21、Thirty years ago I worked in a company. My job was to sell the cars. I was young and strong and I had been to most parts of the world and I spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. I liked such a life and sometimes I called myself “traveler”.

But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage had to be examined.

22、Are you interested in country music? I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.

Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple.

Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.

The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.

When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song Take Me Home, Country Roads is well­known and people still play it today.

23、   A global group of scientists have reduced the time it takes to find and introduce disease-resistance genes from wild plants into domestic crops such as rice, wheat and potato, a research revealed on Tuesday.

Scientists from the John Innes Center in Britain, along with colleagues from Australia and the United States, have created a database known as AgRenSeq, where researchers can easily search for resistance genes already discovered in wild relatives of modern crops.

The study was co-authored by a global expert Professor HarbansBariana from the University of Sydney, who said that this technology will support the discovery and characterization of new sources of disease resistance in plants. Once researchers have identified resistance genes using AgRenSeq, they can clone them and introduce them to domestic crops to protect against diseases and pests,

“We have found a way to scan the genome(基因组)of a wild relative of a crop plant and pick out the resistance genes we need and we can do it in record time,” Dr. Brande Wulff, a project leader from the John Innes Centre, said.

“This used to be a process that took l0 Or 15 years and was like searching for a needle in a haystack(干草堆),” Wulff said. “We have perfected the method so that we can clone these genes in a matter of months and for just thousands of dollars instead of millions.”

The team are highly optimistic about their work, predicting it to be utilized in protecting many crops with wild relatives including soybeans, pea, cotton, potato, wheat, rice, banana and cocoa. “Using speed cloning and speed breeding we could deliver resistance genes into the best varieties within a couple of years, like a phoenix(凤凰) rising from the ashes,” Wulff added.

【1】How have the researchers developed the resistance genes?

A.By reducing the research time.

B.By introducing them to wild plants.

C.By cloning them from domestic crops.

D.By getting resistance genes from wild plants.

【2】What will be the use of the study in the future?

A.It will protect crops from being damaged by pests.

B.It will create a database for researchers to search.

C.It will protect domestic crops for 10 to 15 years.

D.It will contribute to reducing the wild plants.

【3】Which of the following best explains “utilized” underlined in Paragraph 6?

A.Produced. B.Made.

C.Used. D.Studied.

【4】What can we infer from what Brande Wulff said?

A.The resistance genes cost millions of dollars.

B.The resistance genes were found in a haystack.

C.It took the researchers ten years to find the resistance genes.

D.Disease-resistance genes will be put into practice soon.

24、Richard is a very a successful businessman.It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop.He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again.

In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”

We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax—— this has become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing is with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.

How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week—— for followers of some religions—— for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.

Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.

【1】What’s the function of the paragraph1?

A．To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life.

B．To bring up the topic of the passage.

C．To give us a brief introduction of Richard

D．To tell Richard is a successful businessman.

【2】The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “________”.

A．a signal of stress

B．a warning of danger

C．a sign of age

D．a spread of disease

【3】According to Paragraph 3, a successful person is one who is believed to ________.

A．be able to work without stress

B．be more talented than other people

C．be more important than anyone else

D．be busying working without time to rest

【4】According to the passage during the Sabbath ,what we should do except________.

A．Praying for our family.

B．Taking a good break.

C．Only working for two hours.

D．Enjoying delicious meal.

【5】Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they ________.

A．think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions

B．fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life

C．fail to realize that religions force them to rest

D．think that taking a rest means being lazy

【6】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．We should balance work with rest.

B．The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.

C．It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy.”

D．We should be available to our family and friends.

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。

As the late afternoon sun beat down in May 2021, Brandon Leseberg finished feeding his cows on his farm in Missouri in the midwest US and decided to call it a day. As they often did, his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3, had gone along with him as he worked in his north pasture (牧场), and they were also anxious to go home.

On the way back to the house, the boys, noisy as always, ran ahead of their father. Not far away, the chimney of Mr McKenney’s house smoked. It was time for supper. As Brandon, a farmer and cattle producer, stopped to close the pasture gate, Louie paused at a water tap atop an old well to quench (解渴) his thirst. Unknown to the Lesebergs, the board covering the well opening had, over time, grown brittle (易碎的). When Louie stepped on it, it caved in.

Brandon had just finished closing the gate when he turned around and saw only his youngest son.

“Where’s Louie?” he shouted to Everett.

Everett, his blue eyes wide with fear, told him, “He fell in the hole!”

The 37 year old immediately realised what had happened. “Noooo!” he thought. Louie can barely swim! Brandon raced over to the well and when he heard Louie splashing and gurgling (作汩汩声) far below, he instinctively jumped in.

Falling more than 10 metres down the 60-centimetre-wide brick-lined well, Brandon could hear Louie screaming. Somehow Brandon managed to grab onto a slippery pipe that ran down the inside of the well, which helped slow his fall and keep him from crushing his son.

Brandon hit the cold water at the bottom of the well. He soon grabbed Louie, who was panicked, and tried to stay afloat in water. Knowing they could tread (踩) ice-cold water for only so long, Brandon pulled Louie onto his chest as he squeezed his own legs and back against the well’s narrow walls for support.

“All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” said the child as his father held him tightly.
