Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games. Figure skating Figure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes. Curling Curling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement! Snowboarding Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics. Ice hockey Ice hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰 场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact.

B I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.” She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber. The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia. But I hesitated. My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I’ll manage with the family...it’ll be OK.” I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high schooland where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand I couldn’t bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter’s offer.I’m still making music. I'm rich in love and I have no regrets. 29. When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _______. A. envied him B. laughed at him C. encouraged him D. didn’t believe him 30.

C Nearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the disease. A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital,has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the research team. The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫 苗), from becoming infected(感染) by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang. How does it work? When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems. The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.” 33. What can we know about the new therapy according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2? A. It’s the first way to treat COVID-19. B. It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients. C. It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug. D. It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities. 34. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Only medical workers can take this drug. B. Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell. C. The new drug takes effect after a period of use. D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. It is easy to produce the drug. B. The new drug has been put into use. C. Zhang thought highly of the power of science. D. China is the first country to use technology to fight disease. 36. Where does the text probably come from? A. A textbook. B. An educational magazine. C. A medical journal. D. A tourist guide. D As people get older, the types of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to hu
