Maxim is a wheelchair dancer, and does both ballroom style dancing and figure skating on ice.He initially took up dancing when he was 14 years old as a way to strengthen his body-in particular his left arm and fingers which had limited functionality at the time. Gradually, he began to think about becoming the standing partner of a person using a wheelchair； however, his challenges with balance meant it wasnt going to be possible. His mother and coach suggested he get into a wheelchair himself. He unwillingly got into a wheelchair but was quickly pleased by his progress.The possibilities without a partner were limited, so Maxim went on in search of a dance partner. With only some practice with his first partner, the pair took part in their first tournament, where they performed well. While his start in partner dancing was good, finding a right partner wasnt easy. His mother would get in touch with the girls parents or coaches and the vast majority had very rude reactions as soon as they found out he was disabled.His coaches drove him to grow and develop as a dancer, and came up with some great techniques to help him. His dancing was improved even further when his third coach forced him to think in the way a standingdancer did. Maxim says this is what helped his performance to look like dancing rather than just rolling back and forth on the dance floor.Maxim says his greatest pride is having taken his dancing skills on ice. He is the first high level figure skater in a wheelchair, and still the only one to this day. Maxim is taking a break from dance because of health issues, but he recently participated in a Russian Virtual Reality Project which aims to motivate people with disabilities to get more active in real life.24. How does Maxims disease affect him?A. He gives up his dream to become a dancer.B. He can only control half of his body freely.C. He has no way to make a living all the time. D. He has an extremely unhappy marriage life.25. Why did Maxim start dancing?A. To be a standing dance partner.B. To meet his mothers expectation.C. To improve his physical condition.D. To get himself out of a wheelchair.26. What difficulty did Maxim have while looking for a dance partner?A. Few people praised his talent.B. Nobody helped with the search.C. He was rejected because of hisskills.D. He faced discrimination due to disability.27. What does the underlined word this in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Mastering dancing techniques.B. Thinking like a standing dancer.C. Helping people with disabilities.D. Making some progress in dancing.CA new study looks at how pets provide important support through petting, cuddles（拥抱），and a frequent physical presence. This is especially key when people feel lonely.The researchers interviewed 32 people aged 59 to 83 years old. Pets included dogs, cats, birds, etc. More than 90% of the people spoke about touch in the relationship with their pets. Participants often described touch-based interactions with their pets as being comforting or relaxing in a way that contributed to their overall wellbeing, the researchers say. For our participants, comfort is the sense of being somehow cared for by another being. Many people in the study spoke about how their pets just seemed to “know when they werent feeling well and theyd move to get physically near them. Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted. Many said cats were more relaxing companions than dogs, while others said dogs could be relaxing as long as they were “the right kind of dog”. But almost all pets provided some sort of comfort to their owners when it came to touch.Janette Young, lecturer in health sciences at the University of South Australia, and her team uncovered an interesting thing about the pet-human relationship. People in the study often spoke about how their animals demanded to be petted or seemed to take joy in the interaction. This, in turn, made the humans feel good.The researchers suggest that pets can be “helpful in reducing touch deprivation（匮乏）“ and the benefits can come from all kinds of pets. This connection can be particularly important in health care and senior care settings where patients and workers are less likely to be able to see friends and family; yet touch is important and can improve health and happiness.Pets can also offer benefits that in some cases people cant offer. Relationships with pets are different to those with humans, Young says. Animals dont judge and are always with us. 28. About what did some participants hold different opinions?A. What pets were better at providing comfort.B. Whether pets could make them feel relaxed.C. How they felt when their pets touched them.D. When pets could notice their owners discomfort.29. What did Janette Young find about the pet-human relationship?A. It is full of judgments.B. It turns out temporary.C. It benefits both parties.D. It is determined by pets.30. What may researchers suggest hospitals do?A. Encourage pet connection programs.B. Raise pets to reduce human touch.C. Select out the best pet companions.D. Order workers friends to pay visits.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Humans need spiritual support.B. Pet-human interactions are common.C. Lonely people like living with pets.D. Pets offer humans touch-based comfort.DParking your car in a parking garage has a lot of advantages. You do not have to constantly move your car for alternate side parking, or snow removal, and you do not have to go in and out of your vehicle in unpleasant weather. Now, in Munich, Germany, there is an additional benefitartificial intelligence can reward drivers for not using their cars.A trial program, led by UK-based Fetch, ai and Datarella, a German company, at a downtown Munich office buildings uses AI to communicate with drivers to tell them when the garage is filling up and a price increase will go into effect, or suggest that drivers find an alternative place to park. Actually, it can be used as a motivation for people to leave their cars and use environmentally-friendly methods of transportation. People who do not use their cars to commute to work will be rewarded with public transit passes.The AI is based on a multi-agent technology where agents can perform specific tasks and by communication with each other, sort out complex situations. The drivers apps will be programmed to know when the cars will be in use and the parking garage agent will tap into a camera system that will analyze the amount of spaces and then set the price accordingly. Then the drivers can decide whether and where to park through the apps.The city council（议会）made some comments on the new project： it is still immature but it is likely to improve parking space management and organize traffic flow to prevent traffic jams. Our system encourages community use of public transport or other sustainable transportation through a distribution system while reducing the congestion（拥堵）that accounts for a great deal of Munichs CO2 emissions （排放）, Michael Reuter, CEO of Datarella said.Even a 10 percent reduction of car use will save 37,000 tons of emission. That is the equivalent emissions of all yearly energy use for 4,000 homes.While the system is being trialed in only one garage, Fetch, ai plans to expand the trial to other parking garages around the city in 2021.32. What does the trial program encourage drivers to do?A. Avoid public transport.B. Use green transportation.C. Pay more for the parking,D. Park in traditional garages.33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How parking prices are increased.B. How drivers benefit from parking.C. How normal parking garages operate.D. How the AI parking system works.34. What is the city councils attitude towards the project?A. Generally positive.B. Extremely worried.C. Barely hopeful.D. Totally admiring.35. What is the best title for the text?A. You Will Be Rewarded for Not ParkingB. Parking Your Car in the Garage MattersC. A Parking Garage Is Using AI for ParkingD. A Trial Parking System Is Expanding Fast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。In the globalizing world, youre likely to receive some kind of encouragement to travel, study or work abroad.
