22、 With heavy rain and strong winds, Cyclone (飓风) Amphan hit the coast of India and Bangladesh on a Wednesday afternoon, destroying homes and other buildings, after forcing millions to leave home.
The storm broke out earlier in the week in the Bay of Bengal, the first “super cyclone” to break there since 1999. Though the storm wasn't as strong as it had been when it landed, Cyclone Amphan still arrived with a force the same as a Category 3 storm (3级风暴).
With wind speed of 105 miles an hour, Amphan went through villages along the coast. Most people on the coast live in very simple houses. The cyclone destroyed many of these houses, blowing the roofs (屋顶) off and washing the walls away. Amphan also blew down trees and damaged electricity, telephone and Internet lines in many places along its path. The cyclone also caused huge and sudden rises in the sea level, known as “storm surges”. These surges were as high as 16 feet and pushed seawater in, ruining houses and farms along the way.
Although the cyclone had terrible power, it might not have been as deadly as people first feared. That's mainly because governments took action before the cyclone hit.
The governments in both India and Bangladesh were using schools as shelters. Several of the shelters were used before for patients with COVID-19. More shelters were needed than usual, because the governments were trying to fill the shelters only half full to allow enough space between people.
Because of the disease, many people didn't want to depart from their homes. This was especially true in India. Part of the reason was fear of catching the disease, but it was also because many people had lost so much during the country's lockdown (封锁).
【1】What do we know about Cyclone Amphan?
A．It followed a Category 3 storm.
B．It slowed down when it landed.
C．It wasn't as strong as a Category 3 storm.
D．It was the strongest ever in the Bay of Bengal.
【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The causes of Cyclone Amphan.
B．The places Cyclone Amphan hit.
C．The damage caused by Cyclone Amphan.
D．The influence of Cyclone Amphan on the sea.
【3】What did the governments do to deal with Cyclone Amphan?
A．They paid special attention to patients.
B．They advised people to keep enough space.
C．They built many new shelters before it hit.
D．They moved many people to safety before it hit.
【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined part “depart from” in the last paragraph?
A．leave
B．share
C．sell
D．build
23、My cellphone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it was my 17-year-old son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. “Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.
Living in New York State, students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who work hard, attend class, and do their homework, it isn’t that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic(朗读困难的), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to even attempt, never mind achieve.
We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint(冲刺). My heart broke each time we would get the failing results.
“Mom, thanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this.”
For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it.
【1】What does the underlined word “pound” in Paragraph l probably mean?
A．Sink suddenly.
B．Beat wildly
C．Ache violently.
D．Break totally
【2】According to the text, Tom was weak in________.
A．English
B．science
C．math
D．history
【3】How did the writer feel when she wrote this text?
A．She felt grateful and relaxed.
B．She felt surprised and bitter.
C．She felt proud and satisfied.
D．She felt worried and anxious.
24、 Citizen science projects make it possible for you to collect real data that scientists can use in their research. Here are four examples of projects that you can take part in.
FrogWatch USA
Frogs play an important role in their ecosystems, being both predator and prey (捕食者和猎物). So, understanding their populations is one way scientists track wetland health. From February to August, citizens like you listen for the calls of specific species and record them in an online database. To make sure volunteers know what they are listening for, FrogWatch has a network of local chapter coordinators (协调者) who lead the training.
Globe at Night
You wouldn't be the only one wondering about the light coming into your sky from nearby lamps and cities. Scientists have big questions about this too. Globe at Night is an international project that has had volunteers take more than 100,000 measurements in 115 countries. In the past they only enlisted (征募) citizen scientists in the winter and spring, but since 2017 they have set observation dates for the whole year. The project welcomes volunteers who want to help observe light pollution that could affect wildlife, health, and energy consumption.
Did You Feel It?
The “Did You Feel It？” program depends on feedback (反馈) from anyone who feels the shaking or sees any damage as the result of an earthquake. This data helps to produce a map that is available within minutes — and updated rapidly — documenting where shaking and damage are the most intense (强烈的)．
GLOBE Observer
If you would rather take your own photos than look through images from a telescope, consider downloading the GLOBE Observer app. This app allows citizen scientists to take photos of clouds for comparison with satellite images. Become an observer and become part of a major source of global human observation of clouds.
【1】Which project trains its volunteers?
A.Globe at Night. B.Did You Feel It?
C.FrogWatch USA. D.GLOBE Observer.
【2】Which of the following describes volunteers' work at Globe at Night?
A.It's done in colder seasons.
B.It's done in wild fields.
C.It's timeconsuming.
D.It's ecofriendly.
【3】What does a GLOBE Observer do?
A.Take pictures of clouds.
B.Improve satellite images.
C.Observe the sky with a telescope.
D.Upload cloud change data onto an app.
25、Tempo (节奏) runs scare me. Those long and hard efforts always look impossible when I see them on paper.

Before I even laced up my shoes, I’d already _______ myself I couldn’t do this. Instead of using the warm-up to find my pace, _________for success, and get excited to make the best of it, I adopted a_________mind set (心态), revisited my list of excuses and_______ further into the bad-attitude trap.

The _______, I realized, was that I treated my entire training plan like a tempo run — hard, fast and________. I felt that if I didn’t hit a workout early, I wouldn’t be able to________.
