21、As a hockey parent, while watching my son played from Mite to Bantam, House League to Travel, I’ve learned that losing may be best for kids.

In his third season in 2019, my son’s team never lost more than three straight games. There was happiness, boasting, celebration, pizza. In short, it was a typically good youth hockey season. He improved as a player, but did not much change as a person.

However, what happened the next year added its story to the legends of sporting incompetence. Not merely weak but prettily bad, this team lost 40 of their first 50 games, most of the defeats coming in the course of two losing streaks. For a time, I worried that these streaks would kill my child’s love of the game.

But that’s not what happened. As bad as it got, the losing was clarifying. It weeded out the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory, leaving just the die-hards behind. What started as a list of 17 of the team was cut down to 12. It was especially instructive for the kids. It taught him a great truth of the world: For everyone good, there is someone better.

What’s more, the kids were learning the game in a way that only losing can teach. Each player got to play everywhere, to learn and appreciate the role of every position on the ice. They kept an eye on their opponents too, studying and incorporating the tricks of success. In an effort to break the streak, they went back to basics, accepted the wisdom of the hockey ancients: If playing like a team, they can defeat a collection of all-stars; If doing small and unappreciated tasks well, they can get the goal.

This new team had character and could never be counted out, no matter the score. They had learned the most important lesson: You can lose without being beaten. They squeaked into the state tournament, then made it all the way to the final, where the winner was decided in overtime. When they lost that game and went into the handshake line, it was not as runners-up but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick — by losing.

【1】What does the author think about the son’s team in the third season in 2019?

A．The team had a bad performance.

B．The team didn’t live up to the author’s expectations.

C．The team played typically well and won all the games.

D．The team didn’t have the spirit of facing failure.

【2】What does the underlined word “clarify” refer to?

A．The losing made the kids better understand hockey.

B．The losing helped the kids learn a great truth of the world.

C．The losing separated true player from those playing for glory.

D．The losing boosted the kids’ teamwork.

【3】According to the author, what have the son’s team learned?

A．For everything big, there is something bigger.

B．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

C．God helps those who help themselves.

D．The hardest battle you’re going to fight is the battle to be just you.

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

A．How Kids Can Deal With Losing

B．What Kids Can Learn From Losing

C．Why Kids Can Benefit From Losing

D．How Kids Can Get Over From Losing

22、   It was a nervous time. World War II had started, and British ships were always watching for German submarines called U-boats. The ship Ben Lomond had left Cape Town, South Africa, with a crew of 55, including a young officer named Poon Lim.

On November 23, 1942, the worst fear came true. The Ben Lomond was attacked by a U-boat. Within minutes the boat was sinking. Poon Lim grabbed a life jacket and leaped over the side. He swam rapidly away from the ship in case it exploded. Sure enough, it let out a large boom and sank beneath the waves. For two hours Poon Lim struggled in the water. Once he almost got onto a life raft with five other sailors, but it got away from his grasp. Then he saw another life raft that was empty, swam to it, and climbed aboard. He found a few cans of biscuits, a water jug, some flares, and a flashlight, which could be enough supplies for about a month.

Day after day Poon Lim had his few biscuits and a couple of sips of water. He searched the horizon for ships. Twice he leaped up to shout and wave when he saw help coming. Once he saw a freight ship. It passed him. At a later time, he saw a United States Navy plane. It flew low over the raft but then disappeared. Still later a U-boat spotted him but for some reason left him alone.

Poon Lim knew he needed to stay strong. He couldn’t get much exercise on an eight-foot-square raft, but he could swim. A couple of times a day, he circled the raft, always watching for sharks. Soon his food and water ran low. He knew that drinking seawater would make him sick, so he tore off the canvas cover on his life jacket and set it out to catch rainwater. Then he took apart the flashlight and used a wire inside to make a fishhook. For months Poon Lim drifted, catching fish and sometimes birds. One time he even caught a shark. Finally, after 130 days, he noticed that the color of the water was changing. Two days later, on his 133rd day, he saw a boat. Three sailors in a small sailboat picked him up and took him to Belem, a city on the coast of Brazil. Poon Lim had crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

No one ever had survived longer on a raft at sea. Poon Lim received many honors, including Britain’s highest award. A booklet of his survival methods was put into every British life raft.

24、   Can you be hit by a bullet and keep on fighting, or escape from a bomb explosion? Let's take a look at some actions in big-budget movies in summer vacation.

Survive nearby explosions

The scene: A bomb explodes nearby but the hero escapes unharmed.

The science: Powerful explosion produces quickly expanding gas travelling faster than the speed of sound. Although this big wave lasts just a few milliseconds, it can cause hidden injuries whose effects may not become obvious for several days.

No one, except the most extreme terrorists, plans to be near a bomb, so mostly, survival comes down to good fortune — the size and type of the bomb and your distance from it.

Is it possible? Stand too close and no one is going to walk away from an explosion

unharmed. Not even Iron Man.

Fight on after being shot

The scene: The bad man is shot several times, but just keeps on going.

The science: Travelling at a speed of well over 250 meters per second, bullets are full of energy, much of which is transferred to the unlucky goal. High-speed, high-calibre（口径）bullets are likely to floor a man. Smaller, slower bullets can pass straight through a body, and because skin and tissue are elastic（弹性的），the hole may close up.

Whether or not you fall or escape also depends on where you are hit. A shot to the spine（脊柱）or head will stop you in your track. But if the bullet misses vital organs, you may be able to keep going, for a while at least.

Is it possible? If your vital organs don't take a hit, you may be able to keep going, but not for long. If the bullet does floor you, blood loss finally will.

Fall from a building

The scene: A hero falls from a high building and survives.

The science: It is not the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop at the end. In the movies, falls are commonly slowed by trees, power lines, roofs and the like. Dividing one big fall into many smaller ones slows your fall, reducing the force of impact and increasing the chance of survival.

For the same reason, what you land on is also important.

How you hit the ground also influences whether or not you survive.

Is it possible? Possible but unlikely. Survival is somewhat relative. You can have a good chance to survive, but that doesn't mean you can jump up and run around. Brain injury, broken bones and chest wound are common.

【1】What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?

A.One might die, but his relatives will live well.

B.It is hard to say one is dead or still alive only by judging from his breath.

C.A man is still breathing, but some organs can not function well as a normal person.

D.Whether an actor can survive or not largely depends on his professional performance.

【2】This article probably comes from a   .

A.story book B.science fiction

C.movie review D.movie magazine

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

A.The Science of Summer Movies B.The Background of Summer Movies

C.How to Take the Three Shots D.How to Survive the Three Scenes

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.As long as one stands far enough away from a bomb he can be safe and unharmed.

B.The hole caused by a bullet in one's body can be treated as nothing has happened at all.

C.Either a hit on spine or a huge blood loss will immediately send you down on the floor.

D.One might be only slightly injured if he falls from a 5-storey building and lands on a soft mud.
