21、After winning the gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform diving competition in the Tokyo Olympics on Aug 5, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan has caught the attention of the nation. Not only because of her flawless performance, but also for the innocence she displayed while speaking with the media. Quan said her dream is to save enough money to treat her sick mother, buy snacks, and go to an entertainment park and a zoo.
Were it not for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, Quan would not have participated in the Games as she only joined the national team last year. Quan is the third child of her parents who live in a village in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province. The city of Zhanjiang has been a cradle of elite Chinese divers through the years, producing the likes of Lao Lishi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games, and He Chong, who ranked first at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
During a visit to Maihe Primary School, Chen Huaming, the diving coach at Zhanjiang Sports School, noticed Quan was more agile (敏捷的) and jumped much higher than other kids. After giving her a try on a diving board, he instantly knew he had discovered a true talent. Quan was not the only youngster to impress Chen, but he admitted she was the one that always practiced the hardest.
Now Quan has become a sporting sensation. Her previously quiet rural home has become a must-see place for not only locals, but also livestreaming hosts and business people, who come for various purposes, all of which are aimed at trying to capitalize on the national attention her success story has attracted.
These uninvited guests have seriously disturbed the Quan family's daily life, and their worldly-wise sophistication (精明) is in stark contrast with the innocence of Quan. The government is duty-bound to extend a helping hand to protect the family from being disturbed, so that the young diving genius can focus more on her training and studies.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.Quan didn’t join the national team until this year.
B.Quan, Lao Lishi and He Chong are all Olympic champions.
C.Quan’s parents have 3 children who live in a village in Zhanjiang.
D.Quan could have taken part in Tokyo’s Olympic Games if it had been held last year.
【2】Why do livestreaming hosts and business people visit Quan’s home?
A.Her quiet rural home has become a sporting sensation.
B.They want to extend a helping hand to her poor family.
C.It is a must-see tourist attraction in the city of Zhanjiang.
D.They want to take advantage of the national attention she received.
【3】The author thinks the government should ________.
A.help her poor family financially
B.send her abroad to study diving
C.help her family live a quiet life
D.focus more on her training and studies
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Quan?
A.Hardworking and innocent.
B.Honest and strong-willed.
C.Smart and reliable.
D.Easy-going and brave.
22、Good pronunciation is an important part of learning English. The way your speech sounds can have a big influence on whether or not people understand what you are saying and their impressions of you. The tricky thing about pronunciation is that it’s not just a question of getting knowledge, but a physical skill that you need to practise regularly. 【1】 However, there are some ways you can practice more effectively and improve your skills faster.
It’s often difficult to find pronunciation errors in your own speech. 【2】 If you can’t find your pronunciation problems, it’s difficult to correct them. Try recording your speech with your smart phone or PC and making a note of specific areas you need to improve on.
Moreover, many English learners think that speaking fluently means they need to speak fast. 【3】 Speaking too fast reinforces (加强) bad habits and makes the speaker sound nervous and indecisive (无决断力的). Speaking slowly will give you time to breathe properly and think about what you want to say next. Because it gives you time to think while you are speaking, you’ll feel more relaxed and be able to concentrate on making your English sound fantastic.
【4】 You’re teaching your mouth a new way to move and using different muscles. Focus on difficult sounds each day. Having trouble with “th”? Put your tongue between your teeth (don’t bite down) and blow air out of your mouth. Feel the air move over the top of your tongue. 【5】 Singing helps you relax and just get those words out, as well as helping your rhythm (节奏) and intonation (语调). Because you don’t need to concentrate on constructing sentences for yourself, you can concentrate on making your pronunciation sound great!
A.This is wrong.
B.Pronunciation matters.
C.Pronunciation is a physical skill.
D.There are no shortcuts to perfect pronunciation.
E.There is no doubt that all your efforts will pay off.
F.Another method worth a try is learning popular English songs.
G.That’s because you are concentrating on communicating rather than the sound you are making.
23、You know the feeling — you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts — the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).
“We are talking about an Internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”
Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on WeChat or Weibo, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” says Griffiths.
【1】Which of the following may Dr Kim Ki Joon agree with?
A.We waste too much time on phones.
B.Phones have become part of some users.
C.Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D.Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
【2】According to Griffiths, which of the following may be the reason of our getting nomophobia?
A.We worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
B.We fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
C.We are accustomed to having a phone on us
D.We need our phones to help us store information
【3】Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in paragraph 4?
A.Approved of.
B.Relied on.
C.Opposed to.
D.Determined by.
【4】Where can you probably find the above passage?
A.In a research report.
B.In a science textbook.
C.In a popular science magazine.
D.In a fashion brochure.
24、One thing that has always attracted us is the food taboos (禁忌). There is one that seems to be acknowledged in the West: the idea that seedless (无籽) fruits are dangerous.
For those unfamiliar with this belief, it seems to go like this. The basic function of fruit in nature is to spread the seeds of the plant to ensure the survival of the species. When fruits are seedless, however, it is meant to be a sign that they want to give up their basic function. According to more extreme views, these fruits not only have fewer vitamins and minerals, but also are actually harmful to humans.
In fact, from the view of science, seedless fruits are the result of a biological development. While it is true that this development can be the result of human actions, it also happens in nature all the time. Often, it is a combination of both.
What effect does the absence of seeds have on nutrition (营养)? Well, seeds do often contain nutrients like fibre, which can mean seed-containing fruits are a little bit higher in fibre. They can also contain potentially beneficial nutrients. This, however, will make a difference only when you eat up the seeds, bite them with your teeth and break the seeds in a digestible form.
Then there is the question of popularity. It doesn't matter how nutrient-packed a crop is if people are unwilling to eat it. While the nutritional difference between seeded and seedless is very small, we know that the sale of seedless fruits has greatly increased since seedless forms were introduced to the market. So when seen in this wider viewpoint, rather than being a loss for nutrition in our diets, seedless fruits have been a gain for us human beings.
【1】What do western people with extreme views believe?
A.Seedless fruits are the result of a biological process.
B.Seedless fruits could actually do harm to human beings.
C.Seedless fruits could have more vitamins and minerals.
D.Seedless fruits could spread seeds to ensure survival of the species.
【2】Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A.Seedless fruits existed due to human actions rather than nature.
B.Biting seeds of fruits can be helpful to your teeth more or less.
C.Seedless fruits have no difference from fruits with seeds in nutrition.
D.Many people choose seedless fruits after its presence at the market.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards seedless fruits?
A.Uninterested
B.Positive
C.Negative
D.Cautious
【4】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Well, Seed Or Seedless, That Is a Question
B.Yes, Fruits with Seeds Always Win Your Heart
C.No, There's Nothing Wrong with Seedless Fruits
D.Surprise! A New Study Supports Fruits without Seeds

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An Act of Neighborliness
The skies were dark. A strong wind was blowing hard, cutting my face like a sharp knife. Rain fell in big drops and thunder and lightning flashed across the skies. I shook with cold and fear as I walked home, through the streams of muddy water. Some people were rushing by, completely wet in the heavy rain.
Along the way, I saw some schoolchildren holding their heavy schoolbags tightly and rushing home, I also saw that some road repair work had been abandoned by workers. Obviously, the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm. There were few signs and it was hard to see what was on the road. There were pieces of wood and metal and it looked like a hole had been dug and hurriedly covered with boards.
I moved on but suddenly stopped as I heard some sounds. It sounded like children crying. I quickly turned back and went back to the place from where the sounds came. I was frightened! To my sadness, I found that a small child had fallen into the hole on the road. The boards had moved away with the force of the rushing water. I could hardly see the child as it was dark all around me. I told he that I was going to look for help. I knew the neighbors well, and they all shared a sense of neighborliness, willing to give a hand.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Actually, I was not sure of what to do or where to go but decided to go to the nearest house for help.
