Most people would tremble at the idea of getting caught up in a 73. 5-foot wave. But for Brazilian pro-surfer Maya, it presented the perfect opportunity to break her 2018 world record for the largest wave surfed by a female. The athlete skillfully maneuvered（操控）the massive wave at the World Surf League （WSL） Nazare Tow Surfing Challenge in Praia do Norte, Portugal, where she established her first world record by riding a 68-foot wave.

“When I let go of the rope, I had a feeling it could be the one but wasn't sure. The speed was very high, but the noise that the wave made when it broke made me realize that this was probably the biggest wave I'd ever ridden.

Her record, earning her WSL's 2020 women's Biggest Wave Award, was two feet higher than Dupont5s wave, who had ridden the largest wave. It was also 3. 5 feet higher than the 70-foot wave ridden by the 2020 men's Biggest Wave Award winner Kai Lenny!

“Our sport is very male-dominated, with the performances on the male side being often much stronger than ours as females,"  she said. “This year, a woman did surf the biggest, tallest wave of the year. It opens the idea that in other categories and other areas of surfing, this could be accomplished, too.”

Though Maya, who has been surfing competitively since she was 15, seemed to effortlessly move over the monster surf, it has not all been smooth sailing. Her first attempt at pursuing the world's biggest wave in Nazare, Portugal, in 2013 could have ended her career. The surfer suffered a disastrous wipeout that broke her ankle and almost caused her to drown. However, it did not reduce her determination to create her record as one of the world's greatest surfers!

24. What was Maya's result in WSL Nazare Tow Surfing Challenge in 2018?

A. 71.5 feet. B. 68 feet. C. 70 feet. D. 73.5 feet.

25. What made Maya believe she was riding the biggest wave?

A. The noise of the wave. B. The speed of the wave.

C. The size of the wave. D. The height of the wave.

26. What did Maya think of her achievement?

A. It reflected people's idea about surfing.

B. It represented the highest level of surfers.

C. It proved the ability of female surfers.

D. It indicated the domination of males.

27. What led to Maya's achievement?

A. Her strong will. B. Her talent.

C. Her attempt. D. Her frustration.

C

Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake.

But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile! Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile. " When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockaligam's prescription to smile more.

Disorders of the heart and blood vessels are the number one cause of death around the world. The main cause of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. When you feel stressed, your body releases many natural hormones（荷尔蒙）including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight — or — flight response. However, when we have stressed for a long period, some stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.

Dr. Chockalingam says： "Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish-smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.

28. What does the underlined word “altered” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Changed. B. Destroyed.

C. Injured. D. Blocked.

29. How is the 3rd paragraph organized?

A. By showing the order of events.

B. By giving cause and effect.

C. By giving examples.

D. By making comparisons.

30. What does the writer think of smiling 20 times an hour?

A. It is too much. B. It sounds foolish.

C. It is demanding. D. It is worth a try.

31. Which of the following might be the best title?

A. Laughter is the best medicine

B. Smile is a universal language

C. Every heart has its own sorrow

D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart

D

A large supply of acorns （橡实）on the ground last winter provided food for chipmunks（花栗鼠）across New England in the northeastern US as spring returned. Acorns and other nuts are a main part of the animals' diet. They also eat insects, berries, and other kinds of fruit. The substantial food supply kept chipmunks well fed as they got busy reproducing and having families this spring. Now, the growth in the chipmunk population is so noticeable, with people saying the animals are driving them nuts.

Shevenell Webb, a biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW), said： "While chipmunks are often entertaining, they can be a bother." The animals dig through the ground, making holes and passageways. This can lead to the destruction of grass, flowers and other plant life. Chipmunks can be “cute” and "fun to watch in the forest” as they move in and out of holes like playful children, "When their mouths aren't full of nuts, chipmunks make an interesting chip sound,“ Webb said.

Steven Parren is a wildlife program official with the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. He said he couldn't grow flowers with chipmunks digging them up. “They don't even cease," he said. There were so many acorns in one area that there was no way the animals could have put them all away for winter. In addition to chipmunks, he is also seeing more squirrels, rabbits and mice this year.

Experts note while small animal populations can sometimes explode, they usually return to normal. Chipmunks can be food for other creatures. They are easy targets for owls, snakes and foxes. But even if they survive such attacks, Webb said individual chipmunks usually only live about three years. Many New Englanders remember a similar rise in the area's squirrel population in 2018. Webb said that increase led to a lot of roadkill. "We've never seen anything like that. That was a once — in — a — lifetime event. ”

32. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph suggest?

A. Americans start to pick up nuts as food.

B. Chipmunks are making people annoyed.

C. Chipmunks' favorite food is some kinds of nuts.

D. Many resources are destroyed by chipmunks.

33. Which of the following best describes chipmunks?

A. Hateful and noisy. B. Numerous and aggressive.

C. Adorable but troublesome. D. Amusing but endangered.

34. What can we infer about the chipmunk population from the last paragraph?

A. It will return to normal soon.

B. There will be a slight increase.

C. It'll affect other animals' population.

D. There's no need to worry too much.

35. What is the text mainly about?

A. Plentiful food causes considerable chipmunks in the US.

B. Chipmunks have been part of American life.

C. Numbers of various animals have been rising.

D. Time to live in harmony with wild animals comes.

Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees" and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged （淹没）much of the famous historical city.

While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 36   The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber（会议厅）flooded.

Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable （脆弱的） areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 37   Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.

38   Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem.

Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 39    And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world's great archaeological sites.

Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 40  

A. Different ways can be used to save these sites.

B. Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.

C. It is the damage from climate change to the world's heritage.

D. But putting in place protective measures has proven difficult.

E. Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef.

F. Many heritage sites on land are facing the great threat posed by global warming.

G. Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

"Happy birthday, dear happy birthday to you!" Silence penetrated （穿透）the room.

“Make a wish! ” my mom said in a sweet whisper. Now, I'm a straight A student, confident and popular, but that's not what I was a year ago. It was my mom's love that made me what I am today. Looking around the room filled with my friends, I couldn't help but smile.

I wish...

Memories flooded back. The December morning breeze brushed my long, black hair as I stepped towards the doors of Hagenberg High. It was my first day of school. Only two weeks ago, my mom and I migrated to America, hoping for a bright new life.

My English was poor, and I was alone, like a lost little kid. I unknowingly avoided interacting with anyone because I was afraid they'd laugh in my face. When my English was better, I decided, I would come up to people and maybe manage to say, "What's up?”

Finally in gym class, a friendly brown face. She almost looked like me, only happier. Her name was Caroline. At lunchtime we found ourselves enjoying the cafeteria food. She wanted me to meet her friends. "Don't worry, Rhea," she assured me, calling me “sister"， “You'll fit right in.

And 1 did. It was as if some foreign soul entered my body and made me do things against my will. I found myself drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and skipping school. I didn't even like the taste of beer. The moment it touched my tongue I felt like I had to spit it back. But I didn't. I couldn't afford to look bad and lose my new “friends”. I began to miss at least one day of school a week to hang out with them. Then I missed two, three, even four days in a row.

But while I was out having fun with my “friends”，  inside I was full of conflict, unhappiness and regret. I stopped practicing my English sentences in front of the mirror and instead practiced, "I don't know why the school called Mom. There must be something wrong in the system because I did not miss school today. ”
