21、 In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month passed, I decide to read at least one poem a day after scanning the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to the free online poetry-in-your-inbox services, it’s been an easy resolution（解决办法）to keep.
Poem-a-Day was started during National Poetry Month in 2016, and it focuses on new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends.
Ted Kooser offers a similar service through his American Life in Poetry Series, though it’s a weekly, rather than a daily. Kooser briefly introduces each week’s poem, offering a little bit of information about the selection, the writer, and books where readers can turn to if they want more work from the featured poet.
Reading at least one poem a day has been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a small dose（剂量）of literature even on busy days when I can’t get to the novels and non-fiction on my desk beside the bed. Another benefit has been connecting with a lot of talented poets I wouldn’t otherwise know about. Poetry being what it is, even the best talents in the style can work in relative obscurity（朦胧）. Maybe the biggest benefit of reading a poem every morning has been the chance to see the familiar in new ways.
Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it.
【1】The author intends to read a poem every morning by means of ________.

A.The best way of reading poems.
B.The poems that the author likes best.

D.the author decides to give up reading poems in summer
22、The other day, I was purchasing some gifts in a store. Standing at the counter was an elderly lady who immediately drew my attention. She looked to be at my mother's age. I smiled to her while noticing her shock of white hair, clear blue eyes behind her glasses and gentle smile.
She smiled back and asked, “What's your name?”? I replied, “Seena. What's yours?” Her answer was “What a lovely name. My name is Rose.”
After putting away her wallet, Rose searched through her bag and wasn't having an easy time. She asked me, “Would you mind helping me look for something in my bag? It's so heavy, and I can never find anything.” Rose was melting my heart.
“Sure. What are you looking for?” I asked. She replied, “I need to find my telephone book so I can call a taxi.” I asked her where she was going, and Rose responded with the “Simpson House”. I felt a warm connection to my new acquaintance and said, “I pass right by Simpson House. I'd be happy to drive you home.” Rose responded jokingly, “Are you sure I'm a good person?” I replied, “I am as sure as I can be. Let's go.”
We walked out to my car and I opened the door for her. She said, “I'm OK getting in but I need some help with the seatbelt.” It reminded me of all the times my mom waited for my assistance to get into my car.
Once we were driving, Rose said, “In all my years nobody ever offered to give me a ride. I feel blessed to know you.” Rose did most of the talking, and we laughed a lot.
We arrived at her place. I got out of the car to meet her on the passenger's side and to open her door. She said, “I can get out.” Rose's parting words were “I hope I see you again,” and mine were “I would like that.” With a wave, we both walked away.

A．Rose looked elegant and powerful.
B．Seena felt being trusted by a stranger.
C．Rose praised Seena for the lovely name.
D．Seena was happy to be younger than Rose.
【2】What was Rose trying to find in her bag?
A．Her wallet.
B．Her cellphone.
C．Her glasses.
D．Her telephone book.
【3】Why did Seena mention her own mother?
A．To stress Rose's positive life.
B．To show her love for her mother.
C．To imply Rose in great need of help.
D．To remind herself to care more about her mother.
【4】What kind of person is Rose?
A．Helpful and serious.
B．Honest and optimistic.
C．Considerate and ambitious.
D．Humorous and independent.
23、The human societies that have the fewest social divisions are known as hunting and gathering societies. As the name implies, these groups depend on hunting and gathering for their survival. In some, the men hunt animals and the women gather plants. In others, both men and women (and children) gather plants, the men hunt large animals, and both men and women hunt small animals. Beyond this basic division of labor by sex, there are few social divisions. The groups usually have a shaman, an individual thought to be able to influence spiritual forces, but shamans, too, must help obtain food.
In addition to sex, the major unit of organization within the group is the family. Most members of the group are related by shared ancestors or marriage. Because the family is the only social structure in these societies, it performs many functions that in modern societies are divided among different institutions. Thus, the family distributes food to its members, educates its children (especially in food skills), gives medicine to the sick, and so on.
Hunters and gatherers are the most equal of all societies. Because the food that they hunt and gather cannot be preserved or stored, the people cannot accumulate possessions. Thus, no one becomes wealthier than anyone else. There are no rulers, and most decisions are arrived at through discussion. Because their needs are basic and they do not accumulate possessions, hunters and gatherers have the most leisure time of all human groups.
All human groups were once hunters and gatherers, and until several hundred years ago, such societies were common. Their way of life ended when other groups took over the areas on which they depended for their food. Today only a few remain, such as the Pygmies of central Africa, the San of the Namibian desert, and the Aborigines of Australia.
【1】According to paragraph 1, in hunting and gathering societies, social divisions are mainly based on ________.
A．different responsibilities for finding food
B．how many possessions a person has
C．the size of a person’s family
D．the ability to influence spiritual forces
【2】According to the text, in hunting and gathering societies, the most important social structure is ________.
A．education
B．government
C．family
D．religion
【3】According to paragraph 3, people in hunting and gathering societies CANNOT ________.
A．store food for future use
B．make decisions as a group
C．meet their basic needs
D．enjoy very much leisure time
【4】In paragraph3, the word “possessions” is closest in meaning to ________.
A．knowledge
B．property
C．sickness
D．relationships
【5】It can be inferred from the passage that hunting and gathering societies ________.
A．were limited in the past to Africa and Australia
B．no longer exist
C．are the oldest form of human society
D．easily coexist with farming societies
24、 Mama Cax, a model and motivational speaker, died in 2019 at the age of 30.
The Haitian-born model’s family took to her Instagram account on Friday to announce the tragic news, revealing that she passed away on Monday, Dec. 16th. The news also reads, “To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life’s challenges directly and successfully. It is with that same grit that she fought her last days on Earth.”
When she was 14, Cax was found to have bone and lung cancers and later had to have her right leg cut off. From then on, she wore an artificial leg for the last 16 years of her life. Mama Cax never lost heart. “I recognize how lucky I am and that many can’t afford medical treatments,” said Cax. “I feel like I’m in a position to make a difference and one day I will be an advocate for people with disabilities.”
In addition to walking the runway in New York’s Fashion Week, Cax was a strong advocate for disabled models. She broke down barriers in the fashion world as a disabled model with a history of fighting difficult health battles.
And she was also a successful blogger with a huge following. She wrote blogs about travel, food and fashion and was an inspiration to many people. “Scars, we can hate them but they remain part of us. They tell the stories of our struggle and survival. They represent the battles we’ve won” said Cax. “As women we were used to letting others judge our worth. My advice to any young woman out there is, to know your worth, figure out what you want, set up a plan and go for it.”
Cax loved sports, especially rock climbing. “I like to challenge myself physically. It is difficult but certainly not impossible,” said Cax. In November, 2019, Cax reached another life goal of hers—to finish the New York City Marathon. She appreciated every moment of life, and lived it with delight.

B.Regard scars as victories over challenges in life.
C.Inspire your life by traveling and enjoying food.
D.Promote your self-improvement from others’ judgment.
【4】Which statement might Cax agree with?

B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Misfortunes cannot stop one’s excellence.
