I always wanted to be extraordinary at something. Not just as in, “Great job, Jimbo!” No, I wanted to be best-in-class, awe-inspiring, tiptop; a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps or Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools.
Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans. What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose(剂量)of it. Why couldn’t I be like Bernie William, the famed New Yorkees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso(艺术大师)?
Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you don’t.
I’ve heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectation.
Hope bends, it seems.
24. What does the word “delusional” in Para2 most probably mean?
A. Imaginary B. Realistic C. Abstract D. Practical
25. In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as ______
A. a world-famous genius B. a mid-sized fish in a small pond
C. a world-class virtuoso D. a student in an ivy-league school
26. According to the writer, what makes “greatness”?
A. Extraordinary efforts. B. Ten thousand hours of practice.
C. Raw talent. D. Talent and time.
27. Which of the following might be the best title ?
A. Hope Bends B. Frustrating Decades
C. Practice Works D. Youthful Expectation
C
Next-generation fitness equipment and robots help you cook dinner. Those are a few  of the countless new products expected  to  be shown next week at CES, the annual tech conference  that typically sets the tone for the biggest trends of the year. Home automation (自动化), health and 5G will once again be hot topics, but many 
companies will also introduce pandemic-specific features to reflect our increased time at home.
  Each year, reporters, exhibitors and investors typically explore Las Vegas showrooms filled with giant TVs, smart cars and robots, but CES will be online only for the first time in its 54-year history due to Covid-19.
  The Consumer Technology  Association, the nonprofit behind the four-day event starting Monday, said 1,800 
exhibitors from around the world will fill its “digital venue” this year—a number that’s down significantly from 4,000 in-person exhibitors last year. The move will allow tech companies from countries which have never attended before to take part in the online exhibition, but could also make it harder for smaller companies to get noticed 
without a physical showroom.
Registered attendees will be able to stream and re-watch keynotes from companies such as Verizon (VZ) and 
General Motors (GM), tune in to breakout sessions —about how, for example, technology is playing a role in 
vaccine deployment (疫苗的应用) — and search through a registry of exhibitors to watch new product 
presentations.
It’ll lack some of the signature ingredients (因素) of the trade show, such as hands-on time with the latest
small machines and networking. But the technology that makes our lives more connected and convenient will still

gain popularity.
28. What are the new products mainly connected with? 
A. People’s daily life. B. Everyday busy work.
C. The popularity of 5G. D. Countless housework.
29. What do we know about the tech conference? 
A. It takes place every two years. B. It attracts fewer exhibitors this year.
C. It is held mainly on the Internet. D. It prohibits small companies to attend.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the move? 
A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Casual.
31. Where is the text possibly from?
A. A brochure. B. A textbook C. A newspaper. D. A guidebook.
D
Artemis is NASA’s new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemis program, NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways, and prepare for human missions to Mars.
NASA’s new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. Then, astronauts will dock (对接) Orion at a small spaceship called the Gateway, from which the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system, and then return to the Gateway. The crew will return to the Earth aboard Orion.
NASA will test the rocket and spacecraft in flight, then send a crew for a test flight:
Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft with no crew.
Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orion with a crew past the Moon, then circle it and return to the Earth. This trip will be the farthest any human has gone into space.
Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first woman and the next man to land on the Moon by 2024. The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Moon’s South Pole. No one has ever been there.
At the Moon, astronauts will:
Search for the Moon’s water and use it.
Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body (天体) where astronauts are just three days from home.
Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars, which can take up-to three years round trip.
The Moon is a good place to learn new science. NASA will learn more about the Moon, the Earth and even the Sun. The Moon is a “test bed” for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from the Earth on Mars for long periods of time.
32. What is the aim of the Artemis program?
A. To help astronauts return to the Earth.
B. To be ready for the landing on Mars.
C. To study the Mars using new science.
D. To test the Moon landing spacecraft, Orion.
33. Which will be the achievement of the Artemis series?
A. Going to the Moon’s South Pole. B. Making the farthest trip into space.
C. Sending the first man to the Moon. D. Flying to the Moon with three persons.
34. What will Artemis astronauts do on the Moon?
A. Send astronauts to Mars. B. Run a three-year-long test.
C. Find and make use of water. D. Learn to live not far from home.
35. What can we conclude from the text?
A. It is possible to live on another planet now.
B. The crew will reach the lunar surface from the Orion.
C. NASA has sent the first woman astronaut to the Moon.
D. The Artemis program is of great help to Mars exploring.

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。
Recently, many arguments between anxious parents and children on the use of mobile phones have hit the headlines. According to a survey, children’s addiction to online games is closely related to parent-child relations:
36 . To keep children away from smartphones, parents have to reflect on their own behavior and apply themselves to building harmonious parent-kid relationships.
First, parents should not be overly upset or annoyed when their kids play video games. Online games are one of the most popular pastimes for students. And it’s unfair for parents to blame smartphones for all he problems of their children, including poor performance, lack of ambition and inactive lifestyles. 37 .
38 . Research shows children treated as equals in the family are more aware of the negative effects of online games. Those parents who respect their children’s opinions and pay attention to their needs can set family rules with the help of their children. 39 And in such an atmosphere, children may be open about their thoughts and needs, and talk to their parents about what they really feel.
Last but not least, parents should spend time with their children. 40 . So parents have to find time for their kids instead of saying they are too busy with work or ignoring their kids’ feelings.
In a word, developing good parent-kid relations is an effective way to keep or draw kids away from smartphones.
A. There are some other problems that deserve parents’ attention.
B. Besides, some of the problems should be left for time to solve.
C. What’s more, it is advisable to adopt a friendly way of parenting.
D. Such problems existed even when smartphones and video games were not invented.
E. The better the relationship is, the less likely a kid is to be addicted to online games.
F. Family members can also smooth out their differences and reach consensuses together.
G. Actually, the most valuable gift for their kids is time, not money or expensive presents.
