36-year-old Joey Chestnut won the Hot Dog Eating Contest with a world record of eating 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes in Brooklyn, in New York City, on July 4, 2020.

The Hot Dog Eating Contest started by Major League Eating (MLE) has been on for years. There were about 35 million viewers online in the US and Canada this year.

For coronavirus safety, the 5 eaters stood at a nine-meter-long table, compared to the typically 15. All the eaters wore face masks right up to their first bite. At last, Chestnut beat others with great difficulties.

Chestnut started competitive eating in 2005 while he was a university student in California. His first major victory came that spring when he wolfed down three kilograms of fried vegetables in 11 minutes and 30 seconds. He won the right for his first hot dog-eating contest two months later and ate 32 hot dogs.

By 2011, Chestnut began to focus full-time on training, perfecting the skills pausing his fast eating with short drinking of water.

Over the past years, Chestnut has become the greatest competitive eater of all time, breaking 49 records officially recognized by MLE. Among them are 141 hard-boiled eggs in eight minutes and 121 cakes in six minutes.

Chestnut won lots of money from the competitions, and he gave the money to charity programs. Chestnut said, “My biggest goal is to win enough money to build and fix my old primary school. I first discovered I had a talent for eating, so I’d like to give something back.” ( ) 66. ________, a lot of people watched the contest online in the US and Canada.

A. For a serious competition B. For a new record ( ) 67. From the passage, we know ________.

A. Chestnut broke 49 records of eating hot dogs

B. Chestnut and the other 4 eaters joined the competition last year C. Chestnut has been a competitive hot dog eater for over 15 years ( ) 68. The five eaters stood ________ next to each other this year.

A. 1.80 meters

B. 2.25 meters

C. 3.75 meters

( ) 69. Which of the following questions is answered in the passage?

A. Why did MLE hold this competition? B. How many records did Joey Chestnut break? C. When did Joey Chestnut start eating hot dogs?

( ) 70. The reasons why Chestnut could break so many records are ________.

COVID-19 has forced us to stay at home for a long time. People often feel lonely and bored. But are there any ways for us to make it better? Yes! Reading these passages may help a lot.

B. ③④⑤

C.

②④⑥

C. For coronavirus safety

Many people find themselves staying at home, bored and lonely. But looking at the history, many great people produced their best works when they were alone, like Elbert Einstein, Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, three of the greatest physicists in history. Henry Thoreau is an example in America. As he wrote: I never found anything more helpful than loneliness. It allows you to be a Columbus to a whole new world inside,” One advantage of staying alone is that you’ll have enough quiet and free time. Secondly, being alone also forces us to pay more attention to the details of life and things around that we wouldn’t normally see, which helps us think more deeply. A documentary film named Pot of Fire was recently released (发布). Showing different styles and tastes of hotpot from all over the country, it allows internet users to “enjoy” hotpot together online. Only hotpot can show how much Chinese people like to get together to enjoy happiness. Different ingredients cater to (适应) different tastes. When people sit around a table to eat, chat and drink, they feel relaxed. As a popular saying goes, “There’s nothing to worry about after having hotpot. If you are still worried, then go for it twice.” So if you feel lonely, why not cook some hotpot to fill both your stomach and your heart? As the biggest part, together with Scotland and Wales, they make up the island of Great Britain. When you include Northern Ireland we call it the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Over 50 million people live there. That’s around 80 percent of the UK’s total population. More than 250 languages are spoken in London. Outside the big cities, it is a very green country and has many beautiful areas in the countryside. People there love music. They listen to all types of music, especially pop and rock. Many international groups and singers there like the Beatles and Adele are very popular around the world. People there love sports, too. Football is one of their favorites.

( ) 71. The writer thinks being alone may not be so bad because it may ________.

A. help people think deeper and get better

B. offer people chances to become great people like Einstein C. allow people to be a Columbus to travel to a whole new world ( ) 72. The underlined sentence in Passage Two means ________.

A. going for a hotpot twice will make your less worried B. with the release of Pot of Fire, people can enjoy hotpot online C. eating hotpot is really a very good way to lower people’s pressure ( ) 73. From Passage Three, we can know that ________.

A. it’s a good idea to have a trip to cheer up

B. learning or travelling can still happen without going out

A. Thoreau thinks being alone can be helpful

B. Chinese like getting together to enjoy hotpot happily C. the place mentioned in Passage Three must be England ( ) 75. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Let’s fight back COVID-19 in a different way.

B. Tips for making our life colorful during the outbreak of COVID-19. C. COVID-19 leads to the popularity of hotpot, traveling and being alone.
