21、In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.

As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting(借鉴) my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experience, grow and find their own voices.

【1】What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A lot of amusements compete for children’s time nowadays.

B. Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.

C. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.

D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.

C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

D. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.

【3】Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?

A. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

B. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

C. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

【4】The underlined sentence probably means that the author was _______.

A. trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life.

B. trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished.

C. making sure that her daughter would win the contest.

D. helping her daughter develop real skills for writing.

22、I’m a walker, logging an average of 9000 steps a day several times a week around my neighborhood. On recent trips to Copenhagen and Stockholm, I noticed tall, fit Scandinavians (斯堪法尼亚人) walking along on city streets with poles, as if they were cross-country skiing without any snow.

It was a surprise to learn that the addition of the poles makes it a more vigorous, full-body exercise than simply walking – and, as a 76-year-old looking to stay healthy while enjoying the outdoors, I decided to give it a try.

There’s plenty of help online for the new Nordic (北 欧的 ) walker: stand tall, swing your arms out as if to shake hands, and plant your poles with vigour. Then there’s the little matter of the strap (带子) on the pole. This allows the walker to grip the pole when thrusting forward and then relax that hand as the other hand pushes forward – a skill of coordination that builds stronger muscles.

For a warm-up, I started slow: Nordic walking down the hall that extends from my front door to the deck. Keeping balance wasn’t my only problem. The novel use of my arms and upper body was surprisingly demanding. After half an hour, my heart was pounding and I was sweating, but I still wasn’t much good.

Still, I carried on because there’s no arguing with the exercise’s benefits. Nordic walkers’ upper-body exercise increases their heart rate significantly more than walking without poles. And according to cardiologist Dr Aaron Baggish, with poles “you’re engaging 80 to 90 per cent of your muscles.” It also helps people with Parkinson’s, says Burrill. “We put poles in their hands and it’s amazing because they start walking with real rhythm.”

After a few clumsy days of being convinced I would never succeed, suddenly everything clicked. Not only was I able to coordinate the movements, I was aware that my heart, arms and core were getting a workout. Nordic walking is a form of exercise I expect to enjoy for years to come.

【1】What inspired the writer to try Nordic walking?

A．Enjoying the outdoor skiing.

B．Observing Scandinavians walking.

C．Getting tired of simple walking.

D．Fancying a healthy lifestyle.

【2】What was the main challenge for the author during the initial stages of Nordic walking?

A．Building strong muscle in the arms.

B．Using arms and upper body harmoniously.

C．Sweating with heart pounding.

D．Feeling discouraged for lack of progress.

【3】What does the author want to show by mentioning people with Parkinson’s?

A．The great benefits of Nordic walking.

B．The wide practice of Nordic walking.

C．The urgency to promote Nordic walking.

D．The promising future of Nordic walking.

【4】What is the author’s intention in writing this passage?

A．To persuade readers to try Nordic walking for fun.

B．To share the experience of trying a new fitness activity.

C．To emphasize the great difficulties of Nordic walking.

D．To compare Nordic walking with simple walking.

23、Martin Stephen lost his cousin David Jeffrey and almost lost his own life when they were swept into a strong wave as a force 10 gale hit Dunbar two days before Christmas in 1970. The pair had been climbing rocks at the entrance to Dunbar harbour to watch the storm roll in, as they had done many times before.

A sudden wave pulled 11-year-old David into the water. Martin, who was 21, jumped in after Him to try to save him but the waves were just too strong. David was never found. Martin was left struggling against the swell. The lifeboat crew at Dunbar was deployed and after a dramatic rescue mission, Martin was pulled from the sea.

Five decades later, Martin wrote to the crew to thank them once more for their brave actions which allowed him to go on and live a full and happy life. And he had the opportunity to talk via videocall to Davie Kittrick—one of the men who helped him.

David was a young volunteer and he managed to pull Martin's head above the icy water as other crew members joined the rescue. Martin was eventually pulled aboard the Margaret lifeboat, where he was resuscitated. The men took it in turns to keep him alive until they could get him ashore.

David Brunton was the crew member who pulled Martin out of the water that day. He is no longer alive, and it is only now that his son Jamie has learned the full details of the rescue. Jamie said: “I remember my dad coming home in the late afternoon soaking wet. If it hadn't been for my mother who put the plaque up on the wall that he got for the rescue, we wouldn't have known anything about it. Dad wasn't keen to talk about it.”

David Brunton was awarded the RNLI Bronze Medal for Gallantry. Martin, a retired headteacher, said; "I have been given the most extraordinary Christmas present any human being can give. One life was tragically lost on that day, but David Brunton didn't just save one life—he saved nine lives. He saved my three sons and five grandchildren."

【1】What can we learn about David Jeffrey from the passage?

D．He was swept away by the wave.

【2】When did the story most probably happen?

24、   The problem of robocalls (自动语音电话) has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know, because half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). The problem is so serious that we begin supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately，it's of little use. By the time these “solutions” become widely available，scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.

In the near future，it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real. That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. Today, a new voice technology is able to produce such a convincing human –sounding voice that it is very difficult for even the most advanced detecting machine to tell whether it is a fake one.

These developments will make the problems with robocalls much worse. With data breaches (数据侵入) of personal information, scammers can easily learn your mother 's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge. they' re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means. for example，that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, tricking you into "confirming " your address，mother's name，and card number. Scammers follow money，so companies will be the worst hit.

We need to deal with the insecure nature of our networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by. or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.

Mutual trust is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going harder from now on.

【1】How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?

A.Panicked. B.Confused. C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.

【2】Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can______.

A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easily

C.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely

【3】What does the passage imply?

A.Honesty is the best policy.

B.Technologies can be double-edged.

C.There are more solutions than problems.

D.Mutual trust is the key to development.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted

B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls

C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous

D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
