21、If we jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second. Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air. So how do they do this?
Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect. But athletes also interact with the air as they move. It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upwards force produced by air pushing on an object. If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly. The same interaction also produces drag. It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.
In the ski jump, jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed. Just before they reach the end of the slope, they jump. Once jumpers are in the air, the fun physics begins. They use careful body positioning to maximize lift while / minimizing drag. To do this, they adjust their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift. As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers, lift decreases and gravity continues to pull on them. They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.
As you tune into the Olympics to wonder at the physical power of the athletes, take a moment to consider also their mastery of the concepts of physics.
【1】What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Staying longer in the air.
B.Traveling forward slower.
C.Falling down the hill faster.
D.Jumping higher than average.
【2】How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to Paragraph 2?
A.They make use of the interaction with air.
B.They get more forces of gravity than lift.
C.They keep a good balance while skiing.
D.They get rid of the effect of gravity.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?
A.Its training equipment.
B.Its safety guidelines.
C.Its major concepts.
D.Its basic routine.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Ski jumpers flying in the sky
B.Falling or flying is your choice
C.Physics: as difficult as imagined
D.Ski jump booming in the Olympics
22、 How many textbooks does our country consume every semester? According to data recently released by China's National Press and Publication Administration, an average of 2. 8 billion textbooks were delivered to the hands of students and teachers nationwide in the past five years. A majority of those textbooks, however, were sold for scrap (废品),causing an astonishing amount of waste. In this regard, recycling textbooks seems to be a preferable alternative, but many of the individuals still cast doubt on the feasibility (可行,性)of reusing and recycling them. To handle this problem fundamentally, we need to scrap the traditional textbook format and put e-books to good use.
One of the advantages of e-books is that they are compatible across a wide range of terminals, including smartphones, tablets and laptops. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that more than 65 percent of Chinese people have their electronic devices for personal use, while almost every Chinese adolescent has access to the internet. Therefore, the promotion of e-books is just as easy as delivering paper books.
In recent years, more appealing technologies have emerged and are spreading widely among young people. In 2015, Apple released iPad Pro, which enables students to write on a tablet smoothly with an Apple Pencil. Since then, many of the students in colleges take their iPads to class instead of carrying tons of printed textbooks. All of the test papers and assignment sheets are organized in one single device, and this will definitely increase efficiency in terms of academic activities.
As these technologies become more affordable for households and schools, it is time to reduce the production of printed textbooks and promote the utilization of e-books. Hopefully, the electronic documents will be directly sent to our own digital devices, ridding us of the inconvenience in carrying heavy bags to school and back home.
【1】What do we know about the textbooks from Paragraph 1 ?
A.Most of them ended up as scrap.
B.They have been replaced by e-books.
C.They can surely be reused and recycled.
D.An average of 2. 8 billion copies are needed every year.
【2】What does the underlined word a “compatible” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Adjustable.
B.Usable.
C.Recyclable.
D.Affordable.
【3】What is the advantage of iPads according to the passage?
A.They are easy to operate.
B.They can be used to deliver paper books.
C.They are all equipped with Apple Pencils.
D.They can make your learning more efficient.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Convenience Brought by E-books.
B.Waste Caused by Printed Textbooks.
C.Time to Promote E-books on Campus.
D.Feasibility of Recycling Printed Textbooks.

24、Many people quote the phrase from Jane Jacobs that “there must be eyes on the street” to emphasize the relationship between urban safety and design. Jacobs’ views on urban safety were, in truth, far more complex than this phrase suggests. Her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities has become the basis of a worldwide movement to foster safer cities.
Jacobs made an important contribution to our understanding of cities by linking the fear of crime and urban design. In a successful city district a person must feel personally safe on the street among all these strangers. It doesn’t take many incidents of violence on a city street to make people fear the street. And as they fear them, they use them less, which makes the streets still more unsafe.
For Jacobs, eyes on the street came from stores and public places, including bars and restaurants along the sidewalks, street vendors and pedestrians. She recommended the installation of bright street lights to “sharpen every pair of eyes”.
Jacobs widened her attention to urban safety in general, including parks and public housing projects. While most planners focus on the green benefits of parks, she argued against underused or dangerous parks. She observed that parks are successful when they encourage a range of activities and users.
She emphasized design and management policies to encourage interaction at public housing sites. She suggest ed integrating public housing communities into existing street patterns and cultivating street activity by including businesses in the buildings. She opposed fencing and security guards, creating a sense of territory and isolating public housing residents from the wider community.
Jacobs wrote about her experience of daily life in the city and urged planners to pay attention to how ordinary people actually use urban space. From her experience as a wife, mother, and resident in New York, she arrived at a more human vision of the city than the experts of the day did. Her concern about urban safety was visionary (有远见的), and her manner of looking at the city still offers a critical viewpoint for evaluating crime prevention and community safety strategies today.
【1】Why does the writer mention the phrase quoted from Jane Jacobs in the first paragraph?
A.To call readers’ attention to the phrase.
B.To introduce Jane Jacobs’ book.
C.To prove the popularity of Jane Jacobs’ book.
D.To make the phrase better known.
【2】According to Jacobs, what is a proper way to foster a successful city?
A.Warning people of violence in streets.
B.Encouraging different activities in parks.
C.Employing security guards in the buildings.
D.Introducing safety policies at public housing sites.
【3】Where is the text probably from?
A.A book review.
B.A guidebook.
C.An advertisement.
D.A biography.
25、Wheeling her red chair and scissors around, a salon owner gives out-of-luck strangers a gift—one free hairdo at a time.

26、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。
On a Saturday night, I was just back from rock climbing. That was a very cold night, the moon was high and I was looking forward to getting into my warm bed. My coach, Diana, came up to me as I went through the arches to my dorm. She took me to her home and told me that my mother had been hurt badly in a terrible car crash and taken to the ICU of a nearby hospital.
When I reached the hospital, my grandmother pulled me aside and said whatever I did, I mustn’t cry in front of my mother.
A nurse opened the door that led to a wide hallway with machines all around. My mother’s room was right next to the nurse’s station. As I entered the room, I saw her lying on her side, with her tiny back to me and a pillow between her bandaged legs. She struggled to turn around but couldn’t. I slowly moved to the other side of the bed and said “ hi ” in a calm voice, holding back my urge to cry out.
Her faces were swollen like a soccer ball, her eyes had huge dark bruised rings, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms.
Gently holding my mother’s cold swollen hands, I tried to keep my calmness. She kept looking at me as she hit the bed with her hand. She was trying to tell me how much pain she was suffering from. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. Eventually I had to leave her for a moment because I couldn’t hold in my sorrow any longer. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother.
I accompanied my mother all day long. She was able to whisper a few words, but I didn’t know what to say. I felt like screaming but I knew I mustn’t. I went home and cried myself to sleep.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

From that night on, my life changed a lot.
