21、 The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor — Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.
Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family’s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.
“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”
Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.
Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.
As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts’ academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn’t get elsewhere.
Under Bacow’s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.
【1】The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that .
A. college education is out of reach to many Americans
B. his family changed their fate due to college education
C. few opportunities were available when his father came into the country
D. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.
B. Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.
C. Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.
D. Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.
【3】The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .
A. reactivating B. causing C. damaging D. taking over
【4】What is this passage mainly about?
A. How to be admitted to Harvard University. B. The history of Bacow’s family.
C. The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts. D. Bacow’s way to individual success.
22、Meredith J. Eberhart completed the 2, 190-plus mile Appalachian Trail on Sunday, becoming the oldest person to hold the honor.
Eberhart has probably hiked over 50,000 miles in his life though he doesn’t keep track. The 83-year-old man started walking when he retired more than 25 years ago, and never stopped.
Eberhart started the 261-day, 15-state trip back in February, with the goal of beating previous record holder Dale “Greybeard”Sanders, who finished the entire Appalachian Trail at the age of 82 in 2017. The trail covers over 2,190 miles from Springer Mountain, Georgia, all the way to Mount Katahdin, Maine. However, Eberhart began his journey far from the trail, at his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama. That added hundreds of extra miles to the route. But Eberhart wasn’t worried about that. He once hiked 4,400 miles from the Florida Keys to Northern Quebec, and another time from Chicago to California on Route 66.
Eberhart admitted that he was feeling his age and the trail got tough at points, even for an experienced hiker like himself. He fell a few times on slippery rocks, and at one point he got his elbow scratched. However, the accidents didn’t stop him.“I’ve got a couple of injuries on me, but I’m okay,”he said.“You’ve got to have incredible determination to do this.”
Eberhart hiked the trail out of order in sections so he could complete each part in fine weather. Mindful of his age, Eberhart walked at a rate of no more than eight hours each day. He finished his journey in Massachusetts, where he celebrated with champagne wine and friends. And while some people think this will be his last hike, Eberhart seems to strongly disagree.
【1】What set Eberhart apart from other Appalachian Trail hikers?
A．The maximum age.
B．The longest distance.
C．The minimum time.
D．The steepest trail.
【2】Which word best describes Eberhart’s journey on the Appalachian Trail?
A．Relaxing.
B．Challenging.
C．Pleasing.
D．Appealing.
【3】Why did Eberhart hike the trails in random sections?
A．To conserve his energy.
B．To catch up with other hikers.
C．To make use of good weather.
D．To avoid getting injured.
【4】What can we learn from Eberhart’s success?
A．Life lies in movement.
B．All roads lead to Rome.
C．He who laughs last laughs longest.
D．It’s never too late to go after dreams.
23、 Rivers are earthly arteries(要道) for the nutrients, deposits and freshwater that sustain healthy, diverse ecosystems. Their influence extends in multiple dimensions—not only along their length but belowground to aquifers(蓄水层) and periodically into nearby floodplains.
They also provide vital services for people by fertilizing agricultural land and feeding key fisheries and by acting as transportation corridors. But in efforts to ease ship passage, protect communities from flooding, and draw off water for drinking and irrigation, humans have increasingly constrained and broken these crucial water ways. “We try to control rivers as much as possible,” says Gunther Grill, a hydrologist at McGill University.
In new research published in May in Nature, Grill and his colleagues analyzed the barriers to 12 million total kilometers of rivers around the world. The team developed an index(指数) that evaluates six aspects of connectivity—from physical fragmentation (by dams, for example) to flow regulation (by dams or levees) to water consumption—along a river’s various dimension. Rivers whose indexes meet a certain threshold(临界值) for being largely able to follow their natural patterns were considered freeflowing.
The researchers found that among rivers longer than 1,000 kilometers (which tend to be some of those most important to human activities), only 37 percent are not blocked along their entire lengths. Most of them are in areas with a minimal human presence, including the Amazon and Congo basins and the Arctic. On the contrary, most rivers shorter than 100 kilometers appeared to flow freely—but the data on them are less comprehensive, and some barriers might have been missed. Only 23 percent of the subset of the longest rivers that connect to the ocean are uninterrupted. For the rest, human infrastructure is starving estuaries(河口) and deltas (such as the Mississippi Delta) of key nutrients. The world's estimated 2.8 million dams are the main cause, controlling water flow and trapping deposits.
The new research could be used to better understand how proposed dams, levees and other such projects might impact river connectivity, as well as where to remove these fixtures to best restore natural flow. It could also help inform our approach to rivers as the climate changes, says Anne Jefferson, a hydrologist at Kent State University, who was not involved in the work. Existing infrastructure, she says, “has essentially been built to a past climate that we are not in anymore and are increasingly moving away from.”
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a function of rivers?
A.Easing ship passage. B.Fertilizing agricultural land.
C.Transporting people or goods. D.Sustaining healthy ecosystems.
【2】What does the underlined word “constrained” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Exhausted. B.Restricted.
C.Consumed. D.Expanded.
【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”．
A.earthly arteries B.human activities
C.entire lengths D.unblocked rivers
【4】What does Anne Jefferson mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.Existing infrastructure has been perfectly built.
B.Existing infrastructure doesn't depend on the past climate.
C.Existing infrastructure determines the future climate.
D.Existing infrastructure doesn’t fit the changing climate.
24、 I've handled chopsticks skillfully for decades. While it used to amuse me, it mildly annoys me now that Chinese react with astonishment to see a foreigner handle them—as if someone from a country that put a man on the moon would somehow be incapable of handing two simple sticks. As you can see, China’s influence stretched far and wide long before opening-up in the late 1970s or today’s Belt and Road Initiative. So the idea that most foreigners cannot use chopsticks is, simply put, fiddlesticks.
My first exposure to chopsticks came way back in the 1960s via the elementary piano tune known as Chopsticks, which aroused my curiosity as to what the word meant. Not long afterward, my parents introduced me to Chinese food at King Fong Cafe in Omaha, Nebraska, which, I only learned recently, was among the landmarks of the heartland city’s once-thriving Chinatown in the early 1900s.
In fact, I have undergone special kuaizi training (improving skills, for example, by constantly picking up peanuts when I lived with my Chinese tai chi master) and experimentation (exploring the use of chopsticks to snap up popcorn and donuts; I’m working on ice cream).
But there’s one western food for which chopsticks are truly a godsend: salads. After moving to China in 2014, I bought a salad at a convenience store, and the clerk handed me kuaizi. I refused at first, but then thought, “All right” and gave it a try.
Amazingly useful! I could pick and choose each small piece much more carefully, without having to move awkwardly trying to spear (刺) the crispy carrot or cherry tomato and then move it mouth ward.
Another clear advantage of these simplest of tools is that they regulate the pace and volume of eating. It's much harder to “pig out” by shoveling food with chopsticks than with a fork and spoon.
However, in the spirit of globalization, let’s not overlook the finer points of knife and fork. In fact, a handy thing about the fork is that everyone can basically use it with each hand. I dare to say that, for Chinese and foreigners alike, switching hands while using chopsticks is not so readily done with confidence.
【1】What makes the author feel unhappy about using chopsticks?
A.The comments on chopsticks from foreigners.
B.Incapacity to handle two simple sticks.
C.The idea that foreigners don't like chopsticks.
D.Reaction of Chinese on seeing him using chopsticks.
【2】What does the underlined word “fiddlesticks” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.nonsense B.reasonable
C.acceptable D.shameful
【3】What is the advantage of chopsticks according to the passage?
A.They can let people wolf down food easily.
B.They can spear the crispy carrot or cherry tomato.
C.They can be amazingly useful to eat western food.
D.They can help users control the pace and volume of eating.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Me and Chopsticks B.Chinese Kitchen Culture
C.The Globalization of Chopsticks D.Two Sides of Chopsticks

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。
It was the last day of the month-long summer camp. All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening. Some were setting up chairs and tables outside; some were preparing water balloons for games we would play later; and some were cutting fruits and veggies for snacks.
One of the leaders, George, came to me, handed me a small broom and a dustpan, and asked me to sweep the gym. Alone. While the others were chatting and laughing outside. While the gym was dusty and stuffy (不通风的) after weeks of camp and crafts.
I didn’t have a choice. I was sixteen, and George was my elder. I was a staff member at camp, and George was my employer. I put on as cheerful a face as I could and began to sweep the floor of the gymnasium.
Every time I made a decent (合宜的) pile of dust and scraps (残羹剩饭) to push into the dustpan, I had a nice little part of the gym cleared. But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair.
I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep.
During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well. He didn’t seem particularly excited about what he was doing, but I noted the calmness and joy in his eyes as he went about his work, doing what had to be done because he was there and he was able to do it.
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 watched him silently for the next ten minutes.
