21、It was the final day of our holiday: I’d gone snowboarding with my little brother and what we lacked in skill we made up for in enthusiasm, catching the first ski lift in the morning and the last lift in the afternoon. That day, we were in high spirits. We stopped near the top of an off-piste section (非滑雪场区域) that went through forests. I’d done this route a few times before and, as I was faster and more experienced, I let my brother disappear into the trees ahead, figuring I would soon catch up.
I began to pick up speed when I was suddenly thrown off balance. I didn’t fall but I lost control of the board. I was unable to turn, instead going in a straight line, gathering speed. Just as I was regaining control, I crashed into the trunk of a large tree.
It was like hitting a concrete pillar (柱子). I didn’t lose consciousness but the pain was felt instantly and overwhelming. I knew pretty much immediately that my back was broken and quickly realised the situation could get very serious. I tried to stand but collapsed and almost blacked out with pain before I got halfway up.
Walking was not an option. Crawling was too slow and painful. I had another idea: I managed to get the board unattached to my feet and moved it under my stomach so I was lying on it. I faced down the mountain and, using the board as a luge (小雪橇), I started to drag and slide my body down the steep, tree-lined slope. I used my arms to stop myself sliding out of control. I descended at a slow jogging pace, trying to slow myself as much as possible.
Eventually, I managed to slide myself on to a cross-country ski path and was given first aid before a helicopter took me to hospital. The recovery road was tough, but months later, I was back doing what I love most.
【1】Why did the author’s brother go into the forest ahead of him?

B．Because his brother caught the first ski lift in the morning.
C．Because the author’s competence allowed him to give his brother an advantage.

【2】What caused the author’s back injury?
A．The overwhelming pain.
B．The crash into a thick trunk.
C．Hitting a concrete pillar.
D．Falling off the uncontrollable board.
【3】How did the author save himself?
A．By sliding his body on the board.
B．By rolling down the steep, tree-lined slope.
C．By dragging the board down the hill with his hands.
D．By using his arms to stop himself sliding out of control.
【4】What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?
A．His recovery lasted too long to wait.
B．He will find it harder to recover mentally.
C．He saved himself and recovered on his own.
D．He is unwilling to give up his passion easily.
22、 China’s artistic swimming duo (双人表演) Ms Jiang and her twin sister made history on Tuesday by gaining a sixth gold at the Asian Games, the most earned by any athletes in artistic swimming in its history. What makes the twin sisters’ achievement more remarkable is the fact that both of them returned from giving birth to baby daughters to do so.
"I’ve been their coach for over 20 years," said Ms Zheng. Women’s Duet coach, "ever since they were 8 years old. When they came back after having babies, their training plans were completely changed. I think they have already showed that female athletes can return to their best form after having a baby. "
The twin sisters announced their retirement after finishing a third at the 2013 China National Games. They went on to get married on the same day and their baby daughters arrived in 2015 and 2016. And after a three-year absence, the twins decided to come back to the pool.
"I think to reach a mature state in artistic swimming, athletes have to go through years of training. What keeps us going is our love of the sport," said one of them.
The 31-year-old twins won a well-deserved gold at the 2017 China National Games. At the third Asian Games, they claimed their sixth gold at the multi-sports meet to be a record in artistic swimming at the Games, and a result their coach wasn’t sure could happen when they first decided to come back.
"Because of our love of the sport, we overcame many hard times, especially the physical obstacles. After all, we’re no longer young. But now I think we are even better than before," said the other.
To be a mother while training and competing at the highest level means this gold medal seems much more than any of the others from before.
【1】Why was the twins' achievement regarded to be extraordinary?
A.They won six gold medals at the Asian Games.
B.They got trained by plans that were totally different.
C.They got the most medals in artistic swimming in history.
D.They returned from giving birth to baby daughters to do so.
【2】What was their coach's attitude to their winning when they first decided to come back?
A.Skeptical. B.Determined.
C.Confident. D.Unclear.
【3】What does the twins' victory tell us?
A.Practice makes perfect. B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Knowledge comes from practice. D.Nothing is too hard for a determined mind.
【4】Where does the text probably come from?
A.A sports textbook. B.A research paper.
C.A news report. D.A sports brochure.

24、King Canute couldn’t stop the ocean’s tide from rolling in — can Africa hold back the desert?That’s certainly what the continent is tying to do with its proposed “Great Green Wall”, 800km (almost 500 miles) worth of trees that officials hope will stop the advancement of the Sahara Desert, which has been rapidly expanding southward.
The idea was introduced in the 1970s when the once-rich region turned barren (贫瘠的) due to climate change and intensive land use. But it’s not a new idea; China has its own desert vegetation project to hold back the Gobi Desert! Thanks to the Chinese plan, the African project aims to plant 100 million hectares of trees by 2030 across the entire Africa. The initiative is a decade in, and around 15% completed, and there have already been benefits for many communities and wildlife. It’s bringing life back to the continent’s degraded landscapes at an unprecedented scale, providing not only food security and jobs but a reason to stay for the millions who live along its path.
The creators of the wall hope it will bring an urgently needed solution to the threats facing the African continent, creating 10 million jobs in rural areas, as well as preventing 250 million tons of carbon. The initiative is Africa-driven, which for those on the continent, is vital, and may hold the key to success. “The Great Green Wall…is about ownership, and that has been the failure of development aid because people were never identified with it,” said Elvis Paul Tangam, African Union Commissioner for the Sahara and Sahel Great Green Wall Initiative.“But this time they identify. This is the very thing of us!”
The wall may seem like a moonshot, but all the best ideas usually are. As Thomas Sankara, former president of Burkina Faso said in 1985, “You can not carry out fundamental change without a certain degree of madness. The courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.”
【1】What does Africa’s “Great Green Wall” aim for?
A．Offering more jobs for locals.
B．Stopping the expansion of desert.
C．Creating a harmonious society.
D．Improving African landscapes.
【2】Where did Africa got the inspiration?
A．From their practices of planting trees.
B．From the process of stopping flooding.
C．From China’s success in desert control.
D．From Africans’ wisdom and hard work.
【3】What does “us” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．African Unions.
B．All advocates.
C．Land owners.
D．All Africans.
【4】How does Thomas Sankara feel about the initiative?
A．Daring.
B．Effortless.
C．Critical.
D．Doubtful.
25、Space exploration has always been the province of __________: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries __________the first manned rockets started to fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, those words, too, had a __________ quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and __________ in much the same way as the most famous __________ speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and __________ American society. __________, in many ways the two dreams ended up __________ each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its __________.
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand __________ to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no __________. The continuous argument is that __________ are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury—_________ saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.
But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most value for the money spent. They will serve as modern Magellans, __________ out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within __________ of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could __________.
The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us — not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the ________ they produce, but because the two types of dreams support each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can __________ what were once considered great limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will overcome these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the __________. The more evidence we collect that our species is __________ greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.
