21、It was August in Paris. Most Parisians were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were empty and restaurants were closed.

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue(队伍). I was waiting to see Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance(提前). However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre(卢浮宫), there had been a very long line.

It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check(安检). As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The line moved forward slowly and silently. It’s just like trip to IKEA. You only need some glasses. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.

The only sign (迹象) the Mona Lisa was close was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen (围栏) warned, “The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep your visit short and sweet to give everyone a chance to meet her.”

“How short is short and sweet?” I wondered. Very short, it turned out.

My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff (员工) members told me it was time to go. “One photo and go,” they said. I tried to take a selfie (自拍), but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue slowly moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.

I was almost alone as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn’t help wondering: Why are we so eager to see the Mona Lisa? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just “checking in” at the “popular” attractions?

【1】The writer went to see Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa ________.

A．on a Saturday morning in July

【3】How many people were allowed to see the Mona Lisa at a time?

A．No more than nine people.

B．No more than ten people.

C．No more than 22 people.

D．No more than 30 people.

22、When Minna Stess was six, her parents built a skate park in their garden. That’s where Stess learned skateboarding from her older brother and then got very interested in it.

When you are a kid with a dream, life comes to you fast. For Stess’s parents, it’s been so fast that they didn’t realize their daughter was serious about her skateboarding. Stess was often the only girl competing locally in California, the US. She kept winning prizes and finally arrived on the national scenes. Now the 14-year-old girl is the youngest member of the United States team.

Stess’s road to learning skateboarding is not always easy. “Getting hurt is the biggest part of it,” she says. In 2019, at the age of 12, Stess broke her elbow, which made her have three operations and kept her out of action for three and a half months. The girl still remembered what she said then to her dad, “It’s because I’m hurt and I can’t skate that I really know how much I love it.”

As one of the best park skaters in the US, Stess was going to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which were postponed because of COVID-19. But her father thought it might be a good thing for his daughter. “She’s so young. She’s going to grow a lot in the next year. It’s a good chance to be a kid and hang out with her friends.”

“I never thought of it as an Olympic sport because it’s more like a hobby.” Stess says. “But I think it would be a really life-changing experience. It’s great!” Whatever happens at the games, Stess says skateboarding will always be her lifelong pursuit(追求).

【1】Stess learned skateboarding from ________.

A．her father at home

B．取消

C．举行

D．提前

【4】Skateboarding is ________ in Stess’s opinion.

A．an Olympic sport

B．more like a hobby

23、

On Jan 26, people around the world were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the NBA’s most legendary(传奇的) players. The 41-year-old, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others died when their helicopter crashed in California, US.

People from all walks of life have respected the late basketball superstar not just for his achievements on the court, but for his genuine personality and the inspiration he provided to so many people.

In the basketball world, Bryant ranks among the top players of all time. Fans remember him as the player who helped the Los Angeles Lakers win five NBA championships during his 20-year-long career. He started out as a basketball prodigy(神意) who skipped college and took his talents directly to the NBA: His deadly agility (敏捷) and aggressive tactics(进攻性的策略) earned him the nickname Black Mamba. That’s why his competitive philosophy(哲学) is known as the “Mamba Mentality”.

“Mamba Mentality is you’re going, you’re competing, you’re not worried about the end result,” Bryant said. “It’s all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”

Off the court, he was known as a successful businessman, buying sakes(股份) in several companies, including Alibaba and Dell. He also left footprints in the movie industry, winning an Oscar in 2018 with his short film Dear Basketball.

He was also known as a proud family man. His friend, baseball star Derek Jeter, remembered him as such in an essay: “Throughout our friendship, the most meaningful conversations we had — they were always about family.”

As the Los Angeles Times noted, Bryant’s greatness was cemented(强化) by his skill, hard work and tireless pursuit of victory. His legacy(留给后人的东西) will live on long after his death.
