21、Dad had a green comb (梳子）.He bought it when he married Mum. Every night，he would hand me his comb and say. “Good girl, help Daddy clean it, OK?”

I was pleased to do it. At age five, this dull(无趣的) task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap (水龙头)on and brush the comb carefully. Satisfied that I'd done a good job. I would happily return the comb to Dad. He would smile affectionately (亲切地）at me and place the comb on his wallet.

Two years later. Dad started his own business, which wasn't doing so well. That was when things started to change. Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to. Mum and I became mad with him for placing our family in trouble. With time, an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back on track. On my 28th birthday. Dad came home early. As usual I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said," Hey, would you help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while，then took the comb and headed to the sink.

It hit me then: why, as a child, helping Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. That routine (习惯) meant Dad was home early to spend the evening with Mum and me. It meant a happy and loving family.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He smiled at me and carefully placed his comb on his wallet. But this time, I noticed something different. Dad had aged. He had wrinkles(皱纹）next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before, the smile of a father who just wanted a good life for his family.

【1】Why was the author pleased to clean the comb?

A. Because her father forced her to do.

B. Because others things were dull.

C. Because cleaning the comb could make her happy.

【3】It occurred to the author that helping Dad cleaning the comb meant______.

A. she could play with water

B. she could spend more time with her father

A. the author understood what Dad did was actually for the family

B. Dad wasn't satisfied with what the author did

C. the author didn't clean the comb carefully

D. Dad didn't like smiling before

22、Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.

How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load.

Do children need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack, make sure that parents get a model that’s designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.

Are children going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the  top of the line and the best backpack in the market.

Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets, and generally, the more pockets, the better. This allows children to organize their things, like pens and pencils inside small pockets.

Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise (折中）between form, function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children’s needs.

【1】What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Parents should find out how many books their children have.

B. Parents must ask teachers for help before buying a backpack.

23、   The world’s first telephone call — “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you” — was a request for a face-to-face meeting. In Brantford, the “Telephone City”, there’s a giant memorial to Alexander Graham Bell that includes a bronze casting with figures meant to represent Knowledge, Joy and Sorrow — the information spread by the telephone.

Today maybe we should have a bit of sorrow for the weakening of the personal connections developed by Bell’s great invention. We own more “phones” than ever, but we don’t use them primarily for voice calls. In 2010 Americans spent 2.24 trillion minutes talking on their mobile devices — which averages out to 7, 813 minutes per mobile line. By 2017 that had dropped to just 5, 539 minutes per line. That’s still 18 minutes per person per day, but it’s a small part of the five hours a day we spend doing other things on our phones: watching videos, browsing Twitter and Facebook, sending text messages, — and all the rest.

So what leads to the fall-off in voice communication? One is digital data. We consumed 28.6 trillion megabytes of data on our phones in 2018, a dramatic 82 percent increase over 2017 levels. The other is robocalls (机器人电话) . YouMail, which makes a robocall-blocking app, says that 4.7 billion calls were placed to U.S. phone numbers in July 2019 alone. My own phone shows that I got 36 robocalls that month — so many that I’ve ignored all strange calls.

Then, what’s lost when texts and posts replace conversation? Briefly put, it is Joy and Sorrow: the emotional content conveyed by the human voice. Without this real-time engagement, we’re left only with Knowledge, which, as the past few years have shown, is so easily misrepresented. Our telephones may have evolved into machines for 24/7 tweeting and texting, but we’re more alone than ever.

【1】Why does the author mention Alexander Graham Bell in paragraph 1?

A．To attract the readers to the topic.

B．To introduce the city of Brantford.

C．To emphasize the contribution of Bell.

D．To show the importance of the first call.

【2】What is the reason for the fall of telephone communication?

A．The application of YouMail.

B．The ignorance of all the calls.

C．The breakdown of the telephone system.

D．The increasing consumption of digital data.

【3】How does the author mainly support the theme of the passage?

A．By giving examples.

B．By quoting others’ words.

C．By providing statistical data.

D．By providing research results.

【4】Which of the following can serve as the best title?

A．The Evolution of Telephones

B．The Emotion Conveyed by Telephones

C．The Fall-off of Talking on the Phone

D．The Weakening of Personal Communication

24、Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades.

The specialization covers aspects of international taxes, accounts, budgeting and so on. People in this field are well-paid, and growth prospects are unlimited.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

With the rise of urbanism (城市化), and the attraction of video games and social media, contact with nature is much rarer than in the past. For many, there is simply no opportunity to get muddy. Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt.

Many of the psychological benefits of outdoor play are already well established. Our brains evolved in natural landscapes. This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation, which is thought to help recharge the brain when it is tired and easily unfocused. Supporting this theory, one study from 2009 found that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (注意力缺陷多动症) were better able to concentrate following a 20-minute walk in the park, compared to a 20-minute walk on the streets of a well-kept urban area. Being close to grass and trees seemed to have had a beneficial effect on their minds. The authors recommended using such “doses of nature” as a safe and accessible way of supporting children with ADHD, alongside other tools.

Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of shaping and stretching materials like mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interact, known as sensorimotor (感觉运动) development, according to the scientists at the University of Palermo, Italy. This allows the child to gradually understand his or her bodily signals.

Given the known psychological benefits, many day-care centers and schools are already encouraging greater contact with nature: outdoor lessons, regular nature walks and the construction of mud kitchens that encourage children to play in the dirt.
