Eileen Gu got into extreme sports because of an overprotective mother.The older Gu hated seeing her daughter rush down California's Tahoe ski slopes （斜坡），so she enrolled the 8-year-old in a free-skiing school,not knowing exactly what it involved.However,she was confident that anything would be safer than racing.Little did she know that she would one day watch her child perform death-defying flips,spins and jumps instead.And she never thought her daughter could be one of the sport's top stars,with golds at X Games.
"I've probably been an adrenaline （肾上腺素）addict from day one, " Eileen Gu said.In February,that adrenaline took her all the way to the Winter Olympics in Beijing.It's where her mom was born and a place she visited regularly during childhood.These are Gu's first Games.She is just 18 years old.
In China,she is nicknamed "Snow Princess".She is also academically gifted,graduating from high school a year early despite her punishing training schedule,and scoring 1，580 on her SAT and getting accepted into Stanford for 2022.
It's a rapid rise that she hopes will inspire others.A speech,which she made to her seventh-grade class,urged her peers to "show the boys that girls are just as powerful as they are".Naturally,you don't soar to such heights without getting hurt.After cracking a finger and tearing a ligament （韧带） in her thumb,she was expected to miss last year's world championships in Aspen.Gu certainly walks the talk：She instead chose to compete without ski poles and took home two gold medals and a bronze.
"Honestly,I'm a little nervous about getting the poles back,because I've gotten used to skiing without them, " she said after the event.
4. What caused Eileen Gu to be interested in extreme sports at first？ ______

Lime has launched its latest Gen4 e-bike,featuring a series of upgrades,among which an interchangeable battery is the most characteristic,in an effort to improve the sustainability and availability of the company's shared vehicles.
The launch is initially limited to Washington D.C. ，but the e-bike will gradually spread in other cities this spring,including Atlanta and Charleston in the U.S.
In early 2021，Lime announced a ﹩ 50 million investment in the Gen4 model.The battery can be used between Lime's Gen4 e-bikes and Gen4 e-scooters （电动滑板车），which will hopefully result in reduced van trips for the Lime's operations team replacing the batteries.The feature is also designed to improve reliability for the service and prevent large numbers of uncharged,unusable vehicles lying around on sidewalks.
"The launch of our Gen4 e-bike is an important step toward achieving our mission of building a future where transportation is shared,affordable and carbon-free, " said Wayne Ting,CEO of Lime. "Standardizing our exchangeable batteries across modes is a leap forward for Lime and the broader micro mobility industry,making operations more efficient and sustainable,while improving reliability for riders. "
Other significant updates to the bike include increased motor power,an improved phone holder,new handlebar display （already seen on Lime's e-scooters），an automatic two-speed transmission for a smoother ride,and a modular （组合式的）design which the company says makes the bike's usable life longer.Durability （持久性） is a major issue for the micro mobility industry.
The demand for e-bikes,shared or otherwise,appears to be continuing at a steady pace,as Americans apparently bought electric bikes at greater rates than they did electric cars during the pandemic.Here's all the electric bikes and scooters that rolled into CES 2022 for a glimpse of what's ahead.
8. What is the biggest feature of Gen4 e-bike？ ______
A. Its colour. B. Its firm phone holder.
C. Its exchangeable battery. D. Its fast-charge system.
9. What can we learn about Gen4 e-bike？ ______
A. It will only be used in Washington D.C.
B. It uses the same battery as Gen4 e-scooters.
C. It has reduced the number of the operations team replacing batteries.
D. It may cause more uncharged vehicles on the roadside.
10. Which update to Gen4 e-bike is unmentioned in the text？ ______
A. Automatic two-speed transmission.
B. A newly designed pedal.
C. Increased motor power.
D. New handlebar display.
11. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. A new e-bike appears in the UK.
B. The high quality of Gen4 e-bike.
C. A great leap for battery sharing in Washington
D. C. D.Lime launches a new e-bike featuring swappable batteries.
D
    Deforestation (滥伐森林) last year rose to the highest level since 2015 in Brazil's Cerrado, prompting scientists on Monday to raise alarm over the state of the world's most species-rich savanna (热带草原), a major carbon sink that helps to hold off climate change.
    The Cerrado, which spreads across several states of Brazil and is one of the world's largest savannas, is often called an "upside-down forest" because of the deep roots its plants sink into the ground to survive seasonal droughts and fires.
    Deforestation and other clearances of native plants in the Cerrado rose 8 percent to 8, 531 square kilometers in the 12 months through July, Brazil's official period for measuring deforestation, according to national space research agency INPE. That is more than 10 times the size of New York City's land area of 783.84 square km.
    "It's extremely worrying," said Mercedes Bustamante, an ecologist at the University of Brasilia. Bustamante also criticized the government for a lack of transparency in announcing the deforestation data on New Year's Eve.
    The added destruction is particularly concerning. Roughly half of the Cerrado has been destroyed since the 1970s, mostly for farming and ranching (牧场经营). "You're transforming thousands of square kilometers annually," said Manuel Ferreira, a geographer at the Federal University of Goias. "Few other places on earth have seen that rapidity of a transformation."
    Ferreira said that new plant and animal species are regularly being discovered in the Cerrado but he added that many are probably being eradicated before they can be studied.
    After falling from highs in the early 2000s, deforestation in the Cerrado has been increasing again since right-wing President took office in 2019, calling for more farming and development in sensitive ecosystems. Bustamante and other scientists blame the President for encouraging deforestation with his pro-development rhetoric and for rolling back environmental enforcement.
12. Why is Cerrado called "upside-down forest"?
A. Because of its large size.
B. Because of seasonal droughts and fires.
C. Because of the existence of the deep roots.
D. Because of its fast deforestation.
13. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show?
A. The large size of Cerrado.
B. The fast pace of deforestation.
C. The small area of New York City.
D. Brazil's measures to protect savannas.
14. What does the underlined word "eradicated" in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Extinguished. B. Transformed. C. Conveyed. D. Powered.
15. Which of the following statement is related to the President's policy?
A. Transforming forests to farms.
B. Returning farmlands to forests.
C. Calling on more people to protect forests.
D. Trying to protect the environment at any cost.
Seasonal affective disorder （SAD） is a type of depression that sets in or starts in the win- ter months. (1) .It is often a cyclical,recurring disorder.You'll feel depression every winter and begin to feel better each spring.
SAD depression is caused by lowered levels of serotonin （血清素），the mood-affecting brain chemical that is caused by seasonal changes in daylight.Although any amount of out- door light can help raise serotonin levels,getting light in the morning seems to offer the most benefit. (2) .In your home or office,try sitting close toa window that faces south.Replacing light bulbs（电灯泡）in your home with full spectrum light bulbs can help because their light is similar to sunlight.
(3) .Exercise raises levels of serotonin and also increases levels of endorphins,which have been shown to fight depression.Moderate exercise such as walking,riding a stationary bike,or swimming is a great way to get started.
Vitamin D is necessary for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine （chemicals associated with depression），so researchers concluded that a link between low vitamin D levels and depression was logical.Scientists recommend one to take vitamin D 2，000 IU daily, (4) .
Year-end panic refers to the self-reproach （自责）and overall feeling of panic brought about by the approach of the year's end,often due to a poor financial year and pressure from work and family. (5) .While regretting for the failed plans in the past year,you can still make resolution to do it better in the coming year.

A.Eating more fish can fight SAD
B.If the weather permits,take a walk
C.where days can be very short in winter
D.but suggest taking more if you get little exposure to the sun
E.Experts suggest that we should avoid competition with others
F.Unlike other types of depression,it may improve as spring comes on

NoticeDear schoolmates,
___________
38. When I graduated from the university,I devoted myself to teaching English in a small village school.One day,a lady called me and told me she was Simon's mother.She said she wanted to call on me at a right time.Honestly speaking,I had been worried about myself.It made me feel a little fearful of seeing her because I was a new teacher and I gave an honest ac- count of the students' work.In Simon's case,the grades were very low.He had never spent much time finishing his schoolwork carefully so that he couldn't even read his own handwriting,not to mention listening to his teachers in class.But he was a bright student.He dis- cussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered my office and appeared in front of me with a broad smile on her face,my palms （手心） were sweating.I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. "I came to thank you, " she said,which surprised me beyond speech. "Simon has become a different person.He talks of how he loves me,and he has begun to make friends,and for the first time in his twelve years,he has recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house.I want to tell you how grateful I am.You have helped my son develop his self- respect, "she continued.Then she kissed me again and left.
I sat,feeling really shocked,for about half an hour,wondering what had just happened.How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？At the very moment,I just failed to find out a reasonable explanation for what I was going through.

       （2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
       一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
       （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
       根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
       （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
       在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
