21、“To be a musician, it’s like fulfilling a part of your life that can’t be replaced. It’s something that I enjoy and I love to do and I get a satisfaction from it.”

At the age of 13, Renald Richard went to see a band perform at a church dance. It was very amazing and he decided to play the trumpet. 【2】 Then in Houston, Texas in 1954, Richard was approached by Jeff Brown, the manager of musician Ray Charles. He recalled, “【3】 He just got a hit record out and he would be interested in you playing the trumpet in the band. Would you like to do that? Of course. Ray Charles. I said ‘yes’!”
【4】 “First of all, to be selected by Ray Charles was an honor to me. I was honored by that and a little nervous.” In time, Richard became Charles’ bandleader. Richard stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years. 【5】 Four years later, he moved again, this time to New York City.

22、 Vancouver has had a crazy property (房地产) market since it hosted the winter Olympics in 2010. The downtown area is forested with new apartment blocks. Prices have risen by nearly 60% in the past three years. But until recently developers have largely avoided Chinatown. It is an underdeveloped area. Many Chinatown residents are old and poor.
Developers now have Chinatown in their sights. Two years ago one built a 17-storey apartment building on its edge. This alarmed many residents, who had formed a group to stop the high-rise advance, now called SaveChinatownYVR. Ms. Melody Ma is its leader. Recently it has been successful.
The main theatre of battle is a car park known as 105 Keefer, where Beedie Living plans to build a nine-storey brick-and-glass apartment block. The developer promises 111 luxury flats, with rooftop landscaping and shops below.
105 Keefer is in an area rich with cultural associations. Just to the south is a monument to Chinese-Canadian builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway and veterans of the Second Word War. Across the street is the Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. “A lot of people were frightened” because of the building’s “closeness to sacred sites in the heart of Chinatown,” says Ms. Ma. Some residents also fear that it will push up rents.
Conservationists hope that the parking lot is where they can stop development, which they say has spoilt the charm of other Vancouver neighborhoods such as Mount Pleasant. The dispute (分歧) is part of a debate about the city’s identity, says Andy Yan, an urban planner. Vancouverites, he says, are asking themselves, “Who are we? And what are we building for?” The people who might want to buy the flats that do not yet exist are, of course, not being consulted.
【1】What will Ms. Melody Ma agree?
A.To preserve Chinatown.
B.To rebuild Chinatown.
C.To build skyscrapers in Chinatown.
D.To promote the property market in Chinatown.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A.To state some reasons. B.To offer some advice.
C.To make some comparisons. D.To introduce a new topic.
【3】What is Vancouverites attitude towards the recent development in Chinatown?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Unfavorable. D.Divided.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The alarmed citizens of Vancouver.
B.The cultural associations of 105 Keefer.
C.The property battle in Vancouver’s Chinatown.
D.The identity of Vancouver.
23、Leek Town Warriors was a girls’ football team Which used to get routinely defeated every time they turned out, until James Henry stepped in two years ago. He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes.With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.
Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on.” James said.
James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.
James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually,becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.
James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the Support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”

24、When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first — changing your diet or becoming more physically active?
Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.
So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were age 45 or older into four groups. One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time, the second group was taught about diet changes first, then fitness changes four months later, the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later, and the final, control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.
The researchers tracked the groups for a full year. Compared to the control group, the three intervention (干预) groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year. The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.
The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If folks change diet and exercise orderly, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.
【1】The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed .
A.popular
B.dangerous
C.scientific
D.unsatisfactory
【2】Which group made progress earlier than other groups in increasing the amount of daily exercise?

C.The third group.
D.The control group.
【3】The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that .
A.they might be very lazy
B.they wouldn’t like to change their behavior
C.it is much harder to change physical activity
D.they might put on weight before changing their physical activity
【4】Which of the following does the author probably approve of?
A.Pairing diet and exercise changes.
B.Becoming more physically active first.
C.Changing diet and exercise following a fixed order.
D.Changing diet first and placing more importance on it.

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。
It was freezing cold outside. The biting wind was blowing hard. Rosalee pressed her nose against the window. Then she made a wish. “Ready, set—snow,” she whispered. She looked at the sky, but there was no snow. Rosalee closed her eyes again. “Ready, set—SNOW!” she said louder. She stole a quick glance with one eye open. “Not one flake(小薄片)”.
“Be patient, dear. It will snow soon,” said Rosalee’s grandmother Nana. She was setting a plate of warm pizzelle (芝麻脆饼) on the table. Rosalee loved her grandmother’s cookies. Their fancy shapes looked like snowflakes.
“But Grandpa told me it was supposed to snow today,” Rosalee said. It would be the first snow this winter. She had been filled with expectations.
Rosalee’s brother, Marcus, was sitting at the kitchen table. “Today can mean any time between now and midnight,” he pointed out.
Rosalee seemed a little confused. All the signs of snow were there: It looked like it could snow—The sky matched the grey rooftop next door; It felt like snowy weather—When she walked across the yard to check the mailbox that morning, she’d had to wear her hat and gloves and bury her face in a scarf, which made her look like a moving ball at a distance; It even smelled like it could snow—Nana always made pizzelle in a snowy weather.
The cookies cooled on the table, filling the kitchen with their sweet smell, making her mouth water. Nana smiled at Rosalee and handed her a cookie. Rosalee took a bite. Suddenly, an idea struck her. “I know how to make it now,” she said excitedly, jumping off her seat.
“Impossible,” Marcus mumbled(嘟哝), his mouth full.
“You’ll see!” Rosalee disappeared into her room.
An hour later, Rosalee called to her brother, who was in his room reading. “Come into the kitchen with your eyes closed, Marcus.”
“All right.” Marcus appeared in the doorway. His eyelids were closed.
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。
“OK. Ready, set—SNOW!” Rosalee said.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
