21、Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water  we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

【1】Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A. Using river water.

B. Paving parking lots.

C. Throwing batteries away.

D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

B．All water shortages are due to human behavior.

C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.

【3】The last paragraph is intended to ________.

A. show us how to fix leaks at home

B. tell us how to run a dishwasher

C. suggest what we do to save water at home

D. prove what drinking glass is best for us

【4】The text is mainly about ________.

A. why paving roads reduces our water

B. how human activity affects our water supply

C. why droughts occur more in dry climates

D. how much we depend on water to live

22、There are many reasons why we journal. From travel journals, dream journals, to gratitude journals, we keep specific journals for different aspects of our life. 【1】 Here are the top 4 reasons why you should be starting a journal today.

Improve your writing. Journaling helps you to train your writing. If you want to practice or improve on your writing, the best thing to do is to start a journal. You may not have the perfect topic. 【2】 The more you write, the more your writing improves.

Allow yourself to self-reflect. As Ferris Bueller once said, “ Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Journaling is a good way to help us to stop, take a step back and reflect on ourselves. 【5】 Daily reflection can also be done at night before bed. We can look back at our life in a journal and think about how we've changed and what we can do to improve ourselves.

There are many other benefits to keep a journal. You'll discover more when you start one!

24、   Thanks to world-famous Colombian writer Garcia Marquez, many people think of Latin America as a land of magic. In his books, impossible things happen.

【1】 It may come from the mix of different cultures and ethnicities in Latin America. Although some of these differences have caused conflicts, they have also been a source of beauty, as well as encouraged people in Latin America to be more open-minded.

25、   Suppose that 54.3 percent of your country’s population had cancer. That figure might set off a nationwide _______—a search for something wrong with people’s diet, the environment, acidity levels. In fact, that’s the percentage of Americans who show a positive skin response to one or more allergens.

The ______ of allergy—sneezing, itching, rashes—are signs of an immune system running amok, attacking foreign invaders—allergens—that mean no harm. Allergies _______ kill. They just make the sufferer miserable—sometimes for brief periods, and sometimes for life.

Allergies are essentially an epidemic of modernity. As countries become more industrialized, the percentage of population affected by them tends to grow higher. There are remote areas of South America or Africa where allergies are virtually _______.

Here’s how an allergy develops: One day, a body is exposed to a protein in something that seems perfectly ________—the wheat flour, say, in a home-baked muffin. But for some unclear reason, the body looks at the protein and sees trouble. There will be no _______ at first, but the body is remembering—and planning.

That first exposure causes the immune system to produce an antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E). Then IgE antibodies attach to certain cells, called mast cells, in tissue throughout the body. There they stay like _______ soldiers waiting for war. With a second exposure, even months later, some of the allergen binds with the IgE on the mast cell. This time the mast cell releases a flood of _____ chemicals, which cause inflammation and itching.

There is, unquestionably, a _______ component to allergies. A child with one asthmatic parent has a good chance of developing the condition. If both parents have asthma, the chance of occurrence increases.

Still, the rise in allergies is too rapid to be explained ________ by genetics. “The genetic pool can’t change that much in such a short time,” says Donald Leung, director of an allergy-immunology program in the U.S. “There have to be environmental and _______ factors as well.” Dozens of theories have blamed everyone from urban landscapers for _______ male plants (the ones that produce pollen), to women who don’t breastfeed. Breastfeeding, the theory goes, confers greater protection against allergies.

Another probable factor: diet. “Reduced fresh fruit and vegetable intake, more processed food, fewer antioxidants, and low intake of some minerals—these are all shown to be a _______,” says professor of medicine Harold Nelson, considered one of the foremost experts on allergies in the U.S.

Another prime culprit: environmental pollutants. Exactly what pollutants and in what quantities are a _______ of heated debate. One of dozens of examples: Children who are raised near major highways and are exposed to diesel fumes from trucks register a(n) ______ sensitivity to allergens they already react to.

【1】A.awareness B.shame C.panic D.campaign

【2】A.causes B.diagnosis C.features D.manifestation

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。

One Saturday morning, Jeremy woke up to a quiet house. Usually, Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, but not today. At the sound of his mom coughing, Jeremy knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern if she was okay. “Honey,” Mom said weakly. “I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal (燕麦) for breakfast and watch cartoons. I’m going to stay in bed.”

Jeremy poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Jeremy help? First, he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do? Jeremy thought. Saturday was the day when mom did some washing. Jeremy loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the clothes basket, inside which there was his mother’s favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks.

Jeremy opened the door to the washer and put the clothes inside. He had watched Mom do the washing lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START.” Jeremy looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble around. That was easy!

Jeremy watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep. That meant the washing was done. Jeremy opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer. Everything seemed clean, and Jeremy felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右

2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

But he remembered there was no pink dress in the clothes basket.
