1 . 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。

In December 2018, a bunch of friends and I went to Europe to travel. Upon arrival in Vienna, we got the keys to the house from its owner. The     1     (decorate) of the house was quite good.

In Vienna, if anyone wants to copy a key, he or she is expected     2     (prove) their ownership of the property (房产) the key is for. It’s also really expensive. An ordinary key usually costs 150 euros (1.170 yuan). As the person in charge of the keys, I had a great responsibility.

    3     next day, we went everywhere, including the Sisi Museum and a coffee shop in the city center,     4     had dinner in a fancy restaurant. We felt quite relaxed. While we     5     (enjoy) dinner, my friends came up to me, asking for the keys so they could leave early. It was then that I realized that I’d lost them.

The host asked us to give him 300 euros to cover the cost of a new set of keys. We made a complaint about it but we had to pay the money. So, hoping to get our money back, we decided to do some detective work     6     our own.

I wrote an email to the Sisi Museum in the middle of the night, wondering whether the staff had found them. Early in the morning, I received their reply, saying that they had not.

    7     (fortunate) in the end, the keys were found in a souvenir shop. The host even said congratulations to us.

Though we saw many great     8     (sight) in Europe, the most     9     (value) thing about my trip was this lesson I learned: Never lose your keys in Vienna. Your keys ought to     10     (take) good care of.

2 . I live in a town near Prague(布拉格), the capital of the Czech Republic. Besides cars, bikes are the most important _________ of transportation(运输). As it _________ you to go almost anywhere you want, cycling is a big _________ for Czech people. On weekends, you can see cyclists _________ through the towns wearing helmets (头盔) and cycling clothes.

Some people _________ that living in a town is inconvenient (不便利的), including me. _________, I find life in towns much more _________ than that in big cities after living here for a while. I was _________ given a bicycle by my host family. _________ it is only an ordinary bike, I was still __________ and couldn’t wait to take a cycling trip alone.

One sunny Sunday afternoon, I took my first cycling trip to a village nearby. I cycled for a while, alongside a river. But then, something happened: One of my tires __________. There was no choice but to __________ my bike back home, which took an hour.

I didn’t give up though: One week later, I __________ again. This time, however, there was__________ wrong with my tires. It was a very beautiful town, with a typical Czech castle and a park full of peacocks. People were taking part in a marathon that day. There were also stands selling __________ Czech foods and drinks, such as potato pancakes and beer.

It was already sunset when I __________ to head home, and I saw almost no one on the way back. As the warm breeze softly stroked (轻抚) my face. I felt very __________ and happy.

I believe many of us need a(n) __________ like this to take a break from our __________ life sometimes. So, I really do encourage all of you to take a cycling trip alone, even just to a nearby village. Just look around you, and you’re sure to __________ some hidden beauty.

4 . It might seem like something from a science fiction movie, but scientists today are working on ways to combine certain kinds of bacteria with tiny robots. Scientists want to use these creations to improve the way we give medical treatment. They claim that drug therapy (疗法), disease diagnosis, and even surgery could be greatly aided by the use of nanobiotechnology. Nano-means “tiny”, and bio-means “life”. This tiny technology will use living organisms in combination with electronics.

Electronics makers already use tiny robots to build complex but very tiny circuits. Medical scientists want to use these robots to repair patients’ damaged organs or to direct medicines to affect specific cells. For example, tiny robots could be engineered to deliver chemotherapy (化疗) directly to cancer instead of to the entire body.

Existing electronics are the right size, but they lack practical use. Robots that can be built small enough to enter a person’s cells would be too tiny to move on their own. Therefore, scientists want to use tiny organisms such as bacteria to act as vehicles for the robots. The bacteria will be “driven” through the bloodstream by magnetic pulses (磁脉冲). Once the bacteria are in the correct locations, the robots will be able to do their jobs. In theory, these robots will cause less damage to the body than traditional methods of delivering medicines or performing surgeries.

Nanobiotechnology has yet to be put into practice, but many people already have concerns about its use. Some people worry about the ethic (道德标准) involved with controlling live organisms—and the possible side effects for their human hosts.

1. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The application of tiny robots.	B．The influence of tiny robots.
C．The operation of tiny robots.	D．The origin of tiny robots.

2. Which of the following could be a future benefit of nanobiotechnology?

A．Cheaper medicine.	B．Less harm to the body.
C．Longer life expectancy.	D．Faster performance of surgeries.

3. According to the medical scientists, robots ______.

A．can locate he bacteria.	B．are driven by medicine.
C．can act as vehicles.	D．are carried by bacteria.

4. Where does the text probably come from?

A．A computer textbok	B．A life magazine
C．A science magazine	D．A biology textbook

5 . Humans have explored space beyond Earth’s atmosphere for over half a century. When astronauts explore the vast area of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the dangerous conditions of the universe.

A spacesuit is made up of nearly a half dozen different components(部件) and can have up to 16 layers, according to NASA. From start to finish, it can take up to four hours for an astronaut to dress up, said Cathleen Lewis, leader of international space programs. Before going on a spacewalk, astronauts must check each piece of equipment and make sure they have enough important supplies, such as oxygen and water.

The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, known as xEMU. One of its main components is the cooling garment, said Richard Rhodes, leader of xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. The garment is made of tubes that circulate water around the astronaut, regulating body temperature and removing extra heat as they complete their work. Each spacesuit has a portable life-support component, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment, carbon dioxide removal system and more.

The original spacesuits used during the Apollo missions were less flexible than the ones today. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure. On the outside of a spacesuit, there are colored stripes(条纹)unique to each suit. This is how astronauts can tell who is in each suit when out in space, Lewis said. This tried-and-true system will be used for the Artemis spacesuits.

Rhodes said the biggest challenge for the Artemis suits is making sure they are upgraded for lunar exploration. The suits need to be “light enough to support the lunar mission and strong enough to protect the astronaut while working in the very hazardous lunar environment,” he said.

1. What is the special feature of xEMU?

A．It is less flexible.	B．It can not wear easily.
C．It can protect astronauts.	D．It has a special cooling garment.

2. What are colored stripes on the outside of a spacesuit used for?

A．To test a new system.

B．To show the astronaut's nationality.

C．To distinguish who is in the spacesuit.

D．To indicate which country made the spacesuit.

3. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Cold.	B．Dangerous.
C．Noisy.	D．Unstable.

4. What’s the best title of the text?

A．Brave Astronauts in NASA

B．The Development of Spacesuits

C．Spacesuits Make Space Exploration Possible

D．NASA Designs New Spacesuits for Next Mission

6 . 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 group of musicians from China, Germany and Switzerland joined hands in a special concert to celebrate the 100-day countdown to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The event, also known as China Media Group(CMG) China-Europe Music Festival,    1    (hold) under the theme “The World in Unity”.

It’s part of a program of special events running up to the Winter Olympics, which will begin on February 4, 2022. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC),    2    (announce) in a video message that it would be another milestone for Beijing, the first city to host both summer and winter events.

The concert    3    (lead) by British-Swiss conductor Howard Griffiths, Swiss conductor Jean-Christophe Monnier and Chinese conductor Zhao Yuan was staged at venues(会场) in Geneva and Berlin. The concert caught wide attention as    4    included performances from world-class musicians.

Bach added, “The beautiful performances by this talented group of international artists show that inspirational moments are possible when we are dreaming together. This is    5    sport and music are all about: bringing all people together, making us dream, motivating us with    6    (beautiful) and excellence, and filling our hearts    7    joy.”

CMG President Shen Haixiong said, “Sport and music are the common language of all mankind. Artists from different countries perform wonderfully    8    (express) their sincere wishes for the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. This    9    (true) makes me feel the friendship that is    10    (deep) than the ocean.”

7 . The world that we live in is beautiful because it’s made up of people from a diverse set of backgrounds and cultures.     1     There’s no better way than to acknowledge Global Diversity Awareness Month every October.

During this time, our multicultural world is embraced and celebrated for all of the variety and joy it brings. Can you imagine a world where everyone looks the same, has the exact same hobbies and interests, and even eats the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner?     2     And bringing those differences together makes us better.

To put it simply, our diversity and inclusiveness (包容性)are our biggest strengths. We’ll all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good. As such, Global Diversity Awareness Month is a great chance for us to learn more about the beliefs, values and customs of other cultures.         3    

    4     For example, we can host a multicultural movie night and watch foreign films, or listen to music from around the world or visit cultural art exhibitions. Another way we can celebrate diversity is by inviting our friends and family to dinner. Everyone can bring traditional dishes from their countries and hometowns.

There is no doubt that diversity and inclusiveness make our world a better place.     5     As Mahatma Gandhi once said, our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization. Hopefully, with each passing day, we get closer and closer to that achievement.

A．There are many ways we can celebrate diversity.

B．How can we make the world a better place to live in?

C．What can possibly be a better way to celebrate that diversity?

D．Respect for world diversity is the key to bridging the differences.

E．It’s our unique differences that make the world so wonderful and interesting.

F．What’s important is that we reach out to other people and appreciate those differences.

G．In this way, we can open our mind to new ideas and ways of thinking to better our society.

9 . A 2020 study by Balbix found that 99% of the people surveyed reused their passwords between work accounts or between work and personal accounts.     1    

For example, a 2019 study by Google found that 59% of the people they surveyed used a name or a birthday in their password. And 24% admitted using a password like one of these below: 1234, 12345, 123456, etc.     2     Since both personal and work accounts are accessible from the same device with the same password, it simplifies the work a bad actor has to do in order to breach (攻入) your systems.

    3     The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Password Guidelines are widely regarded as the international standard for password best practices. Following these guidelines—and insisting your employees do the same—will help protect you against threats from weak or stolen passwords. Password managers can simplify the work required for your employees to follow these guidelines.

It's more secure to require your employees to use more than one authentication (身份验证) factor to access mobile company applications.     4     They'd need to check on their identity with additional authentication factors in order to log in.

Finally, you can also perform passwordless authentication.     5     For example, in the event that a mobile device is stolen or accessed illegally, requiring a facial scan (扫描) or a finger scan as a primary or secondary authentication factor could still prevent unauthorized access.

A．Passwords are commonly shared in the workplace.

B．It will help you to root out password risks altogether.

C．Many employees still create weak and simple passwords.

D．These bad password habits present a threat to organizations.

E．That helps reduce the risk that a bad actor gains access to your systems.

F．Unfortunately, the passwords that employees are reusing are often weak.

G．However, that's not to say there is no way to reduce or uproot password threats.

10 . In school, we' re taught word repetition is bad and that we shouldn't use the same word over and over again in the same piece. It gives the impression that we have a severely limited vocabulary.

Later on, however, we' re sometimes told that it's better to use the same word repeatedly. With dialogue, some novel-writing professors recommend using "said" with each comment instead of replacing it with synonyms（同义词）（whispered, responded, etc.）. Word repetition is also an emotional appeal strategy for speeches and sales, because people remember and respond to things they hear multiple times.

So which way is right?

The answer is, "It depends.” If you're writing for school, it's not a very good idea to use the same word constantly. If you're writing dialogue that you want to keep moving at a fast pace, using mostly “said” can help do that because "he said” and "she said” more or less fade into the background. They don't take much time or attention for the readers, so they can skip over and focus on the dialogue. However, this isn't a hard-and-fast rule. You might rely on “said” for one scene and mix in a bunch of synonyms for another.

Repeating a word can also provide emphasis, and it's really good for sales. Think about commercials and how they re-use specific words to make sure that those words stick in your memories. The trick to this method, however, is that you have to make sure other words aren't repeating the same way. Otherwise, the repetition loses its power.

In the end, it comes down to personal taste and the effect you' re trying to achieve. As Shakespeare said, "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." You may need to repeat the same word every time. You may need to mix it up with synonyms. You may need to do both at the same time for different ideas. And the decision may change completely by what you're trying to do.

1. Why should you avoid repetition in your school essay?

A．It would get readers angry if you did that.

B．Teachers thinks less of your vocabulary.

C．Essays are graded by your vocabulary.

D．Readers hate to read simple words over again.

2. What effect does using "said" repeatedly in dialogues have?

A．Limiting the writing speed.

B．Speeding up the reading process.

C．Putting more emphases on backgrounds.

D．Highlighting the writer's vocabulary.

3. How should word repetition be used in commercials?

A．Word repetition should be kept from being used in any way.

B．The more word repetitions, the better effect they have.

C．Repeat specific words but do the rest in another way.

D．Make sure that each word is repeated in the same way.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．What Effect Can Repetition Have on Novels?

B．Why does Poetry Use Repetitions?

C．Is Word Repetition Good or Bad?

D．How Is Word Repetition Used in Ads?
