In November 2020, Stephanie Morton announced her retirement. The then 29-year-old athlete’s exit was a blow for the Australian Olympic program. “This decision wasn't made lightly. Eight months ago, I had such an idea, and thankfully I had the support of the Australian Cycling Team throughout the whole process, along with my family and close friends,” said Morton
Born in Adelaide, Morton stood out as an athlete throughout her childhood even though in a different sport. She grew up in a badminton-mad family. Her father coached the South Australian team, and her mother was its manager. It just so happened that when Morton was 15, her uncle suggested she test her power output on an exercise bike. “I always say cycling picked me. I didn't pick cycling,” Morton said.
Morton joined the national program midway through the reign of Anna Meares, who won a medal at every Olympics between 2004 and 2016.It was an unusual relationship-- Meares was Morton's coach, teammate and competitor.
In 2010, Morton took on the role as Tandem Pilot for the cyclist Felicity Johnson, with the combination winning three world titles across 2011 and 2012, followed by one gold medal at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. In 2014, Morton beat Meares for the first time at the national track championships. The same year, Morton won one gold medal and one silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. But it was after the 2016 Rio Olympics, a disappointing overall campaign for the Australian track team, that Morton really began to shine. Two silver medals at the 2017 World Champions were followed by three gold medals at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Compared with the pandemics global deaths, the retirement of an athlete might seem insignificant. For Morton, the next stage of her life now begins. The cyclist has studied criminal justice part-time throughout her cycling career and has previously shown an intention to join the police. Morton said, “I want to be an active and positive role model.”
24. What do we know about Morton’s decision of retirement?
A. It gave her friends a big surprise. B. It was made after careful consideration.
C. It met with relief from her team. D. It was made mainly because of her injuries.
25 From Paragraph 2, we know that young Morton .
A. had strong desire to be a cyclist B. received strict training in ball games
C. showed much possibility as an athlete D. tried different sports and decided on cycling
26. When did Morton 's career as an athlete take off?
A. After the 2016 Rio Olympics B. In 2014 when she first beat Meares
C. At the London 2012 Paralympic Games D. At the 2018 Commonwealth Games
27. What can we infer about Morton from the last paragraph?
A. She is in trouble. B. She likes following suit.
C. She has a clear life goal. D. She is under extra pressure.

Utility, Portland's low-waste, refill and reuse company, started in January 2019 and held its first retail（零售） shop in April. Rebecca Rottman and Nadine Appenbrink, two women on a mission to green their city, are deeply committed to sustainability(持續(xù)性) and supporters of zero waste.
They believed that their green-minded city was missing something that was essential to sustainability. So, they started one shop (that is almost zero waste) as a second job for both. It started as a personal journey, looking for clean products that didn't come in plastic. Their mission is to reduce the amount of single plastic use by allowing people to bring their own reusable containers.
Every week the women teamed up with local stores to sell their goods and to refill products for returning customers. Now they are operating only online for pickup or local delivery in the Portland area. It's really easy. Just shop online and choose a container. Then select pickup or delivery. The products include all-natural dish bar soap--that is locally made and a wide variety of plastic-free kitchen tools. While not completely zero waste, Utility is striving to get incredibly close. Appenbrink said, "We’re all on a journey. And we want to be as approachable as possible. Utility is to raise awareness about this lifestyle.”
When the shops were running, the women were able to build community with other like-minded environmental activists and they planned to do community engagement activities like park cleanups. There are also plans to start some DIY classes on how to make natural products like the face cream they sell.
There are zero waste or as close as possible stores in other communities, like Clean Kilo in Birmingham, UK, but they are real brick buildings. Utility's concept is so simple that it can be copied almost anywhere. Zero waste markets are the way to go to transition (過渡) into the economy that is needed to stop plastic waste, reduce our carbon footprint and have a sustainable future.
28. What can we know about Utility according to the first paragraph?
A. It was set up by Portland government. B. It's an environmentally-friendly company.
C. It makes Portland become much safer. D It's a world famous zero waste company
29. Why did Rottman and Nadine found the shop?
A. To raise money for a charity, B. To provide locals with daily necessities.
C. To offer more job chances to people. D. To reduce the use of single plastic.
30. What will DIY classes focus on?
A. How to make natural items. B. How to improve lifestyle.
C. How to try zero waste. D. How to develop a community.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. It's a hard job to set up zero waste stores. B. Portland almost goes zero waste.
C. The economy of zero waste markets should change. D. It's easy to copy what Utility does.

Children who suffer trauma (創(chuàng)傷) from abuse or violence early in life show biological signs of aging faster than children who have never experienced adversity(逆境), according to the research published by the American Psychological Association. The study examined three different signs of biological aging-early adolescence, cellular aging and changes in brain structure-and found that trauma exposure was associated with all the three.
Exposure to adversity in childhood is a powerful predictor of health outcomes later in life--not only mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety, but also physical health like cardiovascular disease(心血管病), diabetes and cancer,," said Katie Mclaugllin, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Harvard University and senior author of the study published in the journal Psychological Bulletin."Our study suggests that experiencing
violence can make the body age more quickly at a biological level, which may help to explain that connection.”
Previous research found mixed evidence on whether childhood adversity is always linked to accelerated aging. However, those studies looked at many different types of adversity abuse, neglect, poverty and more and at several different measures of biological aging. To distinguish the results, McLaughlin and her colleagues decided to look separately at two categories of adversity: threat-related adversity, such as abuse and violence, and deprivation- related(與缺乏有關(guān)的) adversity, such as physical or emotional neglect or poverty.
The researchers performed an analysis(分析) of almost 80 studies, with more than 116,000 total participants. They found that children who suffered threat-related trauma such as violence or abuse were more likely to enter adolescence early and also showed signs of accelerated aging on a cellular level--including shortened telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our strands of DNA that wear down as we age. However, children who experienced poverty or neglect did not show either of those signs of early aging.
In a second analysis, Mclaughlin and her colleagues systematically reviewed 25 studies with more than 3, 253 participants that examined how early-life adversity affects brain development. They found that adversity was associated with reduced cortical (表層) thickness-- a sign of aging because the cortex thins as people age.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To bring in a finding. B. To present an argument.
C. To give a definition D. To make a comparison.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Katie McLaughlin is a specialist in childhood diseases.
B. Childhood threat-related adversity has a huge influence on children's later life.
C. Adversity helps children overcome mental and physical problems.
D. Exposure to violence makes children mentally age most.
34. How did Mclaughlin and her colleagues conduct the research?
A. By interviewing participants. B. By listing mixed evidence.
C. By making an analysis. D. By collecting examples.
35. What is this text mainly about?
A. The signs of accelerated aging. B. The ways to classify information.
C. The benefits of exposure to adversity. D. The connection between childhood trauma and aging.

How to help yourself relax before bed
Having trouble sleeping lately? There are a great number of things that can keep a person up at night. Some causes of sleeplessness are beyond our control. 36 .
Mindful meditation(冥想)
You may not be able to force your mind to quiet down, but a moment of mental silence just might sneak(潛入)up on you. 37 . Then it is much easier to pursue that feeling and cause it to take place.
38
It's silly to expect your mind to stop worrying. You can write about all the things that are worrying you and how you will deal with them. By putting those solutions on paper, and trying to carry out them, you can reduce the number of troublesome things in your mind.
Create a pre-sleep routine
It's hard to change from worrying to relaxing if you jump into bed as soon as you finish answering work emails. 39 . For example, you can have a warm shower, followed by going to bed with a glass of warm milk while listening to some soft music. The best part of this is that such things tend to become more powerful over time.
Stay healthy
There are some vitamin(維生素) and hormone imbalances that can mess up your energy levels. 40 . Such imbalances can be eased by the use of moderate vitamin supplements and keeping fit through taking natural remedies, such as exercise, healthy diet, good relationships, and so on.
A. Put down your worries
B. Go to bed as early as you can
C. This disorder makes it harder for you to go to sleep
D. So it is helpful to make some adjustments before bed
E. There is a time and place for worrying, but bedtime is neither
F. However, there’s always something we can do to get better sleep
G. Once you know what a quiet mind feels like, you'll like the feeling

When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid a tutor(家庭教師) forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math. It ended up raising my marks from fifty to fifty-five.
I had to admit it was mainly my fault. Maybe I should have concentrated my math from the beginning. But studying math was a tough thing. Sitting on a chair to work on confusing math problems for two hours was a slow and painful process. During the process, I would fidget(坐立不安) and have many trips to the refrigerator in an attempt to get off that chair for at least five minutes.
During math tests, my teachers would always stay by my desk. My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests,” How’s your math this time?" So I became extremely afraid of math. While normal people of my age were scared of some insects and adventurous travels, I feared anything to do with numbers. The thought of a teacher picking on me in class made me feel scared. The red marks on the test paper were also terrifying.
My fear of math got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage me, "I'm glad to do what I can to help you.” But I couldn't tell her the real reason why I didn't ask for help-I didn’t want to be considered stupid. Every question I had was, in my opinion at the time, something that the whole class had understood but I. So instead, I ended up not caring about anything related to math, without working hard on math at all. And I concluded everything would work out in the end
Eventually, my classmates and I took the final test that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school. Days after the exam-- on a rainy summer morning, Ms. Robbins called me.
Paragraph 1:
With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office.



Paragraph 2:
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent.

Non-cash Payment
As we know, Non-cash Payment has become more and more
popular in China. The reasons why people like non-cash Payment are as follows.
First of all, it’s convenient. We can pay whatever we buy with only a smartphone. Second, it reduces the risk of losing money, and we are likely to feel safer without cash when going shopping. Most importantly, we can keep up with the times by using something new.
As far as I’m concerned, non-cash payment is an important part of modern life.
讀后續(xù)寫
Paragraph 1
With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office. After asking me to sit down, she told me that I failed the math test. And she suggested that I should spend another year in middle school if I wanted to be admitted to a relatively good high school. I burst into tears when I heard the news. Seeing that, Ms. Robbins came to comfort and encourage me, and said she'd like to offer any help if necessary. After leaving her office, I was anxious, wondering how to tell the bad news to my parents
Paragraph 2
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent. My body shook, waiting for their blame. However, they encouraged me to have another try in ninth grade. It was then that I determined to take math seriously. The following day, I turned to Ms Robbins for help and told her about my determination. Ms. Robbins was happy that I finally decided to work hard on math. Thanks to her patient guidance, I made great progress and was not afraid of math any more. Finally, I made my way to a good high school and a university. Now I’m a doctor and I' m proud of myself.
