In the ever-changing world of women's artistic gymnastics, there has been a gymnast for more than three decades: Oksana Chusovitina.
The 48-year-old had said with certainty that her final competition would be the Tokyo 2020 Games. With no fans in the stands to honor her legendary career (职业生涯) , judges, coaches and other athletes did their best to give her a party worthy of all she'd given the sport. After she thanked them through tears in her eyes, she told media that was her swansong.
However, just a few months after the Tokyo Olympics, Chusovitina said that she would return to training, dreaming of one final medal at a major competition —the Asian Games—for Uzbekistan. “I just can't finish my career without a medal for my motherland,” she said on her Instagram story.
Chusovitina first competed in the 1992 Olympics as part of the Unified Team and won a team gold medal there. Though she represented (代表) Uzbekistan in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics, her second Olympic medal came some 16 years later in the 2008 Olympics. Chusovitina, then representing her third nation, Germany, where better medical treatment was provided for her sick son, got the silver medal.
And now, her story continues. The historic eight-time Olympian has started her ninth trip to the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the first two World Cup stops of the season she won bronze medals. “Thank you all so much for the support,” she wrote on Instagram. “First start, first medal.”
“More to come,” added the gymnast, whose motto is “I'd rather try today than regret tomorrow”.
24. What does the underlined word “swansong” mean in paragraph 2
A. A popular song. B. A great honor.
C. The last performance. D. The wonderful career.
25. What made Chusovitina return to training after the Tokyo Olympics
A. Personal glory. B. National pride.
C. Economic situation. D. International pressure.
26. Why did Chusovitina represent Germany in the 2008 Olympics
A. To win more medals. B. To receive better education.
C. To get medical treatment for her son. D. To learn skills from the national team.
27. Which word best describes Chusovitina
A. Determined. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Curious.

San Francisco's waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco's waterfront, however, isn't safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city's shoreline on its list of the U. S. 's most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn't historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that's changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what's worth saving and what isn't, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
28. What is San Francisco's waterfront famous for
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
29. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
30. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To give an example of existing threats.
B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters.
D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
31. What can be learned from the text
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
D
Sleep is so important that it has long interested scientists. Scientists have studied everything from mice to fruit flies in the lab to get a better understanding of what happens when animals sleep and why they do it. However, gathering data (数据) on how animals sleep in their natural habitat has always been hard to do.
But scientists did just that with wild chinstrap penguins in Antarctica. In doing so, researchers found the birds took over ten thousand microsleeps throughout the day—adding up to a 11-hour-long sleep.
To study the penguins, scientists put devices (设备) into a small group of penguins' brain and neck muscles, which provided the brain wave and location data. The devices had never been used before, so this data collection was only supposed to be a test. However, the process went so well and the data was published in this study.
Researchers found that the microsleeps last only seconds. Researchers think that being able to sleep for such a short time might help the animals avoid predators (捕食者) that might more likely attack if the penguins were asleep for longer-especially when one parent goes out feeding in the ocean for days, leaving the other parent to protect the eggs from predatory birds.
The study is an early insight into a relatively large missing scientific knowledge about sleep.
“Almost every study on sleeping birds discovers something new, something we didn't know about before,” says study co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel.
Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, a sleep neuroscientist at the University of Oxford who didn't join in the study, is excited about this new data because “most of what we know about the animal sleep was gained in laboratory conditions, which are totally different from conditions where sleep developed”.
32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The study method. B. The device introduction.
C. The research purpose. D. The background information.
33. What is a possible reason for penguins' microsleeps
A. Feeding baby birds. B. Getting longer sleep.
C. Avoiding being hunted. D. Attacking other birds.
34. What's Vyazovskiy's attitude towards the study
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Objective.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Animal Sleep Is Researched in the Lab
B. Penguins Gain a Different Way of Sleep
C. Sleep Is of Great Importance to Penguins
D. Penguins Take Thousands of Microsleeps a Day

Becoming a self-actualized person means becoming someone who has reached their full potential (潜力) .College is where you can explore and slowly build yourself into the kind of person you want to be. Here's some advice that will make the journey easier for you.
Take care of yourself before anything. Reaching your full potential is the final level of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs (马斯洛需层次理论) . 36 Things like eating healthy food and keeping yourself safe need to be taken care of before your exploration of personal growth.
Never stop learning. Learning doesn't stop when you leave college. In fact, you should make it a point to keep learning as long as you're alive. Whatever job you choose, there's always going to be new knowledge. 37
Find something fun in everything. It's fine to admit that certain topics are difficult to understand immediately. But considering them as boring will only annoy you and make the learning process harder. 38 No topic will be boring if you treat it with the right attitude.
39 Without organizational skills, you cannot make good arrangements and finish tasks on time. You need to learn how to manage your time because this will give you enough space to study for college, and then have enough free time for your own hobbies outside of school.
Reaching your full potential is an ongoing life-long process. 40 If you give yourself enough time and space, you'll realize your full potential as you grow and learn.
A. Organize your time effectively. B. Balance your study and hobbies.
C. The willingness to continue learning will take you far in life.
D. To really get pleasure from learning, you must keep an open mind.
E. With the idea that it's boring, you'll never find it any easier to learn.
F. It requires you to satisfy your needs for health, safety and new experiences.
G. This means you have to meet your basic needs first before you consider your dreams.

Miguel looked across the school campus. Why did the English teacher annoy the whole class with such a stupid topic, “The Most Courageous Person I've Known” He groaned (呻吟) at the painful thought of writing two full pages about a person who didn't exist. He just couldn't think of anyone.
At twelve, Miguel just wanted to be a boy. He wanted to play, get his homework done as quickly as possible, and eat. He reached his pocket for a candy bar, tore open the wrapper with his teeth and headed home.
Passing an alley (胡同) , he spotted a white chicken poking at a dirty bag that lay on a pile of garbage. Then, like soup, an idea bubbled in his mind. He got the dirty bag, held it open and got close to the chicken slowly. It lifted its head, took a few slow steps and clucked (咯咯叫) . Miguel was quick. He caught it by the neck, pushed it in and tied the bag.
For a moment, he felt like a fox, the trickiest of all animals. Now, it was time to go to Mr. Shafer, who sold chickens. Luckily, Mr. Shafer was in his front yard. Miguel announced that he had a nice chicken for him because his grandma couldn't eat chicken anymore. Mr. Shafer took the chicken out, examined it carefully and handed him two dollars.
The chicken looked up at him with kind of sad eyes. Miguel's heart sank. Why could I become so unfeeling What had I done Miguel groaned to himself. Money in hand, he turned around quickly and ran toward his home, trying not to think of the defenseless chicken. Yet, those sad eyes of the chicken seemed to be staring at him all the way.
