21、   Every day, on British radio stations and on television, you can hear it. It gives the time before BBC radio news programmes, and on the BBC World Service. And you can hear it and see it every evening before ITV's "News at Ten". 【1】

If you have been to London, you have certainly seen "Big Ben". It's very difficult to miss, standing almost 100 metres high beside the Thames, next to the Houses of Parliament. 【2】 But in reality, "Big Ben" is just the name of the biggest bell in the tower. The famous clock tower was built in the 1850s, after the Houses of Parliament were burned down.

The new clock was to be the biggest in the world, and extremely accurate. Lots of people thought that this would be impossible; a very big clock, they thought, could not be very accurate. 【3】 And the clock has always kept time almost perfectly.

The original "Big Ben" bell weighed 16 tons, and was made in the North of England. However, after it had reached London, but before it had been put in place, it cracked! So the original bell was therefore melted down (in London) and a new Big Ben was made and put in place in July 1859... but after two months it cracked.【4】A smaller hammer was put in place, and Big Ben began chiming (报时）again in 1862.

Since then, there have been several incidents. 【5】 And in 1976, the clock stopped for 26 days, when a part of the mechanism broke…after 114 years of service! Recently, engineers have decided that the tower and the clock were both in need of urgent repairs. Work began in 2017, and unless there are some unexpected problems, Big Ben will begin a new life in the year 2021.

A.In fact, they were wrong.

B.The Big Ben has a long history.

C.Experts decided that the hammer was too big.

D.Once the clock stopped when a pot of paint got stuck between its hands!

E.The name "Big Ben" is generally used to refer to the big clock tower itself.

F.Almost all the tourists visiting London prefer to take many photos of Big Ben.

G.The chimes of Big Ben are recognized by almost everyone in Britain, and by millions of people all over the world.

22、My first memory of academic anxiety was when I was in second grade. I had nightmares about forgetting to do worksheets.

【1】 It’s not surprising that it found its way to me — in many ways, my younger experiences with academic anxiety mirror my mother’s. The way I experience the world around me has been shaped by anxiety for as far back as my memory could take me.

In high school, test anxiety ruled my world. Small quizzes would have me ready to throw up; big exams made me extremely tired. 【2】 But I’d have to learn to deal with it.

When the pandemic (流行病) forced school to move online, school became more flexible and it was a lot less serious. Assignments and tests were structured differently and things began to gently shift for me. 【3】 Being able to take assessments from my own room, completely alone, also helped calm my nerves. And my teachers provided me with comfort I needed.

We should not wait for help. 【4】 Recently, a midterm didn’t trigger panic. No extreme exhaustion or uneasiness, just healthy nervousness. The night before the test, I watched TV, just thinking mostly about what I was going to order at Starbucks when I finished. 【5】 Achieving this mental state required significant time and energy. If anxiety is sure to come, I’ll continue getting rid of it.

A．I couldn’t imagine another way.

B．This anxiousness comes from my family.

C．These thoughts would awake me at night.

D．Open-note tests helped me relieve my anxiety.

E．Although anxiety is still here, it’s not my “normal”.

F．It was a struggling way to pull myself through exams.

G．Instead, we should work on ourselves, and change for better ourselves.

23、There are many people who could be Olympic Champions. I’d estimate (估计) five million people could have beaten me in the pole-vault(撑杆跳高) on the years when I won it, at least five million. Men were stronger, bigger, and faster than I could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, never made the efforts to vault their legs off the ground to try to get over the bar.

Greatness is all around us. It’s easy to be great because great people will help you. What was fantastic about all the conventions(大会) I went to was that the greatest in the business would come and share their ideas, their methods and their techniques with everyone else. I have seen the greatest salesmen showing young salesmen exactly how they did it. They didn’t hold back. I have also found it true in the world of sports.

I’ll never forget the time I was trying to break Dutch Warmer Dam’s record. I was about a foot below his record, so I called him on the phone. I said, “Dutch, can you help me? I seem to have leveled off. I can’t get any higher.”

He said, “Sure, Bob, come on up to visit me and I’ll give you all I got.” I spent three days with the master, the greatest pole-vaulter in the world. For three days, Dutch gave me everything he’d seen. There were things that I was doing wrong and he corrected them. To make a long story short, I went up eight inches. That great guy gave me the best that he had.

Great people will share. Great people will tell you their secrets. Look for them, call them on the phone or buy their books. Go where they are, get around them and talk to them. It is easy to be great when you get around great people.

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。

Jules had just spent another six hours helping her grandmother picking peaches. After school summer holiday began, she was sent to this farmland at her grandma's house, picking and canning fruit for two weeks. She used to spend her holidays and have lots of fun here every year, enjoying horse-riding, looking at animals at daytime and appreciating fireflies (萤火虫)at night. But since her grandpa died six years earlier, Jules hadn't visited the farm.

Now Jules opened her phone again, praying for bars (手机信号),but there was nothing. She felt frustrated and bored. Looking out of the window, Jules saw nothing but the large farmland and the small forest between Grandma and her neighbor's farmland. She felt even more bored.

The large corn field outside was rent by a fat and ugly-looking man now. After Grandpa died, Grandma just worked in her garden and mainly grew vegetables and fruits. When she needed other food, she just bought it in town twice a month. Jules had asked Grandma if she felt lonely here, the answer was NO. "I've got all I need right here. Your grandpa is still with me, in my heart, and this land is all I have ever known," Grandma said.

After Grandma went to bed at night, Jules decided to read her novel a bit before bed. Two pages into her reading, Jules heard something outside the window. Walking close to the window, Jules looked out and found a boy about her age standing down there in the moonlight. With a flashlight under his face, the boy was holding his finger over his lips. He motioned (示意)for Jules to come outside. She shook her head, feeling slightly nervous, but the boy just kept motioning. Then, Jules decided that anything would be more interesting than bed and she got out of the house quietly.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Once Jules was outside, she recognized the boy.
