26、Desire, mental strength and willpower as strong as those of anyone who has ever played the game, that's what got Novak Djokovic over the line as he defeated his Austrian challenger, Dominic Thiem, on February 2 to win his eighth Australian Open crown. With the victory: Djokovic has brought his overall Grand Slam(大满贯) tally to 17.
“I'm blessed to hold this trophy once again,” Djokovic told the crowd after he extended his perfect record of winning all eight of his Australian Open finals, a win that helped him return to the world ranking of No.1.
Djokovic is the first man in the Open era and just the second (the other is Australian Ken Rosewall) to win a Grand Slam title in three different decades. When he won the title in Melbourne 12 months ago, Djokovic's first promise was that he would try everything to chase down Federer's Grand Slam record of 20. Having defeated Thiem, he will go to the French Open in May with the renewed belief that he can overtake both Federer and Nadal.
“It is my goal to win as many Grand Slam titles as possible at this stage in my career; that is what matters to me,” Djokovic said. “I would definitely want to play for many more years, focusing mostly on the Grand Slam tournaments. In order to have a chance for the historic No. 1, I am going to do everything possible this season and next season. That's what I can devote to this goal.”
【1】Which of the following did NOT lead to Djokovic's victory?
A.Desire.
B.Mental strength.
C.Strong willpower.
D.Luck.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Djokovic was defeated by Dominic Thiem in the final.
B.Djokovic was not world ranking of No.1 before the win.
C.Federer's Grand Slam record is less than Djokovic’s at present.
D.Djokovic as overtaken Federer and Nadal so fa.

A.No pains, no gains.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.Strike while the iron is hot.
D.All things are difficult before they are easy.
27、 A few months ago, the economic analyst Noah Smith observed that scientific advance is like mining ore(采矿). You find a vein(矿脉)you think is promising. You take a risk and invest heavily. You explore it until it runs out. The problem has been that over the last few decades only a few veins have really been paying off and changing lives.
In 2011, the economist Tyler Cowen published a prescient(有先见之明的)book. “The Great Stagnation,” exploring why scientific advance was slowing down. Peter Thiel complained that we wanted flying cars,but we got some social media. But this technological lull(瓶颈)may be ending. Suddenly a lot of smart people are writing about many veins that look promising. The first and most obvious is vaccines.
The amazing fact about Covid-19 vaccines is that Moderna scientists had designed the first one by Jan 13, 2020. They had the vaccine before many people even thought the disease was a threat. It's not only a new vaccine but also a new kind of vaccine. The mRNA vaccines will help us teach our bodies to fight pathogens(病菌)more effectively and could lead to breakthroughs in fighting all sorts of diseases. For example, researchers have hopes for mRNA cancer vaccines, which wouldn't prevent cancer, but could help your body fight some forms.
In energy, geothermal(地热)breakthroughs are generating tremendous excitement. As David Roberts notes in an excellent explainer in Vox, the molten core(核心)of the earth is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly the same temperature as the sun. If we could tap 0.1 percent of the energy under the earth's surface we could supply humanity's total energy needs for two million years.
Government would have to come up with aggressive ways to reduce the shocks. But it is better to face the challenges of dynamism(动态)than the challenges of stasis(停滞).Life would be longer and healthier, energy would be cleaner and cheaper, there would be a greater sense of progress and wonder.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To tell us scientific advance is like mining ore.
B.To keep us informed of the present situation of scientific advance.
C.To explain what is scientific advance.
D.To give advice on scientific advance.
【2】Which statement about the mRNA vaccine is NOT true?
A.The mRNA vaccine is newly designed.
B.It is a new kind of vaccine.
C.It will be of great use to fight some diseases.
D.It is widely used all over the world.
【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.Geothermal energy can be a good substitute for the energy being used today.
B.Geothermal energy has been used enormously.
C.Solar energy makes our life more convenient.
D.Geothermal energy is the best.
【4】What's the attitude towards the future of the scientific advance?
A.objective
B.subjective
C.hopeful
D.unacceptable
28、Have you ever heard about Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Surely, they are all about finding the best deals on holiday gifts for yourself and family members. And have you heard about Giving Tuesday? Here is something about it!
Giving Tuesday is observed every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which encourages people to help those in need by making financial donations or doing good in their local community. The “Global Day of Giving” was started in 2012 by New York City nonprofit 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation.
Unlike Black Friday, Giving Tuesday serves a more altruistic purpose. In its first year, the movement brought in almost $10 million for charities, and things have only improved since. In 2019, many Giving Tuesday social media campaigns(活动) worldwide helped raise an amazing $ 1.9 billion from 27 million donors! Over the past five years, many higher education institutions have also been using the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to ask alumni(校友) for donations. In 2019, the University of Michigan, which calls it Blue day, received 5887 gifts totaling over $4 million, while Pennsylvania State University raised $710 000 to benefit over 85 University programs.
Though donating money certainly helps, there are many other ways to support the great cause, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can video tutor kids struggling with online learning, or team up with an adult to get groceries or medications for an elderly neighbor. Alternatively, call on your peers to help you with a service project that addresses an issue close to your heart, or pick one from the several ideas suggested on the Giving Tuesday website. You can also donate your gently-used clothes and toys to local shelters, or mail a handwritten note to a grandparent or a friend you miss seeing.

29、Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.
Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms , you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.
iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume , and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.
Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.
Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer(手提钻)on a building site.
Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent hearing damage. A loud iPod can cause a ruptured(破裂的)eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves(听觉神经)that connect to the brain. If this happens, hearing loss becomes permanent.
【1】Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?
A. You are interested to listen to others’ talking.
B. You have to read others’ expressions to understand them.
C. You can only understand others over the phone.
D. You always think you hear the ringing of the phone.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music?
A. Listen at least an hour every time.
B. Turn up the volume to the highest level.
C. Keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume.
D. Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music.
【3】What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss?
a. The eardrum is broken.
b. The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds.
c. Tiny hairs are damaged.
d. Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal.
e. High-volume music is played over a long time.
A. d-a-c-b-e B. e-c-a-b-d
C. b-c-a-d-e D. d-e-a-c-b

31、短文填空
American High School Life
On August 26, 2016, I was a 【1】 to begin my freshman year in an American high school. G 【2】 up in Beijing, I needed to deal with and overcome several difficulties. Fortunately, there are detailed instructions for students to follow step by step, from enrollment (登记注册) to the academic program.
Each semester, the school holds an orientation (培训) for transfer students. We thought that would be the p 【3】 time for us to learn more about the school. The a 【4】 we take part in included getting to know your campus, finding your classrooms and learning how to read the bulletin board. The biggest difference is that the students change classrooms for each subject. From Monday to Friday, the schedule also changes. Every student has different classes from the o 【5】 depending on their electives. Do you think that’s c 【6】? I had thought it might be difficult, but actually I had no problem after the first week. Each day, students a 【7】 seven classes. They have five minutes to get from one class to another. Because the hallways are so packed, they often push one another o 【8】 of their way to make it in time.
At first I k 【9】 avoiding attention, but I realized that I’d been anxious for no reason. High school was anything b 【10】 a horrible place. Now I am finding my way despite the language barrier and looking forward to a great school year.
