21、Have you heard of the following events?
Sheep shearing (修剪)
It’s a big sport in New Zealand, which proudly hosts the annual Golden Shears International Championships. Held in the town of Masterton in March, the four-day event seeks to identify the world’s fastest sheep shearer. The event is not all about shearing; live bands bring a party atmosphere to it. It’s attractive to many tourists.
Lucha libre
It’s a form of freestyle wrestling with a devoted fan base in its native Mexico. Competitors are famous for their well-made masks, which keep their identities a secret. That’s until they are defeated in the fight, which often requires losers to show their faces. Don’t forget to bring some loose change: when viewers are impressed by a victorious wrestler, they throw money at them. You may enjoy the event once a year.
Lawnmower (割草机) racing
This annual sport now has its own governing body—the British Lawn Mower Racing Association (BLRA). It has a 30-race championship that runs from May to October. Most races are part of larger rural events, such as the Cranleigh Show in Surrey, where viewers can experience other events. The BLRA remains un-commercial and donates all profits to organizations that help people who are poor, sick, or in difficulties.
Wife carrying
Every year a small town of Sonkajaervi in Finland hosts the event: the International Wife Carrying Championships. During this competition, husbands have to carry their wives along the track which is 250 m long and features several barriers on land and a 1-m deep water pool. Two couples start at the same time and run as fast as they can. The winning couple is the one that completes the course in the shortest time.
【1】What are viewers advised to do while watching Lucha libre?
A．Wear a mask.
B．Cheer for the loser.
C．Look at the wrestler’s face.
D．Take some coins with them.

22、The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency, and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were unearthed, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.
New techniques are now starting to reveal the army's true colors. Archeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers, colors. After they find a soldier or other artifact, archeologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic.
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around Xi'an's terracotta warriors. It's important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. “We are treating the earth as an artifact, says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum's leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring. Emperor Qin's army back to life in full color.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A．How the emperor's tomb was built.
B．The original colors of the terracotta soldiers.
C．What life was like for soldiers under Emperor Qin.
D．How soldiers started the Great Wall.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A．The soldiers lost their colors very quickly after being discovered.
B．The soldiers' paint fell off because of the high temperature.
C．Visitors to the museum do not actually see the original soldiers.
D．Archaeologists have discovered many terracotta soldiers.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “unearthed” in paragraph 2?
A．Destroyed.
B．Dug up.
C．Identified.
D．Buried.
【4】Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with?
A．The soldiers should be left the way they were found.
B．Artists should be able to paint the soldiers any color they want.
C．We should try to restore the army's original colors.
D．The first step when opening a tomb is blowing away the dirt.
23、On a recent visit to an exhibition, I broke what is usually a museum’s most fixed rule. I touched the art. No shocked guards stopped me or shooed away the many smaller viewers who were doing the same.
This was the Children’s Museum of Manhattan. But unlike many displays for the young, this one, “Inside Art” features works by 11 adults whose résumés include the Jewish Museum, El Museo del Barrio and the Whitney.
The show lets visitors encounter art “not as a child sort of pretending to be an adult,” said Leslie Bushara, the museum’s director, but “running around like a child.” Run around they do. Joiri Minaya’s “Spandex Installation” invites the curious into a brightly printed maze (迷宫). “Up & Around,” a group of large cylinders (圆柱体) made by Yeju & Chat, appeals to museum goers to stand inside each tube and experience bursts of color and pattern.
The new exhibition expands on a museum tradition begun in 2002, when “Art Inside Out” featured the work of the artist Elizabeth Murray. Children played with models of that art but not the art itself. In 2018, “Art, Artists & You” allowed them to work with resident artists, but not to handle the pieces in the show.
“We knew this next exhibit needed to be something kids could physically engage with and aesthetically (审美地) engage with,” said David Rios, the director of “Inside Art”. That means “not just artwork you can crawl through,”Mr. Rios said, “but you’re making art in the same space.”
Mr. Rios wanted children to be exposed to the participating artists’ philosophies and activism. For the exhibition labels, the artists “were challenged to write about their work as if they were explaining it to a 5-year-old,” he said. But if “Inside Art” serves its purpose, the show will start children on an evolving journey.
【1】What makes “Inside Art” different from exhibitions of its kind?
A．Its artists.
B．Its customers.
C．Its theme.
D．Its location.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of referring to the two exhibitions in paragraph 4?
A．To predict the future of the display.
B．To illustrate the improvement of children’s close exposure to art.
C．To clarify the concept of the exhibition for children.
D．To compare the advantages and disadvantages of various exhibitions.
【3】Why did the artists feel challenged to write the exhibition labels?
A．It’s hard to stop kids running around.
B．It’s urgent to enrich children’s spiritual life.
C．It’s tough to get their thoughts across to children in simple words.
D．It’s significant for the children to participate in the creating process.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Having Dialogues with Art
B．Touch Art Just Like an Adult
C．An Exhibition Just for Children
D．Interact with Art at a Children’s Museum
24、According to scientists, a study of more than 50 plants and animals suggests their ability to adapt to changes in rainfall and temperature will be vastly outpaced by future climate change.
Amphibians, reptiles and plants are harmed more easily in particular, according to US researchers. And tropical (热带的) species are at higher risk than those in temperate zones. Some animals might be able to move geographically to deal with rising temperatures, but others live in remote areas where they cannot move, such as in nature reserves or on mountains or islands.
Ecologists analyzed how quickly species had changed their climatic niches (the conditions where they can survive) over time, and how these rates compared with that of global warming. They analyzed populations of plants and animals, including insects, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. Rates of change in climatic niches were much slower than rates of projected climate change, by more than 200,000 fold for temperature on average, they said.
“Overall, our results show that rates of climatic niche change among populations of plants and animals are remarkably slower than projected rates of future climate change,” said Tereza Jezkova and John Wiens, of the University of Arizona.
Mammals might be better placed to survive than amphibians and reptiles, because they had the ability to regulate their own body temperatures, said Dr. Wiens. Besides, while some species might be able to move to higher latitudes (纬度) to survive, “for a lot of organisms, that is not an option.” “It’s a double danger of climate change and habitat destruction,” he added.
【1】What species are likely to suffer most?
A. Mammals in temperate regions.
B. Reptiles in temperate regions.
C. Mammals in tropics.
D. Amphibians in tropics.
【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Amphibians. B. Mammals.
C. Reptiles. D. Plants.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Human beings should find some ways to fight against climate change.
B. Many species will be unable to adapt fast enough to survive climate change.
C. Climate change will cause great damage.
D. Climate change is increasingly terrible.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was just before 8 am, October 17. Pam Bales stepped onto the snow-covered Jewell Trail（小路）. She planned a six-hour climbing hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every accident, including clothes, heat packs, a bottle of hot chocolate…And she intended to walk alone. A piece of paper on the dashboard of her car detailed her trip: start up Jewell Trail and return to her car before some forecasted bad weather arrives. Pam always left her hiking plans in her car. She was a volunteer on the Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team.
At 10:30 am, the weather was showing its teeth. Pam added even more clothes to protect herself from the cold winds and fog. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail. But these, she realised, had been made by a pair of trainers.
By 11 am, Pam was getting cold, despite moving fast. She put on an extra top. Good thing I packed heavy, she thought. She decided to abandon her plan. Returning to her car was a requirement. Strong gusts of wind attacked her back and left side and the only thing keeping her on Gulfside Trail was the tracks in the snow. As she fought the wind and heavy sleet, her eyes searching for some type of shelter, the tracks made a hard left-hand turn off the trail.
All of a sudden, she felt alarmed. She was sure the hiker could lose their way and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf. Pam followed the tracks carefully. She rounded a corner and saw a man sitting motionless beside a stone. He stared in the direction of Great Gulf. She approached him. His head was bare. He looked soaking wet. Thick frost covered his jacket. As his eyes tracked her slowly, he barely turned his head.
第一段首句：Her searching now turned into rescuing the man.
第二段首句：They had to get out of there.
