22、Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a goal that first attracted me at age 10, when my Dad uncovered an old projector to show me the slides from his own climb. He climbed to the top in 1978. Twenty years of Kilimanjaro stories and “do as I say, not as I did” training advice later, I followed his footsteps to the roof of Africa.
I went into the long journey expecting cold nights. Dad’s advice to sleep in my clothes saved me on those biting, freezing mornings. I prepared well for those headaches caused by high altitude. What I couldn’t have prepared for on this Kili climb, though, was the need for football shoes.
My husband, his brother, and I stopped at a gas station on the way to the Rongai trail gate to pick up snacks and water for the long journey. Sticking to a shopping list has never been our strong suit, which is one of the many reasons a tiny Manchester United football was the first item on our receipt.
Within minutes, this silly little impulse buy changed the entire dynamic of our trip. Our porters went from cold to smiling as we played with the football alongside the fuel tanks. A full game was held as we hit the Rongai Trail’s first camp. We went from climbing clients to fast friends — and then family — with the nicknames to prove it. Shemeji, Swahili for sister-in-law, became my climbing name (I was “in-law” because the porters saw the boys as brothers).
When I first boarded the flight to Kilimanjaro, I was laser-focused on reaching the summit. But this tiny little football — and the relationships it brought — quickly changed that. Our journey up Kilimanjaro was unlike any climbing experience I’d ever imagined. It’s also one I know my football — loving Dad — who passed away three months before our climb — would have been proud of.

B．Confused.
C．Regretful.
D．Satisfied.
【4】What can be the best title of this text?
A．Mountain Climbing With a Football
B．Kilimanjaro, a Magical Mountain

D．My Spiritual Support in Climbing
23、With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the roar of traffic, featuring recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, as its ancient grey-walled alleys are known, fragments of an older soundscape can be heard.
The song of caged crickets is one. Hung in the doorways of courtyard homes, the insects bring a rural note into the city. A quarter-century ago their song was common.
Another relic is the musical sound produced by steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates attract customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats. But numbers are falling.
An almost-vanished Beijing sound is one of the strangest. Like the noise of flying saucers in an old science-fiction film, it is made by pigeon whistles. Tiny flutes made from bamboo, these are sewn into the tail feathers of pigeons kept in rooftop cage. The birds are released twice a day to circle in the sky. Even 20 years ago, it was possible to hear this melodic noise in the hutongs.
Modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide avenues and shiny skyscrapers, leaving no room for pigeon lofts(鸽舍). Zhang Baotong is one of Beijinig’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He is advising a museum of sound in Songzhuang, a suburb of Beijing that is popular with artists. A rooftop cage is planned, with more than 100 pigeons that will take to the skies for visitors.
The co-founder of the museum, Colin Siyuan Chinnery, is a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the rattles(拨浪鼓) and rhythmic cries used by fortune tellers and medicine sellers, doctors, barbers and knife sharpeners. Many of these will be showcased in an exhibition about old Beijing narrated by an animation of Mr. Zhang. Other places had traders’ cries, but true Beijingers dismiss sellers elsewhere as mere loud shouters; Beijingers’ pride is one tradition that never fades, Mr. Chinnery says.
【1】Why does the author mention the song of caged crickets in paragraph 2?
A．To promote insect conservation.
B．To highlight urban development.
C．To explain the decline of hutongs.
D．To illustrate a typical hutong sound.
【2】What can be heard both in hutongs and on streets?
A．Warnings from buses.
B．Song of caged crickets.
C．Noise of flying saucers.
D．Cries of knife sharpeners.
【3】What has contributed to the decline of pigeon whistles?
A．The changing taste of artists.
B．The decreasing number of hutongs.
C．The rapid expansion of pigeon lofts.
D．The new method of road construction.
【4】What is the ultimate goal of the museum in Songzhuang?
A．To attract artists and craftsmen.
B．To rebuild rooftop cages for pigeons.
C．To preserve the sounds of old Beijing.
D．To display sounds from all walks of life.
24、Besides “wow” and “great”, what else would you say when flying over the Earth in space? Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian female astronaut in space, posted several lines of a famous ancient Chinese composition on Twitter to share her joy.
She first wrote in Chinese, and then attached an accurate translation of the lines in both Italian and English to help more people understand. “Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos (宇宙); bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, and indeed, this is true happiness,” it says. Two days before she landed on Earth, the beauty of space and Chinese literature resonated(共鸣) on her Twitter account. Before long, her posts went viral on Twitter with thousands of retweets, likes and replies.
The text she quoted is from the Preface to Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion (《兰亭集序》), a Chinese calligraphy masterpiece by Wang Xizhi (303-361) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420). She also attached three photos taken in space of China’s Bohai Bay and the day-night view of Beijing. “The poem and views are both magnificent as well as healing. If everyone could enjoy the same sight, a lot of pain in the world would be ‘dissipated’,” one user comments.
As the first Italian female astronaut in space, Cristoforetti carried out her first space mission on Nov 23, 2014. In 2022, she started the second mission in April and returned to Earth on Friday night after a 127-day stay in orbit.
Cristoforetti has also been active in Sino-European cooperation in the field of manned spaceflight. She was a working group member with Chinese counterparts to define and implement cooperation in the field of astronaut operations. When not traveling for work, she is an eager reader and has a great passion for languages.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. As the result of a medical accident she was sightless, suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Once an independent woman, Susan now became a powerless, helpless burden to everyone around her. No matter how much she cried or prayed, she knew the painful truth that her sight was never going to return. All she had to depend on was her husband Mark.
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and he became determined to use every means possible to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening until she got the hang of it. And that is exactly what happened.
For two weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, especially her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office. Although that meant he had to travel through the city and the routine was costly and exhausting, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own. He believed in her.
Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she embraced her husband tightly, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She felt she was so lucky for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight.
Paragraph 1:
She said goodbye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On Friday morning, as Susan was stepping onto the bus as usual, the driver said, “Miss, I sure envy you.” Curious, Susan asked the driver why.
