21、On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking with difficulty up to the stage where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,” says Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street.
He was about 25 pounds overweight and had chronic trouble with his back, knees, and shoulders. But instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal: He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise —even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up.
Owen began his new exercise regimen (养生计划) by walking, though he became out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and to design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.
In less than five years, Own was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains.
Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50, in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. The key: getting started, even if you walk just three blocks, which was all he could manage at first. “Think of it as movement, not exercise,” he says. “The key is slow and steady progress.”
Now 81 and retired, Owen exercises an hour a day, six days a week. “It is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life,” he says.
【1】Why did Owen make up his mind to do exercise?
A．To celebrate his 70th birthday.
B．To get rid of his physical pain.
C．To write a book about exercise.
D．To find a hobby after retirement.
【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The exercise he preferred to do.
B．The routine his trainer designed for him.
C．The difficulty he met during exercise.
D．The process he undertook to keep fit.
【3】What advice did Owen give to the people after 50 in his book?
A．They should invest on Wall Street.
B．They should only do some slow exercise.
C．They should do exercise step by step.
D．They should exercise an hour a day.
22、Apple is to open a research lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, according to Tim Cook, its chief executive, as it seeks to boost sales in the country and improve ties with the authorities.
Beijing has been encouraging foreign technology companies to carry out more high-end work on the mainland as part of efforts to revitalize local industry.
It will be Apple’s second facility in China. It already has a new research and development facility in Beijing.
The two R&D centers were “aimed at strengthening relationships with local partners and universities as we work to support talent development across the country”, Apple said in a statement.
A closer relationship with the Chinese authorities has been a priority following setbacks for the US technology company this year.
The iPhone has been losing market share to high-end handsets made by local competitors including Huawei, Vivo and Oppo, which topped the rankings in the second quarter, while Apple languished in fifth place, according to Canalys data.
Analysts said the announcement of the R&D centre was Mr. Cook’s latest attempt to gain favour with Beijing, following the US group’s $1billion investment in Didi Chuxing, the Chinese car-hailing company, in May.
Apple has had to change its approach in China as it faces rising nationalism and high-quality local competition, according to Ge Jia, a tech blogger, who wrote yesterday: “It’s time for Apple to cast aside their pride.” “Their previous strategy of only selling devices to China without leaving anything behind is not working any more and they are starting their process of localisation in China through the Shenzhen lab.”
【1】Apple is going to open a research lab in Shenzhen to _____________.
A. promote Shenzhen’s economy
B. promote its sales in China
C. get help of Chinese experts
D. join in local competition
【2】Which of the following is true?
A. There is only one research facility in China.
B. Apple has always been in good relationship with Chinese authorities.
C. Huawei has ranked to No.1 in the second sales quarter.
D. Apple is changing its strategy in order to boost sales.
【3】What caused Apple’s sales in China to fall?
A. Its bad quality and high price.
B. Nationalism and high-quality local competition.
C. Out-of-date design and false advertisement.
D. Chinese government’s ban on purchase.
【4】According to Ge Jia, what is Apple’s previous sales approach in China?
A. taking part in high-quality local competition.
B. choosing certain customers in China.
C. only selling devices.
D. selling devices as well as technology.
23、Last year, wildfire spread through Boulder, Colorado. It wasn’t a hot summer day. It wasn’t a forested neighborhood. It was winter in the suburbs (郊区) . More than 1,000 homes and buildings burned.
Large parts of the country that don’t have wildfires are now at risk. They include nearly 80 million homes and buildings. That is what new data shows. Over the next 30 years, the risk will only grow. The group First Street Foundation created a program called Fire Factor. People can go to a website to learn what their wildfire risk is in 2022 and in 2052. Right now, about 16% of Americans live in risky places. By 2052, that will go up to 21%.
California will likely suffer a lot from wildfire. That’s partly because it is so big and partly because of its weather. So California will be on the top of the at-risk list. But nearly half of all at-risk Americans in 2052 will live in the southern half of the U.S. The South will be home to the largest number of people at high risk: 32 million. States like Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and North and South Carolina will be “in the line of fire,” so to speak, and so will southwestern states like Arizona and New Mexico.
People are doing many things to make fire risk worse. They are moving to places where wildfire is a natural yearly event. They are building homes right next to plants and trees that can burn. Climate (气候) change has increased heat and dryness. That means any spark (火花) at any time can cause a big fire.
As with many climate threats, wildfires put minorities at the greatest risk. By 2052, about 44% of all Native Americans will live in places at majors risk from wildfire. Nearly 1 in 4 Hispanics will. People who don’t speak English or own cars will have a harder time learning about and getting away from a fast-moving fire.
【1】What problem did Boulder have last year?
A．Strange weather.
B．Widespread wildfires.
C．Huge loss of forests.
D．A rapid drop in populations.
【2】What does the new data show?
A．About 16% of Americans are safe now.
B．The risky areas of wildfire are increasing.
C．The risk of wildfire will be lowered in 2052.
D．Nearly 80 million homes are burnt down by wildfire.
【3】What does the underlined word “minorities” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．groups with foreign population.
B．groups with native population.
C．groups with large population
D．groups with small population
【4】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Reasons why wildfire risk is worse.
B．Dangers humans may face in the future.
C．Actions taken by humans to prevent fire.
D．Suggestions for self-protection in wildfire.

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。
In late December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.
Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way.
“I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy.
I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.”
“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on.
I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working.
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。
“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose.
