21、Public transport is in deep water in some countries. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A-train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. 【1】
Although transport agencies blame it on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. 【2】 Other upstarts like dock-less bicycles and battery powered “e-bikes” are also spreading. Mass transport, on the other hand, is much less flexible.
This is a headache for the operators of public transport systems. 【3】 But like it or not, public transport does some things very well. It provides a service for people who are too old, too young, too fearful or too drunk to drive or ride a bike. Trains and subways cause less pollution than cars and move people at far higher densities (密度).
So, how to deal with the problem? 【4】 Some cities have created congestion (拥堵) charging zones, but that is a hopelessly crude tool. Most congestion zones in effect sell daily tickets to drive around as much as you like within the zone—and charge vehicles such as taxis and minicabs nothing.
【5】 Although new forms of transport often compete with old ones, they ought to go well with each other. Taxi services and app-based cars could get people to and from airports and ports, which are often far from the urban core.
A．It is also a problem for cities.
B．It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.
C．Transport agencies should also accept the upstarts.
D．To some extent, pricing road use properly can be a solution.
E．But passenger numbers are flat or falling in many countries.
F．App-based taxi services are more convenient than trains or buses.
G．Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires joint efforts.
22、 If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s (兄弟姐妹的) name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?
Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.
The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group”.
The study also found that within that group, misnaming occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students, others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.
In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms (常态). There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.
【1】How might people often feel when they were misnamed?
A.Unwanted. B.Unhappy. C.Confused. D.Indifferent.
【2】What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?
A.It is related to the way our memories work.
B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.
C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.
D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.
【3】What is most likely the cause of misnaming?
A.Similar personality traits (特点) B.Similar spellings of names.
C.Similar physical appearance. D.Similar pronunciation of names.
【4】What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?
A.It more often than not hurts relationships.
B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.
C.It is most frequently found in extended families.
D.It most often occurs within a relationship group.
【5】Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?
A.They suffer more frustrations.
B.They become worn out more often.
C.They communicate more with their children.
D.They generally take on more work at home.

24、For those of us who can’t live without a morning cup, the latest assessments of the health effects of coffee are reassuring. Its consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of all kinds of diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, cirrhosis, liver cancer, melanoma and prostate cancer.
In fact, in numerous studies conducted throughout the world, consuming four or five 250 ml cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. Published in 2015 in Circulation, a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years found that those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than those who escaped coffee.
As a report published in 2020 by researchers at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health concluded, although current evidence may not warrant (保证) recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy lifestyle”. They found that consumption of three to five standard cups of daily coffee may in fact reduce the risk of several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
It wasn’t always this way. Aside from the many health conditions coffee has been thought to cause, in 1991 it was even listed by the World Health Organization as a possible carcinogen (致癌物). But in some of the now-discredited studies, it was smoking, not coffee drinking that was responsible for the purported carcinogen hazard.
That’s not to say coffee warrants a totally clean bill of health. The most common ill effect associated with it is sleep disturbance. While Dr. Willett says “you don’t have to get to zero consumption to minimize the impact on sleep,” he acknowledges that a person’s sensitivity to caffeine likely increases with age. Some sleep well after drinking caffeinated coffee at dinner while others have trouble sleeping if they have coffee at lunch.
Some of coffee’s other benefits come from polyphenols and antioxidants. Polyphenols can inhibit (抑制) the growth of cancer cells and, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes; antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory effects, can counter heart disease and cancer.
【1】What can we learn about caffeine according to the studies mentioned in the passage?
A．Three cups of coffee a day with caffeine may make you die early.
B．Five cups of coffee a day with or without caffeine may do good to you.
C．Young men get more sensitive to caffeine than the elders.
D．There is no different sensitivity to caffeine between the young and old.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The more coffee people drink, the healthier they are.
B．Scientists guarantee people healthier if they drink coffee.
C．A few cups of daily coffee is likely to reduce some diseases.
D．People are urged to drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day.
【3】What does the passage focus on?
A．The benefits of coffee.
B．The side effects of coffee.
C．The origin of coffee.
D．The development of coffee.
【4】In which column of a magazine can we most probably find the text?
A．Nature.

25、 People keep organizing massive thousand person hide-and-seek games at Ikea (宜家) though it has _______ asked people not to play in its stores.
The first evidence of this _______ dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday. She _______ a Facebook group and invited her friends — but soon, thousands of people joined the group. Ikea Belgium got _______ of the plan and instead of _______ it, offered Ikea's full support, including _______ staff and security to host the event.

For Ikea, it was a(n) _______ thing. The company soon __________ similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting __________ risks. And for good reason: Ikea is full of heavy furniture and forklifts (叉车).
Just this week, authorities in Glasgow __________ a new plan for a 3,000-person game in the Scottish city's Ikea store.

An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”
Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek __________. But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential __________ for the company, which has been working __________ to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a __________ for digital orders.

26、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。
One day last June, I picked my son up from afterschool care to take him to the second of his twice-weekly boxing classes. He was tired and hungry and didn’t feel like going. “Can you drive me to the dam (大坝), Mom? I want to find something fun there,” he begged. The Colliery Dam is a pleasant attraction in our town. Beautiful big trees with birds calling, a freshwater reservoir (水库) filled with fish, and acres of paths to wander. But I insisted I had decided that it was important that he finish what he started, and that it was equally important to teach him that sometimes we have to do things even when we don’t feel like it.
Effectively, I was ignoring an eight-year-old’s request for some rest. He went to school five days a week, as well as before and afterschool care; he had a tutor once a week, two boxing classes and gymnastics on the weekend.However, I felt it justified in that he’s a very active boy and needs ways to get out all his energy.
But on this particular day, he was not going to let me ignore his feelings, however hard I tried. He even declared that he would never go to the boring boxing classes and instead take the painting courses he had been longing for. As usual, I rejected, claiming that’s an activity for girls. As we got in the hot car for a 15-minute drive to boxing, he returned to a three-year-old--he screamed and cried and kicked my seat.
We pulled into the parking lot, both of us worn out, annoyed and angry. My son took off his seat belt and curled (蜷缩) into a ball on the floor. What was I doing? Why was I so determined that he go to boxing? Was I worried that his absence would reflect badly on me as a parent somehow? Wouldn’t it actually teach him that I heard he was tired and hungry and needed a break and that it was just as well that boys took painting classes? “Put on your seat belt,” I said. “We’re going to the dam.”
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。
When we arrived at the dam, I noticed the tension disappear from both of our bodies.

My son has now quit boxing and is taking painting once a week.
