21、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.

22、Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design. Later he decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall. Today, the tops of many other buildings also look like parks. In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof. New York City has an unusual example farm for hydroponics. The farm is on a boat called the Science Barge. Rainwater and river water are used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The farm shows the possibilities for designing rooftop systems.

Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. They can extend the life of a roof. And they can reduce water running off into streets and storming water systems.

Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above 27℃. So temperatures might not be a problem for growing. But rooftop gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof. This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water.

Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce a building's air conditioning costs by about one­fifth compared to black­top roofs.  But they also reported that not all green roofs perform equally well. They found that designs differ in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture rainwater. The researchers put experimental roofs on top of metal insulated (隔热的) boxes, to recreate green roof conditions. The study compared products from six companies to help businesses understand how to improve their designs. Each rooftop had sixteen different kinds of plants native to Texas. The researchers say the presence of native plants likely helped all the green roofs capture water better compared to sedums. Sedums are plants that need little water and often are used on green roofs. The native plants could take in more water and release more of it to the atmosphere.

【1】The author gave Paragraph 1 to ________.

A. tell us what is green roof design

B. tell us Germany is the country that leads or guides the green roof design

C. introduce some famous hotels in the world

D. lead to the topic of the passage

【2】The advantages of green roofs are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ________.

A. changing the local weather

B. prolonging the roof's life

C. keeping the house cool

D. reducing the house's air conditioning costs

【3】According to the passage, which conclusion is WRONG?

A. Sometimes green roofs may break down the house.

B. Not all the green roofs can reduce the building's air conditioning costs equally.

C. Different designs of green roofs have different effects on buildings.

D. Sedums are a kind of plants native to Texas.

【4】The experiment is mentioned in the last paragraph ________.

A. to find out how many different plants in Texas

B. to show us how to design green roofs

C. to introduce a kind of roof made of metal

D. to provide proofs to improve the design of green roofs

23、C

Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health．

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later．

In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own．

Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25．They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues．

The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills．Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵）drinking, and applying for public housing．

“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release．

“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted．" The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预） at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills．

“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said．“But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life．"

【1】What has the 20-year study found?

A．Most kindergartners can solve problems alone．

B．Helpful children understand other's feeling better．

C．Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily．

D．Social skills play a key role in children's development．

【2】Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？

A．when the researchers began their study

B．how long it took to complete the study

C．how the researchers conducted the study

D．what factors were studied by the experts

【3】What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?

A．Teach them how to cooperate with others．

B．Teach them some basic living skills．

C．Tell them to keep off alcohol

D．Coach them in their lessons．

【4】The text makes very good sense to ____________．

A．teenagers

B．educators

C．doctors

D．general readers

24、   It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.

Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.

Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.

“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”

Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”

He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.

“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.

“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.

【1】How do the children feel when they see the donkey mobile Library ______.

A．Curious.

B．Surprised.

C．Interested.

D．Excited.

【2】We can conclude from the passage that ______.

A．Ethiopian children have no idea about their future.

B．Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences.

C．donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools.

D．most books in the donkey mobile library were brought in America.

【3】Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A．A news report.

B．a book review.

C．A historical story.

D．An advertisement.
