I still remember when I moved to Mexico City in 2014, my husband and I spent most of our free time exploring the city of 20 million. We squeezed our way through massive crowds that had traveled across the country to pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico's patron saint. We spent hours in crowded fruit and vegetable markets, looking for the perfect mango milkshake or vendors selling the most interesting-sounding things. Once our two children were born, we made more stops at nearby parks, catching up with friends on the playground or testing out new flavors of food.
The idea of being alone was laughable: I remember once looking out of my office window, pre-pandemic, and not seeing a single person on the block. I recall it vividly because it seemed utterly apocalyptic(预示灾祸的)-and it never happened again.
Over the past nine months of the pandemic, our lives have moved increasingly indoors. We avoid the still-crowded restaurants and city plazas.
Except on weekends. On a recent morning, we drove about 30 minutes to Los Dinamos, a vast, mountainous, densely forested national park. A few minutes into our walk, my eyes followed the muddy, rocky path until it turned a green corner in the distance. I listened to the sound of rushing water from the river below and the twittering of birds hidden in the branches above. And then I realized with a shock: we're alone. In a city of millions where a quiet night is often interrupted with sounds of tamale(墨西哥粽子)or sweet-potato vendors walking the streets with their high-pitched whistles or recorded sales pitches, we had transported ourselves into another kingdom.
I often tell people what I miss most about pre-pandemic life is the buzz of the city. Yes, I miss the hustle and bustle, but I'm not sure whether it's what I need right now. Now I need these walks on pine-needle-covered trails with my young daughters; I need to breathe in truly fresh air; I need to trick my kids (and my husband) ahead with promises of snacks and perfect picnic spots; I need to be with my family-even as I miss my parents, siblings, and friends extremely-in the heart of a forest on the edge of a big city in the midst of a pandemic.
It's a reminder that there is life all around me, even if I can't spend time mixing with others.
24. Why did more people come to Mexico City across the country?
A. To enjoy themselves at parks. B. To sell fruit and vegetables at markets.
C. To enjoy delicious foods. D. To show their religious belief.
25. What has never happened again?
A. Looking out of the office window. B. Nobody being found on the block.
C. The coming of the idea of being alone. D. Meeting friends on the playground.
26. What did the author realize at Los Dinamos suddenly?
A. They came to the park to explore the unknown. B. They felt lonely in a city of millions.
C. They enjoyed valuable moments of stillness. D. They were tired of the busy reality.
27. What does the hiking in the forest remind the author?
A. Her beloved are around in the pandemic.
B. Being outside is a way to reduce pandemic pressure.
C. The pandemic requires people not to mix with others.
D. People miss their friends and family in the pandemic.

"The Delta variant is the most able, fastest and fittest of the coronavirus variants," said Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Program. And the USA's top health officials said recently that the Delta variant is racing through the country and now is responsible for 83% of all USA cases. So what makes the variant so horrible?
The Delta variant was first identified in India in spring this year. In just a few months' time, it has spread across the globe. Research from the United Kingdom shows that the Delta variant is highly contagious(传染的).It's about 60% more easily passed from person to person than the Alpha version, which was first identified in the UK. While a single infected person might have spread older versions of the virus to two or three others, number-called the basic reproduction number-might be around six for Delta, meaning that, on average, each infected person spreads the virus to six others.
Early evidence suggests the Delta variant may cause more severe disease in people who are not vaccinated. In fact, it has raised the risk even higher, increasing the odds that an infected person would need to be hospitalized or could die from their infection by 50% compared to older variants, regardless of vaccination status.
Emerging evidence from England and Scotland, analyzed by Public Health England, also shows an increased risk for hospitalization with Delta. The Delta variant has about 15 different mutations(突变) compared with the original virus. Two of these mutations can help the virus escape the antibodies we make to fight it.
It has another mutation that is also getting researchers' attention-known as P681 R. This mutation appears to help the virus get into our cells. So it's more likely to be in the right position to infect our cells if we come into contact with it.
P681R may also enhance the virus' ability to unite cells together to be clumps(团块).These clumps of cells are called syncytia(合胞体). They turn into a big factory for making viruses. Scientists aren't sure what these supersized syncytia mean exactly, but they have some theories. They may help the virus copy itself more rapidly. That may enhance the ability of the virus to transmit from person to person. At least one recent study from China supports this idea. That study tracked 167 people infected with the Delta variant back to a single case.
Scientists say that what we already know about the Delta variant makes vaccination more important than ever.
28. Compared to the Alpha variant, the Delta variant .
A. leads to more variants globally B. appeared in the USA much earlier
C. spreads more easily and quickly D. has caused more trouble in the UK
29. What does the underlined word "odds" probably mean?
A. significance B. speed C. probability D. amount
30. What can be learned about P681 R?
A. It helps kill infected cells. B. It needs to be studied further.
C. It helps viruses survive antibodies. D. It can cause more mutations.
31. What's the main purpose of the text?
A. To give an explanation. B. To open a discussion.
C. To make comparisons. D. To promote a suggestion.

Walmart has given up a five-year effort to introduce stock-checking robots to its stores. Staff, who evidently do the job better, can breathe a sigh of relief. The contrast is with the Norwegian oil industry, where remotely operated oil rigs(石油钻机)have frightened unions and last month set off a strike. Distant control of machinery is increasingly common in the collection of natural resources, reducing labor costs and improving safety in extreme environments.
Objectors are fighting a defending action. Ports show what lies ahead. Here, ship-to-shore remote-controlled gantry cranes(起重机)have replaced human labor from Felix Stowe to Melbourne. In mining, automation began in the middle of the last century. Unmanned mining rail carriages are now commonly used. The economy crisis of 2012-15 provided a stimulus to increase productivity and cut down costs-factors not lost on the oil industry. Rio Tinto last year completed the first public presentation of what it claims is the world's first fully autonomous, long-distance heavy-haul rail network.
Oil rigs have been on the automation march for most of the past decade. Remote control rooms can manage everything from drilling to mining. The safety advantage of having fewer people on rigs is obvious, especially during a pandemic. Benefits to the bottom line are just as clear. Equinor, the Statoil of Norway, says the move added more than $212m to earnings within a year of its rig going digital. The biggest savings come from shrunken payrolls. Robots are set to replace humans in a range of physically tough, repetitive jobs, from order picking in warehouses to lifting the old and weak.
Up to 800m jobs could be lost across industries to automation by 2030, McKinney Global Institute estimated in 2017. The UK's Office for National Statistics calculates 1.5m English jobs are easily influenced by partial or full automation. It has even built an online program to tell workers how at risk they are. The victory of humans over robots at Walmart is likely to be a temporary one. Businesses that automate are still safer investments than ones that do not.
32. The example of Walmart in Para. 1 is intended to .
A. illustrate the victory of humans over robots
B. set the tune that robots cannot replace humans at work
C. show the difficulty of applying robots in the workplace
D. serve as an opposing example that introduces the topic
33. According to the passage, the advantages of automation in the oil industry include .
①improving workers' health status ②being able to cover all kinds of jobs
③lowering the risk of spreading diseases ④raising earnings by reducing wage costs
A.①② B.①③ C.②④ D.③④
34. The author is most likely to agree that .
A. using robots to replace human workers is temporary
B. there is a promising future for automation in businesses
C. humans should be aware of the risk of uncontrollable machinery
D. it is a good idea for people to invest in the oil industry
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Distant control of machinery is increasingly used to replace human.
B. Robots are relatively cheap compared to human workers.
C. Automation in industries becomes a trend with various benefits.
D. Robots will replace low level skill jobs in the future.

When people find out my son Sam is a competitive mathlete, they usually ask if my husband and I are "math people". The answer is definitely not. But sometimes I 41 I was a math person so I could help him or at least give him better advice.
Ninth grade was 42 for Sam. He left the world of middle school math, where he was kind of a big fish, and started swimming with the high school kids. To 43 a competition, he took multiple practice tests, which he didn't do as well as he had hoped. Ultimately, he was 44 by a math camp he'd applied to. He looked somewhat depressed and 45 , murmuring to me, "I just feel like the whole year has been a waste."
I may not know a lot about math, but I know how Sam feels. As a writer, how many days even months have I " 46 " writing the same scene over and over again? Writing a 47 sometimes feels like two steps forward, one step back. 48 I gradually learn to face and accept the repetition in writing. Whatever the 49 , enjoying the process is enough for me.
"You may currently be 50 and frustrated with your failure, but it's not going to stay like this forever, that is, unless you don't accept or do nothing to change it," I said.
He seemed to have understood a little, but shrugged, "I feel like everyone else did better than me." I walked up to him and 51 him on the shoulder affectionately, "It's normal that we can't 52 the outcome and devoting time and energy to something with no guarantee of its success is risky and terrifying."
I was trying to teach Sam something that had taken me a lifetime to learn: how to 53 difficulty, disappointment and rejection, how to commit yourself to something because it's worth your while, not because you're certain you'll 54 .

A study by Cambridge University has found that extending classroom time may only give limited gains to pupils 56. lost learning during lockdowns. It indicated that, rather than adding extra classroom time, "schools may find 57. more productive to consider carefully the range and quality of activities provided".
The analysis used five years of official data, collected from more than 2, 800 schools in England, 58. (estimate) the likely impact of additional classroom instruction on academic progress. It found that even substantial increases in classroom teaching time would likely only lead 59. small improvements. For example, extending Year 11 pupils' classroom time by one hour per class, in English or maths, was associated with 60. increase of 0.12 and 0.18 in a school's "value-added" score. This increase was quite small, considering that most of the schools in the study had 61. (score) ranging between 994 and 1, 006.
The study also 62. (investigate) the likely effect on disadvantaged pupils, whose education had been hardest hit by school closures. In keeping with the overall results, it found again that more of the same teaching was likely to do 63. (relative) little to improve academic outcomes.
A possible reason why extra instruction time may be ineffective is that it would increase the burden on both teachers and pupils, 64. (prevent) them from being at their best, according to the study.
"A recovery agenda may be successful 65. it provides support and makes room for a wider range of learning," Mr. Connolly said. "In that sense, less instructional time could actually be more."

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。
My father is a hard-working and friendly man. He taught me to drive, play baseball and fish when I was young. However, one other thing my dad's good at was holding a grudge(怨恨). For most of my teen years, he didn't speak to his younger brother, although they were at many family events together.
I was never sure why my dad was so angry with my uncle in the first place. They spent many festivals seated at opposite ends of the table. It was simply something that we all accepted at the time.
When I was nineteen, I got a call in my college dorm that my dad was having serious medical problems. My mom picked me up in the middle of the night so we could be there in time. However, my dad was arranged to transfer to a better hospital the next day. I couldn't fall asleep. I tossed and turned.
That morning, as my mom and I walked down the hallway of the hospital, we could see straight into my dad's room. A tall man wearing a stylish suit stood over my father's bed with his back to us. Casually, my mom remarked how nice it was for the doctor to come by to see my dad so early in the morning.
But through my misty eyes, something about the scene surprised me. The man with his back to us was standing very quietly. He was holding both of my dad's hands. It was definitely not a typical doctor's behavior. I stopped at the door of the room.
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。
I whispered softly to my mom, "That's not a doctor."



The other miracle was my father's new relationship with his younger brother.
