21、Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.

Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history.

"A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wrote on its website.

These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.

So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?

"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧变)added fuel to their fires."

Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age.

"Fashion and music, they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian.

"When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money. Now, it' s all a bit more blurry(模糊不清的),” she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.

Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way.

"It's certainly happening online," she said. "It's a lot easier to use personas(伪装) online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge."

22、   This year’s holiday photos will have an undoubtedly pandemic feel: 【1】. Santa is hosting drive-through events, attaching face shields to his hat and trading with disposable gloves rather than his white cloth ones to protect himself —and others.

“【2】,” said Mark Brenneman, 70, who has been playing the role of Santa for nearly five decades. “They want hope. They want normal.”

Bass Pro Shops began offering free photos with Santa during the 2008 recession, when the country was in need of a collective pick-me-up.【3】. Now the outdoors retailer is hoping to re-create some of that magic, even if Old Saint Nick is stuck behind a shield and elves are pulling double duty as “Santa’s sanitization squad.”

The SoNo collection, a mall in Norwalk, Conn., is offering virtual visits this year for $25. But for those who would like to see Santa in the flesh, he’ll be greeting shoppers from inside an acrylic snow globe on the third floor.

“【4】—the Spanish flu, the bubonic plague — and I just couldn’t bring myself to tell my kids that he was afraid of covid-19,” said Kathryn Burgess, a photographer who designed the snow globe and spent $10,000 producing it. “【5】.”

Her acrylic barriers, which she sells for as much as $4,000, are being used by nearly 50 malls, schools and hospitals this holiday season.

A．A visit to Santa Claus is always a big pleasure for children.

B．It turned out to be an overnight success

C．Santa has survived so many things

D．We find it difficult to deal with the situation

E．But we had to come up with a creative plan to protect him

F．No more sitting on Santa Claus’s lap or whispering in his ear

G．Santa can’t give out hugs or candy canes this year, but people still want to see him

23、Did you throw together the stuff you had on hand and amazedly found it good? Here’re some foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.

ICE CREAM CONE

Before the ice-cream cone (蛋卷筒), people ate ice-cream out of dishes. This changed in 1904. A vendor (摊贩) ran out of dishes to serve ice-cream. Luckily, another vendor was selling waffle (华夫饼). The quick-thinking vendor rolled his waffle into a cone. The ice-cream vendor filled it with ice-cream for his customers, who were deeply impressed by its flavor and got a second treat when they realized they could eat the cone with ice-cream.

POTATO CHIPS

It is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man ordered fried potatoes at a restaurant. He sent them back to the kitchen because they weren’t crispy (松脆的) enough. The chef was so angry that he sliced the potatoes extremely thin, put lots of salt, and fried them Then they became a specialty.

TOFU

Tofu is made by fresh soya milk, and was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk. Tofu is a great example of how messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.

CHEESE PUFF

One day, an employee working in a company making animal feed watched workers pouring cornmeal (玉米粉) into the machine. It came out of the machine in ribbons. He took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavors to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!

【1】Why did ice-cream customers want a second treat?

A．Because of the lack of dishes.

B．Because of the portability of the cone.

C．Because of the half price of two snacks.

D．Because of the taste of the combination.

【2】What can we know from this text?

A．Tofu is a surprising outcome of a mistake.

B．Potato chips were criticized for excessive salt.

C．Ice-cream was served with waffle before 1904.

D．Cheese puff was invented by a snack company.

【3】What do the listed foods have in common?

A．They were created by accident.

B．They are western popular snacks.

C．They were developed in the kitchen.

D．They were invented for pleasant flavor.

24、The arrival of autumn has left me charmed once again by its generous harvest of pomegranates. While pomegranate juice had always been a favorite of mine, for a long time, I couldn’t say the same for the actual fruit. 【1】 How could anyone possibly take pleasure in eating that? But by chance, I changed my mind.

A handful of small pomegranate trees grow just outside the gate of my husband’s family home in rural Zhejiang. 【2】 So one autumn, my mother-in-law gave me and my husband a bag filled with pomegranates she had picked herself.

At first, I rejected the seemingly burdensome pile of fruit on our dinner table. 【3】 He continued to bite on pomegranate and offer me a taste of the seeds, and eventually curiosity won. I popped a handful in my mouth, and found myself knocked in the best possible way.

The seeds were filled with that familiar rich and sweet flavor. 【4】 Moreover, it was superior to anything I had encountered in liquid form. Later, I’m always fascinated to discover the many locales in China also touched by the sweet pleasures of the pomegranate.

【5】 At that time in my life, moving around left me too much stress, which usually left me with the discomfort of a nervous stomach. But among the many health benefits of pomegranate is that it can naturally improve digestion. Regular consumption of the fruit had comforted my gut (肠道) so much. If you've yet to be addicted to the delights of the pomegranate, it’s not too late to try.

A．One taste turned me into a lifelong fan just like that.

B．I had thought it’s a bunch of soft and juicy little seeds.

C．The branches were overhanging with the fruit every fall.

D．My husband still attempted to persuade me to take a bite.

E．It’s the season’s finest freshly squeezed juice from the fruit.

F．The healing properties of the fruit I experienced added to its charm.

G．That was the same taste I had come to treasure about pomegranate juice.

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。

Ms Hart stood in front of her class on the very first day of school and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students, saying that she loved them all the same, treating them all alike. And that was impossible because there in front of her, right on the third row, was a little boy named George.

Ms Hart had watched George the year before and noticed he was seldom engaged in school games, that he always wore torn dusty clothes and that he constantly needed a bath. As a whole, George was unpleasant.

When Ms Hart was required to review each child’s records, she put George’s off until last. But his file turned out a surprise. His first-grade teacher wrote, “George is a bright child with a ready augh. He is a joy to be around.”

Another teacher wrote, “George is an excellent student well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle.” The next wrote. “George continues to work hard but his mother’s death has been hard on him. Since his father doesn’t show much interest, his home life will soon, affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

The last record wrote, “George is silent and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class. He could become a problem.”

By now Ms Hart realized the problem and Christmas was coming fast. Her children brought her presents, all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper, except for George’s, which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper of a scissored grocery bag. Ms Hart took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a toy bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume. She stopped the children’s laughter when she declared how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and wearing some of the perfume behind the other wrist.

George stayed behind just long enough to say, “Ms Hart, today you smelled just like my mom used to.”

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。

After George left, Ms Hart decided to care for him like a mother.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many years later Ms Hart attended George’s wedding, wearing the very bracelet he gave her.
