21、Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a   thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him,   shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.

【1】The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that ________.

A．a terrible electrical accident happened to him

B．nobody in the whole world cared about him

C．he was struck by the lightning once more

22、My boss recently asked me, "Do you know why I hired you? Because you didn't sell yourself. You didn't tell me, 'Look how experienced I am.' You emailed me and said, 'I researched your website and saw how many amazing vets (兽医) you have and I want to learn from them,' and that's why I hired you. You showed vulnerability."

So what is vulnerability? For me, vulnerability means putting your fear of embarrassment aside and allowing personal growth. I believe vulnerability is a pathway to success. Vulnerability has traditionally been viewed as a weakness in the workplace. The very thought of exposing your weaknesses is terrifying. However, we can change the views surrounding it. I'm talking about the vulnerability that strengthens courage and leads to more success as a vet.

After graduation, I started working in a clinic where I thought I would have support. However, I didn't have the help I required. I quickly became exhausted. Within 18 months, I didn't want to be a vet anymore.

During this period, I realized without the support I wanted I was potentially making mistakes I wasn't even aware of. Was I treating patients effectively? I wouldn't know, because I had no one to ask for help.

I decided to be vulnerable. I accepted that I was unhappy, living with poor mental health and lacking important knowledge. I wanted to find somewhere I'd be able to continue building my knowledge, not as an average vet, but as a good one. After two and a half years working as a vet, I have finally found a place where I get the support I need. My point is: don't stay where you are unhappy. Be vulnerable and have the courage to accept when you are unhappy. Find somewhere that will support you and push you to do better.

Vulnerability shouldn't be considered a weakness because it allows personal growth. Vulnerability should be viewed as a strength. To be vulnerable allows you to show people that you cannot always be perfect. Being vulnerable is not a liability (麻烦的事) in the workplace. It is the ability to show people that you are human.

【1】Why did the author's boss hire her?

A．She highly recommended herself.

B．She had adequate experience.

C．She was honest about her weakness.

D．She did research about the company.

【2】How does the author personally view vulnerability?

A．It leads to embarrassment.

B．It helps with individual development.

C．It is a weakness in the workplace.

D．It is terrifying to expose your vulnerability.

【3】What do paragraphs 3-5 mainly talk about?

A．Why the author quit her previous job.

B．What made the author feel vulnerable.

C．How the author got rid of her vulnerability.

D．Why the author decided to show her vulnerability.

【4】What can we conclude about vulnerability from the last paragraph?

A．It inspires people to be perfect.

B．It is normal for people to feel vulnerable.

C．It allows people to discover their strength.

D．It can cause people trouble in the workplace.

23、The benefits of outdoor play are fairly well-understood by parents. 【1】. As a mother to three energetic children who spend considerable amounts of time outdoors, I have figured out some good ways to maximize outdoor playtime. I’d like to share some of my advice with readers who might be struggling with this.

【2】. If you start viewing daily outdoor play as being as important as a meal or a good night’s sleep, you’ll start to find more time for it. Think of it as nonnegotiable; no extra things should happen until outdoor playtime has been checked off the list.

Replace organized activities with unorganized ones. Instead of packing your after-school calendar with sports training and interest classess, cancel those for at least several times a week and just tell your kids they can play outside instead.【3】.

Mandate (强制规定) outdoor family time on weekends. My family goes cross-country skiing every single Saturday morning in winter.【4】, even when the temperature drops to -20℃. This time is fiercely protected because of the benefits it has for all of us-exercise, fresh air, satisfaction and family bonding.

Go outdoors with your kids. If you go outside, younger ones in particular will want to be there, too. Make it fun by lighting a campfire in the backyard or setting up a camp stove to make hot chocolate. Or you can have a picnic or work in a garden together.【5】; you can be present without being engaged.

A．We never skip it

B．Start thinking of it as a necessity

C．We adjust the skiing routine accordingly

D．List special activities for outdoor playtime

E．These unexpected arrangements will surely excite your kids

F．You can even just sit and read a book while your kids play nearby

G．However, it’s hard for many parents to fit outdoor playtime into their kids’ days

24、The Disneyland parks are full of amusements, but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries, rubbish, and groups of visitors. People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well-equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.

None of this happened by accident. Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937. He first imagined the park's buildings in a small size. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages. He visited Colonial Williamsburg, where employees dressed up and walked around. Then he organized a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland. Walt Disney had blueprints (蓝图) drawn up, and tried to get the permission to break ground (破土动工).

In 1953, he bought some land in Anaheim. Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead. It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed. Railway track had to be laid around. Disney chose the hub-and-spoke (轴辐式) street pattern that many cities have. “I want Disneyland to be a place where you can't get lost,” he said, Designers and architects also diagrammed (图解) the rides and made models, while artists painted the background.

Finally in July 1955, the visitors came. If they picked up maps, they could see the results of years’ planning: the shops and restaurants, the square, and the streets. The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.

【1】What does the author want to show about Disneyland parks in the first paragraph?

A．The convenient environment.

B．The amusing tourist attractions.

C．The differences between the parks.

D．The visitors' common requirements.

【2】Why did Walt Disney travel to different places including Beverly Park?

A．To choose a place for construction.

B．To advertise his Disneyland Park.

C．To experience American culture.

D．To get inspiration for his park.

【3】What kind of person is Walt Disney according to the passage?

A．Confident but selfish.

B．Stubborn but kind-hearted.

C．Considerate and determined.

D．Careful and hard-working.

26、阅读下面，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Jane, hurry and get your coat. We’re going to the store,” Dad said. I ran to do as my father instructed. A shopping trip with Dad was a rare experience. He traveled a great deal of time, and I valued the unexpected chance to be alone with him. Once in the car, I asked, “Where are we going?” Dad only smiled, “You’ll see.” To my surprise, we didn’t take the usual turn to the area’s one department store.

Instead, we turned down an alley (小巷) where small houses lined the road. Dad parked the car, got out, and walked to the front door of the first house on the street. Within a few minutes, he returned with Connor, a boy from our school. I tried to hide my disappointment. I had wanted my father to accompany me. At that time, it looked as though I would have to share him with someone else. “Hi, Connor,” I said, only just able to keep the upset and unhappiness from my voice.

“Hi,” he replied. He looked as uncomfortable as I felt. Then, Dad drove to the store. Once inside, he led us to the boys’ clothing section. I was much unhappier. Not only did I have to share my dad, but I also had to look at boring clothes. “Connor will give a poem-reading performance in your school’s 40th anniversary celebration next Friday,” Dad said. “He’ll need a suit to wear for this big occasion. So we’re here.” Connor looked with wonder at the row of clothes.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为100左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Dad must have noticed my unhappiness.
