22．（8分）It was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away.
I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket. How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf and stuck my feet into very large boots .
I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, save for my children. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes peeled for any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind.
The snow circling around me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.
As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some dragon slayer (屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.
1、Seeing all three chickens sitting around the bucket ,the author felt ______.
A．incredible B．worried
C．shy D．confident
2、How does the author reach the hens ?
A．By searching for the white bucket. B．By wearing protective clothes.

3、From the story, we know that _________.

D．the author enjoyed herself in the snow
4、What might be the best title for the text?
A．Weather in extreme. B．Hens in trouble.
C．Kindness in need. D．Hero in the snow.
23．（8分） I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.
After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.
Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.
Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.
Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.
1、What made the author interested as well as confused?
A．The waiter’s making normal gestures.
B．Customers’ buying coffee for the needy.
C．The waiter’s attaching coffee orders on the wall.
D．Customers’ paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.
2、The author thought the man in need was ______.
A．not properly dressed
B．obviously poor
C．not right to leave without paying
D．strange to order coffee from the wall

3、In the author’s opinion, coffee is _____.
A．necessary in our life
B．respect shown for the needy
C．a blessing to someone who can’t afford
D．a blessing everyone should have
4、The passage is mainly concerned about ______.
A．learning from the waiter
B．buying coffee for others
C．caring more about the people in need
D．analyzing the characters in the coffee shop
24．（8分）They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away ． Well, there is one lady who believes that it’s actually chocolate．At 102 years of age, she’s living proof．
According to Boonville, Indiana’s Eunice Modlin, a daily dose of chocolate has been the key to a long and healthy life．Specifically, two pieces of dark chocolate．It’s not just Eunice who believes this．
Many scientists have attributed the sweet to health benefits such as lower chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes．
However, researchers believe that Eunice might be overlooking the fact that she has never smoked or drunk alcohol in her long life, and that chocolate might not be the significant cause of her longevity．
“There are so many other factors to her long life and chocolate isn’t the only one,” nutritionist Vanessa Rissetto said．Genes, her diet in general…are probably the main reasons.”
At any rate, Eunice is still alive and kicking ． With four children, seven grandkids, 14 great-grandkids and 11 great-great grandkids, this lady has a big family．
It must be noted that Eunice was also very athletic, being an archer in her 20s ．Amazingly, she has lived through tough times such as the Great Depression and World War II ．Also, the healthy blood runs through the veins of other family members．Eunice’s brother is also still alive, at 101 years of age．
No matter what you might think, Eunice’s consumption of chocolate can’t be ignored．In 2015, a BMJ study showed that a daily treat of one small bar would give the consumer 23% less chance of having a stroke (中风)．
What is in the sweet that makes it so beneficial? Apparently, cocoa beans have flavonoids, plant nutrients that have useful antioxidants (抗氧化剂)．
“Not all chocolate is created equal,” Rissetto warns ．“Dark chocolate has more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate—which does not actually contain chocolate—is not a good source of flavonoids.”
1、According to the article, which of the following lead to Eunice Modlin’s long and healthy life?
a．two pieces of dark chocolate
b．genes
c．lifelong exercise
d．good diet
e．love of her large family
A．a, b, d B．b, c, d
C．a, b, e D．a, c, d
2、Rissetto thinks that ．
A．chocolate is the most important thing that affects Eunice’s health
B．no smoking or drinking contributes the most to Eunice’s longevity
C．chocolate really has nothing to do with her long and healthy life
D．Eunice’s good diet doesn’t only mean taking chocolate every day
3、What the author presented in the passage sounds ．
A．persuasive B．objective
C．subjective D．critical
4、From the whole passage we can conclude that______________．
A．there’s universal proof for what contributes to a long life
B．it is generally accepted that chocolate is the key to longevity
C．many factors may contribute to people’s good health
D．a bit of any chocolate a day keeps the doctor away
25．（10分）Wanted: A Personal Assistant
I’m a very busy woman, looking for an assistant to help me with certain important tasks. This is not your average assistant job. What I’m looking for is someone to take care of some of my more personal business so that I may focus on my true passion: grocery shopping. Please apply if and only if you are willing and able to accomplish the following tasks:
Work I would love to have a nine-to-five job. However, I find sitting in an office all day unbearable. An ideal assistant would secure a high-paying office job and excel in that setting, even going so far as to eagerly accept every invitation to after-work drinks.
Go on family vacations I love my family, especially when I don’t have to spend time with them. Thus, I will require my employee to attend all family vacations in my place. Since I’ll miss out on spending time with my nephews, a good assistant will live-stream (直播) them for me the entire time while discreetly muting the live-stream whenever they start fighting.
Exercise I am determined to get in better shape but find working out strenuous and tiring. The right candidate will exercise for a minimum of an hour every day and allow me to reap the benefits of his or her vigorous activity.
Eat Just kidding—I love eating!
Date I’m looking for love but find dating tedious and intimidating. Ideally, my employee will get a drink with a potential mate so he or she can do the tiresome work of getting to know someone and deciding whether I’ll like him. If the romantic candidate advances past a third date, I’d be willing to step in and proceed with the relationship from there, excluding birthdays, holidays, and other high-pressure situations.
Have a baby I’m eager to have a child, but being pregnant and giving birth seems hard. Likewise, raising a child seems daunting. I’d prefer to spend an hour or two with my child each day while someone else tackles the incredible responsibility of childrearing. Once my child turns 18, I will happily assume all parenting duties, excluding any financial obligations.
1、What is the author truly interested
