21、   Little boys don't like reading any more and even little girls don' t enjoy it as much as they once did: this is the accepted wisdom inside the book industry –and in many British families, too. Parents and booksellers tend to blame the growing appeal of online entertainment and handheld games, but research from the US is challenging these assumptions.

Michael Norris, an American publishing expert, will release findings in the monthly Book Publishing Report which show that, despite the best intentions, it is well-meaning mothers and fathers who often stop their sons and daughters from picking up the reading habit.

Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their child is going to read," said Norris. It is turning children off. "

The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American booksellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.

0ne of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a book seller, while parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. Even if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will not be the same answer they would give alone, said Norris.

Norris said, “What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too young or too old for a child. If it is children’s favorite book, then let them take it.” Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for then let them take it.” Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young, which, I think, was totally wrong, and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.

【1】What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading?

A. Children’s interest in handheld games

B. The declining market of the book industry

C. Parents’ influence on children’s book selection

D. The growing popularity of online entertainment

【2】What do we know about the new study?

A. It is meaningless

B. It mainly focuses on British families

C. It is published to improve book sales

D. It is mainly carried out by Norris

【3】What should parents do to help kids get their favorite books at bookstore?

A. Introduce new books regularly

B. Discuss popular books with their children

C. Let children choose books for themselves

D. Often seek expert advice from booksellers

【4】What did Norris think of his father’s act?

A. It showed parents’ worries about kids

B. It made him love reading

C. It was quite necessary

D. It was totally wrong

22、Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes — a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.

Do you envy them？What sort of life are models leading？Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?

A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine — models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.

Interviews for a model job are known as cattle markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell him or her in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.

Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.

【1】For models, their good looks and tight figures are _________,compared with their intelligence and qualifications.

A. more important   B. less needed

C. less essential   D. more looked down upon

【2】Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage？

A. A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.

B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.

C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.

D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.

【3】Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because _______.

A. They want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans

B. A person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies

C. Models are sometimes looked down upon

D. Secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty

【4】What may be the author’s attitude towards modeling?

A. It’s a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.

B. He is in favor of young people to try modeling.

C. Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties.

D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.

【5】The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _____________.

A. doubtfully   B. excitedly

C. proudly   D. sadly

23、The 2021 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to the novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah, for his "compassionate insight of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)".

Gurnah is a Tanzanian writer who writes in English and lives and works in the United Kingdom. He was born in Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous island off the east African coast. Zanzibar underwent a revolution in 1964 in which citizens of Arab origin were persecuted (迫害). Gurnah was forced to flee the country when he was 18. He began to write in English as a 21-year-old refugee in England. He has written numerous works that pose questions around ideas of belonging, colonialism, displacement, memory and migration.

He is one of the most important contemporary postcolonial novelists writing in Britain today and is the first black African writer to win the prize since Wole Soyinka in 1986. Gurnah is also the first Tanzanian writer to win.

Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel committee, said that the Gurnah's novels abandon stereotypical descriptions and turn our eyes to a culturally diverse East Africa unfamiliar to many in other parts of the world.

Gurnah, who was in the kitchen when he was informed of his win, said that he believed it was a wind-up.

"I thought it was a prank (恶作剧)," he said. "These things are usually floated for weeks in advance, or sometimes months beforehand, about who are the runners, so it was not something that was in my mind at all. I was just thinking, I wonder who'll get it?"

"I am honored to be awarded this prize and to join the writers who have been superior to me on this list. It is overwhelming and I am so proud."

His longtime editor, Alexandra Pringle at Bloomsburg, said Gurnah's win was "most deserved" for a writer who has not previously received due recognition.

【1】Why is Gurnah awarded the Nobel Prize in literature?

A．He has rich experience of life.

B．He is a productive author.

C．He has gained popularity among readers.

D．He explores the suffering caused by war and colonialism.

【2】What do we know about Gurnah?

A．He lives in Zanzibar.

B．He is the first to win the Nobel Prize.

C．He used to be a refugee.

D．He adopts Arabic as his literary language.

【3】What was Gurnah's first reaction to his award?

A．Surprised.

B．Honored.

C．Delighted.

D．Proud.

【4】What did Alexandra Pringle think of Gurnah's win?

A．It depended on luck.

B．It was an overdue recognition.

C．It made East Africa known.

D．It was an unfair decision.

24、There’s something fascinating about discovering a local pub and enjoying a hometown alcoholic drink. Also, you may explore these cities for an entirely new drinking experience.

Tokyo for Underground Sake (清酒)

There’s no better city in the world for sake than Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese have a strong tradition of making sake, a drink made from rice. The drink has a rich cultural background that makes drinking sake a celebration with every sip. You can even have a drink inside the railway station which opens at 7 a. m. when you wait for the train. Sometimes the amazing flavor is presented unexpectedly.

London for Drinks “Shaken and Not Stirred”

Though British icon James Bond's fascination with gin martinis seemed to have pushed gin (杜松子酒) into the global view, London has a long history of gin drinking and many gin lovers throughout the country. The old-time menus in many bars make local people emotional, reminding them of the simpler old days only London can claim.

St. Petersburg for a Lux Vodka (伏特加)Selection

St. Petersburg enjoys a wide variety of bars meant for that original Russian vodka experience including the famous bar ryumochnaya. The bar was originally meant to defy the misbehavior of labeling people. It was a place for everyone to just enjoy a drink. A billionaire could be sitting happily next to a worker. Today in spite of many other bars with higher-end atmosphere than the ryumochnaya, the old bar still remains the best vodka bar of the city with the most varied customers.

New Orleans for the First Cocktail (鸡尾酒)

New Orleans is home to what many believe is America’s first cocktail the Sazerac. In 1838 Antoine Peychaud used two kinds of alcoholic drinks to create the delicious cocktail and kicked off a drink revolution.

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。

My name is Yoon, a girl who came here from Korea, a country far away. Soon after we settled in America, it was time to celebrate my birthday. I was hoping for a very special present—a jump rope. I watched the girls in my school yard turning such a rope and jumping and singing happy songs. I wanted so much to jump and sing with them, the ponytail girl, the golden-hair girl and the freckle boy. But I was still the new girl.

On my birthday, my mother handed me a lovely box, inside which was a pale green bracelet. “A jade bracelet, Yoon. My own mother gave me this very bracelet. Now I am giving it to you. A precious gem for a precious daughter.” my mother said. “Look, Yoon, here is your Korean name inside.” She showed me the dancing symbols that meant Shining Wisdom. I tried to contain my disappointment, I liked the bracelet, but my heart still longed for a jump rope.

At lunch time the next day at school, an older girl from another class sat down beside me. “You are wearing such a pretty bracelet, and you are alone today. I will be your friend. Would you like to play jump rope with me?” But the only thing that she asked me to do was to turn around the rope until I grew tired. “When will I jump?” I asked. “Tomorrow.” the older girl said. The bell rang, and she took the rope from me. “I really like your bracelet,” she said. In America, friends share things, so you should let me wear it.” My birthday bracelet? No, no, I shook my head. But quickly the older girl grabbed the bracelet from me and twisted it onto her own wrist.

The next morning I waited in the school yard for the older girl who was still wearing my jade bracelet. I asked her to give it back to me, but she refused. “Stop bothering me! Don’t be a pest!” she pushed me away and laughed.
