S. Olympic Track and Field Trials didn't break a world record or send a teenager to Tokyo. But Lindsay Flach still became the shining star. Lindsay Flach competed in the heptathlon（七项全能）18 weeks pregnant and showed off a growing belly. Though she finished a distant last among the 15 women who made it through all seven events of the heptathlon, her participation this past weekend was a victory in itself.The 2020 season was supposed to be Flach's last chance to compete in the heptathlon, the sport that developed into her enthusiasm over the past decade. She intended to grasp a chance on the U. S. Olympic team one final time before marrying her longtime boyfriend and starting a family together.In early 2020, Flach quit her job, temporarily left her soon-to-be-husband behind and moved nearly 250 miles south to train with her new coach at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. She intended to remain there through the 2020 U. S. Olympic Trials. Then the pandemic（疫情）struck three months into her training.When the spread of COVID-19 forced the postponement（延迟）of the Tokyo Games and cast doubt on whether they would ever happen, Flach, 31, decided she could no longer put her life on hold. In March, Flach began struggling to hit marks that had previously been routine to her. She took a pregnancy test that came back positive, a result that made her doubt whether her Olympic hopeful.The pregnancy weakened Flach's strength and energy but not her desire to say goodbye to track and field on her own terms. While Flach's final score was less than half her personal best, she's trying not to focus on that aspect, nor on the fact that she never qualified for an Olympics in her career. She's excited for what's to come in her life, excited she was able to participate in a third Olympic Trials and excited that she showed how strong would-be mothers can be. 4．When did Flach begin to love the heptatblon?A．At the age of 18.B．At the age of 21.C．At the age of 30.D．At the age of 31.5．Which word can best describe Flach according to Paragraph 3?A．Determined.B．Ambitious.C．Unfortunate.D．Organized.6．What made Flach excited?A．She was expecting a new life.B．She won the third Olympic Trials.C．She could marry her loved boyfriend finally.D．She was chosen to take part in the Olymipic Games.7．In which section of a magazine can this text be read?A．Teens.B．Sports.C．Economy.D．Advertisement.阅读短文，回答问题Are you patient? Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer? Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it's becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins（企鹅）from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag（标签）photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies（群）. They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, "citizen scientists" marked more images than the research team had in five years.Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, "When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do."The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. V olunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, "We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers."But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation? Dr. Simpson isn't worried. "We get lots of people looking at the same things," he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there's no fooling the scientists.And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every "citizen scientist" will be credited.8．According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists?A．An engineer who works in a company.B．A university student who likes science.C．A businessman who invests in a new project.D．A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.9．What is a volunteer required to do?A．Publish his observation data by himself.B．Observe pictures and record his observation.C．Discuss his observation with other volunteers.D．Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.10．How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation?A．By working with volunteers.B．By using their own data.C．By identifying pictures and photos.D．By going through a peer review.11．What's Dr. Simpson's attitude towards the volunteers' observation?A．Objective.B．Supportive.C．Negative.D．Doubtful.阅读短文，回答问题Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.In 1966, while studying chimps（猩猩）in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the group. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance."For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them," Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. "It's really not that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy. "Not all animals are so aggressive toward their sick neighbors. Sometimes it's as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.Caribbean lobsters（龙虾）also avoid diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection—oncethe lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals."Overall, it's important to note that, unlike us, animals don't realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate," Kiesecker explains. "As humans, we have that ability. It's a big difference. "12．Why did other chimps attack McGregor?A．He was a loner.B．He got seriously ill.C．He may cause the group ill.D．He hurt other chimps first.13．How did Goodall feel when seeing McGregor's result?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Objective.D．Sympathetic.14．How long will the healthy Caribbean lobsters stay with the diseased ones?A．About a month.B．About eight weeks.C．About four days.D．Fewer than four weeks.15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Social Distancing in Nature.B．Carrying out Social Distancing.C．Puzzling Social Distancing in Chimps.D．Social Distancing between Human and Animals.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）阅读七选五The comfort zone is a safe space where we don't risk, but neither do we grow. 16．Change and growth occur. We can not become what we want to be, remaining in what we are today. There are many good reasons to be encouraged to leave the comfort zone.Prepare yourself for difficult times. Safe as we feel in our comfort zone, that space will not protect us from the problems, which usually appear in life in an unexpected way producing great changes. 17．These problems can produce psychological disorders. But learning to live outside the comfort zone, dealing with novelty and uncertainty will make us people emotionally stronger.18．The comfort zone represents everything we know. Outside is another world to discover. In the comfort zone there are no great ideas or new discoveries. It's necessary to leave the known to find the inspiration to creativity. In fact, a study conducted at the University of Florida found that students who spent just one term outside their country scored better on creativity tests than those who had been studying at the same university.Feel more alive. Leaving the comfort zone, we meet new people and live new experiences. Some of these experiences will not be positive but others will become a driving force that gives us new energy. Thus we're learning to enjoy more life. 19．Exercises to get out of your comfort zone will allow you to expand your growth zone without experiencing toomuch anxiety. 20．That's in the growth zone, and you can reach the best of ourselves, learn new things.完形填空After watching my son Todd run in a race, I made my usual comment, "Todd, I could walk faster than those women run."

2022年河南省洛阳市湖北路小学高一英语上学期期末试题含解析一、选择题1. --- Where did you meet him while in Nanjing?---It was in the hotel ___________ I stayed.A.thatB. whichC. whenD. where参考答案：D试题分析：本题考查定语从句及强调句。

句中where引导定语从句，先行词为the hotel，在从句中作地点状语；that引导强调句，强调地点状语。

句意：——你在哪里遇到他的？——我在他所在的宾馆遇到他的。

其实that引出的部分省略，故选D【学法指导】强调句型的用法1.在英语中，我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语)。

在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。

如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who或that来连接都可以。

如果是其它成分，则一律用that 来连接。

It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭；It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。

2.被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。

lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.3.区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多，容易混淆。

如果去掉it is/was ...that句子仍然通顺成立，则为强调句型，不成立不通顺，则为定语从句。

It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study.句子通顺，意思完整，那么，这就是一个强调句型。

2020年洛阳市第一高级中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AHottest Travel DestinationsSometimes figuring out the best place to go can be difficult. Here are some hottest travel destinations that offer some of the most beautiful, artistic, and fashionable places on the globe.Ibiza, SpainWhile Ibiza is knownas a party city, there is far more to do in this historic town than simply drink and dance under the stars. Built mainly in the second century, it’s a world heritage site with architecture dating back to as early as the 7th century. Don’t miss Charo Ruiz, Ibiza’s most famous fashion brand. Plus, the Ibiza Fashion Festival takes place every June.Tangier, MoroccoKnown as the “door to Africa”, Tangier has a rich and complex history dating back thirty centuries. It has all the beauty of the natural world. After spending a morning sunbathing by the Mediterranean Sea, get in some amazing shopping and discover great deals on everything. Before you head home, stop off in Marakesh to visit some of the top Moroccan designers.Havana, CubaStepping onto the streets of Havana feels like stepping back in time. For a day of sightseeing, check out the remaining architecture of Old Havana, which was built ten centuries ago. You can easily do it with one of the area’s many walking tours. Or visit the Museum of Rum for a taste of the island’s most popular wine. You might come across a clothing shop offering some classic finds!Melbourne AustraliaBuilt largely during the 1850s gold rush, Melbourne remains as alive as ever. Make sure to check out the hottest Australian brands. Moreover, visit the Block Arcade in Collins Street to see some of the 19th century architectural details the world has to offer. And, if you want to catch the largest consumer fashion festival in the world, grab tickets for the yearly Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival.1.What can visitors do in both Ibiza and Havana?A.Taste local wine.B.Visit modern Museums.C.Appreciate ancient buildings.D.Enjoy parties under the stars.2.To attend the globally largest consumer fashion festival, you have to go to ________.A.SpainB.MoroccoC.Havana.D.Australia3.Which of the following cities is the oldest?A.Ibiza.B.Tangier.C.Havana.D.Melbourne.BThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappearif the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.4. According to the passage, what kind of species faces the biggest drop in population?A. Land and ocean species.B. Animals with backbones.C. Freshwater species inLatin America.D. Freshwater species in the tropics.5. All the following can contribute to the loss of world’s wildlife population EXCEPT ________.A. turning wildlife habitats into agriculture land.B. making sustainable use of wildlife.C. hunting illegally.D. emitting CO2 gases and pouring nitrogen.6. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Conserving.B. Conveying.C. Exchanging.D. Transforming.7. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Marco is much concerned about human’s current behaviors towards wildlife.B. what the planet provides now can satisfy human’s sustainable development.C. more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost.D. if humans reduce the effects on the climate, the whole species will not disappear.CEven as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains abit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters inMountain View,California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype(雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, includingDelphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.8.

A new program, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food cooked over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat is an important part of people’s nightlife.Shown on June 20, the program has had more than 25 million clicks on the video site . To find the most popular barbecue stalls (摊位), the production team travelled to more than 500 locations in 30 cities across the country. Some viewers compare Chinese Barbecue to Midnight Diner, a Japanese TV program telling stories from late night informal Japanese bars.“I’m happy to hear this comparison because Midnight Diner is a good program, and we share the same topic― night food,” Chinese Barbecue’s director Chen Yingjie said. “However, they are quite different.” He said that Midnight Diner focused more on food itself, though there was someconversation while people were eating. However, the night food scene of Chinese people means joy and a more lively atmosphere. People eating these barbecue snacks develop a feeling of connection, which can be a cure for loneliness.The barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from home-made food by mothers as that is a symbol of family and kinship. The barbecue is where you go to become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather polite, the barbecue lets people relax with old friends and new friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.The world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward the barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth produced by fire. “What we should do is to present the Chinese barbecue just the way it is because with its special ingredients(食材)，ways of cooking and more importantly, the special environment and people, the world will recognize it and might fall in love with it just as we do.” said Chen.12. What do we know about Chinese Barbecue?A. It has been becoming very popular on the Internet.B. It is thought highly of by most of the foreign tourists.C. It mainly talks about the most famous Chinese food.D. It shows the color1 ful nightlife in large cities ofChina.13. In which way was Chinese Barbecue different from Midnight Diner?A. It showed more kinds of food.B. It focused more on the diners.C. It showed the eating habits.D. It was less popular than Midnight Diner.14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The importance of the barbecue to family.B. The influence of the barbecue on people’s manners.C. The influence of the barbecue on people’s lifestyle.D. The role of the barbecue in people’s relationship.15. Why did Chen Yingjie choose the barbecue as the topic of the series?A. To show the feature of Chinese food.B. To research a special way of cooking.C. To help the world understandChina.D. To introduce the history of the barbecue.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 2019, she was awarded the Friendship Medal for her work at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, where she taught for seven decades, and where she developed China’s first English-language textbooks. Meeting students of Isabel in China is not a difficult task, since she trained and inspired millions of them to learn languages, including English.In 2018, I had lunch with Isabel in Beijing. Over 100 years old, Isabel nonetheless had a bright light in her eyes. I worried that I would trouble her with my earnest questions. It was enough to enjoy the company of people like Isabel-sensitive and energetic people who believe that the world can be made a better place.Curiosity about China’s rural development governed Isabel’s life. In 1939, she went to Bashinao in Sichuan Province to study village life and to teach literacy (识字). From 1931 to 1945, she worked in Xinglongchang to build an understanding of the rural struggles. In 1981, after she retired from teaching, Isabel returned to Xinglongchang, and in 2013, she published two books based on her research and studies there, showing what rural society was like during wartime. When I asked her about her important work on China’s agricultural transformation, she said, “One of the reasons to do these studies and to write these books was that they might inspire other peoples, in countries like China, such as India, to work along these lines.”Isabel showed great concern for China’s rural development and devoted herself to English teaching with numerous students. She died peacefully with her faith in the international Communist cause, and her love for the Communist. Party of China and the Chinese people.4. Why was Isabel awarded the Friendship Medal?A．She taught English in China for years.B．She got on well with the Chinese people.C．She loved the Communist Party of China.D．She believed in the international Communist cause.5. Which can be used to summarize Isabel’s personal quality according to paragraph 2?A．Independent. B．Honest. C．Dynamic. D．Generous.6. What did Isabel do from 1981 to 2013?A．She taught English. B．She taught literacy.C．She worked in India. D．She did her research.7. Which typical writing features can you identify in the passage?A．Quotes and photos are included.B．The text provides details on how to teach.C．The beginning tells about Isabel’s background.D．The introduction follows the order of importance.Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver, I would think about the potential joys of a physically closer network. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone who could join me at a moment’s notice? How good would it be to have more non-scheduled hangs instead of ones that had to be planned weeks in advance?This doesn’t have to be just a dream. Although technology is making it easier to maintain long-distance connections, nothing can replace seeing friends in person. Researchers have found that happiness spreads “like an emotional contagion (传染)”, especially among those who live close together.Friends who live in the same city could decide to move within walking distance of one another —the same neighborhood, block, or even apartment building. Doing so would likely involve a lot of effort, but the resulting community could pay emotional dividends for years. Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.Moving close to your friends requires some masterminding. Cities can make doing so easier by ending single-family zoning codes and encouraging a variety of housing types in neighborhoods. But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own. Sam Unger, 32, a food scientist and a friend of mine, has created a chosen family like this in Montreal, where about 15 of her friends live within walking distance of one another. When someone moves away, they try to transfer (移交) their lease (租约) to other friends. And when pals based elsewhere in the city are looking to move, Unger will try selling them on the positives of her neighborhood and sometimes even look for housing for them. “It’s funny,” she told me. “The other day, I bought a fire extinguisher, and she’s like, ‘Oh, well, I have one. You could just call me if you had a fire, and I’d be right over with it.’”8. What kind of lifestyle does the author prefer?A．Alone. B．Modern. C．Scheduled D．Free.9. What does the unde rlined word “dividends” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Needs. B．Benefits. C．States D．Effects.10. Why does the author mention Sam Unger?A．To tell Sam Unger has a talent in business.B．To prove people can move closer on their own.C．To show how important the official policies are.D．To suggest how one can get on well with others.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A．Live Closer to Your FriendsB．The Internet Brings People CloserC．A Way to Maintain RelationshipsD．Technology Harms FriendshipsIn Sweden, many teachers have been putting emphasis (强调) on printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice, and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to experts questioning whether Sweden’s comprehensive (全面的) digitalised approach to education had led to a fall in basic skills. Sweden’s minister for schools, Lotta Edholm, is one of the biggest critics (批评者) of the comprehensive acceptance of technology. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” he said, “Physical books are important for student learning.”Although Sweden’s students score above the European average for reading ability, an international assessment of fourth-grade reading levels, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), showed a drop among Sweden’s children between 2016 and 2021. In 2021, Swedish fourth graders averaged 544 points, a drop from the 555 average in 2016.This may suggest a growing number of immigrant (移民) students who don’t speak Swedish as their first language, but overuse of screens during school lessons may cause youngsters to fall behind in subjects, education experts say.The rapid adoption (采用) of digital learning tools also has drawn concern from UNESCO. In a report published in August, UNESCO issued a call for proper use of technology in education. The report calls countries to speed up Internet connections at schools, but at the same time warns that technology in education should be used in a way that never takes the place of in-person, teacher-led instruction.In the Swedish capital, Stockholm, Liveon Palmer, a third grader at Djurgardsskolan elementary school, agreed with the idea of spending more school hours offline. “I lik e writing more in school, like on paper, because it just feels better,” he said.12. According to many teachers in Sweden, how should technology be used?A．It should be used less in education.B．Digital devices should be better used.C．Teaching equipment should be updated or replaced.D．More importance of it should be attached to education.13. How is Sweden’s students’ reading level?A．It’s higher than in the past.B．It’s above the world average.C．It tends to fall in recent years.D．It scores the highest in Europe.14. What does UNESCO call on people to do?A．Avoid online safety risks.B．Improve school networking.C．Focus on face-to-face communication.D．Carry on teacher-centered instruction.15. What’s Sweden’s pupils’ view on online learning?A．They demand to spend more time offline independently.B．They would use physical books rather than digital tools.C．They would like to study offline when they are at home.D．They prefer to stay offline to maintain healthy relationships.If you can’t get your hands off your cell-phone, you have unknowingly become a slave to this device. Being addicted to a cellphone can be potentially harmful. Here are some reasons why you should use your cellphone less.16 Very often you forget the world outside your cellphone. Just leave the phone at home, take a walk, and get to know what you really want in life. Discover what sparks your interest and pursue it with all your heart.You should focus more on personal interactions in real life. Can you hug your dad and feel his strength through the phone? 17 These are small gestures that play a big role in life. Cellphones just take these precious things away from you.Your grades will go up. Leave your phone behind when going to school. Once you get home, don’t lie on the bed and text your friends. 18 Your grades will improve.You need to give your mind a break. Constantly chatting on the phone puts too much pressure on your brain, which does great harm to both your physical and mental health. 19You need to keep away from anxiety. Research has shown that people who use cellphones all day long are more anxious and restless. They seem to look for recognition and acceptance through the device. 20 Therefore, keep the phone away to keep anxiety at bay.“Dad,” I say, “let’s take a trip. Fly and meet me!”My father had just retired. He was _________ in his job, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.

He wants me to _________, but I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me and we meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What’s our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still don’t have a _________?”An hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), “_________,” he says, “How was this done?”The guide told us Gutzon Borglum _________14 years to the sculpture (雕像) and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask _________, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”No directions, no _________. I used to hear those words in my father’s __________. Now I hear them in my __________.My father says, “I never __________ much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could __________ me, he gave.”That last __________ — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me. I realize —maybe a __________ job won’t be as dull as I feared.I tell my father I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.21.A．interested B．engaged C．renowned D．concerned22.A．bravely B．anxiously C．aimlessly D．curiously23.A．images B．stories C．words D．stamps24.A．settle down B．pick up C．carry on D．makepreparations25.A．belief B．watch C．destination D．ticket26.A．Promising B．Creative C．Optional D．Unbelievable 27.A．imagined B．lasted C．devoted D．traveled28.A．myself B．Dad C．my son D．the guide29.A．personality B．ambition C．identity D．creativity30.A．work B．place C．duty D．voice31.A．location B．view C．own D．attitude32.A．hugged B．confirmed C．loved D．spoke33.A．send B．give C．buy D．tell34.A．sentence B．fight C．attempt D．chance35.A．regular B．part-time C．full-time D．busy阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
