21、   Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth-grader, who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.

Most kids have been teased by a brother or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop.

Bullying is intentional tormenting in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumors about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to tease others or hurt their feelings.

It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.

Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim — someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way — to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.

Sometimes kids torment others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names. Some popular TV shows even seem to promote meanness — people are “voted off", ignored, or ridiculed for their appearance or lack of talent.

Unless your child tells you about bullying — or has visible injuries — it can be difficult to figure out if it's happening.

【1】What is the author's purpose of telling Seth's story?

A.To introduce the topic. B.To raise public concern.

C.To analyse the cause. D.To display harmful effects.

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “brush it off" in paragraph 4?

A.Removing bullying. B.Ignoring bullying.

C.Avoiding bullying. D.Stressing bullying.

【3】Which of the following can be the reason for kids bullying?

A.Bullies feel guilty for their bullying behavior in their hearts.

B.Bullies want to dominate everyone physically and mentally.

C.Bullies have taken the behavior from their original families.

D.Bullies are obviously controlled by some popular TV shows.

【4】What is predicted to convey in the following session of the passage?

A.Signs of bullying. B.Advice for kids.

C.Problems of bullying. D.Advice for society.

22、A recent story on TikTok showed how two neighbors found companionship during the lockdown because of the pandemic (疫情), thanks to a shared love of the piano.

The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbor playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo Porto, an Italian living in London, decided to reach out to his neighbor and left a note asking him or her to play My Heart Will Go On. The mystery neighbor agreed, leading Lo Porto to send another note suggesting they play a duet (二重奏) together from the comfort of their own homes. The mystery neighbor started playing the piano at 2:00 pm, and when he stopped after finishing a part of a song, Lo Porto continued. Over time the duets between the two complete strangers became a regular weekend appointment.

Weeks later, the pair finally met and it was better than expected. The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil, who was living in temporary accommodation until his house was sold. He lost his wife in December due to COVID-19 and all he had left was the piano. And the reason why he played at 2: 00 pm every weekend was that he and his wife used to do that.

The pair finished a final duet together — Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata — before Emil moved out at the end of February.

While this is heartwarming in itself, the story has a heartbreaking ending: On March 14, Lo Porto shared that his old neighbor had passed away in his sleep. He said, “Now he is reunited with his wife.”

While saying goodbye to Emil, Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Emil, I knew very little about you, but you changed my life. You gave me back my passion, and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ve been mine, too. Bye, Emil.”

【2】Why did Emil play the piano at a special time?

D．To comfort strangers.

【3】What is the sad part of the story in the author’s opinion?

A．Emil's passing away.

B．Lo Porto’s departure.

23、   American Grace Brown is keeping busy during her first year of high school. She studies all the required subjects, such as English, history and mathematics, as well as taking classes in Latin. She also sings in a music group and plays the piano. The school day lasts from about eight o’clock in the morning to three in the afternoon. But because of her many activities, she has no time for a class in physical education, or PE.

So Grace is getting school credit for virtual PE. She wears a fitness tracker called Fitbit that the high school provided. She wears the Fitbit on her arm while doing exercises lasting 30 minutes or longer three times a week. Her computer has a software program that records her activity which she can present for credit.

A PE teacher may not be guiding the Fitbit-wearing students in person. But teachers do lead students’ work by setting goals such as fat burn, using the technology as their eyes and ears. “We certainly exercise more in online PE,” Brown said. “There’s a lot of standing around in regular PE. Online, I do much harder workouts.”

Grace’s mother, Rhonda Brown, remembers how hard PE class and softball games were for her because of blindness in one eye. She would like to see Fairfax County give students permission to avoid PE if they play school sports.

“We’re so stuck in the traditional classroom setting. These kids are burning 2,000 calories (卡路里) during a practice and more at every game.” Rhonda said. “I wish the schools would catch up with the times.”

It is not clear how many schools are supporting the trend. Technology and the collection of any student data always raise the problem of student privacy concerns. “There is a difference between physical activity and physical education,” said Chris Hersl. Physical activity is great for the body. We want everybody to move, but physical education is a class where students are taught how to move their body and the social context in which to do that.”

【1】Why does Grace take virtual PE?

A.She is busy with school activities.

B.She prefers something new.

C.She has interest in wearable technology.

D.She loves being tracked while doing PE.

【2】What do PE teachers do while their students are doing virtual PE?

A.Provide some guidance in the flesh.

B.Help students get good personal exercise.

C.Teach students how to wear a fitness tracker.

D.Monitor students with technology all day.

【3】Why did Rhonda always avoid playing games at school?

A.She couldn’t catch up with the times.

B.She was often stuck in traditional exercise.

C.She couldn’t burn 2,000 calories per game.

D.She was blind in one of her eyes.

【4】What does Chris stress in his words?

A.Wearable technology threatens students’ privacy.

B.Physical activities need students’ teamwork.

C.PE is also about students’ social connection.

D.Online PE collects a lot of students’ data.

24、Eleven-year-old Allan Baltz of Jonesboro, Arkansas, is familiar with the foster (领养) care system. When he and his twin sister Alice were only four, they came to live with their foster parents Derek and Lesli Baltz.

Last fall when Allan got an opportunity to pay it forward, he made it count.

During the height of the 2021 shutdown, to keep their kids entertained at home, the family decided to switch up their hairstyles. Lesli dyed her hair red and Alice went blue. Derek tried out a mustache, and Allan went the craziest by growing out a long, beautiful mullet (胭脂鱼发型).

When friends pushed Allan to enter the USA Mullet Championships competition, Allan initially wasn’t interested because he thought he couldn’t win. However, once he learned there was a cash prize, he changed his tune.

“He instantly was like ‘Oh, OK. I can do it, and we’ll give the money to kids in foster care.” Lesli said. “He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t say, ‘I can get a bike, then give some money away.’ It was just instant that he wanted to give it away.”

After submitting his photo and following up with several weeks of campaigning, Allan took home the top prize in the kid’s division with more than 25, 000 votes in his favor.

He split his winnings between two local foster care organizations, Together We Foster and Project Zero, but his impact went far beyond just the $2,500 he donated. His giving heart inspired others to do the same, and he ended up raising an additional $4,500 for the two organizations.

“People also started volunteering … and donating,” Lesli said. “A few people that we know decided to start fostering because of Allan’s story. The way that people hear it and it inspires them to do something about the foster care crisis is really incredible.” Lesli said she couldn’t be prouder of Allan’s heart for helping others and feels truly lucky to be his mom.

【1】What do the underlined words “pay it forward” mean in paragraph 2?

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。

In December 2020, Flores Gonzalez had her 4-year-olds, Luna and Gianella, tie their lists to two balloons and release them into the sky above their home in Liberal, Kansas. It was their way of reaching Santa Claus.

Flores Gonzalez thought it was important to do something special for her daughters because of the hard year they had during the pandemic (大流行病). The schools were shut down and she was out of work for more than two months. Everyone seemed to be in low spirits. She wanted to cheer the family up and wanted the girls to feel that 2020 was another year spent with mom making beautiful memories. It was never with the purpose that someone would find the balloons. She thought the balloons would just float away and disappear somewhere in a tree nearby.

But one of the balloons did make it to Alvin Bamburg, who was deer hunting in Grand Cane, Louisiana, in late December when he spotted a balloon tangled (纠缠) in a tree. He told himself he needed to get the trash out of the woods. However, when he got it, he noticed a folded yellow piece of paper sealed with a red star and it was a Christmas list from a girl named Luna. She had asked Santa to bring her candy, a Spider Man ball, a Frozen doll and a dachshund (腊肠狗) puppy, which was her most desired present.

The holidays kept Alvin Bamburg and his wife busy. They had family reunions and organized several charity parties to help whoever needed help but they didn’t forget about the list. In early January, Bamburg shared his discovery with family and friends on Facebook. “I would love to know when it was launched. It looks like it travelled 600 miles,” he wrote.

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。

So many people shared the post that it eventually reached Flores Gonzalez.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After months of communication, it was time for the Bamburgs to give them one last present.
