22、Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you, I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught, fire, there was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames.

Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for fire damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love,

Susan.

23、Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, informing you of any traffic, pedestrians, animals or other things nearby. Routes and names of road appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.

This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be very soon. In 2014, the WorldView-3 satellite was sent into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles (600km) away, it can take images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches (25cm) across. Looking all the way from outer space, it can make out a smart phone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are travelling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers.

According to some reports, this satellite and other US satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution of up to around 4 inches (10cm). But US law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem scary. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could be used to keep tabs on anybody at any time, without the person's knowledge. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he couldn't imagine what this could mean for privacy. "Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money, you can have that imagery. It means anyone can spy on anyone." he said.

At the same time, live, detailed maps of the Earth's surface could aid humanity in amazing ways. Satellite images can help experts track storms as they form and chart their paths. At high detail, live maps of a disaster area could quickly reveal people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellites images are already helping the police catch illegal fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops or for scientists to find minerals. Also, these images play a very important role in monitoring the health of forests and other landscapes.

What do you think? Would you like to see everyone accessing high-detail live maps of the Earth's surface? Please share your idea with us on the website.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?

A．By telling a story.

B．By supposing a situation.

C．By making a comparison.

D．By using a research finding.

【2】What can the WorldView-3 satellite do?

A．Tell how a person looks.

B．Identify what a pedestrian is holding.

C．Help farmers sow seeds for their crops.

D．Read a running car's license plate number.

【3】What kind of feeling was expressed in Ray Purdy's words?

A．Regret.

B．Excitement.

C．Concern.

D．Sympathy.

【4】What's the best title of the passage?

A．Anyone can spy on anyone

B．Criminals have nowhere to hide

C．More satellites into space: good or bad?

D．A live map of everywhere on Earth:scary or cool?

24、Loneliness generally visits all of us at one time or another in our lives and we wonder how to cure loneliness. Loneliness is an intense feeling of being deserted or abandoned by everyone. 【1】. Fortunately, it is possible to ease your loneliness or even get rid of the feelings of loneliness altogether.

Keep busy. If you are lonely, don’t keep thinking about it. Get up and get out! 【2】. Don’t worry if you don’t know any of them; sometimes being around other people can help brighten your spirits. Other simple things you can do to keep busy are to join a club, take some classes, volunteer at a non-profit organization, or take up a hobby that requires mental concentration. 【3】.

Help other lonely people. 【4】. They suffer a lot from being lonely and don’t know how to cope with their loneliness. If you look for those people and strive to help cure their loneliness, in the end you will also be helping yourself to cure your own loneliness.

See it for what it is. You will need to start to view loneliness as a choice and not as a defined way of life. 【5】. Try being happy for a change and you will see the difference a smile will make. Just as feelings of loneliness breed more feelings of loneliness, feeling of happiness can bring about more feelings of happiness.

A．Commit yourself to some cause or charity

B．Go somewhere where there are a lot of people

C．There are a lot of people out there like yourself

D．Not everyone is willing to admit that he’s lonely

E．If left untreated, loneliness can lead to many problems

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

There is a farm not far from the coastline. It belongs to a man called Tom. Tom couldn’t do everything by himself on the farm. Thus, he needed to hire one man to help him run the farm. However, no one worked on his farm for long. Why？Because the work was too tiring. Since the farm is near the sea, there are often storms from the sea that strike his farm. When a storm comes, Tom and the man he hired have to get up quickly and try to reduce the losses caused by the storm. Therefore, no one liked working there. Tom had to look for people to work for him all the time.

One day, a man called Henry read the poster that Tom had put up and then came to his farm.

“Sir, I can work for you ,” said Henry.

Tom looked at Henry. This young man was neither strong nor tall.

“Are you sure?”asked Tom.

“Yes, sir. I can do the work well. But you must pay me twice what you paid others before,” said that young man.

Tom was surprised. He didn’t really believe such a man could do the work well. But it was really hard for him to find someone else to work for him. At last, he decided to give Henry a try. However, before hiring him, he said, “Can you really be a good helper？The work on the farm is hard and tiring. And there are often storms.”

Henry smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I can be a good helper. You’ll see. And storms won’t be a problem. They won’t even disturb our sleep. We can sleep very well even on stormy nights.”

And then Henry stayed on the farm. To Tom’s joy, Henry worked hard and did his work well. It was obvious that he hadn’t lied.

However, one night, there was a big storm. Tom was woken up by the strong wind. He was worried that the storm would cause great losses for his farm. And he saw his helper nowhere.

Paragraph 1

Tom thought Henry must still be sleeping.
