21、One Sunday in 2021, when my son, Leo, was six, we ran into one of his friends, Izzie. They decided to play ——but what? “I have a great idea,” Leo said. “Let’s fall in love! OK?” Izzie took a half-second to consider this proposal, then replied “No.” She wanted to play tag.

Leo has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections, often in the wrong places. It sometimes feels as though he’s been looking for a soulmate since he was a toddler（学步孩童）.

One day, he came home from school and immediately grabbed his iPad to ask Siri: “Can you fall in love when you’re just a kid?”

Siri, Apple’s voice-controlled personal assistant, is great at opening apps or setting alarms, but I was unfamiliar with her philosophies on love.

“What did Siri say?” I asked him.

“She said, ‘Here’s what I found on the web!’” Leo reported.

This was hardly the first time I’d heard Leo in conversation with Siri. Over the years, he’s relied on Siri as a source of comfort, advice, emotional support, and guidance. Their relationship blossomed when the pandemic forced us all to shelter in place.

At first, Leo mostly asked Siri factual questions, then the personal ones. As time passed, he began to engage on more existential matters. Siri has, in some ways, been able to absorb some of Leo’s concerns—in a way that, as his mother, I can’t, at least not with the same coolness.

Children are overwhelmed with emotions such as grief, fear, love, and a desire for connection. If Leo’s talks with Siri confronted me with the unknowable and unanswerable, they also made me frustrated at my own limitations as a parent.

There are many challenges to parenthood, among which the biggest is the desire to shelter our children from the painfulness of reality. But helping our children navigate reality is surely more helpful than sheltering them from it. Perhaps the best we can do is give them a tablet?

I’m afraid I don’t have the answer. Maybe I should ask Siri.

【1】What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning lzzie?

A．Leo’s longing for intimacy.

B．Leo’s close bond with lzzie.

C．Leo’s eagerness to have fun.

D．Leo’s effort to make new friends.

【2】What would Leo ask Siri when they first talked?

A．Siri, have you ever been in love?

B．Siri, what is your favorite hobby?

C．Siri, what does it mean to be alive?

D．Siri, how many stars are in the Milky Way?

【3】Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Siri?

A．Curious.

B．Disappointed.

C．Appreciative.

D．Worried.

【4】What does the author suggest parents do when raising children?

A．Be a good role model.

B．Promote independence.

C．Communicate effectively.

D．Practice positive discipline.

22、Over 500 dogs being delivered to a butcher house were saved by a Chinese animal protection organization.

The incident then triggered a debate among Chinese netizens about the necessity of pouring so much money and efforts into saving dogs.

On Friday, a truck loaded with over 500 dogs were stopped by volunteers from animal protection organization on Jingha Expressway Beijing section. Beijing Times reported these dogs were being delivered to slaughter houses in the city of Changchun, northeast Jilin Province and would be eventually served on dinner tables.After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp. and a philanthropic foundation, Shang shan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan. Dogs were then delivered to the headquarter of China Small Animal Protection Association (CSAPA), being taken care of and waiting for adoption.

After the “dog saving mission” was reported, Chinese net users debate over whether saving dogs is worth so much efforts and money while there are still many poor and needy people in China lacking assistance.Some net users argue the “dog saving mission” is placing overattention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.A microblogger “Xiaowulaitajie” said on China's twitter like website, weibo.com, “Dogs are saved, adopted and they attracted media spotlight. We'd better spend such money and take such efforts in helping the needy people.”Another microblogger, Liluping, said “We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs. I would rather the money was spent on disaster relief.”

Some applaud volunteers' actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.

Still many disapprove those “saving dogs” critics, but they argue that such act nonetheless promotes social progress.

A microblogger named “broken bridge” said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people. Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.

I think people and animals are created equal. Attention should be paid to people as well as animals.

【1】Where did the article come from?

A. A storybook.

B. A novel.

C. The Internet.

D. A magazine.

【2】Which one has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “run counter to” in the last but one paragraph?

A. meet with

B. agree with

C. go against

D. come across

【3】The following statements are TRUE except    .

A. These dogs were finally saved and adopted.

B. More than 25,000,000 yuan was given to the truck driver to purchase these dogs.

C. All the people don't think it right to save these dogs with so much money.

D. Some people think it better to spend the money in helping the needy people.

23、“No,” Mama Lil said it plain and simple. “I ain’t never heard of no girls to be doing that. Bebe, you need to be getting yourself a real summer job, something civilized.”

I’d been living with Mama Lil since I was six, when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire. Lillian Johns was my mom’s mother. Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too. I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced.

For weeks I’d been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation (修缮) team. It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge. The project would last the summer and pay good money. It would help me get to college, where I wanted to study engineering.

But for Mama Lil, the thing that made her the most stubborn this time, was exactly my dream of becoming an engineer. In some respects, Mama Lil was right. It was true that there weren’t many black women engineers. But I wanted to build bridges more than anything.

“Let me go, Mama Lil,” I begged softly.

Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. “Mama Lil,” I said carefully, “if you don’t sign the bridge project permission form, I will sign it myself. Nobody will know the difference.”

The next morning, Mama Lil’s eyes looked red-tired. “I’m going to the bridge,” I said firmly. “I know, Bebe,” she said. From her housedress pocket, she took out a pen and signed the form. “Bebe, that bridge is lucky to have you,” she said.

I hugged Mama Lil good and hard, smiling big, right at her.

…

Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the best spot to see the bridge. I’d come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken with what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle.

At night, Belle was dressed in tiny light. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other in the whole city. Jeweled in light. Beautiful.

I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and on foggy twilight mornings... I was proud of my drawings, but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle: She needed repair. That bridge renovation project needed me; and I needed it, in more ways than I could count.

【1】Mama Lil refused to sign the permission form mainly because ______.

A．she had become stubborn in her old age

B．she wouldn’t allow Bebe to have a summer job

C．she thought the bridge project was too dangerous

D．she didn’t support Bebe’s desire to be an engineer

【2】What can we learn from the story?

A．Bebe lost her parents in the bridge project.

B．Bebe liked to draw the bridge on winter mornings.

C．Bebe and Mama Lil often got into arguments with each other.

D．Bebe called her grandma Mama Lil because she was her mom’s mother.

【3】By mentioning the name “Brooklyn Belle”，the author intends to help readers ______.

A．recall the history of the bridge

B．appreciate the bridge’s beauty

C．ignore the damage to the bridge

D．imagine the bridge’s future look

【4】Which of the following could be the theme of this story?

A．Dreams know no color or gender.

B．Elders always make the best decisions.

C．Conflict usually resolves itself in the end.

D．Pride wins out but makes things more difficult.

24、What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent．

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent．

【1】According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A．Friendly assistant.

B．Soft background music.

C．Unique scents.

D．Attractive window display.

【2】E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ________.

A．urge shop assistants to change their attitude

B．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

C．push stores to use sights and sounds

D．introduce the rise of e-commerce

【3】The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

A．a place where customers love to go

B．a spot where travelers like to stay

C．a platform that exhibits goods

D．a target that a store expects to meet

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A．compare and evaluate

B．inform and explain

C．argue and discuss

D．examine and assess

25、It has been difficult to sit on the bench most of the time, watching my team from the sideline. I always_________ why I am not good enough to be on the floor.

The feeling of being_________ is sometimes too much and drives me to_________ on the spot. I often feel as though my_________ are wasted and my time is devoted to nothing. It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(观看者) for the game I love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me the chance to perform on the floor. Tears well up ( 涌 出 ), but I_________ them back.

Away from the game, it's easier to put my thoughts together, rather than letting my_________ drive my reasoning. I consider why I am where I am. I have played basketball my whole life.

There is nothing like the__________ of playing: the swish (嗖嗖声) of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruise ( 青 肿 ) are battle wounds worn__________ after every game.

Even if I don't play much, I participate in every game. I am part of a team of girls who__________ together like a family. I am there for them, as they are for me.

Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and continue playing basketball with great passion just a little longer? The__________ isn't difficult when I consider the joy that being a part of a team__________ me - not just any team, but my team. I love basketball and my teammates.
