21、You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
【1】What should you consider first while sailing?
A．Sailors’ strength.
B．Wave levels.
C．Wind directions.
D．Size of sails.
【2】What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The boat.
B．The wind.
C．The sail.
D．The angle.
【3】What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A．Move in a straight line.
B．Allow the sail to flap.
C．Lower the sail.
D．Tack the boat.
【4】Where can you probably find the text?
A．In a popular magazine.
B．In a tourist guidebook.
C．In a physics textbook.
D．In an official report.
22、 Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine you are deep in a forest. Hear the frogs croaking, the crickets chirping and the songbirds calling. In the distance, you sense a waterfall coming into a river,which flows right past you. As you listen to the sounds of nature, a peaceful, relaxing feeling washes over you. This is the power of the natural world, and it's exactly what field recordists record with their equipment.
Field recordists gather natural sounds using complex instruments that are able to imitate the way the human ear senses them. A German field recordist named Carina Pesch said, “So, you don't only have left and right. You have up and down and front and back. It really takes you into the place.” Pesch is one of a growing number of people who have taken up field recording. Some of them do it as a full-time job, and others participate in it more on a part-time basis. The recordings are used in movies or put online, often as videos with images of forests and other beautiful scenery.
To gather the best sounds, the top field recordists set up two microphones. They may use a “dummy head". That is a man-made head shaped like a human's. The microphones are placed in the ears of the head. This method effectively imitates the way people naturally hear. Indeed, the recordings of nature sound so real that they can reduce mental and physical stress because it's easy for listeners to believe they are outdoors surrounded by the wonders of nature.
【1】What is Carina Pesch's job?
A.Making movies about nature. B.Studying how human ears work.
C.Recording the sounds of nature. D.Exploring the natural environment.
【2】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Field recording began in Germany. B.Field recording is getting more popular.
C.Part-time recordists are rare in the business. D.Recordists use instruments to imitate nature.
【3】What is the "dummy head" used for?
A.Reducing the recordists' physical stress. B.Allowing the recordists to stay indoors.
C.Testing whether the microphones work. D.Imitating the way people naturally hear.
23、Many teens may feel anxious sometimes. It's the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your fingers before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a wrong view of life.
On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking at their best. They meet friends around them and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life is wonderful. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn't seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.
No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It's reported that a lot more college students feel —too much anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2016 to 62% in 2021. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.
Certainly, we can't blame （责备）it on social media alone. We expect too much from our children and a lot of these expectations aren't reasonable. Their plans are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don't have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don't care how much it costs.
As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn't and can't promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn't try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.
【1】What does the underlined word “theirs” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Young people's life.
B．Young people's friends.
C．Young people's photos.
D．Young people's parents.
【2】What does the fourth paragraph concentrate on?
A．The cost from parents.
B．The duty of social media.
C．The hobbies of young people.
D．The expectations from parents.
【3】What does the writer suggest parents do in the last paragraph?
A．Try to meet teens' expectations.
B．Help teens with their homework.
C．Give teens more free time to play sports.
D．Allow teens to solve their own problems in life.
【4】Which is the best title for the text?
A．What Causes Teens' Nervousness
B．How to Deal with Teens' Anxiety
C．How to Treat Social Media Suitably
D．What a View of Life Means to People
24、Flu (流感) can be very dangerous although in most people the illness may last only a week or two. Getting a flu vaccine (疫苗) every year is the best way to prevent getting the flu. 【1】
Recognize flu symptoms (症状). Before you can effectively treat the flu, make sure that’ s what you actually have. 【2】 Common symptoms of flu include serious cough, sore throat, fever above 100F, headaches, weakness and so on while symptoms of the common cold usually include mild cough, low-grade or no fever as well as slight aches.
【3】 In some extreme cases, the flu can cause symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization. You need to see a doctor immediately if you are experiencing the following symptoms: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing; chest pain or pressure; blueish skin or purplish lips; headache or neck pain.
Get some rest. Sometimes it’s possible to keep working or going to school with a cold, but when you have the flu, it’s important to rest. 【4】 Since the flu may spread by contact, staying home is as considerate as it is necessary for your recovery.
Take vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for health. Studies suggest that a proper amount of vitamin C can help remove cold and flu symptoms. Take 1000mg per hour for the first six hours as soon as symptoms appear. Then take 1000mg three times daily. 【5】 Though it rarely happens, too much of it may get you poisoned.
