For a teenager whose chances of survival were slim when he was born, just making it to the starting line at the Olympics is a miraculous achievement in itself.
William Flaherty was born in Cincinnati. When he was 3, he was diagnosed with HLH. It is an often-fatal disease where the immune system attacks the body’s organs. There were days when they didn’t know if he would live through. The 17-year-old Flaherty has had more than 30 operations in his life, including a bone-marrow transplant from his older brother Charles in 2008.
At five, William skied for the first time. It helped a lot with low bone density and got him back in good shape. One year later, William moved to Puerto Rico and fell in love with the island. Puerto Rico doesn’t have snow and balancing the island and skiing life was tough. During the first few years a lot of it was pushed by his father and older brother Charles—himself a former Olympic skier. Motivated by his older brother, William wanted to give it a try himself. When he brought up to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing, his friends laughed. However, he didn’t let it hold him back.
As a teenager, Flaherty had to balance his training with medical appointments and going to school. Even a cold could lay him up for two weeks, so William took extra pre-cautions over the last two years. While training, he wore an N95 mask the whole time and couldn’t ride the lift with anyone. After training, he came home directly, hid in his bedroom and stayed away from people. He managed to maintain straight A’s despite having to study on chairlifts and do final exams sometimes only days before racing. He had his English final three days before he left for Beijing.
“All my medical problems have definitely helped with my motivation. Skiing is really helpful because it forces me to focus on one thing. I really want to prove to all the other transplant survivors that you can do whatever you want in life. Move on with your life and achieve whatever you want,” he said.
24. Why did William Flaherty start skiing at the age of five
A. To entertain himself. B. To participate in the Olympics.
C. To improve his health. D. To follow in his father’s footsteps.
25. What can we learn about William Flaherty according to the passage
A. His studies gave way to his training for skiing.
B. Puerto Rico could offer him better training conditions.
C. He was inspired by his older brother Charles in skiing.
D. He started to learn skiing when he moved to Puerto Rico.
26. Which of the following can best describe William Flaherty
A. Brave and kind. B. Creative and generous.
C. Modest and shy. D. Optimistic and hardworking.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Skiing Life of a Teenager. B. Preparing Well for the Olympics.
C. Surviving from Severe Illness. D. Defeating Disease to Deliver Hope.
C
When it comes to home decoration, one of the first opportunities we get to express ourselves is by choosing which posters to tear out of magazines and stick on our teenage bedroom walls. So why was the humble poster so popular The simplest argument is that it allows children and teens to match their bedroom to their personality. Adolescence is a time when we long for independence and a voice, and posters allow that freedom. This is particularly important at a time when the bedroom is an important space away from the pressures of school, annoying brothers or sisters and parents who seem to go out of their way to cause embarrassment.
Another advantage of posters as a first attempt into decoration is their transience. Buying magazines with pin-ups of your favourite celebrities is a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to decorating a bedroom and, once a fashion passes, posters can easily be taken down.
My own walls were covered with posters from a young age. At the risk of sounding strange, swapping my posters around was a hobby during my teenage years. I’d commit hours to rearranging them on my wall, ensuring every inch was covered.
Research conducted by George Home /Asda in 2017 showed just 7 percent of teens had posters on their walls compared to 78 percent in the 1990s, largely due to the “plain walls and fairy lights aesthetic (美学)” favoured by You Tubers and influencers. The experimental teenage bedrooms of Gen X and Millennials are gone, now bypassing the stage entirely and transforming straight into a more adult space.
It’s sad to think young people are missing something that played such a big part of youth culture, but times have moved on. And if the love of all things old-fashioned continues to be influenced by shows such as Stranger Things, perhaps the poster will enjoy a rebirth in popularity, who knows As someone who found so much joy in the posters that decorated their walls, I really do hope so.
28. Why do teenagers prefer posters according to the author
A. They causeless embarrassment to teenagers.
B. They are topics to share with others.
C. They help reduce the pressures of school.
D. They are symbols of freedom and personality.
29. Which can best replace the underlined word “transience” in paragraph 2
A. Being necessary. B. Being temporary.
C. Being contradictory. D. Being voluntary.
30. What can be inferred from the research in 2017
A. Aesthetic is unpopular among adolescents.
B. Some social media favor posters as decorations.
C. The love for posters has dropped dramatically recently.
D. The experimental model in teenage bedrooms are unreliable.
31. What does the author hope for in the last paragraph
A. The poster will be popular again.
B. The poster will be updated constantly.
C. The poster will not decorate walls anymore.
D. The poster will not be influenced by popular shows.
D
Recently, the Norwegian island of Sommary announced that it was getting rid of time to become the world’s first time-free zone. It sounded extremely pleasant—to leave the clock behind and do what you wanted whenever you wanted to. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to be a clever strategy to attract public attention by Norway’s tourism agency rather than the real deal. But it raises a fundamental question—can we live totally without time
“From a consciousness viewpoint we simply can’t lose our awareness of time, as it’s closely connected to our sense of self,” explains German psychologist Marc Wittmann. “Many cells in our body possess their own autonomous clock. If those clocks get out of sync (不同步), however, it could cause problems.” Canadian scientist Holly Andersen agrees, believing it’s not possible to have conscious experience without the passage of time. Think about how your personal identity is built over time and filed away as memories. “These memories make up who you are over time,” says Andersen.
While we can’t give up the concept of the passage of time at such fundamental levels, day in day out forcing our bodies to stick to an abstract concept of time that ignores natural rhythms may lead to physical problems. A typical example is Daylight Saving Time (DST)—where we move clock time one hour forward relative to the cycle of daylight. There are a number of studies suggesting that switching to DST disturbs our internal body clocks, leading to less sleep, worse performance in tests and learning issues.
The clock, it seems, isn’t always good for us. So, how can we live in a world ruled by clock time “Giving yourself permission to do something without any time limit can help restore some of your body’s normal rhythms. If possible, wake up naturally or go for a walk until you feel you’re done. You don’t have to have a life where you meditate (冥想) for ten hours a day,” says Andersen. “But letting go of time restrictions on your actions for a twenty-minute period can be very healthy.”
32. What can we say about Sommargy’s announcement
A. It failed to draw public attention. B. It was just a marketing trick.
C. It was a rather practical policy. D. It caused too many problems
33. What do both Wittmann and Andersen agree with
A. Many people tend to save time in unhealthy ways.
B. It is difficult to accurately sense the passage of time.
C. Your sense of self has little to do with your memories.
D. It is impossible for us to live without the sense of time.
34. Why does the author mention the studies in paragraph 3
A. To show how our body clocks actually work.
B. To explain why DST helps improve efficiency.
C. To prove clock time’s potential harm to our health.
D. To deny the link between body clocks and clock time.
35. What does Andersen advise us to do
A. Exercise for twenty minutes every day.
B. Do something outside the clock’s control.
C. Find effective ways to make use of our time.
D. Meditate more to restore our body’s rhythms.

根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中的两项为多余选项。
Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve erected entire cities on wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers to store water for later use. 36 . But it’s not, argues environmental journalist Erica Gies, author of Water Always Wins.
Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward. 37 . Dams starve downstream areas of sediment needed to protect coasts against rising seas. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.
In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems. She introduces “water detectives”—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others. 38 .
They have found ways to give water the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground. Around Seattle’s Thornton Creek, for instance, reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis.
39 . Scientists in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima-Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.
Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. 40 . Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.
A. They believe more efforts should be made to control water.
B. These techniques pave the way for the construction of dams.
C. Controlling water, Gies convincingly argues, is a false belief.
D. Cities on former wetlands flood regularly—often disastrously
E. Instead of trying to control water, they ask: What does water want
F. It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.
G. While some people explore new ways, others lean on ancient knowledge.

Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now ” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money ” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
