21、The engine roared (轰鸣) and the wheels kicked up dirt. The 16-year-old Li Lianyina from Henan rode over jumps, leaving taller and stronger male riders behind, and after a few laps, she crossed the line in second place.
Lianyina looks small in a group of male motocross racers, but this teenage girl had her first ride when she was eight. While spending whole days practising in front of a piano, she spotted her father taking her 3-year-old brother out to ride a motorcycle at a course nearby. So she begged for a motorcycle. Her parents eventually gave in to her pleas and bought her a motorcycle as well as protective suits.
Riding a motorcycle gives her a sense of freedom, she said. But racing motorcycles comes with extreme risks,especially for beginners. The first time she tried to ride over a jump, the motorcycle flew into the air before hitting the ground. Lianyina fell off the bike, hitting her head.
However, Lianyina insisted that she wanted to continue riding. Lianyina took part in her first race when she was 9. Now she races about 30 times a year, and the sport has taken her to many parts of the country.
The performance she is proudest of came in Dushan county, Guizhou province, in 2017.All-day rain had turned the track into a quagmire (泥潭), making racing especially dangerous, with one of the risks being that bikes can easily be trapped down in mud. She was under heavy pressure facing her female competitors, all older than her, but she managed to cross the line first.
Lianyina sees motocross racing as her life and future. “There’s no way back. I think I’ll keep racing, and nothing will stop me.”
【1】When did Li Lianyina had her first race?
A．At 8.
B．At 9.
C．At 16.
D．In 2017.
【2】What happened the first time Li Lianyina tried to ride over a jump?
A．She broke her arm.
B．She destroyed the motorcycle.
C．She fell off the motorcycle.
D．She succeeded on the first attempt.
【3】Which of the following words best describes Lianyina?
A．Humorous.
B．Kind-hearted.
C．Talented.
D．Strong-willed.
【4】What can we know about Lianyina’s experience in Guizhou in 2017?
A．She managed to win first place.
B．She was the only female racer there.
C．Her performance was affected by the bad weather.
D．That was the first time she took part in a race.
22、Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
【1】To defend themselves, oak trees use ________.
A．chemical means
B．physical means
C．bitter chemicals
D．sandy materials
【2】How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A．Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B．Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C．Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D．Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
【3】What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Plants and Animals
B．How Plants Defend Themselves
C．Attacks and Defenses
D．How Animals Eat Plant Leaves
23、Approximately 40 percent adults and 19 percent children in the US are obese (肥胖的). Obese people are at increased risk of many serious diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. 【1】 If you are suffering from these, here’s a way of losing weight that you can try.
Dietary “self-monitoring” is a common strategy that people use to lose weight. 【2】The theory is that when thinking of what you put in your body, you’ll make healthier decisions. Can it really be that easy? There’s no doubt that dietary self-monitoring has been shown to help lose weight. 【3】
Recently, researchers studied obese individuates in otherwise good health who participated in a 24- week weight control program where they recorded their daily dietary intake using an online program. The findings demonstrated that people who continued to record their food intake daily for 24 weeks lost more weight compared to those who quit noting their intake. 【4】 In comparison, those who recorded less than 2 times daily lost less weight.
Researchers found the more often people logged what they ate, the more weight they might lose. They noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary intake about three times a day, rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting.
【5】 Dietary self-monitoring can be performed in different ways — using an online program, using a pencil or using smartphone applications, so it is important to find what works for you.
A．Luckily, obesity can be treated by recording your meals.
B．It involves recording what they consume, and how much.
C．A good principle to follow may be “write when you bite”.
D．Obesity is also associated with a lower life quality and poor mental health.
E．Using an electronic system, researchers were able to see what people were doing.
F．However, not much is known about how long this takes or how often it should be done.
G．People who lost at least 10 percent of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a day.
24、New Year’s resolutions are usually like some of those promises that are meant to be broken. The word “New” in the new year, puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf. But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes twelve. 【1】. Instead of making resolutions that cause you stress, anxiety or more pain, set out this year by making resolutions that will encourage self-care.
To start fresh this New Year’s Day, here are a few tips setting realistic new year’s resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.
Choose a very specific goal
Vague plans like “lose weight”, “exercise more” or “write more” are goals with no teeth. They are vague plans and desires, and are very easy to explain away due to how vague they are. 【2】. Such goals with a certain task weight-age, are much more doable than vague goals.
【3】.
Once you have chosen your goals, make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal. Having a plan and a pathway can help you visualize your progress and won’t make you impatient for immediate results. That way you will have already visualized what progress would look like for you in say, 3 months, 5 months, 7 months or every day depending on your goals.
Get yourself a social tribe
In today’s social media world, it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal. Get yourself a social group like this. However, just as there is a bright side to having a social tribe, the pitfall (隐患) is the pressure. Don’t get consumed by social media and what others are doing. 【4】.
Accept failure and forgive yourself
【5】. Accept this failure; own it and forgive yourself. Being harsh on yourself will only do you more harm so instead learn from what went wrong and instead of quitting the resolution at the end of next year, see it through until you reach your goal.
A．Make a pathway to reach that goal
B．Be patient with your progress
C．Instead, set goals like “exercise 20 minutes every day” or “lose 15 pounds”
D．Despite all your efforts, it is possible that you might fail or slip up
E．Therefore, new year’s resolutions usually end up in failure
F．Change is a difficult process — the key words being “difficult” and “process”
G．Remember you have this group only for support, not for comparison
