The idea of climbing Everest disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of
everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal
became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving
behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Everest, my answer was always the same: not
interested.
That’s probably where my personal Everest story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and
his obsession (执念) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found
the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the
first to climb Everest. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not
found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment
would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired
than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and
Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I
began to reconsider Everest.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route
information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around common goals.
I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that
Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls
who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Everest.
24. What is the main reason why the author hated climbing Everest?A. He changed his climbing goal.
B. Everest was seriously polluted by trash.
C. Everest became an industry to make money.
D. The mountain was too crowded with climbers.
25. Why did the author climb Everest later?
A. Because he desired to challenge himself.
B. Because he got motivated by Thom Pollard.
C. Because his old friend persuaded him to climb again.
D. Because he wanted to follow the footsteps of Mallory and Irvine.
26. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Expressed my gratitude. B. Proved my determination.
C. Relieved the tiredness. D. Showed my respect.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Admiration for the climbers. B. Concern about the risk.
C. Confidence about the journey. D. Hope for Everest’s future.
C
Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity
to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths
every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight
the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.
That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how
people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their
creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by.
Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural
experiment.
Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the
runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度)
of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group
density and speed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near.
Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd,
which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow
their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and,
perhaps, injury or death.
Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with
each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how
best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option
may well be to make them broad enough.
28. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona?A. They recorded a bull-run. B. They proved their theory.
C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight. D. They designed a psychological experiment.
29. What was the unexpected finding in the study?
A. People slowed down in crowded areas.
B. Collisions posed a danger to bull-runners.
C. Bulls coming near made people running faster.
D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds.
30. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. People lose their mind in disasters.
B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider.
C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision.
D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How crowds react to panic B. Bull-runs caught on in Spain
C. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the world D. What architects can learn from a bull-run
D
On January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite
causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, China, the
world’s biggest gaming market, announced new rules limiting children to just a single hour of play a day.
Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit.
Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. The case for the defence is that this
is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock 'n' roll, jazz, comic
books, and even novels. As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring (忍受) its own
time before it finally stops being controversial.
However, some argue that unlike rock bands or novelists, games developers have both the motive and
the means to engineer their products to make them addictive. For one thing, the business-model has changed.
In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from
purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to developers’ income. For another, games makers
combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern
video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers.
That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing.
Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses (诊断) become more
common. Clinics are already reporting booming business, as lockdowns have given gamers more time to
spend with their hobby. And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do
the industry any favours.
32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To arouse the readers’ interest about the topic.B. To inform the readers of the harmful effects of games.
C. To discuss whether it is necessary to panic about games.
D. To show growing public concern about the problem of games.
33. Why is television, together with other media forms, mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove that the panic over games will fade away.
B. To show that they are as highly addictive as games.
C. To compare the differences among these media forms.
D. To argue that these media forms are not harmful at all.
34. How do games developers make games addictive?
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They adjust products based on received data.
C. They reward top players with more playtime.
D. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
35. In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.
A. offer a suggestion B. make a prediction
C. give a warning D. put forward a solution

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science shows that stretching (拉伸) is essential after exercise. Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the
connective tissue around your muscle. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your
stress. 36
You could feel sick. You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate
for a period of time. While it’s great to get that blood flowing, it’s just as important to get your heart rate back
to a normal level after the workout is over. 37 As your heart is beating faster and your body
temperature is higher, you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast. Stretching after physical activity
allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore. When you exercise your muscles, it produces
lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest between periods
of exercise, your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body get rid of that
lactic acid? 38 . Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body, which can reduce lactic
acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
39 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk. Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles
that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury. Besides, your weakened range of
motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 40 Sticking to stretching exercise after
physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A. You’ll be at risk of injury.
B. You guessed it: Stretching.
C. You’ll improve your flexibility by stretching.D. It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E. This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”.
F. There are harmful side effects if you don’t stretch after exercise.
G. That’s why people often feel pain in their “weight bearing” joints like knees and hips.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early
age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her
sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her.
Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give
her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in
singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her
down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably
not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and
dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs
you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My
dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry.
We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane
eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the
subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her
original dream would upset the two of us.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.
