By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.” 1. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed. 2. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success? A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working. C. His passion for snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success. 3. Which of the following words can best describe Su? A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive. C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted. 4. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future? A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful. B During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), many people feel lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic (流行病),” said John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US. So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the pandemic. According to their new study, reduced loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both attention and skill. “When people pay all their attention to what they are doing, they enter a state called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. “Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we value and that require us to focus fully to use our skills.” To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a new computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re possible to feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. But if the task is too easy, then you will feel bored and “flow” will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are. “When we enter a state of flow, we become attentive and focused, and we experience short enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.” However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges. “People become and continue to be strong on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.” 5. In his study, Dattilo wanted to find out_________. A. why people like new challenges B. how to reduce loneliness C. why people feel lonely D. how to be strong 6. How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state? A. They are lonely and bored. B. They feel stressed and tired. C. They are focused and happy. D. They feel time passes too quickly. 7. Which activity is possible to help people achieve flow? A. Drawing. B. Watching TV. C. Chatting. D. Eating nuts. 8. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To share a healthy lifestyle. B. To introduce the state of flow. C. To show ways to stay more positive. D. To draw people’s attention to loneliness. 四、完形填空(共15小题：每题2分, . 满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 A father gifted his daughter an old car at graduation.
