21、Born on the 24th of June, 1987, Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini is a world-famous professional football player who played for Barcelona FC and is also the captain of the Argentine National Team. Messi is often believed to be one of the best footballers playing today and he won the 2022 World Cup title with Argentina last year.

Messi was not born in a well-off family. His father was a worker in a steel factory and his mother worked part time as a cleaner. Messi had been fascinated by the sport at a very early age and joined his first club at the age of five. Unfortunately, at the age of eleven, Messi was diagnosed with having a deficiency of growth hormones（生长激素缺乏症）and his treatment to overcome the situation would require about $900 a month. While many local clubs and teams had shown a lot of interest in Messi, nobody was willing to shell out the expenses for his treatment.

However, this young boy had already managed to raise a number of eyebrows with his perfect skills and his immense talent with the ball. His strength and determination shone through on the field and he was noticed by the sporting director of Barcelona FC,   who offered him a contract on a paper napkin to join the club. He also assured him that if he moved to Spain in order to pursue a football career, the club would pay for all his medical expenses. Messi accepted the contract and moved on to Spain. Ever since that incident, Messi has gained a lot of love from football fans all over the world.

Even after becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport, Messi has not forgotten the difficult times. Consequently, in 2007,he established the Leo Messi Foundation which is to provide healthcare and also education to poor and vulnerable（脆弱的）children. Messi is surely a very inspirational figure who has made it big on the basis of his determination and skill and has combatted a difficult past to come out on top.

22、   Despite living in it, we hardly know exactly how big the Milky Way is. But new research has provided us with an answer. Using a large survey of stars instead of just models (as previous researchers did), astronomers have now determined the disk of our galaxy to be 200,000 light years across twice as large as was believed a decade ago.

Astronomers know the Milky Way to be a spiral (螺旋状的) galaxy with a flat central disk composed of spiraling arms and a thin outer cloud of stars called the halo ( 光 晕 ). Most of the stars are found in the disk, which rapidly thins out at the edges. The size of the galaxy is measured from the point at which the number of stars in the disk significantly drops, so finding disk stars is key to determining the Milky Way’s size.

Coincidentally, disk stars tend to be much younger than the halo stars. Since stars gradually build up elements over generations, the disk stars’ composition can be different from that of the halo stars, allowing astronomers to figure out which stars belong to which population.

With a process known as spectroscopy ( 光 谱 学 ), researchers studied the chemical composition of over 4,600 stars from two surveys, and mapped out which stars are part of the disk and which belong to the halo. The results clearly show disk stars much farther from the center of the galaxy than before.

The researchers still believe the density of stars in the disk gets lower in an exponential ( 指数的) manner— just farther away from each other than previously thought. Although the galaxy has been supersized, it is still smaller than its neighbor Andromeda, which measures over 220,000 light years across. While our galaxy is looking larger, it ’ s not putting on much weight. Because the outer reaches are much less dense than the center of the galaxy, the additional area is only thinly populated with stars. These few extra stars are only a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the galaxy, so overall the mass of the Milky Way remains largely unchanged.

【1】What has new research found about the Milky Way?

A.It's hard to know its size.

B.It can be measured by using models.

C.It has grown much larger than before.

D.It’s much larger than previously thought.

【2】Where is the size of the Milky Way measured?

A.At the end of the halo.

B.At the edge of the disk.

C.At the start of the disk stars.

D.At the point of the spiraling arms.

【3】How can researchers distinguish disk from halo stars?

A.By studying their chemical composition.

B.By measuring their distance to the sun.

C.By measuring their weight.

D.By comparing their size.

【4】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.

A.the speed of the stars’ moving

B.the weight of the stars in total

C.the number of stars in an area

D.the size of the Milky Way

【5】What can we infer about the stars in the Milky Way?

A.They are unevenly distributed.

B.They are heavier than previously predicted.

C.They make the Milky Way larger than others.

D.They mainly stay in the outer ranges of the disk.

23、   Wildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state, burning homes and forcing more than 200,000 people to leave their homes. Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires. Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock, risking their lives to save others, although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air.

But it's not just humans in danger’s path. A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral. The public was touched by the horse's heroic act and shared their thoughts on the Internet.

Volunteers were rescuing several horses from the wildfire when one of the horses jumped away from the group. They were trying to help the horse, but he refused. They probably had no idea what was wrong with the horse, who just started running away from them. The horse raced back into danger to lead his family to safety, despite rescuers' best efforts to stop him. He knew he couldn't leave them behind. As the tension increased, several human strangers jumped in to help the animals — they went back to the burning barn where some of the horses remained.

You can watch the horse run back into the smoke-filled area, reconnect with the horses inside the fence, and quickly accompany them out of the fenced-off area. Though it's not clear from the video, CBS Los Angeles reported that all but one of the horses involved were saved. Disastrous as the California wildfires have been, the video and countless other rescue stories — humans and animals alike — are shining light on all acts of goodness taking place.

【1】What does the author intend to show by telling the wildfires in detail in Para. 1?

A.What caused the big wildfires. B.How serious the wildfires were.

C.What rescuers did in the wildfires. D.How rapidly the wildfires spread.

【2】What does the underlined phrases 'went viral' mean?

A.Turned bad. B.Got attacked.

C.Became interesting. D.Grew popular.

【3】Which words can best describe the horse?

A.Loyal but stubborn. B.Caring and courageous.

C.Responsible and clever. D.Flexible but aggressive.

【4】What message does the author want to convey?

A.Fighting disasters needs joint efforts. B.Animals are always friends of man.

C.All good deeds deserve to be praised. D.Animals show goodness to each other.

24、   The world is too big to take in all at once. To make sense and beauty of it, you have to look at a small part at a time.

In using a camera, you choose a small part through he view finder. You move the camera, “framing” pictures until you see one that pleases you. Then-click! If you make a good choice, your picture will please others, as well as yourself.

“Wherever you are,” says photographer Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.” His photograph of a twist of barbed wire shows what he means.

Mr. Haas tells us of ways to practice seeing. Make a simple frame of black cardboard. Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large or small, far away or near.

At first you may see nothing to interest you. But soon pictures seem to leap (跳) at you through the frame. Oil floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.

Did you notice such things before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everywhere, shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by making a drawing or a painting.

Sometimes it’s fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have you looked deep inside a lily? Or seen the starburst in the center of a wet ice cube?

Do you see colors as they really are? When you paint tree trunks, you would make them brown or black. But tree trunks are really gray, purple, yellow-green—almost any color except brown or black!

Do you notice detail? Doing so can be in many ways. Remembering what you see is often useful, too. Practice can help you.

A trick for helping you to remember detail is the double take. Look—don’t look—then look again.

【1】What does the underlined word “trick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. joke B. magic

C. habit D. skill

【2】What does the author want to tell us?

A. The better you learn to see, the more alive you are.

B. Walking in the country, you should look closely at the trunks.

C. A branch with a few leaves fills the frame with a beautiful design.

D. Close your eyes and try to remember how it looks.

【3】Which of the fallowing is true according to the text?

A. When you paint trees, you would make them gray.

B. Glance at a bill and you remember how it looked.

C. Seeing is one way of living.

D. Give a second look and you remember all the detail.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. The world is too big to travel around.

B. Look around—and see!

C. Wherever you are, a camera is important.

D. A good way to see is to carry a camera
