26、What defines (定义) a generation? Often, experts say, members of a generation are defined by the events that shaped their lives as young adults.
“World events like wars, pandemics (大流行病) and racial unrest can be especially formative,” says Meg Jay, a psychologist and author of “The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter — and How to Make the Most of Them Now”. Because our 20s are often when we have our first jobs and first relationships and first moves and first real-world experiences, these big events become important parts of our life stories.
In 2020, it was a pandemic.
For the last three months of 2020, the Monitor followed twelve 2l-year-olds from around the world. We wanted to understand how this global health crisis is encoding itself in the cultural DNA of a generation coming of age in its shadow. Their lives and circumstances as they rolled into 2021 varied wildly. But the lives of the 2l-year-olds we met had many obvious similarities. Separately, for instance, the internet was their collective lifeline to the world. In Mexico, an art student isolating in her family home posted a daily piece of art to Instagram to remind herself that time had not stopped altogether. In Germany, a labor organizer negotiated contracts and planned strikes via Zoom.
By the end of 2020, many of the world’s 21-year-olds had lost jobs; others wondered if they’d ever find one. In the U. S, youth unemployment doubled between July 2019 and July 2020. Also, the pandemic opened fault lines, and stressed old ones. In India, Jordan, and South Africa, our 21-year-olds wondered how they’d collect enough money for mobile data for online studies. In Mexico, Canada, and Germany, 21-year-olds reflected on loneliness as a privilege — that they were alone because they could isolate, their lives not dependent on doing otherwise.
We found a generation suspended (悬停) between the world they’d grown up in and uncertain arrival of their future.
【1】According to Meg Jay, what determines the future of the people in their twenties?
A.Their fundamental changes of working circumstances.
B.Their great efforts of coping with uncertainties in life.
C.Their first experiences of the major events then.
D.Their deep reflections on the attitudes to life.
【2】What does the underlined words “fault lines” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Significant employment challenges.
B.Potential social problems.
C.Special individual privileges.
D.Global health crises.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards today’s 20s?
A.Approving.
B.Negative.
C.Critical.
D.Concerned.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The World Children Have Grown up in Defines a Generation
B.A Young Generation Was Suspended But Ready to Start
C.A Great Pandemic Has Brought Various Global Crises
D.World Events Changed the Lives of Young Adults
27、A study has found that warmer waters off North America's West Coast caused many kinds of sea life to move farther north than ever before.
The study was a project of scientists from the University of California, Davis. The scientists examined waters off the coast of Northern California in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The researchers say they recognized a local of 67 species( 物种)between 2014 and 2016, during what was described as a "marine heat wave". Marine heatwaves were explained in the study as "period of extreme sea surface temperatures lasting for days to months". The 2014-2016 heatwave is thought to be the largest ever recorded. The warn water later moved south toward California.
The warmer water were partly a product of El Niño conditions during the same period, researcher noted. El Niño develops when winds off the coast of South America weaken. This enabled warm water in the western Pacific to move eastward. El Niño often causes ocean temperatures in the area to rise between 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, the study found.
The researchers reported that 37 of the 67 species they studied had never before been observed so far north as California. These creatures are native to an area hundreds of kilometers to the south, mainly around Baja California in Mexico. A few were even found north of California, off the state of Oregon. The northward travel of so many different sea creatures was considered "unprecedented"(史无前例的)by the researchers. Among the species found in the study were a meat-eating sea slug that hunts other sea slugs, a sea snail "butterfly" and purple-lined jellyfish. Another unexpected visitor was the pelagic red crab, which researchers said had only been found in areas off the coast of Mexico.
Scientists involved in the study believe the findings can provide valuable information for knowing future sea life reactions to warming oceans.
【1】What is a marine heat wave according to the passage?
A.An ocean with rough surface.
B.A wave with low temperatures.
C.A period of warmer ocean surface water.
D.A species living in extreme weather.
【2】What contributes to El Niño conditions?
A.Warmer waters.
B.Weakened winds off South America.
C.Colder sea surface.
D.Species moving northward.
【3】Why does the author mention the men-eat in sea lug in paragraph 4?
A.To point out that ocean environment becomes worse.
B.To suggest that sea creatures need separate living space.
C.To prove that many kinds of sea life can adapt to warmer waters.
D.To evidence that ocean temperature along California are higher than before.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The heatwaves disturb the life of many sea creatures.
B.The increased temperature benefits many sea creatures.
C.Sea life reactions can be valuable to predict future heatwaves.
D.The heatwaves cause many unexpected visitors to move southward.
28、 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! 【1】
According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really mean. 【2】 Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed.
And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 【3】 Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact(接触) even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian all over the room. 【4】The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep backing away —which the Latino will in return regard as coldness.
【5】 And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there's a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation, the best advice is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.
A.The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer.
B.It speaks louder than words.
C.Your body Language will give others a general impression of you.
D.And body language is particularly important when we attempt to communicate across cultures.
E.In many American cultures, it is inappropriate for men and women to touch in public.
F.Clearly, a great deal is going on when people talk.
G.For example, different societies treat the distance between people differently.
29、The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils (风险).
【1】The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _________.
A.making huge profits
B.traveling the Silk Road
C.exchanging goods and ideas
D.connecting different civilizations
【2】Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?
A.The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B.Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C.It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D.There were more natural water sources available.
【3】What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?
A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
D.Exchanging goods and ideas there was entirely without risk.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origins of the Silk Road.
B.The benefits of the Silk Road.
C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
