To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden

and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.

Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed

their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise

$30,000 for some charities ( 慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown ( 隔离)

to end, but ended up making $70,000—which they gave way to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’

Community Foundation.

“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people

were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States.” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely

an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”

Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads,

and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling

back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.

In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black

bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.

When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they

flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from

home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.

24. What did the two brothers collect money for?

A. Setting up some charities. B. Helping to end the lockdown.

C. Completing their five-month walk. D. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.

25. Which word can best describe the two brothers?

A. Humorous. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Honest.

26. What happened to the brothers in Utah?

A. They met with a bear. B. They were interviewed.

C. They visited a naturalist. D. They were lost in the path.

27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. A Long Journey B. Walk with Love

C. A Proud Mother D. Adventure with Fun

C

Recent research discovered that a low-cost computer training program can help older persons drive less

dangerously.

“We developed a training program, called Drive Aware, which could be used by anyone who has a

computer,” says Jing Feng, co-author of the study and a professor of psychology at NC State. “Drive Aware

is a cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) training program for older persons that helps them notice traffic risks more

effectively. The purpose of our recent study was to see how much Drive Aware changes trainees’ driving

behaviors once they get behind the wheel.”

The researchers found 27 persons aged 65 and up to test Drive Aware. In a driving simulator (模拟器),

all of the study participants ( 参与者) experienced a basic driving exam. The “active training” group was

made up of nine of the study participants. Every two weeks, the active training group had two Drive Aware

trainings. A group of nine additional study participants was asked to take “passive training”. This group

watched videos of others receiving the Drive Aware instruction. This happened twice, with each lasting

about a week. The control group, which was made up of the remaining nine study participants, received no

training. After that, all 27 study participants performed a second driving exam in the simulator.

The study participants in the active training group experienced 25% fewer “unsafe incidents ( 事件)”

following the training, according to the researchers. There was no obvious change in the number of

dangerous incidents among study participants in the passive training and control groups.

“This testing was done with a fairly limited number of study participants,” Feng says. “If we can succeed

in getting the fund, we’d like to further our testing with more people to clearly prove how effective this

training is at reducing accidents among older drivers.”

28. What does the underlined phrase "get behind the wheel" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Take a risk. B. Start a program. C Drive a car. D. Use a computer.

29. What was the “passive training” group required to do?

A. Experience no training. B. Receive two Drive Aware trainings.

C. Take three driving tests. D. Observe videos of Drive Aware trainings.

30. How did the researchers arrive at their testing result?

A. By quoting former figures. B. By investigating car accidents.

C. By operating the driving simulator. D. By comparing participants’ performances.

31. What is Feng’s attitude towards the testing?

A. Unclear. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.

D

Lapland’s reindeer (驯鹿) grow well in winters of -300C and even colder. So when rain falls instead of

snow during the coldest months in the Arctic, it makes food hard to get for them. Now one of the best-loved

symbols of Christmas is probably dying out. Numbers have fallen by over half in the last two decades as

the place warms at four times the global average rate.

The animals are used to pull sleigh ( 雪 橇 ) rides for tourists. The rides are part of Lapland winter

wonderland experiences in thousands of British tourists each year. But this year the working herd had to be

moved 60 miles further north due to the absence of snow. As a result,they can’t be provided in some areas,

making it hard for people to earn a living.

Lapland is often described as Europe’s last great wilderness, home to lynxes, brown bears, wolverines

and golden eagles. Tourism is a big part of the economy, and the town of Rovaniemi is also the “official

home of Santa Claus”. But changing climate ( 气 候 ) is threatening its tourism industry. A report by The

Finnish Climate Change Panel warns of flooding and increased rainfall, with Rovaniemi most at risk. Firms

that rely on snow “will have great effects on visit levels” and these industries may be forced further north.

Erkkila of the Arctic Husky Park in Rovaniemi says: “Tourists see pictures of the Santa Claus village

covered in snow and when they get here they think, ‘Is this the winter wonderland?’.” The Husky Park

bought a wheeled cart (车) six years ago as a replacement for sleigh rides when the snow fails.

In the past it was thought the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. But a report

published last week by scientists showed the rate is actually four times the global average.

32. What causes the drop in Lapland’s reindeer population?

A. Cold winter. B. Polluted habitats.

C. Heavy snow. D. Rising temperatures.

33. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Rides B. Animals. C. Experiences D. Tourists

34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Lapland is home to various wildlife. B. Increased rainfall threatens Rovaniemi.

C. Rovaniemi is official home of Santa Claus. D. Changing climate affects Lapland’s tourism.

35. What does Erkkila say about tourists to Rovaniemi?

A. They feel excited. B. They are disappointed.

C. They enjoy themselves. D. They prefer wheeled carts.

第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 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。

As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is

not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 36

Language learning is hard.

It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 37 What you mostly need to do is

spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you

feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.

38

No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than

one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to

speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude

that determines success.

You have to live where the language is spoken.

Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet

people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while

living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. 39 You can download it to your iPod and listen.

Where you live is not a problem.

I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.

How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk? 40

Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you

believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.

I believe if you can avoid these traps, we will surely become masters of language learning.

A. The following are some tips for you to follow.

B. You have to have a gift for learning languages.

C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult

D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings

E. Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.

F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your iPod?

G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer.

Recent research discovered that a low-cost computer training program can help older persons drive less

dangerously.

“We developed a training program, called Drive Aware, which could be used by anyone who has a

computer,” says Jing Feng, co-author of the study and a professor of psychology at NC State. “Drive Aware

is a cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) training program for older persons that helps them notice traffic risks more

effectively. The purpose of our recent study was to see how much Drive Aware changes trainees’ driving

behaviors once they get behind the wheel.”

The researchers found 27 persons aged 65 and up to test Drive Aware. In a driving simulator (模拟器),

all of the study participants ( 参与者) experienced a basic driving exam. The “active training” group was

made up of nine of the study participants. Every two weeks, the active training group had two Drive Aware

trainings. A group of nine additional study participants was asked to take “passive training”. This group

watched videos of others receiving the Drive Aware instruction. This happened twice, with each lasting

about a week. The control group, which was made up of the remaining nine study participants, received no

training. After that, all 27 study participants performed a second driving exam in the simulator.

The study participants in the active training group experienced 25% fewer “unsafe incidents ( 事件)”

following the training, according to the researchers. There was no obvious change in the number of

dangerous incidents among study participants in the passive training and control groups.

“This testing was done with a fairly limited number of study participants,” Feng says. “If we can succeed

in getting the fund, we’d like to further our testing with more people to clearly prove how effective this

training is at reducing accidents among older drivers.”

28. What does the underlined phrase "get behind the wheel" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Take a risk. B. Start a program. C Drive a car. D. Use a computer.

29. What was the “passive training” group required to do?

A. Experience no training. B. Receive two Drive Aware trainings.

C. Take three driving tests. D. Observe videos of Drive Aware trainings.

30. How did the researchers arrive at their testing result?

A. By quoting former figures. B. By investigating car accidents.

C. By operating the driving simulator. D. By comparing participants’ performances.

31. What is Feng’s attitude towards the testing?

A. Unclear. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.

D

Lapland’s reindeer (驯鹿) grow well in winters of -300C and even colder. So when rain falls instead of

snow during the coldest months in the Arctic, it makes food hard to get for them. Now one of the best-loved

symbols of Christmas is probably dying out. Numbers have fallen by over half in the last two decades as

the place warms at four times the global average rate.

The animals are used to pull sleigh ( 雪 橇 ) rides for tourists. The rides are part of Lapland winter

wonderland experiences in thousands of British tourists each year. But this year the working herd had to be

moved 60 miles further north due to the absence of snow. As a result,they can’t be provided in some areas,

making it hard for people to earn a living.

Lapland is often described as Europe’s last great wilderness, home to lynxes, brown bears, wolverines

and golden eagles. Tourism is a big part of the economy, and the town of Rovaniemi is also the “official

home of Santa Claus”. But changing climate ( 气 候 ) is threatening its tourism industry. A report by The

Finnish Climate Change Panel warns of flooding and increased rainfall, with Rovaniemi most at risk. Firms

that rely on snow “will have great effects on visit levels” and these industries may be forced further north.

Erkkila of the Arctic Husky Park in Rovaniemi says: “Tourists see pictures of the Santa Claus village

covered in snow and when they get here they think, ‘Is this the winter wonderland?’.” The Husky Park

bought a wheeled cart (车) six years ago as a replacement for sleigh rides when the snow fails.

In the past it was thought the Arctic was warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. But a report

published last week by scientists showed the rate is actually four times the global average.

32. What causes the drop in Lapland’s reindeer population?

A. Cold winter. B. Polluted habitats.

C. Heavy snow. D. Rising temperatures.

33. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Rides B. Animals. C. Experiences D. Tourists

34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Lapland is home to various wildlife. B. Increased rainfall threatens Rovaniemi.

C. Rovaniemi is official home of Santa Claus. D. Changing climate affects Lapland’s tourism.

35. What does Erkkila say about tourists to Rovaniemi?

A. They feel excited. B. They are disappointed.

C. They enjoy themselves. D. They prefer wheeled carts.

As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is

not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 36

Language learning is hard.

It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 37 What you mostly need to do is

spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you

feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.

38

No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than

one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to

speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude

that determines success.

You have to live where the language is spoken.

Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet

people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while

living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. 39 You can download it to your iPod and listen.

Where you live is not a problem.

I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.

How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk? 40

Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you

believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.

I believe if you can avoid these traps, we will surely become masters of language learning.

A. The following are some tips for you to follow.

B. You have to have a gift for learning languages.

C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult

D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings

E. Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.

F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your iPod?

G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer.
