21、   When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled by knocks and words. He used to come downstairs to breakfast.

The morning paper lay beside his plate. He always read the “Deaths” first, and then he knocked once on the table. One of my sisters brought his bread, already buttered for him. Usually he said nothing, but once I heard him say, “I love you very much, Edith. I would love more if you buttered my bread on both sides.” He read the paper all through breakfast.

Two knocks on the table meant “I am ready for my tea. “If a single knock followed that meant, “More bread, please.”

Another girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. “Handkerchief,pipe.” They were brought and put, with his tobacco, into his pocket. He looked out of the window and said either “Walking stick” or “Umbrella”. It was handed to him. Ready now, he was still reading the paper. He didn’t put it down until he heard the shout “Bus coming!” Then he kissed my mother and went out. The girls breathed freely.

23、In his lifetime La Tour must have been one of the most admired painters, who was on close terms with courts in Lorraine and Paris and became the King’s Painter to Louis XIII in 1639. However, not many of his works survived. These can be divided into his early “day pieces”, and the later “night pieces”. His sometimes direct realism and unflattering (不恭维的) presentation of the miserable subjects does not at all mean a sympathetic attitude to the socially disadvantaged of the day, on the contrary, issues of this kind were intended to amuse high society, who enjoyed decorating the walls of their homes with such melodramatic scenes. La Tour, affected by Caravaggio, painted various scenes of gambling. In Cheater with the Ace of Diamonds, an inexperienced, wealthy and well-dressed young man is being cheated at cards in the dishonest company of a courtesan (交际花) with her lover and a servant girl. Wine and the promise of love adventure have made the young dandy (好打扮的男人) so light-headed that he does not notice the apparent trick of an ace being drawn from his opponent’s belt.

Most of the paintings by La Tour we have at our disposal the art historians date after 1640. In these works La Tour is captivated with lightning effects which create sharp outlines. This fascination with light brought him great success in his day. However, he was completely forgotten after his death, only to be rediscovered in our own day. La Tour is an example of how artists can pass in and out of favor of the public.

【1】Why did La Tour present the socially disadvantaged in his works?

A．To show sympathy for them

B．To amuse people of high society

C．To show how miserable his subjects are

D．To decorate the walls of rich people’s homes

【2】What do we know about Cheater with the Ace of Diamonds?

A．It shows a gambling scene

B．It has lightning effects

C．It bears no influence of other painters

D．It is about love between a young man and a courtesan

【3】What does the underlined word captivated probably mean?

A．concerned

B．satisfied

C．connected

D．fascinated

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．La Tour wasn’t admired in his day

B．La Tour became The King’s Painter in 1639

C．La Tour didn’t always win favor of the public

D．Most of La Tour’s works were created after 1640

24、   Globally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we’re based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time, many people didn’t want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.

Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's "cool". It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.

Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment, we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops as viable alternatives. For example, Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones.

Are there any challenges? Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact, the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.

【1】What matters most in taking advantage of rooftops?

A．One's own mindset(心态)

B．Geographic location

C．Commercial values

D．Individual support

【2】What does the underlined word "viable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Flexible

B．Specific

C．Practical

D．Multiple

【3】What will be mentioned after the last paragraph?

A．What to do with trial and error

B．Reasons for building rooftop projects

C．How to solve the mentioned challenges

D．Obstacles in the course of urban development.

【4】The text is mainly written to_________

A．advise people to start rooftop projects

B．present benefits of rooftop-based economies

C．offer solutions to long-term city development

D．introduce rooftop projects in Belfast

25、   As is much quoted by many there's no scenery where we have long lived.

26、阅读下面文章，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整短文，续写词数应为150左右。

My July vacation began with a scream. "Lora!” I woke, my eyelids snapping open. I realized that my four-year-old sister, Jenny, was staring at me. I struggled to push her away from me as she jumped on my legs. She screamed and then ran out of my room.

It was as if Jenny never did anything wrong. If Jenny got angry, Mom would say she was trying to get her point across. When Jenny broke a plate, Dad said she was just "helping" me empty the dishwasher. When Jenny scattered flour all over the floor, instead of scolding her, my parents laughed and said, "She's turning into a baker just like you, Lora.”

We were flying to Utah to visit my grandma for the third July. Every year I prepared gifts for her birthday, but I sighed as I considered what to prepare this time. When we walked off the plane, I was relieved to see the smiling face of my grandma. We raced over to her.

“Hi, sweet heart.” Grandma went down on one knee to hug Jenny and then swung her in the air. Jenny screamed with laughter. Then Grandma hugged me. "It's also good to see you, Lora.”

After six hours of flight, I had a little headache. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside to take a walk and search for a birthday gift. Wandering on the street, I happened to see a bakery. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me, “Why not make a birthday cake by myself?” I was so excited that I immediately ran into the bakery told the baker my purpose and he permitted me to make a cake by myself

I tried my best to make a perfect cake for my grandma's birthday. When I just finished, Mom called me for dinner. I went back home in a hurry and hid my cake in the bedroom. When I walked back into the room after dinner, my heart stopped. Jenny was lying on the bed, with a lot of cream on her face. Seeing me frozen in the doorway, she jumped from the bed. She ran over to me and said, “The cream is so delicious?"

“Out!” I screamed angrily, and she ran out of the room. I ran over to the cake and the pattern on the cake was destroyed just as I'd feared.

Paragraph 1:

Mom appeared in the doorway with Jenny by her side,.

Paragraph 2:

Suddenly, I came up with an idea to solve the cake problem and improve my relationship with my sister .
