21、These large hairy creatures have been sighted around the world, and they appear frequently in ancient folklore. Here are some of the best places you should visit as you search for Yeti and Bigfoot.

Willow Creek, California

Called the gateway to Bigfoot Country, Willow Creek is the site of the most famous Bigfoot footage—the classic photo of the dark, hairy creature traveling across the actual Willow Creek in Six Rivers National Forest. A museum in the town houses a series of casts of Bigfeet's footprints, photos, and other information and evidence about the being.

Ontario, Canada

A hunter and his wife thought it was a moose (麋鹿) call when they heard a long loud shout in the northwestern Ontario wilderness, but then they heard it again and found some big humanoid footprints. BFRO has 68 Bigfoot reports from Ontario, the most recent of which was in July 2020 when campers reported hearing howls and cracking branches near their campsite.

Michigan's Upper Peninsula

There have been hundreds of sightings of Bigfoot in the Upper Peninsula, and some witnesses claim to have seen entire packs of the ape-like creatures. The Upper Peninsula is heavily wooded and offers many areas for the monsters to hide.

Fouke, Arkansas

The small town in southwest Arkansas is known as the Bigfoot Capital of the midwestern state. A reported Bigfoot attack in Fouke even inspired a 1970s film called The Legend of Boggy Creek. When reports of the monster first made the rounds in the mid-1800s, residents assumed the creature was a survivor of the New Madrid earthquake who had lost his mind from the injury.

【1】What is special about Willow Creek?

A．It is home to various rare birds.

B．It is suitable to camp in all seasons.

C．It has a museum related to Bigfoot.

D．It is the best site to take pictures with friends.

【2】What do we know about the hunter and his wife?

A．They heard the strange sound only once.

B．They once watched a 1970s film together.

C．They might mistake the Bigfoot's shout as a deer call.

D．They were very interested in the lifestyle of wildlife.

【3】What caused the production of the film The Legend of Boggy Creek?

A．The Bigfoot attack.

B．The residents' response.

C．The earthquake's effects.

D．The serious injury of a survivor.

22、   John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.

Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination.

Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which had held such importance for her father.

In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John's life, his days in the British Navy during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.

Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of John's life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.

Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.

【1】Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel ______.

A.proud B.worried

C.curious D.guilty

【2】The underlined word 'ritual" in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A.law B.tradition

C.interest D.procedure

【3】We can infer from the text that John ______.

A.once served in both World Wars B.was a man with a grateful heart

C.spent his childhood in Bangor D.joined the navy in the 1970s

【4】What does the author mainly tell us in the text?

A.Her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.

B.The story of how she made friends with a lady.

C.Her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.

D.Her memories of a man who fed seagulls.

23、The latest addition to the Gtech garden power tools is a lightweight but powerful wireless Leaf Blower(吹落叶机). This autumn it will make the time of clearing leaves and garden pieces very short.

High performance

The 36V Lithium-ion Gtech Leaf Blower has the ability to clear pieces from your lawn, courtyard and driveway. The Leaf Blower uses a turbofan(涡轮风扇发动机) design that allows for a straight air passage from intake to outlet, offering maximum airflow and efficiency that turn the fan at 11,500 times a minute.

Complete control

The Gtech Leaf Blower is lightweight, at just 4.3 kg. It has been designed so that the battery and product weight are reasonably distributed. When in use, it will naturally point towards the ground to direct the airflow. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about injuring your wrists, even if you use it for an entire 20-minute run-time with full power. The variable trigger(扳机) allows for complete control –when you squeeze or release the trigger you will feel the airflow change to suit your garden needs.

Easy to use

The Gtech Leaf Blower is easy to use. There is no need to pull wires or top it up with fuel, so simply attach the battery and pull the trigger to start. The product’s wireless convenience means there are no wires to trip you up or limit your access, and no petrol to store up or pour—simply charge it and it’s ready to go. When you’re done, you can remove the detachable nozzle(管口), so the Gtech Leaf Blower is compact enough to be stored in small places.

Don’t just take our word for it

We really do care what you think. Go online to see the thousands of independent reviews our customers have given us, and check out our product video at www.gtch.co.uk.

24、   Who can be volunteering?

A Ugandan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) was formed by members of a rural community in South-west Uganda in 2007. They developed a local school for children aging from 3 to 15 from poor families, and started community based projects that will equip the young villagers with the skills and knowledge to face a safer and brighter future.

The project itself is well integrated into the community and those undertaking volunteering work are always given a warm welcome, especially by the local children who love spending time with volunteers from all ages and backgrounds.

Volunteering at Uganda Lodge is suitable for families, gap year teenagers, seniors etc.

For medical students we can offer you official medical elective course scores with no additional fees charged. Staying at Uganda Lodge could also count for the residential section of the Gold Award and Queens Scout Awards.

What can I do?

You need to speak English. Even if you are not a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) teacher (although useful!), you can go into the classrooms and make a meaningful difference. Experienced teachers can take over a whole class if they wish, after consulting with the teacher on content.

We now have over 500 students in the Ruhanga Development School and they are in urgent need of teachers. English conversation is needed for the older children in particular, also showing picture books etc. or simply talking to babies helps inspire their mental and physical growth.

Children at our kindergartens and primary schools do love help from our volunteers to learn new rhymes and songs, talk about pictures in books or get inspirations with craftwork and painting.

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 was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand.

Anil was about 25—a tall, thin fellow—and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I might be able to get into his confidence.

I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you.” I said.

“But I can't pay you.”

Perhaps I had misjudged the man. I asked, “Can you feed me?”

“Can you cook?”

“I can cook.” I lied.

“If you can cook, then I can feed you.”

The meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and old me to be off. But I just hung around smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.

Later he patted me on the head and said never mind, he'd teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve.

One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him put the money under the mattress (床垫).

It's time I did some real work, I told myself. After all, he doesn't even pay me.

Anil was asleep. I crept up to the bed. Anil was sleeping peacefully. My hand slid under the mattress, searching for the notes. When I found them, I drew them out without a sound. Anil sighed in his sleep and turned on his side, towards me. I was frightened and quickly crawled out of the room.

I began to run, holding the notes by the string of my pajamas (睡衣). But I slowed down and sat down in the shelter of the clock tower. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150词左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea.
