21、These days, it's not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures, office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks. It's becoming more and more common to see adults taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.

What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults' nostalgia （怀旧之情）for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.

Businesses have been quick to exploit the kidult trend, and the number of toy stores that target adults has risen. Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults. Lego, for example, has brought out an architectural series featuring landmarks from around the world.

Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly （异常）that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers. On a grander scale, these kidult opponents （对手）argue that such delayed adulthood causes couples to marry later and have fewer children. This in turn can lead to shrinking national economies, for there needs to be a generational replenishment （补充）of the workforce.

From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to society's acceptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.

Whether the kidult phenomenon will continue to grow or prove to be a passing trend is anyone's guess. As the debate about it continues, remember that there is nothing wrong with being young at heart.

【1】What does the kidult phenomenon refer to?

A．Adults act like children.

B．Adults have child-like tastes.

C．Adults go in for collecting toys.

D．Adults like playing with children.

【2】Which of the following might cause the emergence of kidults?

A．Different living conditions.

B．More choices about toys.

C．High pressure of modern life.

D．Good memories of childhood.

【3】What does the underlined word “exploit” probably mean?

A．Get used to.

B．Look forward to.

C．Take advantage of.

D．Make way for.

【4】How does the text deal with the debate about kidults?

A．By strongly opposing kidult opponents.

B．By convincing readers to accept kidults.

C．By refusing to take a stand on the issue.

D．By presenting both sides of the argument.

【5】What can we infer about the author's attitude towards the phenomenon from the last paragraph?

A．Doubtful.

B．Positive.

C．Disapproving.

D．Uncaring.

22、Technology is developing by leaps and bounds. A small device such as a smartphone now has more processing power than rockets to the Moon once had. New tech brings many advantages, making our lives easier and opening up new opportunities. One piece of kit that’s been really taking off recently is the drone. This pilotless mini aircraft, originally developed for aerial (航空的) photography and warfare, is now bringing us benefits closer to home. In the last few years, tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet and Uber have promised us delivery drones—bringing goods to our doorsteps in a matter of minutes. While progress in developing them has been slow, drones are becoming more and more involved in our life.

Drones are helping to connect with and enhance the lives of people in remote locations. In the UK, the Royal Mail wants a fleet of 500 drones to help deliver the mail to faraway communities. Windracers, the company developing the drones, say they can fly in fog and produce 30% fewer emissions than comparable piloted aircraft. And in Coventry in the UK, construction has started on an air center, which will act as a base for police and delivery drones. Urban-Air Port Limited is working with car-maker Hyundai on the mini-airport, known as a skyport.

Drones can also play a part in improving the health of millions of people. For example, an incredible development project by the University of South Australia is for drones to eventually be able to survey populations for disease by reading the blood oxygen levels of humans from the air. They’ll also be able to scan for other vital signs, like coughing and a high temperature.

It seems that the sky is the limit for what drone technology can achieve. The only thing that sometimes keeps it from working is regulation. Writing for the BBC, Jessica Brown says: “If our skies are to become as crowded as our streets, airspace rules need updating to prevent accidents.”

【1】What does the underlined sentence indicate?

A．A smartphone is more advanced than rockets.

B．The rockets to the moon are very powerful.

C．Technology is progressing very rapidly.

D．Technology is widely used in daily life.

【2】What do we know about drones according to the passage?

A．They were initially developed for bringing goods.

B．They’ve improved people’s life quality in remote areas.

C．They don’t cause any pollution to the environment.

D．They can diagnose and treat some diseases from the air.

【3】What does Jessica Brown mean?

A．The development of drones is quite promising.

B．It’s a pity that drones are limited to the sky.

C．Drones will be likely to cause some accidents.

D．Some latest laws are needed to regulate drones.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Drones Are Delivering Benefits Closer to Home

B．Developing Drones Is Facing Many Challenges

C．Drones Are Currently Booming in Every Field

D．Companies Are Competing to Develop Drones

23、   A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they’re feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.

Clothes businesses push new “must-haves” every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it’s shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don’t even survive the wash so there is no chance of that second wear.

Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing—for example: plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It’s shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once, maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.

The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you’ve worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there’s no need to shop frequently.

【1】What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?

A．Some girls like showing off on the Internet.

B．Some girls spend too much time on social media.

C．Some girls care too little about their appearances.

D．Some girls think posting the same clothes online again wrong.

【2】What leads to the girls’ wearing the same clothes only once?

A．Online shopping.

B．Parents’ pressure.

C．Clothes businesses.

D．Laziness to wash clothes.

【3】Why does the author mention how single piece of clothing is made?

A．To tell us we should treasure clothes.

B．To show fast fashion’s great influence.

C．To show the development of the clothes industry.

D．To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.

【4】What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A．Offer reasons.

B．Give suggestions.

C．Give encouragement.

D．Offer more information.

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义。

My knees started shaking, yet my body froze. It felt as though my soul departed my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the roster (名单) posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze. I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team while I was not.

I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey coach, are you sure that the roster you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading (担心) his answer.

“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year, there is always next year,” the coach replied.

I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Trying to forget about the situation, I headed over to the cafeteria to buy some food. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day. Everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.

After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the rear of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being the only one in our friend group failing to make the team.

I saw my father’s car pull up near the school lot, and I walked up to the car and got in. He smiled at me, played the radio, and started driving home.
