A
Veteran Oksana Chusovitina called time on her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games.
After failing to secure a spot in Sunday’s vault (跳马) final, the 46-year-old, representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo’s Ariake Gymnastics Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried, as she left the sport’s biggest stage for the last time.
Born in Uzbek capital Tashkent in 1976, Chusovitina took up gymnastics at age 7. “My mother wanted me to give up gymnastics, she was worried about me all the time. I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I think I eventually succeeded in that.” Chusovitina said of her childhood.
She made her Olympic debut（首次上场）at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part of the gold medal-winning unified team from former Soviet States. Then she represented Uzbekistan, before being granted German citizenship in 2006. She took home a vault silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan in 2013.
When Chusovitina’s 3-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病) in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.
After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love for gymnastics that kept her going.
In a sport renowned for its youthful champions, Chusovitina has become a global fan favorite thanks to her longevity. She was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2017, and last year was named the Best Athlete of the Decade (2011-2020) in a public vote held by the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan.
21. What can we know about Chusovitina
A. She won a vault silver medal for Uzbekistan in 2008.
She thought of giving up gymnastics in her childhood.
C. She has competed in Olympic Games eight times in total.
D. She failed to enter the final in Tokyo Olympics because of her age.
22. Why did Chusovitina switch to German citizenship
A. To fulfill the dream of living abroad.
B. To make her son get a better treatment.
C. To gain a higher income for a richer life.
D. To seek a promising future for her career.
23. Chusovitina can be described as __________.
A. Reliable and modest B. Generous and ambitious
C. Energetic and devoted D. Responsible and determined
B
Analysis of people who eat mushrooms suggests they have a lower risk of developing depression. The association is still a puzzle, and for now, the authors say the data should be interpreted with caution.
The findings are still not clear between various types of mushrooms, but they are in line with several small clinical trials on lion’s mane mushrooms. The trials found eating certain types of fungi(真菌) can help reduce depression and anxiety. “The study adds to the growing list of possible health benefits of eating mushrooms,” says public health scientist Joshua Muscat from the Pennsylvania State University.
What it is specifically about some mushrooms that makes them good for our health is still unknown. White button mushrooms are the most commonly eaten fungi in the US and are full of potassium（钾）, which is thought to help lower anxiety. Other eatable mushrooms like lion’s mane are known to contain certain factors linked to brain health, which are thought to help alleviate symptoms of depression.
The people most likely to eat mushrooms were college-educated, non-Hispanic white women, according to the authors. But the link to depression was only clear when they compared mushroom eaters to non-eaters. Within the group of mushroom eaters, those who ate them relatively a lot didn’t seem to show any additional benefits. In a further analysis of the data, the authors compared those who ate one serving of mushrooms per day with those who ate one serving of red or processed meat. Interestingly, the substitution was not associated with lower depression.
Clearly, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the relationship between mushrooms and mental health. But given how often the relationship keeps popping up in studies, it’s worth exploring more. “These findings highlight the potential clinical and public health importance of mushroom consumption as a means of reducing depression and preventing diseases,” the authors conclude.
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. The relationship between mushrooms and mental health is clear.
B. Mushrooms have potential health importance for our mental health.
C. College-educated and non-Hispanic women like to eat mushrooms most.
D. Eating mushrooms provides the same nutrition as red or processed meat.
25. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. relieve B. revive C. remove D. present
26. The authors conclude the words in the last paragraph to________.
A. encourage the consumption of mushrooms.
B. warn us of the harm depression brings to us.
C. introduce the method of preventing diseases.
D. tell the meaning of studying mushrooms.
27. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Mushrooms Seem to Lower Depression
B. Depression Risk Becomes the Top Killer
C. Eating Mushrooms is Good to Our Brain
D. The Possible Health Benefits of Mushrooms are Clear
C
We all love to take photographs. It’s a simple way to capture a special moment, an amazing view, or just to show off your artistic skills. And it’s great to look back through your photo albums and share your memories with friends. This hasn’t really changed since the invention of photography in the 1830s. But one thing that has changed is the equipment we use.
For many years, we have used traditional cameras to take our pictures with. Our images were captured onto camera film which was then processed into negatives from which photos were printed – a long process.
But the biggest change has come with the development of digital technology. This has made taking photos quicker and easier. It’s enabled us to take a snap and review our pictures instantly. We’ve been able to beautify them, using software on our computer. And of course, we’ve been able to share them like never before – particularly on social media.
Of course, now we have the smartphone – a phone that is, well, smart because it can take photos and sometimes very good quality ones, and we can share them easily. So does that mean the traditional camera will eventually become out-dated Figures from Japan show how the market is shrinking: shipments of traditional digital cameras from companies like Olympus, Canon and Nikon were down 39% year on year.
But Phil Hall, editor of Tech Radar magazine thinks there’s nothing to worry about. He said while people are replacing their digital cameras with smartphones, producers are looking at the more higher-end cameras, like mirrorless cameras.
Certainly, the growth of the smartphone means more and more of us are taking photos and it opens our eyes to the creative possibilities it can provide. But whatever camera viewfinder we end up looking through, it’s important to remember the basics of focusing, good lighting and framing and getting your subject to say “cheese”!
28. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The benefits of photography.
B. The popularity of smartphones.
C. The basic skills of taking photos.
D. The development of photographic equipment.
29. What does Phil Hall think of the situation of cameras
A. Cameras will be out of date eventually.
B. Camera producers are seeking a way out.
C. The sales of digital cameras are likely to rise.
D. Cameras are more advanced than smartphones.
30. The text is most likely to be found in _________.
A. A textbook B. An advertisment
C. A technology magazine D. A science report
第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson described nature as “red in tooth and claw”, he was telling us that the natural world can be cruel as well as beautiful._____31_____.
Most people living in urban areas rarely encounter wild animals in their natural surroundings. ____32____ And they are willing to get close to them. But for wild animals, it is “eat or be eaten,” and they can’t distinguish between humans and other animals.
_____33______ In Canadian woods lives a dog-like animal, coyote, which is a little bigger than a fox, but smaller than a wolf. They usually avoid humans, but the occasional attacks can be deadly. Every year, one or two people end up getting killed by coyotes.
Earlier this year, a herd of elepants in Yunnan left their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve and went on a meandering journey through the province. They destroyed crops and buildings along the way. Villages in their path had to be evacuated because of the potential dangers they posed to villagers. Animal experts haven’t determined why the elephants went on their journey. _____34____ The wild animals we love are in a constant struggle for survival. Our expanding into the natural habitats of wild animals can be dangerous for the animals and then us humans as well.
Maybe we should try to stay away from them. _____35_____ Their lives—red in tooth and claw—are difficult enough without us causing them any more problems than they already have.
A walk in the woods can be dangerous.
It is a way to protect the wild animals, and it’s also our responsibility.
In Canada, people have a more realistic attitude towards wild animals.
In simple terms, we should try to keep proper distance from wild animals.
Hence they misunderstand that wild animals are just as friendly as Disney characters.
Thanks to active environmental conservation, the number of the elephants grew larger.
A reasonable possibility is that they probably needed more room and more food to survive.

Last December, Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, when something caught his eye. As Alvin approached, he saw that the object was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll, puppy, My Little Pony. With love, Luna.”
Alvin’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scene. He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true too. He just wasn’t sure how.
Liberal is more than 650 miles from Grand Cane. But Alvin’s wife was not held back by the distance. As a passionate Facebook user, she had seen people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender. At first, he wasn’t confident it would work. But as he saw the number of people sharing his post creep into the hundreds, his hope grew into expectation.
Meanwhile, Leticia Flores, the mother of four-year old Luna had no idea that such an effort was underway. It had been a hard year for Leticia and her girl. As Covid-19 spread, the family felt lonely, scared and isolated. On a particularly tough day last December, Leticia came up with the idea of having the girl send a letter to Santa by balloon.
One day in early January, Leticia noticed that a friend had been calling her all morning. When Leticia finally called her back, the friend blurted, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.”

One possible version
Paragraph 1:
At her friend’s urging, she logged on to Facebook and saw Alvin’s post. Then she saw that people from all over were asking if they, too, could be part of fulfilling the wish list. Leticia was touched. Curious about this man who had tried so hard to find her family, she gave him a call. When Alvin told her how much it would mean to him to grant the girl’s wishes, she agreed to let him send some gifts. Thrilled and nervous , Alvin collected five boxes’ worth of gifts girls like and sent them off.
Paragraph2:
Still, there was one wish on the list that couldn’t go in the box: A puppy. Alvin had hoped to get every last item on that list.So he tried to search and found a perfect one in the end. After an effort-taking packing, the couple headed to Liberal. That morning, upon arriving at Luna’s house, Alvin let the puppy run to the excited girl, who exclaimed with delight when she learned it was hers. Tears filling her eyes, Leticia offered the Bamburgs her heartfelt gratitude. It seemed that the balloon broke at just the right moment to fulfill a child’s Christmas wish and brought two faraway families together.

M: Hi, Carol. Are you ready to start our class project about keeping pets
W: Yes, John. What kind of pets should we focus on
M: Tom and I are thinking of a cat or a dog. Which do you prefer
W: Well, I don’t know much about either of them. What about fish My brother is keeping several ones at home.
M: That’s a good idea. I’ll ask Tom to help you do the survey.
W: Sure. What else should we discuss, John
M: I think we should make some cards so we won’t forget what we’re saying during the presentation.

W: I’m sure Mary can handle the summarizing.
M: That’s settled.

W: Hi, Adam! What are you doing here
M: Since you weren’t answering any of my calls, I thought I’d make a home visit.
W: I’m sorry. I know you are looking for this week’s article, and I know I’m past the deadline…
M: That’s not why I’m here. Actually, a publishing company called me a week ago with an interest in turning your articles in the newspapers into a book. I promised to set up a meeting between you and them by the end of the week, but I didn’t expect you to be avoiding my calls for seven days straight.
W: Are you serious
M: Yes, I’m serious, but they are starting to think that you are not serious. I’ve scheduled a meeting for this afternoon at four. Can you make it
W: Of course! I can’t wait for that.

M: I’ve got Molly in the studio today. She lives in a new housing zone named BedZED. Welcome to the program, Molly.
W: Thank you.
M: How do you like BedZED
W: It is a great zone. You know, all the energy in BedZED is produced by special boards on the roofs of the buildings. The boards can turn sunlight into electricity. Now I can live there without feeling ashamed of polluting the environment.
M: So, even in the British climate it’s possible to produce enough solar energy for residents. By the way, what kinds of people live there
W: All kinds, such as teachers, nurses and young professionals. BedZED has shared work stations where computers are shared by all the people, so energy is saved. There’s also a library for us. Instead of back gardens, the gardens are on the roofs!
M: I’d love to see this place.
W: Well, you can. But don’t drive your car. There’s nowhere to park. I go everywhere on my bicycle or by public transport.
M: You really have a green lifestyle. Then how are you getting home today
W: I’ll take the bus.

Now look at some of this evening’s programs on Radio Pearl. At 7:30 we have Art Review, a program which has fast become a favorite among our listeners, with its mix of in-depth reports on artistic events, and interviews with the artists. Today we’ll go to the National Museum in London, which holds almost five events a year, and this one is always particular and popular because it has many works by student artists.
Then at 8:00, there’s another one in our series of classic plays and tonight it’s The Vanishing Lady, starring Margaret Louden. It’s a brilliant play by Porten and also his last work before he moved on to writing for films.
Finally for those who like sailing, Business Scenes at 9:30 brings you the “unsinkable” boat and a chance to meet its maker, a Canadian businessman—Peter Field. In 1995, Peter was a manager in a computer company but he left that job to go on a world trip. He had wanted a stress-free life but ended up building boats. His new company has many products, including expensive boats costing $1-2 million, which Peter claims will suffer no serious damage even if they hit an iceberg at full speed…
Well, back to this afternoon’s programs…
