24、   We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.

When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.

The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it.

Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s for our own good.

Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!

Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.

A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain

B.we are responsible for the problems we meet

C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way

D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs

【2】What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?

A.She needs to remember why she started.

B.She has to know how to get on with people.

C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.the world tells us how to improve ourselves

B.people change when they find it easy to do that

C.welcoming change in life is a drive to become better

D.enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is it important to take things light?

B.Is it necessary to embrace challenges?

C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?

D.To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

25、   " Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese (鹅) ?" Cruz, 11 , and Anthony, 12，couldn't agree. There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends took a risk onto the frozen(冻结的) lake near their homes.

"First,, we threw a stone onto the ice to test it. We thought it would hold our weight. Then we stepped on it," Cruz said. Anthony went first.  He took a few steps, then... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice!

Cruz rushed to help his friend. The lake "ate" him, too.  Cruz managed to lift himself out of the freezing water and onto some ice. He then tried to work his way toward Anthony. But the ice didn't hold, and he fell in again. This time, he couldn't get out.

The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their arms and legs. Cruz had a sense that he was going to die.

Anthony's older sister had seen all this and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby heard her.  He quickly pulled over.  He caught a nearby float(浮板) , kicked off his shoes. and ran into the water, clearing his way through the ice with his free hand. "It was kind of a ' Hulk smash’”   Lavin later joked.

Lavin made his way to pull the boys back to land. They were taken to hospital immediately. The doctor said their five-minute stay in the water made their body temperature drop nearly ten degrees. Luckily, the boys got well soon. They admire their fearless neighbor just as Hulk, one of Marvel Superheroes.

A.Their arms were badly hurt. B.They couldn't move their necks,

C.Their body temperature dropped fast. D.They couldn't see anything clearly.

26、

flower verges

Plantlife, a plant protection organization, is predicting  a  boost  for  wild  flowers  because some councils (地方议会) have stopped mowing (割) wild flower verges or parks in Britain during the COVID- 19 crisis.

Over the years, Plantlife has been urging councils to cut grass less often. It also wants them to put off cutting until flowers have had chance to seed.

The charity says it has seen a change in attitudes in recent years. Now Plantlife's research suggests that mowing has been among the first activities to be cut under the COVID-19 crisis. That's partly because staff are sick or self-isolating (自我隔离), and there is a need to save money as budgets are squeezed (财政预算紧张). Mr. Dines from Plantlife said that an increase in public support for wild flower verges had already persuaded some councils to limit cutting, which was a fairly welcome change.

In Stockton-on-Tees Borough, grass cutting will be limited to the least levels with the exception of areas where it is needed to ensure public safety. For example, to maintain lines of sight at road junctions (路口). In Newcastle, grass cutting will stop for the time being. In Wigan, the maintenance of non-essential grass cutting will also be stopped for the foreseeable future. Its council has acted quickly to rearrange staff to frontline services, such as trash bin collections.

Meanwhile, the reduction of traffic during the COVID-19 crisis will produce another benefit for wild flowers. Typically, roadside verges are filled with nitrogen emissions (含氮排放气体). This fertilizes (使肥沃) the tougher species which can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete more delicate wild flowers. Mr. Dines said: "There has been a great change in the quality of air-we can see so much more clearly into the distance. The lack of pollutants is going to help wildflowers on verges."

【1】Planlife may probably agrees that__________.

A.councils should mow verges or parks more often

B.councils should put off cutting until flowers seed

C.councils should call on the public to support mowing

D.councils should cut its budget to save money in the crisis

【2】The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to__________.

A.give examples of where the grass cutting will not be allowed

B.present how councils have acted to deal with COVID-19 crisis

C.explain the reasons why some councils stop grass cutting for now

D.show the changes in grassing cutting in Britain due to COVID-19 crisis

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Grass cutting will be completely stopped in Stockton-on-Tees Borough.

B.Mowing has been cut under COVID-19 crisis partly due to a lack of staff.

C.Staff in Wigan were rearranged from trash bin collections to grass cutting.

D.Wild flowers can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete tougher species.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A.Covid-19 crisis could help wildflower grow.

B.The reduction of traffic could help wildflowers.

C.Cutting grass less often could help wildflowers.

D.A change in public attitude could help wildflowers.

28、   Mom and Dad live in Calverton. On June 28, my parents celebrated 70 years of marriage.

They have been through years of hard work and good times, a【1】 supporting each other.

As a child, I remember my parents working side by side for spring, fall, winter, and summer cleaning or working in the yard, or painting and wallpapering.

My parents bought a h【2】 in Elmont. They never believed they'd be able to own their own home, and to them, it was their castle. They worked hard to decorate it and kept i【3】 looking beautiful. They taught us to work hard and to appreciate everything we had.

Mom likes everything—sightseeing, clubs, shopping, anything. Dad, even today, can't u【4】 why she always wants to go out!

Mom is really active with the Red Hatters women's group and her gardening club. Dad spoils (宠坏) her by taking care of the house.

The key to their s【5】 marriage is that they respect each other.

My brother, who is 67, and I (now 69), have always known we are lucky to have such great parents. They have shown us what love is, what hard work is, and what respect is all about.

My daughter and I try to see them almost every weekend w【6】 we play cards together and catch upon the week's news.

My parents are the glue that holds our whole family t【7】 , making holidays and ordinary days special to us all.
