26、Dancing is natural and almost any child can dance. However, why do so many people find it hard to dance when they reach their teens or adulthood? 【1】

Most people have heard the words “Dance like nobody is watching”.【2】 When we’re learning something new, we hate having an audience watching our silly mistakes. Actually, everyone else is too busy worrying about their own mistakes. Chances are that you’re not the only one struggling with the steps!

We all have patterns of muscle memory. Your body likes doing repetitive movements that it doesn’t have to think about. 【3】 Your brain may understand, but it can take a while to direct them to interpret these new and unfamiliar movements. Be patient with yourself and understand it’s the way your body works.

【4】 If you’ve never danced before, the complex rhythms and fast footwork of flamenco(弗拉门科舞) would be a big challenge as the first dance style. If you’re inflexible, I recommend doing some yoga first to make your body get used to the new demands of dance.

A lack of rhythm is the biggest obstacle of learning to dance. However, it can be overcome with enough practice. 【5】 Then start learning to dance when you begin to feel the beat. Dance can be a very rewarding and enjoyable hobby. Just be patient with yourself and learn to dance.

A．It’s human nature to dislike looking foolish.

B．Dance requires you to move your arms and legs.

C．You’ll be able to do them almost without thinking.

D．Try to master dance steps first if you have no sense of rhythm.

E．Learning a musical instrument is a good way to learn singing.

F．There are many things preventing people from learning dancing.

G．Another possibility is that you picked an improper style of dance.

27、   Sticking to a vegan diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in recent years, veganism (素食主义) has become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle trends in the world. According to HuffPost, more than 3 million people in the United States are vegans. In the UK, about 542,000 people have chosen veganism over the past decade.

What is driving this growth in veganism? One reason may be that people want to protect the environment. Producing meat and dairy products is known to be stressful for the environment. According to a 2013 study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, global meat manufacturing causes about 18 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is higher than all the world’s cars, trains and planes combined. According to BBC News, another reason is that many of today’s young people believe it’s wrong to kill animals for food.  Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said she chose to become vegan when she realized that eating animals is a choice people make, rather than something we must do to survive. “Becoming vegan was an ethical(伦理的) decision,” she told the Guardian.

For many people, veganism simply means eating no meat, cheese or eggs, but going animal-free also applies to fashion and manufacturing. For example, leather is used to make shoes and clothing. Every year more than a billion animals, from cows to horses to snakes, are killed to make leather products from their skins. Now, many brands are looking for other materials. The sports brand Puma, for example, has made shoes out of pineapple leaves. Tesla, the US car maker, is said to be removing animal-based leather from its seats. Earlier this year, US singer Lady Gaga created the vegan makeup brand Haus Laboratories. On the brand’s Instagram account, it says: “Cruelty-free and vegan, because we love animals and you.”  So, if you’re interested in protecting animals and saving the environment, you might want to give veganism a try.

【1】Which can be the reason for people being vegetarians according to the text?

A.They want to survive on earth.

B.They pursue fashion in the world.

C.They try to adopt a green lifestyle.

D.They worry about their own health.

【2】What can you infer from the last paragraph?

A.Going animal-free means letting go of the animals.

B.Veganism simply means boycotting goods from animal skins.

C.Lady Gaga created her makeup brand out of pineapple leaves.

D.Many brands are seeking substitutes for animal-based leather.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude to veganism?

A.Supportive. B.Ambiguous.

C.Skeptical. D.Prejudiced.

【4】From which part of a newspaper is the text probably taken?

A.Science. B.Fashion.

C.Entertainment. D.Life.

28、Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551-479B.C.), and Socrates (苏格拉底) (469-399 B.C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.

Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.

Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. But like Confucius, he also believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.

For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.

Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．Socrates and Confucius had much in common.

B．Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.

C．The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.

D．There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.

【2】Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ________.

A．all men were equal when they were born

B．the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class

C．the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom

【3】What made some people different from others according to Confucius?

A．Family.

B．Potential.

C．Knowledge.

D．Community.

【4】This passage is organized in the pattern of ________.

A．time and events

B．comparison and contrast

C．cause and effect

D．definition and classification

29、Nowadays, we are very worried about such COVID-19 variants as Delta and Omicron. To relieve our anxieties, we should have a look at our own cell and the original COVID-19 virus.

First of all, our cell isn’t stupid. If any virus wants to enter our cell, it must figure out a way for its spike (触手) to hold tightly to the spike on the cell’s surface. You can imagine this connecting as a secret handshake.

At the early stage, the COVID-19 virus figured out a way to connect to a specific spike on the surface of human cell, called ACE2. But the connecting wasn’t perfect. However, it was good enough to trick the ACE2 to let it in.

Once the virus was inside the cell, it kept copying itself in order to find more cells to infect. During this time, the immune (免疫) system started making antibodies to fight back. Some of those antibodies acted like little caps that stick to the ends of the virus’s spike. Once “capped”, the infection couldn’t move forward, and the body won!

But every time the virus copies itself inside a cell, it has the chance of changing its spikes slightly. Most of the variations are actually harmful to the virus. So these variants disappear. However, once the virus hits upon a set of variations that actually help the virus to connect more tightly to the cell or more quickly, a person’s cell gets infected more easily.

Then what about the antibodies? Aren’t they coming to save us again? Well, yes... and no.

Scientists found that a person who was infected with the earlier version of the virus may not be protected as well against these new variants. He still can be infected, again. However, the antibodies’ spikes come in different shapes, too. So even though some antibodies become less useful, others will get the job done—or at least, hold back the infection long enough so the body can make new antibodies that fit perfectly on the changed spike.

【1】What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The virus.

B．The cell.

C．The spike.

D．The connection.

【2】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A．How a virus enters the human cell.

B．How a virus copies itself inside a cell.

C．Why the immune system can fight back.

D．Why virus variants have different infection rates.

【3】What can be learned from the text?

A．COVID-19 variants will become more and more infectious.

B．It is unlikely for COVID-19 patients to get infected again.

C．Old antibodies might be less effective against new variants.

D．It is hopeless to get rid of the COVID-19 in the near future.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Worries About the COVID-19 Variants

B．A Simple Guide to COVID-19 Variants

C．The Danger of the Deadly COVID-19 Virus

D．Ways to Protect Ourselves From COVID-19 Virus

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

35、课文填空

The Sundance Film Festival 【1】 boycotts all Hollywood films, and we don’t foresee ever including them. The initial idea for our festival was 【2】 back in l978. when it was known as the Utah/US Film Festival. However, it was not well known until 1981. It was then that Robert Redford became its 【3】 and changed the focus to independent films, often made on very modest 【4】 It was given its new name-the Sundance Film Festival-in 1991. Redford has acted in and directed many big Hollywood films, but wanted to 【5】 the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system

36、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

38、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Last Saturday, when I was checking out at the grocery store, the woman in front of me caught my attention. She was in a red coat and had long hair. She was pushing one shopping cart with a basket in front. The basket held just a few items：corm, a lot of bread, some canned goods and a bunch of gorgeous colored roses. Several times when I was looking at her, I caught her looking at those lovely roses and smiling. I thought she must like roses very much. Therefore, I commented that those roses were, indeed, very lovely and beautiful. She said, “Roses are my favorite flowers, and I really do love them.”

Then, when I was waiting to bill my items, I heard the woman say to the cashier, “Em…, you can put those roses back, because I really can’t afford them now. I don’t have enough money.”

On hearing that, I asked her if she allowed me to buy them for her. She shook her head and said, “Why would you want to do that? You certainly don’t have to.” I replied that I just wanted to give her “a special thing” because she loved them so much. However, she still seemed hesitant. Then I told her that she would be doing me a great kindness if she allowed me to gift them to her. With tears in her eyes, she agreed and said, “I really do love them. Thank you very much.”

The moment I handed the cashier the money for the roses, I noticed he was a little teary too. As I said goodbye to him and began to walk away, I found the woman holding the roses and staring at me at the gate.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Nowadays, more and more employers and employees work online either time or part-time, and that number is continuously growing. It's believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is a waste of time and money. An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.

A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use. Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.

Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server （服务器）.Images from the presenter's desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time. And companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the offsite provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.

Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
