Female figure skaters aren’t really expected to be able to do triple axels（三周半跳）. Especially not older ones---in the Olympics, that means older than 20. Mirai Nagasu did both, nailing the jump in competition at 24 during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She was the first American woman to land a triple axel in the Olympic Games-and only the third woman to do it.

Nagasu's been pursuing her own path since she was just 5. “My parents used to take me golfing（打高尔夫球）every day because that was the career they wanted me to have, ”she wrote. “They took me ice skating one day because we couldn't go golfing due to the rain, and after that, I kept asking to be taken to go skating. ” Her ambition paid off eventually, beginning with a host of Four Continents and ISU World Junior Championship medals and ending with two World Championship and two Olympic appearances each.

Unlike other popular athletes who've traded childhood for training, Nagasu had to attend public school by day and help her parents in their restaurant by night. “They really taught me to work for what I want, ” she said. That lesson was put to the test in 2014, when despite taking third place at the U. S. Figure Skating Championships, Nagasu was passed over for the Olympic team in favor of fourth-place finisher Ashley Wagner. Some athletes might have taken off their skates for good at that point. Instead, Nagasu got a new coach and learned the triple axel. After two years under his instruction, she displayed her new skill in the U. S. National Championships. By the time she tried it on Olympic ice in 2018, she'd perfected it. Nagasu performed the difficult three-and-a-half jump, helping her team win a bronze medal（铜牌） in the end.

24. Which of the following statements about Mirai Nagasu is TRUE?

A. She disliked ice skating at a young age.

B. She was well-known as a golfer in America.

C. She succeeded in the 2018 Olympics for her triple axel.

D. She was the first woman who successfully did a triple axel.

25. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?

A. Nagasu's creativity and ambition.    B. Nagasu's family background.

C. Nagasu's education at home.     D. Nagasu's road to success.

26. What happened to Mirai Nagasu in 2014?

A. She had to quit training out of economic reason.

B. She dropped out of school to help her parents in the restaurant.

C. She failed to be involved in the Olympics for some reason beyond expectation.

D. She was defeated by Ashley Wagner at the U. S. Figure Skating Championships.

27. What lesson can we learn from Mirai Nagasu's story?

A. Interest is the best teacher.     B. Poor children are in charge early.

C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.   D. Success comes from constant effort.

C

Commercial aviation（航空）alone contributes around three percent of total global carbon emissions（排放）. But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable aviation fuel （SAF）. In a study released this week, a team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory （NREL） details a method of transforming food waste into SAF that can be used in existing engines. Making SAF is a more complicated process-it's got to be very similar to the petrol-based aviation fuel we use today in commercial flights.

The researchers use volatile fatty acids（挥发性脂肪酸）（VFAs） from smelly food waste and transform it into simple paraffin molecules（石蜡分子）that can be used in fuel and really aren't all that chemically different from traditional emissions-heavy fuels. There are other renewable biofuels that have been made from biomass（生物质）, specifically oil and fat from vegetables and animals, but using the ever-mounting pile of food waste to fuel flights broadens those possibilities.

Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at NREL, says major companies are eager to get involved in SAF because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial flights, just aren't possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances-“So using SAF that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out traditional emissions-heavy fuels. ” Vardon also says that “because the wet waste would normally go to a landfill and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using SAF could actually have a negative carbon footprint when it is dramatically used. ”

A major question as the researchers move forward with this type of research is if it is possible to run an airplane engine on fully renewable biofuel. Rolls-Royce recently did a test on one of their engines with 100 percent SAF and it worked. “This fuel is not crazy and we can solve these problems, " Vardon says.

28. Which of the following is TRUE about SAF?

A. It can be used to reduce carbon emissions globally.

B. It's less functional than the petrol-based aviation fuel.

C. It's composed of VFAs and simple paraffin molecules.

D. It is virtually impossible to be made from biomass like oil and fat.

29. What is the focus of Vardon's words in paragraph 3?

A. The benefits of food rubbish-generated SAF.

B. The environmental impacts of the wet waste.

C. The simple process of making and using SAF.

D. The future of battery-operated commercial flights.

30. What is the author's purpose of referring to Rolls-Royce's test in the last paragraph?

A. To promote its production.

B. To confirm the potential of SAF.

C. To show off its powerful airplane engines.

D. To express doubt about the research.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Natural emergence of renewable biofuels

B. Green alternative to emissions-heavy fuels

C. Unavoidable decline of commercial aviation

D. Gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

D

Free school meals are back in the news. Footballer Marcus Rashford’s petition （请愿书）to extend free school meals provision into the school holidays has collected 1. 1 million signatures, causing the government to reverse （cancel officially） policy. It has restarted the debate over free school meals, fuelled, most recently, by figures forecasting that if the government ends as planned the current £20 top-up（附加款）, another 200, 000 children will slip into poverty （陷入贫困）. This is in addition to the 550, 000 children already living in poverty previous to COVID-19. The roots of the current school meals system lie in the mid-19th century. In Manchester, independent charities as well as official bodies started to provide free meals for undernourished children in the 1870s. When education became a must in the following decades, the extent of the issue became apparent. Proponents of feeding starving children pointed out that it was due to government order that children were in school, not working and contributing to the family food budget （预算）, so the government should pay.

Reception was mixed. Then, as now, children refused foods they weren't used to. Diaries of the time talk of “little bags of mystery （sausages）”. Some children were put off brassicas （芥菜 类）for life. Finding the balance between cheap and good proved hard. The chief medical officer talked about the lack in calorie value and elements of a well-balanced diet which a needy child does not get at home, such as milk, cheese, eggs, green vegetables, fruit and meat. In 1980, the Tory government, desperate to cut costs, made provision largely optional and reversed nutritional standards. Over the next 15 years, convenience and cost became the most important.

Today, school meals provision is linked to benefits: in England around 17 per cent of children are entitled to free school meals. Provision is outsourced （外包）, leading to huge variation. In the last year, we've seen all of the age-old debates repeated once more. How do we decide who is entitled? How do we guarantee quality? Who decides what children eat? Who pays? Undernutrition does not just have physical effects, but also affects behavior and ability to learn. It has a lifelong impact. The arguments around free school meals seem never to end. But they are hugely important, and until poverty is ended, they will not and should not go away.

32. What is the ultimate result of Marcus Rashford's petition?

A. It can raise fund for hunger relief for children.

B. It has restarted the debate over free school meals.

C. It can help prevent more children becoming poor.

D. It has driven the government to cancel free school meals.

33. The underlined word “proponents” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by

A. Chefs.   B. Critics.   C. Advocates.   D. Opponents.

34. What can be inferred about school meals from paragraph3?

A. School meals were cheap but not tasty.

B. The Tory government chose nutrition over cost.

C. Some children liked brassicas provided in the school.

D. The nutrition of school meals can hardly meet students' needs.

35. What is the author's attitude towards the debates over free school meals?

A. Endless.   B. Essential.   C. Worthless.   D. Influential.

Does speaking on the phone make you nervous?

Speaking with people on the phone is becoming rare these days. Many people prefer to use email or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a phone call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be an unpleasant experience for some people. __36__ If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of them who suffer from telephobia-the fear of speaking on the phone.

Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, even people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face to face, we give off lots of facial cues（暗示）that help each other follow the conversation. __37__ Very often the idea of speaking on the phone makes some people so frightened that they will freeze up or lose control of the conversation. However, there are things that they can do to ease this fear.

One thing that those with telephobia can do before making a call is smile. __38__ It won't get rid of the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it. Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. __39__ That will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems.

__40__ Well, you don't always have to pick up the phone. There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable. So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember-speaking on the phone doesn't have to make you nervous. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.

A. This is not the case over the phone.

B. Their hearts may race at the very thought.

C. What are the basic rules of making phone calls?

D. Just run through a positive conversation in your head.

E. What should you do when you're faced with receiving a call?

F. It may sound silly, but smiling can help you feel more relaxed.

G. Remember to smile politely when you are introduced to someone.

__58__ sustained effort is easier when we are passionate （充满激情的）about what we do. When we __59__ our work on a sense of purpose and meaning, we are better prepared to use the passion and the persistence to __60__ the great results we are capable of achieving. How can you find meaning in your work?
