21、Last year, the widespread pandemic, COVID-19, struck the globe, for which reason many countries posed lockdown restrictions in some disease-stricken areas.
When her five-year-old daughter, Sophie, was told she had to isolate (隔离) around the Christmas period, Amy Thompson had an innovative idea that would make sure both Sophie, and her seven-year-old brother, Will, were kept entertained.
“I wanted to do something a bit different as it was going to be the first Christmas with no Santa visits or trips to Christmas markets, and I still wanted to give them a really special December.”
Amy, who is an event and wedding planner, wrote down different activities on pieces of paper and put them into an advent calendar for the children to open. Each activity was different and a total surprise.
Movie night with treats, game night, making video calls with their cousins and baking were just some of the activities that they opened on those chilly December mornings that kept them excited for the day ahead.
“We did almost all of them together. Christmas is a time to spend with family but when we couldn’t see our extended family, the kids were quite upset so we tried to make it as special as possible with the advent calendar. Some of the activities we would have done anyway, like watching Christmas movies, but they thought it was a special treat every time they opened an activity because we made a big deal out of it.”
Amy plans to do the same tradition again this year and is already thinking up new exciting activities to add for 2021 that won’t have to be within the lockdown restrictions.
【1】Why did Amy design an advent calendar?
A．To isolate her kids.
B．To cheer up her kids.
C．To make that Christmas different.
D．To defend her kids against the pandemic.
【2】Which of the following best describes Amy?
A．Considerate and curious.
B．Caring and ambitious.
C．Thoughtful and creative.
D．Enthusiastic and determined.
【3】Which statement is TRUE according to the last 2 paragraphs?
A．For the kids, opening an activity matters more than the activity itself.
B．The kids love their extended family more than their own family.
C．The advent calendar won’t be abandoned until the pandemic is over.
D．The advent calendar must include special activities rather than ordinary ones.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To introduce a Christmas activity——the advent calendar.
B．To encourage people to fight against the pandemic.
C．To describe and praise a loving mother——Amy.
D．To tell a family story——a special celebration of Christmas.
22、 "Keep your eyes open. This is where the Ewoks live.' The one-hour drive outside of San Francisco, covered in clouds along windy roads, has inspired my husband to say this sentence at least a dozen times.
We finally arrive at Muir Woods National Park. I explain the strange green stuff on trunks of trees as we pass by--mos (苔藓), something my 5-year-old son Cole has never seen in the desert where we live.
"Mom, are Ewoks real? I think they maybe aren't real. " There's a question in Cole's voice,like he's trying on this idea.
We've been down the road of pretending versus reality before, what with all the talk of superheroes and such around our house. "I think you are right. Ewoks are just in the movies. But it would be cool if they were real, right ?"
Cole's silent for a while, thinking. "I just saw an Ewok’s ear back there!" Coles spotted an additional Ewok arm and one full body of the tiny hairy creatures. It does indeed look like we are in the Ewok forest of Star Wars.
Cole's imagination is more than I can understand. What do plants eat? Which is the best planet? Which rocks float? He loves life. He loves his inner world and outer existence equally.
I hear a lot of worry from parents about media sucking the souls from our children, taking away their time for creative play. For us, this hasn’t been the case. Cole and his brother are quite knowledgeable in the realities of life when it comes to Angry Birds, Curious George, and the adventures of Indiana Jones. These characters, and others of their own invention, live in my home like visitors, joining us on walks and outings. I appreciate them, though not all the time, for the company they give my sons and their busy minds.
I think of media characters as an add-on to already busy minds, by carefully monitoring who gets invited into our lives, they become part of the parenting team. They teach loyalty adventure, curiosity--lessons I'm trying to convey, but in a much cooler way than I can.
Pretence is awesome. It provides practice for real life without the ordinary interfering.
【1】Where are the family heading for?
A.The cinema. B.A park. C.San Francisco. D.A desert.
【2】What can we know about Cole from the passage?
A.He is proud of himself. B.He is full of curiosity.
C.He is courageous. D.He is considerate.
【3】What do many parents think of their children playing via media?
A.It wastes children's time.
B.It can make their children relaxed.
C.It can engage their children in learning actively.
D.It can accompany their children in their absence.
【4】What's the authors attitude to the media characters in parenting children?
A.Indifferent. B.Critical. C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.
23、 John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.
Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination.
Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which had held such importance for her father.
In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John's life, his days in the British Navy during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.
Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of John's life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.
Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.
【1】Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel ______.
A.proud B.worried
C.curious D.guilty
【2】The underlined word 'ritual" in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A.law B.tradition
C.interest D.procedure
【3】We can infer from the text that John ______.
A.once served in both World Wars B.was a man with a grateful heart
C.spent his childhood in Bangor D.joined the navy in the 1970s
【4】What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A.Her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.
B.The story of how she made friends with a lady.
C.Her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.
D.Her memories of a man who fed seagulls.
24、 Researchers from Stockholm University, the Institute for Future Studies, and the University of South Carolina teamed up to find out if generosity really pays off. The results, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, reveal that unselfish people tend both to have more children and earn higher salaries than selfish people.
“The result is clear in both the American and the European data. The most unselfish people have the most children and the moderately (适度地) unselfish receive the highest salaries. And we also find this result over time: the people who are most generous at one point in time have the largest salary,” explains Kimmo Eriksson, a researcher at the Centre for Cultural Evolution at Stockholm University and one of the authors of the study.
Previous psychological and sociological (社会学的) research has shown that selfless people feel happier and have better social relationships, but scientists can now see the benefits of generosity in other areas of life including income and fertility (生育能力).
“The results of this study showed that people generally have the correct expectation that selfish people have fewer children, but erroneously believe that selfish people will make more money. It is nice to see that generosity so often pays off in the long run says Pontus Strimling, a researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies and co-author behind the study.
The researchers believe that prosocial (亲社会的) behaviors help generous people in succeeding from an economic perspective. Although the study does not definitively answer this question, it makes sense that unselfish people, who tend to give their time and energy more willingly to help others would thrive (兴旺) in business relationships and teamwork settings. On the other hand, acting in self-interest has poorer outcomes including lower incomes.
Co-author, Brent Simpson of the University of South Carolina adds, Future research will have to explore deeper into the reasons why generous people earn more and look at whether the link between unselfishness, higher salaries, and more children also exists in other parts of the world.
【1】What do the researchers find in the study?
A.Selfish people prefer to do better jobs.
B.Selfish people want to have more children.
C.Generous people actually earn more money.
D.Generous people are willing to pay off their debts.
【2】What does the underlined word “erroneously” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Wrongly. B.Certainly.
C.Firmly. D.Usually.
【3】Which of the following would the researchers agree to?
A.Selfish people tend to make others to be successful.
B.Unselfish people enjoy working with others in a group.
C.Selfish people devote more time and energy to their job.
D.Unselfish people prefer to finish their jobs on their own.
【4】What will the researchers study in the future?
A.Why generous people are more popular.
B.Why being generous have better outcomes.
C.If unselfishness leads to better pay and productivity.
D.Whether generosity pays off in other parts of the world.
