21、I was born in Merthyr Tydfil, a small town in Wales and an excellent place in which to grow up. It was probably the first town of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, where people had poured in to work in the new steel mills (工厂) and coal mines. But when I was small, all the great factories were closed and the town was one of the poorest in Europe, although that didn’t seem to be very important to me then. The ruins of the great mills were as romantic and imposing (壮观的) as those of any castle, the open mountains were within reach of any boy who could walk for fifteen minutes.

The first school I went to was a red-brick building on the edge of town, in the district of Georgetown. We had a splendid teacher and he taught us, about sixty small boys between the ages of seven and eleven, for the four years I was in the school. He was not only fond of words himself, but he could use them to tell jokes, to sing aloud, to explain things so vividly to us that we could see, almost, what he described. And he educated our senses, too, he made us look at everything so firmly, to know the textures (质地) of things with our skins, to hear the particular noises that exist in the world all around us. So real were our experiences that we began to look for the words necessary to recreate those experiences. That is how I began to write poetry.

I can't say that poetry was my greatest enthusiasm at that time. I loved boxing most of all. I knew all the great boxers of our town. When I was about ten years old I saw the fight I wrote about in The Ballad of Billy Rose. And years later, in Bristol, I saw the same man, old now, and very frail (体弱的). His name, however, was really Tommy Rose, and in the first version of my poem I called him that.

When I finished it, I read it aloud, and I knew that something was wrong. I was forced to change it to Billy, so that the balance was right, so that there was a satisfying agreement between the word "Ballad" and the word "Billy". Much the same thing happened when I wrote about his last great fight. I wanted my readers to hear for themselves the sounds of the fight with my words.

23、In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view.

New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker.

Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.

Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments.

Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.

“The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.”

【1】What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean?

A．separated.

B．disabled.

C．demanded.

D．protected.

【2】What does the loss of visible stars lead to?

A．Poorer human health.

B．Fewer wildlife species.

C．More delicate biological systems.

D．Less nightly culture elements of the sky.

【3】What does the author stress in paragraph 5?

A．Crowd sourced data are invaluable

B．Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect.

C．Satellites play a vital role.

D．White LEDs are widely used.

【4】What can be inferred from Walker’s words?

A．Their consistent efforts pay off.

B．The dataset needs to be updated.

C．The sky glow has been over-emphasized.

D．More participants are expected to join in.

24、Beaches are not only great for lying on and doing water sports, and in fact one of the best ways of enjoying them is a classic beach walk. Here at iWantSun. Co. Uk, we’ve been searching the globe to find you the world’s best and most glorious beach walks, and here’s our pick of the top.

The Footpath of the Gods, Amalfi Coast, Italy

The name says it all really and you truly do feel up there to walking along this wonderful mountain coastal path, which offers some of the most striking views on the planet. The path begins at town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast. The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths, past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.

Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk, Australia

Sydney’s coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world. Here you have national parks, historic sites, steep cliffs, sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place. Sydney’s Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete. However, if you’re not up to doing the full walk, then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city. Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top scenery.

Great Ocean Walk, Australia

The Great Ocean Walk stretches 104 km along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the resort town Apollo Bay to the magnificent Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area’s famous stone landmarks which stand out like giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national parks, famous surfing spots and deserted beaches, to wild coastlines, cascading waterfalls, lush forests, historic lighthouses and ghostly shipwrecks. Day walks and shorter three-hour walks such as the Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.

So next time when you’re looking for a beach holiday don’t just think about the resorts and the sand, but consider a more active sun holiday, discovering some of the best beaches in the world.

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。

Ryan’s parents passed away when he was only eight. Since then, his grandma raised him alone and tried her best to provide him with everything he needed.

When Ryan was 15, his grandma retired. In order to save enough money for Ryan’s college education, she took on a part-time job and worked as a cleaning lady at a nearby park. However, Ryan disliked his grandma’s part-time job, because he was afraid that his classmates would see her.

One day, Ryan was chosen to act the lead role in a school play that was scheduled for next month. Most of the students acting in the play invited their families to the performance, but Ryan was too ashamed to invite his grandma. Unfortunately, his grandma saw the posters of the play on the walls of the school. One night when they were having dinner, his grandma mentioned that she would love to see him perform.

“You won’t be permitted to see the performance, Grandma,” he lied. “No family member was invited.”

His grandma was shocked and tried very gently to know why Ryan lied to her.

“It’s because I don’t want my friends to find out you’re a cleaning lady!” Ryan broke down finally.

Little did Ryan know that his grandma kept working just because of him. If she had the choice, she would rather stay at home and enjoy her retirement. However, she knew that she had to make extra money so that she could give Ryan a comfortable life and send him to college.

Although his grandma was sad about Ryan’s behavior, she continued working. However, one Sunday morning, her back hurt so much that she could not get up and had to ask Ryan to look for the painkillers that she had been taking in secret. Soon, Ryan found the pills but they did not work.

注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Ryan was really frightened and rushed his grandma to the hospital.
