21、A  I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday．The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00．Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break．

Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good．But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes．Last Monday．I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus, By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip．

So I gave up and went back to the office．The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day．On Thursday, my luck changed．I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes．When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour．Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line．I caught the next bus and headed back across the town．

By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert．The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me．When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line．The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets．

22、When Carson Palmer, a professional American football player, hurt his arm a few years ago, he took a week off from throwing the football. But in his head, Palmer practiced every day. The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life.

For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you're imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles(肌肉) which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform. In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner how-to guide for a particular skill.

Sports psychologists have conducted hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions. On the whole, the research shows that mental training works. A 2012 study, for example, compared 32 amateur golfers who practiced hitting the balls to another 32 who merely held a golf club in their hands and visualized（想象）their swings. Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.

Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured. It is safe-a major plus for high-risk performers such as gymnasts and surgeons. And you can practice for longer periods of time because you're not restricted by physical tiredness, That’s not to say it's easy, we've had Olympic-level athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours," says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland. “When we're done, they’re absolutely tired.”

It doesn’t work for everyone, though. "If you're a novice, the effect can be harmful,” warns Macintyre. If you're trying to visualize a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.”

【1】The author introduces the topic of the text by______.

A. giving an example   B. presenting an argument

C. explaining a phenomenon   D. making an assumption

【2】What happens when one is visualizing an action?

A. A special skill is quickly acquired.

B. A certain model is formed in the head

C. The muscles grow increasingly tense.

D. The brain sends strong messages to the body.

【3】What does the underlined word "novice " in the last paragraph mean?

A. Coach   B. Specialist

C. Beginner   D. Judge

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice.

B. Practicing a shill properly in mind can produce intended effect.

C. Practice whether mental or physical ha its own characteristics.

D. Scientists have found a sale way for athletes to practice their skills.

23、Picture a pigeon(鸽子)resting on a telephone wire.Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into the air and flies away.This series of actions are so common that you prob-ably do not pay much attention to it.But University of Manchester biomechanical(生物力学)engineer Ben Parslew does.He Is trying to design robots that can jump and take off like birds.

Most traditional robots roll around on wheels,constrainingmobility ((灵活性).There is a need for more intelligent robots that"can jump over the thing that is in their way, Parslew says.To design such a machine, he turned to nature.""Birds are really good jumpers,”he notes.

The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they'll bend so far forward that, according to the rules of physics, they shoul d tip over and fall onto their beaks (鸟喙).Yet that does not happen.Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this ,They discovered that birds turned their bodies slightly backward while ready to jump.

Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well but also send themselves into the air more efficiently.Most human-engineered flying ma-chines require either long runways or flat surfaces for takeoff.Either way, they take a while to overcome gravity and gain altitude.

University of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs enable more rapid speed than wheels do.And many animals are masters of springs."A.house cat will beat a Lamborghini off the line for the first 100 feet, "he says.While the car has to speed up, the cat jumps itself into a run.The same movement explains how birds start flight.

“If you can understand how that works, " Habib adds,"you can build a robot that's good at running around and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking off suddenly in all kinds of conditions and landing quickly, m Parslew is now designing such a robot, as an alter-native to wheeled plane for exploring other planets.

【1】Why do birds' takeoff actions catch Ben Parslew's attention?

A．Because he is fond of wild animals.

B．Because he wants to design robots that can jump and take off like birds.

C．Because he is a biomechanical engineer.

D．Because he is curious about nature.

【2】The underlined word"constraining in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “”.

A．improving.

B．robbing.

C．continuing.

D．limiting.

【3】What will happen when birds start to take off?

A．They will jump first before taking off.

B．They will tip over and fall onto their beaks.

C．They will make their bodies slightly backward.

D．It will take birds a while to overcome gravity and fly to the sky.

【4】What is the meaning of researching birds' takeoff?

A．Making robots jump and take off like birds.

B．Improving the ability of a plane.

C．Inventing a robot which can speed up quickly.

D．Making robots fly more efficiently.

24、Take a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.

The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.

Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.

Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.

The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments，a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.

That’s good news, especially given that D.C.’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—no marble needed.

【1】What is the purpose of the design competition?

A．To select the best design team.

B．To find new uses for old memorials.

C．To design new memorials for Washington.

D．To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.

【2】What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?

A．Differs

B．Benefits

C．Suffers

D．Learns

【3】What do we know about Climate Chronograph?

A．It will be located in a park.

B．It will be built after the competition.

C．It clearly shows the effects of climate change.

D．It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．A memorial to a sad future.

B．Marble memorials are out of date.

C．Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future.

D．What will the memorials of the future look like?

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。

The Science of Happiness

Kate is a bright young woman with an intense focus on academics and a long-term goal of becoming a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家). Her path is charted very carefully each day according to schedule. She meets after school with the Brain Club, a group she started that discusses neuroscience and trades academic papers like baseball cards. It’s the kind of group you would never imagine in high school, which is mature beyond their years and led by their own initiative.

It would seem there was no room in Kate’s schedule for fun, let alone helping others. But then she found out about an elementary school hit hard by the pandemic, then inflation, and now a recession (衰退). It sits in the middle of a working-class neighborhood and most of parents were tired out by working physically demanding jobs from dawn to dark. Most families were doing the best but they could just put a few groceries on the table.

Halloween was approaching, and many of the families didn’t participate because they lacked costumes and couldn’t afford to give out candy themselves. So Kate called the headmaster of the elementary school. She was told the families wanted their kids to have fun on Halloween, but they also needed more books in the home.

So Kate went to work. She began with the Brain Club and then branched out to other clubs. They would sponsor a trick-or-treat event featuring games, candy and book giveaways. It was a huge organizational challenge—one that only a very organized person could handle.So Kate put her smarts to use. She arranged for groups of her fellows to decorate their cars and create games. She found a DJ and rounded up boxes of costumes for the kids. She even got the local police to decorate their cruiser (巡逻车). And she went to work getting kids books donated.
