Since the modern Olympics began in 1896, it has been held in more than 40 different cities. That gives Olympic fans quite a few possible travel destinations to choose!
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.

Nicholas Alston, 27, was barely a year into working as a flight attendant(服务人员) 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 Clutch 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 has a big kitchen.
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. The restaurant’s income is relatively stable.
D. Customers make good comments on his restaurant.
27. Which of the following can best describe Alston?
A. Demanding. B. Humorous. C. Ambitious. D. Caring.
C
Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. 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. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that 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 content of the interview.
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 impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
30. What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. 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 boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged
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.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. 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:

Laur is on the corner of ninth street, just across from Greenville gallery and next to the Rolledolph country club. It has a very nice atmosphere and even a karaoke stage. The company is paying for a free buffet and soft drinks, though you will have to pay for alcoholic drinks yourself.

Nicholas Alston, 27, was barely a year into working as a flight attendant(服务人员) 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 Clutch 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?

B. He has more time to run the restaurant.
C. The restaurant’s income is relatively stable.
D. Customers make good comments on his restaurant.

Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. 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. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that 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 content of the interview.
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 impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
30. What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. 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 boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明,频繁地使用社交媒体会给青少年造成心理危害,尤其对女孩的危害更加明显。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that 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.(这项研究采访了英国的1万名青少年。“我们发现社交媒体本身并不会造成伤害,但频繁使用社交媒体可能会干扰影响心理健康的活动,比如睡眠和锻炼,同时增加年轻人接触有害内容的机会,尤其是网络欺凌,”研究报告的合著者拉塞尔·维纳在一份声明中说)”可知,第二段主要介绍了这个研究的结果。故选C。
【29题详解】

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study.(研究人员指出,他们没有捕捉到参与者在这些网站上花费了多少时间,这是这项研究的一个局限性)”可知,这个研究的局限在于它没有监测参与者上网的时间。由此推知,这个研究是有不足之处的。故选A。

主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.(社交媒体的使用与抑郁有关,尤其是在青少年中。但一项新的研究认为,这个问题可能比专家们想象的要复杂得多)”可知,文章主要介绍了频繁地使用社交媒体尤其会给女孩造成心理危害。由此可知,文章最好的标题是“社交媒体的使用对女孩的影响尤其大”。故选B。
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.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“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.(经过你附近地区的鸟类数量在变化,它们迁徙的时间也在变化。注意到这些差异的观鸟者在理解气候变化和恶劣天气事件如何影响鸟类种群方面发挥了重要作用。)”以及后文可知,观鸟者发现迁徙的鸟类的数量和时间选择正在发生变化。故选D项。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.’(国家奥杜邦学会圣诞鸟类计数主任Geoff LeBaron表示,他亲眼目睹了气候变化的影响。他说:‘我小时候就一直是一名观鸟者。很明显,气候变化正在并将继续在全球范围内影响鸟类,这是一个问题,即它们是否能够适应气候对它们的影响。’)”可知,Geoff LeBaron认为这些鸟类的现状是令人担忧的。故选C项。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. 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.

Paragraph 2
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Meanwhile many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. 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 favourite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized that I should return 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.
【解析】
