26、How the 2022 World Cup Works

The World Cup is nearly here. The schedule is complete. The leagues have stopped. The players have arrived. Yet even as the teams know where they are meant to be and who they are meant to play, there are still plenty of questions about how things will unfold as soccer moves center stage over the month in Qatar. 【1】

Where is it being held?

This year’s host is Qatar, which in 2010 beat the United States and Japan to win the right to hold the tournament. Whether that was an honest competition remains in dispute. 【2】 The World Cup has never been held on the Arabian Peninsula before.

When is it?

The tournament will open on Nov.20, when Qatar plays Ecuador. That counts as a slow day; over the two weeks that follow, four games will be played on most days. 【3】 when the winner gets a very heavy (and surprisingly small) gold trophy.

【4】

No. The World Cup usually takes place in July or it did, until Qatar won the right to host it. Considering the fact that its temperatures can reach 120 degrees (48.8℃), FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, agreed to move the tournament to the relatively bearable months of November and December.

Qatar is so small. How can it accommodate all these matches?

【5】 At 4,416 square miles, it is 0.12 percent of the size of the United States and by far the smallest nation ever to host the World Cup. All the games will take place in a tight circle of eight stadiums in and around the capital, Doha, making it the smallest-sized World Cup in history.

A．That is unusual.

B．Here’s a primer (入门指南).

C．It is true that Qatar is tiny.

D．Why is it being held in winter?

E．Is a winter World Cup normal?

F．The tournament ends with the final on Dec.18,

G．It can accommodate 31 teams and an audience of 60,000.

27、Traditional American summer camps offer young people a chance to play many sports. These camps may be in the mountains. 【1】 Some camps teach activities like painting or music. Or they teach computer programming or foreign languages. Children at all kinds of camps meet new friends.

Some children go to camp during the day and return home at night. 【2】 Children stay at an overnight camp for between one and eight weeks. Parents need to pay. Children from poor families might not have a chance to attend summer camps. The Fresh Air Fund is a well-known organization.

【3】 Each summer it sends ten thousand poor children to stay with families in the country or to five camps in New York State.

【4】 Many American women now work outside the home. Working parents need a place where their children can be cared for during the summer when they are not in school.

Young people who like the arts can learn about painting, music, acting or writing. Camps that offer programs in science and environmental studies are popular, too. There are also camps for older children who like wilderness adventure. 【5】 Or, they go rock-climbing or horse-riding.

A．What on are summer camps?

B．Others stay at camps all day and all night.

C．Or they may be in the woods, or at a lake.

D．These campers usually take long trips by bicycle.

E．Summer camps have become important to millions of families.

F．People around the country give money to support the organization.

G．They will probably never realize the significance of participating in summer camps.

28、Breakfast may just be the most important meal of the day, but finding time to search for something to eat in the morning can be a real challenge. In fact, you may skip the trouble altogether, especially if you’re trying to limit your daily calorie intake. However, the result may be worrying, in more ways than one.

Claire Anspach, RD, explained that eating a balanced breakfast not only starts your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also provides calories your body needs in order to be focused and productive. So, how many calories should you be eating each morning? It depends on a number of factors (因素), including your age and activity level. As for breakfast, “it’s hard to say exactly how much one person should eat, but on average, a well-balanced meal should be around 400 to 500 calories,” Anspach said, adding that breakfast is typically one of the biggest meals of the day.

Aminta Bullard, a registered dietitian and weight-loss coach, said something similar like that “calories are not one size fits all”. Bullard noted that people who exercise in the morning may need to add 300 calories to their pre- or post-workout breakfast to help fuel the body. The same can be said for professional athletes, as well as those who have jobs that require a lot of walking, standing, or other forms of movement.

Whatever your calorie requirements, Bullard recommends choosing a breakfast that contains protein (蛋白质) and fiber. “High protein and high fiber keep you energized and satisfied,” Bullard said. That’s opposed to foods that are high in sugar, like donuts, which she said can leave you “feeling sluggish” and cause you to reach for a snack. So, if you find that you’re always desiring a second breakfast, you might want to reevaluate what you’re eating for the first.

【1】What’s the author’s attitude to skipping breakfast?

A．Supportive.

B．Opposed.

C．Casual.

D．Unclear.

【2】Which of the following may Anspach and Bullard both agree with?

A．One should eat as many calories as possible.

B．Age is the decisive factor for the intake of calories.

C．Different people have different demands for calories.

D．The more active one is, the more food should be eaten.

【3】How are paragraphs 2 and 3 developed?

A．By listing data.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By analyzing cause and effect.

D．By offering experts’ opinions.

【4】What does the underlined word “sluggish” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Unenergetic.

B．Comfortable.

C．Unhappy.

D．Sick.

29、Mars on Earth

Devon Island has always been a cold and uninhabited(无人居住的) place in the Canadian Arctic. Day after day there are high winds and the temperature is below freezing. But for the first time, despite the terrible weather conditions, Devon Island is the new home for a group of explorers from NASA. They are living here for a few months in order to train and learn how to live and work on Mars. The group’s members come from various backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have the same purpose: to find out how people can live on Mars in the future.

They have chosen Devon Island because the environment and landscape is similar in many ways to Mars. The surface is freezing cold and the ground is rough. However, there are some differences on Mars, where the atmosphere is poisonous to breathe. Devon Island is easier to travel to and it has its own dangers that you won’t find on Mars. For example, you might meet a hungry polar bear on Devon Island!

One thing the team wants to develop is suitable clothing for Mars. This includes a space suit. The suit they are testing at the moment is strong enough but it’s too difficult to put on and take off. It’s very big and bulky, which means that just walking around is very difficult and tiring. In addition, people will need to do experiments on Mars while wearing the suit so they have to be able to move around easily. One team member, Andy Overbeeke, specializes in space suit engineering. He explains, “You have to think about what they’re really going to operate in.”

Another part of daily life on Mars will be meals and food. Creating a new home on Mars requires a lot of food. So the big question is: can you grow plants in order to survive? Scientists believe that growing plants on Mars might be possible. Mars and Earth have many similarities. They both have about the same amount of dry land and a 24-hour day. However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power.

People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the “Martian Rover”. It’s a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that it’s possible for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds: “We know that it’s man’s destiny to go out and do space exploration. It’s always time to think about what you want to do in the future.”

【1】The explorers are living on Devon Island to ________.

A.receive a training in astronomy

B.set up an advanced research lab

C.learn how to live and work on Mars

D.make a living in an uninhabited land

【2】To keep food supply on Mars, people should ________.

A.create a new home

B.improve the atmosphere

C.build special greenhouses

D.reduce the area of dry land

【3】According to the passage, we know that ________.

A.man may live on Mars in the future

B.Martian Rover has failed to stand the test

C.Mars and Devon Island have the same soil condition

D.scientists have mastered the method to grow plants on Mars

30、On Monday, two groups of boys had a fight at Southwood High School. The following day, two groups of girls ________ where the boys had left off. In just two days, 23 students were taken to the police office.

So when Craig Lee, a business owner and community activist, was told about the ________ gang (帮派) tensions, he ________ Michael La’Fitte, who had a daughter at Southwood. They held a meeting and the ________ in attendance decided to make their ________ known on campus.

But it’s not just cheerful greetings and funny jokes that have ________ Southwood. It’s the Positive Presence Promotion, developed by Dads on Duty, which means getting involved in home lives, engaging in dialogue about gang culture, and, ________ , making sure every kid has an adult they trust to ________ in times of crisis.

The presence of dads is meant to be ________ . One day after school, Dad on Duty Mike Morgan ________ some students wandering outside were waiting for their target of bullying. He found the target and steered (引导) him clear of the area. So to detect such a situation requires dads to be more ________ .

32、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。

One day, a friend of mine and I were walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. When we walked along the beach and shot the bull, we saw a man occupying himself with something in the distance. Curiosity drove us to find out what he was doing.

As we grew nearer, we noticed that the man kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and time again, he kept casting things into the ocean. We felt a little more confused about his odd action. So we decided to approach even closer, and then we knew that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water.

My friend was puzzled. He came up to the man and asked, “Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you’re doing.” Without stopping his work, the man answered, “I’m throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it’s low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don’t throw them back into the sea, they will die up here from lack of oxygen.” “I understand,” said my friend, “but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can’t possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many. You are just wasting your time doing something meaningless. And don’t you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast? Can’t you see that you can’t possibly make a difference?”

The man smiled, bent down, and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied in a firm voice, “Made a difference to that one!”
