21、When Tal Golesworthy was told he needed a lifesaving heart operation in 1993, he said no. Golesworthy has Marfan syndrome, a genetic condition affecting body tissues.
Back in 1993, his doctor told him that his aorta (主动脉) was so enlarged that it would unavoidably break unless he underwent a major surgery. “The operation really didn’t look attractive,” says Golesworthy. What he particularly didn’t like was having to take a medicine after the operation that would prevent blood clots (血栓) but presented its own risks. “I was riding motorbikes then, and skiing, so my whole lifestyle would have been affected.”
By 2000, however, his condition had worsened. Realizing something had to be done, Golesworthy put his years of experience as a research-and-development engineer with the United Kingdom’s National Coal Board to good use. He decided he would fix himself. “Learning new stuff and developing new ideas, that was my job,” Golesworthy says.
So Golesworthy spent 30 hours in an MRI scanner, used 3D printing to create a copy of his heart aorta, and wrapped it with a special material. Strong determination together with an original yet practical solution won him the support of two leading surgeons who helped him raise the money to develop his idea.
In May 2004, at the age of 47, he became the guinea pig for his own invention. The operation was a success. It has since been used by surgeons in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands. “When you’re as motivated as I was,” Golesworthy said, “you make things happen.”
【1】Why did Golesworthy refuse to take the major operation?
A.Because the heart surgery was too risky.
B.Because his way of life would be influenced.
C.Because his aorta would break during the surgery.
D.Because he assumed that it would not save his life.
【2】Golesworthy is a person with .
A.resolution and new ideas
B.motivation and magical power
C.curiosity and mental problems
D.optimism and practical lifestyle
【3】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.An engineer became a surgeon.

22、 Ida Nelson and her sister were relaxing and enjoying themselves in the sauna (桑拿室) when she heard a series of long low sounds from a small airplane circling the nearby airport.
It was 11:30 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 70, and, as she told the reporter, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.”
Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem: The airport’s runway lights were out.
Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually.
“Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson told KTOO out of Juneau. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission: It was a medevac (医疗救护直升机), there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.
Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village—32 of them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas (睡衣). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.
The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the little community’s positive activism was a big deal. Not so much for Nelson. As she told the reporter, in Igiugig, coming together “is kind of a normal deal.”
【1】What problem did the medevac have?
A.It arrived late.
B.Its lights were broken.
C.It couldn’t land safely.
D.It needed a local pilot.
【2】What was Nelson’s plan to help?
A.Helping the pilot to repair the lights.
B.Calling her neighbors to help together.
C.Shining the headlights for the plane to follow.
D.Sending the seriously ill girl to the hospital in her ATV.
【3】What does the story intend to tell us?
A.Knowledge starts with practice.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Nothing is impossible to the man who will try.
D.A small act of kindness can make a big difference.
23、We’ve all heard the phrase less is more, and in the case of our personal space, it couldn’t be more accurate. In fact, studies have shown that a messy home can have a significant effect on our well-being because clutter(杂乱) can increase our stress and anxiety levels and reduce our ability to concentrate.
One place where this is particularly apparent is the bedroom, where the average person spends about a third of their time.【1】, your mind is unable to slow down and drift into peaceful sleep. You’ll find it easier to catch those much-needed if you’ve cleared away all the odds and ends that have collected on surfaces around the room.
【2】. The human brain prefers order, and a disorganized desk will divide your attention between your task and the state of your surroundings. As a result, you will drain your cognitive(认知的) resources much faster than you would in a tidy environment. If you regularly find yourself in situations like these, then it’s high time to clean up your act.
Now that you’re aware of the difference tidying up can make, let’s dig into some tried-and-tested ways of getting your home into shape. One of the best-known approaches in recent years is the KonMari Method by Marie Kondo, a world-famous organizing consultant from Japan.【3】.
That sounds simple enough, but where should you begin?【4】. If you’re starting with clothes, for example, collect all your articles from wherever they’re stored and sort through them all at once. This helps you see exactly how many extra items you’ve been hanging on to, making it easier to reduce your collection.
【5】. This way, other people won’t be around to make you feel bad about throwing out things like unwanted gifts. Another key tip is to shed any guilt you have about getting rid of objects by remembering that your home should honor who you are now, rather than who you once were. Should you hesitate, simply remind yourself how amazing it’ll feel to have your space filled with nothing but treasured belongings!
A.Kondo also recommends removing alone
B.The first step is to decide whether it is what you need
C.When your resting area is packed with too much stuff
D.Always keep in mind that it’s you who are the owner of your house
E.Another spot that should be kept neat is your work station
F.Kondo suggests working through your home by category rather than by room
G.Her strategy centers on keeping the items that spark joy and getting rid of the rest
24、 Kleon Papadimitriou, a Greek student, had been stuck in Scotland, where he studies, with no way to return to Athens while flights were shut down. So he decided to take a bike.
He began researching what it would take to make the trip on two wheels. He once competed in a race in 2019 and was briefly trained for several weeks — but that was about all the biking experience he carried with him.
Initially, he thought the idea was more of a “dream”— an absolutely hard long journey. But soon he began purchasing the equipment he'd need. He purchased a bike, and told the news to his parents and friends.
Papadimiriou travelled anywhere between 35 and 75 miles per day, crossing initially through England and then onto the Netherlands. He biked along the Rhine in Germany for several days, passed through Austria and cycled down along the eastern coast of Italy before he took a boat to the Greek port of Patras.
Throughout his trip, he set up camp in fields and forests. He spent the last few moments of each day writing down his progress, tracking the next day's path and checking in with family and friends.
“It's just now dawning on me how big of an achievement this was.” Papadimitriou says of his 48-day journey. “And I did learn a lot of things about myself, about my limits, my strengths and my weaknesses. I really hope that the trip can inspire at least one more person to go out of their comfort zone and try something new, something big.”
【1】What can we infer about Kleon Papadimitriou?
A.He was forced to leave for Scotland on bike. B.He had a few biking experience before.
C.He was a famous cyclist in his hometown. D.He cycled to the Greek port of Patras.
【2】Why did Kleon Papadimitriou consider his idea as a dream at first?
A.Because it seemed challenging to complete the journey.
B.Because he had no riding experience at all before.
C.Because his parents and friends didn't support his plan.
D.Because purchasing the equipment would cost too much.
【3】According to the text, how many countries has Kleon Papadimiriou been to during the trip?
A.2. B.4. C.6. D.8.
【4】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.Kleon Papadimitriou hardly communicated with his friends during the trip.
B.It took Kleon Papadimitriou 48 days to return to Greece.
C.Kleon Papadimitriou learned a lot of things about nature from the trip.
D.Many people have been inspired by Kleon Papadimiriou's story.
