There are four youngest athletes who won the gold medal in the Olympics. Their achievements are recorded in the history of professional sports.

Marjorie Gestring

Marjorie Gestring was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won a gold medal for her county. After 1936, the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War. Following the conclusion of the war, she could not qualify for the 1948 London Olympics. Marjorie Gestring would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the World War II.

Klaus Zerta

Klaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. He cooperated with his teammates Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg to win the gold medal. Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics. Moreover, he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win the gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics,

Fu Mingxia

Chinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions. She won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Her last Olympic gold medal came during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which emphasized the environmental protection and the reduction in waste. With the fourth gold medal, she joined Americans Pat McCormick and Greg Louganis as the world's only quadruple (四次的) Olympic diving champions.

Nadia Comaneci

Nadia Comaneci is a five time Olympic gold medalist. She is a retired gymnast and one of the youngest athletes to win the gold medal. In 1976, she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10. She was merely 14 years old when she secured the gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interestingly, back then, a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to16.

Lately, I’ve been traveling around the world. No longer am I waking up far away from my home, tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before. Things are different now, and each day my travels begin like this: 1 sit down at my dining table, usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake, and I listen to the radio.

The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York, and most often it comes from a free-to-use website called Radio Garden. Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura, Burundi; in Dibrugarh, India; or on the edge of the South Pacific. Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is, if it sends out a signal online, it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.

During the pandemic, Radio Garden, which is now available as an app, at times attracted as many as 15 million monthly listeners. “We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,” said Jonathan Puckey, the site’s founder.

Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, where designers and computer programmers overlaid (覆盖) station streams with their geographical locations on a 3-D map of the world. As a result, there is more than one way to transmit. Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips - - romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.

Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe? For me, thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores, it’s all about personal history: I was born and raised in New York, but my family is from everywhere—Latin America, the Middle East, and places in between. My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures. Now, because of their wanderings, pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden, my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!

4. What does the first paragraph focus on?

A. The joys of radio travel.    B. A scene of traveling by radio.

C. A popular way of traveling.   D. The difference in this travel.

5. What do we know about Radio Garden?

A. It is affordable.      B. It is widely accepted.

C. It is easy to maintain.     D. It is based in New York.

6. What does the author think is the greatest advantage of Radio Garden?

A. Simplifying travel schedules.   B. Making tourism popular again.

C. Improving the traveling experience.  D. Promoting the virtual reality travel.

7. What does the last paragraph imply?

A. Radio Garden is expanding quickly.

B. Radio Garden increases global connections.

C. Radio Garden benefits from global awareness.

D. Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.

People do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.

There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.

It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.

The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.

The results. from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,

8. Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?

A. Running.  B. Swimming.  C. Football.  D. Gymnastics.

9. What can we learn from the text?

A. Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.

B. Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.

C. Runners have great power of concentration.

D. Chess players like challenging other people.

10. Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4?

A. To make a contrast.    B. To draw a comparison.

C. To place an emphasis.    D. To give an example.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. How can you choose suitable sports?

B. What kind of sports can benefit you most?

C. How can sports keep you mentally healthy?

D. What does your choice of sports tell about you?

D

Consumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.

In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival (竞争对手) Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy (凌乱的).

We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.

To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed (超过) their expectations.

In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance (熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.

When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.

So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly (随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.

12. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?

A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.

B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.

C. A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.

D. Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.

13. Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?

A. To further explain the result of the first experiment.

B. To compare receivers’ expectations for the same gifs.

C. To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.

D. To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’ expectations.

14. What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?

A. The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,

B. The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.

C. The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.

D. The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.

15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A. To give examples.    B. To make suggestions.

C. To make comparisons.   D. To present an argument.

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。

On a recent Saturday evening, my wife, my son Jack and I were having dinner when we heard the sounds of a group of kids talking in the street, outside our home. Then out of the blue came two loud thuds (闷响) above our bedroom window, followed by the noise of laughter and lite kids running away down our street.

I turned on the external lights and rushed outside, unsure of what had caused the two thuds or what damage I could expect to see. The silence of the night was broken by the distant laughter of the neighborhood kids. At that moment I wanted to run after them. However, running barefoot on the road in the dark wasn’t a wise thing.

The light above our garage helped me to identify just what had happened. Our home had been the victim of “an egg bombing”! Faced with the need to clean up this sticky mess, I was annoyed with the kids’ bad tricks. I decided to remove the mess the next morning.

The next morning, I walked out to check the stains left by the two eggs, followed by little Jack with a book in his hand. “Where are the egg stains?” he asked. I soon found them and pointed to them. Two patches (小块) of yellowish egg stains were on the wall above a large and wide metal awning (雨棚). Right below the awning was our front bedroom window. Our metal awning had a strong ability to protect this window from rain and other heavy things that could possibly fall down.

After I pointed to the egg stains, Jack angrily said, “Bad kids.” Then, as usual, he walked to the bench below the front bedroom window and sat down to read his storybook. Jack liked reading there each morning. While Jack was reading, I carried a mop and placed a ladder on the front wall beside the bedroom window. I was ready to wash off the dry egg stains. I knew the task was challenging. My annoyance with the bad kids reached the level of the night before. Angrily, I climbed the ladder. Minutes later, I cleaned up the first egg stain.

Dear Mr. Richard Sears,

I am writing to invite you to give us a lecture for the Chinese Traditional Culture Week to be held in my school next month.

As the founder of the website called Chinese Etymology, you are known as “Uncle Hanzi”. You have researched into how Chinese characters developed in different periods and established a database. Because of your hard work, Chinese culture is better known in the world now. So, will you give us an one-hour lecture, sharing your research and personal story?

We are looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)

One possible version:

Just then, I was surprised to find one piece of glass in the window just below the awning badly cracked. “How dangerous it is! If it fell, it would.” I dared not continue to imagine what would happen next, noticing the piece of glass which was on the edge of dropping. It would fell on the very place where Jack sat down to read books every morning. A flood of fear welled up in me at the thought of this terrible scene. At that moment, the yellowish egg strains were more a warning from the kids than a bad trick when I saw the cracked glass again.

Feeling a sense of luck instead of anger, I began handling the cracked glass. After Jack was called away from the place in case of danger, I climbed the ladder slowly, approached gradually and touched the glass gently. It was no wonder that the piece fell on the bench where Jack sat just now. Jack widened his mouth at the sight of the fallen glass pieces. Seeming to be lost in thought for a moment, then Jack said to me and my wife. “I am so lucky to have those ‘bad’ kids”. “We might take a positive view of ‘bad things’ in life”, said I.
