21、My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining. But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said, “She is four minutes slow —— regulator wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him —— tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.

My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.

At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no conception what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.

So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked around I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance —— a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.

“She makes too much steam and …” he said.

I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.

My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths, and governors, and school-principals; but nobody could ever tell him.

【1】What did the author say about the jeweler?

A．He made a mistake.

B．He had a quick mind.

C．He had a hearing problem.

D．He was a quiet repairman.

【2】After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, how was the author’s watch?

A．It kept perfect time.

B．It gained faster and faster.

C．It was not a little slow.

D．It ran awhile and stopped awhile.

【3】Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?

A．He was a liar.

B．He was talking nonsense.

C．He treated the watch cruelly.

D．He was an old enemy of the author.

【4】What did the author learn from his experience?

A．Never get a watch repaired.

B．He should listen to his uncle.

C．Repair work was a complicated job.

D．Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.

22、   When Jack Andraka was 15 years old, he created a new diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer. Jack's test is 28 times faster, 26,000 times less expensive and over 100 times more sensitive than the current diagnostic tests. His test earned him first prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which is like the Olympics of science fairs.

It was after a close family friend died of pancreatic cancer that Jack Andraka became interested in finding a better early-detection diagnostic test. Jack said the solution came to him during his high school biology class. He was secretly reading an article about nanotubes while the teacher was talking about antibodies. Jack said the two ideas came together in his head, and he thought he could combine what the teacher was saying with what he knew about nanotubes to create an early detection test for pancreatic cancer.

Jack Andraka used what he found through Google searches and free online science journals to develop a plan and a budget. Jack contacted about 200 people including researchers at Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health with a proposal to work in their labs. He got 199 rejections before he finally got an acceptance from Dr. Anirban Maitra, Professor of Oncology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Jack worked after school every day, on weekends and over holidays at Maitra's lab until he developed his test.

So, think about Jack Andraka the next time you hear that something can't be done. Or, if you receive numerous rejections (close to 200 in Jack Andraka's case) or you're simply hesitating to give one of your ideas a shot. Also, keep in mind that you don't necessarily need a giant team, billions of dollars in resources or even more than 15 years of life experience to do something amazing.

【1】Why did Jack decide to work on the diagnostic test?

A．The existing test was not widely used.

B．He wanted to win a prize in a science fair.

C．A family friend died of pancreatic cancer.

D．He got inspired in his high school biology class.

【2】How did Jack work out the test?

A．By cooperating with Google.

B．By doing experiments in the lab.

C．By conducting researches online.

D．By contacting about 200 people.

【3】In which section of a newspaper can this article appear?

A．Life Style & Trends

B．Hospitals & ICUs

C．Inspirational Stories

D．Interesting Discoveries

23、   Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.

Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.

A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.

The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.

The research on the monarch’s behavior has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.

【1】Which is not the purpose of animals’ migration according to the text?

A.To search for food. B.To look for a partner.

C.To breed young babies. D.To stay away from cold weather.

【2】What mainly caused the decrease in the number of the monarch butterflies?

A.Weather changes. B.Human activities.

C.Trees being cut down. D.The long migration every year.

【3】What can we know from the text?

A.All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.

B.The monarch has the ability to identify the time of day.

C.The population of the monarch is decreasing rapidly every year.

D.No one knows how the monarch butterflies make their way to their destinations.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply about the research?

A.It is quite encouraging. B.it is fairly complex.

C.It is very unacceptable. D.It is rather useless.

24、Though against his will, this 12-year-old boy felt compelled to leave his puppy to an animal shelter in Mexico. Upsetting, but sometimes the best decision is to let go of your dog for a better life.

The factors that compel owners to give up their pets vary, but the most common ones relate to issues regarding obedience and the owner's capacity. People have no alternative but to give up their dogs when they move into a new neighborhood and pets are not allowed. Another reason is when families cannot afford to cover medical bills for the pet. In the end, they have to give one up to ease their financial burdens.

Nevertheless, giving up our pets is one of the most difficult decisions we have to make, just like what this boy from Mexico did.

On February 13, a 12-year-old boy, Andres, left a pit bull puppy outside the Refugio

Xollin in Michoacan, Mexico. Along with the dog came a stuffed animal and a touching letter penned by his young owner, explaining why he could no longer care for the dog. “My name is Andres and I am 12 years old," the note reads, “My mom and I decide to leave my dog in your hands, hiding it from my dad because he is thinking about selling him." "He mistreats and kicks him. One day he kicked him so hard that he hurt his tail. I hope you can help and take care of him. I leave him a stuffed animal so he won't forget me.

The rescue group shared the story on their Facebook page, along with adorable pictures of the pup. The post quickly gained massive attention online. They have received over 300 applications to adopt the pit bull puppy, Rene, from all over Mexico.

The group took Rene to the pet clinic and had him dewormed. He is on his way to recovery and ready for adoption. However, it seems like Rescue Xollin hasn't found the perfect family for him yet, as he is still under their care. Hopefully, Rene gets adopted out soon and Andres is fine.

【1】What does the underlined word "compel" mean in the second paragraph?

A．Determine.

B．Permit.

C．Force.

D．Persuade.

【2】What led to Andres giving up Rene?

A．The fact that the new neighborhood doesn’t allow pets.

B．The reason that his family can’t afford the medical treatment.

C．The concern that his mother mistreats and kicks Rene.

D．The wish that Rene will experience a better life.

【3】What do we know about Rene?

A．He will be taken care of by the stuffed animal left by the boy.

B．He is well treated in the Refugio Xollin in Michoacan, Mexico.

C．More than 300 people would like to adopt him throughout the world.

D．Rescue Xollin hasn't found time to select a perfect family for him.

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Cities across China have been rolling out policies to encourage the return of street vendors (摊贩), where stall operators and mobile vendors sell food and small commodities on streets and other public spaces.

At a press conference during China s recently concluded “two sessions,” Chinese Premier Li Keqiang praised the city of Chengdu in west China for creating 100,000 jobs by setting up 36,000 mobile stalls, signaling an encouragement of reviving street vendoring.

Meanwhile, China’s tech giants are offering help. Alibaba’swholesalemarketplace1688.com issued a plan in late May to connect street sellers directly with factories, while offering stall operators with a total of 70 billion yuan of interest-free loans.

E-commerce major JD.com has promised to secure quality merchandise worth over 50 billion yuan and is offering each stall keeper up to 100,000 yuan worth of interest-free loans.
