4．The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.In around 80 A.D.，the Romans built the Colosseum，which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances，seating 50，000 people.However，that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus，which accommodated around 250，000 people.
These days，safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities（容量）slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each；gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world，we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far，which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity，as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional，still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
?Rungrado 1st of May Stadium，Pyongyang，D.P.R-Korea.Capacity.150，000.Opened.May 1，1989. ?Michigan Stadium，Ann Arbor，Michigan，U.S.Capacity：107，601.Opened.October 1，1927. ?Beaver Stadium，State College，Pennsylvania，U.S.Capacity：106，572.Opened：September 17，I960. ?Ohio Stadium，Columbus，Ohio，U.S.Capacity：104，944.Opened：October 7，1922.
?Kyle Field，College Station，Texas，U.S.Capacity：102，512.Opened：September 24，1927.
（1）How many people could the Circus Maximus hold？
A．104，944.
B．107，601.
C．About 150，000.
D．About 250，000.

5．Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task.If you're studying history，asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step.History is an essential part of human civilization.You will find something here that will arouse your interest，or get you thinking about the significance of history.
History grounds us in our roots.History is an important and interesting field of study，and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper，more meaningful glimpse（一瞥） into our ancestors' pasts，and how we got to where we are today.Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging，which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution（進(jìn)化） of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience.Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago.According to the experts，problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same.With the information about the ancestors，one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic （具有共情能力的）.Studying history can give us insight（洞察力） into why our culture does certain things，and how the past has shaped it into what we know now.It also provides a rather strong foundation（基礎(chǔ)）for empathy across cultures.Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance（無(wú)知 ）.We're scared of the things that we don't understand.History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more.What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons.It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts（概念）.Study the 19th century England，and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens? Oliver Twist.Look up Charles Dickens，and you might learn a thing or two about realism.Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels，and discover the history of romantic poets in England.It can go anywhere，and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.
The value of history cannot be ignored.We don't have to live in the past，but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
（1）The underlined part "where we are today" in Para.2 probably means.
A．the turning point in our history
B．the present state of our nation
C．the location of our homeland
D．the total area of our country
（2）According to the experts，why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life？
A．The problems at present are similar to those in the past.
B．Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today.
C．The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors.
D．People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems.
（3）With the example in Para.5，the writer intends to show that.
A．Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature
B．Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poets
C．reading novels is a way to learn about a historical period
D．studying history can arouse people's interest in other fields
（4）What could be the best title for the passage？
A．How to Build Cultural Identity.
B．Why Studying History Matters.
C．Know the Past，Know the Present.
D．History：a Way to Broaden Horizons.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -
6．Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet.While cars and trains are moving towards greener，electric power，emissions（排放） from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050.If we want big green sky solutions，we need blue sky thinking.Fortunately，there's plenty of that happening right now，particularly the short﹣haul flights powered by batteries.
Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America，flying 30，000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year.Significantly，all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes，making it perfectly fit for electric engines. "As an airline，we're currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes." says CEO Greg McDougall.To make this happen，the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world's first commercial flight with an electric engine.
Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment，it also makes sound financial sense：a small aircraft uses ﹩400 on traditional fuel for a 100﹣mile flight，while an electric one costs ﹩8-12 for the same distance，and that's before you consider the higher maintenance（保養(yǎng)） costs of a traditional engine.There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in.No loud engine noise，no smell of fuel，just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.
While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry，the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground.A battery，even a lithium on，only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram；compare this to liquid fuel，which has a specific energy of 11，890 watt-hours per kilogram.Carrying enough batteries，however，would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground.In aircraft，where every bit of weight counts，this can't just be ignored.
The transition（過(guò)渡） from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-
vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity.Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air.Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric part is switched on at key parts of the journey，especially on take-off and landing.
It?s certainly an exciting time for electric flying.With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead，battery-powered planes，especially on short-haul journeys，are set to become a reality in a few years.
（1）Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights？
A．It runs short routes.
B．It has a strong partner.
C．Its planes can land on the sea.
D．It has planes with powerful engines.
（2）The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes.
A．give passengers more pleasant views
B．bring airlines more financial benefits
C．offer more enjoyable flying experiences
D．cost less in maintenance than traditional ones
（3）What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying？
A．To improve the ground service for e-planes.
B．To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.
C．To calculate（計(jì)算）the energy needed to power e-planes.
D．To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of electric flying？
A．Short-sighted.
B．Wait-and-see.
C．Optimistic.
D．Skeptical.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
7．After years of observing human nature，I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance：curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.
Together，these deep human urges （驅(qū)策力） count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo，all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent， "Why？Why？Why？"
Fortunately，curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them.
"The great man，" said Mencius （孟子）， "is who does not lose his child's heart." Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation.But once having met and liked them，we think how terrible it would have been，had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start？Modestly，so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.How she is one of the experts，writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven't any special ability？Most people don't；there are only a few geniuses.You haven't any time？That's good，because it's always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe，mother of six，wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking.You're too old？Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel，and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start，remember there is no better time to start than right now，for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
（1）In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to.
A．propose a definition
B．make a comparison
C．reach a conclusion
D．present an argument
（2）What does the example of Galileo tell us？
A．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B．Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C．Creativity results from challenging authority.
D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
（3）What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？
A．Observe the unknown around you.
B．Develop a questioning mind.
C．Lead a life of adventure.
D．Follow the fashion.
（4）What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7？
A．Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B．The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

8．Swap，Don't shop! You keep hearing about recycling，right？But it doesn't end with bottles，cans，and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（資源）to make，and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment.So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but- you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor？ （1）
.It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes，score clothes from your friends，and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes，the organization of the event，and，obviously，how much fun it had.It's really easy to do!Here are a few pointers.
● Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. （2），there may not be enough things to choose from；more than that，it becomes uncontrollable.
●（3）.They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
● Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. （4）.Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
● Set a starting time.Maybe you say "go，" or turn on a certain song，or whatever. （5）.
And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits.Remember，it's a party!
A.Less people than that
B.Hold a clothing swap
C.If two people are competing
D.Just keep music playing throughout
E.Donate whatever clothes are left over
F Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5

For Pruitt，a keen bicyclist，the first thing to do was（3）his stolen bike.But when he went bike shopping，he found few available，which got him thinking：What if the lack of bikes was Covid-19 related，and what if the person who'd taken his bike really needed（4）to get to work？

38．The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline，some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems，and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time，she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed，his wife，who took care of him and could not go out to work，and their little boy.The little boy - his name was Bernard - had interested her very much.
"I wish you could see him，" she said to her own children，John，Harry，and Clara. "He is such a help to his motjye.air.He wants very much to earn some money，but I don't see what he can do."
After their mother left the room，the children sat thinking about Bernard. "I wish we could help him to earn money，" said Clara. "His family is suffering so much."
"So do I，" said Harry. "We really should do something to assist them."
For some moments，John said nothing，but，suddenly，he sprang to his feet and cried， "I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish（完成）."
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea，it was sure to be a good one.I'll tell you what we can do，" said John. "You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us？Well，we can make popcorn（爆米花），and put it into paper bags，and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it."
