B
Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management.
After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself.
Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.
But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead, he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well.
In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
“How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”
34. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby?
A. It ensured him a bachelor’s degree.
B. It developed his potential to become a doctor.
C. It brought about positive transition in his life.
D. It satisfied his childhood curiosity about doctors.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 3?
A. To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school.
B. To introduce Allamby’s family background.
C. To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream.
D. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood.
36. What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words?
A. He appreciated Allamby’s courage.
B. He recognized Allamby’s capability.
C. He suggested Allamby should aim lower.
D. He thought Allamby was too old to be a doctor.
37. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Education holds the key to success.
C. A tough man can bear great suffering.
D. It’s never too late to pursue your dream.
【答案】34. C 35. C 36. B 37. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出身贫寒的Carl Allamby在年近50岁的时候克服重重困难，实现了自己儿时的医生梦。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.(在2015年，Allamby与他的过去断绝了联系，然后他开始在东北俄亥俄医科大学工作。2019年，Carl Allamby成为Carl Allamby医学博士。他在克利夫兰诊所阿克伦总医院找到了一份急诊医学工作)”可推知，学生物学对Allamby来说是“发生过的最好的事情”是因为这给他的生活带来了积极的转变。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd,” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.(Allamby出生在俄亥俄州的东克利夫兰，他的母亲是全职主妇，父亲是挨家挨户推销家居用品的。他的学校没有提供可能让他走上医学预科之路的高级科学课程。即便如此，在学校表现良好也可能是危险的。“如果你只是班里的书呆子，你可能会惹上很多麻烦，”Allamby说。所以他把当医生的念头搁在一边，开始修车)”可推知，作者写第3段的目的是来解释为什么Allamby曾经放弃了他的梦想。故选C项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him ”Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” (但是Allamby的化学教授告诉他：“为什么不去当医生呢？你对这项工作很有天赋。你会大有作为的。”)”可知，从化学教授的话中我们知道他认识到Allamby的能力。故选B项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”(“有多少人能在生命的晚期做一些如此全新的事情？”他说。“我的年龄和过去的职业生涯都是我不应该在这里的好理由。然而，我却在这里。”)”可推知，Allamby的故事主要告诉了我们追求梦想永远都不晚。故选D项。
C
Avoiding unseen food hazards (危害) is the reason people often check the dates on food packaging. And printed with the month and the year is often one of the following phrases: “best by”, “use by”, “best if used before”, “best if used by”, “guaranteed fresh until” and “freeze by”.
People think of them as expiration dates, or the date at which a food should go in the trash bin. But the dates have little to do with when food becomes less safe to eat. I am a microbiologist and I have studied the spread of bacteria (细菌) in food. A more science-based food dating system could make it easier for people to differentiate foods they can safely eat from those that could be hazardous.
It’s reported that in 2020 the average American household spent 12 percent of its income on food, but a lot of the food is simply thrown away, despite being perfectly safe to eat. And nearly 31 percent of all available food is never consumed. The current food dating system may be to blame for the problem.
It’s logical to believe that date labels are there for safety reasons, since the USA government enforces rules including printing nutrition and ingredient information on food packaging. The dates on those food packages, however, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Rather came from food producers.
A food brand may survey consumers in a focus group to pick a “use by ” date that is six months after the product was produced because 60 percent of the focus group no longer liked the taste after six months. Smaller manufacturers of a similar food might play copycat and put the same date on their products.
One industry group, the Food Marketing Institute and Grocery Manufacturers Association, suggests that its members mark food “best if used by” to indicate how long the food is safe to eat, and “use by” to indicate when food becomes unsafe. But using these marks is voluntary and often causes consumer confusion.
A joint study by the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic and the National Resources Defense Council recommends the elimination (取消) of dates aimed at consumers. Instead, it suggests manufacturers and distributors use “production” or “pack” dates, along with “sell by” dates, aimed at supermarkets and other retailers. The dates would indicate to retailers the amount of time a product will remain at high quality.
38. What does the author think of the current food dating system?
A. It is not scientific enough.
B. It is no better than the old one.
C. It leads to more food hazards.
D. It will fall out of use some day.
39. What does the underlined part “the problem” refer to?
A. Food poisoning.
B. High food cost.
C. Food waste.
D. Poor food quality.
40. Why does the text mention the examples in paragraphs 5 and 6?
A. To present a fact.
B. To explain a rule.
C. To reveal a secret.
D. To make a comparison.
41. What is the text mainly about?
A. A warning to food producers.
B. A better way to label food dates.
C. The science behind food date labels.
D. The dark side of current food date labels.
【答案】38. A 39. C 40. A 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉读者食品包装上的日期并不受食品和药物管理局的监管，而是来自食品生产商。作者建议取消针对消费者的日期。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“People think of them as expiration dates, or the date at which a food should go in the trash bin. But the dates have little to do with when food becomes less safe to eat. I am a microbiologist and I have studied the spread of bacteria (细菌) in food. A more science-based food dating system could make it easier for people to differentiate foods they can safely eat from those that could be hazardous. (人们认为它们是保质期，或者食物应该扔进垃圾桶的日期。但日期与食物何时变得不安全无关。我是一名微生物学家，我研究了细菌在食物中的传播。一个更科学的食品测年系统可以让人们更容易区分他们可以安全食用的食物和那些可能有害的食物。)”可知，作者认为需要一个更科学的食品测年系统，也就是说目前的食品测年系统并不科学。故选A。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“It’s reported that in 2020 the average American household spent 12 percent of its income on food, but a lot of the food is simply thrown away, despite being perfectly safe to eat. And nearly 31 percent of all available food is never consumed.(据报道，2020年，美国家庭平均将收入的12%花在食物上，但很多食物被扔掉了，尽管它们吃起来非常安全。在所有可用的食物中，有近31%从未被食用。)”可知，这里指的问题是指食物浪费的问题。故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后“The dates on those food packages, however, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Rather came from food producers. (然而，这些食品包装上的日期不受食品和药物管理局的监管。而是来自食品生产商。)”以及第五段“food brand may survey consumers in a focus group to pick a ”use by“ date that is six months after the product was produced because 60 percent of the focus group no longer liked the taste after six months. (一个食品品牌可能会在一个焦点群体中调查消费者，以选择产品生产后6个月的“使用日期”，因为焦点群体中60%的人在6个月后不再喜欢这种味道。)”和第六段“One industry group, the Food Marketing Institute and Grocery Manufacturers Association, suggests that its members mark food ”best if used by“ to indicate how long the food is safe to eat, and ”use by“ to indicate when food becomes unsafe.(一个行业组织，食品营销协会和食品杂货制造商协会，建议其成员在食品上标注“最佳使用时间”，以表明食品的安全食用时间，并在“使用时间”上标注食品的不安全时间。)”可推断，第五段和第六段的例子只是为了说明第四段提到的一个事实，那就是食品包装上的日期是来自食品生产商。故选A。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“It’s logical to believe that date labels are there for safety reasons, since the USA government enforces rules including printing nutrition and ingredient information on food packaging. The dates on those food packages, however, are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Rather came from food producers. (日期标签的存在是出于安全考虑，这是合乎逻辑的，因为美国政府执行的规定包括在食品包装上印刷营养和成分信息。然而，这些食品包装上的日期不受食品和药物管理局的监管。而是来自食品生产商。)”以及第五段“A food brand may survey consumers in a focus group to pick a ”use by“ date that is six months after the product was produced because 60 percent of the focus group no longer liked the taste after six months. (一个食品品牌可能会在一个焦点群体中调查消费者，以选择产品生产后6个月的“使用日期”，因为焦点群体中60%的人在6个月后不再喜欢这种味道。)”可知，文章主要介绍了当前食品日期标签的阴暗面。故选D。

Technology has changed the ways in which we communicate with each other. For many people, the primary form of communicating these days is via instant messaging. When you run out of space or ideas, you just hit the send button or tum it off. There are no silences between the words, literally or figuratively (比喻地).
In real life, getting along with another person takes effort and energy. There are moments when neither person has anything to say. Silence can feel awkward. So too, emotions can arise in real life that are difficult. There are moments when things can get painful with another person. Misunderstandings happen, hard truths are revealed, and feelings can get hurt.
A trend has started to pop up. When difficulty or conflict arises within a relationship, we are simply dropping out of it rather than facing the issue. I hear of this more often in my practice and notice it more in my own life. We come and go, in and out of each other’s lives with remarkable ease, as if relationships are not really worth investing in or working for any longer. It makes me wonder if we are simply losing the ability to deal with the messy and uncomfortable parts of life. The result is that we are left with a lot of relationships but not much in the way of nourishing relationships. We have it easy, but we don’t have it real.
When we run into conflict with others, the reason we are willing to address the conflict is that we want the relationship and we care about it. Discomfort, awkwardness and challenges are an unavoidable part of being in a relationship with others. We have to remind ourselves that we can wade (涉水) through that messy river to get to the other side where the relationship can be restored. In psychology, we call this process repair. And the relationship that is formed after dealing with the conflict together is actually stronger than if the conflict had not happened.
We will never end up anywhere deeply satisfying by avoiding challenges. Each moment that we are willing to be uncomfortable in a relationship, to live in and through the messiness, is a drop of gold in the relationship itself. The investment in the hard stuff is finally what makes the relationship worth investing in. The willingness to be uncomfortable with something and the value of that something are part of the same circle.
42. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Technology has brought people closer.
B. True friends are not embarrassed by silence.
C. Online communication creates a lot of misunderstandings.
D. More challenges arise in real-life interpersonal relationships.
43. What is the author’s attitude towards the trend mentioned in Paragraph 3?

44. What does the author suggest people do?
A. Step back and avoid conflict.

When you run out of space or ideas, you just hit the send button or tum it off. There are no silences between the words, literally or figuratively (比喻地). (科技改变了我们彼此交流的方式。对许多人来说，现在主要的交流方式是通过即时消息。当你没有空间或想法时，你只需按下发送按钮或关闭它。交流之间没有沉默，无论是字面上还是比喻上。)”和第二段“In real life, getting along with another person takes effort and energy. There are moments when neither person has anything to say. Silence can feel awkward. So too, emotions can arise in real life that are difficult.

【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It makes me wonder if we are simply losing the ability to deal with the messy and uncomfortable parts of life. The result is that we are left with a lot of relationships but not much in the way of nourishing relationships. We have it easy, but we don’t have it real.

(我们必须提醒自己，我们可以趟过那条脏乱的河流，到达另一边，在那里我们可以恢复关系。在心理学中，我们称这种过程为修复。在一起处理冲突后形成的关系实际上比冲突没有发生时更牢固。)”可知，当人们之间有冲突时，作者建议人们去解决。故选C。

The investment in the hard stuff is finally what makes the relationship worth investing in. The willingness to be uncomfortable with something and the value of that something are part of the same circle. (避免挑战，我们永远不会在任何地方得到令人满意的结果。我们愿意在一段关系中感到不舒服的每一刻，愿意生活在混乱中并度过混乱，都是这段关系本身的一滴黄金。对艰难事物的投资最终是使这段关系值得投资的因素。对某些事物感到不舒服的意愿和这些事物的价值是同一个圈子的一部分。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是要引导人们建立有意义的人际关系。故选C。

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”
In high school Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer.
Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”
What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
46. What record has Ed Viesturs set? (no more than 15 words)
_____________________________________________________
47. Which mountain made Viesturs decide to start climbing? (no more than 2 words)
_____________________________________________________
48. What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 1 word)
_____________________________________________________
49. What did the pioneering climber think of the mountains? (no more than 8 words)
_____________________________________________________
50. Do you think Ed Viesturs will stop climbing? Give your reason. (no more than 20 words)
_____________________________________________________
【答案】46. He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
47. Mount Annapurna.
48. Attracted.
49. They were treated as / like living creatures.
50. No. Because for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off another adventure.
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍了登山之王维埃斯图斯（Viesturs）的登山成就，他是唯一已经成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美国人。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains. (但在周四，Viesturs成为唯一登上世界14座最高山峰之巅的美国人。)”可知，Viesturs是成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美国人。故答案为He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. (他最后一次徒步旅行是在亚洲白雪皑皑的喜马拉雅山上的安纳普尔纳山。山峰海拔26545英尺，是世界第十高。正是这座山激励他开始攀登。)”可知，激励Viesturs开始攀登的是喜马拉雅山上的安纳普尔纳山。故答案为Mount Annapurna。
【48题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第四段“In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.( 高中时，Viesturs读过法国登山家莫里斯·赫尔佐格（Maurice Herzog）关于攀登冰冷的安纳普尔纳的故事。赫尔佐格的故事是关于冻伤的以及困难和濒死体验。Viesturs马上被hooked了。)”可知，hooked是动词，描述Viesturs在高中时读过法国登山家莫里斯·赫尔佐格关于攀登冰冷的安纳普尔纳的故事之后的反应。根据第二段“His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. (他最后一次徒步旅行是在亚洲白雪皑皑的喜马拉雅山上的安纳普尔纳山。山峰海拔26545英尺，是世界第十高。正是这座山激励他开始攀登。)”可知，激励Viesturs开始攀登的是喜马拉雅山上的安纳普尔纳山。所以，Viesturs是被吸引去攀登，hooked的意思应该是“被吸引”。故答案为Attracted。
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第七段“The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. (这位登山先驱谈到山脉时，仿佛它们是应该受到尊重的生物。)”可知，这位登山先驱把山脉认为是生物。故答案为They were treated as / like living creatures.
【50题详解】
开放性试题。根据最后一段“What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure. (对于一个无法停止攀爬的人来说，接下来会发生什么？“我要拥抱我的妻子和孩子，放松一下，享受这个夏天，”Viesturs说。但对于一个登上了世界14座最高山峰的人来说，他可能很快就会开始另一次冒险。)”可知，Viesturs可能很快就会开始另一次冒险。故答案为No. Because for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off another adventure.
