阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
From Alton Towers to Legoland, our experts pick their favorite British theme parks, highlighting the best roller coasters, character-led attractions, and animal safaris (狩猎旅行).
Drayton Manor
The Staffordshire theme park includes rides for all ages but stands out for having hit on a winning formula for young families with its expanding Thomas Land section. The 286-acre site is set in woodlands but the main village is enough for little legs to explore, making it well suited to pre-and primary school children.
Paultons Family Theme Park
On the edge of New Forest National Park, in Hampshire, Paultons Family Theme Park sits in 140 acres of attractive parkland. Although overshadowed by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in terms of big rides, the park is home to Peppa Pig World, as well as 60 rides and attractions, and is best for families with young children.
Chessington World of Adventures
This park in Surrey has injected novelty (新奇) this year with the launch of its exclusive Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, raising its status as a family-friendly destination. The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals including monkey walk-throughs and the Zufari safari experience.
Legoland Windsor
If you’re looking for stomach-in-the-mouth roller coasters, Legoland is not for you. This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12, with bucket-loads to keep them happy. Now in its third decade, set in lovely grounds, the theme park still has some of the charm of the original Danish parent park, with plenty of giraffes, crocodiles and pirates made out of Lego bricks spread over the rides.
1. Which of the following is recommended if a family want to interact with animals
A. Drayton Manor
B. Paultons Family Theme Park
C. Chessington World of Adventures
D. Legoland Windsor
2. What do the four theme parks have in common
A. They’re all ideal for children.
B. They all feature thrilling big rides.
C. They’re all renewing recreational facilities.
D. They all cover a vast area of over 200 acres.
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To promote ecotourism.
B. To value family union.
C. To introduce theme parks.
D. To compare tourist attractions.

China's teen diving sensation (轰动性人物） Quan Hongchan's family and neighbours have been disturbed by tourists hoping to get social media “likes”， local media say. Ever since the 14-year-old won the Olympic gold after delivering three perfect-10 dives, fans have rushed to her Maihe village home to take videos and photos. Some persistent fans are even climbing trees for a better view.
Quan has received massive support online after she said she took up diving to pay her sick mother's bills. Her story touched many people when she told reporters that she dedicated her Olympic win to her mother, who has been admitted to hospital many times after getting into a traffic accident years ago. “I want to make enough money to support her," Quan had said in Tokyo.
On China's Twitter-like platform Weibo, the hashtag(标签）“how to view Quan Hongchan's home becoming an internet photo hotspot” was viewed more than 25 million times.There was criticism over the actions of these influencers, who reportedly staked out the rural village in Guangdong province to livestream videos even after midnight. Others knocked on the door to take selfies with her family members, while some tried to steal jackfruit from her home as gifts, local media said. “If people are going to her house just to get followers, that's unacceptable. Her mother is sick. She shouldn't be disturbed,” one Weibo comment read.
The village has now been closed to visitors as the large crowds didn't follow Covid control measures, reports say. Due to her years of training, the farmer's daughter said she had never been to a zoo or amusement park. Her comments made a safari and amusement park in Guangzhou decide to announce free annual membership cards to all Chinese diving team members. Other businesses and donors have come forth offering cash and gifts, including her favourite spicy street snack latiao-made from flour that is cooked and seasoned. Her father has reportedly declined cash gifts, and thanked donors for their “kind hearts”。
4. Why is Quan Hongchan committed to winning the Olympic gold
A. Her love for the diving team and country.
B. Her pursuit for the fame and wealth.
C. Her desire to pay for her mother's medical bills.
D. Her gratitude for the support of fans.
5. What does the underlined phrase “staked out” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Monitor.
B. Strike.
C. Squeeze.
D. Cater.
6. What can we infer from the text
A. Businesses and donors have their own calculation.
B. The intention of influencers and tourists varies.
C. The closure of Quan's village is due to the online viewers' concern.
D. The privacy of Quan's family and villagers hasn't been fully respected.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Quan Hongchan's inspiring story catches on throughout the country
B. Social media is a double-edged sword for Quan
C. The teen diving star won the Olympic gold
D. The teen diving star's village was jam-packed by fans

China is investigating how to build an ultra-large spacecraft that is up to 0. 6 mile （1 kilometer) long. But how practical is the idea
The project is part of a wider call for research proposals from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a funding agency managed by the country's Ministry of Science and Technology. A research outline posted on the foundation's website described such enormous spaceships as “major strategic aerospace equipment for the future use of space resources, exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and long- term living in orbit”。
The foundation wants scientists to conduct research into new, lightweight design methods that could limit the amount of construction material that has to be thrown into orbit, and new techniques for safely assembling such massive structures in space. If funded, the practicability study would run for five years and have a budget of 15 million yuan ($2.3 million).
The project might sound like science fiction, but former NASA chief technologist Mason Peck said the idea isn't entirely off the wall, and the challenge is more a question of engineering than fundamental science. “I think it's entirely practical,” Peck, now a professor of aerospace engineering at Cornell University, told Live Science. “I would describe the problems here not as unconquerable obstacles, but rather problems of scale. ” By far the biggest challenge would be the price tag, noted Peck, due to the huge cost of launching objects and materials into space. The International Space Station （ISS), which is only 361 feet (110 meters) wide at its widest point according to NASA, cost roughly $ 100 billion to build, Peck said, so constructing something 10 times larger would strain even the most generous national space budget.
Much depends on what kind of structure the Chinese plan to build, though. The ISS is packed with equipment and is designed to accommodate humans, which significantly increases its mass. “If we're talking about something that is simply long and not also heavy then it's a different story,” Peck said.
8. Which of the following statements about the massive spacecraft is TRUE
A. The design of the spacecraft has already been in place.
B. It is directly led by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
C. It is aimed at further exploring the space and human's future.
D. A lot of research has been conducted regarding the spacecraft.
9. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The requirements of the practicability study.
B. The new approach to construction material.
C. How to get funded by the Foundation.
D. The revolutionary methods of constructing the spacecraft.
10. What can be inferred from Peck's perspective
A. There are still major doubts about the practicality of the spacecraft.
B. The structure of the spacecraft may determine the cost of the project.
C. The ISS has already successfully completed its historical mission.
D. The project and the current ISS are likely to have a lot in common.
11. What is most probably mentioned in the following paragraph
A. The problems facing the construction of the spacecraft.
B. Future researches into the other giant space projects.
C. Other approaches to reducing the cost of the spacecraft.
D. The future promising application of the spacecraft.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要是关于中国在调研如何建造超大型的宇宙飞船以及可行性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“A research outline posted on the foundation's website described such enormous spaceships as ‘major strategic aerospace equipment for the future use of space resources, exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and long- term living in orbit’”（该基金会网站上发布的一份研究大纲将这种巨大的宇宙飞船描述为“用于未来利用空间资源、探索宇宙奥秘和长期在轨道上生活的重要战略航天设备”）。可知，这种大型航天器旨在为了进一步探索太空和人类的长远发展。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。主要考查对信息的提炼和总结。根据第三段第一句“The foundation wants scientists to conduct research into new, lightweight design methods(这种基础要求科学家开展研究新的，重量轻的设计方法)以及最后一句“If funded, the practicability study would run for five years and have a budget of 15 million yuan ($2.3 million).(如果被提供资金，这种实用性的研究将会持续四年，预算是15 million yuan）”可知，第三段主要是对可行性设计的要求和时长的记述。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。Peck的观点定位到倒数第一、二段，表达的是建造这种超大型航天器完全是可行的，不存在科学方面的难题。根据倒数第二段“By far the biggest challenge would be the price tag”（到目前为止，最大的挑战是价格）可知，主要是如何面对成本上的挑战。而最后一段第一句“Much depends on what kind of structure the Chinese plan to build, though.”（不过，这在很大程度上取决于中国计划建造什么样的建筑。）提到结构的设计是一个关键。由此可以推断航天器结构设计很可能决定成本的高低。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段“The International Space Station （ISS), which is only 361 feet (110 meters) wide at its widest point according to NASA, cost roughly $ 100 billion to build, Peck said, so constructing something 10 times larger would strain even the most generous national space budget.”（根据NASA的数据，国际空间站最宽处只有361英尺(110米)，建造成本约为1000亿美元，佩克说，所以建造一个比它大10倍的空间站，即使是最慷慨的国家太空预算也会吃紧。），Peck的话主要探讨的是解决成本问题，紧接着探讨其他降低成本的方式的可能性更大。同时根据全文主要讲的是可行性问题，C选项话题延续性更强。故选C。
D
New Holland honeyeaters are experts at sounding the alarm when there's danger, according to new research from biologists at the Australian National University (ANU) and the University f Cambridge.
Study authors, Dr Jessica McLachlan and Professor Rob Magrath, found honeyeaters can spread the word in the blink of an eye, using a two-stage alarm. It's particularly effective when they are threatened by fast-moving birds of prey. “When a hawk(鹰）is swooping down, its target has only a fraction of a second to flee to cover-a split second can make the difference between life and death," Dr McLachlan said. “But animals often signal urgent danger using repeated notes, which makes sure others hear the warning but it takes a long time to deliver.
“So there's a problem. How to send a lightning-fast message in a long call ” New Holland honeyeaters solve this problem elegantly. They “front-load” information about urgency into the first note of their alarm call, so other honeyeaters can respond quickly. The clever honeyeaters follow this up with more notes to intensify the message and signal how long to remain hidden. “They use a long call, with lots of notes, to make sure the message is heard,” Professor Magrath said. “And the more notes, the more urgent the danger. But they also modify the first note to indicate if it's necessary to take immediate cover. So it's a two-part message that is quick, reliable and informative.”
The technique is so effective that the authors expect to see other species adopt it. “Many other species modify alarm calls as the threat increases, but there is surprisingly little known about how fast they convey the message,” Professor Magrath said.
The researchers conducted their study in Canberra's Australian National Botanic Gardens over a period of several years. “These birds live in the Gardens and are used to having people around. This helped us to record natural interactions with their predators, such as sparrowhawks and currawongs (澳洲喜鹊),and to video the honeyeaters' responses to different alarm calls,” Professor Magrath said.
12. According to Dr Jessica McLachlan,________.
A. speed counts when it comes to honeyeaters' life or death
B. the second-part message in a honeyeater's call is more reliable
C. the message about where to take cover is conveyed very fast
D. the urgency degree relies on the first note in a honeyeater's call
13. What's particular regarding the way honeyeaters convey the message of danger
A. The frequently repeated notes.
B. The relatively fixed amount of the notes.
C. The flexible adjustment of the notes.
D. A long-time delivery of the notes.
14. What attitude do the researchers hold towards the honeyeaters
A. Objective.
B. Critical.
C. Appreciative.
D. Ambiguous.
15. The researchers' findings are mainly based on
A. the comparison between honeyeaters and other birds in botanic gardens
B. the analysis of length of alarm calls made by honeyeaters
C. the permanent account of the honeyeaters' response and signal transmission
D. the constant and systematic observation of birds in botanic gardens and beyond
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了吸蜜鸟如何传递危险信号以及相关研究发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。speed counts的意思是“速度很关键、很重要，第二段第三句““When a hawk(鹰）is swooping down, its target has only a fraction of a second to flee to cover-a split second can make the difference between life and death," Dr McLachlan said.( 麦克拉克兰博士说:“当鹰俯冲下来时，它的目标只有几分之一秒的时间来躲避——这一秒可能决定生死。”)”可知一秒的差别就是生与死的差别。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后几句““And the more notes, the more urgent the danger. But they also modify the first note to indicate if it's necessary to take immediate cover. So it's a two-part message that is quick, reliable and informative.”(“越多越多，危险就越严重。但它们也会调整前面的信息，以表明是否有必要立即隐藏。所以这是一个由两部分组成的信息，既快速、可靠，又信息有效。”)”可知吸蜜鸟在传递信息方面的特点是速度快，信息量大，强度不断增加，信息可以根据危险情况而进行调整。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。A. Objective客观的；B. Critical批判的，爱挑剔的；C. Appreciative欣赏的；D. Ambiguous模棱两可的。根据第一段“New Holland honeyeaters are experts at sounding the alarm when there's danger, according to new research from biologists at the Australian National University (ANU) and the University f Cambridge.(根据澳大利亚国立大学(ANU)和剑桥大学的生物学家的最新研究，新荷兰的吸蜜鸟是危险时发出警报的专家。)”及第四段第一句“The technique is so effective that the authors expect to see other species adopt it. “Many other species modify alarm calls as the threat increases, but there is surprisingly little known about how fast they convey the message,” Professor Magrath said.(这项技术非常有效，作者希望看到其他物种采用它。“随着威胁的增加，许多其他物种会改变警报信号，但令人惊讶的是，很少有人知道它们传递信息的速度有多快，”马格拉斯教授说。)” 可以推断出作者对吸蜜鸟是欣赏的态度。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章的主要内容及最后一段“The researchers conducted their study in Canberra's Australian National Botanic Gardens over a period of several years. “These birds live in the Gardens and are used to having people around. This helped us to record natural interactions with their predators, such as sparrowhawks and currawongs (澳洲喜鹊),and to video the honeyeaters' responses to different alarm calls,” Professor Magrath said.( 研究人员在堪培拉的澳大利亚国家植物园进行了长达数年的研究。“这些鸟生活在花园里，已经习惯了有人在身边。这有助于我们记录它们与捕食者(如雀鹰和澳洲喜鹊)之间的自然互动，并拍摄它们对不同报警叫声的反应。”马格拉斯教授说。)”可知研究人员的发现主要是基于对吸蜜鸟对于危险信号的反应以及信号的传递的长期记录。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What makes you cry Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. _______16_______
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. _________17_________ However, the feeling is the same – your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research. ________18________Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.___19___ Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross put it, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might start weeping when they’re just asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make you feel better.______20______Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. Then how do we cope with it
B. This can be where emotions run high.
C. People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F. What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G. But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了哭是人们伤心时的正常反应，并且哭对于人们而言是有好处的。
【16题详解】
上文提到“Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our face”（被电影感动，和爱人分离，与搭档分道扬镳都会导致眼泪流下脸庞），本空承上启下，引出文章主题，所以根据下文内容，“crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. ”（在办公室或其他地方哭可能是一种有效的减压方式），可知本文主要讲哭是所有人的反应，并且哭对人们有好处，所以本空目的在于引出此话题。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上句“ it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset”（哭是我们伤心难过时自动反应），所以本空承接上句，F项句意“造成人们伤心难过的原因是各不相同的”，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上句“women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research.”（女性承认，她们一年哭72次，这平均来说比男人要多。调查者说这个结果和以前的研究结果是一致的），本空承上启下，下句“Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings ”（他们对于表达自己真实的情感会更尴尬吗），所以本空应该是讲男人哭的次数少的原因。故选G。
【19题详解】
上句提到“One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace”（我们经历情绪爆发的地点之一是在工作地），本空承接上文，应该接着讲工作地对人们情绪的影响，所以B项句意“工作地是情绪上涨之地”符合句意。故B项符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上句“ It can actually make you feel better.”（哭会让你感觉更好），本空承上启下，应该接着讲哭对于人们的好处，所以E项句意“哭能融化或清除你的消极情感”符合句意。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查主谓一致及被动语态。句意：丝绸之路的名字起源于丝绸贸易。这种贸易沿着这条路开始于中国的汉朝。空格处是定语从句，先行词是 trade。本句陈述过去的事实，主语that与谓语carry是被动关系，因此要用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was carried。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed（辗转）and turned in bed.
Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung（附 着）to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach.
Sami watched dumbstruck（呆若木鸡）.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging（汹涌） in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1：
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Sami, but failed. Sami was drifted away! He struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out to Sami but could not see him. He clung to tree tightly while the sea was all around. In hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round. (79 words)
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don’t be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.” “But Grandpa, I can’t swim!” Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sami cried in despair. Suddenly, Sami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, his Grandpa was on another tree! Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sami came down the trees and rushed to hug each other, then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude. (78 words)
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，文章记叙了萨米今年寒假来到祖父的村庄，人们砍倒了许多棕榈树，几乎没有剩下任何绿色植物。突然来了海啸，萨米和爷爷还在屋子里，萨米突然想起了母亲的话。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：“爷爷紧紧地握住萨米的手，但是一个巨大的波浪把他们分开了。”所以应该写：爷爷试图抓住萨米，但失败了。萨米被水带走了。幸运的是，爷爷在院子里发现了一棵棕榈树，他紧紧地抓住树。爷爷希望能见到萨米，于是爬到树的高处。
第二段开头是：“萨米，萨米！”爷爷哭了。“别害怕，小家伙，快来找我。”所以应该写：萨米不会游泳但是突然抓住了一颗棕榈树。他看到所有的东西都被毁得很惨；但在不远处，他爷爷在另一棵树上。很快海啸退去，爷爷和萨米都从树上下来，互相拥抱，感激地拥抱着树。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇。如：strive to；drifte away；struggle to；look around等高级词汇。长郡中学2021年高三10月联考

From Alton Towers to Legoland, our experts pick their favorite British theme parks, highlighting the best roller coasters, character-led attractions, and animal safaris (狩猎旅行).
Drayton Manor
The Staffordshire theme park includes rides for all ages but stands out for having hit on a winning formula for young families with its expanding Thomas Land section. The 286-acre site is set in woodlands but the main village is enough for little legs to explore, making it well suited to pre-and primary school children.
Paultons Family Theme Park
On the edge of New Forest National Park, in Hampshire, Paultons Family Theme Park sits in 140 acres of attractive parkland. Although overshadowed by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in terms of big rides, the park is home to Peppa Pig World, as well as 60 rides and attractions, and is best for families with young children.
Chessington World of Adventures
This park in Surrey has injected novelty (新奇) this year with the launch of its exclusive Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, raising its status as a family-friendly destination. The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals including monkey walk-throughs and the Zufari safari experience.
Legoland Windsor
If you’re looking for stomach-in-the-mouth roller coasters, Legoland is not for you. This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12, with bucket-loads to keep them happy. Now in its third decade, set in lovely grounds, the theme park still has some of the charm of the original Danish parent park, with plenty of giraffes, crocodiles and pirates made out of Lego bricks spread over the rides.
1. Which of the following is recommended if a family want to interact with animals
A. Drayton Manor
B. Paultons Family Theme Park
C. Chessington World of Adventures
D. Legoland Windsor
2. What do the four theme parks have in common
A. They’re all ideal for children.
B. They all feature thrilling big rides.
C. They’re all renewing recreational facilities.
D. They all cover a vast area of over 200 acres.
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To promote ecotourism.
B. To value family union.
C. To introduce theme parks.
D To compare tourist attractions.
B
China's teen diving sensation (轰动性人物） Quan Hongchan's family and neighbours have been disturbed by tourists hoping to get social media “likes”， local media say. Ever since the 14-year-old won the Olympic gold after delivering three perfect-10 dives, fans have rushed to her Maihe village home to take videos and photos. Some persistent fans are even climbing trees for a better view.
Quan has received massive support online after she said she took up diving to pay her sick mother's bills. Her story touched many people when she told reporters that she dedicated her Olympic win to her mother, who has been admitted to hospital many times after getting into a traffic accident years ago. “I want to make enough money to support her," Quan had said in Tokyo.
On China's Twitter-like platform Weibo, the hashtag(标签）“how to view Quan Hongchan's home becoming an internet photo hotspot” was viewed more than 25 million times.There was criticism over the actions of these influencers, who reportedly staked out the rural village in Guangdong province to livestream videos even after midnight. Others knocked on the door to take selfies with her family members, while some tried to steal jackfruit from her home as gifts, local media said. “If people are going to her house just to get followers, that's unacceptable. Her mother is sick. She shouldn't be disturbed,” one Weibo comment read.
The village has now been closed to visitors as the large crowds didn't follow Covid control measures, reports say. Due to her years of training, the farmer's daughter said she had never been to a zoo or amusement park. Her comments made a safari and amusement park in Guangzhou decide to announce free annual membership cards to all Chinese diving team members. Other businesses and donors have come forth offering cash and gifts, including her favourite spicy street snack latiao-made from flour that is cooked and seasoned. Her father has reportedly declined cash gifts, and thanked donors for their “kind hearts”。
4. Why is Quan Hongchan committed to winning the Olympic gold
A. Her love for the diving team and country.
B. Her pursuit for the fame and wealth.
C. Her desire to pay for her mother's medical bills.
D. Her gratitude for the support of fans.
5. What does the underlined phrase “staked out” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Monitor.
B. Strike.
C. Squeeze.
D. Cater.
6. What can we infer from the text
A. Businesses and donors have their own calculation.
B. The intention of influencers and tourists varies.
C. The closure of Quan's village is due to the online viewers' concern.
D. The privacy of Quan's family and villagers hasn't been fully respected.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Quan Hongchan's inspiring story catches on throughout the country
B. Social media is a double-edged sword for Quan
C. The teen diving star won the Olympic gold
D. The teen diving star's village was jam-packed by fans
C
China is investigating how to build an ultra-large spacecraft that is up to 0. 6 mile （1 kilometer) long. But how practical is the idea
The project is part of a wider call for research proposals from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a funding agency managed by the country's Ministry of Science and Technology. A research outline posted on the foundation's website described such enormous spaceships as “major strategic aerospace equipment for the future use of space resources, exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and long- term living in orbit”。
The foundation wants scientists to conduct research into new, lightweight design methods that could limit the amount of construction material that has to be thrown into orbit, and new techniques for safely assembling such massive structures in space. If funded, the practicability study would run for five years and have a budget of 15 million yuan ($2.3 million).
The project might sound like science fiction, but former NASA chief technologist Mason Peck said the idea isn't entirely off the wall, and the challenge is more a question of engineering than fundamental science. “I think it's entirely practical,” Peck, now a professor of aerospace engineering at Cornell University, told Live Science. “I would describe the problems here not as unconquerable obstacles, but rather problems of scale. ” By far the biggest challenge would be the price tag, noted Peck, due to the huge cost of launching objects and materials into space. The International Space Station （ISS), which is only 361 feet (110 meters) wide at its widest point according to NASA, cost roughly $ 100 billion to build, Peck said, so constructing something 10 times larger would strain even the most generous national space budget.
Much depends on what kind of structure the Chinese plan to build, though. The ISS is packed with equipment and is designed to accommodate humans, which significantly increases its mass. “If we're talking about something that is simply long and not also heavy then it's a different story,” Peck said.
8 Which of the following statements about the massive spacecraft is TRUE
A. The design of the spacecraft has already been in place.
B. It is directly led by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
C. It is aimed at further exploring the space and human's future.
D. A lot of research has been conducted regarding the spacecraft.
9. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The requirements of the practicability study.
B. The new approach to construction material.
C. How to get funded by the Foundation.
D. The revolutionary methods of constructing the spacecraft.
10. What can be inferred from Peck's perspective
A. There are still major doubts about the practicality of the spacecraft.
B. The structure of the spacecraft may determine the cost of the project.
C. The ISS has already successfully completed its historical mission.
D. The project and the current ISS are likely to have a lot in common.
11. What is most probably mentioned in the following paragraph
A. The problems facing the construction of the spacecraft.
B. Future researches into the other giant space projects.
C. Other approaches to reducing the cost of the spacecraft.
D. The future promising application of the spacecraft.
D
New Holland honeyeaters are experts at sounding the alarm when there's danger, according to new research from biologists at the Australian National University (ANU) and the University f Cambridge.
Study authors, Dr Jessica McLachlan and Professor Rob Magrath, found honeyeaters can spread the word in the blink of an eye, using a two-stage alarm. It's particularly effective when they are threatened by fast-moving birds of prey. “When a hawk(鹰）is swooping down, its target has only a fraction of a second to flee to cover-a split second can make the difference between life and death," Dr McLachlan said. “But animals often signal urgent danger using repeated notes, which makes sure others hear the warning but it takes a long time to deliver.
“So there's a problem. How to send a lightning-fast message in a long call ” New Holland honeyeaters solve this problem elegantly. They “front-load” information about urgency into the first note of their alarm call, so other honeyeaters can respond quickly. The clever honeyeaters follow this up with more notes to intensify the message and signal how long to remain hidden. “They use a long call, with lots of notes, to make sure the message is heard,” Professor Magrath said. “And the more notes, the more urgent the danger. But they also modify the first note to indicate if it's necessary to take immediate cover. So it's a two-part message that is quick, reliable and informative.”
The technique is so effective that the authors expect to see other species adopt it. “Many other species modify alarm calls as the threat increases, but there is surprisingly little known about how fast they convey the message,” Professor Magrath said.
The researchers conducted their study in Canberra's Australian National Botanic Gardens over a period of several years. “These birds live in the Gardens and are used to having people around. This helped us to record natural interactions with their predators, such as sparrowhawks and currawongs (澳洲喜鹊),and to video the honeyeaters' responses to different alarm calls,” Professor Magrath said.

What makes you cry Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. _______16_______
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. _________17_________ However, the feeling is the same – your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research. ________18________Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.___19___ Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross put it, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might start weeping when they’re just asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make you feel better.______20______Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. Then how do we cope with it
B. This can be where emotions run high.
C. People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F. What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G. But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women

Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed（辗转）and turned in bed.
Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung（附 着）to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach.
Sami watched dumbstruck（呆若木鸡）.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging（汹涌） in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1：
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried. “Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.”
