When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels’ relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.

Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.

Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic(流行病) has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.

Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.

Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.

4．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph l probably mean?

A．She had a running race with Daniels.

B．Daniels felt disappointed.

C．Daniels had a tough win.

D．She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.

5．What is the purpose of DOROT?

A．To make technological innovation.

B．To enhance the living standards of the elderly.

C．To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.

D．To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.

6．What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?

A．The solution to loneliness.

B．The root cause of loneliness.

C．The classification of loneliness.

D．The growing attention to loneliness.

7．In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?

A．Society Watch. B．News Express.

C．Page Turner. D．Science Study.

Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion (脑震荡) research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.

Professional sports get the lion’s share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.

However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain” as a sign of toughness. In 2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology (病理学) report of Mike Webster a, a retired National Football League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.

In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (头盔), but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shell materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different impacts. Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.

Sports are an important part of a society’s culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.

8．What made the author feel concerned?

A．The coach’s in experience.

B．The physical conflicts among the players.

C．Unawareness of the potential injuries.

D．Unpredictable outcome of the project.

9．What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?

A．They tended to ignore it.

B．They felt scared about it.

C．They quit playing immediately.

D．They refused medical assistance.

10．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?

A．Its gradual improvement.

B．Its widespread influence.

C．The discovery of its new materials.

D．The difficulty of its mass production.

11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Exercise is vital for children.

B．Sports safety can’t be overemphasized.

C．No participation in sports is without injuries.

D．Concussion is the most common injury in sports.

People generally feel secure with certainty. To be certain is to have power and control. Certainty is often used as a metric (衡量标准) of value, shaping how people view themselves and others. For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves ascertain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, and untrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.

But the reality is that certainty is transient; it is more a feeling than a fact. Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencil—ready for revision, editing, and change.

Spring tide’s recent report, The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating Uncertainty, allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another. Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized：

“Like, struggling to know what or what not to believe....That’s something we talked about in the group. It actually makes me feel a little bit better. It’s like, oh, like we can have doubts. We can struggle with these feelings and they’re still, we’re still accepted, you know? So that was actually kind of refreshing” (Spring tide, 2021, p.46).

Young people are not rejecting certainty, but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or one-dimensional solutions. They are reexamining pre-drawn labels, beliefs, and identities and daring to ask “Why?” Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and rediscover uncertainty. We can listen to and learn from young people, embracing(拥抱)this opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth. If we will accept uncertainties, we might discover the ways that multiple beliefs, practices, values, identities, and communities can coexist and develop together.

12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To explain a concept.

B．To advocate a culture.

C．To introduce a different opinion.

D．To confirm an assumption.

13．What does the underlined word “transient” probably mean in paragraph 2?

A．Changeable. B．Predictable.

C．Popular. D．Objective.

14．What was Milly’s attitude towards the group discussion?

A．Intolerant. B．Doubtful.

C．Unconcerned. D．Positive.

15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Unmask the Culture of Certainty

B．Embrace the Gift of Uncertainty

C．Certainty: Should It Be Rejected by the Young?

D．Uncertainty: Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety?

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。

“Go home and ask your mummy about your blind brother! I am surprised you didn’t know that he is as blind a sabat!” Hearing Nathan’swords, I wanted to land a blow on him for making fun of my two-year-old brother, David, but I was more desperate to find out the truth.

With a misty vision, I ran home as fast as I could. Still out of breath, I questioned, “Is David blind?” Mother turned to me with tears in her eyes. “Yes, he’s born blind.” It was a heartbreaking moment. I knew clearly the dream of showing David my cool soccer moves or playing videogames with him ended cruelly. “Why did you keep the truth from me? I often wondered why he didn’t look at me or why he was always tripping over things and I thought it was because he was still too young...” Before I could continue any further, mother hugged me and cried, “I’m sorry, Caleb. Dad and I just didn’t know how to tell you.”

Suddenly, it struck me that David was blind but he could still hear the whole conversation. Not wanting him to be affected by it, I stopped crying and went forward and embraced him. “I love you so much, David.” Worry crept upon me: How hard life would be for him!

Little did I know that David was to inspire me so greatly.

As David grew up, he was fairly strong-willed. Despite the challenges that he faced, he continued to attend the school for visually impaired children. He insisted he would take the bus home on his own. Often, he would walk through the main door looking sheepish and saying the same phrase, “Sorry Mum, I am late. I boarded the wrong bus again.”

Tough as life was, there was always silver lining of misfortune. Despite not being able to see, he could play a piece of music after listening to it being played once on the piano. He even dreamed of playing solo (独奏) one day onstage. Luckily for him, the school had discovered David’s extraordinary talent.

One day, David burst through the main door excitedly.

46．    A recent survey regarding After-school Activities was conducted in our school.

    As can be seen from the pie chart, the majority of the students surveyed, about 56%, tended to do homework after school. By contrast, playing computer games, doing sports and reading books proved to be less popular, accounting for 22%, 13% and 9% respectively.

    In my view, the trend mentioned above is basically due to the mounting pressure. To help students get fully developed, it’s sensible to balance study and relaxation---workout and book-reading should be given priority while less time should be spent on screens. Plus, more diverse extracurricular activities should be provided to cater to different interests and talents.

47．范文

One day, David burst through the main door excitedly. Unable to conceal his delight and thrill, he announced that the school would like him to play solo at the school musical concert. The whole family was extremely thrilled for him, for it was a perfect opportunity to realize his music dream. There was also a bit worry that he might suffer a blow in case of a failure, which threw us into a hint of uneasiness. But we had faith in him. The following days witnessed him repeatedly practicing the chosen music skillfully. Then came the big day when he would go onstage.

Tapping the ground with his walking stick. David entered the stage. With the widest smile on his face, he walked towards the grand piano located in the middle of the stage. I sat up with anticipation, heart filled with pride. His fingers flew on the keys as his music filled the air of the 500-seat concert hall. After the last note was played, the whole hall erupted into applause. David stood up and took a bow, smiling broadly as the spotlight shone brightly on him. He would always be an inspiration to me. Through him, I learned having an unflagging spirit could overcome challenges and David truly had that.
