A

Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.

The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.

“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. I take extra time to do everything—walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”

This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium（领奖台）at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.

And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit. He will turn his attention back to the World Cup circuit.

21. What do we know about Clarey as a boy?

A. He was gifted in snow sports.              B. He preferred skiing to other sports.

C. He got an early start on his future career.     D. He seemed to mature later than his peers.

22. What was Clarey’s achievement at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games?

A. He won the championship in Alpine skiing.

B. He competed in Alpine skiing for the first time.

C. He won his first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.

D. He was the first Frenchmen to medal in Alpine skiing.

23. What does Clarey now think of his decision at age 35?

A. It was rewarding.    B. It was too costly.    C. It was a joke.    D. It was a coincidence.

24. What can we learn from Clarey’s story?

A. Actions speak louder than words.           B. Ups and downs make one strong.

C. The early bird catches the worm.            D. Determination is the key to success.

B

Exploring unmapped territory on the moon could soon be as easy as slipping on a backpack. NASÁ researchers and their partners have developed a high-tech pack to aid explorers in the most remote wilderness imaginable: the airless wastes at the South Pole of the Moon

The pack, dubbed the Kinematic Navigation and Cartography Knapsack (KNaCK), is a remote-sensing mapping system. Shaped like a hiker’s backpack, it makes use of an innovative type of lidar（激光雷达）called frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar to provide Doppler velocity and range for millions of measurement points per second. These measurement points instantly create a real-time navigation system, delivering to the explorer a 3D high-resolution map of the surrounding area.

“As human beings, we tend to locate ourselves based on landmarks—a specific building, a bunch of trees. Those things don’t exist on the Moon. With KNaCK continuously showing in real time how far they’ve gone and how far is left to go to reach their destination, explorers can cross the surface boldly without having to worry about their safety. They can even mark specific sites where they found some unique mineral or rock formation, so others can easily return for further study,” said Dr. MichaelZanetti, who leads the KNaCK project at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

That’s vital for astronauts on a clock, their exploration limited by the oxygen supply in their suits. KNaCK’s ultra-high-resolution precision—an order of magnitude greater than conventional lunar topography map（地形图）and elevation models makes it a vital resource for conducting science and mission operations 238,900 miles away from mission control, Zanetti said.

Currently, the backpack prototype（原型）weighs about 40 pounds. When it comes to the work to be done next, Zanetti said, Taking advantage of the latest advancements in lidar technology from Aeva, we will make our next-generation device about the size of a soda can, and harden the sensitive electronics against the punishing effects of microgravity and solar radiation.” He looks forward to mounting it on a rover（探测器）or on the side of an astronaut’s helmet, which should leave plenty of room in future lunar mountaineers’ all-purpose backpacks.

25. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. The working principle of KNaCK.        B. The problems with the FMCW lidar.

C. The possibility of exploring the moon.     D. Explorers’ expectations for the mapping system.

26. The significance of explorers’ marking specific sites lies in ________.

A. setting a good example to others            B. providing convenience for others

C. warning others of possible dangers        D. avoiding getting lost in strange places

27. What will the KNaCK team do next?

A. Produce all-purpose backpacks.          B. Reduce the size of the backpack.

C. Seek help from the government.          D. Make the hardware more sensitive.

28. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The achievements of moon exploration.     B. The challenges faced by moon explorers.

C. A new device for future moon explorers.     D. A new way to conduct research on the moon.

C

Over the past few decades, East Asia has seen a surprising rise in the rate of short-sightedness. And a growing pile of evidence suggests that the main underlying reason for this is education—specifically, the fact that children spend large parts of the day in comparatively dimly（昏暗地）lit classrooms.

For most people, short-sightedness is not a pleasant thing. Glasses and contact lenses are an expensive, lifelong struggle. In parts of rural China, where some families cannot afford either, children struggle in the very schools that are causing the problem. Governments in Asia are increasingly worried about the public-health implications of entire generations growing up short-sighted. Those in other parts of the world should start worrying, too.

The evidence suggests that regular exposure to bright daylight is vital in properly controlling the growth of children’s eyes. Too little light leads to short-sighted eyes. Researchers think that this explains why rates are so high in Asia, where a strong cultural emphasis on the value of education leads to long school days and, often, private tutoring in the afternoon and evening. That leaves little time for sunshine. Western children, whose parents are increasingly worried about a competitive job market, are beginning to go the same way.

Special eyedrops（眼药水）, as well as clever glasses and contact lenses, may be able to slow the progression of short-sightedness once it has started. But prevention is better than mitigation（缓解）, and the science suggests a cheap, straightforward measure. A series of encouraging trials shows that giving schoolchildren—and especially those in primary education—more time outside can cut the number of students who go on to develop short-sightedness. However, it seems that the greatest resistance to this attempt comes from parents. They may worry that other parents might not follow suit, leaving their children at a disadvantage in the classroom.

Governments are well placed to solve such collective-action problems, while reassuring anxious parents that a bit less classroom time is unlikely to be catastrophic. After all, countries such as Finland and Sweden do well in global education rankings with a less intense approach to education. Giving more outdoor time to young children would still leave room for them to cram for exams in their teenage years. And longer breaks in the playground may also make a dent in other rich-world problems such as childhood obesity. Far-sighted governments should send the kids outdoors.

29. What does the author blame education for?

A. A high rate of eyesight problems.            B. Unfair competition in the rich world.

C. Great pressure on both students and parents.    D. Students’ being unaware of their eyesight problems.

30. What can we learn about western children?

A. They can easily find a job in the future.        B. They spend much time outdoors every day.

C. They are also likely to be pushed by parents.    D. They are more optimistic than Asian children.

31. What does the author think plays a key role in solving the eyesight problem?

A. The frequency of exams.              B. The call of the government.

C. The cooperation between parents.       D. The parents’ attitudes towards stress.

32. What does the underlined part “make a dent in” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Take account of                 B. Make a plan for

C. Make a comparison between       D. Reduce the number of

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Humans like exploring the world. Throughout history, we have gone to far-off places to see how people in other areas live. That urge hasn’t disappeared, despite increasing awareness of the carbon footprint associated with travel. Nor should it—there are great benefits from seeing the broader world.    33   . Consider the following tips to reduce your influence when traveling.

   34  

Not only does it save money, but travelers will avoid lines and crowds. And the damage to the sites is less. The climate benefit is real, too. Traveling during this time means better options for direct flights, which are more fuel-efficient. Planes burn up to 25% of their fuel supply when taking off and climbing, so fewer stopovers（中途停留）mean less fuel used.

*Use public transport.

Instead of hiring a private vehicle, you can consider using public means of transport. Carrying lots of people, they cut down the carbon emissions that would otherwise be given out by many private vehicles.    35  

*Pack a “Capsule Travel Bag”.

The heavier a plane is, the more fuel it requires to fly. Therefore, packing little is one simple way to reduce your impact.    36    Finnair, Finland’s biggest airline, has calculated that if each passenger were to cut down the weight of their luggage by 5 kilograms, the total reduction could save almost 17000 tons of CO2 emissions.

*Bring your waste-free tools.

A zero-waste routine or creating as little waste as possible is also important when you are away. Too often, though, people use travel as an excuse to let their waste-reduction efforts fail.    37    In order to reduce your impact on the environment, you need to carry reusable items. For instance, carry reusable shopping bags or reusable water bottles.

A. Travel during the off-season.

B. Explore the less well-known destinations.

C. In case you’re doubtful, there are related statistics to prove it.

D. That is unfair to the locals of whatever place you are visiting.

E. The pressure on the environment could then be reduced greatly.

F. The popularity of traveling by air makes it hard to cut down the carbon footprint.

G. Fortunately, some aspects of travel can be done in ways gentler to the planet.

Growing up near Cue Phuong National Park in Vietnam’s Red River Delta, Thai Van Nguyen had been accustomed to seeing dead pangolins.    40   , everything changed when he witnessed his neighbor killing a baby pangolin. It was then that his    41    to save pangolins was ignited（点燃）. And he knew the biggest    42    would be shifting the mindset and habits of the Vietnamese people.

To change the fate of the pangolins, Nguyen set out to    43    the public on the importance of pangolin conservation.

In 2018, Nguyen    47    his work, creating Vietnam’s first-ever anti-poaching unit, which has destroyed 9701 animal traps, and arrested 558 people for poaching—leading to a significant    48    in illegal activities in Vietnam.

Nguyen devotes his life to    49    pangolins, bringing global awareness of pangolins’    50   . “It’s my greatest joy that I can really make a    51   ,” he said. And it is this devotion that    52    won him the Goldman Environmental Prize for grassroots activism in 2021.

第二节（满分25分）

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。

When I was in Grade10, my family had a tough time. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were second-hand, we thought they were beautiful.

Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.

New Year was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for New Year.

Unknown to Mum, I had been shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of gloves. I knew exactly which gloves I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I hurried to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies. I knew then that we would have no delicious food for New Year, and I felt sad.

As I continued walking, I began to feel bewildered. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of gloves while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1

The bus drove off without me.

When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor.

The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half-mile down to my house. With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door.

When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears, I whispered, “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened?” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanation as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It was an unforgettable New Year.
