She has won more World Championship gold medals than any other female gymnast in history. She is also the first woman gymnast to win three consecutive World all-ar
2、ound titles.Biles trains 35 hours a week. During training she often comes up with new moves, some of which she uses in competitions. A complicated flip she introduced in the 2013 World Championships is one of four skills that are named after her.For audiences, seeing Biles effortlessly perform makes
3、 it easy to forget how difficult gymnastics is. Athletes are under an intense amount of pressure, and a small mistake can result in serious injury. At the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Biles experienced something gymnasts call “the twisties”, which is when a gymnast loses track of where their body
4、is in the air. Instead of putting herself and her team at risk, Biles withdrew from the competition.Biles rose to athletic glory from humble beginnings. She spent some time in foster care before she and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted as very young children by their grandfather Ron and his w
5、ife Nellie. Biles was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 6 on a school field trip to a gym. She saw some gymnasts practicing, began mimicking their moves and asserted herself by insisting that her parents send her for gymnastics lessons. A coach at the gym also recognized her talent and sent a l
6、etter home asking her parents to send her for lessons.Throughout her career, Biles has kept her passion for the sport, which is evident in the huge smile she often wears while competing. But she also wants people to know the importance of putting mental health first and not ignoring how stress can b
7、e harmful to it.In Biles 2016 memoir, titled Courage to Soar, the book tells in her words “how my faith and my family made my wildest dreams come true. And how embracing a dream can give you courage to soar.” Biles courage, especially her willingness to assert herself in the face of intense public p

9、kind of person do you think Biles is?APersistent and stubborn.BCourageous and determined.CWarm-hearted and quick-minded.DConsiderate and curious.3Where is the passage possibly taken from?AA book review.BA magazine.CA research paper.DAn autobiography.Myopia, or nearsightedness, is reaching epidemic p
10、roportions. In the U. S., more than 40% of the population were myopic by 2019, up from just 28% in 2000, and estimates suggest that one-third of the worlds population will be nearsighted by the end of the decade.Myopia can usually be corrected easily with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, but eve
11、n still nearsighted people are at a higher risk of glaucoma (青光眼), retinal detachment, and cataracts. The conditions sheer pervasiveness has made researchers wonder about its causes. Scientists have proposed one of the reasons why the condition has become more common: Young people are spending too m
12、uch time indoors, according to a report published in Nature.Studies of twins in the 1960s showed that DNA influences nearsightedness. But information from as far back as 400 years ago indicated that genes werent the whole story the astronomer Johannes Kepler thought his own poor vision resulted from
13、 having his nose in a book for so many years. More recent research has supported Keplers hypothesis: The rise in myopia syncs up with a stronger emphasis on education. German researchers have also found that students who attended more years of school had a much higher rate of myopia than their less
14、academic peers.Myopia experts havent reached a consensus about exactly how to slow the rising tide of nearsightedness. But one Australian researcher found that kids could maintain healthy vision by spending three hours per day under light levels of 10,000 lux or more. This is about the level experie
15、nced by someone under a shady tree, wearing sunglasses, on a bright summer day. For comparison, a well-lit classroom is usually no more than 500 lux. Many researchers agree that kids who spend more time outside will maintain good vision for much longer, plus the physical activity could stave off ove
16、rweight and improve mood. The work has sparked a number of countries to start public health campaigns designed to get kids outside.4What does the author want to tell us by Keplers example?AOverlearning might be a cause of myopia.BKepler is passionately fond of reading books.CStudies of twins in the
17、1960s are not accurate.DGenes have nothing to do with nearsightedness.5What does the underlined phrase “syncs up with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?Atakes charge ofBgets rid ofCkeeps in step withDgets in touch with6What is the purpose of the text?ATo explain the exact causes of nearsightedness.BTo r
18、eport research findings of nearsightedness.CTo express concern over the rise in nearsightedness.DTo warn the public of the danger of nearsightedness.Trees are able to defend themselves against diseases. They have both protective structures and protective processes. Thanks in large part to research d
19、one by Dr. Alex Shigo, we now know a great deal more about the way trees protect themselves than we did 50 years ago.Just as our skin keeps harmful bacteria on the outside, bark (树皮) keeps out tree diseases. Since they cant move around to avoid dangers, trees need thicker “skin” than we do. Living a
20、nd non-living tissues protect tree trunks, roots, and branches from mechanical injury, drying out, and diseases.But when something destroys this first line of defense tears through the bark what happens internally is interesting. When an injury occurs, a tree will transform some of its stored sugars
21、 to make masses of defensive chemicals, which are then distributed in a specific pattern internally around the wound. Dr. Shigo was the first to document this pattern, which he called CODIT Compartmentalization (分室化) of Decay (腐烂) in Trees.In making these CODIT compartments, trees form chemical wall
22、s to protect themselves from infection. The success of this walling-off process depends a lot on the species. Hard maple, for instance, can generate a strong CODIT response while species like soft maple achieve only an average level. Some, on the other hand, barely manage to form any chemical walls.
23、Overall tree vitality is another important factor. Even a hard maple may not be able to form strong chemical walls if its in a weak state. By definition, landscape trees are stressed as compared to their forest-living cousins. A street tree is worse off, faced with limited root space, air pollution,
24、 and more. The size of the injury also makes a difference. Even a healthy tree can have its defenses destroyed by a large wound.Humans can help maximize trees defense capability by watering during dry seasons, keeping things out of the root zone, etc. In return, trees will help keep us in good healt
25、h by offering shade, beauty, and companionship.7What will happen first if diseases come close to trees?AInfection will occur internally.BBark will provide protectionCChemical walls will take effect.DDefense chemicals will be formed.8What does the author think of Dr. Shigos research?AGroundbreaking.B
26、Conservative.CAmbiguous.DStraightforward.9What does the author want to convey by mentioning hard maple in Paragraph 4?ATrees can form chemical wallsBThe size of the injury affects CODIT.CTrees cannot protect themselves if weakened.DThe effectiveness of CODIT varies among species.10What can most like
27、ly be the best title of the passage?AThe gift of the trees.BThe magic of CODIT.CThe function of the bark.DThe self-preservation of the trees.二、七选五The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various
28、 customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. _11_Culture shapes our identity and influences our behaviors, and cultural diversity makes us accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化)
29、 into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from our own. _12_ Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunit
30、y to learn more about different countries.For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about the culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable websites. _13_ One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tastin
31、g the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity._14_ Its the same for children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If children are not aware of diversity, then they become close-minded
32、. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. _15_In todays world, if we are able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier for us.AUnderstanding diversity is important for adults.BHere are some ways to fight ag
33、ainst cultural prejudices.CThe best way to learn, though, is through face-to-face interaction.DThats why more of us feel as if we are living in a multicultural age.ETake a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.FHelp them be more open-minded toward people of different r
34、aces, cultures, and countries.GIn many multicultural communities, the best representation of diversity can be found in schools.三、完形填空Peter loved his wife Marion, loved adventure, and loved his camper van (野营车) called Schoen.
