ABeijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.Figure skatingFigure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes.CurlingCurling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!SnowboardingSnowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.Ice hockeyIce hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.26.Figure skates ought to be ________.A. elegant and faultlessB. inspiring and excitingC. skillful and defensiveD. calm and fashionable27. Which of the winter sports mentioned above involves team work?A. Figure skating and Curling.B. Curling and Ice hockey.C. Snowboarding and Figure skating.D. Snowboarding and Ice hockey.28. What do we know about these winter sports from the passage?A. Snowboarding originated from skiing, surfing and shooting.B. Figure skating enjoys the greatest popularity.C. Over a million become ice hockey league members each year.D. The curling ice path is brushed to help the stone slide.BI fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.”She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I’ll manage with the family...it’ll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high schooland where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand I couldn’t bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter’s offer.I’m still making music. I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.29.When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _______.A.envied himughed at himC.encouraged himD.didn’t believe him30.Why did the author give up the contract?A.Because his wife was strongly against it.B.Because the pay was not attractive enough.C.Because he wanted to care about his two kids.D.Because he didn’t want his family life damaged.31.According to the passage, we can infer that the author _______.ed to be a country singerB.preferred his present lifeC.went on the road to fameD.regretted giving up his contract32. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. One should know himself.B. Interest is the best teacher.C. Family should come first.D. Every dog has its day.CNearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the di sease.A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital,has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the r esearch team.The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫苗), from becoming infected(感染) by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang.How does it work? When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems.The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.”33. What can we know about the new therapy according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A. It’s the first way to treat COVID-19.B. It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.C. It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug.D. It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities.34. Which statement does the author probably agree with?A. Only medical workers can take this drug.B. Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.C. The new drug takes effect after a period of use.D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is easy to produce the drug.B. The new drug has been put into use.C. Zhang thought highly of the power of science.D. China is the first country to use technology to fight disease.36. Where does the text probably come from?A. A textbook.B. An educational magazine.C. A medical journal.D. A tourist guide.DAs people get older, the types of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps(黑猩猩) also have similar tendencies.One explanation for the humans to get picky about social connections has to do with awareness oftheir limited lifetime. “People monitor how mu ch time they have left in their life and choose emotionally-fulfilling relationships in old age,”says one of the study’s lead authors Alexandra G. Rosati.As people age, they don’t want to be surrounded by a large group of negative friends, but would prefer to be near a handful of optimistic individuals.Rosati and her colleagues were curious whether chimps would show similar features even though they don’t seem to be aware of their upcoming death. Researchers used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps.Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern.“They interact with others more positively ways as they get older. Younger adults, in contrast,show more aggression and were more likely to form one-sided relationships where their partner did not reciprocate.”says Rosati. For example, the older chimpanzees would sit close to their long-time companions and groom(梳理毛发) each other, while younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. The study was published in the journal Science.This aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to manage our emotions with age,”Rosati says.“This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.”37.Why do humans change their preference for friends in old age?A.They don’t like making new friends.B.Their friends pass away one by one.C.They adapt to the changes in nature.D.They know their life is running out.38. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the study was carried out.B. How scientists proved their assumption.C. How hard it was to observe the chimps.D. Why male chimps are unaware of upcoming death.39.What does the underlined word“reciprocate”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Repay their kindness.B. Take care of them.C. Get along well with them.D. Sit close to them.40.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.People Prefer Positive Partners in Old AgeB.Positive Bonds Benefit Chimps in Many WaysC.Aging Chimps like Us Get Picky About FriendsD. Chimps Share Similar Tendencies with Humans第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
