I often cycle around Australia and I’m about to cycle the Nularbor to raise money for multiple sclerosis (MS,
多发性硬化症). I have MS myself, but cycling is a pain-free activity for me. I feel quite relaxed after cycling. But
a not-so-kind person stole all of my bikes when I was traveling.
I have been shown so many kindnesses since this happened. A kind lady bought a mountain bike for me to
continue my riding. A gentleman offered me another bike to continue training on roads. It was almost impossible to
find a bike in my size because the bike I had before was very short and required an extra-small frame (框架). And
there is a bike supply and demand issue (供需问题). My hometown got behind me to raise some money. With this
funds, I have bought a bike that is just the right size for me.
So far, people have offered me places to stay, welcomed me into their warm homes and made sure I have
enough water when riding long distances (距离). They also put money in my hands in the street to help me reach
my goal. The stolen bikes turned into an interview with ABC Radio and papers in Tasmania.
My point is that there are so many good and kind-hearted people out there. My experience is that people are
mainly kind and beautiful. I could never doubt the fact that the world holds more good and kind people than unkind
people. That, in itself, is hope! It won’t be long now before I hit the road again and do my bit to give back kindness.
24. Why is the writer going to cycle the Nularbor?
A. To raise money. B. To see the doctor.
C. To have a cycle race. D. To meet the kind lady..
25 Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. He didn’t get the help from his hometown.
B. He didn’t raise enough money to buy a bike.
C. His bikes were stolen while he was traveling.
D. He had MS seriously and was unable to go on cycling.
26. What opinion does the writer hold?
A. Nobody was born with kindness.

It is a common experience: You’re checking through a social media page, and you see pictures of friends
traveling or going to parties. Suddenly you start to wonder why you are not doing those things. Are you missing out
on something fun or exciting? This experience is known as FOMO—the fear of missing out. In some ways, people
have always been worried about missing out on social events. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming
much more common.
While wanting to take part in exciting things is completely normal, it can bring about some negative (负面的)
effects. For some people, it leads to an obsession (沉迷) with checking their phones to find out what other people
are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on
elsewhere. This strong wish to connect can make them disconnect from the people they are actually with. It stops
them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check
messages while driving.
So what can we do to overcome FOMO? Firstly, it is important to remember that what people prefer to pick
and choose to post on social media doesn’t necessarily show their life overall, so we only know a small part of
anyone else’s life. It is also important to accept your limitations. You can’t be everywhere and do everything that
might be interesting, and that’s OK. It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for
a while. Stay away from the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even setparticular times in your day to check email or social media. By stepping away for a time, you can view others’ lives
in a reasonable way. Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Relish them, do them well and let everything else
go. When you are fully involved in life, you will worry less about what you are not doing.
Don’t let the fear of missing out cause you to miss out on the good things you have in life. Relax, enjoy what
you do and let other people enjoy their lives without envying (羡慕，嫉妒) them.
27. Experiencing FOMO, people may ________.
A. like to drive fast B. miss out on social events
C. prefer to stay alone D. be unsatisfied with real life
28. What does the underlined word “relish” probably mean?
A. Break. B. Change. C. Enjoy. D. Remember.
29. According to the passage, what can help people overcome FOMO?
A. Breaking their own limitations.
B. Staying away from social media.
C. Making friends as many as possible.
D. Checking social media at particular times.

Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games winning 88 medals in total. But did
you know that there are many cool technologies behind their success?
Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100m final. With the help of scientific training, he
made his breakthrough. “It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 meters. Each step counts,” Liang Dong, a member of
Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics
(生物力学) expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data (数据) on outstanding sprinters and built a database.
He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal (接近最优的) model. When Su is training, the team uses high-
speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.”
Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis. On July 27, the semifinal match between
China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mimaito was in full swing (正在全力进行) at the Tokyo Metropolitan
Gymnasium. You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform waswatching the match.
Every serve, swing and movement of Mimaito was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo. At an
average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis
Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform, 2, 442 kilometers away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium,
according to The Paper.
The platform has stored the data of more than 8, 000 matches so far. The research team has been working on
match simulation (模拟) since 2018. “Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the
winning rate will change when players change certain tactics (策略),” Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of
the platform, told CCTV-2.
The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting-edge
technologies in athletes’ devices (设备). For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data
on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury (受伤) and
personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported.
30. What helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough?
A. His scientific training. B. Support from his family.
C. His coach’s encouragement. D. Support from other sprinters.
31. What’s the advantage of match simulation according to Professor Wu Yingcai?
A. Players can study other players’ tactics.
B. Players can know their own weaknesses.
C. It helps players improve their winning rate.
D. It helps judges make the correct judgement.
32. The GPS devices can help coaches ________.
A. quickly find out players’ information
B. give proper treatment for sports injuries
C. make better decisions for future training
D. follow players’ movement during the game
33. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The success of the Tokyo Olympics.
B. The advantages of using AI at the Tokyo Olympics.
C. The ways athletes prepared for the Tokyo Olympics.
D. Technologies that helped athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.
四、（共10分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Today, our currency (货币) is a mixture of metal coins and paper money, but it wasn’t always that way. Before
metal coins and paper bills existed (存在), people used a lot of unusual things to buy what they needed. In one part
of the world, for example, people used the sharks’ teeth for money, while in another place, rare seashells were
money.
There are many fantastic facts about the history of money. Bright feathers were the lightest money used by
people on a Pacific island. Stones were the heaviest money and some weighed over 500 pounds. Greece used a lot
of metal coins which were smaller than apple seeds. They were the smallest money ever used.
No one knows for sure when people started using metal coins for money. Scientists have found coins dating
from 600 BC, so we know they have been around for a long time. At first people used the precious metals, such as
gold and silver to make coins. In the 1200s, people in China used iron (铁) coins for their currency. These coins
weren’t worth very much, so people had to use a lot of them to make their purchases (购买物). Because iron coins
were inconvenient, the government started printing paper bills. People took these bills to banks and traded them in
for coins. This is the first example we have of paper money.
Today, most countries use a mixture of coins and paper bills for their currency. In some countries, the paper
bills are all the same size and color. In many others, the bills come in various sizes and colors. This makes it easier
for people to tell the value of their money.
In 2002, twelve European countries started using a completely new currency. It’s called the euro. Many
Europeans miss their old currencies, but now it is easier to move money from one country to another.
34. What did people use to buy things before metal coins and paper bills existed?
_________________________________________________________________________
35. What was the lightest money ever used on a Pacific island?
_________________________________________________________________________
36. When did China use iron coins for their currency?
