22、Twenty-three states require high schoolers to take the subject, and more could join them in an effort to boost the next generation’s financial literacy (理财素养). The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to tick higher in 2021, and another state—Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, a law has been passed to require students to take a course in personal finance before graduating.

“Financial concerns have been heightened by the Covid-19 pandemic (大流行病), and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with continual worries about burdensome student debt levels and shaky retirement security, have created a stronger case for making personal money skills a priority for high schoolers, who are soon to make decisions about college loans or finding a job,” an advocate for financial literacy said.

Financial literacy—a knowledge of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment—is generally low among American young adults, according to a recent report from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America Institute. Two-thirds of Generation Z, members born between 1997 and 2012, for example, couldn’t correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.

“The pandemic has shown a critical need for the average American to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance. “State-level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements,” Mr. Ranzetta said, “and dozens of proposals have been presented to the law-making bodies in the government. It’s uncertain how many will become law, but a requirement in a large state like Florida is likely to propel other states’ efforts.” He also said,“There will be a FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) effect.”

【1】What makes financial literacy necessary for high schoolers?

A．The risk of retiring in debt.

B．The need to hunt for satisfying jobs.

C．The financial pressure of a college education.

D．The financial worries worsened by the pandemic.

【2】The author mentions Generation Z in paragraph 3 as an example ______.

A．to encourage American people to save money

B．to emphasize the importance of financial support

C．to persuade the younger generation out of investing

D．to show the lack of financial literacy among young adults

【3】Which can best replace the word “propel” in the last paragraph?

A．Combine.

B．Promote.

C．Waste.

D．Require.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The pandemic has had a bad effect on the economy in the USA.

B．The government should pass laws to fight against the rising inflation.

C．Learning about personal money matters has been a burden for students.

D．Personal finance are being brought to the classroom for the next generation.

23、Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her life fighting for women to be treated equally. In doing so, she became an inspiring role model for women and girls around the world.

Her passion for women’s rights began when she was young. She started off her adult life having trouble finding a job. Even though she was smart, determined, and capable of doing the job, she was passed over primarily because she was a woman. She felt like she was being treated unfairly, or discriminated against, only because she was a woman. She wanted to do something about it. But at the time there were no laws in the United States to protect her.

She decided to devote her career to being a lawyer and fighting for equal rights of women. Then, early in her legal career, when she was 29 years old, Ms. Ginsburg took a trip to Sweden to perform legal research. What she saw really focused her on fighting for women in the workplace. Seeing the progress women had made in Sweden convinced her even more that America was behind and wrong in its treatment of women.

Back in the USA, laws advocating for women’s rights were missing. She decided that she would help invent laws, write them, and defend them. Ginsburg would also become a professor to help other women to become lawyers so that they could do the same thing. And then, in 1993, after years’ practicing and teaching laws, she became only the 2nd female justice of the Supreme Court.

At only 5'1" tall and as a generally quiet person, Ms. Ginsburg’s power came from her focus, her determination, and her integrity(诚实正直). She went on to become an inspiring role model for girls and women around the world and one of the most respected justices in history. She changed the lives of many women and girls in the United States and beyond.

【1】Why did Ruth fail to get a job?

A．She was not an adult.

B．Women can not work by law.

C．She did something illegal.

D．She was treated unfairly.

【2】What did Ruth do to fight for equal rights of women?

A．She performed legal research in Sweden.

B．She escaped from her motherland.

C．She consulted lawyers of Sweden.

D．She fought with the USA government.

【3】When did Ruth become a female justice of the Supreme Court?

A．In 1987.

B．In 1993.

C．In 1996.

D．In 1997.

【4】Which one can be used to describe Ruth?

A．Optimistic.

B．Strict.

D．Cautious.

24、It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking very carefully to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I looked at him secretly, I saw the most amazing site.

Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.

I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was crying with pride.

Every few minutes, I looked to my five-year-old to make sure she hadn’t been __________ out to sea, then back to Drew to make sure there was no __________ between her and the stranger.

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。

The homemade book bag was sprawled (随意放在) across my bed. It appeared to have taken over the entire room. I closed my eyes for a second, trying to imagine the large shoulder bag gone. I opened my eyes again. It was still there. I knew that my mom had spent all day happily sewing. Worse still, I realized that the fabric (布料) was actually left over from a toy horse that my mom made for me when I was a baby. My mother had even quilted (缝制) little running horses along each side and wrote my name on one side to make certain that no one would be confused as to who owned this furry monster.

“Do you like it? If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it,” Mom said.

“Oh no, Mom, I love it,” I lied, picking the bag up and rubbing (摩挲) the soft fabric against my face. The last thing I wanted to do was to hurt her feelings.

The next day I was to start seventh grade at a new school. I was nervous and excited. That first day at school I heard the whispers. “Have you seen the new girl? Did you see that big furry bag?” Then there were giggles.

Because I started school in the middle of the year, all of the lockers had been assigned to other kids. There was no storage available for me, so I was forced to haul all my stuff around in the oversized fuzzy bag. Wild stories flew back and forth about what I kept in the bag that never left my side. Drugs? some kids wondered. Clothes? Is she homeless?

There was nothing interesting in that bag, just my coat during cold weather, school books, papers and pens. Eventually, most students pretty much ignored me, but some of the kids teased me about the fuzzy horse bag. People grabbed at it, pretended to pat it like a dog and tried to toss their trash into it. My teachers didn’t seem to notice, probably because I didn’t ever complain or ask for help.

As the year progressed, I started to hate that bag. I blamed all my problems on it. I felt helpless and alone, miserable, and homesick for California and my old friends.

One day toward the end of the school year, my math teacher assigned each student a partner to work with on word problems. I was told to work with Debbie, a popular redheaded girl who was in several of my classes.

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，每段开头语已为你写好。

She smiled and waved me over toward her desk, so I grabbed my bag and quietly moved toward her.

Then Debbie started to laugh-not at me, but at the situation.
