Cherry Hill East graduate Max McGee will start his first day as a sports anchor (主持人) on ESPN’s Sports Center on Jan.31. After three years of covering Baltimore and Maryland sports for WIZ-TV, McGee’s new position will involve carrying out live interviews with athletes, reviewing previous games and looking ahead to others.
A graduate of Cherry Hill East, McGee got his first broadcast experience on a sports show. It was an idea encouraged by the late East softball coach Charlie Musumeci. “I remember him coming up to me after school,” McGee remembered. He said, “You’d probably be really good on camera. I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ” “He really started something,” McGee added, “He saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.”
In 2008, McGee had a hard time. He was recovering from a setback (挫折) he experienced when he attended Camden County College and played baseball. He dreamed of playing baseball as a career, but was cut by his team.
“My dream wasn’t over,” McGee added. “It was just a different chapter because I realized I would be able to talk about sports for a living, instead of playing them. And that was great.”
He graduated in 2012. Then he went on to study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he joined All Sports Update, a student-run program on Temple TV, and got broadcast experience through WHIP radio. After 14 months of searching for a reporter’s job, he landed a job in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as a news reporter and producer at KPLC-TV.
“I didn’t intend to be a news reporter, but looking back on it, it was probably the best thing that ever happened in my career,” McGee noted.
His advice for kids who might want to be sports anchors one day is to stop worrying about which school to attend or what subject to study, and get on camera as much as possible.
4. Jan. 31 is special for McGee because he will __________.
A. prepare for the graduation party in Camden County College.
B. interview Charlie Musumeci in Maryland.
C. report sports news for WJZ-TV.
D. begin his new career in ESPN.

B. He inspired him to start a career as a sports anchor.
C. He invited him to join East softball team.
D. He dreamed of playing baseball.
6. Which of the following can best describe McGee as a sports anchor

I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ”(McGee毕业于Cherry Hill East，第一次在体育节目中获得广播经验。这是一个由已故东部垒球队教练Charlie Musumeci鼓励的想法。“我记得他放学后来找我，”McGee回忆道。他说：“你可能在镜头前表现得很好。我知道你在谈论体育。你为什么不试一试呢？”)”可知，Charlie Musumeci鼓励McGee谈论体育，开始体育主播的职业生涯。故选B。

People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to get the hang of this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (继承人) of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most challenging part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practising,” she said.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture,” she told China Daily.
8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Nanmu was transported to the north by land.
B. Bamboo was expensive in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.
C. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
D. Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.
9. What does the underlined phrase “get the hang of” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Master. B. Change. C. Prepare. D. Improve.
10. What is the most difficult for bamboo drifting in Yang Liu’s opinion
A. Designing moves. B. Keeping balance.
C. Choosing bamboos. D. Transporting goods.
11. What can we infer about Yang Liu
A. She has become the leader of bamboo drifting.
B. She learned bamboo drifting very easily.
C. She inherits bamboo drifting creatively.
D. She began learning bamboo drifting at 17.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river.(人们站在河中的竹竿上表演优美的动作)”和第二段中“Due to the great strength and balance it takes(由于它需要巨大的力量和平衡)”可知，独竹漂需要很多技巧。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语前“Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to get the hang of this act(由于它需要巨大的力量和平衡才能……)”可知，此处指一个人需要巨大的力量和平衡才能掌握独竹漂的窍门，划线部分与A项Master“掌握”的意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel.(Yang在传播独竹漂文化的同时，也产生了新的想法。例如，她将舞蹈与独竹漂结合起来，使舞蹈更加优雅，表演时穿着汉服，营造出一种美丽的感觉)”可知，她创造性地继承了独竹漂，故选C。
D
Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight (the ability to see) new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision (色觉减退) as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device (设备), and simplicity, theteam is excited about the future of their therapy.
12. What plays a key role in red light therapy
A. The device used in the treatment. B. The time of day for treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts. D. The number of treatments received.
13. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers. B. The poor vision of the volunteers.
C. The health condition of the volunteers. D. The number of the volunteers.
14. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Carefree. D. Unclear.
15. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明，每周看三分钟的红光有助于缓解视力衰退。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.(这项新研究包括了20名年龄在34岁到70岁之间的志愿者，他们的视力都很健康。一些人在上午接受红光治疗，另一些人在下午接受。然后在一周后对他们的色觉进行测试。)”和第四段中“On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.(总体而言，那些在早上接受治疗的人，即使在一周后，他们的色觉也有17%的改善。下午接受治疗的患者没有任何改善。)”可知，研究结果表明在上午接受红光疗法治疗的志愿者一周后的色觉有显著改善，而在下午接受治疗的则没有改善。由此可知，每天在哪个时间段治疗是红光疗法中的关键。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy. (但是，该团队有希望的结果仍然来自于少数健康志愿者。还需要更大规模的研究来证明红光疗法的益处。)”可知，由于新研究的结果是在少数健康志愿者的基础上得出的，因此还需要更大规模的研究来证明红光疗法的好处，即更多的志愿者。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world(在不久的将来，每周一次，在煮咖啡或听歌曲时，可以在深红色的光线下暴露三分钟，这样一件简单的事情就可以改变世界各地的眼部护理和视力)”可知，Jeffrey对这种治疗的态度充满希望。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight (the ability to see), new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision (色觉减退) as we get older.(新的研究表明，每周看一次红灯三分钟可能有助于我们的视力（视觉能力）。研究结果表明，随着年龄的增长，红光可能是一种廉价而简单的治疗色觉下降的方法。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一项新研究，它表明每周接受三分钟的红光疗法治疗可显著改善因年龄增长而造成的视力衰退。由此推知，本文的目的是介绍一种对抗视力下降的方法。故选C项。

In 1907, Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite — the first ever plastic. Since then, plastics have been used widely in various industries and people’s lives. Plastic bags were introduced to supermarkets in 1977. Now, 160,000 plastic bags are used globally every second!
___16___ However, they are extremely inconvenient for the earth:
Plastic bags live on much, much longer — perhaps as much as 1,000 years in a landfill (垃圾填埋地).
When plastic breaks down in the ocean, it doesn’t break down completely. ___17___ The toxic (有毒的) chemicals from the plastic waste then enter the food chain.
Plastic bags cause the death of many sea animals when they are mistaken for food. In 2008, a whale was found beached in California. It died due to the more than 22 kilos of plastic found in its stomach.
___18___ However, sometimes you get to the store and realize you left your reusable shopping bag at home.
The key to improving our environmental behavior is to make a plan. And you should build your environmental muscle memory: Put your recyclable bags somewhere that will ensure you always remember to bring them with you.
If you drive to the store, keep your bags in your car. ___19___ If you walk, store your reusable bags near your front door.
Through this act of green, you have created a plan to ensure you will always have your reusable grocery bags on hand when you need them. ___20___ So build a plan and keep to it!
A. If you bike keep them in your basket.
B. But it only counts if you stick to the plan.
C. It remains harmful even when it breaks down.
D. Plastic bags are billed for their “convenience”.
E. It just gets smaller and ends up getting eaten by fish.
F. So we know that we should never use plastic grocery bags.
G. You’ll feel proud when you see what a difference you’ve made!
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了垃圾袋的危害以及我们如何拒绝使用垃圾袋。
【16题详解】
根据后文“However, they are extremely inconvenient for the earth:(然而，它们给地球带来了极大的不便：)”可知，前后句之间为转折关系，即：塑料袋使用方便，但给地球带来不便。所以选择项D“Plastic bags are billed for their “convenience”.(塑料袋因其“方便”而收费。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据前文“When plastic breaks down in the ocean, it doesn’t break down completely.(当塑料在海洋中分解时，它并没有完全分解)”和后文“The toxic chemicals from the plastic waste then enter the food chain. (塑料垃圾中的有毒化学物质随后进入食物链)”可知，塑料在海洋中分解变得越来越小，被海洋生物吃掉并进入食物链。所以选择项E“It just gets smaller and ends up getting eaten by fish. (它只会变得越来越小，最后被鱼吃掉)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据前文介绍塑料袋的危害，所以这里是对前文的总结。再根据后文“However, sometimes you get to the store and realize you left your reusable shopping bag at home. (然而，有时你去商店发现你把可重复使用的购物袋忘在家里了)”可知，我们永远不应该使用塑料袋。所以选择项F“So we know that we should never use plastic grocery bags. (所以我们知道我们永远不应该使用塑料购物袋)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据前文“If you drive to the store, keep your bags in your car.(如果你开车去商店，把你的包放在车里)”和后文“If you walk, store your reusable bags near your front door. (如果你走路，把可重复使用的袋子放在前门附近)”可知，建议不同的出行方式都带着可重复使用的袋子，从而避免使用塑料袋。所以选择项A“If you bike, keep them in your basket.(如果你骑自行车，把它们放在你的篮子里)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
20题详解】
根据前文“Through this act of green, you have created a plan to ensure you will always have your reusable grocery bags on hand when you need them.(通过这一绿色行动，你已经制定了一个计划，以确保你在需要的时候手边总是有可重复使用的购物袋)”和后文“So build a plan and keep to it! (所以制定一个计划并坚持下去吧!)”可知，制定的绿色行动计划只有坚持才有意义。所以选择项B“But it only counts if you stick to the plan. (但只有你坚持计划才有意义)”符合上下文语境。故选B。

Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.

Cherry Hill East graduate Max McGee will start his first day as a sports anchor (主持人) on ESPN’s Sports Center on Jan.31. After three years of covering Baltimore and Maryland sports for WIZ-TV, McGee’s new position will involve carrying out live interviews with athletes, reviewing previous games and looking ahead to others.
A graduate of Cherry Hill East, McGee got his first broadcast experience on a sports show. It was an idea encouraged by the late East softball coach Charlie Musumeci. “I remember him coming up to me after school,” McGee remembered. He said, “You’d probably be really good on camera. I know you talk about sports. Why don’t you give it a shot ” “He really started something,” McGee added, “He saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.”
In 2008, McGee had a hard time. He was recovering from a setback (挫折) he experienced when he attended Camden County College and played baseball. He dreamed of playing baseball as a career, but was cut by his team.
“My dream wasn’t over,” McGee added. “It was just a different chapter because I realized I would be able to talk about sports for a living, instead of playing them. And that was great.”
He graduated in 2012. Then he went on to study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he joined All Sports Update, a student-run program on Temple TV, and got broadcast experience through WHIP radio. After 14 months of searching for a reporter’s job, he landed a job in Lake Charles, Louisiana, as a news reporter and producer at KPLC-TV.
“I didn’t intend to be a news reporter, but looking back on it, it was probably the best thing that ever happened in my career,” McGee noted.
His advice for kids who might want to be sports anchors one day is to stop worrying about which school to attend or what subject to study, and get on camera as much as possible.
4. Jan. 31 is special for McGee because he will __________.
A. prepare for the graduation party in Camden County College.
B. interview Charlie Musumeci in Maryland.
C. report sports news for WJZ-TV.
D. begin his new career in ESPN.

A. He was one of the most famous sports anchors in Cherry Hill.
B. He inspired him to start a career as a sports anchor.
C. He invited him to join East softball team.
D. He dreamed of playing baseball.
6. Which of the following can best describe McGee as a sports anchor
A. Experienced. B. Thoughtful. C. Friendly. D. Creative.
7. What is McGee’s suggestion for kids wanting to be sports anchors
A. Getting their teachers’ opinions. B. Choosing their schools carefully.
C. Getting enough chances to practice. D. Learning to work well with others.

People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to get the hang of this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (继承人) of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most challenging part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practising,” she said.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture,” she told China Daily.
8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Nanmu was transported to the north by land.
B. Bamboo was expensive in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.
C. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
D. Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.
9. What does the underlined phrase “get the hang of” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Master. B. Change. C. Prepare. D. Improve.
10. What is the most difficult for bamboo drifting in Yang Liu’s opinion
A. Designing moves. B. Keeping balance.
C. Choosing bamboos. D. Transporting goods.
11. What can we infer about Yang Liu
A. She has become the leader of bamboo drifting.
B. She learned bamboo drifting very easily.
C. She inherits bamboo drifting creatively.
D. She began learning bamboo drifting at 17.
D
Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight (the ability to see), new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision (色觉减退) as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device (设备), and simplicity, theteam is excited about the future of their therapy.
12. What plays a key role in red light therapy
A. The device used in the treatment. B. The time of day for treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts. D. The number of treatments received.
13. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers. B. The poor vision of the volunteers.
C. The health condition of the volunteers. D. The number of the volunteers.
14. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Carefree. D. Unclear.
15. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
