Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina,surpassing the mans record by two hours!25.Which of the following can be the best one to describe Florence?A.Kind. B.Determined. C.Selfless. D.Generous.26.What does the underlined word surpassing in the last paragraph mean?A.Going after. B.Going beyond. C.Looking for. D.Looking through.27.What can we learn from the text?A.Florence was famous nationwide.B.There always was fog during Florences every swimming.C.Florence swam the Catalina Channel along with her parents.D.No one swam across the English Channel successfully before Florence.CTheyre less likely to have a job,more likely to live at home with their parents.A recent unpublished study from researchers at Princeton University found that more young men,particularly those who dont have college degrees,are living at home,working part-time or not at all,and regularly playing video games.But the popularity of this lifestyle isnt jobs or difficult economyrather,many young men are consciously choosing video games over work.One in five men between the ages of 21 and 30 with less than a bachelors degree were reported not working at all in 2020,more than the 9.5 percent in 2000.These young men have replaced 75 percent of the time they used to spend working with time on the computer,mostly spent playing video games,the new study found.Between 2020 and 2020,this group spent about 3.4 hours a week playing video games.By 2020,that time had risen to 8.6 hours.Much of the trend may have something to do with the psychological effects of video games.Some of these young men say video games are more rewarding than work.“When I play a game,I know if I have a few hours I will be rewarded,”Danny said,a 22-year-old who lives with his parents.The reward systems employed by video game creators are well-documented.Could similar reward systems be applied to the business world to motivate more young men to get and keep a job?Some experts say yes.Technology theorist Tom Chatfield suggests similar strategies（策略）could also be used in education by breaking things down into smaller tasks,rewarding effort consistently,and offering opportunities for group interactions.“If we can look at these things and learn from them and see how to turn them outwards,then I really think we have something quite revolutionary on our hands,”he said.28.Marty young men choose video games over work_.A.based on their own decisions B.due to their friends pressureC.in order to broaden their mind D.in order to make themselves more attractive29.How long did the man mentioned spend per week playing video games in 2020?A.About 3.4 hours. B.About 8.6 hours. C.About 9.5 hours. D.About 75 hours.30.How may Danny feel when he plays video games?A.Brave. B.Regretful. C.Successful. D.Hopeless.31.The underlined expression “similar strategies” in the last paragraph refers to_.A the ways of creating video games B.the reward systems of video gamesC.the psychological effects of video games D.the opportunities of playing video gamesDWildlife officials are using robotic bears to catch poachers（盗猎者）before they can do any damage to real bears like this guy.Robotic taxidermal animals are serving as a new kind of undercover agents.Wildlife officers are using them to attract and catch poachers across the United States,according to the Washington Post.The officers set up the animals in environments where shooting them us illegal and then wait out of sight for poachers who attempt to shoot.They can control the robots with a remote.Although the robotic animals cant walk or run,they are capable of making smaller movements likes lifting their leg or turning their head.And as recent reports suggest,theyre realistic enough to be effective at attracting poachers.Companies such as Robotic Decoys and Custom Robotic Wildlife sell a variety of mechanical animals, including deer,foxes,and bears.Mike Kleman,owner of Robotic Decoys,explains that he makes the animals by following the general taxidermy procedure of fastening a hide to a form.But then,he adds servo motors（伺服马达）the type also used in model cars and airplanesto the neck,ears,tail,or legs.His robo-animals can be controlled using a radio remote or soon,an app.Klemans company is based in Wisconsin,but they ship to officers around the country.The robo-animals range from around $700 for a fox to $4,800 for a moose,but organizations such as the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust ease the financial burden by donating robotic animals to cash-lacked government agencies.The organization has donated robotic animals to agencies in 16 different states,according to its website.And in the future,the robo-animal agents could help deal with international poaching problems,too.“I would like to figure out how to make rhinos,”Kleman told Popular Science.“Theres a big issue overseas about rhino poaching.”32.Robotic animals are_.A.used to attract wild animals B.viewed as a new kind of animals to raiseC.set up secretly to protect wildlife D.well-known all over the world33.What can we infer from the text?A.The design of the robot animals is very good.B.The robot animals are cheap for organizations to buy.C.The servo motors make cars and airplanes go fast.D.The cash-lacked government agencies thanked Kleman so much.34.What do Klemans words in the last paragraph mean?A.He will travel abroad to protect rhinos.B.He will continue working to make robot rhinos.C.He will think about how to raise rhinos.D.He will do research on how to protect rhinos.35.What may be the best title of the text?A.Kleman and his robotic animalsB.The research on robotic animalsC.Wildlife is in danger of being huntedD.Robotic animals are helping to catch poachers第二节（共5小题；每小题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。We often focus so much on building relationships with others that we forget the important first step: being friends of ourselves.That is the vital first step if we are to have good relationships with others.How can we have good relationships with others if we dont ever have good relationships with ourselves?The problem might be worse than we expect._36_.Here is a simple checklist.Is there anything you dont like about yourself from this list?Your pastMaybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about._37_.Even if that happened in the distant past,your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself._38_You might wish that you were born in different family,or that you have different future.Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others,who seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their family.Your personality featuresYou might have some personality features that you dont like.For example,you may be a quiet person who is more interested in your own thoughts and feelings than in spending time with other people and you dont like it. _39_.You achievements_40_.No matter how hard you tried,it might seem impossible for you to match them.You might then think that its because you are not smart enough or dont have enough talents.Is there anything as the same as your reason from this list?Is there anything that resonates（产生共鸣）with you?
