21．（6分）Henry closed the door slowly as Kate left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go and visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids” —Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Mike chanted Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Henry realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Henry knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Henry realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Henry called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Henry was smiling.
1、Henry expected to when his wife left home.
A．go hiking near his home
B．read the newspaper to his children
C．enjoy his first day off
D．watch TV talk show with his children
2、Which of the following did Alex do?
A．Drawing on the wall. B．Feeding the fish.
C．Eating apple jam. D．Reading in a room.
3、Why did the father ask the daycare centre for help?
A．Because he wanted to watch a football game.
B．Because he had to take care of his mother in hospital.
C．Because he found it hard to manage his kids.
D．Because he suddenly had to go to his company.
4、This text is developed .
A．by space B．by comparison
C．by process D．by time
22．（8分）A seaside Long Island village on Saturday honored the memory of a girl whose message in a bottle was found after Superstorm Sandy, discovered by cleanup workers a dozen years after she threw it into the ocean.
A plate was placed on a rock near the bridge, where the bottle was discovered in December. It reads: “Be excellent to yourself dude(朋友),” the same message inside the bottle. The note, a line from the 1989 Keanu Reeves movie “Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,” was written by Sidonie Fery and threw into the ocean inside a bottle. She died in 2010 at the age of 18 in a fall from a cliff(悬崖) in Switzerland.
The bottle only traveled a mile or two westward from where it was likely deposited to the location where cleanup workers found it. It was intermingled with broken clothes, boating equipment and a range of sea trash.
But because the note included the girl's New York City phone number, what otherwise would have been a worthless piece of trash became a priceless souvenir. Workers in Patchogue, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Manhattan, called the number and returned the bottle to her mother, Mimi Fery.
Fery said she sobbed when she heard workers had found the bottle and was grateful to them. “It's unbelievable,” she said Saturday of the ceremony. “The town is amazing, my daughter was a lovely and lively person and very fun, she would do fun things. She always brought joy to everybody no matter how she felt.”
The plate also reads: “I learned that even though someone is very small they may have a big heart” and bears a photo of a smiling, young Sidonie along with the date the bottle was found: Dec. 6, 2012.
1、The passage is mainly written to _____.
A．tell us how to write a note B．inform us of some useful tips
C．share with us a moving story D．introduce the bottle message
2、The underlined word “intermingled” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.

a.Sidonie fell from a cliff and died.
b.Sidonie wrote a line and threw it into the ocean in a bottle.
c.Keanu’s movie “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” came out.

23．（8分）The East Room of the White House was bursting with color on July 14, as 56 young cooks arrived for the Kids’ Stale Dinner. The chefs, aged from 8 to 12, were winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, a program that encourages kids to create healthy, affordable, original, and tasty lunch recipes.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the event, now in its fifth year and part of her Let’s Move! More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities. Recipes had to represent each of the food groups by including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. The 56 winners were treated to a meal featuring some of their own creations.
“This event isn’t just about eating well today, but about setting kids like all of you up for a lifetime of healthy choices.” the former first lady told the young cooks. “As small you are, you can change lives. I see the work of kids, the magic you all do. People change because of kids.”
Amelie Chen’s winning recipe was Breadfruit, Taro, and Garlic Chicken Trio. The 9-year-old from American Samoa said she was “very excited” to be attending the event. “Winning this trip to the White House makes me think of my favorite quote from Walt Disney: ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’” she said.
Famous cooks Rachaels Ray and Tanya Steel, editorial director of Clean Plates Omnimedia, a media company focusing on health and wellness food culture, were also in attendance. Michelle recognized them as driving forces in making the Kids’ State Dinner a reality several years ago. Ray and Steel posed for pictures with the young cooks.
Following the meal, the crowd was treated to performances by the cast of Walt Disney World Resort’s The Jungle Book. The 56 winners ended their visit with a tour of the White House Kitchen Garden.

24．（8分） THREE years ago Jenny Salgado, a Dominican shop assistant, moved to Highland town, a neighborhood of Baltimore. When she arrived the shop she works in, it was one of only a few Spanish businesses. Now there are many more. “It’s good now if you speak Spanish,” she smiles.
Baltimore has been losing people for 60 years. To address this, its mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, wants to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those with no papers, the city is introducing micro-loans (小额贷款) which require no credit checks; city police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce any federal immigration law unless required to. The then governor, Martin O’Malley made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licenses.
Such welcoming policies are spreading. Such cities as Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all eagerly try to please immigrants. Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licenses.
When a city’s population falls, both tax receipts and services fall. Half-deserted neighborhoods breed (滋生) crime, driving yet more people to leave. No city has escaped this death circle without attracting new residents, says Steve Tobocman of Global Detroit.
Several studies suggest that when immigrants arrive, crime goes down, schools improve and shops open up. In Detroit, immigrants living near the tiny separate city of Hamtramck have formed local watches to guard against thieves. Their neighborhoods are not just safer; they are also among the only places where it is as easy to buy fresh vegetables as drugs and alcohol.
But attracting new immigrants to the cities which most need them is hard, argues Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution. They care about the same things as everyone else: safe streets, good schools and jobs. Cities which have lost population for decades struggle with all of these.
1、What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Account for. B．Deal with. C．Get rid of. D．Take away from.
2、What may happen when a half-deserted city makes efforts to attract new residents?
A．Credit card checks will be stricter. B．Immigrants’ identity will be protected.
C．The public services will get worse. D．The crime rate will decline.
3、Which of the following statements may Audrey Singer agree with?
A．Attracting immigrants to such cities as Detroit is demanding.
B．Immigrants have higher expectations of a city than its locals.
C．There is no need to encourage such immigrant-friendly policies.
D．Attracting immigrants helps prevent a city from losing population.
25．（10分）Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.
Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history.
"A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?
"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧
