21、Fou Ts'ong, a Chinese-born pianist known for his sensitive interpretations of Chopin, Debussy and Mozart.died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years. He was 86.

A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fou began taking piano lessons when he was 7. Mr. Fou made his first stage appearance in 1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fou soon moved to Poland, where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory(音乐学校)on a scholarship. To prepare for the fifth Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1955.he practiced so diligently that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.

Mr. Fou was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global prominence when he took the third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955. He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's mazurkas(马祖卜舞曲). Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fou's recognition in a well-known international competition was proof that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters flocked to interview Mr. Fou, while many others sought out his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-rearing.

In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, primarily to Mr. Fou, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei's Family, Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Mr. Fu's words resonated(共鸣)long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.

"My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist.'" Mr. Fou once recalled in an interview. "Even now, I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way."

22、In March 2020, when I stood alone in the middle of the main road to the Lake District, it felt like the end of the world. As a local farmer, I’ve grown used to the heavy traffic. But suddenly, everything changed. The lockdown brought quietness to the area, and I did feel a sense of relief to be done with the noise for a while.

Just off the main road is Matterdale, where I live with my family. We own a farm and our work focuses on tending farm animals. Like many who live in tourist attractions, we have been annoyed by some visitors. My farming would have been significantly easier without people parking in gateways, walking through the fields of lambs with loose dogs scaring them, or abandoning their tents along the river.

Despite my complaints, however, I would never reject visitors’ presence. I do understand their need for rest after months of urban life. In fact, I think I need them too. Of course, communities like ours rely on the income that tourism creates. But to me, there is something more personal. I once took my kids to the lake. Near the shore, we saw boys and girls playing together. A young dad was holding his kid’s hand as she tiptoed through the shallows. An elderly couple were sitting in the shade, admiring the view. I found myself content knowing that I was sharing this landscape with others.

As lockdown restrictions have relaxed and visitors started to come back, I wonder how we can coexist happily. For those who are reading this, I hope that my words can encourage you to respect the communities you visit, and understand the responsibilities that come with visiting those places. Our love can coexist, even if it sometimes makes life a little crowded.

【1】What did the author think about the visitor-free Lake District?

A．Boring.

B．Peaceful.

C．Interesting.

D．Disappointing.

【2】Why was the author annoyed by some visitors?

A．They polluted the water.

B．They scared his dogs away.

C．They caused damage to his farm.

D．They brought inconvenience to his work.

【3】What is the main reason that the author never rejected visitors?

A．To earn more money.

B．To meet new people in his life.

C．To share the beauty of the land.

D．To let more people love his farm.

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

A．To advocate for responsible traveling.

B．To complain about tourism and travelers.

C．To suggest ways of supporting local communities.

D．To show the relationship between farmers and tourists.

23、   If Thelma Richards continues to pay $917 a month, every month, for the foreseeable future, she’ll pay off her student loans by the end of 2042. The problem is, by then she’ll be 87 years old. “I don’t think I’m going to live that long,” she says, laughing. “I’m not joking!” Richards, 65, who lives in Little Falls, N.Y., represents a growing number of older Americans, who are now more likely than ever to hold student debt well into retirement age. According to a January report from the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the number of Americans aged 60 and older carrying student debt doubled in the past five years.

The rapid rise in older Americans taking on student loans has two main causes. The first is that parents and grandparents are co-signing loans to support the younger generation. The second is that older Americans are increasingly taking student loans for themselves. With blue-collar jobs decreasing, people in their 40s and 50s are going back to school to acquire new skills.

Richards, for example, who worked as a waitress while raising three children as a single mom, went back to college in her 40s to earn a degree in occupational treatment. While her new profession produces a higher income and health care benefits, it has also left her with a lifetime of debt. Trends leave older borrowers in a bind. They have less time in the workforce and are more likely to become ill, often in a weaker position to pay back loans. Making monthly payments on a fixed income is also more difficult than it is for younger borrowers, whose incomes are more likely to grow.

According to the CFPB report, more than a third of those aged 60 and older with student debt had given up medical care to afford their loan payments. And there’s no way out. Robert Farrington, the founder of the website the College Investor, says one main piece of advice for older borrowers is simply to avoid any loan that isn’t repayable in 10 years. “Remember,” he says, “if you don’t pay, they’ll come after you.”

【1】How much should Thelma Richards pay from 1st April 2030 to 31st December 2050 for the student loan according to the passage?

A.Approximately $129,300 B.Approximately $140,300

C.Approximately $217,300 D.Approximately $228,300

【2】For whom do Americans take student loans according to the passage?

A.Children. B.Grandparents.

C.The government. D.Themselves or kids.

【3】Which of the following is NOT a reason why it is difficult for Americans to pay off student loans?

A.The banks are too greedy. B.They easily become ill.

C.Some have to attend school. D.Their work time is reduced.

【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A.Student Loan Cannot Be Paid in America

B.The Government Should Reduce Student Loan

C.Retirees Shoulder a Bigger Share of Student Debt

D.Student Debt is the Biggest Trouble in America

24、   Even if you’ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place: It’s hot. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile trek (跋涉) to the top of the city’s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is “extremely difficult”. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you keep climbing, another sign farther up declares; “If you’re halfway through your water turn around!”

Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to the warnings. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old man hikes up and down Camelback a couple of times a day giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. I’d like a more manly name, but, you know, he told azfamily, com.

Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by Arizona’s unforgiving version of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble,” he told the Arizona Republic. If a hiker has a red face and is not sweating anymore, Cullymore reaches into his insulated (隔热的) backpack, pulls out a frosty bottle, and hands it to the person. “It’s misleading that we’re in the middle of the city. You can die up here, and no one would know.”

One hiker who received Cullymore’s water agrees. “You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket,” he said, pointing to Cullymore, “but we are lucky, we run into this good man here.” And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.

【1】What is the purpose of the signs along the hike way?

A.To show the trek is difficult. B.To warn hikers to take enough water.

C.To frighten people to give up. D.To avoid hikers getting lost.

【2】What does Scott Cullymone think of his nickname?

A.It’s womanish. B.It’s manly.

C.It’s ironic, D.It’s appropriate.

【3】Who will Scott offer his help to?

A.Anybody he meets. B.Those in the middle of the trek.

C.Anyone in need of water. D.Those who sweat a lot.

【4】What can be the best title of this text?

A.A Desert-Like Mountain B.Fighting against Heat

C.Necessities for Hiking D.Water Angel

25、   One day, when I was a first year in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school, _______ nearly all his books. He was Kyle. “How strange it is!” I thought.

We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be pretty cool. We _______ all the weekend and became best friends over the next four years.

Then came the _______ day when Kyle as a representative would _______ a speech. He _______ his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through _______ years. I am to tell you a story.”

I just looked with __________ as he told the story of our first meeting. He had __________ to kill himself over the weekend. He had cleaned out his locker so as not to ________ his Mom later.

“________, I was saved by my friend from doing the unspeakable.”

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。

1,642-foot Squaw Peak, with its particularly inviting views of western Massachusetts, has tricked hikers into overlooking the potential danger among its steep, slippery cliffs, resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.

Henry Grant, soon starting his freshman year at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak’s record. As such, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while he was waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019. He watched some hikers enjoy the remarkable view; among these hikers, one woman, around 60 years old and dressed in pink, was peeking over (探身看) the lip of the cliff with her husband.

When Grant’s mother rejoined him, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard a tumbling(摔倒), a thump(重击声), and another thump. Then he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!” a man yelled desperately. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, she had fallen off the side of the mountain. Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by trees. Grant told his mother: “I hate to say this, but I am afraid a woman hiker just fell off the cliff.” Uncertain whether they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the mountain path.

But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. “I can do it,” he thought to himself. Having promised to his mother that he would be safe, he hiked off the path alone, hoping he wasn’t too late. After 15 minutes of climbing over huge rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping down areas of loose dirt, Grant spotted a figure dressed in pink about 25 feet above him. She curled up on her knees on a small sticking-out rock. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Fortunately, she was alive.

“Paula!” Grant shouted. “Paula! Is that you?”

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。

Para. 1

The woman barely responded, and she was clearly hurt, struggling to stay conscious.
