Eeva Simons shows us that a physical disability doesn’t necessarily bar one from dancing on the stage. With skillful handling, she can make her wheelchair do graceful moves and win applause worldwide. The 34-year-old is among a group of four Finnish performers with different physical disabilities.
Simons has been bound to a wheelchair since jumping from a roof in a suicide attempt that ended her dancing career 16 years ago. She said that for a long time she had been depressed, with no idea how to adapt to her changed conditions. “The incident had a big effect on me,” she said.“I had never thought what it would be like to be a wheelchair user. It was difficult.”
But positive changes came several years later when she met a group of disabled people at a community centre. Their interest in alternative ways of movement lighted her love for dance and life again.
Simons joined the PAA troupe, which experimented with new approaches to performing. In 2000, the group put on their first show. Although many professional dance moves are not possible, the show has been running more than 10 c ountries in Europe and won the “Theatre Event of the Year 2000” award in Finland.
Simons said her part required the upper part of her body to be strong, especially her arms, which had to perform everything from hand gestures to powering the wheelchair. “It is a challenge. We use our creativity to think of alternative ways to find beauty,” she said.
In one moving scene about her post-accident mental condition, the frustrated Simons sits on the floor, before crawling to a wheelchair and accepting her new tool. Director Paasonen said the dancers were sharing their life experiences, feelings, states and thoughts with audience and that the show was very personal.
“They are people with bodies that have stories to tell,” he said. “The show is about transformation, and how people deal with change, including how to deal with the transformation of our own body after it becomes disabled.”
24. The underlined word “bar” in the first paragraph means ________.
A. save
B. protect
C. encourage
D. prevent
25. From the passage we can infer that Eeva Simons _________.
A. became disabled accidentally.
B. once lost her hope for life.
C. learned how to dance after the incident.
D. wanted to kill herself to end her dancing career.
26. What can we learn about the performers in the PPA troupe?
A. They are creative dancers.
B. Most of them are young.
C. They are able to do all professional dance moves.
D. They are discouraged by their disability.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. A Special Troupe.
B. Disabled Dancers.
C. New Approaches to Dancing.
D. A Wonder in a Wheelchair.
C
Every now and then you may hear news of satellites sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company SpaceX took 46 satellites into orbit. On Feb 27, China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites? What do they do for us?
At present, there are more than 3,000 active satellites moving around the Earth. They have all kinds of roles, from transmitting TV signals, giving you directions on the road, to helping scientists with their research. For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统). Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips can provide more accurate positioning, making them easier to find. Drones can also use BeiDou while flying.
Before satellites, TV signals didn’t reach very far. Mountains or tall buildings would block the signals. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. Setting up telephone wires over long distances is
difficult. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different locations on Earth. SpaceX’s Starlink project is trying to go further. It plans to use satellites to provide people with internet all over the globe.
Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in weather and climate. By monitoring wildfires and volcanoes, satellites help emergency workers deal with natural disasters. Farmers can use satellite images to decide the best time to water their fields.
Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of Saturn’s rings. In 2020, video website Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.
28.Why are satellites the US and China have sent to space mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
A. To show which country has the most satellites.
B. To compare the two countries’ satellite developments.
C. To prove the popularity of satellites in space.
D. To lead up to the topic of the functions of satellites.
29. The satellites for the BeiDou system can help _____.
A. shared bikes work longer
B. drones fly farther
C. locate things more accurately
D. provide people with internet
30. Why did Bilibili send a satellite into space?
A. To control its drones with BeiDou chips.
B. To provide its users with data of other planets.
C. To contribute to the search for signs of life on Mars.
D. To inform the emergency staff of natural disasters.
31. The passage might show up in a _________.
A. travel guidebook.
B. science newspaper.
C. historical book.
D. sports magazine.
D
I’m the homebody and my husband is the adventurous one.
“Where do you want to go after Omicron?” Roger asked, iPad in hand.
“How about a resort town only two hours’ drive away?”
I could tell by the look on Roger’s face that he was researching destinations maybe a bit further from home.
I don’t hate travel. What I dislike about travel is being a tourist, that awful creature trampling around the columns of the Parthenon, wearing down the stone steps of Angkor Wat and complaining that the coral reefs are not as colorful as the photographs on Trip Advisor.
The guides I meet worldwide are kind. They study tourism in university. They are knowledgeable about history and culture. They would take us by the arm to get us across busy streets as if we were naive children. But depending on someone else so far away from home gives a feeling of insecurity.
Traveling contributes to more serious plastic pollution. No recycling program can keep up with the crest of plastic on every wave. Don’t feel bad, people ass ured me, it can boost the local economy, since many countries depend on tourist dollars.
When receiving a massage (按摩) in Thailand, I was asked how much my bathing suit cost. “Eighty Canadian dollars.” I gave her $6, plus a tip, for a 90-minute massage. In Canada, she would get more than the price of my bathing suit for the same labor. I am increasingly uncomfortable with the inequity.
COVID-19 proved to be the worst tourist ever. It made a mess and refused to pay its bill. During the weeks and months before the vaccines (疫苗), when planes were grounded and ocean liners were docked, the planet took a deep breath. I am encouraged by conversations with travelers who are sharing better ways of exploring this planet. When we travel once again, there will be a better understanding for humans who have suffered great losses.
32.What do we know about the author according to the passage ?
A. She enjoys spending time at home.
B. She prefers destinations far away from home.
C. She dislikes traveling with other people.
D. She always holds ideas different from her husband’s.
33.Which is a factor that prevents the author from being a tourist?
A. Meeting different types of strangers.
B. The insecurity from having to rely on the guides.
C. The high cost of traveling.
D. The danger of being infected with COVID-19.
34.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning her Thai massage experience?
A. To introduce the popularity of Thai massages.
B. To prove tourism boosts the local economy.
C. To show how inequality made her feel bad about traveling.
D. To point out Thailand’s serious plastic pollution.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. COVID-19 hit the global tourist industry hard.
B. The world is recovering from COVID-19.
C. It’s risky to travel during the pandemic.
D. It’s time to explore better ways to travel.

Kids and Food: Advice for Parents
It is important for parents to know how to help their kids eat healthily. Here are a few easy ways:
Parents control the supply lines.
36 Though kids may keep asking for less nutritious foods, parents should decide which foods are regularly provided in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the fr idge at home.
Say goodbye to the “clean-plate club”.
37 Lots of parents grew up under the clean-plate rule, but that
way doesn’t help kids listen to their own bodies when they are full. When kids feel full, they are less likely to overeat.
38
Food preferences are developed early in life. Likes and dislikes begin forming even when kids are babies. So parents need to serve new food on different occasions for a child to accept it, which should be started when he is young.
Food is not love.
Find better ways to say “I love you.” When foods are used to reward kids and show love, they may start to turn to food when feeling worried or unhappy. 39
Kids do as you do.
40 When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example. Choose nutritious foods, eat at the table, and don’t forget breakfasts.
A.Rewrite the kids’ menu.
B.Start them young.
C.You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them.
D.Let kids choose what to eat and how much they want.
E.Be a role model and eat healthily yourself.
F.Let kids stop eating when they feel they’ve had enough.
G.Offer praise and attention instead of food treats.

Water is fundamental to the development of life. When the earth exploded, carbon, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases were produced.
61 is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear. It is widely believed that the presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve 62 (harm) gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, making 63 possible for life to develop.
First, small plants began to appear 64 the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, 65 encouraged the later development of shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, plants began to grow on land, 66 (follow) in time by land animals. Later, when the plants grew into forests, reptiles like dinosaurs appeared. But the sudden 67 (disappear) of dinosaurs made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. Finally, some small clever animals spread all over the earth. They 68 (become) the most important animals on the planet so far, but they are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot 69 (live) on. So whether life will continue on the earth will depend on whether this problem can
70 (solve).

作文范文：
Dear Wang Ming,
I’m sorry to hear that you have fallen ill since you are concerned that the pandemic may affect your study.
As far as I’m aware, there is no need to worry too much if classroom teaching is really suspended due to the pandemic. On the one hand, in that case, your school will provide online courses, whereby you can
study at home online. On the other hand, as you are on the same boat with your classmates, it serves as a test of self-discipline, which helps you learn to study alone with the absence of peers’ pressure and teachers’ supervision. You may as well take this chance to outperform others. Hope you lighten up and get well soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Text 10
When I was eight years old, one day, my father took my brother and me on a picnic beside a river. When we arrived there, my father told us the river was very dangerous. He made us promise not to walk up to it. But I was too curious about it. I thought there must be kinds of fish in the river. So I did not keep my promise. I walked into the river and saw many fish. When I wanted to catch a fish, I fell down. Because the river was very deep, I could not stand or touch the bottom. I cried out loudly,
but nobody was there, except my brother Danny. My father had gone to search for some wood. Danny was very scared. He didn’t know what he could do, because he was two years younger than me. He jumped in, but that just made the situation worse, because he was even shorter than me and he couldn’t sw im. Both of us cried out. Fortunately, there was a farmer who passed by. He saved us before our father came back.。
