21、Mama Cax, a model and motivational speaker, died in 2019 at the age of 30.

The Haitian-born model’s family took to her Instagram account on Friday to announce the tragic news, revealing that she passed away on Monday, Dec. 16th. The news also reads, “To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life’s challenges directly and successfully. It is with that same grit that she fought her last days on Earth.”

When she was 14, Cax was found to have bone and lung cancers and later had to have her right leg cut off. From then on, she wore an artificial leg for the last 16 years of her life. Mama Cax never lost heart. “I recognize how lucky I am and that many can’t afford medical treatments,” said Cax. “I feel like I’m in a position to make a difference and one day I will be an advocate(提倡者，拥护者) for people with disabilities.”

In addition to walking the runway in New York’s Fashion Week, Cax was a strong advocate for disabled models. She broke down barriers in the fashion world as a disabled model with a history of fighting difficult health battles.

And she was also a successful blogger with a huge following. She wrote blogs about travel, food and fashion and was an inspiration to many people. “Scars, we can hate them but they remain part of us. They tell the stories of our struggle and survival. They represent the battles we’ve won” said Cax. “As women we were used to letting others judge our worth. My advice to any young woman out there is, to know your worth, figure out what you want, set up a plan and go for it.“

Cax loved sports, especially rock climbing. “I like to challenge myself physically. It is difficult but certainly not impossible,” said Cax. In November, 2019, Cax reached another life goal of hers — to finish the New York City Marathon. She appreciated every moment of life, and lived it with delight.

【1】Which best supports the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

A．Cax challenged the fashion world.

B．Cax made a difference in various fields.

C．Cax advocated free treatment for the disabled.

D．Cax was devoted to the equal rights for the disabled.

【2】As a blogger, what suggestion did Cax give women?

A．Know your own value and pursue your dreams.

B．Regard scars as victories over challenges in life.

C．Inspire your life by traveling and enjoying food.

D．Promote your self-improvement from others’ judgment.

【3】Which statement might Cax agree with?

A．Failure is the mother of success.

B．I have no secret of success but hard work.

C．Misfortunes cannot stop one’s excellence.

D．The starting point of achievement is desire.

22、The history of the flying car is almost as old as that of powered flight itself. It started with the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, awkward-looking equipment with separable wings. It never left the ground. Later machines made it into the skies but failed to take off commercially. Money is now pouring into flying taxis. On March 30th Lilium, a German company that develops them, announced cooperation with a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that values it at $3.3 billion — a sign that investors think the business will fly.

Thanks to better batteries and lightweight materials the vehicles, some of them ten years in the making, are ready to carry passengers. Up to 300 firms are working on short-range battery-powered craft that take off and land vertically, estimates Natasha Santha of LEK, a consultancy.

Midway between a cab and a helicopter, flying taxis have obvious advantages over both. Quiet electric motors allow them to operate frequent services. They require only a small area to land, unlike noisy helicopters, which face severe operating restrictions in most cities. They can fly four or five times faster than a cab can drive and do not get stuck in traffic. Prices can be kept low by ride-sharing. Joby, based in California, says its five-seater machine will enter commercial service in 2024. The firm calculates the initial cost of around $4 per person per mile may soon fall by 25%. It plans to start service soon afterwards.

The real change will come when full autonomy (自动驾驶) takes out the cost of a pilot. Archer hopes to run such aircraft by 2028. They face fewer obstacles in the air than earth-bound cars do on the road; airliners mostly fly on autopilot as it is. Still, as one industry insider puts it, it is probably best to adapt passengers and regulators to airborne taxis before laying off the driver.

【1】What do investors think of the business of flying cars?

A．Unpredictable.

B．Challenging.

C．Promising.

D．Rough.

【2】What is the advantage of flying taxis over cabs?

A．Fewer noises.

B．Faster rides.

C．Lower prices.

D．Smaller parking spaces.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．There will be many traffic jams in the air.

B．Flying taxis will soon take the place of cars.

C．Flying taxis without drivers are not widely accepted.

D．The current planes are equipped with no human pilots.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Flying Taxis Take Off at Last

B．Long History of Flying Taxis

C．Life in the Future with Flying Taxis

D．High-tech Brings Flying Taxis into Reality

24、Sometime in 1885 or 1886, Arthur Conan Doyle was doodling (信手乱涂) on a sheet of paper. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s Auguste Dupin, he had the idea for a “consulting detective”, who would also use “the Rules of Evidence” to catch his man. But what would he be called? “Ormond Sacker”? “Sherrinford Holmes”?

Had he settled on either of these alternatives, the modern-day fan clubs would be able to look closely through their magnifying glasses (放大镜) at that historic piece of paper at an exhibition opening at the Museum of London on Friday.

Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die is the first major show for the great detective since a Holmes display graced the Festival of Britain in 1951. It’s a winningly silly title: there are an unlimited number of men who never lived and wil never die, and a very large number of fictional creations of whom the same could also be said. But you can see what they are getting at.

It is likely that the show should take place at the Museum of London. Holmes occupied perhaps London’s most famous imaginary address — 221B Baker Street — and Dr. Watson wrote that his “knowledge of the byways of London was extraordinary”. In the form of his “Baker Street Irregulars”, he even employed a street-level spy-network o the homeless. London is often described as another character in the stories.

But, as historian David Cannadine points out in a fine, questioning essay in a new book accompanying the exhibition, Holmes’s London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories. Conan Doyle grew up in Edinburgh, was educated in Lancashire and Austria, and lived in central London for less than a year before moving first to South Norwood, then in short order to Hindhead in Surrey and later to Sussex. To move Holmes around the capital, Conan Doyle used contemporary books of street maps and the London Post Office Directory. And he made all sorts of mistakes.

Also, before fan-fiction as we think of it now got under way, the Holmes stories led to a strange academic version of fan-fiction: Holmesians, taking a scholarly interest in the texts almost on the assumption that Holmes and Watson were real historical characters.

It should be noted that Conan Doyle himself didn’t sweat the details. Everything from the location of Watson’s old war wound to his marital situation and the address of his consulting room was distinctly patchy (东拼西凑的).

Holmes is, or might as well be, a magician. In this respect, the modern BBC TV adaptations — whose leaps of tricks I’ve seen complained about — are in keeping with Conan Doyle’s originals.

He’s not the product, not any more, of a single author. And he’s never going to be on the reader’s level — nor that of his friend Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle’s consulting detective is, made by the imaginations of others, a sort of god. And like all the best gods, he is — as the new exhibition’s title indicates — both imaginary and everlasting.

【1】What do Auguste Dupin and Sherlock Holmes share in common according to the author?

A．They are both fictional detectives that lived in London.

B．They are both characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

C．They both use “the Rules of Evidence” to solve cases.

D．They both use magnifying glasses.

【2】According to the passage, the sentence “Holmes’s London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories” in paragraph 5 means that ______.

A．London is an important setting in the Sherlock Holmes stories

B．the city of London in the novel is different from how it really is

C．London is home to the two main characters, Sherlock and Watson

D．the author Conan Doyle made a lot of mistakes when in London

【3】The word “Holmesians” in paragraph 6 probably refers to______.

A．super fans of Holmes

B．scholars interested in Holmes

C．studies about Holmes

D．mysteries concerning Holmes

【4】What is the author’s opinion of Sherlock Holmes?

A．He is the most successful imaginary detective in history.

B．He is a god who will be loved by readers of all the time.

C．He is an imaginary character created both by Doyle and readers

D．He has an extraordinary talent as a detective who gains great popularity.
