阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
I was surprised to learn the sleeping arrangements at the log home we were sharing with my in-laws(岳父母) for the week — specifically that my young daughter had agreed to sleep in a first-floor bedroom by herself.
As we settled in, we discussed the number of deer we had spotted on our way up to the log home.
“I hope we see a bear or two this week!” my wife shouted.
At bedtime, my wife and I climbed to the upstairs loft, and my in-laws headed for a bedroom on the first floor. We were about to doze off when our daughter appeared with a worried look on her face. She said a bear was scratching at her window. I decided it would be best if I slept downstairs and my daughter shared the loft with my wife. On my way down, I passed my father-in-law, asleep in front of the television. I was in bed only a couple of minutes when I heard a tap ... tap on the window. Something was indeed out there, but it wasn’t a bear — at least that’s what I told myself.
Sometime later, I was awakened by a loud, low-pitched growl. I saw a large figure in the door and froze as it inched closer to me. I realized what it was —only after my father-in-law leaned in to give me a kiss. I blurted out in my deepest voice, “It’s David.” My father-in-law jumped back. We both laughed nervously at the awkward moment, and I explained his granddaughter’s bedroom switch. I told him that the only thing scarier than a bear attack was Papa Bear coming in to kiss me good-night. He growled in agreement!

New Zealand has announced it will outlaw smoking for the next generation, so that those who are aged 14 and under today will never be legally able to buy tobacco.
New legislation (法规) means the legal smoking age will increase every year, to create a smoke-free generation of New Zealanders, associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall said on Thursday. “This is a historic day for the health of our people,” she said.
The government announced the rising age alongside other measures to make smoking unaffordable and inaccessible, to try to reach its goal of making the country entirely smoke-free within the next four years. Other measures include reducing the legal amount of nicotine in tobacco products to very low levels, cutting down the shops where cigarettes could legally be sold, and increasing funding to addiction services. The new laws will not restrict vape (电子烟) sales.
New Zealand’s daily smoking rates have been dropping over time – down to 11.65% in 2018, from 18% a decade earlier. But smoking rates for Maori and Pacifika were far higher – 29% for Maori and 18% for Pasifika. “If nothing changes, it would be decades till Maori smoking rates fall below 5%,” Verrall said. She said to end smoking in the next four years was within reach: “I believe it is. The issue is, though, if we don’t change what we’re doing, we won’t make it for Maori – and that’s what the plan is really focused on”.
Smoking has already been widely replaced by vaping among teenage New Zealanders, which is also attracting many young people who would never have taken up smoking – according to surveying of 19,000 high school students this year, nearly 20% were vaping daily or several times a day, the majority with high nicotine doses. That’s compared to 3% of those aged 15-17 who smoked daily in 2018, or 13% who smoked a decade earlier.
Verrall said the legislation would be introduced in 2022, with the age limits coming in in 2023.
24. What’s the final goal of the new legislation?
A. To forbid the people aged 14 and under to buy tobacco.
B.To make the country entirely smoke-free within years.
C.To make buying tobacco hard.
D.To increase the legal smoking age.
25. What’s true about New Zealand outlawing smoking for the next generation?
A. Everyone is allowed to purchase tobacco with permit.
B. Purchase of smoking becomes easier and less pricy.
C. The vape sales will be greatly influenced.
D. It benefits the building of a smoke-free generation.
26. What do the numbers in paragraph 4 reflect?
A. New Zealand’s daily smoking rate is quite low.
B. It has taken a long time to decrease the rate of smoking.
C. Smoking rates are not equal among different parts in New Zealand.
D. The smoking rate will be higher over the years.
27. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. A Historic Day of Smoking B. Decreasing Smoking Rate of New Zealand
C. Vape-replacement of Tobacco D. New Zealand to Ban Smoking for Next Generation
C
We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions is having on our planet and the efforts needed to tackle climate change. Most of us are doing our bit to minimize our impact on the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?
Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they generate and use power, thereby cutting carbon dioxide output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow.
In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It’s recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers(燃气锅炉), which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners grants(拨款) of up to £5,000 to get them installed. Another initiative in the UK is a big push towards electric vehicles. There are to be financial incentives(激励) for car manufacturers, and more charging points are to be installed in streets. And there’s to be a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel(柴油) cars by 2030.
But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so those remaining will have to be compensated for, or offset(抵消). One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, which are good at absorbing carbon dioxide. The UK government has pledged(保证) to plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. There are other ideas too, but what’s certain is this will cost money. The CBI’s Tom Thackray told the BBC that “those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of inaction(不作为).”
Whether the UK, or anyone else, reaches net zero remains to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it’s generally recognized that a global effort is needed to tackle climate change. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.
28. Which is NOT one of UK government’s plans to achieve net zero?
A. A big push towards electric vehicles.
B. To plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025.
C. To weigh up the all the costs against the cost of inaction.
D. To replace gas boilers with heat pumps.
29. What does the word “initiative” mean in paragraph 3?
A. A new plan. B. A new grant C. A new law. D. A new ban.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The world will probably reach net zero.
B.One country’s efforts are far from enough to achieve net zero.
C.Every other country is moving in the same direction.
D.There’s doubt about how net zero can be accurately measured.

Parents can play a vital role in helping teens succeed in school by being informed and lending a little support. Even though teens are seeking independence, parental involvement is an important ingredient for academic success. 31
Attend back-to-school night and parent-teacher conferences. Attending your school's back-to-school night is effective to get to know your teen's teachers and their expectations. School administrators may discuss policies that parents and guardians of teenagers need to know about. 32 Although in high school, staff usually set these up only when parental involvement is needed to address issues like behavior problems and poor academic performance.
Support homework expectations. During the high school years, homework gets more intense and grades become critical for college plans. Many teens are learning how to balance academics with extracurricular activities and social lives. 33 It means no phone, TV, or websites other than homework-related resources. Be sure to check in from time to time to make sure that your teen is attention-focusing.
34 A nutritious breakfast fuels up teens and gets them ready for the day. In general, teens who eat breakfast have more energy and do better in school. You can help boost your teen's attention span, concentration, and memory by providing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein, as well as low in added sugar
Make time to talk about school. Many teens spend so much of the day outside the home: at school, extracurricular activities, or with peers. 35 Still, you should make efforts to talk with your teen every day and he or she will know their parents are interested in their academic lives, and they'll take school seriously as well and the challenges of high school can be easier to face.
A.Send your teen to school ready to learn.
B.Ensure your teen to have good living habits.
C.Attending parent-teacher conferences is another way to stay informed.
D.Here are several ways to keep your teen on track to succeed in high school.
E.But parents are still their anchors for providing love, guidance, and support.
F.So staying connected with them can be challenging for parents and guardians.
G.One way to help is to ensure your teen has a quiet, distraction-free place to study.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The first time we set eyes on "Big Red Dad, Mom and I were walking through the freshly fallen snow on our way to Hubble's Hardware store on Main Street in Huntsville. As we passed the Eaton's department store's window, we stopped as usual to gaze and do a bit of dreaming. The beautifully decorated window display held the best goods ever, which were all sat comfortably beneath the breathtaking skirt of Big Red.
Mom's eyes were glued to the red shining dress, dotted with twinkling stars. "My goodness," she managed to say in wonder. "Would you just look at that dress!" Then, totally out of character, Mom gave a spin of a waltz on the slippery sidewalk. But soon she was her usual self again and shook her head in disgust. "Who on earth would want such a fancy dress?"
As we continued down the street, Mom turned back for one more look. "My goodness! You'd think they'd display something a person could use!"
Christmas was nearing, and the red dress was soon forgotten. Mom, of all people, was not one to wish for, or spend money on, items that were not practical. Dad, on the other hand, liked to indulge (纵容) whenever the budget allowed. Of course, he'd get a scolding for his occasional splurging (挥霍), but it was all done with the best intention.
There were many other modern things that old farm needed, like electric range and a clothes dryer, but Mom insisted that those things would have to wait until we could afford them. She had worn the heavy, grey wool coat every winter for as long as I could remember though she did have one or two "special" dresses saved for church on Sundays.
Choosing something for Mom was much harder. When Dad and I asked, she thought carefully and then hinted modestly for some tea towels, face cloths or a new dishpan(洗碗盆).
On our last trip to town before Christmas, we were driving up Main Street when Mom suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Would you just look at that!" She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton's.
