8.【2021年河南信阳高一上学期期末考试英语试卷】 Wembley Stadium，London，28th May 2011，the 54th minute of the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United — and the ball，again，was with Lionel Messi，this time about 25 metres from the United goal. United players had been sticking to him，but now，losing concentration for a moment，they gave him a couple of metres of space. Messi made full use of that chance and scored Barcelona's second goal in what would finally be a 3﹣1 victory. Most football experts say Messi has the potential to become the best footballer of all time—a title they usually give either to the Brazilian Pelé or the Argentinian Diego Maradona. Some have even suggested he is already the greatest ever. Born in Argentina in 1987，Messi shares some similarities with Maradona. Messi is also short （1. 70 metres） and has a great ability to dribble—he can run around or through the opposition （对手） with the ball under his control. There are physical differences，however：Maradona was very strong，but Messi is not. When he got into the Barcelona first team at the age of 17，at first sight，he looked less like a professional footballer than a teenage fan. But he gave a different impression as soon as he touched the ball. There is a very good reason for Messi's figure. When he was a boy in Argentina，doctors believed he might not grow taller than 1. 5 metres because of some illness. His parents could not afford the expensive treatment （治疗） the doctors recommended，so they hoped a major football club，seeing his potential，would sign him and agree to pay for it. That is exactly what happened when the 13﹣year﹣old Messi flew to Spain to have a trial with Barcelona. The coach watching the trial was so amazed that he wanted Messi to join the club immediately，but he didn't have a contract （合同） for him to sign. In fact，he didn't even have a piece of paper. Messi's first contract with Barcelona was written on a napkin （纸巾）.
(1) Why does the author mention the Champions League final in Paragraph 1？ ________
A. To show his love for football games.B. To explain how Messi became famous.C. To show Messi's excellent performances.D. To explain how Barcelona won the game.
(2) What can we say about Messi from Paragraph 3？ ________
A. He has great football skills.B. He is greater than Maradona.C. He should learn from Maradona.D. He is the best footballer in his team.
(3) Why did Messi's parents agree to Barcelona signing him？ ________
A. The club was their only choice.B. Playing for the club was Messi's dream.C. Messi could make a good living as a footballer.D. The club could pay for Messi's medical service.
(4) What do we know about Messi's first contract with Barcelona？ ________
A. It ended one year later.B. It was not prepared ahead of time.C. It meant he would play for its first team.D. It was signed after a lot of consideration.
9.【2021年河南信阳高一上学期期末考试英语试卷】 A crocodile （鳄鱼） in Uganda gently moves her babies into her mouth. Behind her frightening teeth，she carefully holds the babies and carries them to a nearby river. But what the crocodile doesn't realize is that one of the babies in her mouth is not a real baby. It's a robot with a hidden camera in one eye. The robot is one of 34 lifelike creations designed to secretly record animal behavior （行为） for the PBS Nature miniseries Spy （间谍） in the Wild. Director John Downer says these spy cameras have taken people deeper into the wild than ever before. But he believes the series is more than entertainment （娱乐）. "It's all about feeling close to wildlife，" Downer told TFK. By understanding their behavior，we can understand animals in a way that's really good. It can help us to pay more attention to animals，and finally to take care of them. " Downer worked with film﹣makers，scientists，and engineers to create the lifelike spy cameras. Each was built to make realistic （逼真的） movements and noises. This allows the robots to more easily infiltrate the animal world. For example，Downer s team built a wild﹣dog spy that takes a bow when meeting other dogs. It's a way of relaxing other animals. According to producer Rob Pilley，their realistic appearance allows the spy cameras to catch surprising animal behaviors in the wild. "We see the animals doing things that scientists have never seen before，" he says. In a filming first，a spy robot caught a chimp caring for an abandoned （丢弃的） baby cat. "The chimp tried to keep it and protect it against the other chimps，" says Downer. His team has shared such parts of the films with scientists. The goal is to help them to do the scientific research. When it comes to Spy in the Wild for raising awareness about the natural world，Cullen Hanks，a biologist at Cornell University，says， "It's taking people closer to wildlife and helping them connect with nature. "

A study shows that in some states，teens find it much easier to get junk food. In Utah，for example，more than four out of five high schools sell candies and more than three out of four sell high﹣fat，salty snacks.

" In a study of high schools in 25 states and nine cities，the percentage of high schools selling junk food during lunch periods dropped from 53 percent in 2016 to about 37 percent in 2018.

Sales from vending machines，and snack bars come directly to schools without strings （附带条件） by state or city school systems. Faced with increasing financial pressures，schools are tempted （诱惑） to make deals with the junk food companies. However，the success some schools have achieved set others a good example. "In some places，schools are selling healthier choices and continuing to bring in revenue （收入），" Wechsler says. "The great progress made in these states shows that changes are possible to make.
