21、It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.

“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.

“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”

“Am I rich? Pity, no！”

I looked at my worn­out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

【1】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Lady, are you rich?

B. A story of Thanksgiving Day

C. Don't forget how rich you are

D. Does cups and saucers match well?

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.

B. The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.

C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.

D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.

【3】The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.

A. show that she was a kind­hearted lady

B. remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she was

C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is

D. prove that she had understood what meant being rich

【4】It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.

A. how much money you have made

B. what attitude you have had towards life

C. the way you help others

D. your social relationship

22、The UK is the second most popular destination for international third-level students after the US. Experts suggest that this popularity is because of the good name UK universities have for their excellent teaching methods and learning facilities (设施). 【1】 International students graduating from UK universities are more likely to get better jobs and earn higher salaries than those who studied at home.

But the big question for students thinking about studying in the UK is: how much does it all cost? The answer, unfortunately, is: a lot! The average cost of study for international students is just under £12,000 in 2016. 【2】 You also have to add in the cost of living, which is around the same amount again.

The greatest expense is accommodation, with yearly rent at around £5,000. Then there’s food followed by personal items (物品). So it really isn’t hard to see how students find themselves spending approximately £12,000 in total on living costs alone.   【3】 In major cities, it tends to be much more.

【4】This means you are usually paying for three instead of four years’ study — saving one year’s expense.

So, is it worth travelling to the UK for third-level study? The short answer is: yes. 【5】 If you do badly, get poor grades or find life in the UK hard to deal with, your adventure abroad will be a very expensive mistake.

A．It has several advantages.

B．And it doesn’t end there.

C．In fact, this is just the average cost

D．However, it is certainly a big risk.

E．You can enjoy a better quality of life.

F．Another reason is the performance of graduates.

G．On the other hand, most UK degrees are a year shorter than US one

24、We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.

“You could win prizes,’’ our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”

We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.

Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always — always — rewarding the same old winners.

I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.

Minutes passed.

No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.

I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

【1】What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?

A. It must appear in time.

B. It must be done in class.

A. formed an idea for

B. made an outline for

C. made some space for

D. chose some colors for

【3】After seeing the good students’ designs, some students ________.

A. loved their own designs more

B. thought they had a fair chance

C. put their own designs in a corner

D. thought they would not win the prize

【4】We can infer from the passage that the author ________.

A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much

B. loved poster competitions very much

C. felt surprised to win the competition

D. became wise and rich after the competition

25、Man’s best friend is being credited with saving his owner’s life during a scare.
