Attention, please!
The new clothes designs have come out, although it may still take a bit of time for us to put real clothes on.
◆All-season Wear
This new wear is coated with carbon and copper (铜). On cold days, turn the copper side out. That takes heat in, so you stay warm. When spring comes, turn the copper side in. Now the copper pulls heat from your body to keep you cool.
◆___________
To clean this coat, just stay in the sun! UV light from the sun will heat the outer side of the coat and remove dirt for you. You stay cool, but dirty marks become weaker and weaker! Some light ones disappear in minutes - tough ones might take a day or longer.
◆Self-repairing Jeans
Are you sick of holes in your jeans The new jeans repair themselves! If there is a hole, just rub the area rapidly. Heat from the rubbing will make the fibers (纤维) connect up again, fixing the hole. Hole No! New jeans again!
◆Power-up Party Dress
Power-up Party Dress is made from ordinary cloth with metal lines inside. The metal lines can help change light energy into electricity. The lines send the electricity to power LED lights for a truly beautiful party look!
◆New Airbag Suit
The outer side of the suit could sense the dangers or risks, such as a fall. Then the whole suit could fill itself up with air like a balloon. This air bag suit can keep adventurers or athletes alive from dangerous situations.

Patagonia is a part of South America, flat and treeless. Its climate is cold and dry. There are more sheep than people across the land. But some exciting finds have made Patagonia a hot and well-known place. The bones of the largest dinosaurs and a huge nest of dinosaur eggs were found there.
Patagonia was not always such an empty and boring place. Around 90 million years ago, it was warm. It got plenty of rain. This climate was perfect for many kinds of plants and animals. There were forests of tall trees. It was a great place for plant-eating dinosaurs. Even the hugest plant eaters could find plenty to eat
The three largest dinosaur skeletons in the world are plant eaters from Patagonia. None of the skeletons is complete. But scientists have enough bones from these big animals to picture what they looked like. All of them had long necks and tails, Their size was truly amazing, from 105 to 131 feet long. They all walked on four feet.
Patagonia is also the place where the skeleton of the largest meat-eating dinosaur was discovered. This meat eater was about half as long as the biggest plant eaters. However, its big and sharp teeth made it a powerful killer.
So far, Patagonia’s coolest discovery isn’t skeletons but a huge dinosaur hatching (孵化) ground. There were thousands of dinosaur eggs in the ground! Scientists have learned a lot from studying these eggs. They were laid about 80 million years ago. If they had hatched, the dinosaur babies would have been about 1. 25 feet long. When full-grown, they would have been 45 feet long.
These exciting dinosaur finds inspire people’s interest in Patagonia. Now dinosaur scientists from around the world are hard at work there. Each one hopes to make a great find. Another amazing dinosaur discovery may be just around the corner.
20. What made Patagonia a famous place
A. The finds. B. The history. C. The climate. D. The forests.
21. What was Patagonia like 90 million years ago
A. It seldom rained there. B. It was very cold there.
C Few animals lived there. D. Tall trees grew there.
22. What is the coolest discovery in Patagonia
A. Dinosaur babies. B. The hatching ground.
C. Dinosaur skeletons. D. The deadly meat eaters.
23. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Where Dinosaurs Laid Eggs. B. How Dinosaurs Were Found.
C. Where Dinosaurs Once Lived. D. How Dinosaurs Disappeared.

If you’ve ever seen a movie at a theatre, you will see advertisements everywhere for one snack. It’s popcorn! But why do we always eat popcorn at the movies
Before the big screen was invented, popcorn was a popular snack sold at carnivals (狂欢节). By the late 1800s, the popcorn making machine came out and it was easier to make popcorn. As a result, this delicious salty snack became super popular. But it wasn’t fancy.
So when the first movie theatres opened around 1900, they wanted nothing to do with the cheap popcorn. At that moment, theatres were fancy places designed for the well-educated. This was especially true in the age of silent films. No movie theatre would allow such a loud and messy food into its performances.
But all that changed in 1927 when films with sound were invented and movies became cheap and easy pastimes for people rich and poor. From then on, popcorn became the perfect inexpensive food to go with the film.
Although accepted by most movie theatres, popcorn was not sold in them, but on the streets. Seeing the popcorn sellers made a good profit from people standing in line for movie tickets, the theatre owners realized they could cut out the middle man and sell popcorn themselves. This happened in the 1930s, and the move made big profits for the movie theatres.
Soon the Great Depression hit. People had no money to spend on movies, which almost led the extinction of movie theatres. Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today.
The relationship between popcorn and the movies was really set in stone during World War I was hard to get snacks in movie theatres except popcorn. So popcorn turned out to be a must-have the movie theatre experience.
Since then, the price of popcorn has been rising continuously so that movie theatres could stay alive without raising ticket prices. It might be overpriced, but today’s popcorn continues its long and storied history in movie theatres, In fact, it may very well be one of the most influential snacks in pop culture.
24. In the late 1800s, popcorn became popular because of ______________.
A. the advertisements B. its sales at carnivals
C. popcorn machines D. the movie theatres
25. What probably stopped the first movie theatres accepting popcorn
A. The smell. B. The price. C. The taste. D. The noise.
26. How did the movie theatres survive the Great Depression according to the passage
A. By raising ticket prices. B. By selling popcorn.
C. By serving other snacks. D. By working with street sellers.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A A popular snack at movies. B. A story of movie theatres.
C. An invention of theatre owners. D. A good profit from films.
D
Whether you’re new to working out, or you’ve been hitting the gym for years, you’ve probably heard people talking about DOMS in relation to post-workout muscle (肌肉) pain. DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, which is a term used to describe the muscular aches, stiffness or soreness experienced between 24 and 72 hours after some particularly tough exercise or a new type of exercise that the body is not used to.
While DOMS may feel like an injury, it’s actually a normal response to a tough workout. Some experts explain that DOMS is: a sign that muscle fibers have been overloaded to the extent that tiny tears in these fibers have occurred and the surrounding tissues will feel sore, tight, possibly slightly inflamed (发炎的) and you may not be able to go through your full range of movement in a muscle joint. In fact, it means that your muscles are physically changing, rebuilding, and becoming stronger.
DOMS can feel slightly different for different people and can present in different areas of the body. There isn’t actually a proven way to cure DOMS. However, there are various methods you can use to reduce the pain.
Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. A 2005 study in the Journal of Athletic Training showed, that becoming dehydrated during a workout could worsen DOMS.
Heat treatment can also help with your DOMS. A 2017 study in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine found that applying “low temperature heat wraps” to the worked muscles immediately after a workout was an effective way to prevent DOMS and that it increased flexibility of tissue and tissue blood flow. The study also found that applying heat 24 hours after the workout was less effective.
Massaging (按摩) the sore area can also be very effective. In fact, a 2018 study in the journal Frontiers in Physiology found that it helped relax the sore muscles and reduce DOMS.
A tough workout comes with some results. If you find yourself feeling stiff and sore in the days after your workout, you probably have a case of DOMS. And remember, the more you work out, the less you’ll experience DOMS.
28. What is DOMS
A. A physical pain. B. A tough exercise.
C. An unhealthy sign. D. A stressful lifestyle.
29. When experiencing DOMS, people may___________________.
A. become sleepless B. move slowly C. feel breathless D. lose hearing
30. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tired. B. Flexible. C. Thirsty. D. Relaxed.
31. What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 4-6
A. The signs of DOMS. B. The reasons behind DOMS.
C. The examples of DOMS. D. The ways to reduce DOMS.

阅读下面短文和问题,根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求,在横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。
Wearing masks is widely believed to be a simple but useful method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries.
In the first century, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of breathing illnesses. To work out this problem, Pliny the Elder, a Roman philosopher (哲学家) and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Thus, Pliny the Elder was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask.
Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Around the 16th century, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci suggested using a cloth wetted in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals (化学物质).
The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to get the official right to produce a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikuliez-Radecki designed a simple mask made up of one piece of medical gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent getting diseases. That was the first recorded use of a medical mask.
In 1910, a terrible disease broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”, which was made of two pieces of medical gauze. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple and cheap to make.
With the happening of widely spreading diseases and the rise of air pollution, the materials in masks have continued to develop to better protect the wearers in modern times. For example, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can help prevent smog from being breathed in, have become highly popular.

33. What was the first medical mask made of (不多于两个单词)

Patagonia is also the place where the skeleton of the largest meat-eating dinosaur was discovered. This meat eater was about half as long as the biggest plant eaters. However, its big and sharp teeth made it a powerful killer.
So far, Patagonia’s coolest discovery isn’t skeletons but a huge dinosaur hatching (孵化) ground. There were thousands of dinosaur eggs in the ground! Scientists have learned a lot from studying these eggs. They were laid about 80 million years ago. If they had hatched, the dinosaur babies would have been about 1. 25 feet long. When full-grown, they would have been 45 feet long.
These exciting dinosaur finds inspire people’s interest in Patagonia. Now dinosaur scientists from around the world are hard at work there. Each one hopes to make a great find. Another amazing dinosaur discovery may be just around the corner.

If you’ve ever seen a movie at a theatre, you will see advertisements everywhere for one snack. It’s popcorn! But why do we always eat popcorn at the movies
Before the big screen was invented, popcorn was a popular snack sold at carnivals (狂欢节). By the late 1800s, the popcorn making machine came out and it was easier to make popcorn. As a result, this delicious salty snack became super popular. But it wasn’t fancy.
So when the first movie theatres opened around 1900, they wanted nothing to do with the cheap popcorn. At that moment, theatres were fancy places designed for the well-educated. This was especially true in the age of silent films. No movie theatre would allow such a loud and messy food into its performances.
But all that changed in 1927 when films with sound were invented and movies became cheap and easy pastimes for people rich and poor. From then on, popcorn became the perfect inexpensive food to go with the film.
Although accepted by most movie theatres, popcorn was not sold in them, but on the streets. Seeing the popcorn sellers made a good profit from people standing in line for movie tickets, the theatre owners realized they could cut out the middle man and sell popcorn themselves. This happened in the 1930s, and the move made big profits for the movie theatres.
Soon the Great Depression hit. People had no money to spend on movies, which almost led the extinction of movie theatres. Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today.
The relationship between popcorn and the movies was really set in stone during World War I was hard to get snacks in movie theatres except popcorn. So popcorn turned out to be a must-have the movie theatre experience.
Since then, the price of popcorn has been rising continuously so that movie theatres could stay alive without raising ticket prices. It might be overpriced, but today’s popcorn continues its long and storied history in movie theatres, In fact, it may very well be one of the most influential snacks in pop culture.
24. In the late 1800s, popcorn became popular because of ______________.
A. the advertisements B. its sales at carnivals
C. popcorn machines D. the movie theatres
25. What probably stopped the first movie theatres accepting popcorn
A. The smell. B. The price. C. The taste. D. The noise.
26. How did the movie theatres survive the Great Depression according to the passage
A. By raising ticket prices. B. By selling popcorn.
C. By serving other snacks. D. By working with street sellers.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. A popular snack at movies. B. A story of movie theatres.
C. An invention of theatre owners. D. A good profit from films.

Whether you’re new to working out, or you’ve been hitting the gym for years, you’ve probably heard people talking about DOMS in relation to post-workout muscle (肌肉) pain. DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, which is a term used to describe the muscular aches, stiffness or soreness experienced between 24 and 72 hours after some particularly tough exercise or a new type of exercise that the body is not used to.
While DOMS may feel like an injury, it’s actually a normal response to a tough workout. Some experts explain that DOMS is: a sign that muscle fibers have been overloaded to the extent that tiny tears in these fibers have occurred and the surrounding tissues will feel sore, tight, possibly slightly inflamed (发炎的) and you may not be able to go through your full range of movement in a muscle joint. In fact, it means that your muscles are physically changing, rebuilding, and becoming stronger.
DOMS can feel slightly different for different people and can present in different areas of the body. There isn’t actually a proven way to cure DOMS. However, there are various methods you can use to reduce the pain.
Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. A 2005 study in the Journal of Athletic Training showed that becoming dehydrated during a workout could worsen DOMS.
Heat treatment can also help with your DOMS. A 2017 study in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine found that applying “low temperature heat wraps” to the worked muscles immediately after a workout was an effective way to prevent DOMS and that it increased flexibility of tissue and tissue blood flow. The study also found that applying heat 24 hours after the workout was less effective.
Massaging (按摩) the sore area can also be very effective. In fact, a 2018 study in the journal Frontiers in Physiology found that it helped relax the sore muscles and reduce DOMS.
A tough workout comes with some results. If you find yourself feeling stiff and sore in the days after your workout, you probably have a case of DOMS. And remember, the more you work out, the less you’ll experience DOMS.
28. What is DOMS
A. A physical pain. B. A tough exercise.
C. An unhealthy sign. D. A stressful lifestyle.
29. When experiencing DOMS, people may___________________.
A. become sleepless B. move slowly C. feel breathless D. lose hearing
30. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tired. B. Flexible. C. Thirsty. D. Relaxed.
31. What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 4-6
A. The signs of DOMS. B. The reasons behind DOMS.
C. The examples of DOMS. D. The ways to reduce DOMS.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D

Wearing masks is widely believed to be a simple but useful method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries.
In the first century, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of breathing illnesses. To work out this problem, Pliny the Elder, a Roman philosopher (哲学家) and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Thus, Pliny the Elder was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask.
Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Around the 16th century, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci suggested using a cloth wetted in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals (化学物质).
The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to get the official right to produce a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikuliez-Radecki designed a simple mask made up of one piece of medical gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent getting diseases. That was the first recorded use of a medical mask.
In 1910, a terrible disease broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”, which was made of two pieces of medical gauze. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple and cheap to make.
With the happening of widely spreading diseases and the rise of air pollution, the materials in masks have continued to develop to better protect the wearers in modern times. For example, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can help prevent smog from being breathed in, have become highly popular.
