21、   It was a fine day. Jeffrey Del Monte was driving With his friend late Friday afternoon along the beach near Ramp 49 in Friso when they heard the screams of children. They surveyed the water trying to locate the screams and， two young girls were spotted apparently struggling while being swept out in a rip current（激流）.

Del Monte then swam out into the ocean and helped one of the girls who were caught in the rip current, passing her to his friend for the lengthy swim back to shore. He then went back to search for the second girl and found her in great pain before he swam back to shore, bringing the child to the beach from nearly 100 yards out.

After both girls were safe on the beach, Del Monte and his friend attended to them until Dare County Emergency Medical Services and a Cape Hatteras National Seashore Ranger arrived on the scene. The children's parents also arrived and expressed their thanks to Del Monte and his friend.

“Jeffrey Del Monte's heroic, selfless and quick actions were key to saving these two girls from a very dangerous situation,"  National Parks of Eastern North Carolina Superintendent David Hallac said in a statement. "His courage and expertise allowed him to perform this successful ocean rescue. "

Park officials said the incident was a reminder of how quickly ocean conditions could change, even on what appeared to be a perfect clay.

“A perfect clay on the beach doesn't always mean that it's a perfect day in the ocean, so it is important that all visitors check the beach forecast for danger and rip currents before heading to the beach and always use something that floats when in the water. If individuals do find themselves caught in rip currents, please don't swim against the currents, instead swimming out of the currents and then to shore," David Hallac said.

【1】Why did Del Monte hand the first rescued girl to his friend?

A．To go to seek for the other struggling girl.

B．To give his friend a chance to be praised.

C．To relieve his pain caused by the current.

D．To experience the lengthy swim himself.

【2】What did Del Monte and his friend do after they saved the girls?

A．They took them to hospital quickly.

B．They looked after them on the beach.

C．They drove them back to their parents.

D．They blamed them for taking the risks.

【3】What is David Hallac's  attitude towards Del Monte?

A．Worried,

B．Envious.

C．Appreciative.

D．Grateful.

【4】What suggestion does David Hallac offer to visitors?

A．Going swimming with others.

B．Avoiding floating in the water.

C．Swimming against the currents.

D．Preparing well for beach trips.

22、Global Sea Mineral Resources (GSR) is one of several companies that hope to begin mining the seabed on an industrial scale in the coming years, perhaps as early as 2024. Some think of the seabed as a sustainable source of the metals needed to produce batteries for electric vehicles or smartphones. Meanwhile, scientists are trying to figure out just how much ecological damage deep-sea mining would do.

The short answer is a lot, according to some European scientists who’ve been monitoring GSR’s efforts and reported initial results recently at a virtual meeting. But it is too soon to tell how much of the damage would be permanent or whether it should be considered excessive (过度的).

Each mining operation like GSR’s in the eastern Pacific would remove the “biologically active” surface layer from about 200 to 300 square kilometers (77 to 166 square miles) of seafloor each year, said Matthias Haeckel, a marine biochemist at GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany.“If mining takes place, it should be done without loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions,“ said Ann Vanreusel, a marine biologist at Ghent University in Belgium.

That’s a hard standard to define, however, let alone enforce (实施)，because so little is known about deep-sea ecology. On two expeditions to the Pacific region targeted by GSR and other companies, the researchers identified thousands of species-70 to 90 percent of which were new to science.

“That in itself is a great example to show that, ’Hey, we do not have a good understanding of how this ecosystem operates’, ”says Diva Amon, a marine biologist and National Geographic explorer. In a review published this month in Marine Policy, Amon and her colleagues argued that at least a decade should be spent filling the gaps in scientific understanding before commercial deep-sea mining could begin.

【1】Why does the seabed attract Global Sea Mineral Resources?

A．It has biodiversity.

B．It is abundant in metals for industry.

C．It is biologically active.

D．It contains sustainable batteries for vehicles.

【2】Which of the following is the possible reason why scientists are concerned about deep-sea mining?

A．They find its damage is ever-lasting.

B．They don’t know whether it will do ecological damage.

C．They have difficulty in accurately judging the degree of its damage to ecology.

D．They think it’s hard for mining companies to make and carry out a related standard.

【3】What’s the writer’s attitude toward deep-sea mining?

A．Optimistic.

B．Cautious.

C．Objective.

D．Pessimistic.

23、

【1】Which of the four festivals has the longest history?

A.New Year's Day Parade. B.Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.

C.London Marathon. D.Wimbledon.

【2】London Marathon is different from the other three in that______.

A.it has the purpose of donating money to other events

B.it attracts many more fans from around the world

C.it is the only festival accompanied by live band

D.it has the function of raising money

24、Science shows that stretching isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. 【1】. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?

⚫ You could feel sick

You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. 【2】, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”

“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. 【3】. ”

⚫ Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore

When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory response in the form of lactic acid, which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid? 【4】. Stretching helps your distribute oxygen       throughout your body and muscles, which, according the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid. ”

⚫ 【5】

Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.

A．You’ll be at risk of injury

B．You guessed it: Stretching

C．While it’s great to get that blood flowing

D．You have to improve your flexibility by stretching

E．If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day

F．A cool­down after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode

G．In fact, the true purpose of stretching is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle

25、It’s a moving story. A primary school teacher in Kentucky went above and beyond to _________ that a special student was included during a fun class field trip.

This year, Neighbors’ family learned from the school that the class would be _________ the Ohio State Park, which was obviously inaccessible. So the family started to plan a (n) _________ trip to cheer her up. Fortunately, Jim Freeman, who teaches the class next door to Neighbors’ classroom, _________ and volunteered to carry her around the park using a special backpack.

Freeman’s _________ brought Shelly King, Neighbors’ mother, to tears. “ It is said that Freeman carried our daughter on his back all the way to explore the state park. It _________ my heart,” said Shelly. “He was so _________ that he strived (努力) to make sure that Neighbors was included and not __________.” So Shelly went to social media to __________ Freeman. So far, the post has been __________ thousands of times. “This is just one of the physical acts that we do daily in school.

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。

Apollo was born in Burkina Faso, a country in Africa. It actually means “The Land of Honest People”. He has always valued the virtue of honesty and he brought it with him when he opened a restaurant in the United Kingdom three years ago. He believes that there are honest people everywhere.

On a regular weekend, customers were pouring in by the thousands, and service was going smoothly. Midway through that busy weekend, three guys entered through the restaurant’s doors evidently looking for a seat and some food. It’s possible that they arrived from out of town. There was a difference in their accents at the very least.

“Can we be served quickly? We have to catch the train,” said one of them to a waiter.

It didn’t take long for them to be served by the waiter. They enjoyed every bite. After the quick but delightful meal, the three friends were ready to pay the bill for their supper. The entire cost of the food was £35. As the waiter approached their table, they gave their credit cards over. They were caught by surprise, however, when the server told them they could only pay in cash. After that, the waiter moved to another table to take orders.

When the waiter came back to collect their cash payment again, he found the three guys had gone missing without paying for their food. As a result, the waiter had no choice but to call Apollo, who was on holiday with his family.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
