21、Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How frustrating! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off ” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
【1】According to the scientists, why do some people gain weight easily?
A．Because their genes cause the tendency.
B．Because their bodies do not make fat.
C．Because their bodies store energy from food as fat.
D．Because they eat more than they need each day.
【2】What do we know about the experiment?
A．They did the experiment to find the gene that stop people from gaining weight.
B．They did the experiment to find the reason why people gain weight.
C．They did the experiment to show the importance of healthy food.
D．They did the experiment to show the importance of regular exercise.
【3】What may lead to high blood pressure according to the study?
A．The balanced diet.
B．The weight problems.
C．The lack of exercise.
D．The lack of drugs.
【4】What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?
A．To inform us of serious side effects of the weight-loss drugs.
B．To introduce a breakthrough of the weight-loss drugs.
C．To advise us to develop a healthy lifestyle.
D．To encourage us to develop and test new drugs.
22、 Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you’ll like. Hercules-sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant-big, but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception.
The next few days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and inhaled(吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from his chores, was unable to appreciate his work.
On the third day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables. Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable!
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Reluctantly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet(天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.
That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
【1】Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm?
A.To better his views on life. B.To show him the beauty of nature.
C.To change his attitude to Aunt Letty. D.To prevent him using a mobile phone.
【2】What can we infer about Eduardo from the last four paragraphs?
A.He discovered the horse was wild.
B.He realized working hard would pay off.
C.He came to appreciate the life on the farm.
D.He found Aunt Letty impatient but inspiring.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Aunt Letty’s Farm B.Sweet Country Air
C.A Remarkable Horse D.Busy Country Life

24、After winning the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China has been striving to hold a high-tech Winter Games. Now, as the games are approaching, the viewers can learn how innovative technologies are being used, especially in the construction of venues.
For example, how the National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was turned into the “Ice Cube”. The main change is to turn the four-lane swimming pool into a curling rink (冰场). According to Xinhua, the “transformation” will be completed by using a quick-disassembly (快速拆除的) system. Simply put, the water will be drained (抽干) from the pool and then a convertible (可移动的) frame will be built and put inside. The frame is made up of 2,600 H-shape steel columns and has a height of three meters and a length of two meters, China News Service reported.
Another major technology applied can be seen at the National Speed Skating Oval (NSSO) , known as the “Ice Ribbon”. Traditionally, freon, which harms the ozone layer, was used in the ice-making process. But NSSO adopts an environmentally friendly technology, which uses carbon dioxide to make ice.
For another new venue, the National Sliding Center, the design team was confronted with a tricky problem. The center features a 1.9m sliding track. The center is located on the southern slope of Xiaohaituo Mountain in Yanqing. The sunlight in the southern slope is stronger than that in the northern slope. What’s more the Yanqing competition zone has complex terrain (地形) and strong wind,” Li Bo, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, told CGTN. “Wind resistance is the key to the construction of buildings,” Li added.
So they studied the wind filed date in the zone, analyzed the sun’s height in different seasons, and used computer models to simulate (模拟) and determine the awning (遮阳篷) coverage on the track. Finally, the team developed a system combining the terrain and awning to reduce the impact of solar radiation.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “striving” in paragraph 1______?
A．fighting bravely
B．criticizing severely
C．working hard
D．thinking highly
【2】What can learn about the frame used to transform the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”.
A．It is as long as three meters.
B．It is in the shape of letter A.
C．It can be taken apart easily.
D．It can turn water into ice automatically.
【3】What is the benefit of the technology used to build the National Sliding Center?
A．It can cut carbon emissions significantly.
B．It can absorb harmful chemicals freon releases.
C．It helps athletes quickly familiarize themselves with the complex terrain.
D．It can reduce the impact of strong wind and solar radiation.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A comparison of some Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
B．Technologies used to build the Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
C．China’s mission of holding the Beijing Winter Olympics.
D．The difficulties of venue transformation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.

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。
“Never give up! Never give up!” chanted(吟唱)my two young children, Max and Charley, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi. My mom Mimi was leading Max and Charley on another adventure,straight off the beach where they’d spent the day building sand castles and playing in the waves. This time, they were seeking an ice-cream truck.
Over the years, Mimi had become our family’s tower of positivity. It wasn’t a title she earned without effort, however. Having been a single mother at only forty years old and left to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone, she faced countless challenges. She had been the one who had to make the decision to remove our dad from life support fourteen days after he was in a car accident.
My mom could have lived under a black cloud. Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the high mountaintop in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking beauty or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mom taught us just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.
She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren. Before starting her adventure with Max and Charley on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the familiar clang(叮当声)of the ice-cream man＇s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly，spotting his shining green shirt and catching the gleam(闪光)of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. Happily, the ice-cream man’s visit was a daily occurrence on the beach, although the time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck wasn’t long. One must be quick to catch him.
Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. Mimi smiled and said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry off to find it at its next stop.
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。
They walked block after block.
