21、   One day, I was taking a nap in the red chair in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash. I sat up and looked, immediately, out my window. Across the street, in a parking lot, a car had just backed into a chain-link fence. The car must have been moving fast, because it was in bad shape: Its hood had popped up. The fence was damaged, bent out in exactly the shape of the car’s back end.

I watched the driver get out of the car. He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair. I disliked him immediately. After a few seconds of assessing the damage, he attempted to pull the ruined fence back into place, but it wouldn’t move. He tried to push the fallen piece of bumper back onto his car, but that only made the rest of his bumper fall off too.

I sat in my red chair, looking out my window, silently cheering. I think I laughed out loud. This was a ridiculous masterpiece. He climbed out from under the collapsed fence and limped back to the apartment building above the lot, rubbing his elbow. The man—that disgusting man—was going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to clean up.

But the man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fence’s bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青). For the next hour, I watched out my window as he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it. Now the fence would be extra secure, stronger than before, impossible to damage.

This strange man was actually a hero. I was the lazy one, with my kneejerk (应激反应) judgments, my superiority (优越感) from three stories up. My ugly assumptions, I realized, were all about myself. I would never have fixed that fence; I would have panicked and run away.

Years later, I still look out my window at that fence almost every day. It still looks brand new, It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him.

【1】Why did the driver leave a bad first impression on the writer?

A.Because he badly damaged the fence.

B.Because he acted rudely and impolitely.

C.Because he escaped and left the mess to others.

D.Because he had a strange appearance and dressed casually.

【2】The last two paragraphs tell us that ________.

A.if the writer were the driver, he thought he would do better

B.the writer gave a quick judgment from his previous experiences

C.the driver acted like a hero and had a great influence on the writer

D.the writer looks out his window often and expects to see the driver again

【3】Which of the following words can best describe the driver?

A.Rude but honest. B.Lazy but strong-minded.

C.Impatient but generous. D.Ordinary-looking but responsible.

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

A.Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

B.One’s Thinking Directs One’s Actions

C.Treat Other People As You Hope They Will Treat You

D.The Environment Depends on What You Think in You Mind

22、   Cool Butterfly Effect: Insect Equipment Could Inspire Heat-Radiating Tech

Devising better cooling materials has become a pressing issue as the climate warms, and some scientists are turning to nature for ideas. Small creatures with low body mass, such as insects, have to deal with the fact that they warm up much faster than large mammals. When butterflies land on tree branches in the sun, for example, their relatively large wings can overheat within seconds.

【1】 Researchers have now uncovered these colorful insects' built-in cooling mechanisms.

Heat is generated by the vibration of molecules. The more molecules a material can expose on its surface, the more heat it can release in a process called radiative cooling. Those made of folded layers shaped like waves, for example, cool off much faster than solid objects because they have more exposed surface area. 【2】 The wings themselves are complex systems that contain both living and nonliving structures, covered by various types of scales made of chitin—a rigid substance that is also found in some fungi(真菌). The researchers found that the scales covering these structures have different shapes that radiate heat in different ways. 【3】

The scientists' work is 'remarkable', says Aaswath Raman, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. '【4】 Butterfly wings are extremely light, and the microstructures involved are extremely small and thin. So this discovery can inspire ways of getting rid of heat in very lightweight systems. '

【5】 It might work in a variety of colors. Many conventional buildings tend to be white because that it does not absorb heat. But painting too many things white does not look pleasing, says Qiaoqiang Gan, a photonics scientist. 'We still need a colorful world, ' Gan says, noting how vivid butterflies are in nature. 'Butterfly wings give us an example that colorful structures can also result in cooling. '

A.So they have evolved sophisticated ways to cool themselves.

B.We can make these microstructures into our own artificial processes.

C.It turns out that parts of butterflies' wings exploit a similar principle.

D.To decipher how these complex systems work, the team studied several types of butterflies

E.Such structures release warmth very efficiently, protecting the organs from overheating.

F.Along with its light weight, a butterfly-inspired cooling material might have another advantage.

G.Although far from a commercial application, such resulting material could eventually be used for purposes such as painting buildings.

24、   “Mommy, will you play this with me?” My two-year-old daughter sat next to a mountain of laundry baskets. She held a toy in her hand. I looked at her, and then I stared down a pile of dirty clothes - enough, already. I thought of some popular phrases among moms I had read countless times on the Internet. “Days are long but the years fly by.” “A messy house is a happy house.” “Hard work pays off.” I become energetic every time the phrases pass through my mind.

Sometimes, the laundry just needed to get done. I stared straight into my daughter’s pleading eyes.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I cannot play right now. Mom is really busy.” Suddenly, an idea passed through my brain. I must do the housework! And that would not make me a bad mom!

Quite the opposite, I thought.

It’s okay to clean, to cook, or to spend a morning paying bills, making phone calls and folding towels. That’s what grown-ups do. And how else will our kids learn unless we demonstrate? Recently, I read an article about a local family. It was a diary of their typical week, written by the father of six children. Each day consisted of cooking and family devotions. The grandkids ran in the barn while the older children milked cows, and everyone helped make pies for the family bakery business. They were all faithfully devoted to one another as they worked side by side from dawn to dusk.

Could it be that the real call on a family is not for the parents to serve the children, but for everyone to serve each other for a greater purpose? Sometimes we work, and sometimes we play. Strong families are built with both.

“Sweetie, I have a great idea.” I set my daughter’s game on the table and held her hands. “You can help me put these clothes in the wash. Doesn’t that sound fun?” Her face lit up. “Can I push the buttons, too?” “Absolutely, you are a good button pusher.” “Yeah,” she said as if I had just asked her to play.

【1】According to the writer, the popular phrases.

A．persuade the moms to enjoy their lives.

B．encourage and comfort the exhausted moms.

C．tell the moms the real meaning of life.

D．make the moms become more knowledgeable.

【2】What did the writer learn from the diary?

A．Interest should be developed at a young age.

B．It is really hard to take good care of children.

C．Children should be taught to contribute to families.

D．Parents are responsible for keeping family in harmony.

【3】How did the daughter feel when she was asked to do some housework?

A．Worried and scared.

B．Thankful and touched.

C．Excited and interested.

D．Disappointed and upset.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Enjoying a messy house.

B．Playing toys with my kid.

C．Making dreams come true.

D．Doing the laundry together.

25、In my family, Norooz—the Persian New Year—has always been the most important day of the year. My mom starts _________ it a whole month ahead. It means making and enjoying _________ prepared dishes with the people I love, the smell of freshly chopped herbs and fried onion, the sound of water pouring into a bowl for rice washing, and the _________ of fingers moving fast to fill pastries (油酥糕点)with nuts.

When I met my husband, Kyle, I told him _________ about Norooz, from the food we prepare to the activities we organize. Kyle now loves Norooz as much as I do, and that’s a(n) _________. After marrying him and _________ to the United States, I knew we had to _________ a way to be with my family every year for the _________.

The only way for me to be with my parents is for all of us to _________ in Istanbul. It’s not easy or __________, but we’ll do it, because, for us, Norooz is sacred(神圣的), and nothing can __________ family. Since moving to the United States, I’ve broken many __________, but this is one I’d never break.

Every year, around the second week of March, my heart starts beating faster. Kyle and I sort out our Norooz plans and start __________ and when I get on the plane to Istanbul, my heart feels so full and __________, knowing that I’ll get to spend yet another Persian New Year with my __________ and show Kyle how these days are about __________, hope, and new beginnings.
