21、 When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance — nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric (布料) to make one large piece of fabric. In my family, quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States, quilting was a craft (手艺) that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that they could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other. They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”, where they would meet and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From them, we can tell where a person lived, what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt. Even today, women still gather to quilt together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft, just like the old days. My sister has tried quilting a few times, and hopefully, her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.
【1】What do we know about quilting?
A.It is a lost traditional craft.
B.It is a major means of making a living in the USA.
C.It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.
D.It was a way to carry on the American history.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Introduce a new topic for discussion.
B.Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C.Add some background information.
D.Praise the U.S. government’s policy.
【3】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Working on the land. B.Participating in “quilting bees”.
C.Clothing the family. D.Designing a quilting project.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Quilting patterns can convey limited information.
B.Quilting can’t meet the need to socialize nowadays.
C.Quilting is not a tradition in the author’s family.
D.The author hopes quilting can be passed on to younger generations.
22、
A．Just Opposite My Opinion
B．Joy of Missing Out

A．You are busy with a report, so you don't have to attend a staff meeting.
B．You are not feeling well, so you are allowed to leave the work earlier.
C．You received a dinner party invitation, but you preferred to stay home.
D．You were tired out after work, but you heard your favorite song on the radio.
【3】The word “zeitgeist” (in the last paragraph) probably refers to ________.
A．a mixed or unfavorable feeling toward technology

C．the fear of negative influence of technology on people
D．the lack of ability to use technology properly
23、Although it is a business not many are aware of, sidewalk robots are set to become an industry with annual sales of $1 billion within a decade. These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines, usually the size of a suitcase, are already delivering groceries in America, China and Europe, which puts them ahead of many driverless cars and lorries being developed.
Those bigger vehicles are held back not by technology but regulation. This means having a “safety driver” on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labour-saving. For these larger vehicles, regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved. In January 2022, Britain’s Law Commission, which reviews lawmaking, recommended that it should not be the person in the driver’s seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes, but the manufacturer or the body that sought approval for its use.
However, sidewalk robots are getting on with the job. For example, Starship Technologies, based in San Francisco, estimates it has already clocked up more than 2.5 million deliveries with robots in a number of cities, universities and business parks in Europe and America. Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine. Kiwibot, a Colombian startup, is making sidewalk deliveries in California. Udelv, a Californian firm, is developing a larger type called Transporter to operate at highway speeds.
Sidewalk robots carry a few bags of groceries using a variety of sensors, including cameras, radar and GPS to navigate and avoid obstacles and people. Their progress can be monitored on a phone app, which also unlocks them for goods to be removed. As they are small, move slowly and are “telemonitored” by people in a control room who can take over, authorities seem more willing to give them a green light.
Such robots are becoming more autonomous. Being much further along the road in earning their keep, these delivery robots are helping to pave the way for the time when bigger autonomous vehicles can join them.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Problems caused by autonomous cars.
B．Suggestions for producing intelligent robots.
C．Challenges faced by large driverless vehicles.
D．The innovative technology of delivery vehicles.
【2】Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 3?
A．To prove the safety of autonomous machines.
B．To present the development of sidewalk robots.
C．To encourage the public to create more robots.
D．To show the advantages of self-driving technology.
【3】What can we know about sidewalk robots?
A．They are environmentally friendly.
B．They can distinguish traffic lights on the road.
C．They make deliveries faster than ordinary trucks.
D．They make it easy for people to track the delivery process.
【4】Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from?
A．Sports and music.
B．Business and culture.
C．Science and technology.
D．Nature and geography.
24、 The three phases of life are increasingly a thing of the past. Where once working lives fitted neatly into the model of education, employment and then retirement, the simplicity of that division is being challenged by changing standards of the workforce.
Increasing numbers of workers, nearing their long-imagined transition into retirement, seem to be actively postponing the moment at which they down tools. Newly released figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown that there are over a million more over 50s in part-time work than a decade ago. And with nine out of 10 employers reporting difficulties hiring workers, there’s likely to be a growing market for their talents as bosses extend their searches to older people, including those who are willing to take on part-time responsibilities.
The ending of the three phases of working life isn’t simply down to people living longer or financial necessity － though those are certainly important factors － but also to an increasing desire to maintain a purposeful life. One survey of British retirees over 50 found that 85 per cent of them felt they’d retired too young – stopping working had left a void that they subsequently regretted.
The 2015 film The Intern conveyed this human need to have value. In it, Robert De Niro plays a 70-year-old widower who finds himself a fish out of water when he joins a trendy internet start-up. In the end, not only does he find the sense of belonging that he craves but his colleagues come to rely on his experience and different perspective. It’s a plot we can increasingly expect to play out in real-life offices over the decades to come as people live ever longer.
Already, we are seeing people in their 50s and 60s looking ahead to a retirement lasting 30 years, choosing instead to build second careers that they can maintain into their 70s or beyond. Freed from the financial burden of young children, they can prioritise flexibility, shorter working hours or more rewarding jobs in areas such as charity work or teaching. Many do it for no money at all, volunteering behind the till in charity shops or showing people round National Trust properties.
However, it’s the next generation where the effect of living longer will really be felt, and the financial necessity will start to bite. In the West, more than half of the children born in 2016 have a life expectancy of more than 100 years. In their book, The 100-Year Life, London Business School professors Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott suggest that acquiring sufficient funds to see oneself through a 40- or 50-year retirement will likely be beyond all but the highest earners.
Then there’s the often repeated claim that young people today are the first generation to be poorer than their parents. Certainly property prices are changing the way they plan for the future. In the mid-Nineties, the average home cost less than three times the average wage; last year, ONS stats placed that ratio at eight times wages.
The overall effect of these trends is that young people recognize that they will likely have to postpone dreams of retirement and instead strap on(绑住) more debt spread over longer spans. It’s why 44 per cent of under 30s say they expect to be working well into their 70s and why data this year from the Bank of England show that 16 per cent of UK mortgages(按揭贷款) now have terms of 35 years or more – a figure that has tripled in the past decade.
All of these factors look set to contribute to a workforce that has a significantly wider range of ages in the future. In an era of work when we’ve all learned to be more inclusive, only eight per cent of firms with a diversity programme have adapted it to go beyond gender, race and sexuality and into age. Incorporating older employees into the workforce is set to be the next big thing at the office.
If Robert De Niro has anything to teach us, it’s that this can be an enormous force for good for both employees and businesses.
【1】What do the underlined words “down tools” in Paragraph 2 mean?

【6】What does the passage mainly talk about?

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。
At nine years old, I went through more than the usual amount of change for a girl of my age. In the past few months, my stable and predictable life had been turned upside down when my parents lost their jobs because of the economic crisis. This set into motion a series of events, including my parents losing our beautiful Victorian home and forcing our family into a fifteen - foot pull trailer we’d previously only used for weekend camping trips.
Life in the trailer was tough. We were incredibly crowded. When Mom, Dad, my brother and I all sat on the sofa at the end of the trailer, the entire front end began to tip in our direction, forcing one of us to jump up and rush to the front. Worse still, our food was not enough.
One day, my mother sat at the small table and casually wrote a wishing list on a paper towel — all about food, while keeping an eye on the last of our food, fried chicken, on the stovetop. “We need to pray,” she said aloud. “We don’t have enough food to last the week.” Then we joined hands and asked God to offer us some food.
Then Mom left the wishing list on the table, got up and started putting the chicken on a plate for dinner. I opened the tiny door and let the smell of dinner follow me as I wandered outside to find my dad. He was working on our broken-down truck. As Dad leaned over the engine, I noticed a disheveled man walking up to our trailer.
“Can I help you, sir?” my dad asked in his friendly way.
“I’m hoping you can,” he said, “I’m hungry and was wondering if you had any food to spare.”
I looked up at Dad, knowing we didn’t have much.
“Sure!” Dad said without hesitation. He brushed off his hands and went inside, quickly returning with a fresh piece of fried chicken wrapped in a paper towel. The man’s face lit up.
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。
The man took the wrapped food and paused for a while.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Actually, our family didn’t expect the man would return, so we got across the parking lot for a walk after dinner.
