21、Few writers have had such an impact on the thinking of the modem world as British writer George Orwell(1903—1950)．Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topics，for example，poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War(1936—1939)．

But he is most famous for his works of fiction，Animal Farm(1945)and，especially，Nineteen Eighty-Four(1949)．These last books became especially influential in the West in the 1950s during the early Cold War years．

In Nineteen Eighty-Four，Orwell imagined a Britain of the future，modeled on the Soviet union(苏联)．His frightening tale of Winston Smith，a regular man who comes into conflict with the government，was close to the fears of many people of the time．Ideas from the novel soon entered everyday culture，and are still in use today．“Big Brother”，for example，is a phrase from the book that refers to how authority is always looking over one’s shoulder. Other phrases used in the novel，1ike“War is Peace”and “Freedom is slavery”are also still used now．Indeed，many people see Orwell’s book as a warning about what might happen if those in power become corrupted．

Even today，Orwell remains an influential voice. Often，writers achieve great fame and popularity，but they don’t affect how people live their everyday lives．UNESCO’S Memory of the World Programme recently decided to include a collection of Orwell’s writings on its register．

The Memory of the World register is similar to UNESCO’s world heritage site program，which protects places and buildings natural features in the world．According to its website，the idea behind the body is“that the world’s documentary evidence belongs to all”and should be “accessible forever to all”．

University College London，which proposed the idea to UNESCO，said in its application that Orwell’s work“had a great influence on human thought in all parts of the world，an influence that remain powerful today”．

【1】What do we know about Orwell?

A. He only wrote about imaginary worlds．

B. He liked to follow the style of other writers．

C. His works were based on his own experience．

D. His books were well-received during the Cold War．

【2】Orwell wrote the novel Nineteen eight-Four to_______．

A. warn people of the dangers of corruption

B. present various conflicts with the government

C. expose the cruelty of the war in the 20th century

D. describe the serious effects of poverty in England

【3】The passage mentioned some phrases from Orwell’s books mainly to__________．

A. stress his ideas are still popular today

B. share some of his ideas with leaders

C. show how he used language in a creative way

D. explain how he described the dark side of society

【4】Why would the Memory of the Word register include Orwell’s writings?

A. They are a huge literary success．

B. They introduced a new way of writing．

C. They shaped political systems in Western countries．

D. They continue to have a great effect on human thought.

22、   I saw the most beautiful thing ever one morning. It was early with a slight frost on the ground, and I was walking on grass down to the farm—my mind on the daily routines.

Suddenly a shining flash erupted straight from the ground about 15 feet in front of me, and shot up into the sky. It was so brilliant, clear and clean. I thought the only thing that could make such a flash must be a diamond—maybe someone had lost some kind of jewelry. Or some kind of lightning strikes—so bright. I waited to see if it repeated but it didn’t.

I walked slowly towards it. There was nothing to see. I stared down at the grass, searching for gold or some kind of metal. Nothing. So I dropped down really close and there it was! A tiny spider’s web, delicately hanging between grass, flashing in a number of colors. The rising sun had caught the exact angle of the dewdrops (露珠), and that light had exploded up into the sky.

It was unbelievable, such a powerful flash from something so small and fragile, and I would have destroyed it beneath my feet. It was as if the unseen world was giving me a heads-up. Hello! Look what’s around you. I’ve never forgotten that moment.

So take some time to notice the wonder of nature that most of us never even see. So much beauty all around us if we would only take the time. Look at the tiny flowers that cover playing fields—we walk all over them without a second glance. The colors of practically any flower on the earth are breathtaking and all natural—if we would only notice. Take the time and discover from nature one secret beautiful thing that you can keep in your heart. Take a picture. It’s what life really consists of. And it’s free.

【1】What actually caused the flash?

A.A diamond. B.The lightning.

C.A piece of metal. D.A spider’s web.

【2】Why did the writer feel the discovery unforgettable?

A.The flash is very splendid. B.The spider’s web is mysterious.

C.The shining object was priceless. D.Something small touches her soul.

【3】What does the writer try to convey in the last paragraph?

A.Appreciate the beauty of nature. B.Be considerate towards the weak.

C.Find time to play outdoors. D.Keep a secret deep in heart.

23、It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown (封锁) starting on January 23. My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19.

The virus, COVID-19, is somehow fearsome because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. And if the older people were infected, the situation could be worse, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it.

On the second day, my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw my mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own.

But two weeks later, I got a fever and had to go into quarantine (隔离) to be observed for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be not COVID-19.

Everything there was busy, and there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way.

When the quarantine was over, every patient thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer patients received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.”

【1】When did the author’s parents leave her for the hospital?

A．January 23.

B．January 30.

C．February 2.

D．January 31.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “make it” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Succeed.

B．Join in.

C．Live through.

D．Arrive.

【3】What can we learn according to the passage?

A．Not all the patients understood the doctors and nurses.

B．Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19.

C．The patients were too tired.

D．The virus infects the older more easily.

【4】What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage?

A．Outgoing.

B．Respectable.

C．Impatient.

D．Calm.

24、As 17-year-old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St. Parkersburg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached an intersection, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.

As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.

But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the wreck and found Simmons stuck in the back seat, motionless. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR.”

Kneeling on the lawn, Norwood started pumping Simmons’s chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th compression (按压）, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!

Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. And when she heard how her best friend had saved her life, she said, “I wasn’t shocked. She will always help any way she can.”

【1】What happened when Norwood and her friends drove through St. Parkersburg last February?

25、   Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a _____ part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we ______ this same right to our children. When I see a child ______ from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His ______ of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He ______ answered questions — he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his ______. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all ______ her very much.

One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had ______ the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I _____ the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in ______. He’d missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair.  Suddenly her face _____. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently ______ the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms. “I’ve got something to ______ you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.  “See these ______, Donnie,” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are ______? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you ______ learn to do, too.” She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on ______ desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, ______ teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

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。

My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking, she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings and me only once. Instead, she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.

In the early 70’s, my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner?” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few matters and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”

No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding, her mother tried to stop Susies tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonalds.” Susie stopped yelling and smiling. She grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.

That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations. and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone?”

She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”
