21、When you are waiting to pay for your groceries at your local supermarket, do you ever notice the items in the checkout lanes (通道)? Are you ever attracted to buy the chocolate bar or bottle of coke you see? If you are like most people, you will cave to the pressure to add the candy or soft drink to your cart.
Now the city of Berkeley is going to become the first city in the US to stop allowing the sale of unhealthy food in the checkout lanes according to CNN.
The “Healthy Checkout Ordinance (法规)” was approved by Berkeley's city council (议会) at a meeting in September and requires that all food stores over 2,500 square feet sell only healthy food items near the checkout lanes. This will affect over 25 stores in Berkeley including Whole Foods, Safeway and Walgreens.
“Placement of unhealthy food near a checkout lane increases the likelihood that customers will purchase these foods and drinks when willpower is weak at the end of a long shopping trip,” City Council member Kate Harrison said at the city council meeting.
“It's not a ban; it's a motivation,” Harrison said “Stores can still sell candy and soda, just not at your child's eye level in the checkout.”
The new ordinance Harrison said at the city council meeting “is really good behavioral economics, which facilitates better choices for consumers but does not limit what they can buy”.
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a national consumer advocacy organization based in Washington D.C., began working with the city in 2017 and has six similar campaigns across the country but Berkeley is the first to adopt the unhealthy food restrictions. The city already started a soda tax in 2014. “Berkeley has been a leader in progressive health policies for a long time,” Ashley Hickson from CSPI said.
【1】What will happen if unhealthy food items are placed near the checkout lanes?
A．It will motivate shoppers to purchase less.
B．Shoppers will be easily attracted to buy them.
C．It will prevent shoppers buying desired items.
D．Shoppers will be willing to wait at the checkout.
【2】What does the underlined word “facilitates” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Limits.
B．Promotes.
C．Bans.
D．Assesses.
【3】What can we know about Berkeley?
A．It bans unhealthy food in local large supermarkets.
B．It always follows other cities' local food campaigns.
C．It has trouble conducting unhealthy food restrictions.
D．It tends to actively adopt progressive health policies.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．You Should Keep Clam While Walking Along Checkout Lanes
B．Berkeley Relieves Your Pressure to Buy Unnecessary Items
C．Berkeley Keeps Unhealthy Food Away From Checkout Lanes
D．Be Cautious Enough to Make Reasonable Shopping Choices
22、Hobbies let you explore interests outside your work. 【1】 There are plenty of options available to you. How can you choose the hobby that suits you from these options? Here are some tips.
Look at what interests you. And examine what takes up your spare time, when you have it. Do you enjoy reading books? Maybe you want to try your hand at writing them. Do you like a cool beer at the end of the day? Maybe your hobby could be trying to make beer at home. 【2】
Think about what you value most. What qualities do you think important? Do you value wisdom or courage? Do you admire artistic expression? 【3】 For instance, maybe you could volunteer at a library as a hobby because you value education, or maybe you could take up painting because you admire people who can express themselves with art.
【4】 Certain hobbies require certain skill sets. If you don’t have much patience, then maybe hand sewing isn’t something you’d enjoy. However, if you love building things, maybe you should consider a hobby like building furniture.
【5】 Ask your friends and family what you seem to talk about the most. Now, think about what it is about that subject that you enjoy so much and determine how it can be turned into a hobby.
A. Help others to choose a hobby.
B. Examine your skills and personality.
C. Turn what you already love into a hobby.

G. Let those qualities guide you when you’re choosing a hobby.
23、 The science of papermaking addresses the methods, equipment, and materials used to make paper and cardboard, these being used widely for printing, writing, and packaging, among many other purposes and useful products. Today almost all paper is produced using industrial machinery. 【1】
The method of manual（手工的）papermaking changed very little over time, despite advances in technologies.【2】Separate the useful fibre from the rest of raw materials. Beat down the fibre into pulp（纸浆）.Adjust the color, chemical, biological, and other properties of the paper. Screen （筛选）the resulting liquid. Press and dry to get the actual paper.
【3】 It is made of stainless materials and set in a wooden frame similar to that of a window. Then completely bathe it in the liquid and draw it out. Water is removed and the wet mat of fibre is laid on top of a damp cloth. The fairly damp fiber is then dried. Finally, the paper is then cut to the desired shape and packed.
The wooden frame is called a “deckle” （定纸框）. 【4】 The “deckle edges” are one of the indications that the paper was made by hand. Deckle-edged paper is occasionally imitated today to create the impression of old-fashioned luxury.
【5】 It is also used in paper factories to check the quality of the production process. The “handsheets" made according to TAPPI Standard T205 are tested for paper characteristics such as brightness, strength and degree of sizing.
A.Screening the fibre involves using a special net.
B.The process of papermaking is really complicated.
C.It leaves the edges of the paper slightly irregular and wavy.
D.In laboratories handmade paper is prepared to study papermaking.
E.However, traditional papermaking in Asia uses the inner skin fibres of plants.
F.The process of manufacturing handmade paper can be generalized into five steps.
G.But handmade paper is still appreciated for its distinctive uniqueness and the skilled craft.
24、 It was back in 2014. I learned I needed an operation to remove the tumor (肿瘤). Hearing the word 'cancer' was the first shock, but knowing the surgeon would have to cut the front of my neck open was a lot to swallow. I was relieved to learn that thyroid (甲状腺) cancer can be treated if caught early, but 1 wasn't thrilled it would mean a lifelong scar front and center on my neck.
Back at home, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I admired my neck, running my finger across a delicate gold chain I wore. Then came a tiny voice, 'Mommy!' My then five year -old son. Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn't know I had been diagnosed (诊断) with the Big C, or that I was having an operation. I patiently explained my condition to him and told him I would have a scar on my neck after the operation.
I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn't want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I was his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it's how you deal with them that matters.
The operation was successful. The recovery process, bearing it all, in the grocery store, out to dinner with family and on the summer camp pickup line, made me realize, if I could get through this phase (阶段), I could bear the scar of survival forever. The scar proves I looked at fear in the face and won.
People will ask about my scar even though it's a very thin dull line five years later. That means I have the chance to educate others about thyroid cancer and how they should self-check their necks and remind their doctors to do the same, at yearly physicals. To me, the scar is like a superhero stamp.
【1】What’s the author worried about before the operation?
A.Her neck would look ugly. B.The tumor couldn't be removed.
C.Jack couldn't take care of himself. D.She would have difficulty swallowing.
【2】Why did the author decide to face the reality bravely?
A.She didn't care how people liked her.
B.She realized she didn't have other choice.
C.She wanted to set a good example to her son.
D.She felt lucky to have her cancer caught early.
【3】What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A.She has a better chance of education.
B.She feels proud of what she has done.
C.She has become an expert in cancer treatment.
D.She has suffered from poor health for five years.

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。
A rock as big as a house. That’s how the guide-book described Giant Rock. Dad said it was carried here by a glacier (冰川) millions of years ago.
I was finally going to see it, on snowshoes, with my cousin Andrew, my dad, and my uncle Don. I’d been snowshoeing before, and I liked traveling through deep snow alongside wild animal tracks (足迹).
At the parking area, after putting on our snowshoes, we studied the map. “We start here,” Dad said, “on the red trail (小路). Then we turn left onto the purple trail. That’s where Giant Rock is.”
“Remember to stick together, boys,” Uncle Don said.
The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall. It was easy to follow because red markers were stuck onto the trees. At the top of the hill, we turned onto the purple trail. Dad and everyone else were in front and I was in the back. My cousin was faster than I was, but I managed to catch up.
The late afternoon sun felt warm, although it was going down. I saw lots of animal tracks — mostly rabbit prints. As we carried on up the trail. Andrew said what I’d been thinking, “Will we ever reach Giant Rock? Do you think your dad invented the idea of Giant Rock just to get us away from the TV for a while?”
I laughed. “You never know.”
Finally, we reached the top of a hill and saw the large rock sitting alone in the forest.
“It really is as big as a house!” Andrew said.
Standing in the rock’s long shadow (影子), I noticed the sun had got even lower.
“Let’s head back,” Dad said after a few minutes.
Soon we were on our way home. I was a little behind the group when I noticed a set of animal tracks. They were hard to see among the snowshoe prints, so I followed them off the trail for a closer look. They looked like tiny handprints and footprints. Must be a raccoon (浣熊) I thought, matching them to prints in my guide.
