at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract(合同).She came into Tokyo without a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuing her pursuits of triathlon(铁人三项).She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season.However,she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018,eventually taking a year off the bike.In 2019,Kiesenhofer came back to the sport as a rider,winning the Austrian national road race.Despite her results,Kiesenhofer sill had no professional contract while going into the Tokyo Olympics.Kiesenhofer was the first rider to attack in the Olympic road race,eventually forming a breakaway along with Carl Oberholzer,Omer Shapira,Vera Looser and Anna Plichta,which went on to reach a gap of 11 minutes.After Looser and Oberholzer were dropped,Kiesnhofer ataced her two remaining breakaway companions.After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the peloton(主车群),the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold,not knowing that Remehofere was still in front.While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes,other riders mistakes should not detract from the Austrians efforts.Off the bike the new Olympic Champion has a PhD in mathematics after studying at the Technical University of Vienne as well as at Cambridge University.She currently works at the University of Lausanne.4.Why did Anna give up triathlon?A.She got injured.B.She lost interest in it.C.She

his twelve years,and he was angry being treated as a child.Farid,his older brother,had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zakis age.Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters(牡蛎).Many times Zaki begged to go along,but Faridalways refused to let him.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice.His grandfather,a former diver,would watch him and advise him.All morning,Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves.Every afternoon,again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath.With each days practice,his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer.Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day.He wanted to compete with his brother.They dived beneath the waves.Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brothers face.Farid was smiling with confidence.Slowly,the smile was disappearing from Farids face.As more seconds passed,a worried look appeared on Farids face.Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him.Looking into Farids eyes,Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother.Never would the villagers allow him to live it down.He would be laughed at by losing to a little child.Almost without thinking,Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farids head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back.Farid,however,put his arm around Zakis shoulders.“Today,”Farid announced,“we shall have a new diver among us.”Then quietly,for Zakis ears alone,he said“Thank you,my brother.”And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.8.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.Zakis

brother.C.Zaki regretted losing the competition.D.Both Farid and Zaki had grown up.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Farids Pride B.Zakis Challenge C.Brothers Competition D.Grandfathers Advice D Think ofJapanin the spring and the image that comes to mind is likely the countrys famous cherry blossoms,also known as“Sakura”white and pink flowers,blooming across cities and mountains.The flowers,which experience a“peak bloom”that only lasts a few days,have been loved inJapanfor more than a thousand years.Crowds celebrate with viewing parties,flockingto the most popular locations to take photos and have picnics underneath the branches.But this year,cherry blossom season has come and gone in the blink of an eye,in one of the earliest blooms on record.Scientists warn its a symptom of the larger climate crisis threatening ecosystems everywhere.Yasuyuki Aono,a researcher atOsakaPrefectureUniversity,has gathered records fromKyotoback to 812 AD from historical documents and diaries.In the central city ofKyoto,cherry blossoms peaked on March 26,the earliest in more than 1,200 years,Aono said.And in the capitalTokyo,cherry blossoms reached full bloom on March 22,the second-earliest date on record.The peak bloom dates shift every year,depending on numerous factors including weather and rainfall,but have shown a general trend of moving earlier and earlier.InKyoto,the peak date stayed around mid-April for centuries,but began moving into early April during the 1800s.The date has only dipped into late March a handful of times in recorded history.“Sakura blooms are very temperature sensitive,”said Aono.“Flowering and full bloom could be earlier or later depending on the temperature alone,”he said.“The temperature was low in the 1820s,but it has risen by about 3.5 degrees Celsius to this day.”This years seasons in particular influenced the blossom dates,he added.The winter was very cold,but the spring came fast and unusually warm.12.What is the best title of the passage?A.Cherry blossom celebrations.B.Warning of a climate crisis.C.A strong love for cherry blossom.D.Cherry blossom season coming earlier.13.What does the

March.C.The peak bloom dates mainly depend on weather and rainfall.D.Cherry blossom peaks around mid-April inTokyo.15.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.To inform people the date of cherry blossom.B.To show a study on cherry blossom dates.C.To present a Japanese tradition of cherry blossom celebration.D.To make people aware of the influence of climate change on cherry
