2 . Sleep is important for our physical and mental well-being. Getting enough sleep can improve our overall health and quality of life. However, many people struggle to get the recommended amount of sleep each night.     1    

Get good exercise. Regular exercise is known to reduce stress and anxiety, improving the quality of sleep. Additionally, getting in a good workout can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day.     2     It can increase your heart rate and body temperature, making it a struggle to fall asleep.

    3     Creating a sleep-friendly environment is important for getting better sleep. Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet. Keeping the room dark can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Treat sleep apnea (睡眠呼吸暂停). Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide.     4     It can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure. Treatment choices include lifestyle changes, such as sleeping on your back or weight loss.

Avoid caffeine after 2 pm.     5     It can take several hours for the effects of caffeine to wear off, so make sure to avoid caffeine in the evening.

3 . A powerful earthquake hit Morocco, killing thousands of people and causing huge damage over a large area.

The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. It was not only one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco, but also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,900 people. The earthquake was especially precarious as it happened at night, when most people were asleep at home.

The center of the earthquake was in the Atlas Mountains, about 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh, a large city popular with tourists in the center of Morocco. Fortunately, many of its modern buildings survived the earthquake. However, the old part of the city, called the Medina, whose buildings are over 1,000 years old, was hit hard, leaving many of those buildings in ruins.

Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there were many small villages. Many people in the area lived in simple houses made of mud, a traditional way of building in Morocco. But they’ re not strong enough to survive earthquakes and many of these houses simply fell apart, turning into sand. The Moroccan government has laws requiring buildings to be built more safely, yet these rules were often overlooked.

In larger cities, rescue efforts seemed to be going well. But it took a lot longer for help to reach remote (偏远的) areas in the mountains. That meant the local people in those areas had to deal with the situation on their own. They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped. Moreover, many people were sleeping outside, unsure if their houses were safe enough.

More help was on the way. Many outside countries offered teams of experts and emergency supplies. But the government said too many different rescue teams could make the situation more confusing.

1. Why did the earthquake lead to the most deaths on record in Morocco?

A．It struck a large and tourist city.	B．It was powerful and happened at night.

4 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A good parent-children relationship should     1    (build) on the basis of understanding and respect. On the one hand, parents cannot impose (强加) their ideas on their children.

It is good for the parents to learn to listen to     3    (children) ideas and encourage them     4    (think) on their own, instead of deciding everything for the children. On     5     other hand, children should listen to their parents’ advice because they’re more experienced. Try to be understanding     6     there is disagreement with parents. Always keep one thing in mind—whatever they do     7    (come) from their love for us. It is also necessary for children to exchange ideas     8     parents from time to time. Doing so will bridge the gap between parents and children. Parents give us life and all the     9    (thing) we need, but we can’t give them back. However, we should try our best to treat them     10    (kind). Our parents are so good to us, so we must be grateful to them.

5 . Wimbledon is the most important sporting event of the British summer. Since the first tournament (锦标赛) was played in 1877, the competition has become a global sporting event attended by over half a million people, and watched on television by millions.

Although the Wimbledon tennis championship (锦标赛) has been around for more than a century, the sport of tennis has a much longer history. Most experts agree that the modern game has its origins in a courtyard ball game played by French monks in the 11th century.

Much has changed since the first Wimbledon Tournament in 1877. The first champion, Spencer Gore, won a prize of £12;this year the prize money is £630,000. Indeed, success in tennis championships is a very profitable (有收益的) business. 2004 Wimbledon champion, Roger Federer has won nearly $17,000,000 in prize money since 1998. Even more impressive, Serena and Venus Williams have won $30,000,000 between them over the last ten years.

Although Wimbledon has traditionally been dominated by Americans and Europeans, other countries are beginning to produce world-class players. Zheng Jie and Yan Zi won China’s first Wimbledon title on July 9, 2006. They beat Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain and Paola Suarez of Argentina in the women’s doubles final.

In the future all Chinese competitors will be under pressure to do well; their coach, Jiang Hongwei, has gone on record as saying, “My goal is to lift my players into the top 30.”

7 . On Aug. 7, 2021, Xu Shixiao and her partner, Sun Mengya, won gold in the first women’s canoe double 500 m event at the Tokyo Games. It was also the first Olympic gold medal for China in the event.

    1     Xu was born in a small county in a mountainous area in Jiangxi. Before becoming a paddler, Xu couldn’t even swim since her hometown is surrounded by mountains.

In 2005, the 13-year-old, who was much taller than her peers, attracted the attention of a rowing coach who came to look for potential paddlers in her school.     2    

“Every day my canoe turned over dozens of times. I drank lots of water in rivers,” recalls Xu of her first canoeing training. Xu kept training for a year and she made the final of a national race for teenage athletes out of a dozen paddlers at the centre.

In 2013, the news that women’s canoeing was still not an Olympic event dealt her a heavy blow.     3     Xu gave up her career and found her first job as a saleswoman in a furniture company.

When Xu Shixiao went to work as usual in the furniture company five years ago, she was surprised to get a call from her former coach, inquiring about her willingness to return to canoeing and compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games.     4     “I never thought that one day I could go back to the sport. Now that I have started again, I will do my best,” says Xu.

    5     She is also looking forward to taking part in the Paris Olympics in 2024.

A．Xu quickly made her decision.

B．Yet Xu’s journey to the Olympics was a rough one.

C．It was impossible for her to change the sport at age 21.

D．She made all efforts to reach the goal and never gave up.

E．Xu agreed to train at a rowing centre because she thought rowing a boat was fun.

F．Compared with athletes who are in their early 20s, Xu’s physical recovery is slower.

G．The Olympic medalist will participate in competitions at home and abroad this year.
