21、When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother helped me practice my lines. But when on stage, every word went away from my head. My teacher asked me to change the role and be the narrator. Although I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she felt my unhappiness. She asked me to take a walk in the yard.. It was a lovely spring day, We could see dandelions(蒲公英) popping up through the grass, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers. “I think I am going to pick all these weeds,” she said. “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All plants are beautiful---even dandelions!”My mother looked at me seriously, “Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn’t it?” she said, I nodded. “And that is true with people, too,” she added. She had guessed my pain. I started to cry and told her the truth. “You’ll be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said and handed me a dandelion. After the play, I took the flower home. I was perhaps the only person who would have kept such a weed.

22、“OK,”I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp-- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.
“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy complained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean. And she’s fat.” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat.” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说).“We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this.” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.
My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.
“It’s not always that easy,” I said . “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and commented , “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”
Does she need to know, now, that life isn’t fair ? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.
So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”
Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.

23、On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log hall that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.
“Children are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.
The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?
【1】What does the underlined phrase “the same time crunch” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Children have little time to play with their parents.
B．Both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time.
C．Children are not taken good care of by their working parents.
D．Both parents and children have trouble managing their time.
【2】In the author’s opinion, a child develops better if .
A．he has plenty of time reading and studying
B．he is free to interact with his working parents
C．he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D．he has more time participating in school activities
【3】What does the author worry about American kids?
A．They are increasingly ignored by their working mothers.
B．They are engaged in more and more structured activities.
C．They are spending more and more time watching TV.
D．They are involved less and less in household work.
【4】What can we conclude from the text?
A．Extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence.
B．Most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children.
C．Efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful.
D．Most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off.
24、The Tiangong space station, the first space station, is not just for China but for all humanity. The completion of Tiangong, expected by the end of next year, will be yet another milestone for an ambitious space program. The construction of the station is based on the experience gained from its pioneers, Tiangong-l and Tiangong-2. The first module(舱), the Tianhe core module, was launched on 29 April 2021, followed by multiple crewed and uncrewed missions and two more modules to be launched by 2022.
According to China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), which operates the space station, the purpose and missions of Tiangong space station are listed as: breakthrough in key technologies such as permanent human operations in orbit, long- term autonomous spaceflight of the space station, life support technology; development of technology that can aid future deep space exploration.
The Tianhe Core Cabin Module (CCM) provides life support and living quarters for three crew members and provides guidance, navigation (导航) for the station. The module also provides the station’s power and life support system. The station is equipped with a small kitchen for food preparation and the first-ever microwave oven in the spaceflight, so that astronauts can always have hot food whenever they need. 120 different types of food, selected based on astronauts’ preference, are stored aboard.
China’s intention to build its own space station was amplified(增强的) after NASA refused Chines participation in International Space Station in 2011.On 22 February 2017, CMSA and Italian Space Agency (ASD) signed an agreement to cooperate on long-term human spaceflight activities. The agreement holds importance due to Italy’s leading position in the field of human spaceflight with regard to the creation and development of the International Space Station and it shows Italy’s increased expectation in China’s developing space station program. Tiangong is also expected to host experiments from many other countries.
【1】What can be inferred from the passage about the Tiangong space station?
