21、For most of human history, people thought the world was flat (平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction, you would come to the edge of the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.

It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.

In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.

In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters in Verne’s book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.

Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records. From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight round the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter (直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-1983.

As for a nonstop balloon flight all the way around the world, this wasn’t done until 2002, when Steve Fossett from the US finally succeeded after many tries.

【1】Who first said that the world was NOT flat?

A．Ferdinand Magellan.

B．Nellie Bly.

C．Jules Verne.

D．The passage doesn’t say.

【2】In the sixteenth century ______.

A．Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge

B．it took the first exploring team 80 days to come back to Portugal

C．a captain named Sebastian del Cano traveled around the world

D．the first exploring team had to pass through five countries during the journey

【3】Which of these people did NOT go on a round-the-world journey?

A．Lowell H. Smith.

B．Jules Verne.

C．Dick Smith.

D．Steve Fossett.

【4】From the passage we know that ______.

A．an exploring team had been to the edge of the world about 2,000 years ago

B．today people can travel around the world in two days by plane if they want to

C．during the first airplane flight around the world only one American succeeded

D．since 1872 ten Americans have traveled around the world according to the passage

A．Both Jules Verne and Nellie Bly wrote about traveling around the world.

B．About one hundred years ago, a Frenchman traveled around the world in 80 days.

C．It took Dave Kunst more than 6 years to travel around the world on foot.

D．In 2002 an Australian flew all the way around the world by ballooning.

22、   One of the famous scientists,Stephen Hawking,died last year,which made people around the world shocked. They respect（尊敬）the British scientist not only because of his achievements in physics but also great spirit.

However,he got a very serious illness in 1963. After that,he couldn't move or speak. He had to sit in a wheelchair and he could only communicate with others by using a computer.

In the face of these difficulties,Hawking didn't give up. He went on to study at Cambridge University and did research（研究）on space and time. He wrote many great books. The most famous one is A Brief History of Time.

Hawking was invited to China to give speeches several times. His self-confidence and humorous words impressed（留下印象）us deeply.

Hawking's unusual life encourages many people. Let's not worry about our problems but face the challenges. As he once said,“Life is not fair,you just have to do the best you can in your situation.

23、   “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practising animals' movements,” the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past—and still do today.

Chinese Five­Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer(鹿), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.

The Five­Animal Exercises are well­designed to help blood circulation(循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.

“The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist(腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart.” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor(继承人) of Wuqinxi.

For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus(集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly... Little by little, you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.

These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practise them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it's fun to practise and good for health, Five­Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

【1】Why do people practise Five­Animal Exercises?

A.To fight against enemies. B.To protect wild animals.

C.To improve the health. D.To play as a group game.

【2】If your grandfather has a pain in the back, what may help him a lot?

A.The bear movements. B.The monkey movements.

C.The bird movements. D.The tiger movements.

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

A.兴奋的 B.和谐的 C.敬畏的 D.肤浅的

24、“Please don’t go to Wuhan if it’s not really necessary.” Zhong Nanshan, a famous expert, said when the COVID-19 (新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wuhan. At the same time, Zhong, 84, went on a trip to Wuhan to fight the disease.

Chinese people shared his pictures and words online, saying “they believe every word Zhong says”. He gave Chinese people confidence and hope in winning this fight.

As a doctor, Zhong said his goal was always to save as many lives as possible. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he asked other doctors to send their most serious patients to him. After months of hard work, he saved thousands of lives.

Now, Zhong was once again leading an expert team to deal with the COVID-19. This new virus was more dangerous to old people, but Zhong worried little about his own safety. On Jan. 18, 2020, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to tell the public that the virus could go from person to person. On Jan. 29, he and his team spent over four hours online checking five patients.

In difficult times, many people always bring others s and confidence. 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan is one of them.

25、(1) Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only see it once or twice a year. Nowadays, millions【1】 Chinese leave the countryside 【2】(search) for work in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year- old husband and father. He 【3】(live) in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a crayon factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I used【4】(return) home at least once a year, but I haven't been back for almost three years now. Its a shame, but I just don’t have the time,” he says.

(2) Many people like Zhong Wei regard with great interest how their hometowns 【5】(change).

Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help. “I noticed that’s true of my hometown,” adds Zhong Wei. “Children have learned 【6】(read)  and count at my old primary school since the mid-20th century. But now the buildings are really old. I hear they re going to build a new school there.” Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also knows that his hometown cannot always stay the same. According 【7】 Zhong Wei, however, some things will never change. “In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school. It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place. Most of the children in my time liked 【8】(play) together under that big tree, 【9】(especial) during the summer holidays. It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet【10】 (memory) in our hearts.”
