21、 Since it was completed in 1869, the Suez Canal has been one of the world's most important bodies of water and bases of the global economy. But the giant container ship that has been stuck across the waterway sparks a very modern problem: About a tenth of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, and it could be facing a weeks-long blockage.
The blockage originates from its vital location in geography - the importance of the canal stems first and foremost from its location; it is the only place that directly connects the waters of Europe with the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the countries of the Asia-Pacific. Without the Suez, shipments traveling between those parts of the world would have to travel through the entire continent of Africa, adding large amounts of costs and extending their journey time a lot.
Dating back to history, caused by French interests and exploration, the Suez was built over the course of 10 years by local peasants forced into labor. Financial troubles forced the Ottoman governor of Egypt to sell a controlling stake(股份) in the waterway to Britain in 1875; 13 years later, a multinational summit resulted in an agreement that the canal would be free for all countries to use, both in peace and war.
Nowadays, more than 80% of global trade by volume is moved by sea, and disruptions are adding billions of dollars to supply chain costs. Commerzbank analysts said on Friday that the episode could cause oil to become more expensive for consumers because of higher tanker rates as a result of the incident.
【1】What effect did the blockage have on shipments traveling according to Paragraph 2?
A．Decreasing the cost.
B．Consuming less amounts of time.
C．Cutting off the connection.
D．Extending the traveling route.
【2】What does the author tell us about the Suez Canal in history?
A．French peasants were forced to build the Canal.
B．British colonists played a leading part in building the Canal.
C．The Ottoman governor contributed to the construction of the Canal.
D．The canal was freely available to all countries after 1888.
【3】What message did Commerzbank analysts convey?
A．Oil prices would be rising.
B．The incident caused the rise of the supply chain costs.
C．More than half of the global trade relied on sea transportation.
D．Consumers would have to pay more to travel across Europe.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A．A research paper.
B．A guidebook.
C．A news report.
D．A biography.
22、 Eliud Kipchoge’s extraordinary sub-two-hour marathon in Vienna on Saturday is one of the greatest sporting achievements—recording a time that has never been achieved before, again. It is a time on the fringes (边缘) of what scientists believe is humanly possible.
“It is a great feeling to make history in sport after Sir Roger Bannister in 1954. I am the happiest man in the world to be the first human to run under two hours and I can tell people that no human is limited,” Kipchoge said afterwards.
Is he right? Where are the limits of human ability? And how close are we to reaching them?
Raph Brandon, head of science for England cricket, distinguishes between achievements which are constrained (限制) by human anatomy (解剖学), and those which require human determination or skill.
“When Bolt ran 9.58 in Berlin 10 years ago, if you analyse the split times it’s very hard to imagine where the improvement comes from,” said Brandon, “The Usain Bolt 100m or the two-hour marathon, they’re in that category.”
Multi-day, ultra-endurance events, such as Thomas’s cross-Channel swim, are different, Brandon said.
“They need determination, psychology and bloody-mindedness to go that little bit further. Those people will continue to do unique things because you’re not really taking the body to its anatomical limit. It’s more a question of how much you’re prepared to consume and exhaust yourself.”
And there’s a third category, those sporting endeavours (努力) that rely on hand-eye coordination: the goal tallies of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and the batting of Virat Kohli Steve Smith or Don Bradman, who trained by hitting a golf ball with a stump against a wall to become the best batsman ever to play Test cricket.
Equipment has been a factor for many sports. NFL receivers wear gloves that enable them to make improbable one-handed catches. The GB cycling team swept the board at the Olympics because of their amazing new clothing tech.
The line between what is fair and unfair is blurry. Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour run will not be officially recognized. He ran behind a car which beamed a green laser on to the ground in front of him. Teams of pacemakers, 41 in total, ran in a v-formation to protect him from headwinds (逆风). He wore specially designed shoes and the time and date of the event were picked only after detailed weather forecasting.
Jo Davies, a sport psychologist, says recent studies have shown athletes can push themselves harder because of their perception of exhaustion.
Other research published this year which looked at athletes who had won multiple gold medals found that they were different in several important ways. They had often had a shocking and upsetting life experience and had suffered significant setbacks in their performance during their careers, as well as personality traits of determination, perseverance and perfectionism.
So whether or not those limits have been reached, there will be no shortage of people prepared to try to go beyond them.
【1】Why is Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon considered extraordinary?
A.It was made in Vienna on a weekend.
B.It pushed the limits of human ability.
C.It proved that there was no boundary of his achievements.
D.It was greater than the record kept by Sir Roger Bannister.
【2】The Usain Bolt 100m and the two-hour marathon belong to the same category in that ________.
A.they need great determination or skills B.they can be achieved via equipment
C.they rely on hand-eye coordination D.they are reaching anatomical limit
【3】Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon will not be officially recognized because ________.
A.he was followed by pacemakers B.he was caught in headwinds
C.he got much special help D.he didn’t run on the picked day
【4】It can be inferred from the last three paragraphs that ________.
A.Jo Davies believes that athletes make progress in the same way
B.anatomical limit prevents athletes from having sad life experience
C.an athlete who has suffered setbacks will win gold medals
D.whether an athlete can succeed or not may depend on himself
23、 My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.
Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.
This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.
Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.
Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.
“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.
【1】What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.excited B.overwhelmed C.addicted D.drunk
【2】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying
B.some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim
C.There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol
D.female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol
【3】Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?
A.With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.
B.Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.
C.Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.
D.Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.

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。
It was freezing! Temperature was zero degree!
During patrolling（巡逻）, a group of soldiers were passing through a mountainous path. Their commander was also with them. The way became difficult and dark. The soldier started to feel tired and difficult to continue walking down the path.
Just a little ahead, they saw a tea shop, but when they reached there, they saw it was closed. Every soldier looked at the commander with teary eyes.
The commander understood everyone wanted to have a rest. So he ordered that they should rest there for some time.
Everyone sat there. Just then one of them said, “If we could get a cup of tea in this cold day, we could feel a little relieved.” The commander understood that his soldiers wanted to drink tea so he said. “But the shop is locked, how can we drink tea?”
And then a soldier said, “Sir, let’s break the lock. After all, we protect these people. One cup of tea... at least this is our right. It isn’t like we steal things from the shop. We just want to drink a cup of tea.”
Saying this, the soldier broke the lock of that tea shop.
Everyone drank tea, ate biscuits and continued their patrolling, but before leaving, the commander left two notes of RS（卢比） 500 on the table of that tea shop.
In the next morning, when the shop owner saw that the lock of his tea shop was broken, he cried and said, “Oh, God! My child is sick. I don’t even have money for his treatment and now my shop got robbed!” Then he went inside nervously and saw that all stuff（物品） was there except for some biscuit packets. Worried as he sat on the table, he saw two notes of RS 500 on it. Seeing the money, he immediately jumped with joy, but still not knowing what has happened and where the money was from.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
