An Outstanding Athlete
Quan Hongchan， born in Guangdong Province in 2007， is a
Chinese diver who won a gold medal in Olympics.
“I love diving so much” is something that the so-called genius often
says. With much love for diving， Quan works so hard in training that she
spent almost a year mastering one new dive technique. Even if she met
many difficulties， she never gave up. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics，
Quan broke the previous Olympic record because of her five amazing
dives， three of which were perfect.
Quan’s story tells me that I should stick to what I like. And I believe
as long as I persevere， I will make it in the end.

I had grown up in a football-loving family； my dad had played until
injury forced him out.My older sister Stevie trained with Crewe Alexandra
Girls for a year or two as a left back just like our hero Jamie Carragher. I
remember the exact moment I told my dad I was interested in doing what
my big sister did. I was watching the game with him in the living room as
a pre-teen and it just came out， “It makes me sad that I can’t be a
footballer.” He asked why not， and I answered， “Because I’m not a
boy.”
He immediately responded by telling me that women’s football was
“great” and that I could play if I wanted to.“Yeah， I suppose，” I
responded， “but no one watches women’s football.” Looking back I
can see exactly why I felt like that.
At school， there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and
netball were “girl sports” and rugby and football were for the boys. I’d
never seen a women’s football match on TV； the only female athletes I’d
heard of were in the Olympics.
Today， the Lionesses will take on Scotland in the World Cup.But
although women’s football has turned out to be one of FIFA’s best
investments， the majority of female players in top tiers are earning under
what anyone would consider a fair wage.
On Twitter you’ll find that the most popular defence of those figures
argues that there’s less money in the female side of the game because
viewing statistics are lower than those from the male footballers， but the
truth is that investment is needed for female football to become more
visible and become an equally respected game.
Today， I’ll be cheering on the Lionesses， and its coming home will
mean more this time around， because it’ll mean talented， skilful female
footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe， just
maybe， a little girl believing that she can also be a lioness one day.

If you were to rate the most walkable cities in the world， what would
you look for？ Would it be how shaded the sidewalks are？ How many
benches there are along the way to your destination？ Or maybe how close
you are to shops or local attractions？
Well， the researchers at the Institute for Transportation and
Development Policy （ITDP）， located in New York， US， wanted to
know which of the world’s cities were the best for pedestrians（行
人）.So， they did just that.
To determine which cities were the most walkable， they rated cities
based on factors such as how close citizens were to car-free areas like
public parks， how close citizens lived in relation to schools and
hospitals， and how short their journeys were overall.
According to the study， they found that the most walkable cities in
the world were London， Paris， Bogota and Hong Kong. Overall，
London was at the top of the list， outranking （超过） nearly 1，000
cities around the world on these key factors.
“In order to provide safety and inviting walking conditions for all
city residents， it is essential to shift the balance of space in our cities
away from cars， providing more travel options for people，”CEO of
ITDP Heather Thompson told the magazine Cities Today. She continued，
“We have so much to gain — from cleaner air to better health to stronger
local economies and deeper bonds within communities， and we all need
that now more than ever.”
Unfortunately， it seems that very few cities make pedestrians a
priority， though.
“Our city streets across the planet are already full of cars.If you
really want to see the worst for walkability， it is the really sprawling （杂
乱无序伸展的） cities of the US，”commented Taylor Reich， a
research associate at ITDP and the primary author of the guide to making
cities more walkable.
So， what can cities do to make their streets friendlier for
pedestrians？
“There’s no one secret sauce； there’s no one thing you can do to
make a city walkable，” Reich said.“It’s many decisions that are made
at all levels from individual streets all the way up to the city design.”

本文是一篇新闻报道。研究表明最适合步行的城市是伦
敦、巴黎、波哥大和香港，然而，很少有城市会优先考虑行人。
8. What’s the purpose of the study？
A. To call on cities to make streets more walkable.
B. To find out the most walkable cities around the world.
C. To investigate pedestrians’ satisfaction with city life.
D. To explore factors impacting the walkability of cities.
解析： 目的意图题。根据第二、三段内容可知，这项研究的目
的是找出世界上最适合步行的城市。
9. On what basis did researchers measure a city’s walkability？
A. The amount of green space on sidewalks.
B. Traffic and road conditions for pedestrians.
C. The number of public services for pedestrians.
D. Accessibility of certain destinations to pedestrians.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，为了确定哪些城市
最适合步行，他们根据一些因素对城市进行了排名，比如市民离公
园等无车区有多近，居民住的地方离学校和医院有多近，以及他们
的总体路程有多短。据此可推知，研究人员依据行人到达某些目的
地的便利性来衡量一个城市的可步行性。
10. What did Heather Thompson suggest to improve walking conditions？
A. Increasing travel choices.
B. Developing local economies.
C. Limiting the number of cars.
D. Connecting local communities.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段开头汤普森说的话可知，汤普
森建议增加出行选择来改善步行条件。
11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？
A. Cars are major contributors to reduced walkability.
B. US cities are designed to give priority to pedestrians.
C. It is everyone’s responsibility to make a city walkable.
D. Both small and large scale measures are required to improve walkability.
解析： 段落大意题。根据最后一段末句可知，从单个街道到城
市设计，各个层面都要作出很多决定。因此，最后一段主要讲的
是需要同时采取小规模和大规模的措施来提高可步行性。

A group of researchers has developed a new material which is as soft
as cotton but as strong as Kevlar （凯夫拉纤维） and as conductive （导
电的） as many metals. It can be worn and washed like normal clothing
and could eventually turn athletic clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube （纳米管） threads” work
similarly to the wires in an EKG （心电图） monitoring device， which
measures heart rhythms to detect heart condition. But instead of having to
be patched （缝补） onto the skin， they can be sewn into a T-shirt and
worn like normal athletic clothes， according to a new study from
researchers at a lab at Rice University’s George R. Brown School of
Engineering. And unlike wires， they say the threads can comfortably
move with the wearer， and be washed， stretched and worn repeatedly
without breaking down.
The Rice University lab first developed carbon nanotube fiber in
2013， and has studied its use in medical operations， such as cochlea
implants for hearing loss and repair to damaged hearts. But at the time，
the original filaments （细丝） were too thin to be used by a standard
sewing machine.
For this latest one， researchers worked with a rope maker to weave
the filaments together into a material similar to regular sewing thread that
could be sewn into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides
“soft， wearable， dry sensors for continuous” EKG monitoring， the
study shows.
Though likely a long way off from going into production for
consumers， the material could eventually help replace heavy EKG
monitors in medical settings and heart rate-monitoring watches. With some
changes， clothes with these fibers could eventually be able to track other
vital signs， according to the researchers.
“You not only find soft， flexible， thread-like materials that are
comfortable to touch， that you can work with that you can build a bridge
out of or you can build a power line out of， but you can also run them
through a sewing machine，” said Oliver Dewy， a member of the
research team. “Nothing else behaves like this.”

How to Get More Time in a Day
Do you feel like there are never enough hours in a day？ Are you
always behind your tasks？ If so， here are some tips to help you take
control of your time.
16 Writing down the things you need to get done removes the
stress of trying to keep track of them mentally. What’s more， it will be
easier to make a plan to address your tasks.
When making your to-do list， be aware of unrealistic expectations.If
your list is too long， you’ll feel discouraged when you can’t get through
it. 17 Decide what absolutely needs to be done that day and what can
be put off to the next. Chances are that putting some duties off to the near
future won’t bring any serious consequences.
Once you have your list， attack it with one item at a time. Many
people believe that performing multiple tasks simultaneously （同时地）
saves time， but in truth multitasking takes 30 per cent longer than doing
things one by one. 18
The next step is to find ways to use time more wisely. Plenty of time
each day is spent in texting or e-mailing， so imagine how much time we’d
save if we just called people instead. 19 It’s faster than typing， and
it’s often easier to grasp someone’s meaning when we can hear his voice.
At the end of the day， it’s important to give your mind and body a
chance to rest. Take breaks to stop， breathe， and clear your thoughts，
and don’t let mounting duties prevent you from getting enough
sleep. 20
A. You can begin by making a to-do list.
B. Speaking over the phone is more efficient.
C. The solution is to deal with the most important thing first.
D. Only when you remove such activities can you feel refreshed.
E. Now go forth and treat your time like the valuable product it is！
F. Besides， people tend to make more mistakes when they multitask.
G. Though they may feel enjoyable， they have few long-term benefits.

符合语境。
18. F 根据空前一句可知，同时完成多个任务更耽误时间。F项

multitask与上文中的multitasking相呼应，符合语境。
19. B 根据上下文可知，本段介绍了打电话相对于发短信和电子
邮件的优点。B项中的phone与上文中的called相呼应，故B项符合
语境。
20. E 根据上文中的At the end of the day， it’s important to give
your mind and body a chance to rest.可知，休息对身心健康同样重
要。结合设空处的位置可推知，设空处应总结上文，E项（现在勇
往直前，把你的时间看作有价值的产品！）符合语境，呼吁我们
珍惜时间，珍惜时间的价值，且与上文内容相呼应。
Ⅲ.应用文写作
某英语报正在举办以“中华体育精神”为主题的征文活动。请你

注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Chinese Sportsmanship
参考范文：
Chinese Sportsmanship
Chinese sportsmanship can mean different things to different
people.To me， it can be understood as an emphasis on the values of fair
play， hard work， and respect for opponents， rules and competitions.It
also appreciates teamwork and unity， both on and off the field.
In addition to these personal values， Chinese sportsmanship also
reflects broader cultural values.Chinese athletes are often seen representing
the country on the global stage， and their achievements are celebrated as
a source of national pride.
In my eyes， at athletic events and in daily life， these great values
are the shiniest gold medal.

According to the study， they found that the most walkable cities in the world were London， Paris， Bogota and Hong Kong. Overall， London was at the top of the list， outranking （超过） nearly 1，000 cities around the world on these key factors.
“In order to provide safety and inviting walking conditions for all city residents， it is essential to shift the balance of space in our cities away from cars， providing more travel options for people，”CEO of ITDP Heather Thompson told the magazine Cities Today. She continued， “We have so much to gain — from cleaner air to better health to stronger local economies and deeper bonds within communities， and we all need that now more than ever.”
Unfortunately， it seems that very few cities make pedestrians a priority， though.
“Our city streets across the planet are already full of cars.If you really want to see the worst for walkability， it is the really sprawling （杂乱无序伸展的） cities of the US，”commented Taylor Reich， a research associate at ITDP and the primary author of the guide to making cities more walkable.
So， what can cities do to make their streets friendlier for pedestrians？
“There’s no one secret sauce； there’s no one thing you can do to make a city walkable，” Reich said.“It’s many decisions that are made at all levels from individual streets all the way up to the city design.”
8.What’s the purpose of the study？
A.To call on cities to make streets more walkable.
B.To find out the most walkable cities around the world.
C.To investigate pedestrians’ satisfaction with city life.
D.To explore factors impacting the walkability of cities.
9.On what basis did researchers measure a city’s walkability？
A.The amount of green space on sidewalks.
B.Traffic and road conditions for pedestrians.
C.The number of public services for pedestrians.
D.Accessibility of certain destinations to pedestrians.
10.What did Heather Thompson suggest to improve walking conditions？
A.Increasing travel choices.
B.Developing local economies.
C.Limiting the number of cars.
D.Connecting local communities.
11.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？
A.Cars are major contributors to reduced walkability.
B.US cities are designed to give priority to pedestrians.
C.It is everyone’s responsibility to make a city walkable.
D.Both small and large scale measures are required to improve walkability.

A group of researchers has developed a new material which is as soft as cotton but as strong as Kevlar （凯夫拉纤维） and as conductive （导电的） as many metals. It can be worn and washed like normal clothing and could eventually turn athletic clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube （纳米管） threads” work similarly to the wires in an EKG （心电图） monitoring device， which measures heart rhythms to detect heart condition. But instead of having to be patched （缝补） onto the skin， they can be sewn into a T-shirt and worn like normal athletic clothes， according to a new study from researchers at a lab at Rice University’s George R.Brown School of Engineering. And unlike wires， they say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer， and be washed， stretched and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
The Rice University lab first developed carbon nanotube fiber in 2013， and has studied its use in medical operations， such as cochlea implants for hearing loss and repair to damaged hearts. But at the time， the original filaments （细丝） were too thin to be used by a standard sewing machine.
For this latest one， researchers worked with a rope maker to weave the filaments together into a material similar to regular sewing thread that could be sewn into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft， wearable， dry sensors for continuous” EKG monitoring， the study shows.
Though likely a long way off from going into production for consumers， the material could eventually help replace heavy EKG monitors in medical settings and heart rate-monitoring watches. With some changes， clothes with these fibers could eventually be able to track other vital signs， according to the researchers.
“You not only find soft， flexible， thread-like materials that are comfortable to touch， that you can work with that you can build a bridge out of or you can build a power line out of， but you can also run them through a sewing machine，” said Oliver Dewy， a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this.”
12.What’s the feature of the new material？
A.It can conduct electricity easily.
B.It’s flexible but not comfortable.
C.It’s soft but not strong enough.
D.It’s very easy to be worn out.
13.What was the carbon nanotube fiber used for initially？
A.Measuring heart rhythms.
B.Being sewn into athletic clothes.
C.Helping patients with hearing loss.
D.Improving athletic ability of athletes.
14.What’s Oliver Dewy’s attitude to this new material？
A.Favorable. B.Skeptical.
C.Unclear. D.Critical.
15.What is the text mainly about？
A.The future of sports clothes.
B.A portable and accurate EKG monitoring device.
C.The study of carbon nanotube fiber.
D.A new material measuring heart rates.

How to Get More Time in a Day
Do you feel like there are never enough hours in a day？ Are you always behind your tasks？ If so， here are some tips to help you take control of your time.
16 Writing down the things you need to get done removes the stress of trying to keep track of them mentally. What’s more， it will be easier to make a plan to address your tasks.
When making your to-do list， be aware of unrealistic expectations.If your list is too long， you’ll feel discouraged when you can’t get through it. 17 Decide what absolutely needs to be done that day and what can be put off to the next. Chances are that putting some duties off to the near future won’t bring any serious consequences.
Once you have your list， attack it with one item at a time. Many people believe that performing multiple tasks simultaneously （同时地） saves time， but in truth multitasking takes 30 per cent longer than doing things one by one. 18
The next step is to find ways to use time more wisely. Plenty of time each day is spent in texting or e-mailing， so imagine how much time we’d save if we just called people instead. 19 It’s faster than typing， and it’s often easier to grasp someone’s meaning when we can hear his voice.
At the end of the day， it’s important to give your mind and body a chance to rest. Take breaks to stop， breathe， and clear your thoughts， and don’t let mounting duties prevent you from getting enough sleep. 20
A.You can begin by making a to-do list.
B.Speaking over the phone is more efficient.
C.The solution is to deal with the most important thing first.
D.Only when you remove such activities can you feel refreshed.
E.Now go forth and treat your time like the valuable product it is！
F.Besides， people tend to make more mistakes when they multitask.
G.Though they may feel enjoyable， they have few long-term benefits.

Chinese Sportsmanship
Chinese sportsmanship can mean different things to different people.To me， it can be understood as an emphasis on the values of fair play， hard work， and respect for opponents， rules and competitions.It also appreciates teamwork and unity， both on and off the field.
In addition to these personal values， Chinese sportsmanship also reflects broader cultural values.Chinese athletes are often seen representing the country on the global stage， and their achievements are celebrated as a source of national pride.
In my eyes， at athletic events and in daily life， these great values are the shiniest gold medal.

An Outstanding Athlete
Quan Hongchan， born in Guangdong Province in 2007， is a Chinese diver who won a gold medal in Olympics.
“I love diving so much” is something that the so-called genius often says. With much love for diving， Quan works so hard in training that she spent almost a year mastering one new dive technique. Even if she met many difficulties， she never gave up. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics， Quan broke the previous Olympic record because of her five amazing dives， three of which were perfect.
Quan’s story tells me that I should stick to what I like. And I believe as long as I persevere， I will make it in the end.
