I know what courage looks like. I saw it on a flight I took six years ago, and only now can I speak of it without tears filling eyes at the memory.
Our flight left the Orlando Airport one Fray morning. But immediately upon take-off, it was clear that something was wrong. The aircraft was bumping(颠簸) up and down. All the experienced trellers, including me, looked around with knowing iles. If you fly much, you see these things and learn to act calmly about them. However, we d not remain calm for long.
Minutes after we were in the air, our plane began falling quickly. The pilot soon made a serious announcement. “We are hing some difficulties,” he sa. “Our indicators show that the control system has failed. We will be returning to the Orlando Airport. The flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing. Also, if you look out of the windows, you will see that we are dumping fuel from the airplane. We want to he as little on board as possible in the event of a rough touchdown.” In other words, we were about to crash. Many trellers looked visibly frightened now. No one faces death without fear, I thought.
Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still calm voice, a woman’s voice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. I had to find the source of this voice. All around, people cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this chaos, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her m-30s, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother’s words. The mother’s eye held the child so fixed that she seemed untouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.
Finally, I leaned over and by some miracle could hear this soft sure voice with the tone of comfort. Over and over again, the mother sa, “I love you so much. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you always.” Fortunately, our landing gear held at last and our touchdown was not a tragedy.
However, the voice I heard that day never faded. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like.
24. What does the author imply by saying “some trellers’ knowing iles” in Paragraph 2?
A. They were used to this kind of experience.
B. They were quite familiar with each other.
C. They were well-educated passengers.
D. They were pretending to be calm.
25. What happened shortly after take-off?
A. The plane met bad weather and had to return immediately.
B. The flight indicators showed the plane’s control system failed.
C. One of the passengers was badly ill and the plane had to turn back.
D. A flight attendant explained flight safety instructions to the passengers.
26. What does the underlined word “chaos” mean in the 4th paragraph??
A. a state of urgency. B. a state of danger.
C. a state of complete confusion and lack of order.
D. a state of calm.
27. What is the best title for the passage?

C. The wisdom of a pilot D. The danger of a journey
C.
D you know that concrete is the second most-consumed resource after water? Think of your home, parking lots, brges, or any other public buildings and you will find concrete. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in the concrete industry becoming one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.
Cement(水泥) has existed long before humans he and formed naturally 12 million years ago when limestone reacted with shale（页岩）. Around 6500 BCE, concrete was the key to the survival of the ancient Nabataeans in the harsh deserts of Syria and Jordan, who built structures that still stand today. Concrete also transformed Roman architecture with arches and designs, which would he been impossible to achieve with stone.
In 1756, the British engineer John eaton added pebbles(卵石) and powdered brick into cement to create the first modern concrete. Later in 1824, British scientist Joseph Aspdin invented a much stronger cement than ever before by burning ground limestone and clay together. This mixture is called Portland cement, a rece still in use today.
In 2016, 2.2 billion metric tons of CO₂ were emitted from cement production--much more than emissions from the airline industry and fairly close to emissions from the agricultural industry.
Green Cement is a form of cement produced through manufacturing processes that dramatically reduce carbon emissions. One way is to capture the greenhouse gases and pump them underground. Others are looking at entirely new ways of making cement. A company takes a page from the Romans and substitutes some of the cement with ash or clay. This process reduces CO₂, emissions by 40% while maintaining the strength of concrete.
With all the recent advancements in the green cement industry, the future looks bright as scientists continue to develop a stronger, cheaper, and carbon-negative alternative to conventional concrete.
28. Who first created the modern concrete?
A. The British. B. Syrians.
C. Romans. D. Nabataeans.
29. What is Green Cement?
A. Cement produced with least carbon missions.
B. Cement that can absorb carbon dioxe.
C. Cement mainly used in the green color.
D. Cement that can store the greenhouse gases.
30. What does the underlined phrase "takes a page from" mean?
A. deals with B. learns from
C. refers to D. appeals to
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. What is concrete used for? B. Why do we need Green Cement?
C. When was concrete made in history?
D. How can we replace traditional concrete?
D.
When was the last time you listened to someone? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? I once asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare.
Of course, technology plays a role. People find phone calls interrupting them, preferring text or wordless emoji. Beses, schools and colleges hardly offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. You can join clubs to perfect your public speaking, but who attempts to achieve excellence in listening? The loud unpleasant mixture of sounds of modern life also stops us from listening.
Generally, listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also includes paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say is related to you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone else is talking. Quite the site. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond—the degree to which you show the clear expression of another person’s thoughts and, in the process, he a clear mind of your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. They particate in exploring the topic. There are curious questions like “Wouldn’t you agree…?” or “Don’t you think…?” These questions he strong tendencies. They will greatly influence the other person to change his or her view. And you’d better stay away from some personal questions like “What do you do for a living?” or “What part of town do you live in?” Just try to find out what excites people. Ask about the last movie they saw or for the story behind a piece of jewelry they’re wearing. Also good are expansive questions, such as, “If you could spend a month, where would you go?” Research indicates that when people who don’t know each other well ask each other this type of question, they feel more connected than if they spend time together achieving a task.
Because our brain can think a lot faster than people can talk, be careful with the tendency to take mental se trs when you are listening. art people’s attention is easily taken away by their own runaway thoughts. They may also assume they already know what the other person is going to say.
The reward of good listening will certainly be more interesting conversations. Researchers he found that attentive listeners receive more information from speakers, even when they don’t ask any questions. The gentle voice of a mother and the critici of a boss both finally form and shape us. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
32. One of the factors that influence listening is that ______.
A. our confence in listening is decreasing
B. our speech creates a lot of noise around us
C. listening skills are seldom taught in school
D. texting causes a better effect than phone calls
33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Why the art of listening gets lost by itself.
B. Why effective methods are used in listening.
C. How people make themselves well understood.
D. How people can regain the lost art of listening.
34. According to the author, what should people do when they are listening?
A. o being absent-minded.
B. Come up with curious questions.
C. Focus on the speaker’s personal information.
D. Try to find common interests with the speaker.
35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Listening and speaking deserve equal attention.
B. Good listeners maximize the benefits for themselves.
C. Bad listening finally contributes to people’s failure.
D. Good listeners ask good questions.

Anyone watching the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China over the last few days will he seen lots and lots of snow ----– man-made snow. Since the area gets little natural snow, this is the first time the Winter Olympics is taking place on almost artificial snow.
This year’s Winter Olympics are being held in Beijing, China, and in two areas northwest of Beijing, Yangqing and Zhangjiakou. The areas get cold in the winter, but they don’t get a lot of snow. That’s because they’re not far from the Gobi Desert, and are generally very dry.
That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics there. China took water from a reservoir which helps supply Beijing’s drinking water and sent it to a nearby river. To carry the water to the mountains for making snow, the country ran miles and miles of pes. China says making the snow took about 49,000 gallons (185,500 liters) of water. Outse experts say it probably took a lot more water than that.
China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow. TechnoAlpin created artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics. For the snow in this year’s Olympics, TechnoAlpin la over 40 miles (64 kilometers) of pe and brought in hundreds of snow-making machines. Even with all of those machines, making the snow for this year’s Games took seven weeks.
It’s useful to be able to make snow when nature doesn’t prove enough. But artificial snow isn’t the same as natural snow, which has more air and less water. An athlete used to natural snow might he to adjust their style on man-made snow.Still, the machines that make artificial snow are quite advanced. They can make several different kinds of snow depending on what’s needed for each sport. For example, the snow they make for downhill skiing is different from the snow made for cross-country skiing.
A few athletes he complained about the snow at this year’s Olympics. Most others say it’s been just fine.
In recent years, it has become more and more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events. That’s true even in places that used to he a lot of snow naturally. Some artificial snow was used in the Winter Olympics in 2010 and 2014 because of warm weather. In the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, roughly 90% of the snow was man-made.
As the world warms because of climate change, problems like this are expected to become far more common. Michael Mayr, who leads TechnoAlpin in Asia, says, “You could not he winter sports now without man-made snow.”
12．Why does the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics use artificial snow?
A．To se energy. B．To keep athletes happy.
C．To prove enough snow. D．To protect the environment.
13．To create the snow, China first has to________.
A．built a reservoir B．lay miles of pes
C．find the source of water D．carry the water to the mountains
14．TechnoAlpin was chosen to create the snow for________.
A．the friendsh between China and TechnoAlpin B．the request of the Olympic Committee
C．the lack of snow making company D．TechnoAlpin’s rich experience
15．What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The reasons of climate change. B．Some examples of warm weather.
C．The necessity of using artificial snow. D．The expectations of artificial snow.

Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language. When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English，which can also sound unnatural.The good news is that thinking in English will bring you closer to fluency! 16
Think in single words
Charles Thomas has taught English to Union members, children and teenagers for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.
17
Think in sentences
For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, ''It' s such a beautiful day" and ''People are playing sports with their friends." 18
Think in conversation
This is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation. For example, let' s say the imaginary person asks you a question like, ''What d you think of the talk show last night?" 19 Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head. You can do this out loud or in silence.
20
''When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English, '' Thomas says.
A．Practice it daily.
B．Speak English with a native speaker.
C．How would you answer?
D．As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
E．Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.
F．It is not very difficult, but it does take conscious effort and practice.
G．Once this becomes easy, move on to more difficult sentences.
