21、I can remember when my daughter Maggie, who is now six, used to crawl into my lap and say, “Daddy, read me a story.” Last year she announced, “Daddy, I’m going to read you a story.”

Maggie was a television child. When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping, the TV set was right there, and it soon commanded her attention.

A few years ago, we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read, but that we’d forget how to read ourselves. But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV, but more reading than ever before in history.

Clearly, reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things. When I was six, a wail went up about menaces (威胁) to reading at home: motor cars and cinema. When Maggie came along, there was television. The motorcar, the radio, the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.

Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.

At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy. For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.

And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.”

【1】Why do the young generation like Maggie have more access to reading?

A．They face less working pressure.

B．There is more time available for reading.

C．Their parents encourage them more often.

D．They have a stronger desire for knowledge.

【2】What makes the author envious of Maggie?

A．Her exposure to classic reading.

B．Her productive works in writing.

C．Her wild imagination in daily life.

D．Her spiritual reflection on the books.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 imply?

A．Maggie has rich experiences.

B．Maggie has a good plan for reading.

C．Maggie will benefit a lot from reading.

D．Maggie is on the road to becoming a genius.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Reading makes Maggie a fortunate girl.

B．More girls like Maggie enjoy telling stories.

C．Maggie’s daughter brings her the biggest thrill.

D．It is a blessing that reading can be passed down.

22、Why do Hiccups Happen?

Most of us have been hic, hic, hiccupping since before we were born. Hiccups are the loud noises our throats make without us wanting them to.【1】But why do we hiccup, and how can we stop them?

According to WebMD, hiccups start in our diaphragm—which is the muscle between our lungs and stomach that helps us to breathe. When we breathe in, our diaphragm pulls down to let air into our lungs.【2】But if something irritates our diaphragm, it can cause it to spasm(痉挛). The spasm makes us inhale air suddenly. When this air hits our voice box, our vocal cords immediately shut, creating a “hic” sound.

【3】Swallowing air while sucking on candy—or drinking fizzy drinks like Coca-Cola, or too much alcohol—can also cause us to hiccup. Emotions—like being nervous, excited, or even stressed—cause hiccups too.

But how can we get rid of them?【4】The official recommendations from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) say that holding your breath for a short time is a good idea. Breathing into a paper bag is another option the NHS gives, as well as pulling your knees up to your chest and leaning forward, or very slowly drinking ice-cold water.【5】However, if your hiccups still haven't gone away after two days, WebMD says you’ll need to contact a doctor.

A．More haste, less speed.

B．It then relaxes when we breathe out again.

C．They can be funny or embarrassing depending on where we are.

D．Some of the reasons we hiccup include eating too quickly or too much.

E．They get in the way of breathing, eating, or sleeping comfortably.

F．Some people believe holding your breath and slowly counting to 10 can work.

G．Stranger suggestions from the NHS include biting on a lemon or tasting vinegar.

23、（题文）A build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇×

5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.

To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.

Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.

The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.

What does the underlined phrase ＂the water catcher＂ in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The tube.   B. The still.

C. The hole.   D. The cup.

24、Some say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they decorate their homes. We often find pleasure in the things we stick in our houses, or paintings to liven up walls. And when we head to others’ houses, we often see things we appreciate but wouldn’t have in our own homes.【1】The point is, the way we decorate our homes is very personal. And while many of us have plenty of stuff, there are always people who go a bit further.【2】

Minimalism was an art movement that started in the 1950s.【3】Some people liked that art style and used it as a way of living. Ideas of vast open spaces with an organized and functional structure may spring to mind. They are usually decorated in simple light colors, or just black and white. For some, especially maximalists, it may seem boring or depressing.

【4】It embraces the ideals of “more is more”. While minimalism centers around the principle of clearing up the unnecessary stuff, it’s easy to imagine that a maximalist home is overflowing with items — but that’s not the basic idea. It’s more about filling the space — making the most of the area. Complicated structures and bold colors combined with mixed patterns is what you will see in a home like this. For a minimalist who is used to “simple” designs, it could be overwhelming.【5】

The way you decorate your home is up to you! But, if you opt for maximalism, you may need to prepare for a bit more dusting.

A．Maybe they’re not quite to our taste.

B．Maximalism is the opposite of minimalism.

C．Its basic principles are derived from a concept of “less is more”.

D．Minimalism and maximalism, which one may appeal to you more?

E．But for those who embrace it, those things give a space personality.

F．However, living in this way is seen by a minimalist as more practical.

G．Addiction to many objects can hold back our freedom and innovation.

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。

Eight-year-old Amanda heard Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Hyman, who was very sick and learnt that only a very costly surgery could save him. Being in heavy debt, Dad said to Mom in desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

Amanda went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar in the closet. She poured all the change out and counted it carefully. Three times. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy (药店).

On arriving the pharmacy, she poured her jar on the counter. The pharmacist got annoyed as she was talking to her brother, Dr. Bethune, a neurosurgery (神经外科) surgeon, who happened to be on a visit. Asked what she wanted, Amanda answered back, “My brother’s really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle.” She explained her brother had something bad growing inside his head and needed an operation, and her Dad said only a miracle could save him. The pharmacist shook her head and said softly, “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you.”

Hearing this, Amanda couldn’t help wailing, tears rolling down like a broken string of beads. Witnessing this, Dr. Bethune leaned down and asked her, “How much do you have?” “One dollar and eleven cents.” Amanda responded proudly. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled Dr. Bethune, “A dollar and eleven cents-the exact price of a miracle for your little brother.” Overjoyed, Amanda twirled and jumped.

注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Paragraph1: Dr. Bethune held her hand and said kindly, “Take me to see your brother.”
