21、Before the break of dawn, Simon was already standing on the shore watching the sea intensely for any signs of a coming storm. Despite learning from the weather forecast the likelihood of a violent storm, he didn’t change his mind about starting his weekly fishing trip. After checking for the third time that he had brought with him what he needed, Simon got onto his boat and sailed into the vast blue sea. Before long, he was anchoring(固定)his boat in the middle of the sea. Satisfied with the spot, he cast his net, hoping for a good catch.
Simon then relaxed on the deck and watched the sun rising slowly above the horizon. “One can never trust the weather station,” he said, but he had said it too soon. At that moment, there was a sudden strike of lightning, followed by a shout of thunder. The entire sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Wave after wave rolled up, hitting his boat and sending it rocking violently sideways. A sense of hopelessness drowned him but when images of his family flashed across his mind, he knew what he had to do. In double-quick time, he cut off the fishing lines and dumped his fishing equipment into the sea. Eventually, the storm eased and the waves died down.
To make matters worse, the boat engine died. As he was many kilometres offshore, the only likely rescue was to be spotted by a boat. But who would be out at sea in such horrible weather except him? That made Simon regret his earlier decision again.
Exhausted, Simon soon drifted off to sleep. When he awoke, the sun had already risen. Simon had lost track of time and location. Sighing, he stood on the deck, staring out hopefully. Then he spotted it. He dived into the water and swam towards the island a few metres ahead of him. When Simon reached land, he was too weak to stand on his legs. Fortunately, a kind-hearted man helped him up and contacted his family. Though Simon emerged from the nightmare unhurt, the fateful day remained forever in his mind. Neglecting the weather forecast, he paid a heavy price. He then learnt that everyone should respect science and be more mindful of his decision.

【2】What did he see after he woke up?
A．Another boat ready to drag his boat.
B．A rescue team sent by his family.
C．A new boat engine to be equipped on his boat.
D．An island not far from his boat.
【3】What mainly caused him to meet with such a horrible event?
A．He was too confident of his ability to deal with the rescue team.
B．He ignored storm forecast and went fishing anyway.
C．His fishing equipment was too heavy for his boat.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

22、Simone Biles was born in 1997. Soon, her parents found that she couldn’t sit still. When she was 6 years old, her day-care group went on a field trip to a gym. Simone loved watching the gymnasts train and performances. She couldn’t just watch them, though—she had to try their moves. She was so good that one of the coaches sent a letter home with her, inviting Simone to take gymnastics classes.
Simone loved the classes, and she was excellent at climbing, swinging, jumping, and tumbling (翻筋斗). Though she had a lot to learn, the coaches could hardly keep up with Simone. When one girl performed a standing back tuck (翻折), Simone was sure she could do one too. Her coach didn’t believe her, so Simone tried the trick and made it on the spot.
At 9, Simone learned why she couldn’t sit still: She had ADHD( 多动症). Her brain moved fast and her body did too — which made it hard for her to concentrate in school but which also made her an amazing gymnast. “The challenges we face help define who we are,” Simone wrote. “My challenge is also my superpower.” Simone’s superpower would help make her one of the most dynamic gymnasts ever seen.
Simone is one of the greatest athletes in history. At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships(AGWC), including the all-around (the total score from competing in all events). She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. That’s the most in world gymnastics history.
Simone competed in her first Olympics in 2016. She was the first female U.S. gymnast to win four gold medals in an Olympic Games. Since then, Simone has debuted (首次呈现) some moves never successfully done in world competitions, including a double-double dismount (下马) from the balance beam.The move became known as the Biles. Several signature moves have been named after Simone.
【1】Who found Simone Biles’ gymnastics talent?
A．Her parents.
B．A tour guide.
C．A gymnastics coach.
D．Her kindergarten teacher.
【2】What brought Simone the gift of gymnastics?
A．A disease.
B．An accident.
C．A superpower.
D．A family tradition.
【3】Which is one of Simone Biles’ achievements?
A．She has now won 25 world gold medals.
B．Some competitions are named after Simone.
C．She won two gold medals at AGWC in 2013.
D．She competed in her first Olympics at 21.
【4】Why are some signature moves named after Simone Biles?

23、For the general public confused by the heated discussion on human cloning（克隆）, A Clone of Your Own? does an admirable job in explaining many of the ethical（伦理的）and scientific problems. Drawing from literature, the visual arts, films and her personal experiences, Arlene Judith Klotzko has created an overview of cloning.
Klotzko tells us about the early experiments ht Aristotle did with chicken embryos（胚胎）∶ about a German scientist, Hans Spemann, who figured out the theory of cloning some sixty years before we actually succeeded in cloning; about Doll, the first cloned sheep, and other work at Edinburgh's Roslin Institute; and about the current successes and failures in attempts lo clone mammals （哺乳动物）.
The book paints a picture of human cloning as a worthwhile job. Klotzk lists various potential benefits that cloning could have and explains why we might have reservations. She also, following several others, makes clear many of the common misunderstanding of cloning, and puts in plain words the limited effect hat genes（基因）have on shaping the kind of people we become.
Apart from a clear explanation of the basic scientific issues, the book also describes the related ethical issues surrounding cloning. In this short book, Klotzko appears to have drawn on a wide range of published work on the ethics of cloning, and makes a large number of the arguments in the literature accessible. However, the author has provided so little reference to the ethics literature. Readers who are unaware of the literature may be left with the impression that Klotzko is the fist and almost the only, person to have written on the ethics of cloning, which is far from the case-Whether one's interest lies in the science or the ethics of cloning, the short list of further reading provided at the end of the book is unhelpful and misleading.
But this drawback aside, the drawings in this book and Klotzko's words make the book highly approachable. The public who would like to understand what the debate on human cloning is all about should read this book.
【1】What does Klotzko tell readers in A Clone of Your Own?
A．Aristotle's theory of cloning.
B．Work of cloning the sheep Dolly.
C．Discussion cloning has generated.
D．Spemann's successful attempt in cloning.
【2】What is Klotzko's attitude towards cloning?
A．Positive.
B．Negative.
C．Uninterested.
D．Doubfu1.
【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A．Klotzko is the first to write on the ethics of cloning.
B．There is no reference to previous literature on cloning.
C．Klotzko gives a long list of ethics literature in the book.
D．The short list of further reading gives readers wrong ideas.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain a problem.
B．To recommend a book.
C．To remember a writer.
D．To introduce a discussion.
24、Called the “Iron Hammer” in her playing days, Lang Ping is considered as one of the biggest heroes of Chinese sports.
At the 1981 World Cup in Japan, the Chinese women’s team showed the world their speed and power for the first time. Playing outside hitter, Lang helped the team take home its first major title. Thanks to teamwork and their strong spirit, they achieved a record of five world titles in a row, which include two World Cups, two World Championships and a gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Despite a lot of victories, after eight years of hard training and fighting, Lang retired as a player in 1986. But she never said goodbye to her favorite sport. In 1995, Lang became the head coach of the Chinese national team and led China to silver medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic and the 1998 World Championships in Japan.
Though she left the job in 1999 to coach an Italian club, in 2013 she returned to coach the young national team. In 2016, her team took home the gold medal at the Rio Olympics, making her the first person to win an Olympic gold for volleyball both as a player and a coach. The team was listed fourth after the preliminary competition. But Lang said in a public interview, “Sometimes you know you may not win, but you still have to pull out all the stops.”
Lang plays an important role in the creation and passing on of an honorable tradition of fighting and teamwork. “The spirit of Chinese women’s volleyball team is never to give up. My duty as the coach is to guide this young team to carry on this spirit,” said Lang. The spirit is about more than sport; it is an important source of spiritual strength for the country to draw on in its effort to press ahead.
