21、As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking (家具制造) program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.

I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.

I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.

I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.

You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program — with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!

【1】Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?

A．To make more friends.

C．To get more organized.

D．To become a handy designer.

【2】Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?

【3】What can we know about the author?

A．He got a poor grade on hand work.

B．He feared to socialize with strangers.

C．He was skilled in solving math problems.

D．He once got tired of the difficult lessons.

【4】What does the author’s experience show?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Learning is more than a skill.

C．Failure teaches success.

D．Skills will never be a burden.

22、It was Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.

He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.

With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”

On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.

【1】Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?

B. He was listening to a strange sound.

D. They made Andy stay in hospital for two days.

【3】How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?

A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help.

B. He hid himself under the water.

C. He rushed into the Nelson house.

D. He rode off in the opposite direction.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?

A. No pains, no gains.

B. Once bitten, twice shy.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.

D. In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

23、   Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.

The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.

“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.” Wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”

The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.

【1】What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?

A.An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.

B.A person who has had no education.

C.A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.

D.A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.

【2】According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?

A.The way they present their findings. B.The way they deal with problems.

C.The intelligence they possess. D.The variety of ideas they have.

【3】The phrase “march to a different drummer” (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly creative individuals are ________.

A.unwilling to follow common ways of doing things

B.diligent in pursuing their goals

C.concerned about the advance of society

D.devoted to the progress of science

【4】The most suitable title for this passage might be ________.

A.The Relation Between Creation and Diligence

B.To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human Creativity

C.What Are So Special about Creative Individuals

D.Discoveries and Innovation

24、In the world of water, 2021 was another year for the record books. Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained locked in a massive drought.

One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).

Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams (水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.

The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.

Solutions don’t come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions.

【1】Cape Town is mentioned to show__________.

A．the reservoir was of no use

B．new water management is in need

C．how awful it was without tap water

D．the existing water management is impressive

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．The Netherlands was spared from flood damage.

B．The river’s water level was reduced to over a foot.

C．Improving soil’s water-holding ability is practical.

D．Planting crops boosts organisms at the cost of production.

【3】Which of the following water projects might win the author’s favor?

① “Restoring Healthy Soil”     

② “Filling Wetland”

③ “Strengthening Dam”   

④ “Making Room for River”

A．①②

B．②③

C．③④

D．①④

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Water disaster: way out of control

B．Investment in water: a key to the future

C．Nature-based solution: a way out for water

D．Good news: farming practices working well

And I believe that a person’s dignity, if nothing else, even in the face of death, is vital.

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。

Kilimandjaro was a popular place for soccer fans who went to watch Middlesbrough F.C. play over the weekend to eat after the game. Waka Waka Chicken was one of the restaurant’s signature dishes.

Everything seemed normal for the owner of the restaurant, Apollo, who always values the virtue of honesty, and his waiters. Customers were flocking in, and service was running smoothly that day. Apollo, to be honest, wasn’t even there. He was having a good time with his family, completely unaware of what was going on in his restaurant. He had no idea that something unexpected was about to happen and that he’d be getting a rather awkward phone call from the waiter.

At about 11：00 a. m, three guys walked in, clearly interested in sitting down and eating   some food. There’s a good chance they came from out of town and were fans of the away team. At the very least, the staff could detect a difference in their accents. It wasn’t long before they were attended to by a waiter who took their orders. After that, everything appeared to be going well…The three friends were glad they had chosen Kilimandjaro. Waka Waka Chicken with cheese was enjoyed by them. From their expression, the staff could tell these three guys were very satisfied with the food.

About one hour later, the three friends were prepared to pay for their meals. The total cost of the food was £35. They reached for their credit cards and handed them over as the waiter approached their table. However, they were shocked when the waiter informed them that they could only pay in cash. None of them carried cash with them. At this time, the waiter was asked to go to another table to take orders. Realizing the last train back home was to depart in an hour, the three friends had other ideas…

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

On returning, the waiter was surprised the three guys had gone without paying.

Two weeks later，Apollo received an unexpected letter with £35 attached．
