• 2．The next time you find an excuse to abandon your ambition，think of Chris Nikic.On November 7，2020，21-year-old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to attempt and complete an Ironman.Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation，it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles，bike 112 miles，and run a full 26.2-mile marathon-in under 17 hours!
     The event，which took place in Panama City，F(xiàn)lorida，began early in the morning with a two-lap swim in the Gulf of Mexico.Chris，who was tied to his coach for safety，completed the course well within 2 hour，20-minute time limit.
     The 112-mile bike ride，which Chris rode alone，proved a little more challenging.Not accustomed to drinking water while riding，he was forced to make multiple sjye.aips.To make matters worse，the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break.He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill.Despite these setbacks，Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5：30 pm cut-off time.
     The competition's final challenge-a two-lap 26.2-mile run along the waterfront-started smoothly.However，Chris was tired out by the tenth mile.But，with encouragement from his coach and cheering bystanders，the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours，46 minutes，and 9 seconds-almost 15 minutes under the 17-hour time limit.
     Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges.Born with two holes in his heart，he underwent surgery at just five months old.He was too weak to walk independently until he was four.Due to his Down Syndrome，every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the possibilities.
     To Chris，this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory.It's about being an example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.
  
  （1）What does the underlined part "an Ironman" in Paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．A competition.
  B．An organization.
  C．A person.
  D．An artwork.
  （2）Which of the following best describes Chris's bike ride experience？

  
  A．Romantic.
  B．Eventful.
  C．Pleasant.
  D．Smooth.
  （3）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5？

  
  A．Stimulate readers' interest.
  B．Introduce a new topic.
  C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
  D．Add some background information.
  （4）What can we learn from Chris's story？

  
  A．Winning is everything.
  B．No dream is unachievable.
  C．Life is full of choices.
  D．Misfortune is a barrier to success.

• 3．Next time you go on holiday，it's going to feel pretty different.You may have to wear a face mask.And that means getting your point across in an unfamiliar language-all while keeping your mouth covered-could become a bit of a problem.
     That's where the C-mask，by Japanese company Donut Robotics，comes in.It's a smart，Internet-connected mouth covering that can make calls，raise the wearer's voice，and most helpfully for travelers，translate conversations into eight different languages.
     You simply place it over a standard face mask and connect it via Bluetooth to a smartphone.A special app will then allow you to record live conversations，turn them into text and translate them into English，Chinese，F(xiàn)rench，Korean，Thai，Indonesian，Spanish or Vietnamese （currently only from Japanese）-making it easy to understand what people are saying.It won't actually speak the translated phrases for you，but it does have a built-in amplifier （擴(kuò)音器） to help you make yourself heard.
     "We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used what we've researched to create a product that responds to how COVID-19 has reshaped society，" Donut's CEO recently told reporters.The firm has already raised more than 28 million yen via crowdfunding to develop the product，which will go on sale for 3，980 yen in Japan.
     There are all manner of fashionable，eco-friendly masks you can now get your hands on-check out these in London，Singapore and Barcelona.But in creating an affordable，high-tech mask，Donut could well be on to something.
  
  （1）The C-mask is developed to

  .
  A．seek fashion.
  B．reshape society.
  C．replace cellphones.
  D．promote communication.
  （2）What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？

  
  A．How the C-mask speaks.
  B．How the C-mask works.
  C．What advantages the C-mask brings.
  D．What languages the C-mask translates.
  （3）What does the underlined phrase "be on to something" in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．take a look
  B．earn a living
  C．make a difference
  D．issue a warning
  （4）In which column of a website do we probably read this text？

      In the beautiful city of San Francisco， it was spring. The flowers were blooming， the sun was shining， and the birds were singing their beautiful song. In a nearby basketball stadium， there was a basketball championship going on. Jesse like his elder brother Timmy was one of the best in the competition；he scored most of his team's points， but his team did not like that. Jesse never passed the ball. His coach always told him that it was a team game and not a one-man show.
      "Jesse， pass the ball more，" insisted Coach Tyler.
      "Coach， I am good； I can win this whole tournament by myself if I want to，" responded Jesse. "Jesse， you need to learn to respect the game!" said Coach Tyler.
      "I don't need to respect anything，" said Jesse.
      "Okay then， and I don't need you in my team， Jesse. Get out of here!" said Coach Tyler. "Fine!" replied Jesse angrily.
      At school Jesse's friends Zack， Christopher， and Aaron were trying to calm down Jesse， who was still angry about what happened the previous day. Jesse was usually good in school，but after he was kicked out of the team， his attitude changed. He started doing poorly； he got in trouble and failed classes. Jesse tried to join other basketball teams， but he could not because their list was filled or he was too young or too old. Finally， Jesse was recommended a team by Zack.
      Five months later…
      Jesse started passing the ball more，and he still averaged 26.4 points per game. Jesse enjoyed how he played， but he did not like that he was coining off the bench（替補(bǔ)）. Jesse proved that he was a star on the court， but still the coach said that he was better coming off the bench. "Coach， I think I have showed that I can start next game，" said Jesse calmly. "No， Jesse， you are not good enough，" responded the coach. "But…" said Jesse before the coach interrupted him. "No，Jesse!" Jesse started getting mad. "Coach，you need to start me. I'm the best in this team，" said Jesse arrogantly，"Jesse，how about you just leave？" shouted the coach.
  Paragraph 1：
      Jesse left. He became quite mad while going home. __________.
  Paragraph 2：
      Jesse went back to the stadium.__________.
