Yellowstone National Park, located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, was established as the first national park in the United States. The park is a popular destination for visitors who engical (生态的) tourism as it offers forests, mountains, and many ecosystems to explore. Some of Yellowstone's most well-known landmarks are its geothermal (地热的) hot springs and geysers (间歇泉), the most famous of which is named Old Faithful.
Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They arranged to stay at one of the park's many convenient campsites. For their camping trip, they brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler of food and drinks. They set up their tents immediately upon arriving at their campsite.
During their trip, Lisa and her friends hiked the many trails (小道) of the park, exploring its natural surroundings. In the forest, they saw a lot of local wildlife. Lisa was blown away by a family of grizzly bears, some gray wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead. Unexpectedly, she seemed to quite enjoy being in such a great place. They were well protected. Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of some of Yellowstone's natural waterfalls.
Since Yellowstone contains many hot springs and the world's largest area of active geysers, Lisa and her friends visited many different geyser sites. They even spent an afternoon swimming in Yellowstone's Boiling River. Of all of the sites, Lisa and her friends agreed that Old Faithful was the most impressive.

At Seattle's Garfield High School, a dozen (十多个) basketball players are practicing. These guys take the game seriously at this school. A half-dozen coaches keep everyone focused as Garfield prepares for a Saturday playoff game. In the middle of all this is Brandon Roy, the former NBA All-Star and Garfield's greatest player. Roy is the head coach.
Bad knees forced him out of pro basketball well before his time. Four years after his forced NBA retirement, he began coaching at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School in 2017 with no background whatsoever and won a state championship. He moved to his alma mater (母校) the following year and got another state title with a once-beaten team. “Really the thing that brought me to coaching was I missed basketball,” Roy said.
After taking 2019 off from coaching to deal with personal issues, Roy returned and has his team pointed at state again. He owns a 78-5 coaching record.
With his success, others frequently discuss whether Roy wants to move up the ranks as he did as a player. “My ultimate goal is not to coach in the NBA but to build a real strong foundation at my alma mater. I don't feel challenged to make it to the next level. I feel challenged right here to make it at this level.”
As practice comes to a close, Roy gathers his players around him and his coaches and they talk about the game ahead. Before everyone heads home, he has them shake hands. Players and players. Coaches and players. It's a show of respect and togetherness.
Mostly, he just listened to his mother and followed her insightful direction to become a topflight coach. “My mom gave me the best advice — she said keep your ego (自我) out of it,” Roy said. “She told me to forget what I had achieved in the NBA and be down-to-earth. She trusted that I'd be pretty good at it.”
28. Why does Brandon Roy show up at court
A. To prepare for a game as a player.
B. To coach a student basketball team.
C. To look for future basketball players.
D. To select former NBA players as assistants.
29. What happened to Brandon Roy in 2018
A. He was badly injured.
B. He was forced to retire.
C. He led a team to success.
D. He gave up his basketball career.
30. What is Brandon Roy's final goal
A. Going back to the NBA as a professional player.
B. Being a professional coach in an NBA team.
C. Improving the basketball level of his alma mater's team.
D. Becoming the greatest basketball player of his alma mater.
31. What lesson did Brandon Roy's mother give him
A. Try to trust others. B. Learn from the best.
C. Don't become too proud. D. Never give up on dreams.
D
When James Haskell started playing professional rugby football, technology's influence was very limited. One of its first and important uses within the game, he says, was just urine testing (尿检). “A lot has changed since then. Now all the players wear GPS heart-rate monitors,” the former England and Wasps ruby union player says. Data and technology have become important parts of a professional sports team and its players' lives, Haskell says.
But this is only the beginning.
“New 5G will bring a whole set of new devices to the sports industry and the connectivity of supply chains that isn't possible today,” explains Scott Petty, the chief technology officer of Vodafone UK. Vodafone's recent research shows 70 per cent of decision-makers in the sports industry believe it is behind other industries in adopting new technology.
However, things are changing gradually. The research suggests that 76 per cent of sports leaders say new 5G technology will drive innovation ( 革新) within their organisations. According to research, sport is an area where new 5G will have a huge impact. It has the ability to transform the fan experience and help athletes improve their fitness and training programmes. Around 74 per cent of sports leaders believe 5G will help meet rising fan expectations.
Haskell is looking forward to seeing what 5G will enable in the future. Vodafone's new 5G network was launched ( 推 出) in July. At the launch, two Wasps players demonstrated an innovative use of the tech when they conducted a joint training session, despite being 100 miles apart. At an event in London, Will Rowlands tackled (擒抱摔倒) a bag and almost at the same time, through wearable devices, De Jongh felt the force of the tackle.
Going forwards, Haskell expects that players will be able to quantify (量化) their performance in new ways. The key to this The ability to read realtime data and make training programmes completely personalised. Haskell says: “This ability will be awesome and you'll suddenly be able to quantify everything!”
This will be game-changing.
32. What does Haskell say about the early use of technology in rugby football
A. It mainly focused on performance data collecting.
B. It changed his attitude towards rugby football.
C. It excited people's attention to rugby football.
D. It made an impact only to a small extent.
33. What can we learn from Vodafone's recent research
A. The sports industry should find a new way to meet fan expectations.
B. The sports industry plays a leading part in adopting new technology.
C. Most sports leaders have a very positive response to new 5G technology.
D. New 5G technology will be widely used in the sports industry very soon.
34. How did the demonstration of Vodafone's new 5G network turn out
A. It was a real success.
B. It raised doubts among players.
C. It made Vodafone world-famous.
D. It fell far short of the expectations.
35. What does the underlined word “awesome” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Unnecessary. B. Impressive. C. Personal. D. Impossible.

Have you ever been misunderstood (误解) by someone you care about In my first year in high school, I had a good friend. We got along with each other very well and we often talked about our life and discussed the problems we had in school. We always shared our joys and sadnesses.
Every time I was in a bad mood (心情) or didn't do well on a test, she would encourage me and make me feel relieved. I also listened to her patiently when she got into trouble. We cared about each other so much that we thought of each other as part of our families. Both of us had the same interest in our free time. We enjoyed enriching our knowledge by reading articles in many different fields on blogs on the Internet. And blogging also became one of the important ways for us to communicate with each other. Sometimes we would post something that we weren't willing to say face to face on our blogs. And the next time we turned on the computer, we would know what had happened to each other these days and also understand each other more through the blog.
But one night I got an e-mail from her. In it she told me that she felt very disappointed with me and she didn't want to be my friend anymore! I was very shocked at that time and had no idea about what had made her so angry. So I called her back immediately, but no one answered the phone. I was so confused and didn't know what to do. I thought about the last time we had chatted with each other and couldn't find anything wrong. So I turned on my computer and read her blog, hoping to figure out what had happened to her. Suddenly, when I read an article about some other friends, I realized what had gone wrong.
注意:

第二节
One possible version:
It was because of one article on my blog the week before. In that article, I had mentioned that some of my classmates' behavior made me feel uncomfortable and angry. After reading the article, she had got so mad at me because she thought I had been talking about her in my article. But actually, I didn't talk about her. I tried hard to explain this to her, but failed. She didn't want to talk to me and even stayed away from me.
Finally, I came up with the idea of communicating with her through my blog, too. I typed my words on my blog because I was sure that she would see them. I wrote down how I felt and what I thought about her on my blog. I said I hadn't been talking about her in the article and what our friendship meant to me. After a few days, I finally got a friendly response. She sent me a letter and apologized to me. I was so happy when I saw it. And we never had an argument again.

45. B。46. A。根据两空之间的we can grow fast alone, we grow more and get closer to our goals可知,作者和队友们都意识到了尽管一个人可以成长得快,但是一群人一起努力可以成长得更多。上文中多次出现的together也提示第46空选择together,属于原词复现。
47. C。根据上文中的I was never good when I first started a sport和To be honest可知,作者一开始打水球时的状态很糟糕。
48. D。根据下文中的She once said that we're never going to be ... at first and that's okay because we can always get better可知,作者的教练经常鼓励他。
49. A。上文中的I was never good when I first started a sport提示本空选择good,属于原词复现。
50. D。51. C。根据上文中的we can always get better和两空之间的there was always somewhere I was lacking可知,教练的鼓励与教诲让作者明白了无论自己的水球技术多么熟练,自己总会有不足之处,也需要不断地提高。
52. B。根据下文中的You have to wake up early every day. You have to ... yourself every day. You have to balance your life outside of sport可知,成为一名运动员非常辛苦。下文中的hard work也提示本空选择hard,属于原词复现。
53. A。此处作者具体描述成为一名运动员的艰辛。根据上文中的wake up early every day和下文中的balance your life outside of sport可知,作者认为要成为一名运动员你需要每天都鞭策自己。push作动词,可意为“鞭策;督促”,符合语境。
54. B。根据上文中的But和下文中的simply throwing in the towel would cause me to be filled with great regret可知,尽管打水球很辛苦,但是作者永远不会选择放弃。throw in the towel为固定表达,意为“认输;承认失败;放弃努力”。
55. D。根据上文中的内容可知,作者想通过自己打水球的故事告诉读者在遇到挫折和失败时不要轻言放弃,不要让这些艰辛战胜对进步的渴望,即要不畏艰辛,不断进步。故overcome(战胜)符合语境。
第二节

本文是新闻报道。荷兰名将伊雷妮·斯豪滕在北京冬奥会勇夺三金一铜。
56. her。考查代词。设空处作介词of的宾语,用宾格,故填her。
57. with。考查介词。be satisfied with ... 满足于……。
58. elegantly。考查副词。设空处与quickly并列,作状语,用副词,故填elegantly。
59. who / that。考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,指代先行词star,且在从句中作主语,故填who或that。
60. and。考查连词。between doing sth. and doing sth. 表示同时进行两项活动。
61. planning。考查动词ing形式。be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事。
62. events。考查可数名词的复数。event意为“比赛项目”,为可数名词。根据上文中的the first and last可知,此处表示复数意义,故填复数形式events。
63. third。考查序数词。根据下文中的was可知,此处表示她的“第三枚”金牌,用序数词,故填third。
64. was attracted。考查一般过去时被动语态。根据上文中的Salt Lake 2002可知,此处描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,又因为设空处所在句的主语she与动词attract之间为被动关系,用被动语态,故填was attracted。
65. to win。考查动词不定式。a wish to do sth. 做某事的愿望或希望。
