21、 It was the homecoming parade in Rockwall,Texas,and cheerleader Tyra Winters,was riding on the top of one of the school's floats(彩车）。As it slowly made its way down the wide road,the 17-year-old enthusiastically waved at the crowd,all the while soaking in the music,laughter,and applause.
All of a sudden.a horrific scream sounded.Looking down,Winters saw a two-year-old on the sidewalk gasping for air.his extremely worried mother begging for help.The boy,Clarke Hornback Lad been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth,lodging in his throat and blocking his windpipe.

Winters told KTVT."There was no coughing;there was no breathing,Clarke's mother,Nicole Homback,later told news station NBCDFW.He was just gasping for air."No one seemed to know how to help.
Except for Winters.A senior with dreams of becoming a pediatric surgeon,she had learned the Heimlich maneuver and CPR.Knowing that the clock was ticking,she leaped off the moving float and ran to the child.
By the time she got to Clarke,his face had turned purple."I got him!"she yelled to Nicole as she grabbed the boy from her."I tilted him and gave a good three back thrusts,"she told the local CBS station.
Soon,the boy coughed up the piece of candy,gasped,and began breathing again.Without another word,Winters handed Clarke back to his mother and ran back to her float before it could leave her behind.
It all happened so fast,Nicole never had time to thank the teen.Winters' s heroic actions left Nicole speechless."I don't really have any words,"she says."The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is' thank you.' But that doesn't seem good enough."

22、 In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.
Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
【1】What happened to Steve and Zach at first?
A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog.
C. They were trapped. D. They became separated.
【2】Brady ran away to ______.
A. seek help B. find a way out
C. rescue Zach D. escape for life

C. Numb. D. Uncertain.
【4】The passage basically describes ________.

23、 Climate emergencies are a bit like buses. You wait an age for one and then three come along at once. Parliaments in the UK and Ireland passed motions declaring a climate emergency in May. Last Monday, Canada followed suit.
It isn’t just parliament sounding the alarm. “This is a climate emergency,” said U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa for the first time last Tuesday. Hours earlier, James Bevan of England’s Environment Agency and Vince Cable, the leader of the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats, also used the phrase.
They join a cast of high-profile public figures already on the bus, from UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres. But how did the language of climate change campaigners jump to the lips of the establishment, and should we welcome its seemingly unstoppable adoption?
Does this language make a difference? A day after Canada’s climate emergency motion, it approved a £4.4 billion oil pipeline. Bristol City Council in the UK also declared a climate emergency, yet the city’s mayor subsequently backed expansion of the local airport. Nothing changed on UK streets after parliament declared a climate emergency, notes former Labour Party leader Ed MIliband. “This silent response to an alarm that we ourselves have sounded symbolizes the challenge we face,” he wrote. _______?_______
Mike Hulme at the University of Cambridge argues against the phrase because it implies “time-limited radical(激进的)” action could end the emergency, when climate change is actually a “new condition of human existence.” Some, HUlme included, also fear the language may cause counterproductive responses.
Bur Roz Pidcock of communication organization Climate Outreach says a climate emergency “suggests a response that is very radical in scale and ambition, but not incautious or knee-jerk(本能的),” and certainly not a license for extreme measure like geoengineering the climate.
Despite the risk of phrase being devalued, Rebecca Willis at Lancaster University in the U.K. tells me it is still useful ---and that’s because it is true. As Spratt says, “You cannot solve a problem unless you name it for exactly what it is.” Getting politicians to adopt the language will also be crucial to holding them to tough policy decisions later, says Doug Parr of Greenpeace.
The phrase’s widespread adoption isn’t a problem. The lack of action equivalent to such language is. And that action is going to include a lot of silently gliding electric buses.
【1】Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4?
A.We should strive to stimulate people’s initiative.
B.The use of “climate emergency” highlights the challenge.
C.Such a mismatch risks making the term meaningless.
D.There are many people against the use of the phrase.
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Mike Hulme thinks that ______.
A.climate change call for deliberate consideration before action is taken
B.immediate action should be taken to put climate emergency to an end
C.the phrase “climate emergency” may lead to the opposite consequences
D.people all over the world have been accustomed to climate change
【3】Which of the following arguments can be used in favour of the phrase “climate emergency”?.
A.Extreme measures will be taken to address the issue of climate change
B.The use of the phrase may contribute to substantial policymaking.
C.The phrase will make no sense unless practical solutions are found.
D.Less attention is paid to the phrase though it reflects a true story.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the phrase “climate emergency”?
A.Negative B.Optimistic
C.Indifferent D.Objective
24、I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steam punk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.
I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”
China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.
There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.
Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting checks and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.
The list goes on…
When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”
While my friends think I’m riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a “Didi” for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.
With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.
【1】What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a movie. B. To tell an interesting story.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To show the weather in Beijing.
【2】How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?
A. He couldn’t stand the weather. B. He didn’t want to stay long.
C. He never wanted to go back home. D. He was amazed at the bike sharing.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.
B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.
C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.
D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.
【4】What does the text intend to tell us?
A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.
B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.
C. Technology has brought much convenience in China.
D. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.

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。
I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer. Everyone was in their own little world.
But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too—if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats.
“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have some kind of human connection, I thought.
My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I got in and tured the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed.
I reached for my cell phone to call AAA — then remembered. It was dead, like my car. I would have to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came back into the waiting room, then quickly went back to what they were doing. I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I tured back to the people in the waiting room.
“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people tured toward me to listen. “But my car won’t start …”
The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said. “I’ll go and take a look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me.
