21、 An inspiration for poets and authors, explorers and adventurers, the vast Arabian Desert is one of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. It is hard not to be moved by its dramatic land or its seemingly endless sea of sand dunes (沙丘). However, limiting the physical movement of these natural desert wonders themselves is an almost impossible task.
Strong winds that blow up through these wide-open spaces sweep the surface, reshaping large sand dunes at will. In addition, running water from winter rains carves fresh patterns into the desert floor. The unique geography and constant flow of sand presents a set of challenges to the early settlements, particularly since many of them are situated in remote desert locations.
Fortunately, a discipline exists that traces its roots back to some of the earliest known civilizations, and which has also helped settlers there build safe, stable structures. Known as geotechnical engineering, it involves using geological knowledge to solve engineering problems and it is helping preserve desert operations through breakthroughs in sand and soil stabilization, without harming the natural environment.
Experts have piloted a new method of sand control that involves spraying chemicals onto sand around facilities where there is an absence of vegetation or biodiversity. Thus, a hard coat is created that prevents the sand from moving. This has proven so successful that it will cover a total of 700 square kilometers in the upcoming projects. The chemicals hold sand in place for between three to five years without influencing the environment, at which point another coat can be applied if required. We are now using predictive modeling and satellite imaging to determine the effectiveness of the approach, while trials have been scheduled to assess whether it can be applied to access roads und pipeline routes as well.
But as technology advances, so too must our approach to urban development. And as the science of materials progress, we can expect to see more examples of changing the way we connect with our surroundings.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph of the text?
A．To introduce the theme.
B．To present the main idea.
C．To show the beauty of desert.
D．To emphasize an impossible task.
【2】Which of the following makes it challenging to live in deserts?
A．Sand keeps flowing in a certain pattern.
B．Deserts are remote and relatively uninhabited.
C．Running water from winter rains is running out.
D．Strong winds change the shape of sand dunes at will.
【3】What do we know about the new method of sand control?
A．The chemicals con work for more than 5 years.
B．Sand around the facilities is coated with vegetation.
C．A chemical coat is formed to stop the sand from flowing.
D．The method has been applied to 700 square kilometers successfully.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Our way of life is changing faster than ever.
B．Advances in materials are beyond our expectation.
C．We are in the hope of setting examples of changing the world.
D．The science of materials contributes to our relationship with nature.
22、 A hotel that calls itself the world's first “polar bear hotel” has opened in northeastern China. The Polar Bear Hotel is part of the Harbin Polarland amusement park in Harbin, the capital and largest city in Heilongjiang province.
It opened earlier this month and promised that guests would be able to see live polar bears from all 21 guest rooms. “Whether you're eating, playing or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company,” Harbin Polarland said in a statement on the WeChat messenger service. Photos and videos from Chinese state media showed people watching two polar bears in a closed, indoor space with artificial ice and small pools of water.
Yang Liu is a spokeswoman for Harbin Polarland. She told Reuters that the indoor area is the only part of the bears' total living space. She said they are also let outdoors when temperature and air quality permits. Liu added there has been “very high” interest in staying at the hotel, where rooms cost from about $290 to $351 a night.
But some animal rights activists have criticized the hotel. Jason Baker is vice president at animal rights group PETA. He told Reuters, “Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums — and certainly not in hotels.” He added, “Polar bears are active for up to 18 hours a day in nature, roaming home ranges that can scan thousands of miles, where they enjoy a real life.”
In 2016, a shopping center in the southern city of Guangzhou drew worldwide criticism after videos showed a polar bear named Pizza lying on her side in a glass-walled area.
Harbin Polarland was established in 2005. It calls itself the world's first polar performing arts amusement park.
【1】What makes the Polar Bear Hotel in Harbin unique?
A．Guests can watch polar bears in their room.
B．Polar bears will play with tourists.
C．Tourists have chances to film videos with polar bears.
D．Guests can touch polar bears in outdoor space.
【2】What's Jason Baker's attitude towards the Polar Bear Hotel?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Critical.
C．Positive.
D．Favorable.
【3】What can we learn about polar bears?
A．It's secure for them to stay in the zoo.
B．They can enjoy a happy life in glass boxes in aquariums.
C．They fall asleep in most of the time in nature.
D．The range of their activity can cover thousands of miles.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A．A science report.
B．A travel brochure.
C．A textbook.
D．A news report.
23、The Kinema, Lincolnshire
It’s a wooden building on the outside and a two-screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchair (折叠帆布躺椅). Today, it’s more richly decorated.
“People come here because it’s a fantastic experience,” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special.”
The Cube, Bristol
It’s not really a cinema. It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years.
They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt.
The Broadway, Nottingham
A cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, he designed the stripy(条纹的) sofas.
The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.
The Rex, Hertfordshire
It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There’s a varied program with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call.
People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run.
【1】In Philip Jones’ opinion, the Kinema may attract people who_____.

24、Are you a big sports fan? If so, chances are that you’ve read articles by a sports reporter. The writer may have broken down a game or described one of your favorite athletes.
Sean Gregory is a senior sports reporter for TIME magazine. He thinks that a sports reporter not only goes to games but writes interesting articles. Like all good reporters, Gregory takes specific steps to write an attractive story.
First, he decides which people he wants to interview. Gregory says that getting various perspectives on a sport, an event, or a player adds interesting layers (层面) to an article. That’s why he doesn’t talk to just athletes but also to coaches and the audience.
Next, Gregory puts together a list of questions. He says the questions are intended to “bring about exciting answers and a good conversation.”
Finally, sports reporters also need to understand data collected by sports analysts (分析家), who use the data to make a guess. Emily Kaplan, a sports reporter for ESPN, says that writing about sports includes analyzing which players are most effective and valuable. “The way that we quantify (量化) a lot of those things is through the data and math,” she says.
Many sports were canceled in the spring because of the pandemic (疫情). Some restarted over the summer and fall. As a safety measure, reporters are not permitted to go to games, nor are they allowed to go only in small numbers. Gregory hasn’t been to a game in months. He speaks to players online, but he misses being able to chat with fans at events. “Sometimes, they say funny things that make stories lively,” Gregory says.
For now, many sports reporters are busy writing articles that take place off the field, court, or skating area. For example, Kaplan wrote about how the pandemic affected the finances of the owners of sports clubs. Gregory reported on how pandemic shutdowns are affecting athletes’ mental health. “What this pandemic has taught all of us is that we just need to find ways to adapt,” Kaplan says. “And we’ll adapt again when things are normal.”

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Pride and Defeat
I had always prided myself on my talent in debates and arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally confident of my readiness for the task Little did I know that this would turn out to be one of the most important lessons in my life.
The run-up to the finals was a breeze for my team. Our teacher was very experienced and we were all good speakers. My teammates were open to communicate so we showed perfect teamwork. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding. In each round, the judges had always selected me as the best speaker. This means that my confidence was at an all-time high by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had no reason to even think that I would not be voted the overall best speaker for the debate series.
Unfortunately, I began to get self-focused about the whole business and started putting on airs with my teammates. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be let down by their bad performance. I became so dissatisfied that I began missing practices, which disappointed my kind teammates and teacher. They had no choice but to continue their training schedule.
The day of the finals dawned bright and fine. Actually, I just passed my teammates to enter the hall of the debate finals, feeling the excitement of being able to finally show off my debating power. But the reality was something quite different. My absence from the practices had created a gap between my teammates and me. We could not work perfectly as we did previously. Instead, our teamwork was so bad that even our school supporters were shamed into silence. When it was my turn to conclude as the last speaker of the team, the hall was quiet. Everyone knew that I was the most likely to win the overall best speaker for the series.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But as I launched into my speech. I knew that things were very wrong.
