As an engineer, building things was Liang Kaiyu’s hobby in his spare time. When he saw that a foreign engineer had developed an autonomous e-bike, he decided to build one himself. But when testing his self-built automatic electric motor in January 2020, an explosion occurred, and he lost his left leg below the knee. About two months after the accident, he got his prosthetic limb (假肢).
On short-video platforms, Liang saw many people with physical challenges who live no differently from other people. They ride bicycles, dance and even ski, using their prosthetic limbs. Inspired by them, Liang started to post videos about his daily life to inspire more people. Since then, he has used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.
He tried to upgrade his high-tech prosthesis, including fitting a shock absorber and putting in a charger port. One of the latest upgrades is the addition of colored LED lights to his running blade. The LED lights can be connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone and change color as they react to music. Through design, modeling and manufacturing, he made a device that can connect the socket (承窝) of the leg with the prosthetic knee. With the small device, he can take the leg off in one second. Moreover, to better learn about the structure and system of the prosthetics, he took apart some secondhand prosthetic limbs that were made in China and abroad, which cost him a lot of money.
“These high-tech prosthetics are comfortable and safer to wear. They can boost confidence with every step. But the only thing is that the cost is unaffordable for most families,” Liang says. He adds that due to the small group of consumers, there are few companies in China investing in the research and development of such prosthetics. To advance functional performance and help amputees (截肢人士) maintain or regain their freedom of movement, Liang has provided his experience and suggestions for several prosthetics companies.
“If there is a good opportunity, I want to make high-tech prosthetics accessible and affordable to more amputees in China,” Liang says.
4. What happened to Liang in January 2020
A. He fell off an autonomous e-bike. B. He got injured in an accidental explosion.
C. He suffered from serious knee pain. D. He lost his left leg in a motor race.
5. What does the underlined word“device”in Paragraph 3 mean
A. A kind of LED light that has been designed to do a particular job.
B. A Bluetooth that has been designed to do a particular job.
C. A piece of equipment that has been designed to do a particular job
D. A smartphone that has been designed to do a particular job.
6. What is a problem with the high-tech prosthetics according to Liang
A. They give users limited freedom of movement. B. They take much time to produce.
C. They are quite heavy for amputees to wear. D. They are too expensive.
7. What words best describe Liang
A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and patient.
C. Generous and cautious. D. Honest and courageous.
C
Even if you are not a football fan you are sure to be impressed by the Lusail Stadium, the main stadium for Qatar (卡塔尔) World Cup 2022. The stadium catches peoples’ attention with its bold design and creative technique, which was inspired by the hand-crafted bowls found all across the Arab world, and the Fanar lanterns found in the region.
The symbolic stadium was constructed by the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC). “The stadium is the most international World Cup stadium with the largest and most complex systems, the highest design standards (标准) and the most advanced technology,” said Li Bai, the Chinese engineer from CRCC who was in charge of the project.
The key to the Lusail Stadium’s design is its steel (钢) structure and roof which has the same amount of steel as three Eiffel Towers. Made of the best Polvtetrafluoroethvene (聚四氟Z烯) material, the stadium’s roof protects the stadium from hot winds, keeps out dust and allows in enough light for the grass on the football field to grow, while providing shade to reduce the pressure on the stadium’s cooling systems.
The main structure mainly consists of V-shape trusses (桁架). This design solution reduced the amount of steel needed by 12000 tons. Designed using the team’s innovatively developed BIM — an architecture information modeling database — the Lusail Stadium uses 40 percent less water than traditional buildings thanks to measures such as systems that use collected rainwater and an improved water-saving sprinkler irrigation (喷灌) system, according to the construction team from CRCC.
Making full use of China’s advantages in the infrastructure (基础设施) industry, Chinese companies have provided a full set of production chain solutions for the design and construction of the stadium. The stadium reflects China’s rich experience in designing creative, sustainable and reliable landmark buildings such as the “Bird’s Nest” and the “Ice Ribbon”.
8. What inspired the design of the Lusail Stadium
A. The advanced technology.
B. The requests of football fans.
C. Native bowls and local lanterns.
D. The typical hand-crafted cups in Arab.
9. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The features of the stadium’s roof.
B. The cooling systems of the stadium.
C. The design standards of the stadium.
D. The building materials of the stadium.
10. What advantage does the Lusial Stadium have over traditional buildings
A. It uses steel structure to build.
B. It has lower water consumption.
C. It helps deal with extreme weather.
D. It saves electricity and heat energy.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To stress the importance of the Lusial Stadium.
B. To call on people to pay attention to green architecture.
C. To introduce the main stadium of Qatar World Cup 2022.
D. To show the development of Chinese construction technology.
D
Many ocean birds fly long distances to avoid severe storms. But not the streaked shearwaters (条纹鹱) ! A new study led by Professor Ken Yoda of Japan’s Nagoya University states that the brave seabirds often fly right into the eye of the storm to survive. This strange behavior — not reported in any other bird species—might help streaked shearwaters survive strong storms.
The scientists analyzed 11 years of data collected from GPS trackers attached to the wings of 401 shearwaters nesting on Japan’s Awashima Island. By combining this information with data on wind speeds during typhoons, scientists discovered that shearwaters that were caught out in the open ocean when a storm blew in would ride tailwinds (顺风) around the edges of the storm. However, others that found themselves sandwiched between land and the eye of a strong hurricane would sometimes change their usual flight patterns and head toward the center of the storm. Scientists found that 75 birds chose to fly during ten typhoons or tropical storms. Some even chased the storm’s eye for up to 8 hours!
The researchers say shearwaters can survive fierce storms. The strong winds over water enable the birds to glide (滑翔) for long distances without flapping their wings too much, saving energy. While skilled in flight, shearwaters are clumsy on land. The birds have a hard time taking off, leaving them at risk of predators like crows and cats. These may explain why some shearwaters prefer flying into the storm to survive. But to do that, the birds need to know where the land is so they can avoid it. The adult shearwaters seem to have developed a mental map to guide them in the right direction.
While this is the first time this behavior has been spotted in any bird species, flying with the winds could be a common strategy for preserving energy during hurricanes, says Andrew Farnsworth, an ornithologist at Cornell University who was not involved in the study. “It might be contrary to common sense,” he says. “But from the perspective of bird behavior, it makes a lot of sense.”
12. What is the new study about
A. The methods of saving rare bird species.
B. The flying distance of streaked shearwaters.
C. The impact of extreme weather on seabirds.
D. The behavior of streaked shearwaters surviving storms.
13. When shearwaters find themselves in between land and the storm’s eye, they would ________.
A. fly to the center of the storm B. find rock cracks and holes as shelters
C. try their best to fly far away from the storm D. ride tailwinds around the edges of the storm
14. In paragraph 3, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a theory B. explain a fact C. make a prediction D. present an example
15. What is Andrew Farnsworth’s attitude to the new study
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.

“You don’t have to come, you know,” Lee whispered angrily.
A few months ago, Dad had suggested taking Lee and his friends on a day trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was meant to be boys only, but then Father decided at the last minute to take Frankie along. Now she was baggage— her brother’s unwanted baggage.
Dad said, “Listen up. You need to take responsibility for your own equipment.” Frankie and the boys dutifully checked their equipment. Frankie looked at Dad’s kit. There was a compass, a survival blanket, first-aid kit, extra water, matches, and more.
By the time they reached the parking lot, it was mid-morning and there were few people around. Frankie and her dad studied the map while the boys hung around.
It was raining lightly when they set out — the boys racing ahead, followed by Dad and Frankie. The trail stretched before them, disappearing into the forest like a path in a fairy tale.
They climbed steadily, the day brightening around them. All around, there was nothing but trees, the bright-blue sky overhead, and glimpses of the magnificent Mummy Ranges.
When they reached an alpine meadow (高山草甸), Dad announced it was lunchtime. Frankie took off her backpack and gazed at the vastness of the landscape surrounding her.
After lunch, Frankie followed behind, determined to put some distance between herself and the boys. Frankie watched Adam climb up the rock, closely followed by Lee and Damien. Dad carefully pulled himself up after the boys, but as he went to stand up, the corner of the rock broke into pieces, and he lost his balance. Although he fell only a short distance, he landed awkwardly and hard. Frankie heard the air go out of him before he prepared another breath to yell.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2，请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Dad fell!” Frankie shouted, her voice edged with tears.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not too much later, Lee and Adam were back with a park keeper.

As an engineer, building things was Liang Kaiyu’s hobby in his spare time. When he saw that a foreign engineer had developed an autonomous e-bike, he decided to build one himself. But when testing his self-built automatic electric motor in January 2020, an explosion occurred, and he lost his left leg below the knee. About two months after the accident, he got his prosthetic limb (假肢).
On short-video platforms, Liang saw many people with physical challenges who live no differently from other people. They ride bicycles, dance and even ski, using their prosthetic limbs. Inspired by them, Liang started to post videos about his daily life to inspire more people. Since then, he has used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.
He tried to upgrade his high-tech prosthesis, including fitting a shock absorber and putting in a charger port. One of the latest upgrades is the addition of colored LED lights to his running blade. The LED lights can be connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone and change color as they react to music. Through design, modeling and manufacturing, he made a device that can connect the socket (承窝) of the leg with the prosthetic knee. With the small device, he can take the leg off in one second. Moreover, to better learn about the structure and system of the prosthetics, he took apart some secondhand prosthetic limbs that were made in China and abroad, which cost him a lot of money.
“These high-tech prosthetics are comfortable and safer to wear. They can boost confidence with every step. But the only thing is that the cost is unaffordable for most families,” Liang says. He adds that due to the small group of consumers, there are few companies in China investing in the research and development of such prosthetics. To advance functional performance and help amputees (截肢人士) maintain or regain their freedom of movement, Liang has provided his experience and suggestions for several prosthetics companies.
“If there is a good opportunity, I want to make high-tech prosthetics accessible and affordable to more amputees in China,” Liang says.
4. What happened to Liang in January 2020
A. He fell off an autonomous e-bike. B. He got injured in an accidental explosion.
C. He suffered from serious knee pain. D. He lost his left leg in a motor race.
5. What does the underlined word“device”in Paragraph 3 mean
A. A kind of LED light that has been designed to do a particular job.
B. A Bluetooth that has been designed to do a particular job.
C. A piece of equipment that has been designed to do a particular job
D. A smartphone that has been designed to do a particular job.
6. What is a problem with the high-tech prosthetics according to Liang
A. They give users limited freedom of movement. B. They take much time to produce.
C. They are quite heavy for amputees to wear. D. They are too expensive.
7. What words best describe Liang
A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and patient.

Even if you are not a football fan you are sure to be impressed by the Lusail Stadium, the main stadium for Qatar (卡塔尔) World Cup 2022. The stadium catches peoples’ attention with its bold design and creative technique, which was inspired by the hand-crafted bowls found all across the Arab world, and the Fanar lanterns found in the region.
The symbolic stadium was constructed by the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC). “The stadium is the most international World Cup stadium with the largest and most complex systems, the highest design standards (标准) and the most advanced technology,” said Li Bai, the Chinese engineer from CRCC who was in charge of the project.
The key to the Lusail Stadium’s design is its steel (钢) structure and roof which has the same amount of steel as three Eiffel Towers. Made of the best Polvtetrafluoroethvene (聚四氟Z烯) material, the stadium’s roof protects the stadium from hot winds, keeps out dust and allows in enough light for the grass on the football field to grow, while providing shade to reduce the pressure on the stadium’s cooling systems.
The main structure mainly consists of V-shape trusses (桁架). This design solution reduced the amount of steel needed by 12000 tons. Designed using the team’s innovatively developed BIM — an architecture information modeling database — the Lusail Stadium uses 40 percent less water than traditional buildings thanks to measures such as systems that use collected rainwater and an improved water-saving sprinkler irrigation (喷灌) system, according to the construction team from CRCC.
Making full use of China’s advantages in the infrastructure (基础设施) industry, Chinese companies have provided a full set of production chain solutions for the design and construction of the stadium. The stadium reflects China’s rich experience in designing creative, sustainable and reliable landmark buildings such as the “Bird’s Nest” and the “Ice Ribbon”.
8. What inspired the design of the Lusail Stadium
A. The advanced technology.
B. The requests of football fans.
C. Native bowls and local lanterns.
D. The typical hand-crafted cups in Arab.
9. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The features of the stadium’s roof.
B. The cooling systems of the stadium.
C. The design standards of the stadium.
D. The building materials of the stadium.
10. What advantage does the Lusial Stadium have over traditional buildings
A. It uses steel structure to build.
B. It has lower water consumption.
C. It helps deal with extreme weather.
D. It saves electricity and heat energy.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage

Many ocean birds fly long distances to avoid severe storms. But not the streaked shearwaters (条纹鹱) ! A new study led by Professor Ken Yoda of Japan’s Nagoya University states that the brave seabirds often fly right into the eye of the storm to survive. This strange behavior — not reported in any other bird species—might help streaked shearwaters survive strong storms.
The scientists analyzed 11 years of data collected from GPS trackers attached to the wings of 401 shearwaters nesting on Japan’s Awashima Island. By combining this information with data on wind speeds during typhoons, scientists discovered that shearwaters that were caught out in the open ocean when a storm blew in would ride tailwinds (顺风) around the edges of the storm. However, others that found themselves sandwiched between land and the eye of a strong hurricane would sometimes change their usual flight patterns and head toward the center of the storm. Scientists found that 75 birds chose to fly during ten typhoons or tropical storms. Some even chased the storm’s eye for up to 8 hours!
The researchers say shearwaters can survive fierce storms. The strong winds over water enable the birds to glide (滑翔) for long distances without flapping their wings too much, saving energy. While skilled in flight, shearwaters are clumsy on land. The birds have a hard time taking off, leaving them at risk of predators like crows and cats. These may explain why some shearwaters prefer flying into the storm to survive. But to do that, the birds need to know where the land is so they can avoid it. The adult shearwaters seem to have developed a mental map to guide them in the right direction.
While this is the first time this behavior has been spotted in any bird species flying with the winds could be a common strategy for preserving energy during hurricanes, says Andrew Farnsworth, an ornithologist at Cornell University who was not involved in the study. “It might be contrary to common sense,” he says. “But from the perspective of bird behavior, it makes a lot of sense.”
12. What is the new study about
A. The methods of saving rare bird species.
B. The flying distance of streaked shearwaters.
C. The impact of extreme weather on seabirds.
D. The behavior of streaked shearwaters surviving storms.
13. When shearwaters find themselves in between land and the storm’s eye, they would ________.
A. fly to the center of the storm B. find rock cracks and holes as shelters
C. try their best to fly far away from the storm D. ride tailwinds around the edges of the storm
14. In paragraph 3, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a theory B. explain a fact C. make a prediction D. present an example
15. What is Andrew Farnsworth’s attitude to the new study
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.

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。
“You don’t have to come, you know,” Lee whispered angrily.
A few months ago, Dad had suggested taking Lee and his friends on a day trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was meant to be boys only, but then Father decided at the last minute to take Frankie along. Now she was baggage— her brother’s unwanted baggage.
Dad said, “Listen up. You need to take responsibility for your own equipment.” Frankie and the boys dutifully checked their equipment. Frankie looked at Dad’s kit. There was a compass, a survival blanket, first-aid kit, extra water, matches, and more.
By the time they reached the parking lot, it was mid-morning and there were few people around. Frankie and her dad studied the map while the boys hung around.
It was raining lightly when they set out — the boys racing ahead, followed by Dad and Frankie. The trail stretched before them, disappearing into the forest like a path in a fairy tale.
They climbed steadily, the day brightening around them. All around, there was nothing but trees, the bright-blue sky overhead, and glimpses of the magnificent Mummy Ranges.
When they reached an alpine meadow (高山草甸), Dad announced it was lunchtime. Frankie took off her backpack and gazed at the vastness of the landscape surrounding her.
After lunch, Frankie followed behind, determined to put some distance between herself and the boys. Frankie watched Adam climb up the rock, closely followed by Lee and Damien. Dad carefully pulled himself up after the boys, but as he went to stand up, the corner of the rock broke into pieces, and he lost his balance. Although he fell only a short distance, he landed awkwardly and hard. Frankie heard the air go out of him before he prepared another breath to yell.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2，请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Dad fell!” Frankie shouted, her voice edged with tears.

Not too much later, Lee and Adam were back with a park keeper.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Dad fell!” Frankie shouted, her voice edged with tears. Lee and his friends heard the cry and hurriedly came back to Frankie and his father. Dad could hardly breathe normally and lost his strength to move any little. Seeing that, Lee gave first aid quickly, with the help of his friends. But Dad remained motionless as if he had been planted on the ground. Without hesitation, Frankie left the scene, heading for the foot of the hill.
Not too much later, Lee and Adam were back with a park keeper. The keeper checked Dad’s situation and quickly called 911. A few minutes later, 4 medical workers came here, with a stretcher to carry Dad to the ambulance already waiting there. Dad was rescued and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went home. Lee felt so proud of Frankie’s bravery, wit and calmness as well as so ashamed of not wanting her to go with them at beginning.
