Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who won men's singles Olympic gold medals in 2014 and 2018,said Tuesday he was retiring from competition.

He won the men's singles gold at the Sochi Games in 2014 and again at the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea in 2018,becoming the first men's skater to achieve consecutive（连续不断的）golds in the category since Dick Button in 1948 and 1952. At this year's Winter Games in Beijing, he attempted to become the first man to complete a quadruple axel-4 rotations（旋转） in the air-at the Olympics，a jump that he had previously come close to achieving in Japan. In Beijing, he came just short of completing the required rotations for the quadruple axel and fell on his rear. but he expressed satisfaction with his effort afterward and hinted he was ready to retire.

“In terms of how it feels for me, I don't imagine it being all that different.” he said. “Of course, I feel strongly that I'd like to achieve success with the quadruple axel.”

Beyond his jumping ability, Hanyu's gift for the dramatics and his gentle appearance made him popular among admirers. Some said he looked as if he had danced off the pages of a Japanese cartoon. They would throw Winnie the Pooh stuffed bears-reportedly his favorite cartoon character-on the ice after his performances. In China, crowds gathered outside the Beijing venue to express devotion to their favorite, and one Chinese follower on social media called Hanyu  “the most beautiful icy fairy in my heart”.

In recent years, Hanyu has been suffering from injuries. He said he had constantly thought about retiring from competition since the 2018 Winter Games. “If we're talking about when I considered turning professional. I was thinking about that at every single competition,” Hanyu said. He said he made the final decision after the Beijing Games as he was recovering from his ankle injury

Should you share goals or keep them private? You'll find conflicting answers if you turn to Google. Some say sharing goals cannot live up to one's expectations because you'll feel rewarded before actually doing anything to achieve them. The Arabs have for centuries voiced a similar message in the proverb “the more you surround your candle, the more it remains lit”. More  recently, the idea became widespread in 2010 with a TED talk titled “Keep your goals to yourself".

“In most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don't-as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value,” Howard Klein told Ohio State News. Klein and his colleagues conducted several studies on goal-sharing. In one, the results showed that working adults frequently do share goals and are more likely to be committed to achieving those goals when they're shared with people who are perceived to be of higher status.

A second study involved 171 undergraduate students who were asked to play a game. After the first round, the students were asked to play the game again, but this time they had to set a goal. The researchers separated the students into three groups. For one group, the students had to share their goals with a lab assistant who was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral-level student in the business school who was an expert on the topic. For another group, the lab assistant was a casually dressed man who identified himself as a student at a local community college. A third group wasn't asked to share their goals with anyone.

The results showed that people who shared their goals with the high-status person not only-showed higher commitment to achieving the goal, but also performed better in the game. Meanwhile, the two other groups showed similar commitment and performance. Klein said,  “You want to be dedicated and unwilling to give up on your goal, which is more likely when you share that goal with someone you look up to and -whose opinion you value and which might incentivize you to achieve your goals.”

28. What message does the Arab proverb express?

A.  Setting goals makes you more determined.

B. Sharing your goals with others gets benefits.

C.  Keeping your goals secret is the best policy.

D.  Publishing your goals makes you rewarded.

29. What can be inferred from Klein's two studies?

A.  How students consider the two lab assistants matters most.

B.  Adults are more likely to achieve their goals than students.

C. Adults are more committed when speaking out their goals.

D.  The experiment on the third group turned out fruitless.

30.What does the underlined word "incentivize" mean in the last paragraph

A. Assist.   B. Encourage.   C. Intend. D. Advise.

31.According to Klein, how can you be fully devoted to your goal?

A. By discussing it with your friends.

B. By sharing it with respected people.

C. By maintaining your performance.

D.  By questioning people of high status.

This week record-breaking temperatures of more than 40'C were forecast in Britain. Schools closed and hospitals cancelled routine appointments. The Royal Air Force had to rearrange flights from its biggest air base after the runway melted. In mainland Europe, things were bleaker still. After weeks of drought, a heatwave sparked wildfires in France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Parts of America are struggling through one of their hottest summers ever. And many places of eastern and southern China have seen unusually high temperatures in recent weeks.

Why are all of these places suffering extreme heat at the same time?  Climate change has made heatwaves more frequent. Very hot temperatures that were once rare occur more frequently and heatwaves that were once impossible come to pass. The temperatures in Britain this week fit into the second category(II),says Richard Betts, a climate researcher with the British Met Office. Similarly, modelling carried out by the World Weather Attribution group, a research coalition, found that last year's unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been "virtually impossible" without climate change. New records will be set as long as humans continue to burn fossil fuels and destroy carbon-storing ecosystems.

Whatever the cause, the consequences are disastrous. Heatwaves kill people and worsen existing health conditions. Heatwaves can cause crops to suffer, as happened this spring in India. In three northern states, yields probably fell by between 10%-35%. If several “breadbasket” arc as  are affected there will be worldwide shortages, pushing up prices. Other systems are at risk,  too. Heat can disrupt everything from manufacturing to transport. Last weak factories in Zhejiang province in China were forced to ration（定量供应）power to ensure enough supply for air-conditioners in nearby homes. Heatwaves often stretch energy grids（电网）to breaking point. In places where electricity is moved across borders, a stream of power from somewhere not affected can help stabilize the grid. But simultaneous（同时的）heatwaves make that complicated. In an interconnected world，regions rely on each other to cope with disaster. Which becomes much harder when the disasters arc happening in many places at once.

32.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.  Extreme heat breaks out across the globe.

B.  The new temperature record has been set in some areas.

C.  Natural disasters are increasing due to the extreme heat.

D. Many places arc actively fighting against extreme heat.

33. What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A. There used to be frequent heatwaves and high temperatures.

B. The British feel more comfortable when the temperature is II.

C. One of the critical factors in extreme heat is human activities.

D. It is impossible to experience extreme heat in Pacific Northwest.

34.What problem would heatwaves cause globally according to the last paragraph?

A. Low birth rate.

B .High crop price.

D. Global warming.

35. What does the underlined pronoun “that” refer to in the last paragraph?

A. Stretching energy grids.

B. Rationing power in factories.

C. Generating power.

D. Moving electricity across borders.

The Biggest Dog on the Mountain

We liked hiking together. Today, we were looking for a trail over Wallace Mountain.

"It's been over an hour,” said Jessc, my nineteen-year-old son. “Do you think the trail still exists?” We had explored several paths but with no luck. We pushed through weeds mid-calf high for us, but neck-high for our rusty-brown dog, Shadow. Once in a while, we would call Shadow back when she was attracted by the pleasant smell of flowers. No longer slim and bouncing with energy, Shadow was the size of a large house cat, and always content to curl up on the couch beside one of us.

Suddenly, we heard what sounded like many dogs barking in the distance, an unusual sound in the wilderness around us.  Curious，we climbed the ridge（山脉）， only to find what seemed  like  a dog factory. Small dogs, big dogs, brown dogs, and dogs I can’t even describe poured out. The hounds（猎狗）hit the ground，sniffing the air and turning to face us. Before long, they went down from their side of the mountain. Jesse shot an alarmed glance at me before turning to call in a firm voice, “Shadow, come here, stay.”

I patted my pockets， feeling for the pepper spray（防狼喷雾），so small it would never work against so many animals. I turned, surveying the nearby brush for a potential weapon. With the help of adrenaline（肾上腺素），I broke off two thick branches from a tree and rushed to Jesse's side, “Here  you are!” “OK,” he said, “Dad,  they are coming to us.” My-mouth went dry. I glanced over at Jesse, his lips pinched（夹紧）tight.

The pack emerged from the valley, marching straight toward us. The dogs in the lead were now close enough for us to see that most of them were three times larger than Shadow.  With deep growls（怒매声），they ran straight for us. Jesse swallowed hard and looked at me.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

书面表达：These days，our school has conducted a survey regarding the most frequently used mobile apps for senior high school students.Among the students participating in the survey，the ones who choose social apps account for 42%，while those who chose learning apps only account for 12%.）

As far as I'm concerned，it is a disturbing trend.For senior high school students，what matters most at present is study rather than social activities.Because of their lack of social experience，they are more easily cheated by others，causing too much harm to themselves and their families.

Therefore，it is necessary for us students to enhance self﹣discipline.In addition，parents and teachers should give us more guidance.

读后续写：Shadow's back fur rose.Down came the group of dogs towards us，roaring angrily.Just as one of them approached us，I raised the pepper spray and spray the liquid to it.Luckily it jumped aside.However，more dogs charged at me，which made the pepper spray useless. 【高分句型一】Just then，Jesse went up bravely and threw the thick branches around us，making it difficult for the dogs to move near.Meanwhile，Shadow shouted at the dogs aggressively in an attempt to scare them away.（作者和儿子怎么应对这群狗，还有Shadow的反应）

Surprisingly，the entire mass of dogs turned tail and fled.I was glad to see them disappear.I thanked Jesse for her bravery and I patted Shadow on his back.While he was bigger than those dogs，he was not afraid in  face of the mass of dogs.We continued to set off to search for our trail.This time，with Shadow leading the way，we would not get lost and soon we found the right trail. 【高分句型二】After the adventure，we returned home safe and sound thanks to my brave son and the biggest dog.（作者，儿子和狗安全回到家里，作者感谢他们）
