21、When I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs,the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.

Despite these worries,I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.

Determined to do this on my own ,I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However,I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for

a few weeks.

One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised,and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later,he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

22、A team of UK researchers recently compared the performances of 120 women and 120 men in a computer test involving switching between tasks of counting and shape recognition.

Men and women were equally capable when tasks were handled one at a time. But when the tasks were mixed up, there was a clear difference. According to the paper published in the journal BMC Psychology, both women and men slowed down and made more mistakes as the switching became more rapid. But the men were slower, taking 77 percent longer to answer, whereas women took 69 percent longer.

To make the experiment more relevant to day-to-day life, researchers tried a second test. A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of everyday tasks, such as finding restaurants on a map, doing simple math problems, answering a phone call, or deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field. Once again, women outperformed men in the test, particularly in the key-searching task.

“It suggests that in a stressed and complex situation women are more able to stop and think about what’s going on in front of them,” researcher Keith Laws of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, told BBC News. “In contrast, men had a slight impulsiveness(冲动), answering without giving much thought to their responses.”

So where do women get the ability to keep organized under pressure better than men? Researchers believe that it has its roots in evolution. In early human communities, women had to keep an eye on children while cooking meals. Meanwhile, men only needed to focus on hunting.

1What did the UK researchers find in the first experiment?

A. Men were better at counting and shape recognition than women.

B. Women made more mistakes than men when multitasking.

C. Women were better at switching between tasks than men.

D. Men and women had equal multitasking abilities.

2Why did the researchers carry out the second test?

A. To compare the results from different age groups.

B. To check the results with more difficult tasks.

C. To make the results more connected to people’s lives.

D. To check the results over a shorter period of time.

3What is the main purpose of Paragraph 4 and 5?

A. To show how men and women think differently.

B. To give advice on how to multitask.

C. To compare the roles of men and women in human communities.

D. To explain why men and women perform differently.

4What can we learn from this passage?

A. Men tend to give more thought to their responses when facing complex situations.

B. Every woman is born to be good at multitasking.

C. Men only need to focus on hunting.

D. Evolution leads to women’s outperforming men in multitasking.

23、   Humans are no strangers to widespread viruses,and each time a vaccine(疫苗)is developed, it gives us hope for the future. Now, the world is waiting for a vaccine to fight COVID-19.

Scientists worldwide have been rolling up their sleeves to work toward an effective novel coronavirus vaccine.

Under the coordination(协调)of the World Health Organization (WHO),up to 172 countries have been engaging with the "largest and most diverse COVID-19 vaccine portfolio",a plan known as the COVAX Global Vaccines Facility.

COVAX is a system for joint purchasing and balancing the risks of multiple vaccines. When a vaccine proves to be safe and effective, all countries within the facility will be able to access it, according to Xinhua.

The plan is aimed to ensure that all countries, no matter their economic status, can get the vaccine in a timely manner when one is available. It also makes sure that prices will be kept as low as possible.

A number of vaccines are now in the final stage of clinical trials," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Aug 24,adding that the goal of COVAX is to deliver at least 2 billion doses of a vaccine by the end of 2021.

According to the WHO, at present, nine potential vaccines are part of the portfolio.

To guarantee the equal access and fair assignment of COVID-19 vaccines,the WHO has said that the world needs to prevent vaccine nationalism-countries putting their own interests ahead of others in trying to secure supplies of a possible vaccine.

Vaccine nationalism only helps the virus,"Tedros said, warning that it would lead to a prolonged pandemic(疫情) if only a small number of countries got most of the supply.

Like an orchestra,we need all instruments to be played in harmony to create music that everyone enjoys," he said.

Vaccine development looks promising,as several countries have made great progress. Russia began production of its first batch of a COVID-19 vaccine on Aug 15, according to its health ministry. It's the world's first registered vaccine. Four Chinese vaccine candidates have started international stage-3 clinical trials.

1Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Russia is the first country to have made progress in fighting COVID-19.

B.COVAX ensures all the countries get the vaccine at the same time.

C.WHO plays an important role in fighting COVID-19.

D.Scientist have produced 2 billion doses of vaccines.

2What's the author's attitude towards vaccine nationalism?

A.Supportive.

B.Critical.

C.Optimistic.

D.Sympathetic.

3Tedros compared fighting COVID-19 to an orchestra to________.

A.show his deep love for music

B.make the passage more interesting

C.illustrate the similarities in between

D.stress the importance of cooperation

4What can be the best title for the text ?

25、New bike-on-demand services give a new dimension to urban sharing economy. In the 1980s, a bicycle, a radio and a sewing machine were considered as the top three _______ for Chinese couples. At the time, China was the “Kingdom of Bicycles”—bikes were key to people’s daily transportation. Now, the country _______ the world’s largest automobile market. Yet, ambitious entrepreneurs keep attempting to _______ lost glory to bikes. Their strategy, however, is changing.

GPS-enabled and painted in _______ orange, at least 100, 000 Mobikes are in service in Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Chengdu. And with its signature yellow bikes, of now connects’ about 227, 000 bicycles in 21 cities. Newcomers like Hello-bike and Ubike are catching up.

Unlike traditional public bikes that have to be borrowed at and returned to a bike stand after a journey, sharing bikes save people from such troubles. Using an intelligent lock with _______ functions to help users locate and borrow bikes, these smart bicycles can be parked in any public area _______ by a local government. Normally, they can be unlocked in seconds by simply scanning the _______ QR code on each bike. Suitable for both enthusiastic cyclists and daily short-distance commuters, the round-the- clock, hourly-charging service is obviously a (an) _______.

But bike-sharing platforms face grave (严峻的) maintenance and management challenges. Damage to and losses of bikes, along with improper parking, are often reported-despite their owner’ _______ calls for proper, considerate use. Regular disappearance and damage reports have not just __________ extra financial burdens of the bike- sharing companies, but also raised the costs of offering such a service __________ decent customers. Parking in unauthorized areas __________ a challenge to urban management, too.

That some 200 sharing bicycles were impounded (扣留) last month by the urban management authorities in Chengdu for “illegally occupying public space”, however, is not a kind of rule needed. Rather, what local government should do is to adapt to the rising trend of bike sharing, and __________ rules keeping the local conditions and people’s convenience in mind.

Bike sharing services should be welcomed by cities aspiring to promote green transport and reduce vehicle emissions and congestion. The GPS system installed on these bikes can help the service apps easily __________ the unruly (不守规矩的)users, who are less likely to repeat their mistakes if given an official warning by the urban management authorities.

The service apps do have other options besides issuing penalties. Keeping a record of customers using shared bikes and adding it to their credit record would be a(an) __________ attempt, so would recruiting volunteers to supervise and report improper use.

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。

I am a proud mother of three children. My last little baby was born in the middle of August and her name is Aida.

Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly. She had a loom (织布机) and showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf. After I learned some skills, she gave me a small loom with her half done project.

I was looking after my sweet little baby at home, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I bought a full loom set and tons of thread (线) and started to make woolen hats since it was winter.

I realized the homeless population in my town. really needed some more warm clothes. I started to give away my hats to the people asking for food outside the food shop down the street I live in.

My oldest son Siddhartha got involved in the project and made a hat as well. I found that there was a non-profit organization on the way home, which made masks for farm workers and was asking for winter warm clothing donations. I made a lot of woolen hats and gave them to the organization which would hand them out to farm workers.

Then I, together with my son, made woolen hats for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts, and gave woolen hats to all my neighbors I was close to. There was a new family that moved in down the street. I did not know them very well but why not break the ice with some handmade gifts? So I made hats for the mom and one-year-old baby. I knocked on the door and handed the gifts over and my neighbor was so happy to receive them. We talked happily and I learned she worked in a hospital.

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 new neighbor had limited knitting skills so she asked me to create sweaters for kids in hospital together.
