21、In the United States，a company is working on a project that could change the way we think about public transportation.Its planned system would move people around in steel tubes.Those passengers would be traveling at speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour.

The futuristic steel tube transportation system is called Hyper1oop.Workers plan to test the system next year in a specially built community called Quay Valley.The town will be powered entirely by energy from the sun.

The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk.Dirk Ahlborn is head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies.He says his company has taken Mr.Musk’s idea and is developing a system that will be safe，environmentally friendly and fast.

“It’s 100 percent solar powered…we’re not going to get up to 760 miles per hour，but we believe we can actually break the records that are existing right now.”

This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles，California to Las Vegas，Nevada，could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop.The system involves a series of capsules that float inside a long tube.These containers would not need to travel along a pathway or track.The system has been designed to operate above or below ground.

“Inside the tube you create a low pressure environment very similar to an airplane that’s at high altitudes.So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn’t come up against as much resistance，and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy.”

Dick Ahlborn and his company will use an eight—kilometer track in Quay Valley to find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules.A larger system will cost an estimated six to $10 billion to build.If Mr.Ahlborn and his company succeed，we may one day see these very fast Hyperloop capsules speeding through tubes around the world.

【1】Which of the following is true of Hyperloop?

A. It will travel along a pathway or track.

B. It will use more energy than current trains.

C. There is a high pressure inside the tube of it.

D. A series of experiments on it will be carried on.

【2】We may learn from the text that

A. Dirk is worried about the speed of Hyperloop

B. Hyperloop has been built in the United States

C. Hyperloop will be powered by energy from the sun

D. Hyperloop has reached to 760 miles per hour

【3】What does the underlined word“containers”in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Systems.   B. Capsules.   C. Tubes.   D. Airplanes.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. Hyperloop Is Closer To Reality   B. Hyperloop Will Test At Quay Valley

C. Elon Musk’s Idea Is Under Discussion   D. Hyperloop Travels Around The World

22、   It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine — “Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection — and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread.

According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr. Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by Comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.

In 1966,160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 11-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege. Their hardships were enormous. One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege’s hard work paid off—three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.

40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed one in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people — three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Let’s recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.

【1】What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination?

A.A medical friend. B.A local milkmaid. C.Cattle. D.Children.

【2】What is the writer’s purpose of mentioning the WHO official’s promise?

A.To introduce the support from the WHO. B.To stress the importance of good appetite.

C.To suggest the difficulty in removing smallpox. D.To show his determination to carry on the drive.

【3】What message does the text convey?

A.A promise made is a debt unpaid. B.A trouble shared is a trouble halved.

C.Something is better than nothing. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

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。

I Survived Being Caught In A Mudslide(泥石流)

It was May 2018, and my boyfriend, Gabe Smith, and I were driving from my home in Weyburn, to visit friends in Nelson.

At around 5:30 p.m., we were driving along the Crowsnest Highway, a steep and winding mountain road. I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see a huge tree in front of us on the highway. It was being pushed down by a torrent (洪流) of mud that was swallowing everything in its path. We didn’t know about the recent flooding in the area, and now we were trapped in it. Gabe and I looked at each other unbelievably and said, “Oh, god.” Within seconds, our car was rolling 30 meters down the cliffside (悬崖边).

I don’t know how long we were unconscious (昏迷的), but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning (呻吟). He laid beside me and his blood was everywhere.

Our car had landed on a small area among trees that had come down with the mudslide. On one side of us was the mountain. On the other, a steep drop of about 1,000 meters into a river.

I tried opening my door with a sharp pain in the chest. In addition, my left ankle had been broken. Gabe had broken his nose and cheek, as well as his chest bone, leaving him blind in his left eye and having difficulty in breathing.

As the doors were crashed out of shape, and my window failed to be opened, the only way out was through the driver’s side window. Although it was difficult and painful, we both managed to get out of it.

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。

We sat on a rock with no phone signal, realizing all we could do was shout for help.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With the help of them, we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p. m.
