21．（6分） A young man returns to his hometown of Aractataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”
This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother’s way of storytelling later influenced his own methods.
When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aractataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy.
During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aractataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood-writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called “Leaf Storm”.
For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aractataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.
In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.

22．（8分）Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1、Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
2、The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______..
A．abandoned B．avoided
C．lacked D．taken
3、The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.
A．join in the holiday celebration of the company
B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
C．finish her work before the deadline approached
D．meet her father who was already an old man
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Two Saddest Words B．The Most Useful Rule
C．The Peace of Mind D．The Emotional Well-being
23．（8分）Time Travel
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel. The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 2 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).
If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
1、The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show ______.
A．the contribution of H.G .Wells B．the story’s different features
C．the long history of time travel D．people’s interest in time machine
2、Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories _____.
A．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
B．push the invention of the first spaceship
C．have proved wrong by some time travelers
D．have similarities in many way
3、In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that ______.
A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B．the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible
C．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
D．the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
4、According to the passage, what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?
A．Skeptical. B．Unclear.
C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned.
24．（8分）Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth(灰蛾) is an example of the natural selection process.
In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend（融合）into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.
At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot(烟煤) and became darker. The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.
In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.
1、Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “thrives” in the first paragraph?
A．Reduces. B．Booms.
C．Changes. D．Endangers.
2、What can we infer about the peppered moth’s natural selection process?
A．The length of time was unusual.
B．The soot levels in England did not affect it.
C．This type of color change was typical for moths.
D．It was a good example of environmental protection.
3、What’s the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths?
A．Dark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.
B．Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.
C．Birds failed to see light-colored moths.
D．The color of moths was unimportant.
4、Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?
A．Birds would eat fewer moths.
B．Moths would not be able to stay alive.
C．Light-colored moths would disturb people’s life.
D．The population of dark-colored moths would increase.
25．（10分） Squirrels aren’t natural city dwellers(居民). In 1986 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor”.
Around that time, the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to “create poc
