That gives Olympic fans quite a few possible travel destinations to choose from! Beijing, China Olympic fans should consider visiting the Beijing Olympic Park to check out the special buildings of the so-called “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube”—the national stadium and aquatics center built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Popular historic places in Beijing include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and Tian’anmen Square.

B Nicholas Alston, 27, was barely a year into working as a flight attendant when the pandemic influenced the travel industry. By November 2020, due to budget cuts and decreased service, he had taken a voluntary leave of absence. Alston once worked as a clerk in a food processing factory before becoming a flight attendant in 2019. So when the pandemic slowed his flying schedule, he took it as a sign to revisit his goal of opening a restaurant—a passion project of his since college. In December 2020, he launched his very own restaurant business—Clutch Handheld Breakfast—a one-person operation that he ran from a so-called ghost kitchen or a cooking facility that produced food only for delivery and takeout with no dine-in areas. In May 2021, Alston returned to flying full-time and kept a busy schedule. He would report to work at the Detroit Metro Airport on Fridays, fly around the country through Tuesday, return to Detroit and immediately go to Columbus to start service for his restaurant, which he operated on Thursday and Friday mornings. Alston intended to increase his flying hours to save money and move onto the next period of his business plan: Buying a food trailer. He plans to gather customers’ feedback in 2021. “I know it’s going to take a little bit of time,” Alston says of his business plan. Eventually, he hopes to grow capable enough to hire more employees and expand into new locations. So far, the best learning experience has been hearing positive feedback from his customers, which keeps him motivated. He says, “This is my passion, and one of these days, it’s going to be a profitable business”. 24. Where did Alston work before 2019? A. In a restaurant. B. In a travel agency. C. In an airline company. D. In the food industry. 25. What can we learn about Alston’s restaurant? A. It opens part-time. B. It is a chain store. C. It provides dining space. D. It serves in a food trailer. 26. Why is Alston confident in his business? A. The travel industry will recover soon. B. He has more time to run the restaurant. C. Customers speak highly of his restaurant. D. The restaurant’s income is relatively stable. 27. Which of the following can best describe Alston? A. Demanding. B. Ambitious. C. Humorous. D. Creative. C Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think. The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt activities that positively impact mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement. Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.” The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said. The researchers found that, in both sexes, very frequent social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was. But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm. “It’s an important distinction,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.” 28．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The risk of cyberbullying. B．The report of the statement. C．The findings of the research. D．The functions of social media. 29．What did Bob Patton mainly tell us? A．The need to fight against mental harm. B．The proper way to improve mental health. C．The benefit of limiting social media use. D．The impact of social media use on people. 30．What can we know about the research? A．It had shortcomings. B．It needed more attention. C．It was the first in its class. D．It was difficult to carry out. 31．Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A．The research on teenage girls B．The harm of using social media C．Social interactions are encouraged D．Social media use influences girls especially D The number of birds coming through your neighborhood is changing, and so is the timing of their migrations (迁徙). Birdwatchers noticing these differences are playing a big part in understanding how climate change and severe weather events are affecting bird population. John Rowden is director of community conservation at the National Audubon Society, which aims to protect birds and their environment. He said, “Birders have to be much more alert (警觉的) to when birds are coming through than they used to be, since birds may be coming through much earlier or much later.” Rowden said, “Birdwatchers are increasingly seeing birds in their areas that are usually found elsewhere. And they are seeing fewer of the birds that usually travel through. Although we have seen these birds, it doesn’t mean they’ll always be there. They are declining in numbers because we’re throwing so many things at them, so we need to do what we can to help them.” “At least 314 species of American birds are expected to lose 50 percent or more of their range by the end of the century. Those species are listed by the Audubon Society as climate-threatened or endangered,” Rowden added. Environmentalists say there are a few easy steps people can take to help struggling bird populations. These include planting native species, which leads to more native insects for the birds to eat. During spring and fall migration seasons, people can help migrating birds by keeping outdoor lights turned off and covering reflective surfaces like large windows. People also should make indoor plants less visible to passing birds. Geoff LeBaron, director of the Christmas Bird Count at the National Audubon Society, says he has seen the effects of climate change firsthand. “I’ve been a birder since I was a little kid,” he said. “It’s clear that climate change is affecting and will continue to affect birds on a global scale, and it’s a question of whether or not they can adapt to what the climate is throwing at them.” 32．What do the birdwatchers find? A．Local birds are increasing in their areas. B．50 percent of American birds have disappeared. C．Climate change affects animal population greatly. D．The number and timing of migrating birds are changing. 33．Why do the birdwatchers have to be more alert? A．To deal with climate change. B．To do research on bird population. C．To watch the migrating birds in time. D．To help birds migrate successfully. 34．Which paragraph mainly focuses on the ways to help the birds? A．Paragraph 5. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 2. 35．What does Geoff LeBaron think of the birds’ situation? A．It’s hopeless. B．It’s normal. C．It’s worrying. D．It’s promising. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. ____36____ Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, and I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop. Picking up the sweet fragrance, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?” “But...but I do not carry money..."I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said. “Come in, I will cook you a bowl,” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked, “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!” The seller sighed, “girl, why do you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?” I was really surprised after hearing that. Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. I thought she was supposed to take care of me and love me. On the way home, I thought in my head what I would say to my mother when I arrived home: “Mom, I'm sorry, I know it is my fault, please forgive me." 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右： 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Meanwhile, many memories came back into my mind.

When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized I should go back home immediately and say sorry to my mother. When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said: “Oh honey, thank God you're back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry. I cooked your favorite noodles; come and eat while they are still hot, “No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms, “I'm sorry, Mom. Please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
