21、On one day of May, when Jared Garcia got home from work, he opened the fridge and saw four different pizza boxes from four different restaurants. “It’s pretty embarrassing, but it’s the truth,” Jared said.

At 129 kilograms, the 27-year-old would sit on the couch watching TV, without energy left after conquering the workday. Late-night snacks included popcorn and ice cream. Gradually, his clothes felt like getting smaller every time he did laundry. Also, Jared missed the feeling he got when he used to play sports as a teenager.

Together, he and his girlfriend, Bella MacDonald, decided to make a change to lifestyle. They had talked about doing it before, but this time, it stuck. They didn’t want to look back 20 years from now realizing they should have made changes to be healthier then.

First, they would start going to the gym. But they didn’t want to put in the hours of fitness without having the right diet to bring up their energy levels. They would eat their meals between 8 am and 6 pm each day. This helped them kick the late-night snacking habit. “You stop mindless eating in the evening. You’re also eating in sync (同步) with your circadian rhythm (昼夜节律), which is more favorable for weight loss,” said Jared.

They immediately noticed their energy levels started to pick back up as they started eating pizza for proteins like turkey alongside vegetables. “When we’re eating only during a ten-hour period, we do want to follow good nutritional guidelines, including protein, fiber, enough fluids in our diet as well,” Jared said.

Jared loved eating healthier options, but always had a hard time getting up to go to the gym. For Bella, food was a weakness, but she was excited to get up and work out. Anyway, they would stay the course.

【1】What can we know about Jared from paragraph 2?

A．He kept slim all the time.

B．He once had bad eating habits.

C．He forgot to play sports.

D．He worked late into the night.

【2】What does the underlined word “stuck” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Paid off.

B．Started early.

C．Became accepted.

D．Remained uncertain.

【3】What did Jared and Bella do besides going to the gym?

A．They stopped getting proteins and fiber.

B．They tried to find out their weaknesses.

C．They avoided eating late-night snacks.

D．They asked friends to work out together.

【4】How was Jared and Bella’s losing weight?

A．Tough.

B．Unexpected.

C．Interesting.

D．Heartbreaking.

22、   Bryan and Tamera Wong of Clovis, California, once had a very different plan for their life together. They imagined having two children and Tamera driving a convertible (敞篷车). But there seemed a different plan waiting for them, they say, and it’s far better.

The couple has 12 children. 【1】 Tamera drives a van that can seat 15 people, and she couldn’t be happier.

Their eldest biological daughter, Breanna, 20, had a hand in the adoptions. At age 6, she asked her parents a big question as they collected items to send to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Mexico, “Mom, I know we are gathering all these clothes and toys for orphans. 【2】 ”

They thought over her question, and it led them to adopt a healthy baby girl, Brooklyn, from an orphanage in China in 2004.

【3】 That led to the adoption of Blythe, 17, Bethany, 10, Braxton, 10, Bayley, 8, Bella, 7, Beka-Joy, 4, and Bennett, 4. Four are missing limbs, and two have a birth defect where the spinal chord（脊髓） doesn’t develop properly. Blythe has a neurological disorder.

“We think we are saving these kids and we are helping them out, but really they truly blessed (护佑) us,” Bryan says. “ 【4】 ”

Bryce, 16, one of the Wongs’ four biological children, loves his big family. “We should love the orphans of the world, and I feel like we are pretty much doing that,” Bryce says. 【5】 “I think they are definitely taking action. Not just listening, but doing.”

A．He’s proud of his parents.

B．What can we do to help them keep fit?

C．Eight are adopted — seven with disabilities.

D．We are able to learn many things through them.

E．But isn’t what orphans really need just a family?

F．The couple always dreamed of having a big family.

G．After that, they started looking for children with the most needs.

23、On a bright early summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team, and that’s a regular part of their daily life. As they train and cut seconds off their times, which makes them closer to the championship in the following large-scale (大规模的) competitions, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just honor or health related. You can learn useful life skills.

Paul Waas, coach of the swim team, explains, “The discipline (自制力) comes into play when you’re talking about concentrating on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. When you focus on what you’re doing right and what you can do better, then you’ll see the improvement.”

Besides, there is also responsibility, goals and workings within a group. Again, here is Coach Waas. “It’s really great! It’s so fun to watch from year to year. I’ve had kids who as 7-year-olds on the team could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. Now they’ve come back as 8-year-olds, having set some goals and having things that they want to achieve. These skills can help them a lot.”

But playing the sports is not without harm. Some can be hard on the body. Young athletes suffer serious injuries that follow them into adulthood. Coach Waas says that in fact, swimming is different from most others. First, it poses a lower risk of injury. The second one relates to how swim teams are structured. Actually, children are not the only ones who can benefit. Adults can also benefit from team sports.

【1】Why do the swimmers gather at a swimming pool in the early morning?

A．To obtain vitamin D from the sun.

B．To build practical skills for future.

C．To join in a large-scale competitive.

D．To carry out their routine practice.

【2】What do Paul Waas’ words imply in paragraph 2?

A．Swimmers should concentrate on details.

B．Members get disciplined and focused in the team.

C．Coaches play a key role in layers’ improvement.

D．Most swimmers enjoy sinning in the same way.

【3】What happens to the kids after a year’s training?

A．They are more aware of what to do.

B．They pay less attention to training.

C．They devote more time to practice.

D．They care more about who goes first.

【4】What does the author want to convey in the text?

A．Exercise benefits everyone.

B．Swimming is better than other sports.

C．Team sports teach life lessons.

D．Physical exercise should be a habit.

24、   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.

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。

It was August. We were on vacation, just my six-year-old son Kevin and I, for my husband was always busy. Having driven from our home in the city to a remote and peaceful place, we wouldn’t see friends or family—it would be a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We had hiked about half mile to an attractive spot called Diana’s Baths, which afforded visitors an expanse of transparent water. The water flows and then falls off a series of big flat stones, making itself a small waterfall, about 7 inches high.

Several couples and their kids in swimsuits were playing to their heart’s content in the water. We joined them. I watched as some younger parents nervously drove their babies away from the stones edges. Fast-moving water made standing there quite dangerous, for I saw a certain kid with curly hair missed a step and almost fell down. The air was full of shouts and laughter. I felt so lucky that I didn’t always need to fix my eyes on my son. Kevin could navigate his physical space with more confidence and care. But I was still terrified when I saw Kevin jump between the slippery rocks.

But with the passing of time, I soon relaxed, and we were both having fun, my kid splashing and kicking in the cool water, laughing heartily as I put my head under the cold running water.

Then seconds later, every fear I’d ever had rose to the surface. I lifted my head, turned and saw Kevin sitting between two stones, with the rushing water flowing around him. I could see he was shaking sometimes because of the water rapids. I yelled at him to get out. He yelled back something that I couldn’t hear.
