21、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

My daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，“Girls rule，boys drool．” But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．

This has been challenging for me at times．“Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能) ．

On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she’d need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．

And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared． My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated(主宰) that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．

I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered（克服） that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before．

All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．

Shine on，sweet baby．

22、Elena Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never minding that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway— and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto, wound up injuring herself.

The efforts of Professor Carol Leone   from the   Southern Methodist University (SMU) are changing all that: twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to introduce smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.

Yi, 21, tried one of the smaller keyboards, “I remember being really excited, because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes,” she said.

For decades, few questioned the size of the traditional piano. For those with small hand spans (掌距), it’s difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms. Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of musicians, she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span, and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.

The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists. Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.

Though such resistance is fading, there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing. Leone said, “This is art, not sport. It’s about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that.”

【1】Why did Elena Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concerto so well?

A．Her fingers got injured.

B．It was time-consuming.

C．Her hand spans were small.

D．The traditional piano was out of tune.

【2】What is paragraph 4 intended to do?

A．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

B．Add some background information.

C．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

D．Provide some advice for pianists.

【3】What is the Viennese professor’s attitude towards smaller keyboards?

A．Disapproving.

B．Objective.

C．Unclear.

D．Positive.

23、The Slow Food Movement started in Rome, Italy in 1986. When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place, some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not want fast food. We want slow food!”

【1】 One day Carl went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal. But the food didn‘t taste the same as he remembered. He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low. This deeply concerned Carlo.

Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods made their culture special. So he started a group to encourage this idea. It soon became the Slow Food Movement. 【2】

First, what is good food? Good food is fresh. The vegetables are eaten close to the place where they are grown. The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten. Good food is seasonable. 【3】 Good food satisfies the senses. It should look good, smell good and taste good. And finally, good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.

Second, food should be clean. Today, there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food. Farmers use chemicals to kill insects and feed plants. But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.【4】Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.

And third, the price of food should be fair. 【5】 All people should be able to purchase healthy food. The people who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work. They should work in safe, healthy conditions.

A．Food should not cost too much money.

B．Its goal about food is divided into 3 parts: good, clean and fair.

C．Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.

D．That was how the Slow Food Movement came into being.

E．It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.

F．Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.

G．This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.

24、Green: More than just a color

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. 【1】

Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. 【2】

A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.

The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. 【3】 The Green revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.

【4】 The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello.

In most places in the world, a green light is a sign to move ahead. 【5】 In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project. We want you to know we have a green light to continue this series next week.

C．Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy (忌妒).
