22、In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential(潜能)to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.

American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults.

As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What’s more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.

As a rule, Chinese parents don’t educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.

Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.

【1】From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to ________.

A. the social skills than Chinese parents

B. their children’s studying hard and well

C. what their children want but they can’t

D. extra activities than schoolwork

【2】According to the passage, Chinese parents ________.

A. know more than American parents to educate their children

B. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and important

C. pay much more attention to their children’s fine future

D. don’t encourage their children to participate in extra activities

【3】From the passage, we can infer _______.

A. American children are brave and adventurous

B. American children are more active in their studies

C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively

D. Something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China

【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards Chinese education reform?

A. Neutral.   B. Indifferent.

C. Positive.   D. Negative.

23、Treasure Hunt Through Modern-Day Ruins

Urban exploration of abandoned man-made structures became popular in the 1990s when modern society was fast forwarding into the next century. Left behind were relics of human civilization. Far away from modernization, rusted in air, tangled in weeds and vines, ruins tell forgotten tales and sometimes become history in and of themselves.

Punch Buggy Scrapyard

MOAB, UTAH

Vintage car lovers won’t want to miss this huge car disposal yard, the impressive open-air TomTom’s Volkswagen graveyard-a father-and-son cooperation begun in 1961 with eight cars. From buses to Beetles to Karmann Ghias to Squarebacks, hundreds of cars, car windows, doors and tires form a rainbow colored fleet contrasting with the dry yellow ground.

Game of Thrones’ End

KUPARI, CROATIA

Six miles east of Dubrovnik, one of the main filming locations of the hit series Game of Thrones’ King’s Landing, is a bay of abandoned hotels that witnessed Croatia’s real power play. It was once a seaside resort for the military elite before the Yugoslav army destroyed it during the Croatian War in the 1990s. What exists today at the complex of former glory are overgrown weeds, graffiti and rusty remains.

Once Upon a Gold

ATHENS

Stadiums that once housed tears and sweat, cheers and boos during the 2004 Olympic games are now left for weeds. The beach volleyball arena, aquatics center and other venues were abandoned because of little local interest and lack of planning when the $15 billion grand building was being erected.

Twining Romance

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

Nearly a century ago, Spanish sugarcane cutter José Paronella wanted to build a castle in the rainforest for his wife. The resulting wonderland-Paronella Park-with vines twining on stone pillars and moss peeping out from cracks has been open to the public since 1935.

24、What is the purpose of lightning? The new study published at the end of April in Science found that lightning may play a bigger role in global climate change than was previously known by the scientific community.

Many are familiar with the potentially deadly dangers posed by lightning, which is blamed for an average of 43 deaths in the United States each year, based on data from 1989 to 2018. Although the odds of being struck are quite low-1 in 1, 222, 000 in a given year and 1 in 15, 300 in a lifetime many in the weather community have long urged people to take proper precautions to stay safe in storms. However, the researchers recently uncovered a surprising and beneficial impact of lightning.

The study, which included contributions from nine atmospheric researchers across a dozen universities, was based on an airborne research flight conducted by a NASA DC-8 storm-chasing plane in 2012. Researchers initially thought there was a problem with the equipment on the plane, which was being used to measure the hydroxyl radicals (羟基自由基) in the atmosphere until they realized increases they observed corresponded with lightning flashes, ABC News reported.

Hydroxyl radicals, described as a “chemical scavenger (清洗剂) ” by Science Direct, are important chemical compounds found in the atmosphere due to the reactive nature with other organic molecules (分子). Researchers previously understood that lightning could help to clean the atmosphere, but there was no evidence that it could generate compounds like these radicals. “No one has seen that much in the atmosphere from natural processes, ever,” Brune said. As a result, the study estimates that somewhere between 2% and 16% of the oxidizing (氧化), or cleaning that happens naturally in the Earth’s atmosphere, is done by lightning.

Why is this significant? The oxidation process helps to reduce chemicals like carbon monoxide and methane in the atmosphere. These chemicals, known for being greenhouse gases, have been proven to contribute to rising temperatures associated with climate change. Researchers say that more studies will need to be conducted to verify the degree to which lightning contributes to the fight against global climate change.

【1】What do the statistics in Para 2 tell us about lightning?

A．It threatens human lives.

B．It can only harm people.

C．It is a strange phenomenon.

D．It happens quite frequently.

【2】What led to the new discovery in the text?

A．The equipment failure on the storm-chasing plane.

B．The increase of Hydroxyl radicals during lightning.

C．The lightning flashes observed by the research team.

D．The airborne research conducted by NASA scientists.

【3】How does Brune feel about the finding?

A．Doubtful.

B．Amazed.

C．Frustrated.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Hydroxyl radicals clean the atmosphere.

B．Oxidizing is a natural result of lightning.

C．Lightning may help address climate change.

D．Greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperature.

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。

Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Twisted in a fallen tree, it looked like litter. As Alvin approached, he saw that the object was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.

“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll, puppy. With love, Luna.”

Alvin’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario（场景）.He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he decided to make Luna＇s wish come true too. Given the distance of more than 650 miles from Grand Cane to Liberal, Alvin followed the advice from his wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, and posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.

Meanwhile, Leticia Flores-Gonzalez, the mother of four-year-old Luna and her twin sister, Gianella, had no idea that such an effort was underway. It had been a hard year for Leticia and her girls. As COVID-19 spread, the family felt lonely, scared, and isolated, with no relatives living nearby.

On a particularly tough day last December, Leticia had come up with the idea of having the girls send letters to Santa by balloon. She told them that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on his sled. The twins were excited. Leticia helped them write down all the things that they dreamed Santa might bring them, and put the notes into Christmas red balloons. Then she took them outside to release their wishes to the universe on the chilly windy morning.

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。

One day in January, a friend called Leticia and said, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.”
