阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
COVID-19 vaccinations (接种) are underway. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, has said that about 75% to 90% of Americans will need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity (群体免疫) in the United States. Public health experts recommended a staged approach to vaccination. Demand for the vaccine exceeded capacity in the beginning. Vaccine manufacturers increased production to meet the demand; however, public interest in getting vaccinated has been waning. The U.S. adopted the following staged approach, but by May 1,2021, most of the country had already reached stage 2.
Stage la includes healthcare personnel and residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Stage la vaccinations began in December 2020. Stage 1b includes frontline essential workers: police officers; food and agricultural, postal, daycare, grocery store, public transit, and manufacturing workers; teachers; and people aged 75 and older. Some states are allowing people aged 65 and older to sign up for the vaccine. S me states began Stage 1b vaccinations during the second full week of January 2021.
Stage 1c includes people aged 65.to 74 and people aged 16 to 64 who have potential health conditions that increase the risk of COVID complications. Essential workers of any age in the transportation, logistics, food service, construction, communications, information technology, energy, law, media, public safety, and public health sectors are also in Stage lc. Many states were able to vaccinate Stage lc in March and April.
Stage 2 includes all other people aged 16 and older. A COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized for teens aged 12 and older.
For more information about vaccine injection, you may contact 415-578-7342.
21. What does the underlined word “waning” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Increasing. B. Decreasing. C. Changing. D. Improving.
22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Many states of the U.S. are able to reach stage lc before January, 2021.
B. The U. S. plans to vaccinate all people aged 12 and older at the end of the two stages.
C. To reach herd immunity, more than 90% of Americans will need to be vaccinated.
D. In stage 1b a man aged 66 can get vaccinated in some states of America.
23. Where is the text probably taken?
A. An announcement. B. A biology textbook.
C. A news report. D. A medical journal.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲的是美国分阶段接种新冠疫苗的相关信息。
【21题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Vaccine manufacturers increased production to meet the demand(疫苗制造商增加生产以满足需求)”及后面的however表转折可知，疫苗制造商增加生产以满足需求；然而，公众对接种疫苗的兴趣正在减弱。由此推知，划线词waning的意思是 “减少”，即Decreasing。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Stage 1b includes frontline essential workers: police officers; food and agricultural, postal, daycare, grocery store, public transit, and manufacturing workers; teachers; and people aged 75 and older. Some states are allowing people aged 65 and older to sign up for the vaccine.(第1b阶段包括前线的重要工作人员：警务人员；食品和农业、邮政、日托、杂货店、公共交通和制造业工人；教师；以及75岁以上的人。一些州允许65岁及以上的人注册接种疫苗)”可知，在1b阶段，在美国的一些州，66岁的男子可以接种疫苗。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“For more information about vaccine injection, you may contact 415-578-7342.(有关疫苗注射的更多信息，请联系415-578-7342)”可知，主要讲的是美国分阶段接种新冠疫苗的相关信息。由此推知，本文来自于一份公告。故选A。
B
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
24. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.
C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.
25. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
26. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D. Changes in people’s social positions.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。
C
Reflecting(回忆) on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of “What if?” is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.
I once majored in architecture — something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember — and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.
“Don’t give up on your childhood dream!” “He’s right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture.”
It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded. When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: “Right now, what do you want to do with your life?” That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that moment, it was what I wanted.
We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.
28. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?
A. Past actions should be treasured.
B. It’s unwise to regret all the time.
C. Life would be dull without “What if?”
D. We make better decisions by looking back.
29. What does the underlined word “agonized” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Proud B. Determined C. Unregretful D. Painful
30. Why didn’t the author change her major immediately?
A. Changing a major was uncommon
B. Her advisor forced her not to do that
C. She thought it a betrayal(背叛) of her younger self
D. She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.
31. What lesson did the author learn from the experience?
A. Don’t follow others’ career advice
B. It’s OK to switch to our real love.
C. Improve us before realizing our dream
D. Childhood dreams are hard to insist on
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。本文讲述后悔是没有什么用的，如果这样的生活或专业不是你所想要的，大胆选择你爱的。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段提到“Reflecting(回忆) on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of “What if?” is no way to live(反思过去那些无法逆转的决定或行为，并满脑子都是“如果……会怎么样?”这不是生活的方式。)”可知，作者认为总是后悔是不明智的，故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段提到的“After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism(经过一番认真的思考，我改学新闻专业了。)”可知，经过慎重的思考我改变的专业，可知我现在很痛苦，划线词与D项意思相近。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Don’t give up on your childhood dream!” “He’s right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture(“不要放弃你童年的梦想!”“他说得对，”我想。“我应该坚持下去，我不应该让曾经热爱建筑的小女孩失望。”)”可知,作者在听了导师的话之后觉得他(导师)是对的,她应该坚持下去,不应该让那个曾经热爱建筑学的小女孩失望。故可推断出,作者不喜欢学习建筑学却不立即换专业的原因 是她认为换专业就是放弃了童年的梦想,背叛了童年时的自己，故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段提到“We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK.You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.(我们长大了，有时我们的梦想会改变——这完全没问题。你只需要时不时问问自己，“这还是我想要的吗?”如果答案是否定的，那就继续前进，开始追求新的目标。)”可知，最后一段说到我们在成长,有时我们的梦想也会改变,那完全正常。你只需要偶尔问问自己“这还是我想要的吗?”,如果答案是否定的,那么我们就应该放手并开始追寻我们真正的爱，故选B项。
D
Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
32. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .
A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged
C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures
33. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. silently B. gradually
C. regularly D. completely
34. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .
A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light
C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light
35. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A. move more slowly in deep water
B. stay see-through even after death
C. produce more tissues for their survival
D. take effective action to reduce light spreading
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点，透明原理，以及形成机制。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三行“Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch”可知，透明动物是很容易受伤。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了：你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射；而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了，那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了，因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.”可知，想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线，因此其中的一个方法是C选项，避免光线的吸收。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. ”可知，体型较大的透明动物面临的挑战最大，因为它们必须让体内所有不同的组织减缓光线的速度，就像减缓水的速度一样。由此判断出，他在最后一段告诉我们，更大的透明动物会采取有效的行动来减少光的扩散。故选D。

It was a privilege for Eloise to have her grandson Josh living with her while he was attending college away from home. Eloise had struggled to keep herself busy since her husband’s death three years ago. But having Josh around was motivation for Eloise to stay active. Now most of her days were spent baking bread and cookies or with friends and neighbors.
When Eloise returned from a get-together with her friends one evening, Josh pointed to a black-and-white picture lying on the table, and said, “Hi, Grandma. 1 found this in my closet (壁橱)，Is that you and Granddad?” Eloise looked at the picture and laughed quietly. “Oh, that was a long time ago. I must have overlooked it when I was cleaning to make room for your things.”
“That’s your granddad and me before we were married. We met at a party. I loved to dance, and he was a good dancer,” Eloise smiled, enjoying the memories that came flooding back.
“After we got married, we rarely had time to go dancing. But every once in a while, after the children went to bed, we’d pull out the record player and dance in the backyard under the stars.”
Leaning back in his chair, Josh appeared to be enjoying the story. “Wow, Granddad was quite a romantic guy!”
“Yeah. He was very romantic. I still miss him dearly.” Eloise shook her head, attempting to get rid of the lonely feeling that was beginning to form.“Well, it’s getting late now. Let’s get some sleep.” “I’ve really enjoyed hearing the story about you and Granddad,” Josh hugged his grandma. Then he went back to his room.
Two hours ago, Mom called to tell him that the next day would be Grandma’s birthday. He eagerly wanted to give a special present to Grandma, but he was short of money. After hearing Grandma’s words and knowing their story, he got a brilliant idea in his mind.

【答案】one possible version :
The next morning, Josh started to prepare his “present from the past” secretly. Picturing the scene where Granddad and Grandma once spent time together under the stars in his mind, Josh got down to carrying out his plans in the backyard. To his great delight, he managed to borrow several paper lanterns, a small TV tray and an old record player from neighbors. Songs to Grandma’s taste and a vase of wild flowers were also prepared. With everything ready, all he had to do was wait for the starry night to come.
After finishing dinner that night, Josh invited and led his grandma to the backyard. Eloise gasped in astonishment at what came into view — paper lanterns glowing against the sky, a small TV tray holding an old-fashioned record player and a vase of handpicked flowers — and her thoughts flew back to the past days when her husband was alive. Hearing Josh’s “Happy Birthday, Grandma!”, she came out of her trance and hugged him. Then Josh held out his hand and asked gently, “Would you like to dance, Eloise?” With bleary eyes, Eloise replied,“I’d love to, Josh.”
