21、Chinese people may not be that familiar with sports tourism, but it is one of the fastest growing parts of tourism, because an increasing number of people are expressing their curiosity in sports events during their trips even if sports are not the key reason of their travel. 【1】

Sports tourism refers to tourism involving participation in or watching sports events and staying in an environment different from the usual tourist hotels or resorts. 【2】 At that time, people traveled to Olympia to watch or participate in Olympic races. Modern sports tourism, on the other hand, surfaced in the 1990s.

【3】 There is also a lack of research to study its true potential. However, given that Chinese authorities attach great importance to people’s health, sports tourism, in many ways, can meet people’s demand for both leisure and physical activity.

Rural tourism, one kind of sports tourism, which consists of fishing, hiking, horse riding and other outdoor activities, is expanding quickly. This form of tourism has been attracting many tourists. 【4】

Sports tourism is a booming industry today, with an annual growth rate of about 15 percent globally. 【5】 The rapid growth of sports tourism will help meet people’s leisure needs and boost the high-quality development in China.

A．It plays a vital role in rural construction.

B．People are paying more attention to safety in travel.

C．But sports tourism is still an emerging area in China.

D．However, this area has long drawn people’s attention in China.

E．The origin of sports tourism can be traced back to Ancient Greece.

F．In China, however, the growth rate is 30 — 40 percent despite a slow start.

G．Marathons, hiking, cycling and camping fall in the area of sports tourism.

22、Noise pollution is one of the serious yet least recognized health threats of our time. Noise increase risks of heart disease, cognitive damage and developmental delays. Now, scientists are revealing that non-humans, too, suffer from noise pollution and that they are far more sensitive than humans. Also, marine animals see and sense the world through sound, which travels farther underwater than light. But scientists are now revealing that a vast range of marine creatures are extremely sensitive to sound. The range of negative effects caused by marine noise pollution is astonishing: delayed development, slow growth etc.

Aquatic (水生的) plants are highly sensitive to sound. Take marine seagrass for example, just like forests on land, seagrass is a carbon sink, contributing to stabilizing our global climate. In the past few decades, seagrass meadows the size of the Amazon have vanished. Climate change, pollution, boat anchors and the building of seawalls and harbors are all likely factors. As researchers at the Technical University of Catalonia have recently discovered, we can now add noise pollution to this list of threats. When the scientists exposed a sample of Mediterranean seagrass to powerful blast-level sound, the seagrass was severely damaged.

Their sensitive hearing is an advantage in the dark depths of the ocean, but it makes aquatic organisms very vulnerable. Loud underwater sounds can damage or destroy their hearing ability. These effects occur at much lower intensities (强度) of sound than are known to be damaging to animals on land.

These findings stress the vast threat that marine noise pollution poses to our oceans. As offshore operations - from seabed mining to oil and gas and renewable energy construction - are increasing, little thought has been given to noise pollution. While exposure limitation levels haven’t yet been determined, it is clear that this emerging science will lead to new restrictions on the permitting and operations of marine industrial and shipping activities.

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

A．Noise pollution is the most serious pollution.

B．Noise pollution hardly influences marine creatures .

C．Noise pollution is regarded as the cause of diseases.

D．Noise pollution harms humans and marine creatures.

【2】What is the function of marine seagrass?

A．It has high sensitivity to light.

B．It can keep global climate stable.

C．It can adjust aquatic organisms.

D．It has weak hearing ability.

【3】Why is aquatic plants’ hearing ability easily damaged?

A．Because it’s sensitive to the intensities of underwater sounds.

B．Because humans have developed oceans quickly.

C．Because there is lack of light in the deep ocean.

D．Because aquatic plants grow rather slowly.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Marine noise pollution will probably be improved.

B．The restrictions on marine noise has been operated.

C．Ocean transportation and fishery will be forbidden.

D．The ocean will be sharply threatened by noise pollution.

23、The invention of the 1D barcodes revolutionized supermarkets and general market management. But shortly after their introduction, their disadvantages were clear. There was an instant demand to be able to encode (编码) more than 20 alphanumeric characters (字符) that the traditional barcodes could hold.

Denso Wave, a Japanese company, at the time, was in the business of manufacturing 1D barcode scanners. Listening to feedback from users of the 1D barcode scanners they were selling, they put together a development team to come up with a solution.

One of the key targets was to ensure that no matter what barcode they designed, it can be scanned very fast. It took the team nearly 18 months, and eventually they came up with a barcode that could hold up to 7,000 alphanumerical characters and could be scanned up to 10 times faster than any other code at the time. In 1994, the QR Code was born.

The QR Code quickly spread outside of Japan and were approved for many standards globally. But that wasn’t the end of the development of the QR Code. After all, nothing is perfect at its beginning and people soon began to present more requirements to Denso Wave. The variations (变体) of the QR Code were soon developed.

One of the biggest reasons why the QR Code has been able to be used widely is that Denso Wave made the decision to make the QR Code publicly available. This means anyone can use it without paying any fees. Denso Wave do hold a patent for the QR Code, but have declared that they have no intention to exercise it.

It wasn’t until 2002 that the first smartphones came to market with the QR Code scanner, and this really accelerated the technology. Once widespread on phones, almost anyone can read these codes and doesn’t require expensive hardware to do so. It is believed that Nokia is the first to bring this technology to a mobile device.

【1】What is the disadvantage of the 1D barcodes?

A．The information they store is too little.

B．They sometimes encoded wrong characters.

C．They disturbed general market management.

D．They could only be used in some supermarkets.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．A character.

B．A scanner.

C．A barcode.

D．Denso Wave.

【3】What is a reason why the QR Code spreads so quickly?

A．It has been protected by a patent.

B．The public are permitted to use it for free.

C．It has been perfect since its first appearance.

D．People have fewer demands for its variations.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．An introduction of the QR Code.

B．The disadvantages of the 1D barcodes.

C．A famous development team.

D．The reasons for developing the QR Code.

24、   Using modern technology, archaeologists (考古学家) have recently discovered about 200 Mayan artifacts (玛雅古器) in Mexico, which surprisingly, appear to have been untouched for up to 1,000 years. The artifacts were found inside a cave in ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

The lead researcher on the project is Mexican archaeologist Guillermo de Anda. He called the cave a “scientific treasure”.

The findings included bone pieces and burnt offering materials. In addition, incense burners, vases, plates and other objects were discovered. Some items included the portrait of Tlaloc, the rain god of central Mexico.

The cave where the objects were found is so unique. It is part of a cave system known as Balamku. The cave is long, narrow and dark. It is about three kilometers east of the main pyramid of Kukulkan. It sits at the center of Chichen Itza which is the stone city described by the United Nations as “one of the greatest Mayan centers of the Yucatan Peninsula.”

The cave sits about 24 meters underground, with areas connected by passages. Some of the passages were so narrow that researchers had to climb in or pull themselves through. The team has so far explored about 460 meters of the cave, and is unsure how far it stretches. The team plans to continue exploring the cave. The found artifacts will not be removed, but studied inside.

The team accidentally found the artifacts while exploring Chichen Itza in an effort to learn more about its underground water system. The new discovery will help scientists better understand the history, culture, lives and beliefs of people who lived in Chichen Itza, especially in the boom years.

Archaeologists believe there may be another cave hidden under the pyramid of Kukulkan that could be connected to the latest find. “Let’s hope God will lead us there,” Guillermo de Anda said. “That is part of the reason why we are entering these sites to find a connection to the natural well under the Kukulkan.”

【1】What’s amazing about the Mayan artifacts discovered in Mexico?

A.The long history and perfect state.

B.The digging time and location.

C.The current high price.

D.The variety of usage.

【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The features of the cave. B.The findings in the cave.

C.The ancient cave system. D.The origin of Mayan centers.

【3】What is the significance of the new discovery?

A.It can help scientists register cultural relics.

B.It can encourage archaeologists to form work beliefs.

C.It can help scientists further learn about Mayan civilization.

D.It can arouse the interest of Mexicans in archaeology.

【4】What will archaeologists do next according to the last paragraph?

A.Dig wells under the Kukulkan.

B.Move the findings to another cave.

C.Find the cause of groundwater disappearance.

D.Try to find another cave under the pyramid of Kukulkan.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一算完整的短文。

“I’m sorry, sir. There’s no cash assistance left for you. Maybe you can come back tomorrow”, the staff said. The poor father, wearing a torn face mask, had to leave. A tear drop stained (留下污迹) his cheek, realizing that he wasn’t able to buy food for his family again. In the past week he had been waiting early just for the help from the local government.

He was starting to leave when the staff suddenly called him. “Wait, sir! I have something for you”, said the staff, handing him a kilo of rice. “That’s for you, sir. That’s all I can give you”, the staff said shyly.

The father was quite happy with the rice. “What’s your work, sir?” the staff asked. The father sighed deeply as he began to speak. “I am just a plumber (水管工), sir. I can’t do my job now because of this pandemic (流行病). I felt helpless, so I tried to get a little help here for my wife and three daughters,” he said sadly.

“Wow. Your family is very lucky to have you, a devoted and loving father. I hope I will be like you one day. And you deserve more help and kindness from others”, the staff said. The father smiled widely. “Thank you, sir. You will be a good family man. Bye.”

On his way home, however, his joy gradually disappeared. It was afternoon when he arrived home. He handed his wife the rice, who happily went to the kitchen with it. Later on, the whole family sat in front of the table except the father.

The youngest daughter noticed it and said, “Father, the porridge is delicious. Why don't you want this?” Hearing those words, the father started to drop tears. “I’m sorry if I'm only feeding you the porridge right now. Nothing better. Sorry.” he cried.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
