21、 Having lived together in the same city for thirty years, it is almost certain that Franz Schubert (1797-1828) and Beethoven (1770-1827) must have met one another on some occasion. However, the surviving evidence cannot be proved and the related accounts disagree with each other. This can be partly explained by Schubert's natural modesty(谦逊)and shyness of character, as well as Beethoven's increasing social distancing in his later years because of his deafness.
Still, we have reason to believe that the admiration between the two great musicians was mutual. Around one month before his death, Beethoven was presented with handwritten copies of various Schubert songs. After looking into the works of the younger composer, Beethoven is said to have spoken excitedly: “Truly, in this Schubert there is a great talent(天赋)!”Schubert also visited Beethoven's sickbed, and on 29 March 1827, he went to his funeral(葬礼). Twenty months later, on 19 November 1828, Schubert would pass away at the age of thirty-one.
On his deathbed, Schubert expressed the wish to listen to one of Beethoven's works. His friend and violinist Karl Holz along with other musicians from the composer's circle played one for him. Just days before Schubert's death, Holz, who had also been a friend of Beethoven, said: “The King of Harmony has sent the King of Song a friendly bidding(请求)to the crossing.”
“Who can ever do anything after Beethoven?” These were said to be the words of Schubert while still at a young age. An admirer of Beethoven, Schubert was influenced by the great composer, whose towering figure had thrown a large shadow(阴影)over the whole of Vienna's musical world. At Schubert's own request, he was buried next to Beethoven in Vienna. Even though they hardly met in the physical world, the two great musicians would stay together in the hereafter.
【1】What stopped Schubert and Beethoven from meeting each other?
A.Schubert's personality and Beethoven's disability.
B.Beethoven being much older than Schubert.
C.The competitive relationship between them.
D.The long distance between them.
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.Beethoven had a great interest in music.
B.Beethoven was productive and talented.
C.Beethoven appreciated Schubert's works.
D.Beethoven and Schubert died in the same year.
【3】Who is Karl Holz?
A.A piano player.
B.The King of Song.
C.The King of Harmony.
D.A friend of the two musicians.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To explain the reasons for developing lifelong friendships.
B.To describe the relationship between the two musicians.
C.To advise people to listen to great musical works.
D.To remember two world-famous musicians.
22、It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him,he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this,I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me,ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her.I asked her if she would try to get him to play,and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this,she could do that,she could try this idea,she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixyearold can,and said,“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone,silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off,hand in hand,happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment,about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid,little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think,how to approach problems,and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us,the teachers,as well as our kids.
【1】Why did the author worry about the boy?
A.He didn’t dare to look at the author in the eyes.
B.He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
C.He failed to understand what the author taught.
D.He was unwilling to communicate with others.
【2】By saying “I speak kid”,the girl meant that she could________.
A.speak the language that kids understand
B.speak the boy’s native language
C.know what kids want to say
D.speak well like a little kid
【3】The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to________.
A.play at break time B.learn from students
C.solve problems D.speak kid
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Gold will shine everywhere.
B.Children are more friendly than adults.
C.Teachers’ thoughts are different from students’.
D.You learn something every day if you pay attention.
23、 Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years.But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And, no, I don' t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished.Gunnoe’s research suggests they don' t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers (脾气).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.
【1】According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when____________.
A.they were dissatisfied with her grade
B.she showed no respect for the elder
C.they cannot control their temper
D.their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
【2】According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished ______.
A.are less aggressive toward others when they get older
B.have slower physical development
C.benefit from occasional spanking
D.may develop lower IQs than their peer
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B.Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C.Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D.Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
24、 Too many of us are waiting too long to live our best lives. We keep putting everything off until tomorrow. Then, before we know it, we find ourselves asking, "How did it get so late so soon?"So we’d better make today the beginning of our new life. Take time to figure ourselves out. 【1】Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn.Life is shorter than it often seems. Here are five things we should start doing today:
Accept ourselves. The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of ourselves. We will never become who we want to be if we rely on everyone else to qualify us. 【2】So always go with ourselves, never against ourselves. Be who we were created to be and we will set the world on fire.
Make ourselves a priority. To tell the truth, there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to us, so we should stay true to ourselves. Put our own needs into the list of things to do.
【3】Don’t sit back and let things happen to us. Go out and make things happen. We are what we do, not what we say we’ll do. Stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will". Turn our dreams into plans.
Do the work. We can’t underestimate(低估) a person who always works hard. Be that person. 【4】Always remember that the task ahead of us is never greater than the strength within us. Do what’s right, not what’s easy. Our dreams are worth it.
【5】We can’t force things to happen; we can only drive ourselves trying crazily. There’s a time and place for everything. So don’t force what’s not yet supposed to fit into our life. When it’s meant to be, it will be. Work hard, and be patient.
A.Take positive action.
B.Enjoy every moment of life.
C.Take time to realize what we want and need.
D.Everyone has a different way of life.
E.Accept ourselves just the way we are.
F.Allow life to happen like it’s supposed to.
G.In life, we don’t get what we wish for; we get what we work for.
25、A Singular Definition of Beauty

Before _______photos on the social network, many women use photo beatification apps to not only smoothen and whiten their skin but enlarge their eyes_______.It's common for _______ young women to have their freckles removed by laser, or to enlarge their eyes and shave their facial bones with plastic surgeries.
Fair, spotless skin is often connected with being elegant, pure and even _______. Freckles, meanwhile, are considered as dirty, ugly and a sign of ill-health.

This singular definition of beauty can create _______ for those who don't fit within it. I grew up thinking my freckles were _______ by most people. It was not until in college that my attitude changed, and it took another few years _______ I learned to truly love my freckles. I believe they make me _______ and beautiful.
The idea of having a single beauty standard is especially strange for a country as diverse as China. With 56 officially ________ minority groups, beauty here is rich and varied. Thankfully, the ________definition of beauty is slowly improving. The state-run newspaper China Daily took a firm stand and offered its support, with an article calling on people to be culturally confident and ________ what we have naturally.

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。
“Look at the little dog!” a girl shouted from across the street. “She’s got rain boots (靴子)!” I smiled and waved. I would never have put clothes on any animal I owned, but Velma wasn’t my dog. I’d just offered to walk her this morning because my friend, Arlene, fell ill. When Arlene had asked me to walk Velma, I’d been happy to volunteer. But I was less pleased when Arlene made me spend 20 minutes putting on Velma’s raincoat and four tiny rain boots. Once outside, I had expected to walk Velma around quickly. But with all the people stopping me every few minutes to talk about the little dog, it was taking me a long time. It was a moment of letting my unhappy feeling away to get her back home. I had done my good deed (行为) and could finally go off to work before I was late.
As I turned to go, Arlene said at the door. “Thank you so much. I’ll see you again at noon.” “Wait, what?” I was shocked by her words. “That’s when Velma gets her next walk,” Arlene said as if I’d somehow agreed to a whole daily schedule, “I’m sorry, Arlene,” I said. “I have to be at work.” “Oh,” Arlene said, “I guess we’ll see you at six then.” “Great,” I said, making my escape. 10 minutes later I realized that I’d just agreed to walk her dog again at six! How had I let that happen? I agreed to do things I really didn’t want to do.
That day was just the beginning. All the next week, Arlene “reminded” me to walk Velma at various times throughout the day. “Velma loves you,” she said one evening when I came to get the dog. “Sometimes I think she likes you better.” That sent a shake down my body. Was Arlene trying to make me Velma’s long-time dog walker? God, what have I gotten myself into?
