21、It’s been happening lately. I go out on a hike or trail running (越野跑), and before I even see a hiker coming in the other direction, I hear him/her. No, not a loud conversation, but the tiny but annoying sound of someone’s phone playing music. Maybe the hiker feels lonely without a device playing sound, or maybe he/she is just uncomfortable listening to the sounds of nature. 【1】
My point is that it’ s rude to everyone else who’s in the woods with you that day, who might be out there to enjoy the quiet time away from the world. 【2】 However, many of us are there to get away from exactly what you’ re forcing us to listen to—the particular sounds of your humanity (人性).
Don’t get me wrong; actually I love music. I even occasionally listen to it when I run. But I don’t play it out loud. 【3】 In that way, I can enjoy whatever I am listening to without causing disturbance to someone else.
To be honest, that someone doesn’t say anything when you hike with speakers doesn’t mean that it’s not ruining their outdoor time. 【4】 Time out in nature can be a break from our noisy cities—but it’s not true if others are playing music out loud. So the better experience for us is no music at all so that we can take in the sounds of nature.
【5】 But part of being outside is respecting the environment you’re in and the people you’re sharing it with. If you want to run along to a soundtrack, please do. But remember to put your headphones on.
A．Instead, I listen on my headphones.
B．Each of us enjoys nature in our own way.
C．In other words, it’s louder than you think.
D．I’m not sure, and honestly, I don’t really care.
E．I often avoid playing music while hiking outside.
F．Maybe it is not why you are out on the trails that day.
G．You should remember that noisy music is disturbance, too.
22、Chris Rishworth is a travelling cyclist who would take photos along the journey. He regards it as killing three birds with one stone. Besides exercising, he can also improve his photography skills and raise money for the children in need through holding a photography show. In the past five years, Chris has raised more than one million dollars and helped more than 30 orphans (孤儿) complete primary and secondary school education.
Chris’ photographs have a very wide range of aspects, including impressive natural sceneries, attractive local conditions and customs, and mysterious historic sites, etc， but he believes the most heart-shaking one is the photo of a baby wallaby (沙袋鼠）. It was on August 5th when Chris was on his way to ride through Magnetic Island. Chris saw a helpless baby rock wallaby trying to get into its dead mother s pouch (育儿袋）.The deep brake marks and pieces of glass indicated that the mother wallaby was killed by a car. The sight shook his heart so much that Chris was almost astonished for a while. After taking a photo of this heartbreaking moment, Chris placed the baby wallaby into the basket of his bike and took it to the local wildlife rescue shelter. The workers told Chris, “ It’s quite common to find baby wallabies attracted to their dead mothers — often due to the road kill on Magnetic Island. ” Hearing this, Chris decided to send the photo to related departments to promote further measures to avoid such things happening again.
Rock wallabies have had a tough history in their native country, Australia, as they struggle to fight against extreme weather and keep up with other competitors. The Australian government took a series of protective measures and fought against hunting activities effectively, which made the number of rock wallabies increase. But now, with the development of Magnetic Island, a lot of trucks and private cars flood in, which breaks the previous peace. Experts of the Wildlife Conservation Society ( WCS) warn that self-driving travelers and truck drivers should pay attention to the wild animals on the road or by the roadside while driving.
【1】How does Chris find his trip?
A．It brings him fortune.
B．Its influence is worldwide.
C．Its result is satisfactory.
D．It makes his dream come true.
【2】What made Chris realize the cause of the mother wallaby's death?
A．The heartbreaking photo.
B．The workers’ words.
C．His travel experience.
D．The signs of the scene.
【3】What may be the best title for the passage?
A．A Beautiful Australian Island Discovered by a Travelling Cyclist
B．A Heartbreaking Moment Photographed by a Travelling Cyclist
C．A Wonderful Photography Show Held by a Travelling Cyclist
D．A Badly Injured Baby Wallaby Saved by a Travelling Cyclist
23、Success and Risk in Extreme Sports
What is it that drives some to take extreme risks, while the rest of us hurry for the safety of the sidelines?
Lester Keller, sports-psychology expert, says that not everyone has the mental makeup to do well in extreme sports. He notes that most of us hit a natural ceiling that limits our appetite for extreme risk in tricky conditions. But others have a much higher tolerance for risk. Keller points to a top ski racer. He told Keller that “the high element of risk makes you feel alive, tests what you are made of and how far you can take yourself”. He said he would get nervous on some of the courses, but that this would just make him fight more.
Psychologists note that some people seem to have a strong desire for adrenaline (肾上腺素) rushes as a behavior seeking excited feelings. Like many extreme athletes, Emily Cook’s appetite for risk appeared at a young age. “I was a gymnast,” she said. “I was one of those kids who enjoyed and did well at anything where you were upside down.” As she started doing harder tricks, she was drawn to the challenge. “There are moments when you’re up there doing a new trick and it seems like an impossible thing. But overcoming that is just the coolest feeling in the world.”
Shane Murphy, sports professor, has worked with groups climbing Everest. “To me, that just seems like the height of risk,” he said. “But to them it was the next step in an activity that they’ve prepared for years.” Murphy said the view of extreme athletes is different from our own. “We look at a risky situation and know that if we were in that situation we would be out of control. But from the athletes’ view, they have a lot of control, and there are many things that they do to minimize risk.”
Another aspect of risk perception (认知) may be something referred to as “the flow”, a state in which many athletes become absorbed in the acts that focus the mind completely on the present. “Something that makes you try doing a tougher climb than usual, perhaps, is that your adrenaline flows and you become very concentrated on what you’re doing,” Murphy says. “After it’s over, there’s great excitement.”
People of different skill levels experience the flow at different times. Some may always be driven to adventures that others consider extreme. “I can enjoy hitting a tennis ball around, because that’s my skill level,” Murphy says. “But others might need the challenge of Olympic competition.”
【1】By using the term “natural ceiling” in Paragraph 2, Lester Keller points out that ______.
A．extreme athletes must learn special skills
B．extreme athletes have chances to take risks
C．many people don’t want to do extreme sports
D．many people can’t limit desire for extreme sports
【2】What does Shane Murphy think about the mountain climbers he mentions?
A．They put in lots of preparation for challenges.
B．They are more fortunate than other sportspeople.
C．They carry little risk when facing big challenges.
D．They have special reasons that others can’t easily understand.
【3】What main point is made in Paragraph 5?
A．Extreme athletes use techniques other people don’t use.
B．Non-athletes are probably wise not to try extreme sports.
C．Most people lack the focus required to take bigger risks.
D．A certain state of mind makes attempting an activity more likely.
【4】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A．risk-taking is something you either naturally do or avoid
B．those who take risks are more likely to be successful in life
C．extreme athletes are driven by a need to be better than others
D．taking part in extreme sports is not as difficult as people think
24、As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course. Alison Thompson, a full-time mum is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him,” says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers. He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too, but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her success too.
“The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.
【1】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Ambitious Parents B. Thompson’s Children
C. Special Gifts D. Different Lives
【2】What does paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support.
B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problems.
C. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks.
D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.

A. three B. four C. five D. six
【4】What can be known from the passage?
A. Emma has learned to take good care of herself.
B. Cameron showed his gift before primary school.
C. The children of the family are bright and gifted.
D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Surveys indicate that a third of Britons regularly eat on their own. OpenTable, an online restaurant booking app, found that solo dining in New York increased by 80% during the past 5 years. And in Japan, the world capital of solo dining, a trend for "low interaction dining11 has taken off. Restaurants are opening which facilitate the ultimate solo dining experience: passing bowls of noodles through black curtains into individual booths.
Is this a worrying trend? We think so. Research is revealing the negative impacts of eating alone, which has been found to be linked to a variety of mental and physical health conditions, from depression and diabetes to high blood pressure.
So it's cheering that hundreds of food sharing initiatives have sprung up around the world. There's London's Casserole Club, for example, whose volunteers share portions of home-cooked food with people in their area who aren't always able to cook for themselves, in which case they put an end to food waste. Or there is South Africa's Food Jams, social gatherings in which participants are paired up, preferably with strangers, and given a portion of the meal to prepare. Many participants interviewed mentioned that their loneliness was greatly relieved. Such initiatives offer lessons of all kinds to those thinking about how our food systems need to change. They also somewhat compensate for the undesirable outcomes sole eating brings.
So why do people stop eating together? There are a variety of reasons. Authors such as Michael Pollan argue that it is due to the fact that people attach less value to home-based labor, including cooking. The widening of the workforce, which brought many women out of the kitchen and into the workplace during the 20th century, also contributed. Meanwhile, the growth in insecure and inconsistent working patterns among a growing proportion of the population also discourages meals eaten communally.
