21、I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“What did you do?”

“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“You just stood there?”

“Didn’t sell a single one.”

“My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

23、We all feel better after a night's sleep and insects are no different. But new studies have found a commonly used pesticide (农药) is disturbing the sleep of bees and flies. In one study, researchers gave bees nectar sugar (花蜜糖) mixed with neonicotinoids (烟碱类农药)—one of the most commonly used pesticides—and then tracked their movements.

The impact of the pesticide — similar to the amount a bee would encounter in the wild —was terrible. “It seems to disturb the body clock in bees — they are sleeping a lot more in the daytime. It's causing the disorder of timing of their normal behaviors,” Kiah Tasman, lead author of the studies, said.

This, she explained, could have serious results. “It's quite worrying because our studies show that their motivation of searching for food has decreased. Besides, many plants including the fruit and vegetables and so on rely on pollinators (传粉者), like bees, to reproduce (繁殖). Bees take on a big share of this workload. Pollinators, most often honey bees, are responsible for one in every three bites of food we take, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, and they increase crop values in the US by more than $15 billion each year,” Tasman added.

But bees are under threat because of widespread pesticide use, habitat loss and the climate crisis. “If the time they are managing to go out and search for food is at night-time when many flowers aren't available, that's going to hugely reduce how successful they are at collecting the food that the colony needs to grow and reproduce,” Tasman said. “It could also affect how well bees are able to care for their young. Meanwhile, the same pesticide has already been found to damage the brains of baby bees.”

In a second study, the researchers focused their attention on flies, again exposing them to neonicotinoids. The results showed that the pesticide was working directly on the cells in the brain that run the body clock, which decides when sleep and activity happen in a day, and confusing them.

【1】What is the most probable focus of the new studies?

A．The amount of pesticide bees may encounter in the wild.

B．The indications of different movements of bees.

C．The impact of pesticides on insects' behaviors.

D．The similarity between bees' and flies' life habits.

【2】What did the researchers find about bees taking in neonicotinoids?

A．They lost the right sense of time.

B．They could not find food quickly.

C．They suffered from sleeplessness.

D．They had become much healthier.

【3】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．birthplace

B．group

C．habitat

D．plant

【4】What is Tasman's attitude towards bees' searching for food at night-time?

A．Optimistic.

B．Uncertain.

C．Indifferent.

D．Negative.

24、   Oded Brenner has a great job. He makes chocolate. In 2015, during a trip to Jamaica, he developed a love and excitement for the fruit that produces chocolate: cacao (可可).

The Jamaican people taught him a lot about cacao - namely, it is more than just chocolate. Brenner saw Jamaican people making juice, and flour from the cacao fruit. And they used the whole fruit - not just the beans.

The Ecuadorian people also taught Brenner how to use cacao. In Ecuador, he saw people drink cacao water and eat the dried fruit of the pods (可可豆荚). You can eat the whole fruit, he learned. But in making traditional chocolate, he added, “all of the other parts of the fruit are wasted.”

The fruit is a little sweet and a little sour. The cacao water is described as refreshing. The seed inside is the cacao bean. This is the part that is processed to make chocolate.

With his new business and his new knowledge, Brenner said he wants to tell both sides of the chocolate story. So, he has created new products that celebrate the traditional side of chocolate-making and the natural taste of the cacao fruit.

Health experts have long noted the possible good effects that chocolate can have on health. The T.H. Chan Harvard School of Public Health says on its website that the dark chocolate produced from cacao has many necessary nutrients. These include iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and substances (物质) called flavanols.

Brenner said the unsweetened fruit has other nutrients as well. Cacao is high in antioxidants. And the water is full of natural chemicals called electrolytes. These are substances needed in the body’s fluids to control important processes including how your body uses vitamins and minerals and removes waste.

In addition to health, Brenner said that the cacao he uses for his products is farmed in a way that is not harmful to the environment. And it is also fair to the farmers.

【1】What is actual taste of chocolate mainly from?

A．Cacao water.

B．Cacao pods.

C．Cacao beans.

D．Cacao trees.

【2】Which can you learn from the text?

A．All parts of cacao are wasted in making chocolate.

B．Dark chocolate made from cacao is full of natural nutrients.

C．Oded Brenner hated his job before his arrival in Jamaica.

D．The traditional processes of chocolate destroy the nutrients in cacao bean.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Cacao Is Full of Nutrients.

B．Oded Brenner’s New Business.

C．Oded Brenner’s Great Success.

D．Cacao Is More Than Just Chocolate.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

Rescue me

My high school was in a border town, meaning we got new students who came over with their families from another country. Sometimes they’d speak English, and sometimes they didn’t. Due to differences in various aspects, we just sort of stuck with our own group.

Lisa was a new one in our class, who sat beside me. She always wore a shining smile on her face, making her a bit different from others. However, we seldom talk to each other. The first time she was called on in my favorite U.S. History, she knew the answer (which I didn’t), and she spoke in perfect English, which completely shocked me. Later, I secretly found she was also a U.S. history addict.

One day, I was sitting in U.S. History, totally stressing about a midterm we were having the next day. I didn’t even notice the headteacher come in. When he called my name, I didn’t hear him. Then Lisa clapped me on my shoulder. When looking up, I found a strange expression on his face. Something was wrong. I figured I was in trouble, but I couldn’t imagine for what.

I followed the headteacher into his office. After being silent for a minute, the headteacher began to speak, “Your father has had a car accident. The doctors did everything they could to save him, but I’m afraid he didn’t make it...”. The news came as a big blow. I stood silently, tears rolling down my face.

The next few weeks were a blur as we had the funeral (葬礼) and began adjusting to life without my dad. I went back to school after I ran out of things to do at home. Everything felt a little different. I couldn’t exactly explain how, but it just did. I felt like I couldn’t talk to my friends about the same old things and couldn’t deal with listening to the same stupid jokes. I started eating lunch on the bench (长凳) alone. Sometimes, I was just sitting there, eating nothing.
