21、Spend part of a day exploring Brooklyn. Get there by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the most symbolic spans in North America. The 271-feet-tall neo-gothic arches (新哥特式拱门) are certainly the bridge’s most distinguishing characteristic, but walking along the elevated pedestrian walkway is a must for any visitor.

Once off the bridge, walk through leafy, historic Brooklyn Heights, especially the wide sidewalk above the river that offers beautiful views of the downtown Manhattan skyline. And then, point yourself toward Hometown Bar-B-Que (454 Van Brunt St; 001 347 294 4644) in Red Hook, where local barbecue master Billy Durney, who learned the tricks of the trade in Texas, grills the best barbecued meat this side of the Mason-Dixon line. Order the ultra-tender brisket (牛胸肉) .

If you prefer to stay outdoors, go right next door to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (990 Washington Ave. , Brooklyn) where thousands of types of plants will take you miles away from the noise of the Big Apple. Seek out the particularly peaceful Japanese Hill and Pond Garden.

For some post-sunset fun, head back to Manhattan. Stay for a while in Washington Square Park where street performers and students from nearby New York University give the place an attractive and fun atmosphere. On warmer days, children have fun in the fountain and jazz musicians play music. If the weather is not agreeable, pop into Blue Note (131 W. 3rd St. ; 001 212 8592) where, since1981, jazz and soul greats like Sarah Vaughn and Ray Charles, among many others, have taken the stage.

23、High school is difficult for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be good for you in the short term and long term.

Joining a club is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to the school. Joining a club forces you to communicate with people who have similar interests as you. Even if you are the shyest and quietest person, you are sure to develop a relationship with at least one person in the club that you decide to join. Speaking from personal experience, I have met some of my best friends from my after-school activities and had many new doors open to me.

Another really nice thing about joining a club is that doing activities looks good on college applications (申请). Being known as outgoing is a highly valued trait (特质); it shows that you are willing to put yourself out there, be determined (意志坚定的), and best of all try new things. Another nice thing is that (depending on the activity) it could help you develop skills that you could use during a college interview.

Productivity is something that teens seem to continuously have a problem with. Most teens go to school and then come home and spend the rest of the day in front of the television or phone, but activities prohibit (阻止) this. Teens are also very easy to influence and if they fall into the wrong group of people they could fall into consequences such as problems with the law. Clubs are a great place to spend time and be with good people who you can fall back on if you need them.

Maybe the most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefit (益处) it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping an eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your life.

【1】What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．A person who is popular.

B．A person who is not smart.

C．A person who is confident.

D．A person who is not accepted.

【2】What do colleges think highly of according to the text?

A．The number of clubs you have joined.

B．The strong relationships you have built.

C．The bright personality you have developed.

D．The skills you have learned while forming a club.

【3】What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4?

A．Increasing knowledge.

B．Learning teamworking skills.

C．Improving your fitness level.

D．Making good use of your time.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．What club should you join?

B．How to join a club you like?

C．Why should you join a club?

D．Should you join a second club?

24、   How’s this for a coincidence (巧合)? Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them together, we want to say that they belong together. It’s not just because they are both great men, and not because they happened to live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world.

They are both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the reality when they were born. They seem and sound modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays—it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man? It’s an apples and oranges-or Superman vs. Santa-comparison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln’s favor.

As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (抢先) by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln, however, is unique. True, his election as the president did cause the recession (经济衰退) and the war, but that war seemed certain to happen—not a question of if but when. Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered: Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial (种族的) equality unsolved for another century.

Surely we should not deny Darwins’ accomplishment. But their same birthdays gave us great opportunity to observe these men of their time.

【1】Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together?

A.They were born on the same day. B.They lived in the same period of time.

C.They started revolutions changing the world. D.They were both great men in history.

【2】What does the author mean by “an apples and oranges-or Superman vs. Santa-comparison”?

A.It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding.

B.The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious.

C.It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa.

D.There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Lincoln’s contributions to the world?

A.Narrow. B.Objective. C.Challenging. D.Groundbreaking.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Lincoln’s success in election caused Reconstruction.

B.Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem.

C.Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln.

D.Darwin,s theory is similar to Lincoln’s belief.

25、Music is part of every culture on Earth, which can be _________, sad, romantic, sleepy, healing—all kinds of things. But what is it? Some people call it an art that sounds _________time. Our ears receive it as loud or _________, high or low, rapid and short, or slow and _________. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become _________.

Music, like _________, is a human form of communication. As with language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “_________” to us in its own way.

No one knows for sure when music _________. Perhaps while working, people sang to make it go faster. People who were _________ movements—picking crops or rowing boats, for example—could sing in time __________ for the work. Navajo Indians, for example, had corn-grinding songs.

Over time, people __________ musical instruments. They might have started by clapping their hands and stamping their __________. Sticks and objects that rattled (碰响) could have __________ the human body as early __________. Both instruments and music became more complex (复杂) with time.

Today, music in many cultures __________ art music and music of the people. Art music, which we call classical music, is more __________ than the music of the people—__________ music and popular music. Art music is __________ harder to write and perform. Musicians who perform it need a lot of __________. Popular and folk styles typically are easier to __________, perform, and understand.

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 five children in Larrane Leech’s day care group were outdoors early, painting landscapes under the dizzy sun. By 10 a. m., it was time to find shade, so Larrane decided they would walk down to the river.

“We’re going to pick berries now, ” she announced. A nature lover, Larrane insisted they spend as much time as possible outdoors.

Larrane handed each child an empty jar and called for Pal, her one-year-old German shepherd (德国牧羊犬). The group made its way over the dusty road and then onto a dirt path through the trees. They stopped at the first berry bush and got busy picking berries, cheering and talking excitedly.

A young cougar (美洲狮)cocked an ear toward the birdlike chatter and sniffed the air. Stepping over the thick carpet of pine needles, the cougar moved quietly toward the children.

Larrane sensed the children suddenly go quiet. She looked up to see the back end of a cougar, the size of Pal, standing over one child, Mikey. The sight of the cougar near her kids immediately froze Larrane. Larrane couldn’t tell whether Mikey had been bitten. Her mind racing wildly, she darted toward the cougar. Desperately intending to grab its tail, she shifted aim at the last minute and seized the cougar by the neck. She shook it from side to side. Instantly, the cougar wheeled toward Larrane. Growling and hissing, it stretched up high and brought its paws down upon the head of the woman. Although still in its youth, it had all the teeth and muscle a cougar needs to pull down a victim three times its size. This animal was capable of killing her.

注意:1 .续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Now aware of the danger, the other four children screamed and ran behind Larrane.
