During the ceremony, many Chinese cultural elements were put into the design of the grand show, expressing some Chinese romance. They became the highlights of the closing ceremony and let's take a look. Festival lanterns The closing ceremony began with a large snowflake torch appearing in the sky, echoing the moment from the opening ceremony. Then accompanied by cheerful music, children hung traditional Chinese festive lanterns, lighting up the emblem of the Winter Olympics, which originated from the Chinese character for winter, "dong". Chinese knot The 12 Chinese zodiac（生肖）-themed ice cars created an outline of a Chinese knot with its wheel trails. And then it was enlarged, and an enormous "Chinese knot" was presented using digital AR technology. Each ribbon could be clearly seen, and all of the ribbons twisted together, symbolizing unity and a good fortune. Fish and riches During the closing ceremony, the Malanhua Children's Choir from a mountainous area of Fuping county in Hebei province performed again, this time with different clothes. The Chinese paper-cut of double fish was seen on their clothes, meaning "rich and have a surplus in the next year" in Chinese culture. Willow（柳树） branch for farewell In ancient times, Chinese people broke a willow branch and gave it to their friends, family or relatives when seeing them off, as willow sounds like "stay" in Mandarin. Willow branches appeared in the closing ceremony, expressing Chinese people's hospitality and bidding farewell to the world guests. 21. Which of the flowing is inspired by the Chinese character “dong”? A. Festive lanterns. B. A snowflake torch. C. The emblem. D. Cheerful music. 22. What characteristic did “Chinese knot” and “Fish and riches” share? A. Both employed AR technology. B. Both symbolized a wealthy life. C. Both were created by ice cars. D. Both were performed by children. 23. Which one can be adopted as a symbol of departure ? A. Festive lanterns. B. Chinese knot. C. Fish and riches. D. Willow branch. B A Norfolk sheepdog named Peggy spent most of her life working on a farm and helping her human herd animals from place to place. She was great at her job, which requires keen intelligence and the ability to listen to a shepherds signals. But everything changed when Peggy suddenly went deaf for unknown reasons. Peggy was sent to an animal shelter in 2018. With the shelter full, staffers tried to find a foster family for her to spend the holidays with. Thankfully, animal welfare manager Chloe Shorten stepped up to take her in! “We decided she could stay with us temporarily while we found somewhere more permanent to take her in, but we completely fell in love with her almost immediately and it soon became clear that she wouldnt be going anywhere!” Chloe said. “She was greasy and out of condition, untrusting, and frightened,” the shelter added. “She soon started to bond with me and we started taking her fun places like the beach, something we dont think she has ever experienced before,” Chloe said. “With some tender loving care and good food, Peggy soon started to adjust to life. Several months on and Peggy has blossomed into a dog who is continuing to improve daily.” One of the biggest ways Peggys new family helped her adjust was getting her back to work. Working dogs are bred to do a specific job, and without a purpose, they can grow depressed and bored. So Chloe introduced the dog to hand signs and taught her to use her eyes in place of her ears while on the job. Now that shes 10, shes “generally retired,” but she still enjoys herding and continues to impress her family with how quickly she learns new skills. 24.

They were concerned about her mental health. 27. Which of the following best describes Peggy? A. Aggressive and shy B. Adaptable and gifted C. Untrusting and greasy D.Fierce and talented C A TRAIN operator from Britain has made travelling more enjoyableby hosting live yoga classes during journeys. Heathrow Express passengers travelling on October 13 were treated to sessions with yoga influencer Celest Pereira, who has developed a 12-minute seat-yoga and meditation session to help travellers relax. The class has been developed so travellers of all ages and abilities can perform the exercises safely from their seatsand its believed to be the first time a yoga class has taken place on a moving train and it received fabulous feedbacks. To get passengers in the right stage of mind, the “Tranquil Train” carriage hosting the sessions was decorated with fresh eucalyptus(桉树叶) and lavender(薰衣草) to fill the carriage with calming fragrances, as a consequence of which the passengers might feel much more light-hearted. The initiative was launched after a study also conducted by Heathrow Express found more than half of public transport users find travel stressful following the Covid-19 pandemic. Celest Pereira said, “Travelling can get people very unsettled. As theres lots going on, lots of things to think about, and its very deadline driven so it can be a very intense experience.” By hosting these classes were hoping to relieve those pressures and help passengers be in the present moment, feel less overwhelmed and relieve any muscle tension. Moreover, these kind of classes are likely to produce prized memories. The surveyed adults also identified the most frustrating aspects of travelincluding delayed departures, big crowds, noisy environment as well as dull waits. They revealed that more quiet carriages, more reserved seats, free snacks or refreshments plus reserved places for luggage and onboard entertainment contributed to taking mind off worrying things. These researches will make a big difference to a better travel experience. 28. What inspired Heathrow Express to host live yoga class during journeys? A. Yoga classes enjoy popularity in public transport. B. The calming atmosphere in carriages makes people dance. C. Public transport users often feel lighthearted when traveling. D. Over half of public transport users surveyed find travelling stressful. 29. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Overdue. B. Overjoyed. C. Overcome. D. Overestimated. 30. Which of the following can reduce peoples worry according to the study? A. The entertainment on the train. B. Lower noise in the carriages. C. Seats free of charge. D. Overcrowded departures. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Elements to peoples worry aboard B. Unsettling travels and live yoga classes C. Ways to release travelers concerns D. Live anti-pressure yoga classes aboard D Chinese scientists have identified a new protein that restricts HIV infection, a discovery that could pave the way for the development of new drugs against the virus. The protein, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), which exists in human cells, can inhibit(抑制) the process by which HIV reproduces, according to research published in the science journal Nature Microbiology this month. However, the study also showed that PSGL-1 can be negatively affected by Vpuan accessory（附属） protein of HIVwhich can neutralize the ability of PSGL-1 to resist HIV. Further research is under way to develop a drug that can inhibit the HIV protein so that PASGL-1 can restrict HIV, according to Tan Xu, a researcher at Tsinghua University's School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a leading author of the study. Several other proteins in human cells that could resist HIV have been discovered over the past 10 years, but the virus can also evade(避开) them. PSGL-1 shows particular promise in that it can inhibit the HIV in multiple waysespecially by blocking the infectiousness of virus offspring, Tan said. "We are starting to research into small molecule（分子）compounds in the hope of finding one that can restore PSGL-1's anti-HIV function. In this way we can develop a very effective antiviral drug for people with HIV/AIDS," he said. Tan said it will require at least three to five years for the research to reach the preclinical stage, and more time after that before a clinical trial is possible. The research was conducted by researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Fudan University in Shanghai and George Mason University in the United States. Existing treatment methods for people with HIV/AIDS, which mostly rely on a combination of different drugs, can prevent the disease from progressing but cannot cure it, and long-term use of drugs can result in drug resistance. An estimated 37 million people in the world live with HIV, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. The study provides new leads to developing antiviral drugs, Tsinghua University said in a statement. 32.What can we learn about PSGL-1 from the passage? A. Both the protein PSGL-1 and the protein Vpu are HIV proteins. B. PSGL-1 can restrict the function of the protein Vpu. C. PSGL-1s molecule compounds have been identified. D. The protein PSGL-1 functions better than others in resisting HIV . 33.What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? A. The existing treatment for HIV are far from perfect. B. It will be a decade before the antiviral drugs is put on the market. C. American scientists played a leading role in the research. D. HIV/AIDS will no longer be a deadly disease owing to the new discovery. 34.What is the main idea of the passage? A. There is a long way to go before curing HIV. B. More people are faced with the threat of HIV. C. Chinese scientists are leading the way in curing HIV. D. A new protein to resist HIV was confirmed by scientists. 35. Where is this text most likely from? A. A journal B. A fiction C. A magazine D. A brochure 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The New York Times reported that phone calls have made a comeback during the pandemic. Verizon, an American wireless network operator, told the Times that its now handling an average of 800 million wireless calls daily during the week. Thats more than double the calls made on Mothers Day, which is one of the busiest days of the year for phone calls. 36 Similarly, AT&T Inc. reported that the number of cell calls has increased by 35%. 37 And theres nothing like creating a big family get-together by cramming everyone on a screen. Its great that you can see the people youre talking to. But sometimes, something gets lost when video is involved. Video calls and apps are “undeniably brilliant,”writes the Guardian. “But theres a performance involved, distractions, and people coming and going. If you want to actually say something to someone, just call them. 38 ”. If you are old enough, you might remember having one phone for the whole family. “The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” Luke Fermandez, a computer-science professor at Weber State University says. “With smartphones, we have gained mobility and privacy. 39 ” But now so many of us are turning back t
