Bess Kalb. C. Bess's mother. D. Bobby's mother. B     For years, life went something like this: We'd grow up in one place, head off to college, and then find a city to get a job and live there for a few years. The final goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But now some people are increasingly choosing to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.     Just ask Alex Chatzieleftheriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. And it aims to make each one feel unique and comfortable, rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.     Today, the company has 3,000 properties(房地产) in six U. S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzieleftheriou's native Athens, and a staff of 400. With the help of the Series B round of funding, the company landed $ 50 million, plus its previous total of $ 28 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years.     Chatzieleftheriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. "The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel," he says. "I had to spend five years in hotel rooms, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn't love feeling like I didn't have a home." And what's more, hotels aren't a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzieleftheriou's case, McKinsey sometimes paid $ 10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month. 4. What does the author intend to tell in the first paragraph? A. A new lifestyle is appearing. B. Life is just like a circle for people. C. Most people are used to an easy life. D. People live in different places in life. 5. What is the goal of Blueground? A.

It got a total investment of $ 78 million. B. Its business is anything but satisfying. C. It expanded to every comer of the world. D. It has 50,000 properties in 50 cities. 7. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. High costs of hotels. B. Chatzieleftheriou's former work. C. Strengths of Blueground. D. The inspiration for Blueground. C     I recall when I was young back in Canada, I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports. At odds with ray father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is not just an interest in spare time to keep us physically healthy and went as far as to shout that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"     As an adult, my teenage tendencies of overstatement may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just recreation for both participants and the audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with the pandemic(流行病) are proof of this. The changes caused by calling off all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur athletic programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social emotional impact is stronger. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for many people. Others are feeling they're in poor physical condition as well as they are struggling to overcome inactivity during these times.     But the human race is unbelievable and adaptable in hard situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support, love and laughter in these times. So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times, making valuable donations to people in need. Even in areas where people are separated from others, they are coining out on their balconies(阳台) and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them get involved. Other athletes are turning to online workout programmes for people to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way. And, in challenging conditions such as now, people are still able to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy. 8. What may the author's father agree on sports? A. It is a personal hobby. B. It affects social ties. C. It boosts confidence. D .It helps avoid wars. 9. What is the impact of cancelling sports on people? A. They become impatient and lonely. B. They communicate less with their family. C. They lose their social skills gradually. D. They are challenged physically and mentally. 10. How do athletes respond in this crisis? A. They are absorbed in the online world. B. They donate money to sports teams. C. They seek new ways to keep active. D. They engage in community service. 11. What does the text aim to tell us? A. A journey with sports matters to everyone. B. Sports' role keeps changing in different times. C. People's disagreement on sports is reasonable. D. Sports continues to offer strength in tough times. D     Studying how people move to music is a powerful tool for researchers looking to understand how and why music affects us the way it does. Over the last few years, researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland have used motion capture(运动捕捉) technology to learn that your dance moves say a lot about you, such as what mood you happen to be in, and even how much you understand other peopled feelings. Recently, however, they discovered something throwing them for a loop.     "We actually weren't looking for this result, as we set out to study something completely different," explains Dr. Emily Carlson, the first author of the study. " Our original idea was to see if we could use machines to identify which genre(类型) of music our participants were dancing to, based on their movements."     The 73 participants in the study were motion captured dancing to eight different genres. The only instruction they received was to listen to the music and move any way they felt natural. The researchers then analyzed their movements using machine learning, trying to distinguish between the musical genres. Unfortunately, their computer algorithm(算法) was able to identify the correct genre less than 30% of the time. They were shocked to discover, however, that the computer could correctly identify which of the 73 individuals was dancing 94% of the time. Left to chance (that is, if the computer had simply guessed without any information to go on), the expected accuracy would be less than 2%.     "It seems as though a person's dance movements are a kind of fingerprint," says Dr. Pasi Saari, co-author of the study and data analyst. "Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing." Some genres, however, had more effect on individual dance movements than others. The computer was less accurate in identifying individuals when they were dancing to Metal music. 12. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disappointing them. B. Convincing them. C. Astonishing them. D. Motivating them. 13. What did the researchers originally intend to find? A. What dance moves could say about people. B. Whether computers could tell dancers' music genres. C. How dance movements reflected one's personality. D. What effects music genres had on dance moves. 14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4? A. Dance movements depend on the kind of music. B. All music doesn’t have its specific dance moves. C. Computers are better at recognizing music genres. D.A persons dance style almost remains unchanged. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To inform readers of the finding of a study. B. To explain the link between dance and music. C. To stress the uniqueness of one's dance style. D. To show the difference between dance moves. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。     Both COVID-19 itself and the resulting economic crisis are global problems.
