21、FIFA World Cup 2022 is under way in Qatar and it again sets off a football wave in the whole world. Recently, CNN has released a new documentary, Super Eagles 96 to help us recall a glorious football team story. When Nigeria’s national football team competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, few thought it could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with countries like Argentina and Brazil. But the team, lovingly nicknamed the Super Eagles, stunned the footballing world by winning the gold medal.

The documentary by filmmaker Yemi Bamiro, shows a brief but important moment in Nigerian history. The Super Eagles team was coached by Dutchman Jo Bonfrere, but it’s another Dutch coach Clemens Westerhof who is widely credited for much of the team’s success. Before Westherhof, Nigeria had never qualified for a World Cup before. Under Westerhof, the team worked hard to overcome its mixed fortunes and finally won the World Cup. “The Super Eagles are superheroes, ”Bamiro told CNN. “Their winning makes the whole country proud especially in those hard times. ”

Though their training and living conditions were terrible, their Olympic journey fancinated audiences. Nigeria first made it to the quarterfinals, beating Mexico 2-0. Though losing to Brazil earlier in the tournament, Nigeria beat the four-time World Cup-winning nation 4-3 in the semi-final, before pulling off a historic 3-2 win in the final over an Argentina team that featured international stars including Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez.

For Bamiro, the story of the team was impossible to tell without explaining the country’s turbulent politics at that time, leaving the whole nation at a mess. “It’s a big country but only football unites Nigerians together, “recalled Bamiro. He believed the victory was not just a win for the team, but a win for the country. For a brief moment, Nigerians were able to forget their troubles and celebrate in unity. “It’s a story about overcoming challenges, achieving something that no one expected them to achieve, ”he said.

【1】Which word can replace the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 1?

A．Puzzled.

B．Shocked.

C．Amused.

D．Moved.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The country Nigeria features many international football stars.

B．The country Argentina has never qualified for a World Cup before.

C．The coach Bonfrere was credited for the team to win the World Cup.

D．The filmmaker Bamiro shows great respect to the Super Eagles team.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Nigeria team’s journey of winning the gold medal.

B．Nigeria’s terrible political situation at Olympics.

C．Nigeria team’s poor living conditions while training.

D．Nigeria’s crazy football fans for great achievements.

【4】What can we infer from Bamiro’s words in the last paragraph?

A．The victory wins a good chance to develop only for the team.

B．The documentary leaves Nigeria at a mess with mixed politics.

C．The victory gives Nigerians an inspiration to unite against challenges.

D．The documentary shows no one expected the team to win the champion.

22、In the days before the Internet, critical thinking is the most important skill that we could have. To think critically, we need to read carefully, consider the credibility (可信度) of sources, and reason out conclusions on our own. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, a more important skill is “critical ignoring”.

“With so much information, we need to first sort the wheat from the chaff, deciding what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not. Now, we live in an ‘attention economy’ in which we are no longer consumers. Rather, we’re the products whose attention is being sold on the advertising marketplace. That means each link we click on is a sale of our time and attention, often with little or no benefit to ourselves. To protect ourselves, we need to develop new ways of interacting with information,” she said.

Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce their exposure to false and trash information.

By developing our critical ignoring skills, she thinks we can enjoy the benefits of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, our time, and our minds. Here are three of the strategies recommended by her to avoid the traps of attention economy.

The first strategy is self-control. Of course, we need to stay informed of world events and be in touch with others, so we can’t just ignore the Internet altogether. When we do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits. Limiting ourselves in this way prevents us from losing track of time as we click on one attractive link after another.

The next strategy is in-depth reading. For example, headlines are often designed to attract attention, not provide information. The contents of the articles may be completely contrary to what the headlines show.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “sort the wheat from the chaff” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Decide which produce is more useful.

B．Balance potential harms with benefits.

C．Select the valuable from the valueless.

D．Think about how to divide the profits.

【2】What does critical ignoring help us do?

A．Read every attractive link carefully.

B．Reason out conclusions on our own.

C．Avoid using the Internet altogether.

D．Stay away from low-quality information.

【3】What might the author continue talking about?

A．Another recommended strategy.

B．The importance of self-control.

C．The traps of attention economy.

D．The value of our time and attention.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To compare two important concepts.

B．To introduce a useful idea to readers.

C．To show the limits of critical thinking.

D．To prove critical ignoring is less important.

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。

High school graduation marks a huge turning point in a young person’s life. It’s a transition from childhood to adulthood, and you’ll remember that moment forever.

Daverius Peters, a senior at Hahnville High School in Boutte, Louisiana, had been looking forward to this special day for a while. However, when he arrived at the graduation ceremony, a school representative blocked him from entering the ceremony’s venue because his black sneakers violated the dress code.

The school’s graduation dress code states that male students must wear dark dress shoes to the ceremony and no athletic shoes were allowed.

When the school representative denied him entry, Peters went into shock. He also felt sad, imagining what his parents would think if he couldn’t attend his own graduation. He just wanted to walk across the stage and get the diploma he’d worked so hard for.

With only minutes until the ceremony was set to begin, he felt hopeless. He neither took the phone with him nor had enough time to stop at a store to buy new shoes. As he paced anxiously outside the convention center, he spotted a glimmer of hope. He’d noticed a familiar face, John Butler.

Butler helps mentor (指导) students at the high school, and many students look up to him. Butler always did what he could to help the students. He’s just “that type of person.” When a student’s having a bad day, Butler calls them out of class to personally talk with them. He had a daughter graduating with Peters, so he was attending the graduation ceremony as a parent that day. Peters ran over to Butler and explained his shoe problem.

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。

Without a second thought, Butler took off his own shoes.
