21、 The time children spend outdoors could be linked to a reduced risk of being short-sighted, research suggests.
An analysis of eight previous studies by University of Cambridge researchers found that for each additional hour spent outside per week, the risk of short-sightedness was reduced by 2%.They said exposure to natural light and time spent looking at distant objects could be key factors.
The studies involved more than 10,000 children and adolescents. Dr Justin Sherwin and his research team concluded that short-sighted children spent an average of 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than those who either had normal vision or were far-sighted.
But they said the reasons were not yet clear. They expected to find that children who spent more time outdoors also spent less time doing activities like reading, studying or playing computer games, but no such link was found in two of the eight studies which looked at this relationship.
However, Dr Sherwin said they would now need more precise data to try to understand which factors, such as increased use of distance vision, reduced use of near vision, natural ultraviolet(紫外线的) light exposure and physical activity, are most important.
“Any increase in time spent outdoors must be weighed against exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts(白内障)and other cancers.” he said."On the other hand, increasing outdoor physical activity could protect against diabetes and obesity, for example."
Short-sightedness is a common eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurred(模糊不清的), while close objects can be seen clearly. It is much more common today in the UK and the United States than it was just 30 to 40 years ago. Approximately 1-2% of five-year-olds to seven-year-olds in the UK have short-sightedness. About. five million British people are short-sighted and some 200,000 of them will be seriously short-sighted. In some parts of Asia, more than 80% of the population suffers from short-sightedness.
【1】The underlined word “precise” in the fifth paragraph shares the closest meaning with .
A.accurate B.strong
C.specific D.precious
【2】According to the passage, short-sightedness may have something to do with the following except .
A.obesity B.exposure to natural light
C.looking at distant objects D.time spent outdoors
【3】The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
A.giving definitions B.showing figures
C.presenting arguments D.making comparisons
22、Imagine your smartphone’s screen gets broken, or your favourite boots get a hole in them. What do you do? You could buy a replacement. Or you could join the worldwide trend of taking your broken stuff to a “repair café”.
The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre has just launched Australia’s first repair café, in Sydney’s inner west. The crowd-funded project will hold weekly repair sessions focusing on bikes, furniture and electrical items.
The first repair café was set up in Amsterdam in 2009, and the Repair Cafe Foundation says there are now more than 400 around the world. A repair café is a free face-to-face meeting of skilled volunteers and local residents who want things fixed. Visitors bring broken items from home and watch, learn or help as the repairs get done. Some things are fixed during the event, while for more challenging items people might be referred to local speciality repair shops.
Last year, according to the ABS, Australians sent more than half a million tons of leather to landfill—more than ten times the amount that was reused or recycled. Mending represents an attempt to resist the throwaway culture. Repair cafés get people talking and give them the chance to network and learn about the local resources available. And, perhaps most surprisingly for anyone who considers mending to be some kind of drudgery, repair cafés can be fun and creative.
“In a circular economy, repair cafés fit right in”, says the organiser Martine Postma. In rejecting buy-use-throw, the circular economy aims to keep resources moving around in the economy, rather than moving them through it to a dead end, where they cannot be put into valuable use.
It might be quicker and easier to throw stuff in the bin, but it’s more expensive and less fun too.
【1】What can we know about the repair café in Sydney?
A．It’s financed by the government.
B．Its visitors are involved in the fixing.
C．It’s the first repair café in the world.
D．All items are fixed during the event.
【2】Why does the author discuss landfill in paragraph 4?
A．To stress the difficulty of landfill.
B．To indicate the urgency of reusing.
C．To support the throwaway culture.
D．To show the influence of repair cafés.
【3】What does the underlined word “drudgery” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Special network.
B．Weekly meetings.
C．Unpleasant work.
D．Interesting games.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Places to Meet Up and Drink
B．Repair and Share Every Month
C．Repair Cafes Continue the Art of Mending
D．Repair Cafes Fix Things- Including the Economy
23、Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. These two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.
One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success and by the next week he was still missing.
Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone. Barking, whining (哀叫) and generally pestering (纠缠) Brownie’s human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.
Continuously,Ted, Brownie’s owner, was disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”
Eventually, Ted followed Spotty to a deserted spot half a mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!
Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian (兽医) and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses.
【1】Why did Ted pay little attention to Spotty at the very beginning?
A．Because Ted was tired of listening to Spotty barking.
B．Because Ted only cared about Brownie’s safety.
C．Because Ted was not free at that moment.
D．Because Ted knew where Brownie was.
【2】When Ted was led by Spotty to Brownie, he .
A．was curious to find out what had happened
B．highly appreciated Spotty’s help
C．was worried about Brownie’s health
D．regretted not following Spotty earlier
【3】Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also .
A．he went to see his friend and played with him secretly
B．he sent messages to some other persons in his community to save his friend
C．he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend
D．he sent food to his friend, accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A．Barking dogs seldom bite.
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．Love me, love my dog.
D．Every dog has its day.
24、Trying to stand out from millions of videos on the social networking platform Douyin can often be difficult, but a relatively new account(帐号), which has only been active since last year, has managed to do so easily.
The star behind this account is not a young woman with a slim figure, but a 70-year-old woman. Within just a few months Chen Jifang has attracted over 400, 000 followers with her energetic workouts (锻炼). She was once even featured on a reality show on CCTV.
"The main group that I wanted to encourage was people aging 30 to 50," says Chen. "I think they will be encouraged to work out after seeing that a granny like me can. It is never too late to pursue(追求)good health."
Chen's passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of desire to become famous. Her health had been poor since she was a child. In 2018, she was diagnosed with a lot of problems such as a fatty liver and hyperlipidemia(高血脂). The doctor suggested that she exercise more to stop the further decline of her already poor health.
Overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach persuaded her to enter a gym on Dec 29, 2018. "Everyone in the gym was young. They were giving me curious looks," recalls Chen, who walks 3.5 kilometers to the gym every day.
Her daily training started at 8 am with 50 pushups(俯卧撑)and running. After a short break at 9 am, Chen continued working out until 3 pm. She hit the gym every day in 2019. She also gave up her favorite foods like barbecued meats and spicy hotpot.
When her health improved, Chen did more challenging workouts like weightlifting. Three months later, she lost 28 kilograms. Her health index also returned to normal.
"We cannot stop aging, but exercise can slow it down," she says. "Instead of spending money on medicine, it is better to spend money on fitness."
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To attract the interest of readers
B．To encourage readers to work out
C．To persuade readers to download Douyin
D．To introduce a social network platform

【3】The underlined word "hit" means________.

B．Better to Spend Money on Fitness.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When Sylvia was 13, she climbed her first mountain—a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak near where she lives in Surrey, British Columbia. She was overweight at the time and out of breath when she reached the summit. But she loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than herself. Soon she’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. Her parents were happy she’d finally found a hobby.
Sylvia often go climbing with her friend Mia, whom she’d met in a Face-book group. Two years ago, on December 30, when Sylvia was 16, she and Mia drove to Oregon,aiming to reach the top of 11,240-foot Mount Hood, perhaps, a tough job for both of them.
It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snow pack. That day, they started at 3 a.m., following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about 14 degrees,and they wore layers they could easily remove, knowing the attempts and efforts would make them warm. Along the way, they met two other climbers, and the four of the group continued on together.
After about five hours,they reached Devil’s Kitchen,a plateau(高原)at about 10，000 feet, just before the final push to the top. By this point, the wind conditions were not quite pleasant. Due to the sharp and chilly wind, Sylvia failed to have her skin exposed, feeling as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Sylvia and Mia went ahead.
The path the two friends followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 a.m.,they reached a patch of ice called an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. Sylvia volunteered to go first and placed her left foot on the ice step.
Confident she would be safe, Sylvia put her full weight on it. Suddenly, she heard a crack,and a whole slab of ice broke off the step, right under her foot.
In an moment, Sylvia fell backward.
注意：
