Since the age of three, Dolores had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ____13____ nearly ended one night
in 2010. Dolores, then a 17-year-old high school senior, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days
and left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down.
For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. However, for Dolores, it was the
beginning. She wanted to ____14____ that she was still “normal”. Normal for her meant dancing, so Dolores did it

Hoping to reach more people, Dolores moved to Los Angeles where she formed a team of dancers with
disabilities named the Rollettes. She wanted to show that “dance is dance, ____18____ you’re walking or you’re
rolling.” In disabled dance competitions, the Rollettes rocked their upper bodies, jerked their heads to beats, stroke
poses, and steered their wheelchairs in well-timed, dynamic (动态). The audiences’ high-spirited reactions showed
they had a ____19____ .
Dolores has achieved what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find
something else just as satisfying. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities
with an eye to helping them ____20____ their goals. Until now, 173 participants from ten countries attended.
For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Nothing can stop them from following their dream of

“Thanks to my blue jeans for saving my life”, this is what Arne Murke has said recently. The 30-year-old
German man was thrown off a sailboat in rough (汹涌的) seas near New Zealand. Murke says he turned his jeans
into a life jacket that kept him afloat for over three hours. He was later rescued by a coast guard crew (队).
The German was sailing with his brother in Tolaga Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand’s north island. They
reportedly had agreed to take the boat, the yacht Wahoo, to Brazil. It would take them more than 8 hours. The trip
was peaceful until the yacht’s boom (吊杆) turned suddenly. It hit Arne Murke and knocked him in the water.
“Luckily, I knew the trick with the jeans,” he told The New Zealand Herald newspaper. “Without the jeans, I
wouldn’t be here today. They were really the things that saved me.” He tied knots at the end of the legs and pulled
them over water to get air inside. He then forced his jeans under water to trap air and create a life jacket. Murke
added that he took the yacht delivery job in order to raise money for his 10-month-old daughter. She lives with his
girlfriend in the Philippines. “While I was in the water I was just thinking, I can’t leave my daughter behind
without a father. That was the biggest motivation,” he said.
A rescue helicopter found the German about 3 and a half hours after he fell from the boat. Images of Murke
floating in the water while being rescued have been appearing on the Internet. A rescue coordinator said in a
statement that the yacht had communications devices which helped call rescuers. Without these devices, it may
have turned out differently.
24. Arne Murke thought he had saved his life by ________.
.
A holding the yacht’s boom
B. changing his jeans into a life jacket
C. putting on the life jacket on the yacht
D. calling rescuers with communications devices
25. Arne Murke had the greatest will to live on because of his ________.
A. brother B. daughter C. girlfriend D. friends
26. What do you think of Arne Murke?
A. Brave and honest. B. Calm and smart.

C Careful and generous. D. Patient and humorous.

Many students study with little thought about what comes after they study for a period of time.
But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at theirphone or computer. They might even play video games or watch television.
But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied.
The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after you study for a period of time, your brain gets a chance
to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation (刺激) from electronic devices, games, lights and
so on.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning-what
is called “wakeful rest.” If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for
five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you
get. It is really that easy!
In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning.
The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways.
A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally (最佳地)
and therefore cannot learn efficiently.” It also says, “sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is
necessary for learning new information.”
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. Speaking with the U.S. National
Institutes of Health, or NIH, he noted that new memories can be hard to keep.
“When we first form memories, they’re in a very raw and fragile form,” he said.
Sleep is important for forming memories. Stickgold told the NIH “you get very little benefit from cutting
corners.”
The National Sleep Foundation suggests that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours
of sleep per day. Teenagers may need slightly more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study session. Then try to get a good night’s sleep.
That’s it-a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
27. From the passage, we can know that ________.
A. good memory needs enough sleep
B. learning benefits much from resting
C. playing games makes your brain work better
D. sleep helps people focus attention on study
28. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To improve on our learning methods.
B. To research the hours of sleep for different ages.
C. To encourage us to explore the benefits of resting.D. To give suggestions on remembering after learning.
29. The word “fragile” probably means “________”.
A. easily broken B. strong enough
C. likely to be ill D. seriously hurt
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Things to Do after You Study. B. Ways to Go about Your Study.
C. How to Learn Well. D. How to Focus on Attention.
D
Number of Kids Watching Online Videos Doubled in 4 Years
A new study has found that the number of young Americans who watch online videos each day has more than
.
doubled in the past four years
,
The findings were based on a survey of about 1 700 young people aged 8 to 18. The group researches youth
technology activity and offers guidance for parents.
The survey found that all screen time for young Americans did not change much over the past four years. On
average, preteens spent just under five hours of screen time on devices (phones or computers etc.) each day. Teens
had about seven and a half hours of screen time. The numbers did not include time young people spent on their
devices doing homework, reading books or listening to music.
Common Sense Media’s director of research, Michael Robb, told The Associated Press that such screen time
among American youth “really is the air they breathe”.
The findings suggest a continuing change by young people to move away from traditional television to watch
online videos.
YouTube, which is owned by Google, was the number one choice of youth for online videos, even among the
preteens surveyed.
Robb said the common use of YouTube by young people “puts a lot of pressure(压力)” on parents to find ways
to limit what their children see.
In answer to the survey, YouTube said the company is rethinking the way to solve the problem.
But experts say it is easy for many children to get to the videos they want to watch, whether on YouTube or
another service.
Sarah Domoff is a professor at Central Michigan University who studies the effects of technology on youth
and families. She told the AP that parents often do not have the time or skills to limit what their children are
watching effectively. Domoff said she thinks many parents could do more to try to track(追踪) the screen time of
their children. She added, however, that tools aimed at limiting usage on services such as YouTube could be greatlyimproved. “It’s really hard to block out certain things unless you’re really standing over(监视) your child,” Domoff
said.
31. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Time that preteens spent on all screens now is less than teens’.
B. Young Americans didn’t spend more time on screen in the past four years.
C. More young Americans watch online videos now than in the past four years.
D. Young people spent more time on homework and books than online videos in the past four years.
32. What puts a lot of pressure on parents according to Robb’s words?
A. Many more young people use YouTube.
B. YouTube is too difficult for the old to log in.
C. YouTube is much easier for young people to log in.
D. Young Americans think YouTube is ordinary enough.
33. What will probably happen after YouTube’s answer to the survey?
A. It’s impossible for kids to watch videos online freely.
B. No change will happen after YouTube improve the way.
C. YouTube will cooperate with other companies in service.
D. YouTube will be able to improve the way as parents would like.

Do you know a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you will get.” The
surprise is part of the fun. Now blind boxes are quite popular. Merchants（商家）fill the box with random（随机
的） toys which usually come from movies, comics and cartoons. Many people are eager to buy them to find out
what will be inside.
The earliest blind boxes originated in Japan, it was a New Year’s tradition. At that time, they called it “a lucky
bag”. Blind boxes were introduced to China in 2014. According to a 2019 T-mall（天猫）report, the mini-series of
Labubu blind box, designed by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was sold 55,000 in just 9 seconds during the Singles
Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The cute
miniature-sized cartoon figurines are suitable to place almost anywhere. What’s more, even if blind box toys are not
their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason
why people buy blind boxes one after another.
“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works inShenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”
Opening a blind box is a pleasant little surprise for our daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each
day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part
of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome. In fact, although the magical mystery
boxes are full of fun, we should come to a rational（理智的） decision.
