21、根据短文内容判断下列句子的正(A) 误(B)。

In China, everyone seems to know about antibiotics(抗生素). When you have a cold, you go to see a doctor. The doctor may give you some antibiotics. It’s true that antibiotics can cure your disease, but too many antibiotics are not good for your body.

Antibiotics were first used in the 1940s. They worked well and were called “the wonder drugs”. “But now, antibiotics have become a threat to human lives,” said a report by the UK government. “Our bodies are developing a resistance(抵抗) to antibiotics, and 10 million people across the world will die of this by 2025.”

How come the wonder drugs are now killers? In our bodies, there are two types of bacteria(细菌). Some are good for our health and others cause diseases. Antibiotics are used to destroy the bad ones. But it’s usually a long battle. Antibiotics may win this time, but bacteria don’t give up. They soon learn new skills to fight back. Then our body needs more antibiotics to win. And the battle goes on. As a result, we’re seeing more “superbugs”, or bacteria that can’t be killed by antibiotics.

In China, patients use too many antibiotics. Antibiotics make up 70 percent of the country’s Drug production. Sometimes patients don’t need to use antibiotics. If patients take too many antibiotics, there will be more “superbugs”. So, don’t take antibiotics for some common diseases, for example, colds and flu.

【1】Antibiotics aren’t good for our body at all.

【2】Ten million people across the world will die of antibiotics by 2025.

【3】In our bodies, there are some good and bad bacteria.

【4】If a patient uses too many antibiotics, his or her body will need fewer antibiotics to fight against bacteria in the future.

【5】The writer advises us not to use too many antibiotics.

22、This February, the freestyle skier Gu Ailing has been the most-talked-about athlete at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games because of her wonderful performances.

Gu was born in 2003 in the US. Her father is American and her mother is Chinese. Gu started skiing when she was three years old. At the age of nine, she took part in competitions and won her first championship. At the age of 16, she got her second and third gold medals of the World Cup. In 2021, as a Chinese freestyle skier, Gu made history by winning three medals at the X Games in the US. In February 2022, she won two gold medals and one silver at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

However, the 18-year-old girl has been outstanding in not only sports but also academics. Gu graduated from the famous San Francisco University High School in just three years so she could focus on skiing. She is a grade-A student and good at her schoolwork. In December 2020, she became a student at Stanford University. In her free time, Gu Ailing has many hobbies, such as running, riding horses and playing football. She is also interested in art.

What makes a professional athlete also a top student in the classroom? Gu said that her secrets are “passion, focus and balance”. “I’m not skiing just for the Olympic Games. I’m skiing for my passion for the sport. I started skiing at a young age because I love the feeling of snow. Only when you do the things you have passion for can you put all your heart into that,” said Gu.

Gu has achieved much more than most people of her age. People say Gu is talented. But Gu says that talent is only one percent of her winning, what’s more important is her hard work.

23、

When you are busy with your schoolwork, you might find it hard to get enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is bad for our health. But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends, the Guardian reported.

According to researchers from the University of California, people who don’t get enough sleep show no social interest in others. They are simply too tired to talk with others.

The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night’s sleep—as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. Then the 18 young people watched videos of people walking toward them. When the person on the video got too “close” to them, they pushed a button (按钮) to stop the video, which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.

The results showed that people kept the person at 60 percent further back if they hadn’t got enough sleep. They felt that their personal space was being invaded (入侵). But when they got a good night’s sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.

According to lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize(交际) with others. In turn, other people may think you are weird and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环).

So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, sleeping well might help. “One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident.” Walker told the Daily Mail.

【1】Researchers from the university of California believe that less sleep ________.

A．makes school life harder

B．is good for one’s health

C．makes people have fewer friends

D．causes people to become angry

【2】How did the researchers draw the conclusion (得出结论）?

A．They did a study of 18 young people.

B．They invited people to play a game.

C．They watched videos of sleepy people.

D．They interviewed people on the street.

【3】What does the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

A．Bored.

B．Lazy.

C．Nervous.

D．Strange.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Popular people always sleep well.

B．Loneliness makes people sleep more.

C．People who sleep well hardly go out .

D．Getting enough sleep makes people active.
