21、Sixty-six-year-old Atsuko Oyama shares a goal held by many people a half-century younger. She wants to get 100 kills in the first-person shooter videogame “Apex Legends”.

True, she’s a little rusty (生疏的), having last fought against digital enemies in a “Space Invaders” shooting game sometime in the latter part of the 20th century. But after joining Japan’s first senior esports team in September, Ms. Oyama achieved 10 kills in a month and feels her enthusiasm growing. “Watching others play. I thought I couldn’t do it,” said the retired receptionist. “But I didn’t like to be left behind, so I decided to come here at least twice, and now I am into it.”

Esports promoters who have seen Japan fall behind powerhouses in videogame competitions think the senior market might be the way to catch up. And if the over-65 set feels a little more energized after shooting a few rival enemies, so much the better.

Japan is the world’s oldest nation, but its efforts to boost the size of its younger population have been mostly unsuccessful. It is, however, at the forefront of initiatives to keep old people thinking younger.

Ms. Oyama, whose player name is Mama, tried out for the team known as the Matagi Snipers after her daughter saw an ad recruiting players. The Matagi Snipers, named for a traditional group of bear hunters in northern Japan, have been practicing since September at their home base in northern Akita county. With an average age of 68, the 14-person team hopes eventually to compete in professional tournaments in first-person shooter titles such as “Apex Legends” and “Fortnite”.

Coach “Lemon” motivates his team by telling them age is an advantage. He thought, there is a huge difference in social experience between people who have lived only 20 years versus 60 years. While younger players tend to be more violent, older players can communicate better and lean on teamwork.

【1】Which of the following best describes Atsuko Oyama?

A．Ambitious and creative.

B．Diligent and enthusiastic.

C．Intelligent and responsible.

D．Independent and cooperative.

【2】Why do the seniors play videogames according to the passage?

A．The junior population has been decreasing recently.

B．The seniors are likely to make a greater achievement.

C．The seniors may make up for the loss of Esports market.

D．The youngsters are not keen on it because of heavy burden.

【3】What mainly contributes to the seniors’ success in the game?

A．Efficient cooperation.

B．Sufficient leisure time.

C．Highly focused attention.

D．Previous gaming experience.

【4】What is author’s attitude toward the senior videogaming?

A．Supportive.

B．Negative.

C．Indifferent (不关心的).

D．Objective.

22、   Most airlines go all out to ensure their passengers have the best possible flight experience. Now, Europe's low-budget airline, easyJet, wants to extend the positive experience beyond the plane ride with “Sneakairs” 一smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map.

To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide，all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartphone app. A built-in GPS will determine the wearer’s starting location while the Google Maps navigation (导航）tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate(振动）. For example, if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe. Should the user miss the turn, the smart shoes will both vibrate at the same time, reminding him/her to change course.

Visitors that wander off the suggested path or decide to take a break for a cup of coffee or a meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route. Once the desired destination is reached, Sneakairs will vibrate three times to inform the user of the arrival and then go back to being ordinary shoes—until their navigation services are needed again!

Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. However, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjustments. Among the challenges that need to be addressed is the smart shoe’s three-hour battery life, which is hardly enough for a tourist to catch all the delights a new city or town has to offer!

【1】What can we learn about Sneakairs in the text?

A. Its size. B. Its price.

C. Its material. D. Its function,

【2】What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?

A. How Sneakairs works.

B. How visitors choose routes.

C. How users avoid getting lost.

D. What users should pay attention to.

【3】What might easyJet do to improve its smart shoes?

A. Bring down their cost.

B. Add more functions.

C. Develop more types.

D. Make the battery last longer.

【4】Where does this text probably come from?

A. A commercial ad. B. A science report.

C. A tourist map. D. An airline guide.

23、I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

【1】At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.

A. finish his homework on time   B. keep silent in the room

C. pay more attention to his study   D. get right answers

【2】Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.

A. the old form of education   B. the importance of parents

C. the relationship between kids and their parents   D. the good grades of some kids

【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?

A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.

B. Parents should love and accept their kids.

C. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.

D. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Study Hard and You’ll Be Successful

B. Be Friendly to Your Children

C. Parents’ Help with Their Children’s Study

D. Children’s Success in Their Own Style

24、A group of scientists are hurrying to document ancient ruins on the US territory of Puero Rico. The scientists are working as fast as they can before rising sea levels destroy a large part of the island’s history.

Scientists hope to use the 3-D images they have taken to help identify which sites are most at-risk to natural disasters and other dangers. Falko Kuester, a scientist, said, “ A big part of what we’ re working on is to make the invisible visible and make sure it stays in our memory. ”

Scientists first explored a large stretch of land along Puerto Rico’s north coast. That area includes a ceremonial center used by the Taino Indians about 2,000 years ago. Isabel Rivera, an environmental archaeologist, said the scientists found what appears to be a large settlement just east of the ceremonial site.

The Tainos once lived on many islands in the Caribbean Sea. But after the arrival of Christopher Columbus and other Europeans, the indigenous ( native ) people were nearly all killed. Rivera said, “ Up to today, there is still a lot we don’t know about indigenous culture along our coasts. It’s not in our history books. We want to recover that information before it disappears. ”

Some scientists say that warmer temperatures in the Caribbean increase the number and strength of storms. Scientists noted that large amounts of water caused by Hurricane Maria washed away part of the area they are studying.

Eric Lo, an engineer, flew to Puerto Rico in August 2017 to launch the project one month before Maria struck the island. Lo was surprised at what he saw when he returned to the US territory months later. He said, “ Pieces of land where I had stood and flown the drone didn’t exist anymore. They were underwater. ”

Scientists are now trying to find out how badly the hurricane and loss of land have affected the archaeological site they are studying. Scientists are using 3-D models based on drone images to measure areas and explore other details.

【1】What can scientists most probably see by applying the 3-D images?

A．The sites most likely to disappear quickly.

B．The remaining territory of Puero Rico.

C．The sites staying in memory.

D．The history destroyed by rising sea levels.

【2】What do we know about the Tainos from the text?

A．They were all killed by Christopher Columbus.

B．They settled in the center of Puero Rico.

C．They took advantage of a ceremonial site.

D．They didn’t experience hurricanes.

【3】What can we infer from Eric’s words?

A．Archaeological digging caused the loss of land.

B．His engineering work is valueless.

C．Storms made severe damage to the sites.

D．Global warming is the cause to all the losses.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．How to win over nature

B．Secrets of a heritage site

C．Impacts of climate change

D．A race to document heritage

Before Cerveny's coach could ______ him, Brandon Schutt was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first ______ to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he ______ to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was ______ .

At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for ______ , the two completed the final 75 meters of the ______ together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, ______ his opponent a faster time.
