B Ray is a physical education teacher at Central Algoma Secondary School. This year, most of their classes were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One day, Ray was talking to his daughter Sadie, who was set to graduate. The school was planning to have teachers hand-deliver diplomas to each student's home, but Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead. “I said, ‘Sure, I'll do that’. No problem. Is there anybody else who would like to receive their diploma on the stage?’”Ray said. “And she said, ‘Yeah, everybody would like to get their diploma on the stage.’” Moved, the creative dad got to work to make it happen — not just for his daughter, but for all of the graduating seniors! He spent about six hours one weekend building a portable (便携的) stage that he could pull behind his truck. He then got permission from the school, and they eagerly agreed to help make his mobile graduation mission a success. “It's such an important event for so many people.... It was almost like the first win that we've had in a year and a half after being beaten down,” Ray said. “We finally get to do this one thing that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.” Over the course of two days in late June, Ray traveled over 250 miles to give 72 graduates their big moment! Joel Lamoureux was one student who received his diploma on the portable stage. His mom, Krissie Lamoureux said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives. “It was extremely personal,” she added. “It's really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything.” All of the students were grateful to Ray and the school for creating a safe way to celebrate their accomplishments. 24．What inspired Ray to create the stage? A．The COVID-19 pandemic. B．His daughter's hope. C．The school's permission. D．The graduates' request. 25．What can we infer from Ray's words in Paragraph 5? A．He has won the competition. B．He has experienced many failures. C．His work is highly thought of. D．His work is of great significance. 26．What's Krissie Lamoureux's feeling about Ray's stage? A．Satisfied. B．Envious. C．Appreciative. D．Comfortable. 27．What’s the best title of this text? A．A Teacher Builds a Portable Stage B．A Different Celebration Is on Show C．A Personal Work Gains Popularity D．A Teacher Helps Deliver Diplomas C Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, a new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche （心理）, the research finds that personality traits （特征） are “contagious”（传染的） among children. “Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed,” said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co-author of the study. The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and the other a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize. The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease”. The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them. The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social “climate” in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise. Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem. 28．What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Leads to. B．Results from. C．Goes against. D．Agrees with. 29．Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace? A．Ignoring the faults of co-workers. B．Not sending emails to workmates. C．Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses. D．Not inviting a colleague to a company party. 30．What is the passage mainly about? A．One's personality is hard to change. B．One's personality is shaped by genes. C．One's personality traits can spread to others. D．One's personality traits can change overnight. 31．This passage is most probably taken from ________. A．a science journal B．a study guide C. a school textbook D. a science fiction D When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China. “I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives. “The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer. One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni. 32. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about? A. Cuisine of different countries. B. Exploration of famous restaurants. C. History of Chinese immigration. D. Stories of Chinese food and cooks. 33. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives? A It provides a wealthy life. B. It brings a sense of belonging. C. It helps them to accept new cultures. D. It enables them to forget the past. 34. What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4? A. She worked in a Chinese restaurant. B. She made most meals as a child. C. She learned cooking from her father. D. She lives with a big family. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cuisine Gains New Variations B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table C. Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US D. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Happy Happiness is a great goal to have, and it’s something you’ll need to work toward every day.
