21、I was just a boy. And he was just my dad.

It was the 1950s. We were a small family. My parents were attentive（贴心的）, caring and devoted to one another. Then suddenly, when I was 9, half of my safe and comfortable world disappeared. Dad died that morning. It was a heart attack.

A child wants to know why such things should happen. For a child, however, there can be no satisfying answers. But with adulthood, I gradually began to learn more about my dad.

He had grown up in a large family on the family farm. When war broke out in 1939, he joined the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. He was 31. He was sent overseas to southern England, where Canadian soldiers continued training while waiting for a call to action. During that time, he used his occasional（偶尔的）weeklong leaves to visit Scotland. There he met my mother, and they married in April 1942. I remember that Dad often had to go up to the veteran's（退伍军人的）hospital in Winnipeg each year. Something about his heart.

Many years later, I became more curious about his wartime and postwar experience, hoping it would help me know who he was. I sent a request to the National Archives for his postwar medical records. One day I came home from work to find a thick package at my door. It was more than 800 pages of my dad's medical records. I was overwhelmed.

So here was my dad's story, which I hadn't fully known.

This was the dad who survived years of cold conditions and lack of food in a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. This was the dad who survived death marches（行军）in the cold winter of 1945, as the Germans paraded（游街示众）their POWs（战俘）around the countryside. This was the dad who spent 391 days in the hospital after the war. It was why he died at 50, leaving his wife and two sons behind.

The child in me could never understand why he would leave me. The adult could now forgive him for having done so. But I can't forgive war itself for the losses it causes, not only on the men and women who actively serve but on the generations yet to be born.

【1】What can we learn about the author's father?

A．He opposed war in all forms.

B．He married before going overseas.

C．He had to check his heart regularly after the war.

D．He was forced to join the army at 31.

【2】How did the author feel after reading the medical records?

A．Surprised and annoyed.

B．Confused and worried.

D．Shocked and heartbroken.

【3】Why did the author forgive his father at last?

B．He understood what his father had gone through.

C．He remembered his father's care for him.

D．He experienced the same pain as his father had.

【4】What does the author want to convey from the article?

A．Soldiers deserve our respect.

B．A strong body means everything.

C．War brings disastrous pain for generations.

D．A father's love is important for a family.

22、In the United States，many teachers keep fish，hamsters(仓鼠)，and other animals in their classrooms.Teachers say students learn important lessons from the animals.More than 70 percent of teachers who have classroom pets say the animals help students learn responsibility.Research also shows that classroom pets can reduce stress.

“Pets can comfort kids who are having a bad day,”says Lisa Robbins，who works fora group called Pets in the Classroom.

But others think pets should be expelled from classrooms. In January，the Durango School District in Colorado began following a no-pet policy(政策).Now animals can be brought into Durango schools for certain lessons，but they can't stay.Officials were worried that animals might create problems for kids with allergies(过敏症).They were also concerned about the animals getting proper care.

Here's what two of our readers think.

Having classroom pets gives students a fun way to learn about animals. In my class last year，we had a class pet named Elliot.Our teacher also used him to teach us about different subjects.For example，in math，we calculated (计算)how much it costs to feed Elliot for a year.

Pets also help kids learn how to work as a team. My classmates and I took turns feeding Elliot and cleaning his tank,

If teachers are worried about students with allergies，they could get pets that don't have fur.

—D' Lasia Mays，Texas

Classroom pets can take away valuable class time.Some students might have a hard time focusing on the teacher when there are animals in the room.

Plus，having a classroom pet can cause safety problems. You never know how an animal will react to students.Even a cute little hamster might hurt a kid who sticks his or her hand in its cage.

23、The story of the most sustainable pair of jeans is also the story of a family whose members have dedicated their lives to denim innovation. It is the great-great-grandson of the family business founder who has brought Candiani and whole fashion industry to new heights by creating the first fully biodegradable stretch denim.

Alberto Candiani, the current owner of Candiani, created the first fully biodegradable jeans using a plant-based yarn obtained from natural rubber. Once the innovative denim came to life, a brand new pair of jeans was put to the test by being buried in forest land for six months. At the end of that period, Candiani’s team discovered the fibers had almost fully broken down. The new technology is called Coreva. “These garments are extremely durable, but at the end of their life, you could send them back to us and we recycle them, or you could fertilize your vegetables with them,” Alberto Candiani said.

Jeans generate an environmental impact that has become a real global challenge. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, it takes around 2000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans. And during production, around 71 pounds of carbon dioxide are released. What’s more, most jeans are manufactured with stretch denim made with plastic, which can take hundreds of years to degrade.

But by creating a circular model in which fabrics are biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle, tons of garments can be prevented from ending up in landfills. Candiani has not only achieved this by going plastic-free, but the manufacturer has also reduced water use by 75 percent and the use of chemicals by 65 percent. Although Candiani creates a product that is about double the price of traditional denim due to the higher labor and more manufacturing costs involved, business is booming. Not only has the company tripled its production, but its motto of “the greenest mill in the blue world” is credible.

【1】What is highlighted about Candiani in paragraph 1?

A．It is dedicated to clothing innovation.

B．It has the most sustainable pair of jeans.

C．It enters a new phase by creating greener fabrics.

D．Its founder’s taken the fashion industry to a new level.

【2】What do we know about the innovative denim?

A．It can be reused to nourish plants.

B．It is made of recycled materials.

C．It uses Coreva to make it extremely durable.

D．It can last for six months under the forest land.

【3】What’s the function of paragraph 3 in the passage?

A．To explain the possible reasons for global warming.

B．To show the bad effects of jeans on the environment.

C．To raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.

D．To emphasize the value of the new denim by contrast.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Candiani’s innovation?

A．Doing a hard but thankless job.

B．Killing two birds with one stone.

C．Putting the cart before the horse.

D．Solving the problem one and for all.

24、   Five years ago, I took a career risk by leaving my job to work on a ship. My medical friends did their best to persuade me, saying that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after these years working as a junior, I was willing to take the risk.

Hungry for adventure, I boarded a ship in Singapore with 2,000 passengers and crew. To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer. That first voyage was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills. There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which uniform to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to set my clock when the ship crossed time zones.

As a doctor, I was responsible for 600 crew, and I was on call for the entire ship. Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, I had to deal with other diseases, for my patients were wide and varied. The ship's medical center was actually a floating emergency room, and we didn't have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.

As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly, heart attacks don't care about geography and emergency evacuating(疏散)was difficult to arrange. I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.

Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job, I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities and I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore. I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St. Petersburg.

Now, I understand being a ship doctor is not a job—it's a way of life. One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.

【1】How did the writer feel working on the ship?

A.Regretful. B.Satisfied.

C.Scared. D.Nervous.

【2】What was the writer's most difficult thing on the ship?

【3】The patient taken off the ship halfway through the Panama Canal.

A.suffered from an unknown disease

B.was taken to a safe place immediately

C.got timely treatment in the hospital

D.died on the way to the nearest hospital

【4】Why did the writer lose his career ambitions later on?

A.He had a new understanding of happiness.

B.He could enjoy the passenger facilities.

C.He was content to be a tour guide on trips.

D.He gave up the dream of being a doctor.

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。

There were two brothers who lived on neighboring farms and fell into conflict. It was the first serious disharmony in 40 years of farming.

The two brothers had been living in harmony with each one, side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed, without any conflict. Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference. Finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said, “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?”

“Yes,” said the older brother, “I do have a job for you. Look across the small river at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a grassland between us and he took his bulldozers(推土机) to the river bank and now there is a small river between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me on purpose, but I’ll get him one better. See that pile of wood beside the barn(谷仓)? I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, so I won’t need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing(锯), nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.

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。

There was no fence there at all.
