The extremely cold winter greets me as I start going to the Smithsonian subway and take a moment to look at how empty the capital Washington is. Ten minutes later, I arrive at Union Station, which is almost empty. The public-address system tells me the time table of the train, but I fear it is being played for an audience of one. I silently begin to weep, and then my tears start to break down my emotional dam.
For me, everything changed on March 8, 2020. I was in my office at 2:00 P. M. when one of my leaders announced that we were to immediately leave the building and wait for further instructions. For two hours, I sat on a bench on Constitution Avenue, my heart racing.
I didn’t have any real experience working from home. Then one day I did. I held out hope that this would last a few weeks. This, of course, is when everything changed. I started to get really frightened. I watched the news trying to learn every detail. The number of infections kept increasing: 25,000 dead. We soon passed 100,000. It was like watching a disaster movie.
It has been almost one year since the pandemic(大流行病)began. It has a great influence on
me because my life is all about routines, sometimes to the extreme. I have always been a social person, even though I stutter(口吃). Now, I wasn`t allowed to socialize. I had no problem wearing a mask every time I went out. But I couldn’t stand being unable to shake hands and hug. My depression started to throw me into a world of darkness.
However, I know something is wrong and I need to reach out for help. The late singer Bob Marley said, “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” How true that is, and it was especially meant for times like these.
In many ways, the pandemic has forced me to count my gratitude. To begin with, I have a job.
I work in a city that means a great deal to me personally, where I feel safe and no one judges me because of my disabilities. My friends in the stuttering community have continually helped me get through rough time I have had.
Perhaps the most important thing of all is that I’ve reconnected with my family. We haven’t always had an easy relationship, and at times we have been distant. However, sometimes it takes sufferings to rebuild new bonds.
Toughness and gratitude…Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that a virus would make me thankful, but it has made me see life in a new way.

C. The author fears the public-address system is being played for one person.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. A decade-long study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory loss even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默氏症). Researchers from China’s National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical organizations followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested the participants memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test(AVLT 听觉词语学习测验). They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer’s. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene. The participants received tests in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet, regular
physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive activity, non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.
The results showed that the AVLT scores continuously decreased over the 10 years. But the highest test scores were in the favorable group and the lowest in the group where people usually have an unhealthy lifestyle. The participants with favorable and average lifestyles, even when they were APOE carriers, had a slower rate of memory loss than the participants with unhealthy lifestyles.
The researchers said that they studied the contribution of each lifestyle factor and their combined effects in a large sample size over an entire 10 years and offered important information to protect older adults against memory loss.
The results about the APOE carriers also provide a positive outlook that healthy lifestyle risks are related to a slower rate of memory loss, regardless of the genetic risk.
28. How many women participants participated in the study
A. About 14000. B. About 13000. C. About 15000. D. About 12000.
29. According to the study, the following are all lifestyles linked to slower memory loss EXCEPT .
A. Regular physical exercise B. Active cognitive activity
C. Smoking and drinking alcohol D. Active social contact
30. What do the underlined words “favorable group” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The group of people with healthy lifestyle. B. The group of people with unhealthy lifestyle.
C. The group of people carrying APOE gene. D. The group of people without APOE gene.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. An unbelievable study.
B. The importance of healthy lifestyle.
C. Memory loss is a common part of aging.
D. The healthier your lifestyle, the slower your memory loss.

Twelve-year-old Catherine has a lot of friends—632, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not words with friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platform.
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need anyone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To tell about true friends. B. To set off a discussion.
C. To encourage online friendships. D. To summarize the text.
33. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in paragraph 3
A. In any case. B. In full measure. C. In person. D. In advance.
34. What is Katie’s attitude toward online communication
A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Confused.
35. Which of the following is the Rosen’s view
A. Teenagers need to focus on real-world friendships.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in real life.
C. It’s wise to turn to friends online.
D. Social media help people stay closely connected.

How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. 36 Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.
Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a
direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. 37
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. 38 Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across.
Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. 39 You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down – especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
40 When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person.
A. Have a heart-to-heart talk.
B. Challenge the person to act.
C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her.
D. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently on.
E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
F. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment.
G. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard and I understand how you feel ”

Be a true runner
For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors
（辅导员）and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp
needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the
two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!” “You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch（最后一程）on the field, just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark… Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.
Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
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。
In a moment, Bill was up again and running.
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.

答案：One Possible Version: Dear Michael,
Our school virtual choir is recording a song “One World, One Voice”. I’m writing to invite you to join us. Our virtual choir offers a platform for students to sing together online. We just record and upload our voices. Then our videos get combined into one virtual choir. This song is intended to connect people with the same interest in music. It’s a wonderful way for people to sing with one voice, which will surely show our music talents and promote cooperation with others.
I sincerely hope that we will perform together online soon. Looking forward to
your reply.
答案：One possible version:
In a moment, Bill was up and running. I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely. I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out. Naturally, my pace slowed down. Just at the moment, Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back. Convinced that I was no longer a loser, I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again. Injected with confidence, I headed for the finishing line. The gun cracked again, announcing the last 200 meters. I closed my eyes, threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength, in the direction of the dream line.
I didn’t know when I crossed the line. I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst, which signaled the birth of the champion. I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me. “We have won the race! We are the champion!” they shouted and cheered, throwing me in the air. Showered with hugs and applause and whistles, I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me. To me, the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential. Just as Hemingway put it, “The true nobility is superior to your former self.”
