Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23,2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic.Lets take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectators There are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections.About 950 people,including officials and journalists,will watch in the

adapted in order to“highlight the importance of solidarity,inclusion,non-discrimination and equality”.The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to sixtwo athletes,two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremony In the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public,the performances are integrated with dances,scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost,the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the

to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughters graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic,22,graduated from Chamberlain Universitys College of Nursing in 2020.Her mother,Sevala Habibovic,46,died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasnt for me.Then,my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital,”Edina toldGood MorningAmerica.“When my mom passed away,I thought,I want to dothis.”she said.Sanja Josipovic,who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield,Illinois,cared for Sevala inside her home.They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadnt finished school yet,”Sanja said.“We are like sisters;we care about and trust each other.She was a powerful and strong minded woman.She wasnt scared to die;she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people.“When Sanja was working,my mom would still try to make her something to eat,no matter how sick she was,”Edina added.When Sevalas life was coming to an end,she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughters nursing school graduation.“That was the only thing she was going to miss.Edinas graduation,”said Sanja,who is a mother of three herself.She agreed.Due to COVID-19,there was no graduation or pinning ceremony.Edinas manager at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital decided to host a pinning ceremony for her and have Sanja present the pin.“Sanja has fulfilled her promise,”Edina said.Edina and Sanja are now caring for patients alongside one another as colleagues at Marianjoy.4.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Leaving the hospital B.Working as a nurse C.Facing death positively D.Caring for Edinas mother 5.What can be learned about Sanja and Sevala?A.They enjoyed volunteering B.They were cancer survivors C.They had unhappy marriages D.They developed a close bond 6.What would be Sevalas regret?A.The loss of the chance to study medicine B.Her absence from Edinas school graduation C.Failing to keep the promise made to Sanja D.Never cooking a good meal for her husband 7.How did Sanja fulfill her promise?A.By taking care of Edina and her family B.By helping Edina enter her dream hospital C.By attending a special ceremony for Edina D.By managing to become Edinas colleague C Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening.We know the risk of dementia(痴呆症)increases with age.But if you have memory slips you probably neednt worry.There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50,its quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people,places and things quickly,says Dr.Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Womens Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body.Certain parts become smaller,especially areas in the brain that are important to learning,memory and planning.Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain.And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie,for example,is nothing to worry about.But if you forget the plot of the movie or dont remember even seeing it,thats far more concerning,Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences,he says,thats“a red flag that something more serious may be involved”.Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven,or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend youve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong But even then,Daffner says,people shouldnt panic.There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss,including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep,high blood pressure,or depression,as well as medications(药物)like antidepressants.You dont have to figure this out on your own.Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications,health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory.And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brains cognitive(认知的)reserve,Daffner says.“Read books,go to movies,take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,”he says.In other words,keep your brain busy and working.And also get physically active,because exercise is a known brain booster 8.Why does the author say that one neednt be concerned about memory slips?A.Not all of them are related to ones age.B.Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.C.They occur only among certain groups of people.D.They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.9.Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously A.Totally forgetting how to do ones daily routines.B.Inability to recall details of ones life experiences C.Failure to remember the names of movies or actors D.Occasionally confusing the addresses of ones friends.10.What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A.Check the brains cognitive reserve.B.Stop medications affecting memory.C.Turn to a professional for assistance.D.Exercise to improve their well-being 11.What is Dr.Daffners advice forfight against memory loss?A.Having regular physical and mental checkups.B.Taking medicine that helps boost ones brain.C.Engaging in known memory repair activities.D.Staying active both physically and mentally D If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls,what can explain girls poor performance in science and math?It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses,not because they are difficult,but for social reasons.Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine(女性的)and attractive(有魅力的).However,there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams.This difference appears to be worldwide.Biological explanations have been offered for this,but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences.From their first days in kindergarten,boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks.Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides,there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students.They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls.They spend more time with the boy students,giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them.They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion.They also praise boys more frequently.All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses,nor is it likely to support girls who do.When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.12.Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A.To find differences between boys and girls.B.To explain the poor performance of girls.C.To ask readers a question.D.To introduce the topic.13.The text mainly discusses _ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A.biological B.personal C.social D.historical 14.What does the text say about great mathematicians?A.Their teachers did not offer answers to them.B.They started learning math at an earlier age.C.They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D.Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.15.The author would probably agree that _.A.boys and girls learn in the same way B.boys and girls are equal in general intelligence C.girls are more confident in themselves than before D.girls should take fewer science courses than boys 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 Will Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?For a
