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、 The tropical islands of the Philippines have plenty of nice beaches where you can get that gold brown sun tan(口西黑),but there are only a few white sand or white coral beaches.
Pristine in Palawan
Palawan is the most popular destination for both tourists and locals of all ages and everybody comes for the white sand beaches. The beaches are long and wide and display the unique picture, where you can relax in a hammock(吊床)while having a fruity cocktail with the little umbrellas. What makes it striking is that you will also find plenty of dining opportunities along the beaches so that you won't starve.
Island of Barang in Dumaguete
This island has so many nice beaches where you will literally burn under the sun. You could practically walk around the whole island within a day on the beach alone. Once you travel from places such as Manila or Cebu, the biggest problem for those who would like to visit the Siquijor beaches and the island arises. The only way to Siquijor is via Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental, which fortunately has a domestic airport.
Bohols Treasures in Bohol
Bohol is not only famous for its Chocolate Hills, but it is one of the best places to go in the entire Visayas Region if you are looking for white sand beaches. While the beaches are so understated and Bohol is not crowded with tourists, the island of Bohol deserves its place.
White Sand in Boracay
While Palawan is something for families and people who love the peace of paradise, Boracay is the exact opposite. The appearance is still very similar with white sand beaches, but the lifestyle is all about parties. Boracay is mainly visited by young adults and students rather than families, making it distinguished from any other Philippine beach. Everything can be done in the beaches of Boracay and you can even sleep in the beaches after a night of partying.
【1】What is special about Pristine in Palawan?
A.It has the longest coastline.
B.It is ideal for taking pictures.

23、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How To Study English In China
English is obviously not the native language in China. Although many Chinese want to improve their English level to the amount needed in daily work, it’s very hard when only a few people speak English around them. 【1】 Here are a few tips that might help.
Join a school with native teachers to guide you.
【2】The more exposure you can get to these foreign teachers, the faster and better you’re going to learn English. If a school doesn’t give students maximum exposure to native English speakers’ classes, find one that does.
Read English daily.
This means using websites that are permitted in China, accessing English texts, newspapers and books. Read short stories in English. When you come across words you don’t know write them down immediately. 【3】
Find some English speakers.
Spend time with them and share conversations. There is nothing better for learning any language than finding native speakers of the language to practice with. When you speak, you are practicing every aspect of the language(except writing) in the most efficient way possible.
Memorize vocabulary.
Write new words in a notebook every week, with English definitions and a sample sentence, not a Chinese translation. 【4】 Carry it with you everywhere you go. Even if you have a question about something that you see and you don’t know the English word, write it down in your own language with the plan to look it up later and learn that word in English.
【5】English is not well controlled by grammar rules. For every rule, there is an exception to that rule. Your time will be better spent in watching movies and learning from them than studying grammar for long hours. Find someone to write emails in English to or write a dairy every day.
There are many other ways to improve your English. Come on!
A. Learn to write.
B. Watch an English film once a month.
C. What can you do to study more English?
D. There are many English speakers in China.
E. You can do this by writing in your notebook.
F. Follow a soap opera, comedy or radio program or TV drama.
G. You should be carrying a notebook with you everywhere you go just to write down something important.
24、Stargazers can visit famous dark-sky parks in the world and enjoy unpolluted views of night skies. Let's take a deeper dive into what you'll see at the dark-sky parks.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Joshua Tree National Park is a popular attraction for stargazers living on the west coast. Despite being influenced by light pollution on its western borders from Coachella Valley cities, its relative isolation from major cities in the east(with Phoenix being the closest city area some 300 miles away), provides it with some of the darkest skies in California.
Elqui Valley, Chile
A popular wine region centered on the Elqui River in northern Chile, the Elqui Valley also offers ideal conditions(high-altitude, low-population, limited cloud cover) for uncorking a bottle and toasting the heavens above. Spanning some 90,000 acres, the region has the distinction of being named the first-ever Dark Sky Sanctuary by the International Astronomical Union in 2015.
It's also home to nearly a dozen observatories, boutique stargazing hotels and a large variety of tours that cover both cosmic and daytime spectacles.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
One of Jordan's most valuable tourist destinations, Wadi Rum is an otherworldly mountain desert featuring dramatic rock formations and wind-swept rust-colored dunes. Wadi Rum is an incredible landscape too (used for a lot of sci-fi movies like Rogue One, Prometheus and The Martian) and it's one of the dark places where you can just sit and look up at the wonder of the night sky with very little interruption.
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, America
It's no surprise that Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve has been building a reputation for good night sky viewing. The dry air, high elevation, and lack of light pollution all make the park an ideal dark-sky destination.
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains block much of the sky glow coming from nearby cities, shrouding(遮蔽,笼罩)the park-with its 149,164 acres of dunes, wetlands, grasslands, forests and alpine tundra-in darkness.

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。
As the bell was about to ring, our teacher announced a special assignment for next Monday: to share our gratitude for someone instead of giving a daily report. Hearing this, anxiety crawled over my body as the last thing I would do was speaking in front of the entire class! I couldn’t help complaining to my best friend Jenny.
“You are the chief violinist in our school orchestra, aren’t you?” she said. “So what’s the point of being afraid of speaking to a few our own classmates since you can handle acting in front of a large audience?”
Her point made sense, but being in a performance meant being part of a team. I shook my head. Besides, there were so many people I was grateful to, and choosing just one seemed difficult. Even if I could pick someone, I wouldn’t know how to say thank you. And even if I figured out what to say, I was sure I’d stumble(结巴地说) on my words when speaking aloud! Standing there, with everyone’s eyes on me, I would feel the spot light was wholly on me, and there would be no place for me to hide! “Oh no!” I covered my face with my hands and said, “I can’t do it, just can’t!” Real friends, the ones who know you well, don’t just do exactly what you ask. Jenny, always supportive and helpful, wrote something on a piece of paper and gently removed my hands from my face. She had drawn a cute cat with the word “CALM” written below it.
“Nice meeting you; I am the ‘everything will be fine’ cat,” Jenny laughed and sounded exactly like a cat. Pretending to listen to the cat, she asked, “Well, kitty, you think my friend should come to my house tomorrow, so we can prepare our speeches together I laughed out loud and relaxed a lot. I have to say Jenny was there for me, always!”
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。
The next day, I went to Jenny’s house.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard.
