21、Satellites(卫星) are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator（赤道）．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit（轨道），So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash（撞）into each other．
【1】Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?
A．Sending information for weather forecast．
B．Taking photographs of the Earth．
C．Sending TV pictures．
D．Providing food for airplane pilots．
【2】What’s the speed the earth rotates at?
A．35,880 kilometers per hour．
B．335,880 kilometers per hour．
C．11,000 kilometers per hour．
D．110,000 kilometers per hour
【3】Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?
A．In order to take photographs．
B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit．
C．In order to move away from its orbit．
D．In order to send television pictures．
【4】What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A．A satellite．
B．A little rocket．
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．
22、How to Get a Teacher to Like You
Are you looking to get a teacher on your good side? Look for some extra points in participation. You don’t have to be a teacher’s pet, either.
Do work hard.
【1】 It suggests that you care about the class. If you don’t do your homework, don’t lie to your teacher: offer to do extra assignments instead and then hand everything in on or ahead of time.
【2】
Some teachers like for students to be quiet, and ask questions only when it is necessary, while others want you to always report back to them to show interest in the lesson. 【3】 You watch teacher’s reactions to other students. Only you know what they like, do it as much as possible.
Be friendly.
Make conversations with your teachers, either after or before class. If they say something about their family, ask how it is going, especially if it is something difficult. 【4】 Also, if the teacher has a good sense of humor, joke with him / her sometimes.
Be respectful.
At the very least this means that you don’t backtalk or insult （侮辱）the teacher. This might be difficult. But if you are polite to them, they will look stupid being rude to you. Just following directions can go a long way. 【5】 Find out their birthday and congratulate them. Respect your teacher. Make sure that you are always on time.
A. Know what your teacher likes.
B. Know how to get to your teacher’s office.
C. The teacher feels like you care about him / her.
D. Learn what your teacher likes by watching.
E. Always have a positive attitude and praise others’ work.
F. When you can, complete and hand in your homework in advance.
G. It is always a good idea to greet your teacher when you see him/her.
23、One of the most stressful days of Susan McFrederick’s life was watching her son get wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2021.
But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn son’s back was a sweet winter scene hand-drawn on his bandages.
“There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom,” she recalled. “It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I’ll never forget.”
Susan soon learned the artist was her son’s surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship at a children’s medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cutout heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages.
“My first reaction was, ‘What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat.’ ” Parry recalled. I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork The smiles took everyone’s attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit”.
Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients’ personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes, sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers, trees and sea creatures. During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches (伤口缝线) of more than 10,000 children.
“During a time of stress for families, it’s nice to be able to help them smile and laugh,” Parry said. “This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.”
For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawing son bandages, “they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it.” he said.
He’s not ready to retire, but he’s found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come. “I’ve taken up knitting,” Parry said. “Hats, sweaters, gloves—I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.”
【1】How did Parry get the idea of decorating children’s bandages?
A．He was motivated by his patients.
B．He was inspired by his colleague.
C．He was required to learn the skill during his internship.
D．He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.
【2】Parry’s artworks during the last 30 years show that he ______.
A．devoted himself more to art than to medicine
B．knew more about his patients than their parents
C．took into consideration the tastes of individual patients
D．created a large number of works beyond his expectations
【3】What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?
A．To get a recognition from his supervisors.
B．To make a difference in his dull medical career.
C．To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.
D．To make his patients’ parents see a glimmer of hope.
【4】What can we learn about Parry from the last paragraph of the passage?
A．He is eager to show others his new skills.
B．He enjoys trying new ways to help others.
C．He is looking forward to life after retirement.
D．He is more interested in knitting than drawing.
24、 To put missing sentences into a text, you have to work like an investigator and look for clues. 【1】
Usually these streets were full of busy people (Missing sentence).
It was completely quiet on the streets outside. Guy thought it was strange. Now they were completely empty. The snow that had fallen looked like a carpet. Outside looked like inside.
The missing sentence refers back to a former sentence as there is a reference to streets (these streets). 【2】 In the missing sentence we know that usually the streets were full. This links to the following sentence as “now they were empty”. Here “they” refers back to “the streets”.
Read all the sentences taken out of the text. Read the text and match the sentences with the gaps you are sure about. 【3】 There will always be a link between these sentences and the missing sentence. Look for reference words. What do they refer to? Typical reference words include: personal pronouns (I, you, he, she...), possessive pronouns (my, mine, your...) and demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those). Besides, look for discourse markers such as in addition, however, as a result, then, etc.
【4】 If you think there are two possible sentences for one gap, write down both answers and check again later. Write down all the possibilities for each gap. If you make the wrong choice at the beginning, this may affect the rest of your answers. You don’t have to read the text in order. You can move backwards and forwards to different paragraphs.
There may be extra sentences you don’t need. 【5】
A.Here are the tips on how to order paragraphs.
B.The missing sentence also refers to the next sentence.
C.This example and the tips that follow show you how.
D.Read the sentences before and after the gap carefully.
E.Discourse markers are really important to help you find the missing sentences.
F.If you are not sure which sentence goes in the gap, leave it and move on to the next.
G.But remember, there will always be a link between the correct missing sentence and the text.

26、书面表达
请阅读下面短文，并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题，用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to color1 ful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.
