22、Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.

“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents…It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”

The experience made Veal realize the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store(旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.

Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.

What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”

【1】According to the text, what changed Veal’s life?

A．His awareness of the value of old photos.

B．The true stories about his great-grandmother.

C．His family’s history shown in the photos.

D．His exploration of his grandfather’s old house.

【2】What do the underlined words “have gone viral” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Have been updated regularly.

B．Have received some comments.

C．Have made people think deeply.

D．Have spread quickly and widely.

【3】How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does?

A．It’s not easy.

B．It’s not enough.

C．It’s his duty.

D．It’s just a hobby.

【4】What is a suitable title for the text?

A．Returning Lost Memories

B．Old Photos for Photo Enthusiasts

C．The Power of Photos on the Internet

D．Researching the History of a Family

23、   You may have come across the picture that has a number drawn on the floor with two people standing on either side of the number. One person sees a 6, and the other sees a 9.【1】

They could either stay there arguing and holding on to their ideas, or they could move around and see the difference in their thoughts. This is perspective （视角）.

【2】The world would be a better place if people understood this. But before you start thinking of how you can start seeing things from the perspective of another person, you need to first know what a life perspective is.

Just like the example, life perspective is the way we see life, including the way we approach life and all that are in our personal experience. 【3】 What we usually have are two different perspectives on one thing. We have a person saying something is bad and should not be done, and then we have another person saying that “bad” is a strong word to use for the same thing.

【4】And everyone sees things a lot differently compared to the next person. This makes life more complex because, instead of seeing the similarities we share, we often focus on what is different, which leads to disagreements and fights.【5】It's likely that these problems no longer annoy you.

A.There are more than 7 billion people in the world.

B.In our life, few things are absolutely right or wrong.

C.It seems difficult to decide which perspective is wrong.

D.Simply make a switch and see from a different perspective.

E.A perspective on life can be shaped, changed, or explained.

F.They are both right, yet they are wrong in the eyes of the other person.

G.And they usually make us believe that we are the one who s holding the truth.

24、Lithium-ion（锂离子）batteries are the current front-runners for storing renewable energy, but their components can be expensive. Zinc（锌）batteries are easier on the wallet and the planet, but lab experiments are now pointing to ways around their primary drawback：They can’t be recharged over and over for decades.

The need for grid-scale（电网规模的）battery storage is growing as increasing amounts of solar, wind, and other renewable energy come online. This year, America is committed to making the American electricity grid carbon-free by 2035. To even out dips in supply, much of that renewable power will have to be stored for hours or days, and then fed back into the grid. For California alone, it wants to deploy（部署）more than 8800 megawatts of rechargeable batteries by 2026, and last week, the governor of California proposed $350 million in state funding to develop long-duration energy storage technologies. “That trend will not go down. It will only continue to grow,” says Mark Baggio, vice president for business development at Zinc8 Energy Solutions, a zinc battery producer.

“For power storage, Lithium-ion is the 800-pound gorilla,” says Michael Burz, CEO of EnZinc, a zinc battery startup, “but lithium, a relatively rare metal that’s only mined in a handful of countries, is too scarce and expensive to back up the world’s grids. We need an alternative to lithium. Zinc batteries may be one of the options.”

Non-rechargeable zinc batteries have been on the market for decades. More recently, some zinc rechargeable batteries have also been commercialized, but they tend to have limited energy storage capacity. Another technology, zinc flow cell batteries, is also making big steps. But it requires more complex pumps and tanks to operate.

So, researchers are now working to improve other varieties including zinc-air cells. They say although it’s urgent, there is a long way to go before they find a solution.

【1】What do we know about grid-scale battery storage?

A．It lacks financial support.

B．It has crucial breakthroughs.

C．It meets the public demands.

D．Its market is huge.

【2】What is Michael Burz’s attitude to zinc batteries for energy storage?

A．Skeptical.

B．Supportive.

C．Conservative.

D．Disappointed.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Zinc batteries?

A．Their improvements.

B．Their popularity.

C．Their functions.

D．Their disadvantages.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Carbon free：a long-term goal to achieve

B．Zinc batteries：a possible solution to power storage

C．Renewable energy：the unlimited resource of power

D．Lithium-ion batteries：the front-runners for storing energy

26、阅读下面材料，根据所给内容进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was deep into the night many years ago. The rain just came pouring down outside. An elderly man and his wife entered the lobby (大厅)of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA.

Trying to get out of the rain, the couple approached the front desk hoping to get a room to stay in for the night.

“Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.

The clerk, a friendly young man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conferences in the town. "All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. “But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o'clock at night. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.”

When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me. I'll make out just fine," the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.

As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I'll build one for you.”

The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn't easy.

Three years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the thing when he received a letter from the elderly man. It recalled that stormy night, when he offered his kind help to the elderly couple. In the envelope, there was a round-trip ticket to New York, and a letter asking the young man to pay them a visit. The young man decided to set out immediately.

注意:

1 .续写词数应为150左右；
