21、In the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, educators across Qatar Foundation (QF) have found creative ways to take advantage of the global sporting event in the classroom to teach both physical and social skills, and to bring their lesson plans to life.

“Apart from encouraging them to take part in the physical aspect of the game, it’s a perfect opportunity to teach social skills, such as team spirit, fair play, respect for rules, cooperation, discipline and tolerance, etc. These are all essential skills for future participation in group activities and professional life,” explained Sara Hal Hajri, assistant director of QF.

The topics include learning about the event, the sport of football, stadiums and how they link to Qatari culture and heritage, and the positive impact the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will have on the local community, etc. Classes will also be designing and creating a sustainable football in honor of the landmark year.

At the heart of the activities are friendly football matches organized to simulate the match experience where students will engage as either football players or audience. They will create cheers for their favourite team, use a match ticket, and purchase refreshments to mirror the experience at a match.

Football in Qatar Academy Sidra (QAS), a QF school, has been included in the curriculum across the age groups to teach subjects like geography, art writing,math and others in creative ways. For example, Grade 4 students are using maps to determine the distances between stadiums while Grades 11 and 12 engage in redesigning the FIFA World Cup using recycled materials.

Fatima Saad Mohannadi, a Grade 10 student from QAS said, “Everyone is pumped up about the World Cup-it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there are so many activities being linked to it. And when we also have it included in our day-to-day learning, it just makes school that much more fun and something that, like the World Cup, we all look forward to.”

【1】What does Sara want to stress concerning integrating football into class?

D．Its efficiency.

C．Model.

D．Recall.

【3】What’s Fatima’s attitude to football-related activities?

B．Excited.

C．Doubtful.

D．Tolerant.

D．QF Schools Use Football As a Novel Teaching Tool

22、   If, for some reason, you had 2,010 empty plastic bottles, what would you do? You’d probably sell them cheaply, right? But Xia Yu collected 2,010 bottles and built a boat with them. As you read this, Xia is, in fact, on a river somewhere in Anhui, slowly going towards his destination: the Expo Garden in Shanghai. 2,010 plastic bottles were to celebrate Expo (世博会) 2010 Shanghai. On the opening day of the Expo, Xia, together with five friends, went on a 1, 500km journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden, in spite of the doubt whether they’ll make it. After all, the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat. It cost only 2,000 yuan to build in a month.

What’s keeping Xia going is a major cause behind the trip. “We are examining water pollution through our journey and trying to promote a low-carbon (低碳) lifestyle. Before we started, no one believed we could sail the boat to the Dongting Lake. But we made it.” But as they expected, the journey has not always been smooth. Of the six from Xiangtan, four gave up. As of the press time (到发稿时), only Xia and his friend Huang Ying were on the boat. Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang, Jiangxi province, Xia said, “There are so many things that can stop us from making it to Shanghai, like the weather, health, and sometimes swift river water”.

The boat was produced in a factory according to our design, and perhaps it’s not in a very good condition. But, Xia said, “we are wearing life jackets. Some boats passing by offered help”. What is more of a reward for Xia and Huang is that the Yangtze River turned out much cleaner than they had expected. Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journey ahead, they are quite happy with what they have already achieved. After all, it’s not the destination that counts. It’s always the course that matters the most.

【1】Xia Yu doubts the success of the journey because of 　　　.

A.such a long journey on the river

B.the poor boat and the bad weather

C.few people taking part in the journey

D.the seriously polluted river in some parts

【2】Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the journey?

A.To examine water pollution.

B.To celebrate Expo 2010 Shanghai.

C.To win a race on the water.

D.To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

【3】From the text we know that　　　.

A.they stay on the boat at night

B.three people gave up due to their bad health

C.Xia Yu and his mate have arrived in Shanghai

D.Huang suffered from a disease on the journey

23、The arrival of autumn has left me charmed once again by its generous harvest of pomegranates. While pomegranate juice had always been a favorite of mine, for a long time, I couldn’t say the same for the actual fruit. 【1】 How could anyone possibly take pleasure in eating that? But by chance, I changed my mind.

A handful of small pomegranate trees grow just outside the gate of my husband’s family home in rural Zhejiang. 【2】 So one autumn, my mother-in-law gave me and my husband a bag filled with pomegranates she had picked herself.

At first, I rejected the seemingly burdensome pile of fruit on our dinner table. 【3】 He continued to bite on pomegranate and offer me a taste of the seeds, and eventually curiosity won. I popped a handful in my mouth, and found myself knocked in the best possible way.

The seeds were filled with that familiar rich and sweet flavor. 【4】 Moreover, it was superior to anything I had encountered in liquid form. Later, I’m always fascinated to discover the many locales in China also touched by the sweet pleasures of the pomegranate.

【5】 At that time in my life, moving around left me too much stress, which usually left me with the discomfort of a nervous stomach. But among the many health benefits of pomegranate is that it can naturally improve digestion. Regular consumption of the fruit had comforted my gut (肠道) so much. If you've yet to be addicted to the delights of the pomegranate, it’s not too late to try.

A．One taste turned me into a lifelong fan just like that.

B．I had thought it’s a bunch of soft and juicy little seeds.

C．The branches were overhanging with the fruit every fall.

D．My husband still attempted to persuade me to take a bite.

E．It’s the season’s finest freshly squeezed juice from the fruit.

F．The healing properties of the fruit I experienced added to its charm.

G．That was the same taste I had come to treasure about pomegranate juice.
