21、Carrying a message of peace and unity, the flame for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games arrived to a warm welcome in Beijing on Wednesday Oct. 20.
Witnessed by organizers, sports figures, performers and students, the flame— housed in a red lantern— drew crowds of onlookers as it was guarded by volunteers into a ceremony held at Beijing’s Olympic Tower. The flame arrived early on Wednesday after being flown from Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics, where it was lit two days earlier.
Cai Qi, secretary of the Communist Party of China Beijing Municipal Committee and president of the organizing committee for the Games, lit a cauldron (大釜) on a stage using a torch. The lighting of the cauldron signaled that the curtain had been raised on the Beijing Winter Olympics, which run from Feb 4 to Feb 20. Games events are scheduled in three zones— downtown Beijing, the capital’s northwest Yanqing district and co-host Zhangjiakou in Hebei province.
Due to the pandemic, Games organizers have cut back the traditional relay to a small-scale event. The relay will take place in three host areas and involve about 1,200 torchbearers due to COVID-19.
The relay is scheduled for Feb 2 to Feb 4, with the route connecting landmarks, historical sites and major tourism attractions. The culture and warm hospitality (好客) of the hosts will be on display, the organizing committee of the Games said.
“As a cultural element of the Olympic Games, the torch relay plays a significant role in promoting the host’s international image while spreading the message of peace, friendship and heath,” said Zhang Jiandong, a vice-mayor of Beijing and executive vice-president of the organizing committee.
The shortened torch relay with reduced crowds, will help ensure the health and safety of all participants as well as that of local communities. The preparation work for the Games has been adapted to the pandemic situation, Zhang added.

22、 It seems every major city and town around the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running a gruelling 42.1 kilometres. While many runners' motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they're also doing it for a good cause—to generate funds for charity. But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel —some by plane—to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by spectators and runners. This is becoming a big issue for cities—how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, while protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable (可持续的) ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit .
It's something that this year's London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in eatable seaweed capsules. They also trialled new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run. London Marathon event director Hugh Brasner told the BBC: “There are a lot of initiatives (倡议) we are using this year that we think will lead to some huge behavioural changes in the future.”
Meanwhile, some people still think running a marathon could be our best foot forward in helping the planet. Dr Andrea Collins from Cardiff University told the BBC: “Training for a marathon makes you more sustainable in day-to-day activities. I started walking or running to work every day and shunning public transport altogether. Being environmentally friendly while training sticks with you and becomes a way of life. ”
【1】Why do many people enter for a marathon?
A.To achieve their own ambitions.
B.To generate a massive carbon footprint.
C.To improve themselves both physically and mentally.
D.To challenge their personal limitations and raise money for charities.
【2】What did Hugh Brasner think of this year's London Marathon?
A.It may bring a large profit to London.
B.It saved a lot of water resources and power.
C.It may improve people's behaviour in the future.
D.It may make Londoners more friendly when running a marathon.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shunning” in the last paragraph?
A.Damaging. B.Avoiding.
C.Choosing. D.Changing.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Running a marathon can make more money.
B.Running a marathon can do great damage to the earth.
C.Running a marathon can change people's life completely.
D.Running a marathon can contribute to protecting the earth.
23、Nyalowala’s parents are disappointed. Their son took a boat from their riverside village to the city of Mbandaka, in the heart of the Congo Basin rainforest, where he attended a teacher-training college. They wanted him to become a crocodile (鳄鱼) hunter, like his father and most of his ancestors. “There is a lot of pressure,” says Nyalowala. Hunting for bush meat is popular—and may pay better than teaching.
However, it harms wildlife in the rainforest, which covers six countries and is second in size only to the Amazon. Around 6 million tons of bush meat are thought to come out of the Congo Basin each year. The number of animals killed for the pot has been increasing. More hunters are selling their prey (猎物) in markets, instead of eating it themselves. The trade has emptied out parts of the forest; 39% of it is at severe risk of over-hunting. Everything from bonobos, an endangered species of ape, to antelopes and, occasionally, elephants, appear at market in Mbandaka.
Over-hunting has made life more dangerous for crocodile hunters. The number of dwarf crocodiles, once common in the Congo River, is shrinking. So hunters have to chase the ferocious Nile crocodile instead. Their scaly bodies measure up to six meters and they often kill humans. Hunters in small boats go after them at night, shining a torch while striking the water. “The crocodile does not like that,” says Nyalowala. “He begins to twist and then comes to attack.” As the animal attacks so do its pursuers, spearing it. A live crocodile fetches more than a dead one in the markets in Mbandaka, so hunters tie their jaws and transport them some 200 km downstream. They sell for around $150 each.
A teacher at a state school, by comparison, earns around $170 a month, though many did not get paid at all last year. No wonder Nyalowala’s parents wanted him to follow in his father’s footsteps.
【1】Why are Nyalowala’s parents disappointed?
A.He was under pressure.
B.He abandoned his home.
C.He went against their will.
D.He disrespected his ancestors.
【2】What causes the popularity of hunting for bush meat?
A.Wild animals are endangered.
B.Bush meat trade is expanding.
C.Hunters’number is increasing.
D.Old tradition makes a comeback.
【3】What does the underlined word “ferocious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Violent.
B.Rare.
C.Expensive.
D.Attractive.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Parents care about their child’s future.
B.Financial benefits affect career choice.
C.Children should follow parents’ advice.
D.Teachers’ work is unimportant in Africa.
24、Throughout history, people are now aware that Australian cuisine was based on the old British cooking which was handed down by the first settlers. Modern Australian cuisine, however, has been heavily influenced by Australia’s Asian and Southeast Asian neighbors. The trend, motivated by the government health programs, is towards low-fat healthy cookery including low-fat meat and lightly cooked colorful, steamed or fried vegetables. Besides, like many English families, in many Australian homes, a widespread tradition of having roast turkey, chicken, and ham for Christmas lunch or dinner still remains.
Basically speaking, breakfast is comparatively light for most Australians. But in the colder regions porridge or meals similar to the full English breakfast may be consumed. In recent years, however, most Australian people prefer light breakfast in order to control their weight. The light breakfast commonly consists of cereals, toast and fruit. A heavier breakfast will frequently include fried bacon, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Drinks consumed at breakfast include tea, coffee, milk or juice.
The meal in the evening is the main meal of the day for most Australians. When consumed at home, it is often eaten with members of the immediate family. The dishes served will vary widely according to the tastes and background of the family. A typical Australian restaurant might offer sandwiches, chicken or other meat-based dishes and cakes.
In recent years, take-away food is becoming popular in Australia. American style chain restaurants are common including Subway, KFC, and Mcdonald’s.
With the high portion of immigration from the Middle East,South and Southeast Asia,Korea,China and other countries from all over the world to Australia,any authentic and high-quality restaurants are run by first and second generation immigrants from these areas.
【1】According to the first paragraph, what does the Australian government encourage its people to do?
A. To have roast turkey for Christmas dinner.
B. To try to eat low-fat healthy foods.
C. To use traditional British cooking methods.
D. To learn from Asian neighbors to cook foods.
【2】The main idea of the second paragraph is_____.
A. what Australian people drink at breakfast.
B. what breakfast Australian people have nowadays.

D. that most Australian people don’t have breakfast to lose weight.
【3】The underlined part “the immediate family” in Paragraph 3 probably mean people who_____.
A. have the same family names.
B. do some cooking together at times.
C. live next to one another in the same area.

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。
On August 24, a week before he would begin his second year of high school, Griffin began his first cycle of chemo. “During chemo,” Griffin said, “Everything hurts. Each session is worse than the last.”
I couldn’t believe it. This young man had been going through chemo treatments, attending school and attending football practice every day. I asked him what his football coaches said to him about his cancer. He said,“No one knows,except for a few close friends. I don’t want people to treat me differently or look at me as a cancer kid.”
Then Griffin missed school again. I went and met him for lunch. He told me he just wanted to reach his sixteenth birthday, but it wasn’t going to happen anymore because he’d decided to stop the chemo and give up. It was just too painful. I remember hugging him as we parted, not wanting to let go, as I did not know if I would see him again.
Two days later, to my surprise, Griffin was at his desk. He asked if we could talk after school. When the final bell of the afternoon rang, the door opened and Griffin walked in with a smile on his face.
“Yesterday morning,I woke up in so much pain that I couldn’t get out of bed,”he said. “I just wanted to die, to be with my mother again. But then I saw her in the room with me. She looked like an angel. I heard her shout,’Get up! Get up!’I knew she wanted me to keep going. I got out of bed and decided to start treatment again.“Griffin and I talked much that day.
On Griffin’s graduation day,I had to give a speech to accept the Teacher of the Year award. I asked Griffin if I could talk about him and his story,and he agreed as long as I didn’t mention his name because he still didn’t want to be known as a cancer kid.
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。
Tears fell from my face during my speech as I looked at Griffin.
