• 1．Adrian's "Amazing Race" started early，when his parents realize that he，as a baby，couldn't hear a thing，not even loud noises．In a special school for the hearing-impaired （聽覺受損的），he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children．However，the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother．She wanted him to lead a normal life．So after speaking to an advisor，she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words．
     Later on，Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school．But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so，saying regular schools couldn't take care of a special-needs student．His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that，given the opportunity，he could do anything．Adrian made the grade and got accepted．It was a big challenge the pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher，which wasn't always easy．But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school．
     The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off．Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school．He also achieved a lot in life outside school．He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains．He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06-being the first hearing- impaired Asian to do so．

• 2．It had been a long，hard，wonderful day.The two of us had walked from the sea's edge through the length of a beautiful valley，climbed a superb mountain，travelled its narrow，rocky ridge（山脊），and now stood on its final peak（頂點(diǎn)），tired，happy and looking for the perfect campsite.
     The experienced backpacker has a natural feeling for such things，and our eyes were drawn to a small blue circle on the map.We could not see it from where we were，but we followed our judgement and went down steeply until it came into view.
     We were right.It was a calm pool，with flat grass beside it.Gently taking our packs off，we made the first of many cups of tea before putting up our tent.Later that evening，over another cup of tea and after a good meal，we sat outside the tent watching the sun set over a sea dotted with islands，towards one of which a ferry was slowly moving.It is not always so perfect，of course.On another trip，with a different companion，a thoroughly wet day had ended at a lonely farm.Depressed at the thought of camping，we had knocked and asked if we could use a barn（谷倉(cāng)）as a shelter.
     Backpacking could be defined us the art of comfortable，self-sufficient（自給自足的） travel on foot.Everything you need is in the pack on your back，and you become emotionally as well as physically attached to it.I once left my pack hidden in some rocks while I made a long trip to a peak I particularly wanted to climb.I was away for nearly three hours and ended up running the last stretch in fear that my precious pack would not be there.It was，of course.
     The speed at which the backpacker travels makes this the perfect way to see any country.You experience the landscape as a slow unfolding scene，almost in the way it was made；and you find time to stop and talk to people you meet.I've learned much local history from simply chatting to people I met while walking through an area.At the end of a trip，whether three days or three weeks，there's a feeling of achievement，of having got somewhere under your own power.
  
  （1）The author and his companion knew there was a pool because

  
  A．they had been told about it
  B．they could see it on the map
  C．they had seen it earlier in the day
  D．they could see it from the top of the mountain
  （2）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．The map.
  B．The mountain.
  C．The pool.
  D．Rocky ridge.
  （3）How did the author and his companion feel at the end of the day？

  
  A．They were too tired to put up their tent.
  B．They wished they could have found a farm.
  C．They were anxious about the coming weather.
  D．They were delighted with the spot they had found.
  （4）What does the author mean by being "emotionally as well as physically attached to" his backpack in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．It is more than just a practical aid.
  B．He walks better when he is wearing it.
  C．It is not a good idea to leave it anywhere.
  D．He might die on the mountains without it.
  （5）According to the author，the main advantage of backpacking is that you can

  
  A．get fitter as you walk
  B．make new friends while walking
  C．find out how the landscape was made
  D．gain an understanding of the area you walk through

• 3．Robotic surgery is one thing，but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another，which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut.jye.ai possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
     However，unlike the plot of one film- which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist's bloodstream- this device could not be inserted into blood vessels because it is too big.While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past，their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body.In a presentation this week to the International Conference，Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
     To test their latest version，Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter.jye.ai seem to be an odd task，but more than 3.500 people in America，children，swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year.To start with，the researchers created an artificial esophagus （食道） and stomach made out of silicone（硅膠）.It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid；the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials.，including pig intestine（腸），and contains a little up and encased in a capsule of ice.Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body.In their tests，the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with 5 and during dragging it along，the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus（肛門）.After it.jye.ai researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.
     The artificial stomach being transparent（透明） on one side，the researchers were able to see burn to speed up healing.jye.ai batteries and visually control the robots.If not，that will require the help from imaging system，which will be a bit more of challenge，but Dr.Rus and Dr.Miyashita are letermined to succeed.
  
  （1）The robot described by Dr.Rus and Dr.Miyashita is a breakthrough in that

  .
  A．they can capture images inside the body
  B．they can travel through the body to make repairs without a single cut
  C．they can be swallowed and collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in
  D．they can be inserted into blood vessels
  （2）According to Paragraph 3，which statement about the experiment is NOT true？

  
  A．It's an odd task to design the robot as a battery hunter.
  B．The experiment use artificial and.
  C．The actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice.
  D．After the battery is removed，another robot will be needed to speed up heeling.
  （3）What benefits may the experiment bring to medical world？

  
  A．Few children will swallow the button cells.
  B．Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.
  C．Patients will no longer go through any operation.
  D．The surgeries will cost patients much money.
  （4）How do Dr.Rus and Dr.Miyashita see the or aspect of their robot？

  
  A．It's challenging but promising.
  B．It's challenging but successful.
  C．It's certain and successful.
  D．It's uncertain and hopeless.
  （5）Which can be the most suitable title for the passage？

  
  A．The Robotic Voyage in Body.
  B．An Exploration of Robot.
  C．The Robotic Operation.
  D．An Experiment on Robot.

• 4．"A ship in harbor is safe，but that is not what ships are built for，" said John A.Shedd，an early 20th century author.Throughout' the Covid-19，we've all become used to assessing risk in new ways.We've come to understand，though we can never get rid of risk altogether，we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves.（1）

  It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.
     Developmental psychologists talk about "positive risks" — socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from.（2）

  But what about those，who develop into adults？Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time，including ways that are adventurous，new and even-like hiking or other outdoor activities — mildly risky.
     One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the "safe" side of risk range.For example，to ensure a successful bike ride，you should in advance equip yourself with a fully-charged cell phone and a full water bottle.（3）

  Or if you are，concerned about your physical capacity，consult a certified trainer or medical professional before departure.
     （4）

  This means adapting to changing situations.In response to the deadly virus，people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccjye.aiated.In this way，people could be confident that the risk is tolerable.
     Nobody wants to be needlessly risky.But using our newly-acquired risk assessment tools，we can once again learn and grow in our lives.（5）

  
  
  A.Take risks in a positive way.
  B.But the self- protective mind state carries its own risk.
  C.Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risk-taking.
  D.Remember to tell one of your friends or family your destination.
  E.Besides taking preventive steps，flexible thinking is also encouraged.
  F.Like a ship sailing away from its harbor，that is what we were built to do.
  G.For teenagers，this means risks like running for monitor or trying out for a team.

• 23．Kathy's family vacation to the beach was usually the highlight of her summer.This year，however，her parents announced a new rule：no phones for the entire week.
      "But my friends will be expecting updates about the trip，" Kathy complained.Kathy's mom gave her a serious look.Unwillingly，Kathy handed her phone over and her mom locked it away.
      The drive to the beach house took most of the day.As they turned off the highway onto country back roads，the clouds darkened.Rain started to pour."Even more beautiful in the rain，" her mother said. "What do you think，Kathy？"Kathy glared at her mom. "Beautiful，" she muttered.
      That night after dinner，Kathy wandered into the kitchen，where her father was washing dijye.ais.She gave her father a loving look and said in her sweetest voice，"Couldn't I have my phone back，just for one second？Just so I can tell everyone what an amazing time I'm having？"
      "Can't，" he said. "It's not here.Remember？" Kathy was very annoyed.Having nothing better to do，she examined the dusty bookcase in the living room.The books looked as dull as the weather.On the top shelf，however，she spotted a puzzle.She took it，emptied the pieces on the table，and began to sort them.
      After what seemed like a few minutes，she looked up.It was past ten o'clock.She had been working for almost two hours!She yawned.The puzzle was less than half done，but she was exhausted.So，she went to bed.
      When Kathy awoke the next morning，she jumped out of bed and threw open the curtains.A blazing sun was rising over the blue ocean.The sky was cloudless.The scene reminded Kathy of a photo that her friend Betty had recently sent her.
      This view was even better.It would leave everyone speechless.Kathy dashed to her bedside table and reached for her phone.But there was nothing there.She sighed.Still，she wandered in front of the window，admiring the sunrise.
