A blind skateboarder has proven that his lack of sight won’t stop him from living a normal life—and now he’s learned some of the most complicated tricks.
Dan Mancina, 34, from Michigan, the US, was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at 13, a rare genetic disease and it causes loss of vision. Around five years ago, Dan lost his vision completely and now is defined as a blind person—but refuses to let it hold him back. Dan said that he was discouraged by other people’s behaviors and was determined to prove people wrong, so he started skateboarding, practiced every day, and soon he was landing trick after trick.
Dan started performing tricks that some might not expect a blind person to be able to do— like throwing darts(飞镖)—but they would be wrong. He said he felt a need to prove himself to those who doubted his abilities. So Dan, who has been skateboarding since he was seven years old, recently posted a video of himself performing a trick on the Internet.
The experience reminded him of his love for the sport and inspired him to continue pursuing his passion, but now his methods are somewhat different. Before skating at a park, Dan uses a stick to measure the different ramps(斜坡)and corners, and get a feel for the area. He also uses a beeper box or a Bluetooth speaker to bounce the sounds off anything in the environment—such as a nearby road—warning him of any dangers in the area.
The skateboarder said, “I get a mental map of the area where I am and use every other sense I have. I’m always trying to progress and keep pushing myself further and further. I have certain goals that I want to achieve. One day I want to film full-length skateboard videos without any cuts. That’s really my goal. ”
24. What happened to Dan Mancina when he was thirteen?
A. He became completely blind. B. He was not allowed to skateboard.
C. He suffered from a severe eye disease. D. He got injured while skateboarding.
25. Why did Dan perform complicated tricks?
A. To show he could live a normal life.
B. To achieve his childhood dream.
C. To shoot a video about his success in life.
D. To become the focus of public attention.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Dan’s training field. B. Dan’s passion for sport.
C. Dan’s training equipment. D. Dan’s preparations for skateboarding.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. He who laughs last laughs best.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. All that ends well is well.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
C
By now, most of us have picked up at least one pandemic hobby. And there’s a seemingly common pandemic hobby trend: People who haven’t been able to go anywhere are making imaginary travel plans. Maybe you’re among those who have spent hours researching locations-even though you’re not actually planning to travel.
It turns out that you aren’t alone. People who seem to be sticking to public safety recommendations are still planning trips they don’t intend to book. And, when I suddenly found myself addicted to an imaginary girls’ trip to Joshua Tree, I wondered whether this was a healthy distraction.
“It's an escapist imagination,” said Regine Galanti, a psychologist, adding that there’s nothing wrong with escapism during a global pandemic.
On the one hand, distractions are often beneficial right now. We are a full year into living with COVID-19 as a pandemic, and that means you’ve probably had to navigate a range of emotions like discomfort, sadness, or even boredom. So any hobby that doesn’t harm anyone or endanger your well-being is probably a worthy attempt.
Even if vacation planning is your happy place, Dr. Galanti suggests you “actually think about what you’re trying to achieve.” Why? “Maybe what you’re saying is, I need a vacation from work,” Dr. Galanti explains. “Then take three days off even if you are not going anywhere.” When you figure out what you’re looking for, you might be able to find a small socially distanced adventure in your backyard or a quiet place. Vacation planning is a good way to spend some time, but there might be an even better way to get what you’re desiring.
Anyway, when uncertainty is all around us, creating things to look forward to isn’t a terrible idea. And when things are safer, you’ll have all your plans in place.
28. Why do people make imaginary travel plans during the pandemic?
A. To develop a new hobby.
B. To stay safe and sound.
C. To be distracted from reality.
D. To get ready for future travel.
29. Which of the following can replace the word “navigate” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Express. B. Balance. C. Adapt to. D. Deal with.
30. What is the writer’s attitude towards imaginary travel plans?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
31. Which section of the newspaper does the text probably come from?
A. Figures. B. Lifestyle.
C. Food and recipe. D. Science and technology.

D
It’s common that a Japanese-American bows on the phone—but only in Japanese. Behaviors and manners can become so routine that they appear even when there’s no need for them. Those who are bilingual(双语的) and bicultural know first-hand that how we behave can depend on what language we are speaking. Scientists have shown that who you are in the moment can depend on the language you are using at that time.
This is because when you have an experience, the language you are using becomes associated with it. For bilingual people, this means certain memories are more closely associated with one language than the other—a phenomenon called “language-dependent memory”. For example, a childhood memory is more likely to be remembered when the language spoken during that childhood event is spoken again.
How we think and feel can thus change depending on what language we are using. For example, people who are bilingual have an intensified stress response when listening to the words of scolding in a native language. This may be, in part, because our early memories associated with learning a “bad” word or being scolded by our parents happened in our native language.
Because emotions play a key role in how we make decisions, people are often more sensible when making choices in the less emotional foreign language. Language can even influence our decisions. When asked whether they would be willing to give one person’s life to save a group, people who speak more than one language are much more likely to say “yes” when answering in a foreign language. The unpleasant feelings that can prevent us from making difficult choices are reduced when we’re using a non-native language.
The language we speak has an influence on how we think, feel, and even behave. In a way, knowing different languages can provide people with a variety of views through which to see the world.
32. Why is the example of the Japanese-American mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To show Japanese people are polite.
B. To show bowing is good manners.
C. To show culture affects a person greatly.
D. To show language affects a person’s behavior.
33. What does the underlined word “intensified” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Obvious. B. Abnormal. C. Increased. D. Limited.
34. When can a person who is bilingual make a sensible decision?
A. When speaking a native language. B. When speaking a foreign language.
C. When making a random choice. D. When feeling very delighted.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. You are what you are speaking. B. Language determines your character.
C. A new language, a new self. D. More languages, better future.

While no one can avoid all stress, you can work to handle it in healthy ways that increase your potential to recover.
Eat and drink to improve your health. Some people try to reduce stress by drinking alcohol or eating too much. ___36___ But actually these may add to stress in the long run. Caffeine also can worsen the effects of stress. Consuming a healthy, balanced diet can help to prevent stress.
Exercise regularly. ___37___ Consider non-competitive aerobic (有氧的) exercise, strengthening with weights, or movement activities like yoga or Tai Chi, and set reasonable goals for yourself. Aerobic exercise has been shown to release endorphins—natural substances that help you feel better and maintain a positive attitude.
___38___ People who use nicotine often refer to it as a stress reliever. However, nicotine actually places more stress on the body by increasing physical arousal and reducing blood flow and breathing.
Reduce triggers (触发) of stress.

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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward（病房）with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
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。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.




When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.

   One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.

This may be, in part, because our early memories associated with learning a “bad” word or being scolded by our parents happened in our native language.“当听到用母语责骂的时候。在某种程度上，这可能是因为我们早期的记忆与学习“坏”单词或被父母责骂有关，这些记忆都是用母语进行的。”可知，说两种语言的人在听到用母语责骂的时候会有更强烈的压力反应。由此推知，划线词的意思是“增加”。故选C。

细节理解题。根据第四段中Because emotions play a key role in how we make decisions, people are often more sensible when making choices in the less emotional foreign language.“因为情绪在我们如何做决定中起着关键作用，人们在使用不那么情绪化的外语时通常会更理智。”由此可知，说外语的时候双语的人能做出明智的决定。故选B。

录音原文
(Text 1)
W: Tim, are you OK?
M: Yes, I’m fine! I’ve been playing table tennis with Andy. We were playing in the game room but then we moved the table out into the garden. I’ve just come to get some tap water!
(Text 2)
W: Do we have homework for Monday? I don’t have anything written down.
M: Nothing to read in the textbook, but we have to see a movie and write a paragraph about it.
(Text 3)
W: Could I have a few more minutes to finish?
M: I’m afraid not. It’s a timed test.
(Text 4)
W: Weren’t you supposed to be here an hour ago?
M: Sorry, but there was a long line of vehicles that couldn’t move for miles.
(Text 5)
M: When does the next bus leave for New York?
W: Buses leave for New York every half hour. You just missed the nine-thirty bus by ten minutes.

(Text 6)
W: What’s your favorite branch of science, Mike?
M: I have studied biology, chemistry and physics for seven years during secondary school. I decided that chemistry was my favorite and I wanted to do it to a higher level. I recently started my second year of university on a chemistry degree.
W: That’s cool. What are the career opportunities after graduating?
M:A college education seems to prepare most chemistry majors for research or lab work, but there are many paths that are open to a chemistry major. So I think my major leads to excellent career prospects.
(Text 7)
M: … and that’s how the sheep got into the house. Next up, it’s Allie with the weather.
W: Hello there.
M: Is it raining at the moment?
W: No, it’s stopped raining. This morning, there were light winds and a few showers and there’s still a lot of rain on the ground here. In fact, this afternoon, the showers should be replaced by sunshine. We’re expecting temperatures of about 20 or 21 degrees, so it will be quite warm for this time of year! And it means that there’ll be great weather for anyone planning a picnic this afternoon.
M: Thank you Allie, that’s great to hear!
(Text 8)
M: Mary, I’ve just finished my listening class. It was a bit difficult.
W: Why not enjoy some social activities? They give you a chance to practice your English. I’ve just picked up a schedule today.
M: Let’s have a look. What are they doing tonight?
W: They’ve got Singing with Guitar on Monday night. They teach you traditional British folk songs. It starts at 8 and lasts for two hours.
M: I’m not much of a singer. And I’ve got a lecture early tomorrow morning. A BBC journalist is going to talk about his experiences. Look, there’s International Evening on Wednesday in the school hall.
W: Yeah, students from all over the world will sing international songs. Would you like to go and see it?
M: Yes. Another thing I want to do this weekend is go to Stratford-on-Avon. You have to sign up at the student services office in advance. I’ve got time right now. So I think I’ll go ahead and sign my name.
(Text 9)
W: Henry, I need your advice on my job application letter.
M: OK. Let me see … Well, in Britain, a photo is not expected. It’s unnecessary to include your hobbies as well, because they have nothing to do with the job you’re applying for. I can’t see here that you’ve got a driving license.
W: I didn’t mention it because almost everyone here my age has one. Do I need to put it on my letter?
M: Yes. And you’re fluent in Chinese, right?
W: Yes. I studied in Nanjing for almost two years as an exchange student. My spoken Chinese is pretty good. I know about 2,000 Chinese characters. I picked up some French while I was teaching Japanese in Paris, but I’m hardly fluent.
M: So let’s include three languages as your skills. Your educational background in Japan is fine, and so is being a teacher in Paris. Why didn’t you mention that you worked for your uncle before?
W: I only worked for a month when his office assistant was away. I did photocopying and typing mostly. But I’m not very good at typing. I was too ashamed to include it. Besides, what would happen if anyone gave me a typing test?
（Text 10)
I live in a small town. Three years ago, my friends and I decided to convince our local community of the need for a proper park. We soon formed an action group consisting of students, teachers, parents and others — all led by local restaurant owner Martin Ashton. The next thing the action group had to do was to start raising money. We persuaded our school to organize a concert and all the ticket money went towards the park fund. Apart from this, we did everything we could think of to raise money — I took away the rubbish and others organized sales of second-hand books and stuff like that. Six months later, we only had £185, 000. But our target budget was £200,000. In the meantime, John Richardson was helping out with the planning stage of the project. He works as an architect in London and has got close links with colleagues in the United States. They have a company called Xcite, who has won awards for their park design. So the action group held a community meeting. Almost ninety-eight percent said yes to Xcite. Now we have this fantastic new park.
