21、When I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.

The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.

I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, "Come on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to take part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors—a man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games.

【1】We know from the passage that the swimmer ________.

A. was not professional

B. had two competitors

C. had a wrong start

D. didn't try his best

【2】What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?

A. The swimmer lost his spirit.

B. The swimmer didn't finish his match.

C. The audience was touched deeply by the swimmer.

D. The crowd supported the swimmer from the beginning.

【3】The author's attitude towards the swimmer is that of ________.

A. tolerance

B. disappointment

C. carelessness

D. admiration

【4】Which one is the best title of the story?

A. Successful Swimmers

B. Go for it

C. What an Event

D. Awkward Strokes

23、   Smart phones, tablets, fitness trackers, headphones and most of the electronic devices we use today are made of metal, plastic and glass. But electronics don’t have to be. Sala de Medeiros and her colleagues found a way to turn an ordinary piece of paper into a simple electronic keypad. Many teams around the world are working on paper-based electronics. But this new device is different from any other device. It’s the first to power itself and also resist water and dust. The user’s touch gives it all the power it needs to run.

No single moment inspired her paper keypad. Instead, she focused on devices other engineers have been working on. Then she discovered that high cost was a problem with some flexible electronics. So she decided to work with low-cost materials.

Teflon(聚四氟乙烯) is a chemical coating that keeps food from sticking to pots and pans. Similar com-pounds(复合物) can also make paper waterproof. So she started testing the chemical but the one that was sup-posed to do the best job didn’t work at all. After some research, Sala de Medeiros found out that this chemical reacts with air. She had to buy special equipment that forbade any air getting in the way. Now, the chemical works as planned. Then the team placed a stencil(钢板) with the shape of a circuit(电路) onto the back of the paper and sprayed on several layers of materials. Finally, the team flipped over the paper and printed a keypad of numbers on the other side. They also added a tiny Bluetooth chip, which let their paper device talk to a computer. The source of electricity comes from the tap of a finger. When you’re typing we can create the energy by touching or rubbing.

The electronic keypad is regular paper most people could afford but wouldn’t easily get wet or dirty. It also should fit in your pocket.

【1】Which of the following is the unique feature of the new device?

A.It’s the first device made of paper. B.It has little electricity or metal.

C.It gets powered through touch. D.It has no trouble cleaning itself.

【2】Why did Teflon fail to work at first?

A.It was exposed to the air. B.It was of low quality.

C.It damaged the equipment. D.It kept food stuck to pots.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The process of creating the device. B.The significance of the research.

C.The application of the device. D.The way to develop Teflon.

【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined words “flipped over” in Para. 3?

A.Cleaned up. B.Cut up. C.Held onto. D.Turned over.

24、People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. 【1】 It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.

Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. 【2】

In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising.

【3】 It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. 【4】

Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. 【5】 You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.

A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.

B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.

C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.

D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.

E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.

F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have.

G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.
