2022 was another year for people all around the world to embrace the power and
inspiration of sports and for athletes to enjoy victory and progress. The past year, sports
brought honor and success as well as failure and frustration, all of which made the world
more exciting. Here are 3 memorable moments of sports in 2022.
Friendship
Gu Ailing and Chloe Kim had a heartwarming moment at the Beijing Winter Olympic
Games. Kim successfully defended the title and Gu was there to cheer her on. The US athlete
went over to Gu in the crowd to give her a huge hug, celebrating the precious moment
together.
Freestyle skier Gu Ailing, gaining two golds and a silver, has been the most-talked-about
athlete at the Beijing 2022 with her sweeping influence. Kim, the first woman to win two
snowboard halfpipe Olympic golds, has raised the women's halfpipe game to a whole new
level.
Celebration
Zhang Weili restored her career in New York as she reclaimed the Ultimate Fighting
Championship's strawweight title by defeating wrestling specialist Carla Esparza. Zhang first
won the strawweight belt in August 2019 in China before losing it to Rose Namajunas in her
second defense in April 2021.
“Every day I dreamed of this, my belt coming back. Now I feel like my dream (has come
true),” Zhang said emotionally in English in the post-fight interview.
Bhang became the first Chinese and only the third woman in the world to hold the
strawweight belt many times, joining Esparza and Namajunas who have both won it twice.
Victory
Argentina won thrilling World Cup final on penalties and Lionel Messi finally has the
title that he has lost for so long. But they did it the hard way after what will go down as one
of the greatest (if not the greatest) World Cup finals of all time.
Messi carried the team on his own shoulders for much of the tournament and scored twice
试卷第1页，共10页
in the final to finish the campaign with seven goals and three assists, a performance
comparable to that of Maradona in 1986.
Messi fell to his knees inside the center circle at Lusail stadium, happiness showed on
his face as his Argentina teammates ran towards him and then piled on top of him in cheerful
celebration.
This was the best glory of a career that already had everything except for a World Cup.

Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods.
The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater
reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves
her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (
仿真的
) view. This is what could
happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as
sea levels rise.
Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to
prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you
show people and convince them of a possible future?
Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to
climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it’s also the most important to
communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need
public support and input. That’s why Monroe and other residents are being directed to sit in
metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.
Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has
partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm
to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because

every person is different and every place is different.
The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step.
Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it’s real.
But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station,
says Juiano Calil, one of the program’s developers. ‘‘The goal,” he says, ‘‘is to start a
conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and
also discuss the trade-offs between them.”

A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can
improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(
注射
)and other
unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against
anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the
numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(
接种疫苗
)against COVID-19.
Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting
vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(
膨
胀
)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while
subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did
not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced
sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled
by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed
painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured
cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The
pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment
scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before
and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were
receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use
during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
12
．
What is the function of the robot?
A
．
To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B
．
To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C
．
To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D
．
To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
13
．
What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A
．
Detecting.
B
．
Increasing.
C
．
