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. ”
4. 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.
5. What can we learn about Alston’s restaurant?

C. It provides dining space. D. It serves in a food trailer.
6. 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.
7. Which of the following can best describe Alston?
A. Demanding. B. Humorous. C. Ambitious. D. Caring.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一位27岁的空乘人员在疫情期间如何在全职工作的同时开了一家餐厅，努力朝着自己的目标奋斗。

(2021年5月，Alston恢复了全职飞行，并保持着繁忙的日程：他将于周五在Detroit Metro机场报到上班，从周二到周二在全国各地飞行，返回Detroit后立即前往Columbus开始为他的餐厅服务，他在周四和周五上午经营这家餐厅。)”可知在机场上班是Alston全职工作，餐厅是他利用业余时间开的。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So far, the best learning experience has been hearing positive feedback from his customers, which keeps him motivated.

C
One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.
This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.
Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.
However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.
The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.
8. What does the underlined word “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2?
A. Confusing. B. Terrible. C. Controllable. D. Inspiring.
9. What problem may baby boomers face?
A. A crisis after retirement. B. Being knocked out in the future.
C. Failing to receive good healthcare. D. Tending to double their life expediencies.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The features of high-tech jobs. B. The way out for baby boomers.
C. Potential industries in the future. D. The importance of developing technology.
11. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?
A. Have a good sense of crisis. B. Avoid retiring at an early age.
C. Look for many part-time jobs. D. Improve digital literacy actively.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在美国，65岁以上的成年人中有三分之一从未使用过互联网，一半人甚至在家里没有互联网接入。在“科技中心”旧金山，40%的老年人不具备基本的数字读写能力。这种情况正变得令人震惊，因为每天都有1万多名美国人年满65岁。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.(到2050年，22%的美国人将年满65岁。与此同时，科技发展非常迅速。这意味着大量的人将无法熟练地使用紧急技术)”以及画线词后文“as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day”可知，大量的人将无法熟练地使用紧急技术，而每天都有1万多名美国人年满65岁，可见这种情况正变得糟糕。故画线词意思是“糟糕的”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.(然而，他们没有强有力的经济或教育支持。这不是问题；这是危机。超过一半的50岁以上的员工在所谓的“强制退休”中被解雇。而且很少有公司积极帮助年长员工从全职工作过渡到兼职工作。在那些幸运地被雇用的人中，五分之三的年长工人遭受歧视)”可知，婴儿潮一代可能会面临退休后危机。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.(最简单的解决方案是教授数字素养。如果婴儿潮一代想要度过即将到来的退休危机，他们应该获得足够的数字知识和技能来操作今天的工具和明天的平台。每一次危机都伴随着机遇。辅导、客户服务、编辑、研究、记账和其他基于虚拟辅助的工作打开了大门。但是，在我们的高科技社会和零工经济中，首先需要数字知识。所以尽量多上网，浏览越来越多的网站和应用程序)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是婴儿潮一代的出路。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms.(最简单的解决方案是教授数字素养。如果婴儿潮一代想要度过即将到来的退休危机，他们应该获得足够的数字知识和技能来操作今天的工具和明天的平台)”可知，作者建议婴儿潮一代积极提高数字素养。故选D。
D
A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. In studies, active people generally have more gray matter. Gray matter is made up of the brain’s essential, working neurons(神经元). Fit people also tend to have healthier white matter, which supports and connects neurons. Partly as a consequence of these, exercise is strongly linked with lower risks of dementia(痴呆) and other memory problems with age.
But exercise may increase exposure to air pollution and previous studies have shown the opposite effects of air pollution on the brain. So, what happens then?
Some researchers looked at thousands of middle-aged adults from the UK Bio-bank. The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending on the amount of physical activity collected from the devices researchers asked them to wear. They then evaluated air pollution levels where the people lived, asked the participants to complete brain scans, and finally, compared them. Researchers found that exercise was linked to excellent brain health for people in areas with little air pollution. But the beneficial associations almost disappeared for exercisers living in areas with even moderate(中度的) air pollution. They had less gray matter and more unhealthy white matter than people living and exercising away from pollution, even if their workouts were similar.
Extending these findings in a follow-up study, the same scientists found that the more people exercised, the less likely they were to develop dementia over time—provided their local air was clear. When it was moderately polluted, though, they had an increased long-term risk of dementia, whether they exercised or not.
These studies increase the urgency for developing more-effective regulations related to air quality. Public policy could be used to address people’s exposure to air pollution during exercise. For example, since a great amount of air pollution comes from traffic, promoting running or bicycling along paths far from heavy traffic may be more beneficial.
12 What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A. The reasons behind dementia.
B. The benefits of workouts on brains.
C The working process of our brains.
D. The exercise suitable for people with dementia.
13. Why did the researchers ask the participants to wear the devices?
A. To record their daily routine.
B. To monitor the local air quality.
C. To help know their exercise patterns.
D. To warn them of healthy problems.
14. What can we learn from the studies?
A. Memory problems should be cured.
B. The structure of the brain is complicated.
C. People face many risk factors for dementia.
D. More rules against air pollution should be made quickly.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Air quality has to be improved urgently.
B. Most people do exercise in a wrong way.
C. Air pollution may reduce benefits of exercise.
D. People with diseases should do more exercise.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述了空气污染可能会降低身体活动对大脑的益处。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及最后一句“Partly as a consequence of these, exercise is strongly linked with lower risks of dementia(痴呆) and other memory problems with age.(部分由于这些原因，运动与降低痴呆症和其他随年龄增长而出现的记忆问题的风险有着密切的联系。)”可知第一段主要阐述锻炼对大脑的益处。故选B.
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“ The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending on the amount of physical activity collected from the devices researchers asked them to wear. (研究人员要求他们佩戴设备，根据设备所收集的运动量来描述他们的身体活动模式。)”可知设备研究人员要求他们佩戴设备是为了了解他们的运动模式。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“When it was moderately polluted, though, they had an increased long-term risk of dementia, whether they exercised or not.(然而，当环境处于中度污染时，无论他们是否锻炼，他们患痴呆症的长期风险都会增加。)”以及最后一段第一句“These studies increase the urgency for developing more-effective regulations related to air quality. Public policy could be used to address people’s exposure to air pollution during exercise. (这些研究增加了制定与空气质量有关的更有效法规的紧迫性。公共政策可以用来解决人们在锻炼过程中暴露在空气污染中的问题。)”可知空气污染增加人们患痴呆症的风险，应该尽快制定更多的防止空气污染的规定。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及第二段“But exercise may increase exposure to air pollution and previous studies have shown the opposite effects of air pollution on the brain.(但运动可能会增加暴露在污染的空气中，而之前的研究已经表明，空气污染对大脑有相反的影响。)”可知运动对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害；结合下文对研究与研究结果的详细阐述，可知文章主要阐述虽然锻炼对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害，所以C选项“Air pollution may reduce benefits of exercise.(空气污染可能会降低锻炼的益处。)”能够概括全文，适合做文章标题。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I moved to Boston from the less traffic-filled Midwest, all I heard was, “Boston drivers are terrible. You must be careful on the roads!”I lived in Boston for four years while in college. But I didn’t need a car then, because Boston’s subways and buses could take me anywhere I needed to go. When I graduated, moved to the suburbs and got a job, I had to buy a car. I began to share the roads with the crazy drivers I’d heard about with much anxiety.
I found the stories were all true! I always get cut off and shouted at. Very seldom am I actually doing something wrong. I can’t count the number of times I’ve almost been in an accident because people refuse to give way to me when I have the right of way. Almost too late, I realize I have to turn if I want my car to stay untouched. And I’ve only been driving here for six months!
I learned how to drive in a friendlier environment, so I’ve always been in the habit of letting people go in front of me if they need to turn or pull out. However, people here are hardly thoughtful enough to help other drivers that way. They usually cut right away in front of me without even showing thanks.
In my home environment, the thank-you wave is standard driving behaviour to show politeness. Having nothing in return for my kindness in Boston had been so discouraging that I was almost ready to give up trying to be nice. I thought I’d just move along very quickly with the rest of the cars, without a thought for anyone else.
Then one day on my way home from work I was stuck in the heavy traffic with so many cars almost touching each other. And I noticed a young man was also trapped in the next driveway three or four cars ahead of mine.
注意
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I moved slowly along the road, I felt tired and hungry.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The young guy gave me a huge thank-you wave right away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】

As I moved slowly along the road, I felt tired and hungry. And I was so anxious to get home. Just then I saw that guy trying to back out but no one in front of me would like to pause and let him in. He had been waiting for almost 15 minutes when I drove up. I stopped so he had space to back out and I expected nothing in return. But as soon as his car came out to the front of mine, I saw he was so happy and his whole body shook back and forth!
The young guy gave me a huge thank-you wave right away. It also made me smile after a long hard day at work. I realized that although people in Boston aren’t usually nice to each other on the roads, it doesn’t mean I should give up and quit being helpful to other drivers. I felt relieved since this unusually friendly person taught me a good lesson that in the middle of a crowd that does not care for other people, it’s still valuable to be thoughtful and kind.
【解析】
【分析】本文以作者在波士顿的生活展开叙述，讲述了该地司机的素质较低，行车拒绝让路，对其他人怒吼，也不会考虑去帮助其他司机，甚至插队也不说谢谢。从而使作者对自己在波士顿礼让的行为得不到回报而感到寒心。而某天开车遇到的一位年轻人，作者同样给他礼让，但却出乎意料得到了感谢，这使得作者仍然能够保持自己的善意行为。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当我慢慢沿着道路走的时候，我感到又累又饿。”可知，第一段可写作者急切渴望回家休息。由第二段首句内容“这个年轻人给了我一个大大的感谢挥手。”可知，作者还是帮助了他。故第一段可写作者是如何帮助他的。
②由第二段首句内容“这个年轻人给了我一个大大的感谢挥手”可知，第二段可描写作者经此一事对于自己想要帮助其他人想法的动摇又坚定了，可进行适当心理描写。
2.续写线索：渴望回家——帮助——感谢——心理活动——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①等候：wait for/await
②回家：get home/go back home
③放弃：give up/back down
情绪类
①开心：so happy/very delighted
②宽慰：feel relieved/comfort
