The next time you find an excuse to abandon your ambition, think of Chris Nikic. On November 7, 2020, 21 year old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to attempt and complete an_Ironman. Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2 mile marathon—in under 17 hours!
The event, which took place in Panama City, Florida, began early in the morning with a two lap swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris, who was tied to his coach for safety, completed the course well within 2 hour, 20 minute timelimit.
The 112 mile bike ride, which Chris rode alone, proved a little more challenging. Not accustomed to drinking water while riding, he was forced to make multiple stops. To make matters worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break. He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill. Despite these setbacks, Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5：30 pm cut off time.
The competition's final challenge—a two lap 26.2 mile run along the waterfront—started smoothly. However, Chris was tired out by the tenth mile. But with encouragement from his coach and cheering bystanders, the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 9 seconds—almost 15 minutes under the 17 hour timelimit.
Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent surgery at just five months old. He was too weak to walk independently until he was four. Due to his Down Syndrome, every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the possibilities.
To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory. It's about being an example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.
4．What does the underlined part “an Ironman” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. A competition. B. An organization.
C. A person. D. An artwork.

A. Romantic. B. Eventful.
C. Pleasant. D. Smooth.
6．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Stimulate readers' interest.
B. Introduce a new topic.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Add some background information.
7．What can we learn from Chris's story
A. Winning is everything.
B. No dream is unachievable.
C. Life is full of choices.
D. Misfortune is a barrier to success.

If you walk through a park in the morning, you'll see a series of beautiful movements performed in a slow, focused manner with deep breathing. While this may be a common sight for many, this practice was recently given remarkable acknowledgment.
On Dec 17, China's tai chi was officially listed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Tai chi is “a traditional physical practice characterized by relaxed, circular (环形的) movements that work in harmony with breath regulation and the cultivation of a righteous (正直的) and neutral mind”， noted China Daily. The origins of tai chi can be traced to Wenxian County in Henan Province in the mid 17th century. Now it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice.
Tai chi can be practiced any time and anywhere without equipment. It is a practical way for one to further balance, motor control and rhythm of movement. However, for many, it is more than just exercise.
“Tai chi is not just a sport to make people fit, but also contains Chinese culture and philosophy that can make people peaceful，” Yan Shuangjun, a researcher of tai chi, said.
Marleni Calcina from Peru is an example of the many people who have benefited from tai chi. She has practiced tai chi for more than 10 years. For her, it's a way of life. Tai chi has taught her the value of “going slowly”. She once felt great stress at work and in her life, but that began to change thanks to tai chi, which helped her “gain peace and inner harmony”， she said. “For me now, practicing tai chi is like speaking with my soul.”
8．Where can the passage probably be found
A. In a chemistry paper. B. In a medical report. C. In a guidebook. D. From a website.
9．From the passage, what can we learn about tai chi
A. Tai chi has spread to more than 150 countries.
B. Tai chi dates back to the 1700s.
C. Tai chi's movements are relaxing and complex.
D. Tai chi benefits more than physical health.
10．Which of the following words can describe Yan Shuangjun's attitude to tai chi
A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Casual. D. Cautious.
11．Which is the best title for the passage
A. Heritage of Harmony B. The Value of Tai Chi

Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented—receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.”
Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, an air pollutant that causes cancers, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great, either.
Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called “share washing” that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as “a way to share rides and limit car ownership.” and yet “it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.”
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step—that's wearing what is already in the closet.
12．What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental
A. Approving. B. Unfavorable. C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
13．The Uber example in paragraph 6 indicates that ________.
A. rental services are on the rise
B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber
C. renting clothes might waste more than expected
D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion
14．The author suggests that we should ________.
A. give up renting any clothing
B. purchase inexpensive clothes
C. rent clothes rather than buy them
D. make full use of clothes we've possessed
15．What is the passage mainly about
A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.
B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.
C. Renting clothes is not that eco friendly.
D. Renting clothes business is in a dilemma.

You probably already know that exercising is necessary to preserve muscle strength, keep your heart strong, and help you keep a healthy body weight. __1__ “There's a lot of science behind this，” says Dr. Scott McGinnis, an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
Exercise improves your memory and thinking skills both directly and indirectly. It acts directly on the brain by encouraging the growth of new blood vessels (血管) in the brain. __2__ Besides, many studies have suggested that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory are larger in size in people who exercise than in people who don't.
Exercise can also improve memory and thinking skills indirectly. __3__ Problems in these areas frequently cause or contribute to memory loss and a lack of problem solving skills.
Is one exercise better than another in terms of brain health __4__ Almost all of the research so far has looked at walking.“But it's likely that another form of exercise that gets your heart pumping might produce similar benefits，”explains Dr. McGinnis. A study found that tai chi showed the potential to help older adults in planning, working memory, attention and problem solving. That may be because tai chi involves slow, focused movements and requires learning and memorizing new skills as well as movement patterns.
Dr. McGinnis recommends establishing exercise as a habit. Several studies have shown that it takes about six months to start getting the benefits of exercise. __5__
A. We don't know the answer to this question.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新兴的流行产业——服装租赁业，说明了该行业存在的一些缺点，指出租衣服并不环保，建议人们最好穿已经在衣柜里的衣服。
12．What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental
A. Approving. B. Unfavorable.
C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
答案与解析 B 观点态度题。根据第二段中的“Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems”可知，Elizabeth Cline通过调查得出的结论是租衣服并不像看上去那么环保；再根据第四段她引用具体的数字指出在服装租赁过程中碳的排放量比在实体店购买、洗涤过程中所排放的量要大，由此可知，她并不支持服装租赁这种做法。approving “赞同的”； unfavorable “反对的”； objective “客观的”； enthusiastic “热心的”。故选B。
13．The Uber example in paragraph 6 indicates that ________.
A. rental services are on the rise
B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber
C. renting clothes might waste more than expected
D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“There's something called ‘share washing’ that makes people waste more ... and yet ‘it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.’”可知，有一种叫作“共享洗涤”的东西，让人们浪费更多的东西，因为人们认为只要一种产品或服务是共享的那这种产品或服务就是环保的。优步就是一个例子，它被宣传为“共享乘车和限制车辆拥有量”的方式，然而优步已经被证明它不鼓励人们走路、骑车和乘坐公共交通工具，所以作者举优步为例是为了说明租赁服装和优步一样比人们料想的要更加浪费资源。故选C。
14．The author suggests that we should ________.
A. give up renting any clothing
B. purchase inexpensive clothes
C. rent clothes rather than buy them
D. make full use of clothes we've possessed
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“There's an even better step—that's wearing what is already in the closet.”可知，作者认为一个更好的办法是穿已经在衣柜里的衣服，即利用已有的衣服，不要过多地购买和租赁衣服。故选D。
15．What is the passage mainly about
A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.
B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.
C. Renting clothes is not that eco friendly.
D. Renting clothes business is in a dilemma.
答案与解析 C 主旨大意题。通读文章可知，文章通过Elizabeth Cline进行的调查指出服装租赁业存在许多缺点，如运输时会增加碳的排放量，干洗会对环境造成污染。故本文主要讲述了租衣服是不环保的。故选C。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。主要介绍了运动不仅能增强体质，还能提升记忆力和思考力。
1．F 通过文章第一段第一句可知，锻炼对保持肌肉力量、保持心脏强壮和帮助你保持健康体重是必要的。F项进一步补充说明了锻炼的优点，且设空后一句中的“this”指代说明的是F项中的“exercise can also help improve your memory and thinking skills”，本句为本篇主题句。剩下的各段就本句内容进行具体阐释。故选F项。
2．C 通过该段前两句可知，锻炼可以直接或间接地提高你的记忆力和思维能力，还能促进大脑中新血管的生长。这都说明了锻炼对大脑的益处。C项中的even为语篇衔接标志词，其使用使得上下文呈递进关系。故C项“It even promotes the overall health of new brain cells”，说明运动可以促进新脑细胞的整体健康，是锻炼对大脑的另一益处。故选C项。
3．D 根据空前一句“锻炼也可以间接地提高记忆力和思维能力”和后文一句“这些领域的问题经常导致或促成记忆丧失和缺乏解决问题的能力”可知，设空处应介绍锻炼对某些方面的影响。故选D项“锻炼能改善睡眠，减少压力和焦虑”，D项中的“sleep”和“stress and anxiety”，呼应空后一句中的these areas, it呼应前一句中的exercise，且D项句式与空前一句的句式相同。
4．A 上文“Is one exercise better than another in terms of brain health？”提出了问题，A项中的“this question”指代的是该问题。故选A项。
5．E 根据最后一段中第二句“大约需要六个月的时间才能开始获得锻炼的好处”可知，锻炼需要坚持才能见效，所以要耐心等待结果。E项中的he指的是前文提到的Dr. McGinnis。故选E项。
