一、阅读理解
Here are some wonderful things to do this week.
A Power Station
R&B band Tower of Power comes to Meadow Event Park as part of the After Hours concert series this week.

The band performs at 6 pm on August 17. Tickets are $21 to $59.
Whistle Stop
The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters bring their amazing performance to Virginia State University at 7 pm on August 18.

A chance to see this team is something you won’t want to miss.
Undead or Alive
Firehouse Theatre presents The Zombie (僵尸) Life on August 16 — 20. The production looks like a self-help seminar (研讨会), where a kind therapist offers a solution for life’s troubles by turning people into zombies. The play is an original work written by Chris Gavaler, an associate professor of English from Washington &Lee University. The show runs for eight performances, and tickets are $33.

Thanks to hours of training, gymnasts seem to effortlessly fly through the air at impossible heights. However, a psychological condition, known as “the twisties”, can affect even the most experienced gymnast. The condition, resulting from stress, causes athletes to lose awareness while they’re in the middle of a routine. It can lead to serious injury.
For Simone Biles, the twisties appeared while competing in the vault (跳马) at the Tokyo 2020 artistic gymnastics team finals on July 27, 2021. Biles had planned on performing an Amanar, a challenging routine that requires two-and-a-half twists in the air. Instead, she completed only one-and-a-half twists. Later Biles explained her condition, “Actually I cannot tell up from down. It’s the craziest feeling ever. Not having an inch of control over your body.”
Over the next week, Biles stopped taking part in five of the six finals she’d spent four years training to compete in. On August 3, 2021, she felt strong enough to compete in her last individual event—the balance beam, and won a bronze medal.
While fighting her emotional disorder, Biles remained a struggling cheerleader for her teammates. They weren’t disillusionary. After winning a silver medal in the artistic gymnastics team final, they also got good results in their separate individual events. Jade Carey took home the gold in the individual floor exercise, while Suni Lee placed first in the gymnastics all-around event.
Biles’ decision to put her health first has been welcomed by people worldwide. “At the end of the day, we’re not just athletes,” Biles said. “We’re human, too, and we have real emotions, and sometimes people don’t realize that we have things going on behind the scenes that affect us whenever we go out and compete.”
4．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A．Start a topic. B．Present a fact.
C．Make a prediction. D．Explain a concept.
5．What can be inferred about Simone Biles in the final of the vault?
A．She injured her eyes. B．She kept her balance.

Plants have been essential to humans since the beginning of time. Their beauty inspires joy and many have healing functions. Now, a recent study has identified a super plant that cleans polluted air.
Noting that car pollution is a global concern, researchers set out to study how effective plants are at catching roadside particulates (颗粒), which cause many health problems. The scientists at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in the UK chose the city of Reading to study how effective plants are at catching them. Since previous research has shown that trees help remove air pollution, researchers decided to explore the effectiveness of hedges (树篱). This study looked at three species: hawthorn, western red cedar, and franchet’s cotoneaster (栒子).
Researchers discovered that cotoneaster was the most effective after comparing particulates on leaves of these three plants. This is due to the plant’s hairy, complex leaf structure. Researchers also found that thick hedges over six feet high were best in reducing the concentration of particles. In the most heavily trafficked areas, cotoneaster took in 20 percent more pollution than the other shrubs, according to The Guardian.
Dr Tijana Blanusa, co-author of the study, told The Guardian, “We know that in just seven days a l-metre length of well-managed dense hedge will clean up the same amount of pollution that a car emits over a 500-mile drive.” Blanusa highly recommends planting cotoneasters along busy roads.
This is great news for urban planners, as well as gardeners. Although many people are affected by roadside pollution, an RHS survey shows that only six percent of gardeners choose specific plants that may improve air quality.
Originally from China, cotoneaster is a hardy evergreen that can tolerate cold. In addition to growing healthy in the UK, it can grow strong in areas from California up to the Pacific Northwest, into British Columbia and around the Great Lakes.
Thanks to this recent study, cotoneaster has proved to be extremely beneficial, enabling gardeners and landscapers to make a positive difference to the environment. The hope is that once these super plants are grown in urban gardens and on streets, they will clean the air plus provide intense beauty along the way.
8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．What plants bring people.
B．Why researchers did the study.
C．How serious air pollution is.
D．What progress scientists have made.
9．Why is cotoneaster better at absorbing roadside particulates?
A．Its leaves are made of many different parts.
B．It can keep green in bad weather conditions.
C．It has a suitable height for reducing pollution.
D．Its leaves are thick in places with heavy traffic.
10．What’s Tijana Blanusa’s attitude towards the effect of cotoneaster?
A．Positive. B．Surprised. C．Concerned. D．Doubtful.
11．What can we learn about cotoneaster?
A．It requires a lot of care in urban areas.
B．It will affect the growth of other species.
C．It will help improve air quality once planted.
D．It can make people feel energetic all day long.

Leo Tolstoy once said, “Nothing is so necessary for a young man as having an intelligent woman.” Intelligence is so wonderful. It is sad to know that some people think that they are good-looking until they wear make-up. The only thing some people have is facial values. They lack inner worth. It is your self-worth rather than your face-worth that determines your personality. So, try to pay more attention to your “brain” than to your “face”.
We are living in a world where being natural is no longer fashionable. Many people have become victims of their own uncontrollable addiction to make-up. Some have spent too much time in “caking” their faces. Many creative ideas have been buried in make-up products. William Shakespeare said in one of his excellent plays Hamlet, “God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.”
People are beautiful, not in looks but just in the way they are. Using make-up is great, but unreasonable addiction to it is robbing us of our ability to spend quality time on the things that truly matter.
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself. By being your true self, you will attract people that are real. The search for self-worth is not a skin issue; healthy self-worth begins by finding what cannot be destroyed inside.
Don’t ruin your natural beauty with too much make-up. Make-up time is necessary for people but should not be more important than personal development. We should be creative and not be addicted to make-up. We should fight for healthy beauty standards. There is nothing more attractive than healthy self-worth. Once you see your own beauty, so will everyone else. Good looks and pretty faces might attract people to us, but virtue and character will keep the right people around us.
We must first deepen our relationships with ourselves before we entirely concentrate on how we look in make-up. Besides, there is more to life than good looks. By building a lifestyle around our values, we can create a life that is more satisfying, meaningful, and fulfilling.
12．What message does the author convey by saying Shakespeare’s words?
A．People are losing self-confidence.
B．Everyone should be honest with others.
C．We are becoming too dependent on make-up.
D．We should abandon the current standards of beauty.
13．What lesson can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．He is only bright that shines by himself.
B．Good fame is better than a good face.
C．Character is what you are in the dark.
D．Virtue never grows old.
14．What plays a key role in true friendships according to the author?
A．Good looks and healthy lifestyles. B．Good personalities and qualities.
C．Creative and talented thoughts. D．Accepted beauty standards.
15．What can be a suitable title for this text?
A．Say No to Make-Up
B．Search for Self-Worth
C．Keep Your Natural Beauty
D．Work Harder on Brain Beauty


二、七选五
“To invent,” Thomas Edison said, “you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.”
Colrerd Nkosi had all the junk he needed, and the will to bring electricity to his small village in Malawi. As a result, he not only accomplished his goal, but won an award from the Queen of England. 16
In the beginning, he put a bicycle in the river and wondered how the current moved the pedals, and how it might be turned into power. Then he used an old refrigerator compressor(压缩机) to power six homes. 17 Finally, using a recycled corn- shelling machine motor and a fast-moving river, Nkosi created an electric turbine(涡轮机) that’s now lighting up homes in the town of Mzimba for free.
In a country where only 11%of the population has access to electricity, having a reliable and renewable source of energy has been a game- changer. 18
“In the past, we had to study by candlelight, and whenever there was no money to buy candles, we could not study,” student Gift Mfune said. “Now that we have access to electricity, many more of us will pass our exams.”
19 Indeed, the only charge for his service is a€1- per- month maintenance fee.
Over 2,000 people have benefited from his sustainable and locally generated electricity. And in 2018, Mr Nkosi won a Point of Light Award from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II for his dedication to innovation.
In addition to lighting up his neighbors literally, Nkosi’s dream is to bring light to them as well through education. 20 He also hopes to expand his own skillset with more advanced studies.
A．That’s especially true in schools.
B．But that’s another story for schools.
C．And just like Edison, he did a lot of experiments.
D．Nkosi eventually succeeded after years of hard work.
E．His neighbors were excited about it, so he continued to upgrade it.
F．The driving force behind Nkosi’s DIY power project has nothing to do with profit.
G．He already gives hands-on lessons in the basics of engineering to village children.

Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are the smallest birds in the world. Researchers have spent three years 36 (study) hummingbirds to find out whether they can distinguish between spectral (光谱) and non-spectral colors.
A newly 37 (publish) paper has confirmed that these incredible tiny 38 (creature) indeed have the ability to tell the difference between these color types and that they can see colors completely unknown to the human eye.
Hummingbirds are one of nature’s wonders — they live 39 a diet containing high levels of sugar (and sometimes insects), they are almost 40 ( constant) on the move, and they can see colors that humans can’t even imagine.
There are four color cone types in the eyes of hummingbirds, 41 humans only have three color cone types.

六、读后续写
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容进行续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr Tai, the teacher in charge of athletics at the school of SUKK Temarah, had just celebrated his 58th birthday — an age at which many would think seriously of retiring. However, it was not so with Mr Tai. He had an outstanding record of athletic achievements in leading the school’s sports team. Some of the students he had coached had become national runners or even coaches themselves. The school board agreed he continued to work as they did not want to lose the services of someone who had successfully led the school athletics team to the finals of the National Athletics Championships.
In the year before, however, the school team did not get as many medals in the National Athletics Championships as expected. Mr Tai’s hopes were fired this year by two promising star athletics, Farid and Hassan, who happened to be twins.
In the school’s sports meet, Farid broke the school’s twenty-year record for the 100 meters event. His brother, Hassan, was second to him. Since Hassan had an ankle injury, Mr Tai decided to submit only Farid’s name to the finals of the National Athletics Championships and told Farid to get ready for the event. On the day he submitted the results of the best runner in the school, he mistakenly wrote Hassan’s name instead.
When Mr Tai received the list of the finalists in the 100 meters event in the National Athletics Championships, he realized his mistake. However, it was too late to inform the sports secretariat (秘书处). Besides, pride also did not allow him to tell Farid the mistake. He decided to inform his brother, Hassan, and start training him in the final preparations. When Farid learned that he was not a finalist, he could not believe his ears. Even though he was glad that his brother was qualified for the event, he was quite disappointed. To make matters worse, Mr Tai did not give him any reasons for his not being allowed to take part in the finals. Realizing that his hopes for athletic glory were destroyed, Farid felt extremely sad.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Seeing Farid’s unhappiness, his best friend, John, pulled him aside to have a talk.

Paragraph 2:
Hassan did not do well in the National Athletics Championships.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蜂鸟是世界上最小的鸟。研究人员花了三年时间研究蜂鸟，以确定它们是否能区分光谱和非光谱颜色。一篇新发表的论文证实，这些令人难以置信的小生物确实有能力区分这些颜色类型，它们可以看到人眼完全不知道的颜色。
36．考查非谓语动词。句意：研究人员花了三年时间研究蜂鸟，以确定它们是否能区分光谱和非光谱颜色。此处为短语spend... (in) doing...意为“花费……做……”。故填studying。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：一篇新发表的论文证实，这些令人难以置信的小生物确实有能力区分这些颜色类型，它们可以看到人眼完全不知道的颜色。分析句子结构可知publish与paper之间为动宾关系，故用动词的过去分词作定语。故填published。
38．考查名词复数。句意：一篇新发表的论文证实，这些令人难以置信的小生物确实有能力区分这些颜色类型，它们可以看到人眼完全不知道的颜色。根据空前的these及creature为可数名词可知，此处应用名词复数形式。故填creatures。

44．考查谓语动词时态。句意：为了弄清楚蜂鸟是如何看到颜色的，研究小组在科罗拉多州的落基山生物实验室（RMBL）设立了工作站，在那里他们训练野生宽尾蜂鸟积极参与他们的实验。根据语境可知，描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填trained。

47．Paragraph 1:
Seeing Farid’s unhappiness, his best friend, John, pulled him aside to have a talk. Farid poured out his pain and sadness to John, who then encouraged him to talk with Mr Tai. However, Mr Tai tried to avoid meeting Farid because the reputable teacher did not want to admit his mistake to his student. When Farid finally managed to meet Mr Tai, the latter just made him accept that his brother was the better choice but didn’t provide an explanation.
Paragraph 2:
Hassan did not do well in the National Athletics Championships. His old ankle injury troubled him during the race and he came in last. The school’s athletics performance was at its worst that year. Mr Tai was not chosen as the athletics coach the following year. As for Farid, he didn’t give up running and did well enough to win glory for the school in the next National Athletics Championships. In the meantime, he realized that Mr Tai had just submitted the name by mistake in that event and he felt complete peace of mind at that very moment.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述应该考虑退休的58岁的Tai老师仍然坚持在做SUKK Temarah的体育老师的岗位上，他发现了一对很有前途的双胞胎选手Farid和Hassan，Hassan脚踝受伤，Tai老师决定只提交Farid的名字参加全国田径锦标赛的决赛，并告诉Farid为比赛做好准备，但是他错误地写下了Hassan的名字，意识到自己的错误时为时已晚，Tai老师只能通知Hassan并训练他，得知自己无法参加比赛，并且Tai老师没有给出理由，Farid感到极度悲伤。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“看到Farid不开心，他最好的朋友John把他拉到一边，和他聊了起来。”可知，第一段可描写John建议他和Tai老师谈谈，Tai老师却躲着Farid，最终见面时Tai老师也没有给出任何解释。
②由第二段首句内容“Hassan在全国田径锦标赛中表现不佳。”可知，第二段可描写最后的结果，Hassan表现不佳，Tai老师第二年没有继续当体育老师，而Farid没有放弃跑步，也了解到了事情的真相。
2.续写线索：John提出建议——Tai躲避Farid——见面但没有提供解释——比赛结果——Farid第二年取得荣誉——了解真相
