21、 What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera? There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colorful images featuring their favorite people, places and things. Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love,” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators (馆长) who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective (视角) showing a different story than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated (协调) the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.
A curator is someone who collects, organizes, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their photos according to different themes.
【1】What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition?
A.It promoted the students’ interest in museum management.

【3】What are the four curators required to do for the project?
A.Decorate the photographs on display.
B.Study professional photography skills.
C.Find fault with the submitted photos.
D.Group the photographs by theme.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

C.Photograph your life D.Admire your city
22、 If you live in a desert, maintaining a supply of fresh water is a challenge. Even in inland deserts, though, water is often present in the air as vapour. The problem is how to obtain this vapour effectively and cheaply. And that is what the researchers of the University of Connecticut hope they have managed to do.
Whether water can be got from the air depends on the air's relative humidity(湿度). A good way to get air to give up some of its water is to cool it to the point where its relative humidity is 100%. Sometimes this happens naturally at night, causing mist and dew to form. These can be collected in special traps in areas where liquid water is rare. But if night cooling does not bring air all the way up to 100%relative humidity, building water traps out of special materials might give nature a helping hand.
Adsorption(吸附法)is a process which picks water molecules(分子)from the air that has less than 100%relative humidity by attaching them to the surface of a solid material. The molecules are held there by electrostatic connections called Van der Waals forces.
To collect a lot of water in this way requires a material that has two properties. One is a large surface area. The other is an appropriate Van der Waals response. Experimental traps that employ this principle have been made using substances called metal-organic frameworks.
These are porous(多孔的)molecular networks through which the air can circulate. Their porosity gives them a huge surface area. And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals properties. This way works, but the technology is costly because of zirconium.
【1】How can people get water from the air?
A.By reducing the air's temperature.
B.By using any trap in inland deserts.
C.By using a kind of soft materials.
D.By reducing the air's relative humidity.
【2】What's the key when we use adsorption to collect water?
A.Enough air molecules.
B.Normal temperature.
C.Metal-organic frameworks.
D.Some experimental tools.
【3】What can we know about adsorption from the text?
A.It is easy to learn.
B.It has been used widely.
C.It is refused by experts.
D.It has a disadvantage.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Come to save water in deserts
B.Challenges of living in a desert.
C.Fresh water supply in deserts
D.The air's relative humidity in deserts.
23、The benefits of outdoor play are fairly well-understood by parents. 【1】. As a mother to three energetic children who spend considerable amounts of time outdoors, I have figured out some good ways to maximize outdoor playtime. I’d like to share some of my advice with readers who might be struggling with this.
【2】. If you start viewing daily outdoor play as being as important as a meal or a good night’s sleep, you’ll start to find more time for it. Think of it as nonnegotiable; no extra things should happen until outdoor playtime has been checked off the list.
Replace organized activities with unorganized ones. Instead of packing your after-school calendar with sports training and interest classess, cancel those for at least several times a week and just tell your kids they can play outside instead.【3】.
Mandate (强制规定) outdoor family time on weekends. My family goes cross-country skiing every single Saturday morning in winter.【4】, even when the temperature drops to -20℃. This time is fiercely protected because of the benefits it has for all of us-exercise, fresh air, satisfaction and family bonding.
Go outdoors with your kids. If you go outside, younger ones in particular will want to be there, too. Make it fun by lighting a campfire in the backyard or setting up a camp stove to make hot chocolate. Or you can have a picnic or work in a garden together.【5】; you can be present without being engaged.
A.We never skip it
B.Start thinking of it as a necessity
C.We adjust the skiing routine accordingly
D.List special activities for outdoor playtime
E.These unexpected arrangements will surely excite your kids
F.You can even just sit and read a book while your kids play nearby
G.However, it’s hard for many parents to fit outdoor playtime into their kids’ days

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。
Sigrid finished milking the cow and stepped out of the barn into the cold air. It was almost summer, but icebergs still filled the narrow sea. She set the bucket down, only to find that the milk reached merely halfway to the top. If we don't get more food soon, she thought anxiously, we will have to eat the cow. And then what will we do?
Grandfather used to tell her that when their Norse ancestors first came to Greenland, the fields were rich with grass. But in recent years, the climate has been getting colder and the summers shorter. When her grandfather was a little boy, there were as many as fifteen cows in the family's barn. Now there is just one. And the family has barely enough hay to feed it.
A gust of wind sending a chill down her spine, Sigrid stuffed her hands into the pockets to warm them. Her fingers felt her most prized possession, a piece of red cloth she'd had since she was a small girl. She took the cloth out of her pocket and let it unfold. It was barely longer than her arm. But its brilliant colour was bright against the stark(荒凉的) landscape. The cloth had once been part of a dress—in happier, more prosperous times. Nobody dresses like that anymore.
With ice-filled seas, ships no longer arrive with foods and goods to trade. All of a sudden, movement on the water caught Sigrid's eye. A light boat moved silently between the icebergs. An Inuk boy, about Sigrid's age, was looking her way, staring at the red cloth fluttering(飘动) in the breeze. A hunting weapon was tied to the front of his boat. And dragging behind it was a large fish. Sigrid knew there had been fights between the Inuit and the Norse. But the boy had a kind face and did not reach for his weapon.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

She couldn't help but wonder what to do.
