21、Many things make the 2022 World Cup one of the most unique world cups in the history of football. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most interesting facts about the 2022 World Cup that make it unique in every way.
1. Application of the new technology
Earlier this year Adidas revealed “Al Rihla,” the official match ball of the 2022 World Cup. Al Rihla translates as “the journey” in Arabic and it is designed to support the highest game speeds as it travels faster in flight than any FIFA World Cup ball created before it in the tournament’s 92-year history. The new ball features the latest Adidas Suspension System at its core, containing a motion sensor that tracks every touch of the game at a rate of 500 times per second.
2. Record number of visitors
One of the most interesting facts about FIFA 2022 in Qatar is the number of visitors expected to arrive in the country during the event. As expected, the 2022 World Cup Qatar will probably receive a record number of visitors by the time the tournament ends. The reason behind this is simple to understand. Being one of the best countries in the Middle East, Qatar is also located right in the center of the world and close to most of the countries in the world.
3. Stadium is equipped with Centralized Air Conditioning
While the World Cup is nearly impossible to hold during the summer given the fact that temperatures in Qatar can touch 50 degrees Celsius, switching to the winter slot has brought some peace. However, is the problem solved? As far as winter is concerned, even daytime temperatures during winter can be quite high. Therefore, Qatar has found a solution to this. For the first time, the country host the World Cup in an air-conditioned stadium. All eight stadiums are fully air-conditioned, providing fans with a comfortable viewing experience.
【1】In the 2022 World Cup, which is the new ball’s feature?
A．The speed sensor.
B．The core.
C．The suspension system.
D．The monitor.
【2】Why is Qatar likely to receive a record number of visitors by the end of the 2022 World Cup?
A．Qatar is easy to reach.
B．Qatar is a beautiful country to visit.
C．Qatar is the richest country in the Middle East.
D．Qatar is close to most of the countries in the world.
【3】How does Qatar address the problem that the temperature is too high?
A．Switch the game to the winter slot.
B．Cool drinks are offered to audience for free.

22、People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的):They have a very powerful psychological（心理上的）need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
【1】According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money___.
A．and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys
B．in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C．just to meet his or her strong psychological need
D．and feels he or she is cheated
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A．People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.
B．Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spending habits to increase sales.
C．Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D．Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．The psychology of money-spending habits.
B．The habits of compulsive spenders.
C．A special psychology of bargain hunting.
D．The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.
【4】From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____.
A．are really unreasonable
B．need special treatment
C．are really beyond drugs
D．can never get any help to solve their problems with money

24、 A flock of wild mandarin ducks(鸳鸯) are the biggest draw in the West Lake scenic area in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, with tourists flocking from around the country to see them. However, some of the tourists have been feeding the ducks, even pulling them by the neck to force-feed them. On Monday, a video claiming that some of the ducks had died from over-feeding went viral on social networking sites.
Although there are prominent signboards warning people against feeding them, tourists just cannot hold back. Some even believe the ducks are underfed and they are doing them a favor, little realizing that their action can be detrimental to the birds' health.
Human food does not always go down well with ducks, particularly potato chips, as the oily snack can damage the health of mandarin ducks. However, tourists can frequently be seen feeding the ducks food that the birds cannot digest. Besides, feeding the ducks could stop them from competing in the wild to find their food. If they become dependent on food provided by humans, they will lose their survival skills. Also, by giving food to them, the tourists are polluting the environment. Especially, food thrown into the water could harm the ecosystem there.
However, the tourists know little about the harm they cause to the environment and there is a need to create awareness about it. Meanwhile, the number of mandarin ducks at West Lake has dropped from 336 last year to 260 this year. Maybe the declining numbers will wake the tourists up to this reality.
【1】What is the main reason for the ducks' death in the West Lake according to the passage?
A.The ducks are fed with oily snacks. B.The tourists fail to see the warning signs.
C.The tourists feed the ducks too much food. D.The tourists kill the ducks by pulling their necks.
【2】What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.harmful. B.sensitive. C.vital. D.beneficial.
【3】What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.Human food is not suitable for ducks to digest.
B.Food thrown into the water does harm to the ecosystem.
C.Tourists' feeding ducks may have a bad effect on ducks and the environment.
D.Ducks may lose their survival skills if receiving food from people all the time.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph about mandarin ducks in the West Lake?
A.More mandarin ducks are seen in the West Lake this year than before.
B.People have already known the damage they did to the mandarin ducks.
C.More mandarin ducks are likely to be introduced to the West Lake in the future.
D.It's high time that people should be aware of the harm to ducks caused by overfeeding.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern and physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientists offer the following advice to teenagers: First, find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.
There are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. 'Overweight' means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. 'Inactive' means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. 'Active' refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to experts, overweight teenagers should work out to keep healthy. Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories. Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger. The same rule is also suitable for active teenagers.
Experts also suggest one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. They are really important in order to prevent injuries. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
