21、Nenad Bach, an American composer and singer who lives with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) is the founder of “Ping-pong Parkinson”, a movement that promotes ping-pong as a therapy (疗法) to improve the lives of Parkinson’s patients worldwide.
After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2010, Bach found that his tremors (颤抖) and other symptoms were keeping him from playing his guitar. But a friend introduced him to ping-pong, also known as table tennis, and he soon found that both his motor skills and his mood seemed to improve when he played. Bach’s doctor confirmed his improved state. And that’s when the idea for “Ping-pong Parkinson” took root.
In 2017, Bach worked with well-known New York Times crossword puzzle editor Will Shortz. Shortz also happens to be the owner of the Westchester Table Tennis Center. In October of 2019, the first Parkinson’s World Table Tennis Championship was held at the Center, attracting people with Parkinson’s disease from as far away as Sweden, Japan, Brazil, Croatia, England, and China.
Recently, a small study was conducted by scientists at Fukuoka University in Japan. People with Parkinson’s disease participated in a table tennis exercise program once a week for six months. Participants experienced significant improvements in facial expression, posture rigidity, speed of movement and hand tremors. They also experienced improvements in speech, handwriting, getting dressed, getting out of bed and walking.
Dr. Ken-ichi Inoue, the study’s author, comments, “While this study was small, with twelve participants, the results are encouraging because they show ping-pong, a relatively inexpensive form of therapy, may improve some symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.” Dr. Inoue is planning a much larger study to confirm his findings.
【1】Why did Bach pick up ping-pong?
A．He found it great fun.
B．He followed his doctor’s advice.
C．He wanted to improve his conditions.
D．His friend needed someone to play it with.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．“Ping-pong Parkinson” met with wide objections.
B．Doing word puzzles benefits people living with Parkinson’s disease.
C．Bach taught people living with Parkinson’s disease to play the guitar.
D．The first Parkinson’s World Table Tennis Championship was held in the US.
【3】What is a limitation of Dr. Inoue’s research?
A．Small subject number.
B．Short studying period.
C．Incomplete study aspects.
D．Limited subject performances.
【4】What’s the author’s intention in writing the text?
A．To promote a sports event.
B．To tell the story of Nenad Bach’s struggle.
C．To introduce a therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
D．To present the findings of Nenad Bach’s research.
22、 For 30 years, Alaska's northern fur seal population has not increased. But the ocean mammals are appearing in growing numbers in one unlikely place-a small island that forms the tip of an active undersea volcano. Bogoslof Island is distant and unpopulated. It sits in the eastern Bering Sea. Openings on the ground there release mud, steam and sulfurous gases, but northern fur seals find the island to be a good place for giving birth and raising their young.
It is unclear why the seals have chosen to live on an active volcanic island instead of other unpopulated islands in the area. "The surface is covered with these big blocks, some as big as 10 meters in length, which were exploded out of the vent,” said Chris Waythomas, a U.S. Geological Survey research scientist.
Northern fur seals get their name from their extremely thick fur; they have about 60,000 hairs per square centimeter. When Russian Emperor Alexander II needed money and decided to sell Alaska to the United States in 1867, fur was one of the future state's known valuables.
Most of the world's northern fur seals live in the eastern Bering Sea area. They live in the ocean from November to June and return to land in summer, when they breed and nurse pups. Between 1950 and 1988, the northern fur seal population dropped from 2.1 million to 1.1 million. Scientists do not know why they have not made a comeback. Northern fur seals were first seen on Bogoslof in 1980. NOAA researchers have since carried out periodic studies of the population.
Volcanic activity on Bogoslof has remained mostly stable. But Gelatt's crew chose not to camp there during their week-long visit in August. They feared an explosion could shoot up huge rocks. Instead, they made day trips from a secured boat. The crew counted the number of seals and examined whether images taken from above by an unpiloted aircraft could be used in future counts.
【1】What's the text mainly about?
A．The scientists are worried about the extinction of seals.
B．The environment protection is crucial to wild animals.
C．The northern fur seals are on the rise on Bogoslof Island.
D．The northern fur seals like distant and unpopulated places.
【2】What do Chris Waythomas’ words mean?
A．The conditions on Bogoslof Island are tough and terrible.
B．An active undersea volcano makes Bogoslof Island livable.
C．Bogoslof Island is suitable for the northern fur seals to live on
D．It's reasonable for the northern fur seals to live on a small island.
【3】What can be learned from the paragraph 3 & 4?
A．The northern fur seals breed and nurse pups in winter.
B．The northern fur seals' thick fur is of no value nowadays.
C．There were about 1.1 million northern fur seals on the island.
D．It's not clear why northern fur seal population has not increased.
【4】How did researchers guarantee their safety during the study?
A．By observing in the distance.
B．By doing the research inside an aircraft.
C．By taking a boat with protective equipment every day.
D．By using photos shot by an unmanned vehicle to count seals.

24、This July my husband and I decided to move both our kids, aged 14 and 10, from their previous schools to a new international school that’s located in our neighborhood. It wasn’t an easy decision. We knew switching(改变)schools would be a challenge for our kids.
Put two kids in the same situation and they react and feel differently. Nina, outgoing and talkative, has no problem making new friends and adjusting to (适应) the new school. It took her less than a week to say, “This school is great. I like it.” Everywhere she goes, she’s surrounded by friends.
While it took Michael months to say, “I guess this is fine.” Before that, he complained about everything. He’s sensitive and quite hard on himself. Words of encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.
To make our children comfortable before, during, and after the move, we included them in our plan from the beginning. They’re big enough to take part in decision-making activities. We researched, compared, and asked questions. We listed everything about their old schools and the new one, and we discussed every item. We were open with them from the start. Our kids knew what was going on and what was about to happen. They had time to prepare themselves. They trusted us.
Communicating with their new teachers was also important. For the first three months, we kept an eye on our children’s academic (学业的) performance and their school life. If we discovered a drop in their grades or any unusual behavior, we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers.
We don’t aim to be helicopter parents, but it doesn’t mean we let them go completely. Balancing this role is hard- -the older the kid, the harder it gets- but it’s not impossible. The key is to listen first, and act second.
【1】Why were the children probably moved into a new school?
A．The old school is not good enough.
B．They wanted to make more new friends.
C．The new school is conveniently located near their home.
D．The outgoing child can help the shy one in the same school.
【2】How did the parents help the children deal with switching schools?
A．By tolerating their behavior in school.
B．By choosing the best teachers for them.
C．By encouraging them to enjoy social life.
D．By having open communication with them.
【3】What might the underlined phrase“helicopter parents”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Parents who send their children to school in person.
B．Parents who pay very close attention to their children.
C．Parents who talk too much rather than take action.
D．Parents who listen to their children all the time.
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Parents should prepare children for decisions.
B．Children can adapt to a new school quite easily.
C．Children should listen to their parents when making decisions.
D．Parents should communicate with children about their performance.
25、Expect the unexpected
A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “ Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to _________ a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought _________ the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still _________.
All that had changed was that the living room was a _______ and that I was dizzy (头晕的) from _______ into the sunlight. I did not _______ to waste an hour on a tiny insect, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.
It is not only time that we tend to underestimate (低估) — we don’t take account _______ unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work _______, but we seldom think of all the _______ things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day of week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly __________ to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple ________ that is part of life.
If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more ________. In ________ school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule, __________ for myself. Yet I was __________ each time. After accepting that school wouldn’t be easy, I found myself ________ a more positive attitude and ________ results.
Of course, there should be preparations made to take account of ________ or time. Doing so can only help you __________ your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up (过分自责) when something stands in our __________. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.
