A
Weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, and they are observed in just about every country and culture on the planet. Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.
Scotland
Scottish weddings usually feature the handfasting ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride (新娘) and bridegroom each hold a piece of cloth. These are carefully wound around the couple’s joined hands. When they pull their hands apart, the pieces become tied into a knot (结) -a symbol of the new union.
Germany
Guests at a German wedding get to see an interesting sight: the newly married couple-still dressed in their suit and wedding dress-cutting a length of a tree in half with a two-person saw (锯).In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.
Norway
A Norwegian wedding cake is made up of progressively smaller layers of iced cake rings, which give the cake the shape of Christmas tree. The inside is empty and has gifts or even a bottle of wine. The bride and g room lift the top ring of the cake, and the number of layers that stick to it is said to represent the number of children they will have!
England
Brides in England typically wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” for their big day. The modern practice comes from a traditional English song, and the things themselves represent protection, cheerfulness, good luck, and purity, respectively.
Though the customs might vary, the feeling remains the same. Across the world, weddings are times to celebrate love, happiness, and family.
21. Why is a two-person saw used in the German wedding
A. To entertain the wedding guests. B. To mark the couple’s united efforts.
C. To represent the upcoming challenges. D. To keep the couple from hurting each other.
22. In which wedding do brides wear different things to represent different wishes
A. The Scottish wedding. B. The German wedding.
C. The Norwegian wedding. D. The English wedding.
23. What does the text show about wedding
A. Rules to follow. B. Special customs.
C. Ways to treat guests. D. Cultural backgrounds.
B
Ellen Ochoa’s life journey offers an outstanding example of how invention can lead to adventure. She first worked as a creative engineer and went on to become the world’s first Hispanic female astronaut.
Ochoa graduated from San Diego State University in 1980 with a degree in Physics. Mindful of her mother’s stress on the importance of education, she entered graduate school at Stanford University. When Neil Armstrong had first walked on the moon, Ochoa was 11 years old. It never would have hit her then that she too might someday become an astronaut. However, in 1983, when Ochoa was on the way to earning her PhD in Electrical Engineering, Sally Ride became the first female U. S. astronaut. This gave Ochoa the encouragement to aim high. Upon graduation, she applied to NASA to become an astronaut herself.
At Stanford, Ochoa specialized in designing optical (光学) systems that study the objects that they “see”. After graduating, she continued this work at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sandia’s work for NASA includes developing optical, computerized recordings and models of events and phenomena (现象) in space. In time, Ochoa became the co-inventor of three optical devices. Later, working at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Ochoa branched off into developing computer systems designed for space exploration. Here she also managed a team of 35scientists.
Ochoa’s excellence in optics and computer hardware had caught NASA’s attention. In 1990, NASA accepted her into its astronaut training program, and in July 1991, Ochoa became an official U. S. astronaut. Less than two years later, Ochoa flew as a Mission Specialist on a Discovery Space Shuttle Mission.
Ellen Ochoa has won numerous awards for her success as an engineer, an astronaut, and a role model– not just for Hispanic or female ambitious scientists, but for anyone who believes that excellence will finally find its recognition and reward.
24. What inspired Ochoa to have a higher ambition in 1983
A. Her graduation from San Diego State University.
B. Her mother’s stress on further education.
C. Neil Armstrong’s life experience.
D. Sally Ride’s example.
25. What did Ochoa co-invent before becoming an astronaut
A. Optical systems to see the moon. B. Computerized models used in space.
C. Three optical devices. D. Computer systems for management.
26. When was Ochoa’s first visit to space
A. In 1980. B. In 1983. C. In 1991. D. In 1993.
27. What can be learnt through Ochoa’s experiences
A. Creativity starts with an idea.
B. Courage is knowing what not to fear.
C. Follow excellence, and success will come to you.
D. Understand your limitations, and you can remove them.
C
When you’re bored, what do you do The answer is a no-brainer: you reach for your phone. Five minutes of doggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored.
To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices. They also asked these volunteers to keep detailed diaries at work, recording their level of tiredness and boredom.
The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Phone breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, volunteers picked up their phone 52percent of the time, spending an average of around 90 seconds on it each time. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones. The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom.
The research team thought about the different reasons why this might be so. Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的).In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. Besides, picking up your phone might just serve as a reminder of all the fun and interesting things out there you could be doing if you didn’t have to fill out paperwork.
This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead
28. Why did the research team set up an app on the volunteers’ phones
A. To ensure their rest time. B. To remove their boredom.
C. To track their phone usage. D. To record their tiredness.
29. What do the underlined words “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. The most unexpected. B. The most advanced.
C. The most frequent. D. The most relieving.
30. The baby goat video is mentioned in paragraph 4 to show ________.
A. phones can be tiring B. phones can be inspiring
C. phones can function as a reminder D. phones can benefit our paperwork
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. Why screen time is harmful. B. How to take a better break.
C. Recommended online activities. D. Studies on phone addiction.
D
For long, Preifer Fall Trail (路线) was a most popular attraction in Big Sur. Annually, thousands of people hiked the trail. Unfortunately, the trail, along with stairs, signs, railings, an observation station and wooden bridges, was destroyed in the 2008 Basin Complex Fire. But now a new trail has risen from the burned land.
With its amazing rocky coastline and mountains, Big Sur, the writer Henry Miller once said, is “the face of the earth as the creator intended it to look.” But the landscape always suffers natural disasters. There have been three major wildfires in Big Sur in the past years. “You can still see the impacts there,” said John Hiles, a state parks repair team leader, pointing to black marks 30 feet up a huge redwood.
Parks planners designed a new track, moving the trail out of the river to reduce its impact on the environment. People from the California protection group, state parks department and the nonprofit organization put in 66,000 hours of work over the past four years. They built 160 redwood stairs and dragged hundreds of 16-foot-long redwood sticks by hand to build railings. They removed 4,150 square feet of old building stuff, enough to cover a basketball court. They used iron cables and pulleys (缆线和滑轮) to build a 70-foot long wooden bridge over the hills.“Nature is probably the best place to learn,” Hiles said. “More than any college or school, you learn so many life lessons out here.”
However, the huge Soberanes Fire s wept through the area in 2016, putting a stop to the work. When they began again in 2017, great river storms flooded the area and damaged part of Highway 1. Everybody gathered around this project. They saw the loss. They missed it. They wanted it to come back. They kept combining efforts. It’s been a long journey, but worth the wait.
32. What can we learn about Preifer Fall Trail
A. It is an attraction rebuilt in 2008. B. It met with many natural disasters.
C. It features man-made landscape. D. It is an addition to a previous track.
33. How did the people reduce the impact of the trail on the environment
A. By moving the trail off watercourse. B. By using huge redwood sticks.
C. By recycling the old building stuff. D. By applying iron cables and pulleys.
34. What can best describe the people’s work
A. Limiting and typical. B. Adventurous but smooth.
C. Mysterious and attractive. D. Tough but rewarding.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a hiking trail. B. California protection projects.
C. The recovery of a lost attraction. D. Journeys into wilderness.

◎Set your seat height right.
Are you experiencing pain in the front of your knee, or do you feel like your pedaling (踩动) is underpowered Your seat might be too low 38 Most people feel more comfortable and confident if their feet can reach the ground. But having the wrong height could put you at risk for injury.
◎ 39
One of the biggest sources of injury comes from trying to take on far distances before you’re ready. Build up slowly, ease in, and give your body time to adapt to longer distances. Similarly, if you’re on a training ride, don’t start too fast and risk burnout in the second half.
◎Learn how to ride in a group.
Group rides have their own standards and rules for a reason 40 If it’s your first time riding with a new group, hang out in the back, observe, and ask for help if you need it. No question is a stupid question when your own safety or the safety of the group is at risk.
A. Avoid doing too much too soon.
B. Take a test ride before buying a bike.
C. This is a common mistake among beginners.
D. It’s easy to cause a crash if your riding cannot be expected.
E. But it does take a little practice to get the hang of your bikes.
F. But we also understand that cycling can be hard to manage at first.
G. They are just suggestions that’ll make riding more safe and enjoyable.

Maddy and I have been friends since we were babies. The daycare we went to divided kids into groups according to age, and we were together before we could talk.
A year ago, Maddy’s family moved two hours away, and for months I begged my parents to take me for a visit. Finally, last week, my dad had to drive to a meeting in that direction, so we arranged that I’d spend the weekend at Maddy’s.
Maddy and I were so excited and we had three different phone conversations planning the awesome stuff we’d do during our time together, like bike riding and favorite song singing. I even made an official document (文档) titled “Maddy and Angel’s Fun List” to make sure we’d fit in all the fun we could during my visit. I particularly missed the time when we made cookies together.
But plans don’t always work out as expected.
The day I visited Maddy, she greeted me with a hug and said, “Come on. You’re just in time.”
“In time for what ” I asked. “The Cookie Club.” Maddy said and pulled me into her living room. She told me it was the best TV show ever invented and there was a special show going to be on all day long.
“Cool.” I replied, “But we’re not actually going to watch it all day long, right ”
“Of course not,” Maddy took the control and sat on the sofa. “But you have to watch one and see how great it is.”
The first thing I learned about The Cookie Club was that it’s about three kids who happen to live where strange goings-on are always going on. It combines mysteries and cookies-two things fairly impossible not to love. The second thing was that it would attract you to watch more and more episodes(集). You were so busy solving the delicious mystery and forget about anything except the one on the screen. The first day was over, but we didn’t manage to do a single thing on our Fun List.

It was not until bedtime that we realized we should turn off the TV. Maddy was shocked to find we had wasted time and stuck on the screen for the valuable Saturday. “I am sorry to invite you to watch the show.” she said. I replied with smiles, saying, “Never mind. I too was attracted to the delicious mysteries but I would never watch another episode.” We laughed at that and decided to make the most of the resting Sunday. With care and shared wishes, we expected the next day to be spent in our singing together and cooking cookies.
Luckily, we made a wonderful Sunday completing what we chose last night. Picking out the songs we shared interest in, we let our voice s spread around the house. Preparing the materials and working with joint efforts, we managed to bring good-looking and delicious-smelling cookies. The day saw our laughter and friendship. When it was time to leave, Maddy gave me a warm hug, “Thank you. Do come next time.” I said “Of course” and invited her to visit my family, too. So next time you want to treasure a friendship formed since childhood, turn off your TV and create quality time together.

I’m leaving you this voice message to invite you to come to our family’s Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner, say, on February 4th. My mother and I will start making dumplings around 4 p. m. and we’ll probably start having dinner at 6 p. m. If you’re interested in making dumplings, feel free to join us at 4p. m. I’m afraid there will be very few buses or taxis running tomorrow afternoon. My father is happy to pick you up from your place. Just send me your address and tell me when you can come. After dinner, we will watch some Spring Festival shows on TV. The most interesting show starts at around 8 p. m. We usually stay up very late, so don’t worry about staying too long. Just let me know when you want to go back to your place. Looking forward to your earliest reply.
