22、Travelling to watch their team play at the World Cup took a little longer than usual for two French fans. Mehdi Balamissa and Gabriel Martin decided the best way to travel from France to Qatar was on two wheels. The friends spent three months travelling 7,000 kilometers by bicycle to reach Qatar 2022 and watch their beloved France defend its title.
“It was a crazy idea, but we’re the kind of people that have big ideas and don’t want to have any regrets,” Balamissa said, as both spoke to CNN Sport a day after arriving in the country. “So, since we are both self-employed, we decided to block off three months of our time and come to Qatar.”
The pair started their mammoth (庞大的) journey at the Stade de France in Paris, home of the French national team, and finished at the stunning Lusail Stadium, the venue that would host the final at Qatar 2022. They would travel on average 115 kilometers per day, taking appropriate rest days when needed. They battled through the heat of the desert in Saudi Arabia as well as flooded woodland areas in Hungary as they made their winding way to Qatar, stopping off at campsites, lodges (乡间小舍) and hotels to sleep.
The idea came about after cycling from France to Italy to watch their country play in the UEFA Nations League last year and they wanted to test themselves with a much longer trip. They hoped their trip would promote the benefits of sustainable travel and said they planned to offer cycling workshops to children from disadvantaged backgrounds when they eventually arrived home.
The two cyclists encountered many problems along the way, including dozens of flat tires, but relied on their infectiously positive attitude to get them through. The pair laugh as they recall the time they had to travel 15 hours to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in order to find a bike repair shop before travelling 15 hours back to the exact point where they had stopped.
“We had many troubles, but we fixed them as we went,” Martin told CNN.
【1】Why did Balamissa and Martin go to Qatar?
A.To achieve their big ideas.
B.To set them apart from the other fans.
C.To close off three months for no regrets.
D.To watch their country defending its champion.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the two fans?
A.Their travelling plan.
B.Their severe challenges.
C.The schedule about their journey。
D.The scenery along their journey.
【3】What’s the purpose of the two fans, cycling trip?
A.To explore the secrets and laws of nature.
B.To raise people’s awareness of eco-tourism.
C.To benefit more from the cycling workshops.
D.To be involved in the UEFA Nations League.
【4】What can we learn from Balamissa and Martin’s story?
A.Attitude is everything.
B.Life lies in sports.
C.Life needs a slow pace.
D.Man should be at one with nature.
23、 Every day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?
Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn’t read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.
However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we’re not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.
While we’re letting go of things, let’s stop worrying about understanding everything. We can’t. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.
【1】Most museum goers ________.
A. enjoy reading notice boards B. understand the artworks well
C. lack professional art knowledge D. share common interest in artworks
【2】What can the spoilers in Para.2 possibly be ?
A. Story writers. B. Readers’ expectations.
C. Guiding experts. D. Plots given away in advance.
【3】What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?
A. Showing curiosity about the writers. B. Letting go of things.
C. Trying to understanding everything. D. Working out mysteries.
【4】What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?
A. We should find more fun from classics.
B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.
C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.
D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.
24、 You probably learned many things by watching how-to videos on YouTube, but have you ever thought of making your own ones? You do not need to show it to anyone or put it on the Internet. 【1】.
Recording yourself, whether on video or audio, is an effective method of self-study. 【2】 When you record yourself it helps you identify what you are good at in English and which areas need improvement. How-to videos give you the chance to do several things at once. You will talk about a subject you already enjoy while giving step-by-step instructions, which gives you a chance to use a few grammatical forms. 【3】.
Now, let’s go through the steps for preparing to make your video. First, choose a subject that will work well for a short video. Ideally, your subject will be something that is visually appealing and can be divided into steps. Is there a dish that you are great at making? Can you build or fix something? Do you have an artistic ability? 【4】Even something as simple as how to fold a fitted sheet can be a great subject.
【5】 Make a list of the steps you think are important in making or doing the thing you have chosen. You might not know the English words for some of the things you are describing. Find and practice saying them.
The last step is to record your video. A great way to introduce it is to say your name and then say what you are going to show.
A.Any of these can be the subject of your video.
B.Then, it’s time to prepare by gathering information.
C.How do videos show people how to do or make something?
D.We can learn to do something with the help of an Internet search.
E.This is especially true if you cannot find someone to practice speaking with.
F.Instead, the goal is to use the video to observe your own English speaking skills.
G.You will also get the chance to learn and use words related to your chosen subject.
