21、   For nearly three months we’ve been following Lia Ditton, who attempted to row solo (独自的) across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii. During that time, she has weathered heavy storms and massive waves. Her boat has been rolled over on more than one occasion and has drawn the attention of hungry sharks. Lia herself has experienced a shortage of food. But now, at long last, we can report that she has arrived at the finish line, completing the journey in record time.

Lia arrived in Hawaii over the weekend, although, much like the rest of the journey, her final hours were not easy ones. With 37 miles to go to her destination, Lia reached the Molokai Channel, just as the wind and waves were starting to pick up. She knew that this would be a difficult and vitally important part of the journey, so in order to complete the final run into Maui, she rowed for 18 hours straight. In the end, that hard work and determination kept her from drifting off course and away from the islands to the south, allowing her to reach dry land after nearly three months out on the open ocean.

When she originally set out on this journey back in June, Lia’s intention was to set a new speed record for rowing from California to Hawaii. The record she had in mind was set by rower Rob Eustace, who made the same crossing in 52 days. The ocean currents, winds and waves weren’t very cooperative, however, quickly putting that record out of reach. In the end, she did manage to set a new record, however, recording the fastest female row between the two American states. When she reached shore on Saturday, she recorded a final time of 86 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes and 54 seconds.

At a time when big outdoor adventures are few and far between, Lia’s ocean row has been a good source of inspiration. Congratulations to her for completing this very difficult challenge and setting a new record, too. It may not be the easiest way to get to Hawaii, but it was probably extremely rewarding.

【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A．Where she began her Pacific crossing.

B．How she survived without any support.

C．How she broke the trans-Pacific rowing record.

D．What challenges she had at the end of her journey.

【2】What made Lia Ditton fail to break Rob Eustace’s record?

A．Her lack of food.

B．Problems with sharks.

C．Bad weather conditions.

D．The overturning of her boat.

【3】Which of the following can be used to describe Lia Ditton’s adventure?

A．Rewarding but meaningless.

B．Inspiring but challenging.

C．Dangerous but comfortable.

D．Impressive but tiresome.

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

A．Lia Ditton Completes Trans-Pacific Row

B．Lia Ditton Breaks the Men’s Record

C．Lia’s Pacific Row: Slow and Dangerous

D．Lia Ditton Makes Progress on the Pacific

22、   We live in a sweet world. The average American kids consume more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. 【1】 We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for us. But do we know it can be poisonous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to conduct a study on the negative effects of sugar. 【2】.

During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed the diet containing 25% more sugar. 【3】 The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as the mice fed the similar diet without sugar.

Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, they gave birth to 25% fewer offspring（后代）than the other mice. Scientists often use mice for research because they have something similar to humans. Findings from this study show negative effects that are not as obvious as weight gains or heart problems. 【4】

Different types of sugar have different effects on the human body. Some of the sugar we consume comes from foods we might expect — candy, soda f and cookies. 【5】 To help cut down on extra sugar consumption, nutrition experts suggest looking at the ingredients on food packages. Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our sugar desires will provide for a truly sweeter future.

A.But much of the sugar that we eat is hidden.

B.They found it could have serious side effects on people’s health.

C.A big bowl of milk and cereal turn he a great way to start the day.

D.And adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s.

E.Some kids’ foods are high in sugar hut low in vitamins and minerals.

F.This percentage is equal to a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily.

G.But large amounts of sugar can cause long-term health problems and even shorten lives.

23、   Sleeping is important, but we all know that, right? Many people have experienced strange sleeping patterns, unusual dreams and a feeling of restlessness and sleepiness during the coronavirus lockdown, despite a good night's sleep. So what sort of things can help you to improve your sleep?

Wrong Habits

Many myths related to sleep can be quite damaging for our health. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously claimed that she only hit the sack for five hours a night. But according to experts this is harmful to health.

Likewise, falling asleep in front of the TV is another thing to avoid. The bright lights can prevent you from entering deep sleep.

Wrong Ways to Help Go to Sleep

From a young age we're told to count sheep to help us to nod off, with some choosing to stay in bed to battle with insomnia（失眠）.However, some experts advise getting up and doing something mindless, like folding socks, to help us get in the mood to catch forty winks.

Psychologist Seth J. Gillihan PhD recommends walking to help in the battle against insomnia. He talks about a sleep study published in the journal Sleep Health which suggests that those who walk slightly more will experience better quality and duration of sleep. Watching what you eat or drink can also improve the amount of REM, or rapid eye movement you experience.

Snoring Can be dangerous

If you're a snorer, you might also want to take note. While most breathing noisily is harmless, it could be a sign of sleep apnoea,（睡眠呼吸暂停）with people suffering from the condition more likely to have strokes or heart attacks, irregular heartbeats or high blood pressure.

A Short Sleep during the Day May Refresh You

Finally, a decent nap, or even a power nap, can help you to be more alert, calm and focused. So while there are some good tips like exercising or folding socks to help us get a good night's sleep, sometimes a good afternoon's sleep can help us deal with the day ahead.

【1】Why do some people still feel tired and sleepy in spite of having a good night sleep according to the passage?

A．They have slept for too long.

B．Five hours is not enough for people to keep fit.

C．The bright lights of TV will stop people sleep soundly.

D．Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher didn't have a healthy sleeping habit

【3】Which is the mindless thing that can help go to sleep according to the passage?

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Once there was a little girl Lily who was very friendly and popular in her class. She was friends with everyone in her class. There was no one in class who did not like her. She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.

On Friendship Day, her class organized an event, in which everyone had to make three presents and give them to their best friends. Lily was really looking forward to the coming Friendship Day as she was expecting gifts from her friends. However, when all the presents were shared among her classmates, she was the only one who hadn’t received any presents. She felt terrible and cried a lot. She wondered how that was possible. She had made so much effort to be friends with everyone but in the end no one thought of her as one of their best friends.

Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while but each one only stayed for a short time before leaving. This was exactly what Lily had done so many times to others.

On that day when she got home, her mother saw her sad face. And then her mother asked her the reason for her sadness. “Where can I find true friends?” Lily asked. Her mother was surprised at her question. Then she asked Lily what had happened in school. Her mother comfort her and said, “You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and love. For a true friend you must always be available，in good times and bad.”

Lily replied, “But I want to be friends with everyone!”
