21、Our eating habits are very important for good health. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(胃口). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time every day. When we feel hungry, it is said that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.

A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) used to decide whether a person was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the person could swallow(吞咽) the bread, it was a sign that he was telling the truth. Though this seems rather strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man worrying about something has much difficulty in swallowing anything dry because he is worrying and he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

【1】It will be a good habit to eat ice-cream ______.

A．before the meal

B．after the meal

C．during the meal

D．at the regular time each day

【2】It is necessary and important for us to form the habit of having our meals ______.

A．at the regular time each day

B．at any time every day

C．when we finish our work and study

D．whenever the meal is ready

【3】According to the judges in old England, if a person was not telling a lie(撒谎), he could ______.

A．drink a great deal of water

B．hardly eat dry bread

C．swallow dry bread easily and quickly

D．eat nothing

【4】Usually a person who gets angry has ______.

A．a big appetite

B．a strong desire(渴望) to drink water

C．to drink some cold water

D．a poor appetite

22、I got married just after I graduated from college and found a job to support our family at the nearby Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT). It was in the laboratory of Prof. Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.

One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement. The MIT Instrumentation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to “send man to the moon”. Deeply attracted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before, I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.

At the beginning, nobody thought software was such a big deal. But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it. Our software needed to be very reliable and able to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.

My daughter, Lauren, liked to intimate me—playing astronaut. One day, she was with me when I was doing a simulation (模拟) of a mission to the moon. She started hitting keys and all of a sudden, she selected a program which was supposed to be run before launch. The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought: my God—this could happen by accident in a real mission. I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.

On the very next mission, Apollo 8, one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged. After that, they let me put the program change in. It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.

During the early days of Apollo, software was not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines (学科). It was out of desperation I came up with the term “software engineering”. Then one day in a meeting, one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline, just like with hardware. It was a memorable moment.

【1】What do we know about the author?

A．She created the term “software engineering”.

B．She is the first woman ever hired by MIT.

C．She taught Lauren to write software.

D．She got her master’s degree from MIT.

【2】“The Lauren bug” in Para.5 refers to ______.

A．a pet to accompany Lauren

B．a mistake causing data loss

C．a software ending prelaunch

D．a mission to land on the moon

【3】What greatly contributed to Apollo 11’s success according to the passage?

A．The in-time upload of data.

B．Astronauts’ rich experience.

C．Experts’ new attitude.

D．The program change.

【4】What can we learn from Margaret’s story?

A．Honesty is the best policy.

B．Two heads are better than one.

C．Chances favor the prepared mind.

D．A good beginning is half done.

23、   When you are having dinner, do you eat up all the food on your plate or have some leftover（剩菜剩饭）? According to the UN, 1. 3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world every year. That’s about one - third of all food produced each year.

We make a survey in 34 countries to see how much food is wasted in different countries. For example, the UAE（阿联酋） wastes the most food, with each person wasting about 1, 000 kilos every year on average. However, some countries have worked hard to use their food resources wisely. France wastes the least amount of food, according to the survey.

France was the first country to pass laws that stop food waste. It’s not allowed to throw away fresh food. Another law forces French restaurants to provide bags for people’s leftovers.

China ranked 23rd for food waste in the survey. China’s food waste is around 18 million tons every year, enough to feed up to 50 million people for one year. Facing this situation, China has been working hard to reduce food waste. Since early 2013, a movement to prevent food waste called “empty plate” has begun. It has become popular among both government officials and general public.

【1】How much food is produced every year around the world?

A．1, 000 kilograms.

D．1.3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world every year.

24、Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.

Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature.A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people.Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.

The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you’d like to be treated.This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship.Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.

Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships.It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.No one wants to have a broken friendship.

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 my double profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with a great many children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler, who was a lovely and optimistic kid.

Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing. Once in a while he and his mother made an appointment with doctors in the hospital. This cure was a big challenge for so young a body, but Tyler never showed that he was in great pain.

Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to bind hím playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler was surprised at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. It was hard to look on him as a patient. Tyler's mother often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she caught a glimpse of him through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly and easily spot him.

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。

This deadly disease eventually made the lovely Tyler dying.
