21、 My favourite book, TheSecret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding fault”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find fault. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.
My father is a person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.
After I had read my favourite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has his own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let's admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That's not good. Believe it or not, people don't like to listen to negative opinions.
One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others' feelings. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an arrogant person. Now, I find it much easier to make friends after making some changes!
【1】What do you know about the author's father?
A．He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.
B．He likes finding fault with people around him.
C．He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.
D．He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.
【2】The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “________”.
A．self-important
B．admirable
C．troublesome
D．cold-blooded
【3】What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A．To persuade readers to be good listeners.
B．To share his painful experience of making changes.
C．To tell readers the influence of a book on him.
D．To show the result of his father's negative character.
22、Prevent Viruses From Infecting Your Computer
The number one way to prevent viruses from infecting your computer is to have an anti﹣virus software on your computer, which can detect and block viruses before they have a chance to cause any harm. 【1】 If it finds any viruses, it can separate them and delete them safely from your computer. Because there are new viruses that are created on an almost daily basis, your virus protection needs to be updated regularly.
【2】 This way if your computer should ever get hit by a virus, which corrupts some of your system. you will have a back up copy available. 【3】 This will allow you to restart your computer using an earlier configuration （配置）before you got infected by the virus. This method is not always reliable but it is something that you can try.
An important rule of thumb is do not open attachments in emails from people you do not know. You have no idea what those attachments might contain and no idea who sent them. You should also be careful about opening attachments from people you do know if you are not sure what the attachment is about. 【4】
Downloading is a good way to catch a computer virus. It's like opening the door and saying "Come on in! " Yes, if your virus protection is updated, it will hopefully catch the virus. 【5】 When downloading, make sure the site you are downloading from is reliable with a lot of traffic. Stay away from unreliable sites that have few visitors.
A.Not all viruses act immediately.
B.But then again, it might not.
C.Operating without a firewall is risky anyway.
D.Attachments are a good way for viruses to sneak into your systems.
E.A good anti﹣virus program can scan any program, files, or documents.
F.Another good way is to make backup copies of important documents and files.
G.You can even set a system restore point anywhere from a week or a month earlier.
23、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Meal kits(餐具)cut food waste but packaging is a problem
Home delivery meal kits can slash(大幅消减)food waste by more than two-thirds, but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.
【1】 That means leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste, buying the same ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if you have meals that are tailored for consumption, people won’t over-buy and you have less food waste. You fine-tune the portions to what people will actually eat.
Beyond the cost of the waste itself, thrown-away food generates methane(甲烷)that contributes to climate change. 【2】 A 2018 report from the Boston Consulting Group found that the waste was set to soar by a third by 2030 when global food waste was estimated to reach 2.1 bn tonnes.
Meal kits can reduce transport emissions if they mean people take fewer trips to the supermarket. If people only went to buy goods that are unlikely to decay such as soap and toilet paper, they might only have to visit the supermarket once every couple of months. That delivery truck can carry meals for you and dozens of neighbors. 【3】
The study found that even if delivered meal kits reduced food waste to zero, they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. 【4】 All the environmental benefits are lost. But if the packaging can be reused, you can get some benefits.
A. However, meal kits are likely heading for the mainstream.
B. If it’s single-use and thrown away, the packaging is a killer.
C. In that case, you might replace dozens of car trips with one truck trip.
D. Meal knits arrive on your doorstep by truck filled with every ingredient you need.
E. Tailor-made meal kits save waste by providing precise quantities of fresh ingredients.
F. If food waste was a country, it would rank third in emissions behind the US and China.
24、Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond (超过) this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
【1】What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The number of friends you should have.
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C．Some social skills you may need at work.
D．Some useful advice on how to make friends.
【2】According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A．are likely to spend more money
B．may not be as popular at work
C．seem to get betterpaid jobs
D．will work harder in later years
【3】What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．10.
B．35.
C．100.
D．150.
【4】What does the text mainly want to show?
A．You need to spend more time with your friends.
B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C．Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D．It’s more important to have good friends than lots of 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。
It has been three months since Ms. Sue joined a primary school to teach English. She was gradually learning to understand all her students but one, Bob. He was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been getting steadily worse with every single day.
It was yet another day when all the students in the class laughed at Bob because he was unable to answer even the simplest questions Sue asked him. At the end of the lesson when all the students left, Ms. Sue searched through the progress reports on Bob in his previous classes. She was shocked to see that Bob used to be the top of his class. She looked over every page of the report and found out that Bob’s performance had begun to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. A few months down the line, Bob was doing badly in each and every subject. Later, his mother died on Mother’s Day, leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel frequently.
Apart from his performance worsening steadily, Bob’s nature began to change, too. The reports clearly said he had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. He began to stay alone. All his friends had abandoned him. Tears filled Ms. Sue’s eyes.
The next day, while all the students were leaving the classroom, she asked Bob to stay behind. Bob sat on his chair quietly. After the classroom was empty, Ms. Sue went up to him. She began to ask him if he had any problem understanding the lessons. Gradually, she began to make him feel more comfortable so that he could talk and share. After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was able to answer the questions he had previously failed to answer. Every day after all the students left the classroom, Ms. Sue spent some time with Bob and gave personal attention to him.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
