But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Currently, she runs on an artificial leg made of a strong, light material known as carbon fiber. The material, which is designed specially for running, costs about $10, 000.But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. The biggest struggle used to be that she had to admit part of her body was gone. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee (截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began tocry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’” she said.Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others.

She grew up and still lives in the United States, but in June 2019 she made the “quite difficult” decision to compete for China. She wrote on Instagram that she was “proud of my heritage and equally proud of my American upbringings (培养)”.As for the decision to compete on behalf of China, she said it is a “valuable opportunity to help inspire millions of young people in China where my mom was born”.Gu graduated from a San Francisco high school last year and is focusing on her Beijing 2022 training. It is reported that she scored 1,580 points out of a maximum 1,600 in the SAT(美国大学入学考试), and has been offered a place at Stanford.Gu started on the snow at the age of 3, was competing in national competitions at 9 and won her first World Cup event at 15. She won two gold medals and a silver for China at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland. On Jan. 30th, 2021, Gu made her debut (首次亮相) at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado and won two golds and a bronze.“My goal is to win Olympic gold,” she told the official Olympic website. “It’s the top achievement. And that would be rewarding for all the work that I’ve done to achieve greatness in the sport.”8．In the first paragraph, the underlined part “switching to” means in Chinese ________ .A．打开B．关闭C．突变D．转变9．What do we know about Gu Ailing?A．She grew up in China.B．She is an average student.C．She will graduate from a high school.D．She decided to compete for China. 10．Which of the following words can best describe Gu Ailing?A．Helpful and knowledgeable.B．Modest and hard-working.C．Clever and ambitious.D．Creative and confident.11．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Gu Ailing—An American Freeskier B．Gu Ailing—A Stanford GraduateC．Gu Ailing—A talented Chinese Freeskier D．Gu Ailing—An Olympic ChampionIn an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.Yin Yang yoga is a combination (结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yinto give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury. 12．What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A．Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.B．We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.C．Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.D．Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.13．What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph?A．Independent from one another.B．Competitive against one another.C．Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.D．Different from each other but together making a good combination.14．Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures?A．Relaxing muscles.B．Building stamina.C．Strengthening the body.D．Quickening the heartbeat.15．What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs?A．Hold each Yin posture for longer than 5 minutes.B．Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.C．Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.D．Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.Unlike hurricanes or floods, earthquakes happen without warning and are usually followed by similar aftershocks, although the aftershocks are usually less powerful than thequake. If you find yourself in the middle of an earthquake, there’s often only a short time to decide what to do. 16● Drop to the ground. The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous “stop, drop and roll” for fires. While it’s not the only method of protecting yourself indoors during an earthquake, it is the preferred method of the Red Cross. Big earthquakes occur without much, if any, warning. 17 A small earthquake could turn into a big earthquake in a split-second; it’s better to be safe than sorry.● Take cover. Get under a firm table or other piece of furniture. 18 If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building.● Hold on. 19 Hold on to whatever surface or platform you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you were unable to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏，隐藏) down low.● 20 Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe.A．Stay inside until it’s safe to get out.B．In that case, move to the nearest safe place.C．Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake.D．So it’s recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits.E．If possible, stay away from windows and anything that could fall.F．The ground maybe shaking and pieces of wood or brick could be falling.G．Studying the following advice could be the difference between life and death.二、完形填空It happened in Knoxville (a city in Tennessee in the US).

Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit.We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret my trip there. How many people can say they’ve ridden a camel through a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert?4．What happened to the author and her boyfriend?A．They lost their travel jackets.B．They met with a strong sandstorm.C．They were cheated by a guide.D．They got lost in the Sahara Desert.5．What can be learned about the author and her boyfriend?A．Their eyes were damaged in the sandstorm.B．They prepared well for a possible sandstorm.C．They had good skills in surviving sandstorms.D．They suffered a lot on the way back to the camp.6．Why didn’t the guide move the camel ride to the next day?A．He was encouraged not to by the driver.B．He thought the sandstorm would stop soon.C．He didn’t want to let the tourists down.D．He wanted to finish the tour as quickly as possible.7．What does the author most probably think of the experience?A．Unforgettable.B．Common.C．Painful.D．Unfortunate.Bogre Udell, who speaks four languages, met Frederico Andrade, who speaks five, at the Parsons New School in New York City. In 2014, they started a project which was scheduled to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to hit 1, 000 in the coming years.“When humans lose a language, we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,” said Bogre Udell. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world's languages have fewer than 1, 000 speakers left. Every two weeks alanguage dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.Wikitongues, a non-profit organization seeking to save world languages, has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are requested to recall childhood, share their stories, and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language, and he also recorded it. However, priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly. Not long ago, one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.Being short of protection and globalization are responsible for reducing language diversity. For much of the 20th century, governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived. However, most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute greatly to the extinction of languages.8．What was the goal of the project established by Bogre Udell and Frederico Andrade?A．To work out how many languages had been lost.B．To offer language courses with the traditions to people.C．To find out the reasons for the serious language loss.D．To document all the languages in the world.9．How does the author organize his opinion in Paragraph 2?A．By making comparison.B．By quoting Frederico’s idea.C．By giving examples and data.D．By explaining cause and result. 10．Which of the followings are NOT the factors leading to the disappearance of languages?A．Foreign languages and governments’ laws.B．Urbanization and the lack ofprotection.C．Globalization and foreign settlers.D．Spread of official languages and Climate change.11．What would be the most suitable title for the text?A．The Record of Languages B．The History of LanguagesC．The Disappearance of Languages D．The Diversity of LanguagesAccording to a new study, great whites and whale sharks are among the species at risk of dying out over the next century.Pimiento is the lead author of a research published in Science Advances. The research looks at how the extinction of large marine (海洋的) species would influence the ecological roles of ocean ecosystems. “The worrying extinction challenges scientists to better measure the variety of biology: how will the total variety of life on Earth be affected as human activities lead to the losses of more and more creatures?” they said. In the oceans, the biggest animals are thought to play important ecological roles, and are also facing high levels of threat from human activities such as fisheries and climate change.The team was looking to move beyond traditional species extinctions, to find out more about the functional diversity, the range of roles that these species perform, and how biodiversity (生物多样性) might respond under different extinction scenarios (预测). They ran two different extinction scenarios. In one, researchers looked at extinction probability based on their current IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) status. In the second, they assumed all species listed as threatened, around 40 percent, had gone extinct.Sharks were found to be one of the worst affected groups. “We already knew that sharks are one of the most threatened groups in the ocean,” they said. “They are also very easily hurt due to their large size and low reproductive rate. Our results show that the most functionally unique and special shark species would be more likely to die out in the future, contributing to greater ecological losses.” They also found the biggest threats to marine megafauna (大型哺乳动物群) are fishing, either through getting caught up by accident or directly targeted, and climate change. Reducing these threats could be the best way to protect these species.The good news is that the study identifies key species that can be targeted and protected. Sometimes ocean preservation can be a triage game. The science helps us know which species really need our help and which species we really cannot afford to lose.12．Why did Pimiento carry out the study?A．To show that great white sharks and whale sharks are endangered.B．To study the main cause of the extinction of some large species in the sea.C．To work out the ecological role of large animals in the ocean.D．To offer us the best way of balancing variety of biology with human acts.13．How did the team conduct its research?A．By checking current data.B．By predicting extinction rates.C．By measuring marine biodiversity.D．By analyzing traditional experiments. 14．What does the research result show?A．The risk of sharks reproducing in the ocean.B．The reasons for sharks being hit hardest in the sea.C．The influence of sharks’ extinction on the ocean.D．The solution to large sea animals’ dying out.15．The underlined word “triage” in Paragraph 5 means _________.A．challenging B．interesting C．easy D．sortingWhen you are overwhelmed, you feel like things are too many to deal with. Everyone gets overwhelmed from time to time, but you can still do something to handle this negative emotion. 16Slow it down.The first thing you need to do when you feel flooded or overwhelmed is to slow everything down. 17 You will have more time to focus on the present and thus do things more leisurely. The experience of being overwhelmed can feel very chaotic and out of control, but when you slow it down, you are reclaiming control over the experience.18If you’re wondering how to get your life together, it’s time to reflect on what led to the stress. Reflecting is great because it helps you sort through the data you have received from being overwhelmed. Taking the time to understand the data will also help you better understand what your body is trying to tell you if you meet with these situations again in the future.Release, regroup, and redirect.It’s easier said than done, but when it comes to feeling overwhelmed, the best thing you can do is let it go. The release of the source of feeling overwhelmed is critical to the “getting my life back together” component of this process. 19 Regrouping is important because it allows you to close the feedback loop(循环)on all the slowing down, stepping back, reflecting and releasing. It allows you to hit the reset button, and with all you know now, you can move forward in a prepared and empowered manner. Lastly, you should redirect. 20 Even if your trajectory(轨道)only slightly altered its course, that’s OK! What is important isthat you have processed integrated, and learned from your life so that you are better prepared for the future and more equipped to face it.A．Step back and reflect.B．Express what you are truly feeling and thinking.C．When you slow down, it is as if you have put the brakes on.D．This doesn’t necessarily mean you must move in a totally new direction.E．Another thing you have to do before getting your life back together is regroup.F．Rethinking about your previous mistakes might give you clues to avoid them in the future.G．Here are some tips to help you get your life back together when you feel completely overwhelmed.二、完形填空Richard is a boy who is positive towards life.
