21、   Earlier this year when the summer heatwave was in full swing, most people were dreaming of the cooler autumn temperatures. But for those who love the summer weather, the winter colder temperatures and dreary weather are anything but welcome. The good news? There are some brilliant winter sun destinations you can escape to for glorious pleasant weather and warm sunshine.

Dubai

During the winter months the city still boasts temperatures around 26°C, perfect if you plan to make the most of the city’s beaches. However, it’s not so hot that you can’t enjoy most of the things to see and do in Dubai, from the theme parks to epic malls such as the Burj Khalifa.

Planning to make the most of the attractions? It’s worth looking into a Dubai Pass where you could save up to 50% off a host of the top must-see sights.

Thailand

The best time to visit Thailand is between November to January when it’s a dry season and the temperatures are pleasant. The country is filled with epic sights and attractions.

Fancy a city break? Head to Bangkok where glorious temples, floating markets and incredible food festivals await. Or of course you could spend a few days making the most of Thailand’s most beautiful sea sands.

Cape Verde

Sal Island is one of the main tourist spots in the country. Cape Verde is well-known for offering up a relaxing holiday; and with 10 islands to explore, there’s still ample opportunity to have an adventure or two.

However, if you only visit one spot, make it the beautiful Sal Island. It tends to be a hit with holidaymakers thanks to the white sand beaches and crystalline waters that make up its shores.

Barbados

If the idea of a snowy Christmas break doesn’t appeal, then Barbados could make for a once-in-a-lifetime festive season.

December temperatures can be around 28°C, meaning you’ll have heaps of hot weather and sunshine and of course Barbados beaches are the ideal spot to enjoy them.

【1】What’s the purpose of this passage?

A.To provide warm destinations for winter. B.To compare four foreign tourist spots.

C.To offer advice on traveling abroad. D.To help escape from the hot weather.

【2】What could be the best choice for food lovers?

A.Dubai. B.Thailand.

C.Cape Verde. D.Barbados.

【3】What do the attractions have in common?

A.They offer tourists sights on a budget. B.A variety of food is supplied for tourists.

C.They recommend some shopping centers. D.Travelers can go for relaxation on seashore.

22、Even though I was no skater, I’d always considered Rochester to be a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Despite being a place missing some of the pleasures awarded to big-name cities like New York or Chicago, Rochester developed a do-it-yourself attitude in the pursuit of having fun. 【1】

When I noticed a skate park was being built under the highway on-ramp (匝道)downtown, I was excited ——not because a skate park is a perfect setting to facilitate the DIY charm of Rochester, acting as a sort of melting pot for people of all walks of life to bond together. 【2】 I wanted to not only take a closer look at its physical design but also the sort of crowds it attracted.

【3】Totally clear of any litter, the half pipes, grind rails, and bowls were designed with a consistent blue and yellow color scheme. There were even multicolored rows of tile (瓦片)that lined the top edge of the park’s bowls.

After taking some beautiful photos of the park, I began chatting with Vazquez, manager of the skatepark. 【4】 “Look at all these people. So many people come here to skate. No matter the color of your skin, or your beliefs, everyone is brought together here by skating”, he said . 【5】 While I was walking back over the pavement, the ground under my feet seemed to have a pulse: life’s heartbeat could be found at this park.

A．I took a fancy to skating at an early age.

B．He was believed to be a top-level skater.

C．So, I decided to visit the skatepark for the first time.

D．He enthusiastically and proudly shared something with me.

E．I was struck by how much care went into the park’s repair and design.

F．Soon after my conversation with Vazquez was over, I headed to my car.

G．That breathed unique life into the city and gave it a special Rochester flavor.

23、   The preventive measures for forest fires include some preemptive(抢先)methods that can help reduce the risks of fires and control their severity and spread, and thus, maintain ecological balance and protect resources. Close monitoring of forest fires caused by natural factors can help prevent their spread to a large extent. To contain forest fires, fire departments usually use water and chemical fire retardants(抑制剂) that can be dropped from planes and helicopters. To control the spread of a wildfire, firefighters usually create a control line by removing all fuel from an area so that the fire cannot travel across it.

Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel buildup, and clean up the fallen leaves, and thus, prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area. Regular controlled burns can also help maintain biodiversity(生物多样性), as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate(促进) the growth of seeds of certain plant species. Apart from these, responsible human behavior can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent. In fact, we can reduce the number of wildfires dramatically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest.

Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent, besides causing severe damage to valuable trees. Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases(water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc), and therefore increase pollution and global warming. However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction. But large wildfires can cause extensive damage to the ecosystem, which again highlights the importance of effective control and prevention of forest fires.

【1】What may be the best title for this passage?

A.Control and Prevention of Forest Fires B.How to Keep Ecological Balance

C.Effects of Forest Fires D.Methods of Fire Spread Control

【2】Firefighters get rid of all fuel in all area in order to ____________．

A.keep close monitoring of forest fires B.prevent the forest fire from occurring

C.protect the animals there D.stop the wildfire from spreading

【3】The government arranges some controlled burns to_______________．

A.burn the rubbish and keep the forest clean

B.help keep ecological balance of nature

C.reduce fuel building up and limit forest fires spread.

D.provide reasonable conditions for some plants’ growth.

【4】A controlled forest fire may play a positive role because ________________.

A.a new forest will appear soon.

B.it promotes the development of some seeds

C.nature keeps its balance only by wildfires.

D.it makes the trees grow faster than before.

24、   When salmon （大马哈鱼）and steelhead don't get the cold water they need, it costs them more energy to survive. Their reproductive success can be reduced and they become more vulnerable to disease. "And in the worst case, when water temperatures get too high, it can lead to death, says Joseph Bogaard, executive director of the Seattle-based nonprofit Save Our wild Salmon Coalition.

That's what happened in the hot summer of 2015, when temperatures all over the Northwest rose quickly and about 250,000 adult sockeye salmon died in the Columbia River Basin. Many scientists refer to that year as a dress rehearsal for climate change. The clear trend is rising water temperatures and falling returns of endangered salmon. Bogaard says the water temperatures routinely rise above 68 degrees.

Bogaard says that 2015 dress rehearsal scientists refer to will only get worse." Those kinds of conditions are unusual, but they're becoming more common and they're going to become more frequent as we move forward. “He says the Environmental Protection Agency has a model showing dam removal and restoration of the rivers would bring the temperatures down on all but a few days a year. But after 20 years of planning, no federal agencies have taken that advice. Conservation groups appealed and last October, a judge ordered the EPA to take action, mentioning the hot water as violation of the Clean Water Act.

Advocates say dam removal is the only real option to keep endangered fish from going extinct. Many communities near the dams disagree and are concerned about economic impacts if they're taken down.

Save Our Wild Salmon is pressing the governors and members of congress from Washington, Oregon and Idaho to find ways to take action.

【1】Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

A.Lack of enough cold water will make salmon less energetic.

B.High temperature can be beneficial to salmon's productive success.

C.High temperature will result in salmon's immediate death.

D.Lack of cold water will make salmon easier to fall ill.

【2】What does the underlined expression "a dress rehearsal" mean?

A.The sign indicating more fish will die due to high water temperatures.

B.The final practice of a show that will be in the performance soon.

C.The trend that water temperatures will rise above 68 degree.

D.The condition that increasing water temperatures are unusual.

【3】The obstacle to getting the dams removed is________.

A.that it will influence the economy near many communities.

B.that there are other better ways to save the endangered fish.

C.that many people near the dams refuse to accept the option.

D.that the governors and congress members oppose the solution.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Water temperatures are increasing.

B.The urge to save fish from hot water.

C.Dam removal can surely save fish.

D.Fish are dying out in Columbia.

25、   When 10-year-old Romeo Cox realized what he wanted more than anything else was a hug from his 77-year-old grandmother, he decided to make the journey. He did not let the 1,7000-mile distance and the fact that there were no flights _______ him.

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。

I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry, “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem! Wonderful!” My eyes twinkled when she poured out her praise. “What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him, expecting the praise from an editor in chief of Times.

I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his arrival. First, I wrote the poem out to the best of my ability. Then I drew pictures to match this greatest poem. As seven o’clock drew near, I confidently placed it on my father’s plate on the dining-room table, waiting for him to appreciate this wonderful poem of mine.

This evening when my father burst in, his mood seemed even more thunderous than usual. An hour late for dinner, he could not sit down but circled the long dining room table with a drink in his hand, complaining nonstop about his employees. Under my steady gaze, he paused and glared at his plate. There was an awful silence. “What’s this?” He reached for the paper and read it. Then he dropped the poem back on the table, saying “Awful”. My eyes were getting wet.

“Ben, Buddy is just a little boy. These are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written. He needs encouragement,” my mother said. But my father disagreed, “Isn’t there enough terrible poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.” They quarreled over it. I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. A sad story, but you know, the family wounds healed. My mother began talking to my father again. I even began writing poems again, though I seldom exposed them to my father.

注意：

1. 写作词数应为150左右；

A few years later I tried something new, a short story.

One day after the success, the true meaning of “awful” dawned on me.
