In 2020, however, a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. For Hill, it was not the end of a dancing career but the beginning.Hill danced in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. It definitely took a lot of learning and patience to dance in a wheelchair.After graduation, Hill met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. It was an amazing experience for her.In 2020 Los Angeles, she formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether youre walking or youre rolling,” she said. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety.Hill has attained what many people never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. She calls it the Rollettes Experience, and in 2020, 173 participants from ten countries attended.For many, it was the first time theyd felt they belonged. Steph Aiello said that working with Hill challenged her to be more independent. Edna Serrano said being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car because she had more confidence.The dancers arent the only ones feeling inspired.

Attaining Dancing Dream In WheelchairCUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and lonelinessThe idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years， but not many studies have managed to actually link the two To do that， Penn researchers， led by psychologist Melissa Hunt，designed a study that focused on WeChat， Snapchat and InstagramThe study was conducted with 143 participants， who before they began， completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens， showing how often they were using their phones to access social mediaWe set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life Hunt saidThe study divided the participants into two groups： The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits The other， the control group， was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out， anxiety， depression and lonelinessThe results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness， Hunt saidSocial media invites what Hunt calls downward social comparison When youre online， it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and youre left out， Hunt said And thats just generally discouraging Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage selfesteem and selfworth， Hunt addedPeople are on their devices， and thats not going to change， she said But as in life， a bit of control goes a long way28 Before the study was conducted， the participants completed a survey to A. imitate peoples real life B. link loneliness to depressionC. show their use of social media D. prove social media is important29 The results of the study showed using less social media would result in A. peoples fear of missing out B. higher levels of depressionC. obvious relief in loneliness D. lower levels of happiness30 In Hunts opinion， which activity benefits more to mental health？A.

A Study on Social Media B. How to Improve Mental HealthC. People Addicted to Social Media D. Social Media Influences Mental HealthDThe discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal（地热的）energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the worlds economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提炼）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. Whats more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.32 Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _.A.the production of fossil fuels costs a lotB.fossil fuels are nearly used upC.it is free to use geothermal energyD.geothermal energy doesnt depend on political situation33 According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?A.Coal is much more efficient than gas.B.Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.C.Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.D.The geothermal systems dont produce harmful gases.34 Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of _.A.the life span of geothermal equipment B.the nature of geothermal energyC.the small buildings D.geothermal power plants35 What is the main idea of this passage?A.Geothermal energy has many advantages.B.Geothermal energy is well accepted.C.Fossil fuels are being run out of.D.Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control-hard to find just when you want it most. 36 But there are ways to increase your willpower.* Dont try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so dont spread yourself too thin. 37* Whatever your goal is, dont expect to achieve it overnight. 38 If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.* 39 Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.* If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quit smoking? 40A. Focus on one goal at a time.B. Real success takes time.C. Improve your willpower by a support network.D. Change your environment to change your life.E. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.F.

Whenever you walk past a caf you might be drawn in by the smell of 61 (fresh) made coffee, but the minute you try this dark drink you will regret 62 , because it is bitter. Many people are confused by this phenomenon, but now scientists say they have figured out the answer it lies 63 our “second sense of smell”. We have got two senses of smell. One is 64 we breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and 65 (breathe) out through the nose.In fact the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experiences. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste 66 (use) our tongue. But the truth is 67 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch 68 very small part of the flavor. The mismatch (不一致) between our two senses of smell doesnt always have unpleasant results, such 69 durian and some cheese. They are 70 (smelly) than the stinking (恶臭的) fish, but once they are in your mouth, you are experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction. It is delicious.第二节 基础词汇测试（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）71. (请教，咨询) your doctor without delay if you have a high fever.72.There is not much time left; So Ill tell you about it .(简短，简洁)73.Jack is badly ill.
