “Keep pressing on,” Angie wrote in response, adding that sad moments will become things of the past.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply?

A．Angie is facially damaged.

B．Angie is not beautiful enough.

C．People don’t like Angie.

D．Angie doesn’t have the face of a celebrity.

【2】What is the major difference between Ling and Angie?

A．The image they have.

B．The app they use.

C．The social media where they appear.

D．The way they were created.

【3】Why did Zhang create Angie?

A．For fame.

B．For money.

C．For work.

D．For entertainment.

【4】What can be learned from this passage?

A．Virtual influencers are quite new and strange in China.

B．Zhang predicted Angie would succeed on the social media overnight.

C．This imperfect virtual influencer is challenging beauty standards in China.

D．Angie’s popularity results from her humorous and easygoing character.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Every Christmas, people in shopping malls, grocery stores and on street corners collect donations for the Salvation Army’s programs for those in need. And bell-ringers are volunteers helping collect donations. That probably doesn’t seem like a big deal to most people, but I find it difficult - in fact, ridiculously hard - to ask people for anything, even though I quite enjoy helping others when they need a hand.

My friends will tell you I’m outgoing, independent, even adventurous. Yet, when I’m sick I’d rather stagger out of the door half-dead to buy some chicken soup than ask a friend or neighbor for help. When I sign up for a run to raise money for cancer, I donate the cash myself rather than asking others. The thought of asking a friend for a ride to the airport is way too stressful, even though I know the answer would be yes.

So, I decided one Christmas I would take a baby step in learning to ask. I’d do a few shifts (轮班) as a “bell-ringer” to see how it felt to ask perfect strangers to give.

I arrived early and tried to calm my nerves as I approached the man standing by the donation box. For weeks, I had prepared myself for this. I put the instruction sheet on my refrigerator and re-read it many times. But I could not have felt worse as I slipped on the Salvation Army vest (背心) and took my spot beside the donation box.

The man who had been a volunteer for a decade gave me some tips before he left. I thanked him and consciously tried to follow the tips. Stand (don’t sit), smile, make eye contact, and don’t ring the bell too loud or too often.

It felt awkward at first. My location on the second floor of shopping mall wasn’t a busy spot, so I tried to smile and catch the eyes of every passerby. Most quickly glanced away. I worried I was making them feel guilty. I didn’t like that at all.
