21、It’s difficult to hope sometimes but there are still a few instances telling us that something better awaits us whether we choose to hold on to it or not. Annie, a 19-year-oldblack Labrador, was given around a month to live when she was placed for adoption in June 2022. Annie’s former owner had given up hope and sent her to a shelter house in Texas because she wouldn’t eat or drink.

Once Siler, 31, discovered Annie’s photo, she knew she had to help. Instead of a month or two, Annie was adopted by Siler and her roommate, Lisa, for an entire year. Siler knew what it took to care for an elderly dog because she had recently lost her own dog, whom she had since college. Siler shared, “I felt mentally and emotionally prepared to take on a dog that wasn’t going to have long.” Siler described Annie as an easygoing dog. Her favorite pastimes included opening mail and sitting outside, watching people and cars pass by, earning her the nickname “nosy neighbour.”

“People kept telling us she was having so much fun and enjoying life and that kept her going, and I hope that was the case. Annie lived almost exactly a year after being adopted by Siler and Lisa. Annie had the life we pray every senior dog we rescue gets to experience. Annie didn’t just live out this past year, she flowered. Annie had an ill stomach. Surgical operation was her only option and that was never something we would put Annie through. Collectively, we made the hardest decision for us but kindest for Annie.” Siler kept in her diary.

“I can’t help but think that Annie would be so proud. She was one special dog whose story will live on through those who adopt seniors. She left a giant, giant hole in my heart…but times, where everyone who loved her can come together in her honor,will help start mending my broken heart.” Siler wrote in her post.

【1】Why was Annie placed for adoption in June 2022?

B．Because her owner had given up hope for her refusal to eat or drink.

B．Siler’s roommate insisted on adopting a dog.

22、An unwanted TV can feel like a burden to you, especially if it’s an old-style TV set. Yet there are a few ways to dispose of it, depending largely on your TV’s condition. If your TV still works, the best option may be to sell or donate it. If it doesn’t work or if you have difficulty finding someone who wants it, you still have other environmentally friendly options.

Like many electronic products, TVs contain a variety of harmful materials like plastic and heavy metals, which can cause pollution if not dealt with properly. In some US states, TVs are banned from landfills entirely. Even if you face no legal consequences for throwing a TV into the trash, however, there are also practical and ethical (道德的) reasons why recycling is a better decision.

TVs may be recyclable, but that doesn’t mean they can go in your recycling dustbin. It is a good idea to check if your local recycling or waste-management authority accepts e-waste in some form, like special pickup days; just don’t expect it to be quite as easy as putting out your weekly paper and plastic to recycle.

When TVs arrive at a recycling center, they’re often checked to see if they can be repaired and reused, since that’s better than breaking them down for recycling. If not, they’re separated into major components like the screen, plastic and metal frame. The remains of your TV set may go through a shredder (切碎机), with magnets (磁铁) helping remove steel and iron. Other processes can pick out additional metals, including aluminum, gold, silver and tin, while water-separation technology helps divide plastics and glass. Once the components are separated, they can be sold for use in new electronics.

Here is a closer look at how you can find new uses for an old TV that still has life left in it.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “dispose of” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Throw away.

B．Deal with.

C．Pick up.

D．Make up.

【2】What’s the possible result of throwing TVs as rubbish?

A．Being sentenced to death.

B．Decreasing waste of resources.

C．Causing serious pollution.

D．Making it easy to handle rubbish.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．What parts of TVs can be reused.

B．How TVs are dealt with at the recycling center.

C．Why TVs must be recycled in the US.

D．What difference recycling TVs has from recycling plastic.

【4】What will be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．The true value of old TVs.

B．The trouble of getting treasure from TVs.

C．The new uses of old TVs.

D．The recycling process of old TVs.

23、Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit’s sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.

Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.

The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.

As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.

Lee, who was once an award-winning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer.

After a year’s trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts, ” he said.

【1】What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To introduce an emerging profession.

B．To describe Lee’s career transformation.

C．To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.

D．To explain the cultural role of watermelon-knocking.

【2】What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?

A．The popularity of watermelons.

B．The big harvest of watermelons.

C．An increase in watermelon prices.

D．A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.

【3】Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”?

A．He was once an award-winning soccer player.

B．He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.

C．He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.

D．He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.

【4】What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph?

A．Seeing is believing.

B．Every man has his value.

C．Great efforts and practice matter.

D．Excellence can be found in any profession.

24、   As children, many of us dreamed of being treasure hunters when we grew up. Few of us grow up to do this work, and those who do are often professional archeologists (考古学家). And then there’s Lara Maiklem, an editor, who has taken up the hobby of mudlarking, which is a kind of treasure finding, done along the banks of rivers.

Maiklem’s idea of “treasure” is self-defined. She says she was blessed with a mother who really taught her to look, and to take pleasure in the small things around her. So for her, treasure is anything extraordinary. “Finding dry snakeskin in the long grass, or broken china in the garden bed is like finding treasure to me,” she says.

About 20 years ago, Maiklem moved to London, but having grown up on a farm, she missed the peace of the countryside. Then, one day, she found herself at the top of a set of rickety (摇晃的) wooden steps looking down at the Thames’s foreshore. “The tide (潮) was low and the riverbed was exposed. I went down and started to look about. That day I found a short piece of clay pipe stem and reasoned that there was probably more, so I went back on another low tide and I found some china. Then I found myself going there regularly,” she says.

Maiklem says after she’s photographed and researched what she finds, she often takes objects back to the foreshore of the river. “What I do keep is limited to things I don’t already have, or better examples of things I already have,” she says.

In today’s busy, stressful world, arguably the best thing treasure mudlarkers take home is the relaxation and peace of mind found in the work of mudlarking. “You’ re doing a search, yet not really doing anything so you can let your brain wander. I mudlark for 5-6 hours, which sounds like a long time, but the time flies. By the time I leave the foreshore the river has taken away my problems, and that’s more valuable than treasure,” says Maiklem.

【1】What does “treasure” mean to Maiklem?

A.Anything she believes special.

B.Anything her mother places around her.

C.Anything she and her mother take pleasure in.

D.Anything archeologists consider extraordinary.

【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A.The best place for mudlarking.

B.The typical way of mudlarking.

C.How Maiklem got into mudlarking.

D.What mudlarking brought for Maiklem.

【3】How does Maiklem usually deal with the things she finds?

A.She cleans them carefully.

B.She gives them to photographers.

C.She classifies them as limited editions.

D.She gets them back to their original places.

【4】What is the greatest fun of mudlarking for Maiklem?

A.Finding special and valuable things.

B.Searching for solutions to problems.

C.Enjoying the beauty of the foreshore.

D.Gaining a peaceful state of mind.

Then I heard a deep voice say, “Why not_____without an umbrella?” It was a one-legged man, “If you run, you won’t get so wet.” His words____me deeply. Without my father’s protection, was I only a slave to fate﹙命运﹚?

While walking with him in the rain, I knew that his dream was once_____by an accident. He was glad that he didn’t lose____and still “ran” on the road of life. Facing this guy, I had no pity, but admiration.
