• 1．Beijing，with co-host Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei Province，will host the 2022 Winter Olympics.That will benefit the capital as well as its residents （居民），so the below are something to be expected from the Winter Olympic Games.
      Blue skies
      It is highly expected that hosting the Winter Olympic Games will push Beijing to reduce pollution and improve the air quality more effectively.
      Beijing began carrying out a five-year plan from 2013 that cost 130 billion US dollars to upgrade heating systems，cut car emissions （排放） and close heavy-polluting factories.Such efforts will not only be made in Beijing but in a neighboring Hebei and Tianjin as well，as suggested by a development action plan to integrate （结合） the three places.Hopefully，blue skies will become a regular feature even after the Games.
      Transportation
      Although Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Games，Chongli county of Zhangjiakou will host some of the snow events.
      The capital region is likely to benefit from investments in infrastructure （基础设施），including the Beijing-Zhangjiakou intercity railways，expansion of Beijing subway systems，upgraded highway networks and another regional airport.
      Winter sports
      Beijing's vision is to develop a winter sports market for more than 300 million people in northern China.
      With a rich legacy left by the summer Olympics，China plans to reuse 11 of 12 venues built for the 2008 Olympics and only needs to build a new rink for speed skating，effectively easing possible problems of facilities （设施） being left idle after the Games.
      Transformation （转变）
      On the back of the Winter Olympics，the Beijing municipal government is looking at fostering sports-related industry as a new growth driver to power its economy.
      The goal is to integrate W3 the Winter Games with sustainable development plans for the wider region，focusing on clean energy，green technology，and improvement in ecology W4 and air quality.
      Tourism
      The country's plan to develop a winter sports industry will enhance Zhangjiakou's reputation as a tourist destination by upgrading its transportation system and facilities，such as hotels and restaurants.

• 2．Many years ago，I bumped into an old friend of mine.He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful.In his middle age，he seemed defeated and sad.
     I thought of his dogged （顽强的） perseverance.Was it smart or foolish？What could he have achieved？Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on？Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting.Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.
     We chant（反复喊着）"Winners never quit" and "If at first you don't succeed，try again. " We lap up（欣然接受） stories of persistence，of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.
     Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success，but it does not reward every person.For every JK Rowling，there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published.For every Olympic athlete，there are innumerable（无数的） others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.
     We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise.So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea？We consider quitting in the face of failure to be jye.aiak.We believe that perseverance is the key to success.Perseverance is only one part of success.You need talent or skill，as well as passion and drive.Luck and timing are also key to any great success.
     Our society believes that anything is possible，as long as you "believe".But not everyone can make it.Quitting when you're not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do.Obviously，if you enjoy a pursuit，regardless of its outcome，you should continue.If you knew your novel would never be published，would you want to write？If you could never be a champion swimmer，would you still train？Sometimes，it is wise to put your energy into something else.
     Failure is not always the path to success.Sometimes，failure is the door to something new.
  
  （1）What do we know about the author's old friend？

  
  A．He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.
  B．He switched his dream of acting to something else.
  C．He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.

  .
  A．explain how she achieved success in writing
  B．show that success doesn't happen to everyone
  C．prove that success favors those who are perseverant
  D．encourage readers to hold onto their dream until they succeed
  （3）What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Made out of their dreams.
  B．Met the required standard.
  C．Improved their performances.
  D．Promised to be good players.
  （4）What does the author advise us to do if we've failed many times？

  
  A．Make an effort to try new things.
  B．Stick to your goal until we succeed.
  C．Wait for the right time and good luck.
  D．Ask friends or family members for help.
  （5）What is the author's attitude toward perseverance？

  
  A．It makes anything possible.
  B．It is not necessary for success.

• 8．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
      I live with my husband in San Luis Obispo，California，about three miles from the beach.Every few years，the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while they're migrating.November 2020 was one of those times，so we took out our yellow double kayak（皮艇）to watch the wildlife.We paddled out the length of the pier（码头）and saw seals，dolphins，and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish.We were in awe watching these graceful giants—each one about 50 feet long—breach and spray through their blowholes.We laughed when they turned their side fins so that it looked as if they were waving at us.
      At the time，my friend Liz was staying with us.The next day，I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them.
      "No way，" said Liz，now 65.She was not an experienced kayaker and was terrified that the kayak would overturn while we were surrounded by hungry whales. "There's nothing to worry about，" I assured her. "The craft is stable，and we can turn back anytime.I've learned somewhere that whales have enormous mouths but tiny throats.Anything they can't swallow they spit right out." After some cajoling（劝诱），she finally agreed to join me.I didn't want her to miss this magnificent experience and regret it later.
      Liz and I got out on the water at 8：30 the following morning.There were already about 15 other kayakers and paddleboarders in the bay.It was warm for November，so we wore T-shirts and leggings.After a half-hour，we had our first whale sighting just past the pier：two humpbacks swimming toward us.How amazing to be that close to a creature that size，I thought as the whales dipped under the waterline.
      When whales go down after breaching，they leave what looks like an oil slick on the water.I figured if we paddled toward that spot，we'd be safe from the whales，since they'd just left.We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance.I later found out that it's recommended to keep 300 feet away.We were more like 60 feet away.
