21、There’s a child-like joy that comes with ordering something online — whether it be clothes or kitchen stuffs. We sit anxiously refreshing the Postal Service or Express pages to see when our items will arrive, and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious.
According to Owen O’Kane, a psychologist and writer, even the smallest positive future events can motivate us when we’re feeling down — especially during the pandemic, which has been filled with unexpected disappointments. Waiting for a parcel may not just represent an imagined positive future where you can control your needs for a book or toaster or shirt, making life feel more manageable, but can also serve as a temporary distraction from the boring life because it gives you something new to wake up to and get excited about.
However, people went into a frenzy when the Postal Service announced that its mail delivery would become permanently slower. And then, many became worried about their items arriving on time, appearing broken, or simply not living up to expectations. A delayed package may seem insignificant to some. But for others, getting your hopes up only for them to be depressed is anxiety and angering. O’Kane says these reactions are natural, but telling about more deep-rooted internal issues in our lives that go beyond the delayed package. It’s really symbolic about something bigger, psychologically, about the need to control and needing everything to be perfect.
It’s important to practice self-care and treat yourself with occasional gifts. However, experts caution comfort shopping is only a temporary fix, which only helped you escape problems temporarily. “Shopping for and receiving an item is stimulating on some level, and also the most passive way to live,” O’Kane adds.
【1】Why do we look forward to receiving packages based on the first two paragraphs?
A.It makes life easy to manage.
B.It gives us something positive to expect.
C.It distracts us from a better life.
D.It helps us avoid unexpected disappointments.
【2】We can infer from the third paragraph that delayed package may cause some people to ________.
A.cancel their orders.
B.stand still to call for their parcels.
C.get into a state of craziness.
D.run into a postal service company.
【3】What is O’Kane’s attitude toward people’s reactions to the delayed package?
A.Concerned.
B.Indifferent.
C.Optimistic
D.Negative
【4】What exactly does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?
A.Find hope in your comfort shopping.
B.Never order and track something online.
C.Go shopping for and receiving items occasionally.
D.Live actively and take actions to solve problems for good.
22、Traveling through time
As children, we dream of growing older; when we are older, we dream of being children. We let our lives pass us by because we have yet to learn that the harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes. This is how my story begins.
In October of my freshman year, I took an accidental trip down memory lane. One day after school, I decided to take the long way home. I needed time to think. So off I went, walking through the grass. That was how I came to find a gap in the fence lining the school property. I passed through this gap and followed the treeline until I found myself in the far fields behind the neighborhood.
Suddenly, I remembered it was here through the fence between the school and the fields that I watched older kids having their high school graduation ceremony. In cap and gown (长袍), they stood in the middle of the field. They looked like they were having the most fun I had ever seen anyone have; they looked free.
Years later, I walked through that field on my way home from that same high school. The soccer nets were long gone, and the paint lines had washed away with the rain, but there it was, just as I remembered it. The old field felt like a moment trapped in time, a long-forgotten memory. Here I was, standing in between my past and my present and trying so hard to figure out just how all of those years had passed me by so quickly. The gap in the fence seemed like a distinct line between my years. A doorway between 5 and 15.
I’ve since given this place a name, Tempus Illud, a place between places. I try to take the long way home at least once a month now. Sometimes, when I cross that bridge, I see that younger version of myself. She is so young and so desperate to speed up time. I see her peering through the fence at those graduates in the cap and gown, and she’s wishing she could be just like them. She, too, could feel so free that she might just grow wings and fly away. Now I’m preparing to wear the cap and gown in a few short months. But this time, I wish to leave time to its own devices.
The harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes you by. So I no longer yearn. The passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor sings, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time … Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”
【1】How did the author feel when she saw the older kids’ graduation ceremony?
A.Jealous.

C.Admiring.
D.Unconcerned.
【2】What is the significance of Tempus Illud to the author?

B.It bridges her past, present and future.
C.It shows the miracle of frozen time.
D.It symbolizes high school graduation.
【3】What is the author’s perspective on time at the end?
A.She is addicted to the past.
B.She yearns for time to pass quicker.
C.She wants to run after time.
D.She decides to enjoy the moment.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A.To suggest that time brings the truth to light.
B.To show that tough times never last.
C.To explain how time changes everything.
D.To share her changing attitude toward time.
23、King Canute couldn’t stop the ocean’s tide from rolling in — can Africa hold back the desert?That’s certainly what the continent is tying to do with its proposed “Great Green Wall”, 800km (almost 500 miles) worth of trees that officials hope will stop the advancement of the Sahara Desert, which has been rapidly expanding southward.
The idea was introduced in the 1970s when the once-rich region turned barren (贫瘠的) due to climate change and intensive land use. But it’s not a new idea; China has its own desert vegetation project to hold back the Gobi Desert! Thanks to the Chinese plan, the African project aims to plant 100 million hectares of trees by 2030 across the entire Africa. The initiative is a decade in, and around 15% completed, and there have already been benefits for many communities and wildlife. It’s bringing life back to the continent’s degraded landscapes at an unprecedented scale, providing not only food security and jobs but a reason to stay for the millions who live along its path.
The creators of the wall hope it will bring an urgently needed solution to the threats facing the African continent, creating 10 million jobs in rural areas, as well as preventing 250 million tons of carbon. The initiative is Africa-driven, which for those on the continent, is vital, and may hold the key to success. “The Great Green Wall…is about ownership, and that has been the failure of development aid because people were never identified with it,” said Elvis Paul Tangam, African Union Commissioner for the Sahara and Sahel Great Green Wall Initiative.“But this time they identify. This is the very thing of us!”
The wall may seem like a moonshot, but all the best ideas usually are. As Thomas Sankara, former president of Burkina Faso said in 1985, “You can not carry out fundamental change without a certain degree of madness. The courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.”
【1】What does Africa’s “Great Green Wall” aim for?
A.Offering more jobs for locals.
B.Stopping the expansion of desert.
C.Creating a harmonious society.
D.Improving African landscapes.
【2】Where did Africa got the inspiration?
A.From their practices of planting trees.
B.From the process of stopping flooding.
C.From China’s success in desert control.
D.From Africans’ wisdom and hard work.
【3】What does “us” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.African Unions.
B.All advocates.
C.Land owners.
D.All Africans.
【4】How does Thomas Sankara feel about the initiative?
A.Daring.
B.Effortless.
C.Critical.
D.Doubtful.
24、I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.
【1】Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?
A.Because there is one group presenting a catering service.
B.Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.
C.Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.
D.Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.
【2】Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?
A.Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B.Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C.Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
D.Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
【3】We can infer form the passage that ________.
A.China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.
B.high pay may not solve the problem of China's research environment.
C.cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.
D.the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Look for a new way of learning
B.Reward creative thinking
C.How to become a creator
D.Establish a technical environment

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。
Dad dipped his hand into my basket. “What’s that?” he asked. “Mew,”said the basket. “ Oh no,” he said. “ Not a cat. No way. ” I pulled Checkers from the basket. “ It’s not a cat. It’s a kitten. Can I keep him? Please?” Dad frowned for a minute, thinking. Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin. “You’ll have to take good care of him. ” I hugged Checkers. “I will,” I promised. “He won’t be any trouble at all. ”
And Checkers wasn’t—until he grew into a cat. Sometimes he tripped Dad. “That cat!” Dad complained. Checkers climbed onto our roof. He had no trouble getting down. Usually he aimed for Dad. “That cat!”Dad yelled. Checkers flushed(冲水)the toilet,watching the water circle away. “That cat!”Dad groaned.
Checkers hid in strange places. He liked to surprise people. One day he hid under the couch. Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice. Checkers jumped out. He curled(蜷缩)around Dad’s ankle and attacked Dad’s toes. Orange juice spilt all over the floor. “Get out, Cat!” Dad roared. And he slammed the door.
Dad washed the scratches and peeled open bandages and wrapped them around his big toe and his ankle. I watched from the window. Checkers looked frustrated as he walked down the road. “I’m sorry. ” I said. “He was just playing. He didn’t mean to hurt you. ” “Don’t worry,” said Dad. “He will be back. ”
After supper I called for Checkers. But Checkers didn’t come. Nighttime came. I called and called. But still no Checkers. I left the porch light on. But the next morning Checkers still wasn’t there. I carried a picture of Checkers to all the neighbors. But nobody found Checkers. Days went by. Life wasn’t the same without that cat.
I was angry with Dad. I didn’t think he missed Checkers at all.
