21、When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.
【1】With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often ________.
A. kept watering them every morning
B. beat them to make them grow deep roots
C. talked to them to get their attention
D. paid little attention to them
【2】Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?
A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.
B. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.
C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.
D. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.
【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Prayers for my sons B. Doctor Gibbs and his trees
C. Growing roots D. Watering trees
22、Like many constructions, it started small. But now thousands of children with autism (自闭症) are making friends and learning social skills by playing a special version of online building game Minecraft.
Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well as bringing up a son with autism. Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy about a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness. However, despite loving the game, many of the children were being bullied (霸凌) by other players.
So, in 2013, Duncan, a web developer in Canada, set up a server to run a version of Minecraft only for children with autism and their families. He thought the invite-only server would attract 10 or 20 people, but hundreds requested to join in the first few days. Now, almost three years later, running the special version, Autcraft, is his full-time job. The community has nearly 7000 members, along with a team of engineers to help manage its many activities. “Parents see such a benefit for themselves and their children,” says Duncan.
In Minecraft, you use blocks of materials like wood and stone to build whatever you like. “This is a great way for them to play a game they love, but also have a social experience,” says Kate Ringland from the University of California, who has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world, watching how the kids play and chat to one another. “It’s giving an alternative way for these kids to express themselves and communicate without the stresses of the physical life stuff.”
Everyday social situations can be challenging for autistic children, who may struggle to pick up on social signals or understand another person’s viewpoint. Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of the real world. There is no noisy or unfamiliar environment to distract (使分心) you, no pressure to track the other person’s facial expressions or worry about eye contact. Joining a community like Autcraft could be a good first step to feeling less socially anxious and more engaged.
【1】What inspired Duncan to run Autcraft?
A.Online Bullying.
B.His son’s request.
C.Some parents’ advice.
D.His blog about autism.
【2】What can we learn about Autcraft from Paragraph 3?
A.It has about 7,000 engineers.
B.It was an unexpected success.
C.It helped parents play with their kids.
D.It remains accessible to all the people.
【3】How does Minecraft help children according to Duncan?
A.By teaching communication skills.
B.By solving their real world problems.
C.By explaining other people’s viewpoints.
D.By offering stress-free social experiences.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.How Can We Deal With Autism?
B.What Makes Minecraft So Famous?
C.Why Do Online Games Benefit Children?
D.How Does Autcraft Help Autistic Children?
23、 Teenagers have their own thoughts and act like they know almost anything. However, in reality they don’t have much experience. So it’s not easy when you have to deal with these difficult teenagers. 【1】
1. Keep calm
It is easy for difficult teenagers to make you lose control and act improperly. 【2】 When you feel angry or challenged by a teen, take a deep breath and count slowly to ten, and then deal with the problem after you become calm again.
2. Set up clear boundaries(界限)
Since most teenagers want to experience greater independence and selfhood, some will challenge you in order to test their power. It’s very important to set boundaries. 【3】 The first boundary in almost any situation is that you will be treated with respect. In addition to respect, there may also be a list of family, classroom, or team ground rules.
3. Pay attention to the leader
Many teachers know that when they face a group of difficult students in class, it’s not necessary to deal with every student. 【4】 Another management skill is to separate challenging persons so that they’re less likely to form a group and feed off each other.
4. Show understanding
【5】 Say to yourself with some humor and then get on with your business.
A. The first rule is to keep calm.
B. Below are keys to deal with them.
C. Make use of useful communication.
D. At worst this may make you the other side.
E. When a teenager is in difficulty, show understanding.
F. Useful boundaries are those which are fair and reasonable.
G. Usually, by dealing with the leader, the rest of the group will follow.
24、Peer Pressure
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they influence you on your decision or action, it’s called peer pressure. All of us, at some point in our lives, have had to deal with peer pressure. The need to follow the crowd and do what majority of us are doing forces us to take up activities which we wouldn’t otherwise.
Recent studies have shown that peer pressure might cause an upside to you. It can make you reflect on your actions and make changes to your ways to become a better one. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. When a teen knows that his teammates are practicing hard to become better players then it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team.
Having a group that brings positive peer pressure can also help you pick up healthy habits that can shape both your personality and your future. The motivation to do well because of pressure from your peers can actually become inspiration. For example, when a child knows that some of his friends regularly read storybooks, he may get into the habit of reading. Seeing that his friends exercise daily, even he may take up the habit and adopt it in life.
Just as some influences can be positive, some can be negative too. Peer pressure sometimes can make a dip in your self-confidence. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that others might make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others go along because they are curious to try something new. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” can influence them to leave their better judgment behind. Besides, peer pressure can distance you from your family and friends. It is common for teenagers to think that nobody understands them and that the whole world is against them. The influence of peer pressure is such that it draws them completely away from their family and friends who mean well. They just shut themselves off and fall into bad company.
It’s likely that you’ve experienced the effect of peer pressure in different areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to. Sometimes it can be hard to resist and you may feel forced to do something you’re uncomfortable with. So being aware of and carefully choosing the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy experiences is a lifelong process.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.A quick reaction.
B.A positive effect.
C.A serious challenge.
D.A potential conflict.
【2】According to the author, peer pressure can get teenagers to ________.
A.become less self-confident
B.provide a model for teammates
C.identify characteristics of different habits
D.improve relationship with family members
【3】What does the author think of peer pressure?
A.It makes no difference to teens’ judgment.
B.It influences teens to fit into various lifestyles.
C.It helps teens to relieve the uncomfortable feeling.
D.It seems like a common phenomenon among teens.

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。
Thoa Bui was a local animal lover. She had rescued many animals over the years. When a sweet little cat was found alone next to her co-worker's house, her heart broke. So Thoa was-ted no time taking her into her home. Thoa recalled that this baby cat was "skinny, dirty and dying".
Thoa named the cute cat, Rosie. Thoa was ready and willing to do whatever to save this small animal. The poor kitty was abandoned from her mother at such a young age, and Thoa was getting nervous that Rosie wouldn't make it another night without eating properly. So, if Thoa herself couldn't help Rosie feel safe enough, perhaps another animal could help. As soon as Thoa brought in her cherished pet, Lilo the husky(哈士奇), into the room, everything changed for Rosie.
Together, the two instantly shared a special bond. Lilo lay down with Rosie, and as the minutes went by, it was clear that Rosie felt even more secure and out of harm's way. Lilo was never a mother. But it seems like her maternal instincts(母性)are incredibly strong! Lilo never left Rosie's side for hours. Once Rosie finally felt safe from Lilo's welcoming warmth and comfort, she started crying for food, and the little kitty tried sucking on Lilo to get some milk, as if she was Rosie's mother.
"She knew that Rosie needed her. She accompanied her until she was better,"Thoa said, "It looks like both filled up a missing spot in each other's heart. " Rosie felt secure with Lilo, and it was clear that Lilo felt the same with Rosie. Lilo laid by Rosie's side for hours, and didn't even get up to eat that night! Thoa had to actually bring Lilo's food to her. But Thoa would have never expected what was going to happen next between the two lovely creatures.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

One day, Thoa took Lilo out, leaving Rosie at home.
