21、Sport is a multibillion-dollar industry, and top teams are increasingly turning to technology to give them the edge. Until recently, gathering athletes' performance data was a hard process. Coaches and sports scientists would spend hours collecting information from games and training sessions, pulling out the information related to their players development. But technology-based performance analytics has changed that.

These days, athletes can wear devices or vests with GPS-tracking capabilities that record the speed and distance as they run, as well as the impacts on their body. The information helps coaches develop training plans to prevent athletes from becoming too tired and maximize performance for match days.

STATSports, a company based in Northern Ireland, is a leader in the performance analytics industry. Most teams in the English Premier League (EPL) use its technology, as do top American football teams. In 2018, the company secured a five-year deal with the US Soccer Federation, reported to be worth $1.2 billion, which STATSports said would see millions of US players at all levels using its devices.

“When we started the company 12 years ago, this technology was in the early stages," STATSports co-founder Sean O'Connor said. "Now, it's common throughout most sports at all levels and it's now about being able to get the maximum from it." The company's Sonra 3.0 software released in 2020 lets teams view data almost instantly from mobile devices so that even during competition, players and coaches can get feedback and make changes. Over the past year, the technology has also been used to track performance away from the training ground. As the United Kingdom went into lockdown, clubs used STATSport's devices to keep track of their players as they trained remotely.

The sports analytics industry could be worth $4.6 billion by 2025, according to Grand View Research, with the technology starting to expand to the amateur level. Companies such as Australia's Catapult- which also works with EPL teams- -and STATSports have developed systems targeted at the amateur market, letting users compare their performance to their peers' and to professionals'.

"You can create a group with your friends, compare yourself to professionals and estimate where you are in relation to that," says O'Connor. "There's a huge appetite for that and it's growing.

And the underbelly (弱点) of kids and youth football players is where the next wave of technology advances will come."

【1】What does the underlined word “that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The use of athletes' achievements.

B．The performance of professional athletes.

C．The method of training professional athletes.

D．The way to get useful data about athletes' performance.

B．College students.

C．Young footballers.

D．Amateur players.

22、Some young people win distinction because of their good looks, their dance moves or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something significant and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018 at the age of 13, he developed a way to use artificial intelligence to help pancreatic (胰腺的) cancer patients. Rishab’s “Pancreatic Cancer Deep Learning System” won the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge and its $25,000 prize.

Rishab explains that a family friend died of cancer. Then he learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. “I’m also into programming, so I was learning about artificial intelligence. I decided to combine the two areas to try to solve a real-world problem using artificial intelligence.”

Rishab has invested his winnings in farther research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society. Samyak helps poor children enter the STEM. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. Many kids would have simply blown their prize money on a fast car or some other shallow things. Rishab has also put some money aside to further his own learning. He is considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor — or both.

How did Rishab become the one that he is? It helped that his father is an engineer. And he has been inspired by his brother and other relatives who work and do research in the medical field. He’s seen how STEM jobs have given them “the opportunity to make immediate differences in people’s lives.” That’s an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rishab is providing his teenage peers with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can accomplish.

【1】Which may be the best title for the text?

A．A new hope for the pancreatic cancer patients.

B．Different ways for young people to gain fames.

C．A young scientist and his family doing STEM jobs.

D．A teenager making differences using artificial intelligence.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．What led to Rishab’s creative idea.

B．How difficult it is to treat pancreatic cancer.

C．Why Rishab learnt artificial intelligence.

D．How to solve a real-world problem.

【3】What does the underlined word “blown” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Earn.

B．Save.

C．Collect.

D．Waste.

【4】Which words can best describe Rishab ?

A．Strong-willed and honest.

B．Gifted and responsible.

C．Confident and generous.

D．Considerate and curious.

23、   In an effort to fight plastic pollution, Indian company EnviGreen has produced a new material that looks like plastic, but is 100% organic and eco-friendly. You can even dispose (处理) of such a “plastic” bag by eating it.

EnviGreen founder Ashwath Hedge came up with this idea after seeing people struggling to find alternatives to plastic bags, following bans released by several Indian cities. So he decided to work on something that would solve this problem while being environment-friendly.

Hedge spent four years experimenting with various materials, but one day he discovered a combination of 12 ingredients, including potatoes, corn, vegetable oil, bananas etc, which looked and felt like plastic, but caused none of the environmental problems. The process is obviously a closely-guarded secret, but Hedge did reveal that the raw materials are first changed into liquid form, and then taken through a six-stage process to create the bags.

The cost of an EnviGreen bag is about 35% higher than that of a plastic bag, but the benefits of using the former are more than worth the extra cost. EnviGreen bags dissolve naturally in less than 180 days, and if placed in water at room temperature, they dissolve in less than a day. Placed in boiling water, they dissolve in about 15 seconds.

EnviGreen has begun to produce EnviGreen bags for commercial use. The company has set up a factory in Bangalore, where it produces around 1,000 tons of eco-friendly “plastic” bags a month. That’s not very much, considering that the city of Bangalore alone consumes over 30,000 tons of plastic bags every month, but Hedge says that he wants to set up enough factories before they start distributing to individual customers. They have started supplying the bags to big supermarkets like Metro and Reliance. Apart from protecting the environment, Hedge also plans to use EnviGreen bags to support local farmers.

Nowadays, over 15,000 tons of plastic waste is produced in India every day, only 9,000 of which are collected and processed. Inventions of EnviGreen can help solve this problem, so let's hope it lives up to its potential.

【1】What can we know about EnviGreen bags?

A.They give out wonderful smells.

B.They cost much less than plastic bags.

C.They are beneficial to the environment.

D.They are developed by the Indian goverment.

【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.it is very easy to produce EnviGreen bags

B.EnviGreen bags are made from various fruits

C.the details of how to make EnviGreen bags aren’t made public

D.the Indian government has banned plastic bags across the country

【3】EnviGreen bags dissolve most quickly when they are ________.

A.thrown in the wild B.washed in cold water

C.buried in the soil D.put in boiling water

【4】What can we infer about EnviGreen bags from the passage?

A.Individual customers cannot buy them so far.

B.They will replace all plastic bags in India soon.

C.They are not well-accepted by big supermarkets.

D.Local farmers are in great need of EnviGreen bags.

【5】What does the author think of EnviGreen bags?

A.Wasteful. B.Practical.

C.Ridiculous. D.Crazy.

24、Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.

Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.

The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were led seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.

But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields,where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.

Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.

【1】Why did the researchers carry out the study?

A．To improve the cows’ living conditions.

B．To test the effects of the seaweed.

C．To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.

D．To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.

【2】What’s the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The background of the subjects.

B．The process of the research.

C．The content of the experiment.

D．The results of the study.

【3】What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?

A．Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.

B．It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.

C．Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.

D．Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?

A．Doubtful.

B．Positive.

C．Unclear.

D．Negative.

25、   There’s a lot that can be conveyed in a handshake. Throughout history, such a(n) _______ was used to complete a business deal,_______ friendship, or signal trust.

But touching strangers can also lead to other, less beneficial shared_______ – like disease outbreaks. As fears about COVID-19 increase, France has warned its citizens to_______ handshakes.

In a 2015 study, researchers in Israel filmed handshakes between hundreds of strangers and found nearly a quarter of participants________ their hands unconsciously afterwards.________, they concluded that a handshake may be used to detect chemical signals, and possibly as a means of________ – just as other animals do by smelling each other.

Behavioral scientist Val Curtis in London says that one possible________ for the handshake as greeting is to imply that the other person is __________  enough to share germs (细菌) with. Because of this, the________ can go in and out of style depending on public health concerns.
