21、I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway on the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you. ’’

I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.

Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.

I carved(雕刻) “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back.

I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”

【1】What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?

A．Boys should have a toy boat at childhood.

B．People can simply buy whatever they need.

C．Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.

D．No one can give you what you do for yourself.

【2】The underlined words “we three” in Paragraph 6 refer to ________.

A．Mother, the boat and me

B．Catherine, Claire and me

C．Grandfather, the boat and me

D．Grandfather, Mother and me

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A．The writer’s grandfather died in 1930

B．Claire understood the meaning of the boat

C．The boat took me back to Norway four times

D．The writer’s mother was born in western Norway

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Little Boat And My life

B．The Little Boat And My Parents

C．The Little Boat That Sailed At Storvassdal

22、   I always have these questions in my mind-how does anxiety influence how we think? What classroom environments are most helpful to learning? Most experts agree that having the right team of people to come up with ideas to argue for plays an important role to find out the answers.

However, how do we know who the right people are when making a team? From the classroom and the workplace, to the laboratory and the playing field, research shows that diverse groups of people often make better decisions.

Professor Scott Page believes different ways of thinking from a particular group produces something additional. When people with their own "tools" come together to work on difficult tasks, the results are powerful.

Groups with different genders(性别) also hold merit here. Christine Lagarde said that better decisions are made when women and men come together at the table, creating what she calls a "larger horizon". She mentioned that while women make up only 2% of bank CEOs worldwide, banks who count women among the top leadership are likely to have better economic outcomes( 结果).

In 2010, researchers examined the performance of about 700 people (both men and women), working in groups of two to five, solving both simple and difficult tasks. They discovered that the best predictor of performance wasn't the average intelligence of group members. Instead it was a collective measure of intelligence, which had much to do with the number of women in the group. As women are good at reading others' faces and making the best of different opinions, they help to bring out a more productive outcome.

Finally, it turns out that the size of the group matters, too. Smaller groups can actually be more creative. A new study from University of Chicago found that while bigger teams are important for advancing science, smaller groups help "break it down"-a key part of creativity.

In today's workforce, people come together to cooperate on tough tasks, being encouraged to look to each other. Brainstorming with others in small, diverse groups helps ideas to shine in our mind and, more often than not, leads to the solution. It's a research-driven model for how to develop our collective problem-solving abilities by having the right teams of people producing good ideas worth fighting for.

【1】The underlined word "diverse groups" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A.groups in which people have a close relation

B.groups with people who like thinking and sharing

C.groups in which people are different from each other

D.groups with people who are good at solving problems

【2】What can we learn from the research in 2010?

A.Groups with both genders make teamwork more fruitful.

B.Women are better at reading and accepting others' minds.

C.The average intelligence of group members really matters.

D.Banks should depend more on women in decision-making.

【3】What does the writer mainly want to show us?

A.Women in a group influence the collective intelligence.

B.Different groups of people usually produce different ideas.

C.Diverse teams can be expected to work out better outcomes.

D.The size of the group is important in dealing with problems.

23、When Jane and Billy were little, they got along well. The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.

“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”

“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”

And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.

We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.

We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.

This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other.

【1】What does the underlined word “peaceful” mean?

A．Quiet.

B．Noisy.

C．Comfortable.

D．Exciting.

【2】What did the author do when her kids fought?

A．She asked them to run outside.

B．She asked them to say sorry to each other.

C．She asked them to spin the “punishment wheel”.

D．She helped the younger child argue with the older child.

【3】Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”?

A．She wanted to show the importance of the word.

B．She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.

C．She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.

D．She was not sure if the word is correct.

【4】With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.

A．fighting was not a game

B．there were no real punishments in life

C．they should be nice to each other

D．fighting was bad for both sides

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Brother and Sister

B．A Smart Mom

C．Stop Arguing

D．The Punishment Wheel

24、I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.

Recently, the Li family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly (顺利地) for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr and Mrs Li have a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (Grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr Li can’t speak English.

Luckily, Mrs Li can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese backgrounds live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese, Mr Li can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.

Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs Li would still like to live near us but Mr Li cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages. Maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.

【1】The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because ________.

A．he’s very lucky

B．he speaks very good English

C．he’s good at speaking Chinese

D．he is good at communicating with others

【2】How did the two families feel on the first two days?

A．Sad.

B．Happy.

C．Worried.

D．Lonely.

【3】Who can’t speak English in the passage?

A．Mr Li.

B．Mrs Li.

C．The writer.

D．The writer’s wife.

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．How the Li family came to Canada.

B．How old Mr and Mrs Li’s son is.

C．Why the Li family moved to Canada.

D．Why the writer feels bad when he is with Mr Li.

【5】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．Mr Li is not clever at all.

B．The writer has never been to China before.

C．Both the writer and Mr Li are quite young.

D．The two families live a little far away from each other now.

25、根据短文内容和所给汉语提示，在空白处写出单词的正确形式，每空一词。

Many Chinese people leave their hometown to 【1】(搜寻) for work in the cities. They usually 【2】(返回) to their hometown once or twice a year. 【3】(在……之间) these is Zhong Wei. He has been working in a 【4】(彩色蜡笔) factory in Wenzhou for the past 13 years. He hasn't been back for 【5】(几乎) three years now, and he is interested in how his hometown has 【6】(改变).
