This is a story of a penguin that swims 5,000 miles to a beach in Brazil every year in order to visit the man who saved his life. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale (童话故事), but it’s true!
Joao Pereira de Souza is a 71-year-old retired worker and part-time fisherman. He lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He found the small penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2015.
The penguin was starving and covered in oil. Joao rescued the penguin, naming him Din Din, cleaned the oil off his feathers and fed him fish to rebuild his strength.
When Din Din recovered, Mr. de Souza set him free into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again.
The little guy wasn’t gone long though, and just a few months later, he was back at the same beach. He found Joao fishing and followed him home, staying with him for the rest of the year.
Amazingly this cycle has continued over the past five years. Each year Din Din spends about eight months with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding(繁殖) on the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.
“I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,”Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He attacks them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed(喂养) him fish and to pick him up.”
Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, said: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”
4. What was Din Din like when Joao found him
A. He couldn’t find his way back home. B. He was trapped in oil and couldn’t breathe.
C. He was hungry and weak. D. He was lying on the coast.
5. What happened a few months after Joao saved Din Din
A. Din Din returned and spent the rest of his life with Joao.
B. Din Din returned and spent about eight months a year with Joao.
C. Din Din helped Joao with fishing at the beach.
D. Din Din guided Joao to the place where he bred.
6. How does Joao describe the relationship between himself and Din Din
A. Father and child. B. Fisherman and prey. C. Partners. D. Animal and keeper.
7. Why does Din Din spend so much time with Joao, according to Professor Krajewski
A. Because Joao can help him raise his babies.
B. Because Joao helped him to live in the sea.
C. Because Joao can provide him with food and shelter.
D. Because he considers Joao as his family.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了一只企鹅每年都要游5000英里的距离来到巴西的一个海滩和它的救命恩人团聚的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The penguin was starving and covered in oil. Joao rescued the penguin, naming him Din Din, cleaned the oil off his feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild his strength.(这只企鹅快要饿死了,身上覆满了油。乔奥救了那只企鹅并叫它丁丁,清理了它羽毛上的油,每天喂它鱼,来重新恢复它的力气)”可知,这只小企鹅是饥饿的,且因长时间未进食而非常虚弱,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The little guy wasn’t gone long though, and just a few months later, he was back at the same beach.(但是这个小家伙并没有走很久,几个月后,他又回到了同一片海滩)”及第六段“Each year Din Din spends about eight months with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding on the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.(每年丁丁都会花八个月的时间和乔奥在一起,人们认为他其他的时间是在阿根廷和智利的巴塔哥尼亚海岸繁殖)”可知,这只小企鹅回到了他的身边,并且每年中有8个月的时间是个乔奥生活在一起的,故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV.(“我喜欢这只企鹅,就好像他是我的孩子一样并且我相信企鹅也爱我” Joao告诉Globo电视台)”可推知,Joao把这只企鹅当成自己的孩子一样对待,他们是父子关系。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.(我认为这只企鹅把乔奥当成了他的家人的一部分,可能也是一只企鹅)”可知,这只小企鹅把乔奥当成了自己的家人,故选D。
C
Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim Do you like swimming Yes Well, how can you learn to swim I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed and try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.
8. Why does the author compare Swimming with English learning
A. The author likes swimming.
B. The author prefers English learning to swimming.
C. Swimming is easier than English learning
D. English learning way is similar to swimming.
9. We can listen to English ___________, according to the passage.
A. on the radio B. by train C. every minute D. now and then
10. What will you do with mistakes when you speak
A. Don't make mistakes. B. Study hard.
C. Don't be afraid. D. Try not to speak English
11. We should learn English by ________.
A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing C. swimming D. A and B
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对游泳与英语学习进行了对比,并对如何学好英语提出了具体的建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.(我认为最好的办法是到水里去学习。我担心仅仅通过阅读有关游泳的书或看别人游泳,你永远也学不会游泳。英语学习也是如此。我们必须练习,练习,再练习。)”可推断,作者将游泳与英语学习相比较是因为英语学习方法类似于游泳。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We can listen to English programs on radio. (我们可以听广播里的英语节目。)”可知,我们可以听英语广播来学习英语。故选A。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. (听说对初学者来说很重要。)”和第四段“Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. (阅读和写作对高中生更重要。)”可知,英语学习,听说读写都很重要。故选D。
D
When a person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.
It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.
Many people in the US are now buying fake(假的) vaccination cards without getting a shot, as universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination.
The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around the U.S. are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices change from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the website Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”
It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, the US is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said the US is depending on “a flimsy paper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable(可靠的) national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.
There is a law that should stop people from making fake vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The US Department of Justice recently charged a person in California with making fake vaccination cards.
College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza, an electrical engineering student at Pennsylvania State University, called those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”
12. Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards
A. They are easy to get.
B. Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.
C. Students have an interest in the fake vaccination cards.
D. To get a vaccine shot is expensive.
13. Which of the following measures can NOT be used to stop the fake cards
A. Having a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.
B. Developing a reliable national digital vaccine passport app.
C. Using a digital system to record vaccine status.
D. Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.
14. What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean
A. Weak. B. Useful. C. Strict. D. Advanced.
15. What might be the writing purpose for the news report
A. To spread a digital system to record the vaccination shots.
B. To explain why the US should prevent making the fake vaccination cards.
C. The stress the influence of the COVID-19 vaccination.
D. To reduce the US university leaders’ worry about fake vaccination cards.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇文章主要介绍了伪造疫苗接种证带来的负面影响,即社会诚信,安全都遭遇了威胁,呼吁有必要引进电子接种卡和法律惩罚的手段来抑制假通行证的流通。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.(这是一张印有疾病控制和预防中心标志以及疫苗名称和日期的纸。因为它很简单,所以很容易伪造)”以及第四段“Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards.(卖家正在使用Instagram等社交媒体应用为假疫苗接种卡做广告。价格从25美元到200美元不等。美联社注意到,许多大学生似乎对购买卡感兴趣)”可知,一些大学生买假的疫苗接种卡是因为疫苗接种证是纸质的,伪造方便,而且价格也便宜,还有人直接在社交媒体上公然贩卖,很容易得到。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, the U.S. is not using a digital system to record vaccine status.(他研究国际卫生政策。他说,不像一些国家,美国没有使用数字系统来记录疫苗状况)”;““This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.(“这就是为什么我认为开发一个可靠的国家数字疫苗护照应用程序是非常重要的,”她说)”以及第六段“There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. (有一项法律应该防止人们伪造疫苗接种卡)”可知,D选项“让所有学生拍一张疫苗接种卡的照片,并将其发送到学校网站上”不能用来阻止假卡。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段、第四段内容可知,假的疫苗接种卡很容易得到;再根据划线前的句子“He said, unlike some countries, the U.S. is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. (他说,不像一些国家,美国没有使用数字系统来记录疫苗状况)”可推知,美国依靠的是“一张脆弱的纸卡”。由此推知,划线词的意思是“脆弱的”。A. Weak.脆弱的;B. Useful.有用的;C. Strict.严格的;D. Advanced.先进的。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Many people in the U.S. are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot. (许多美国人仍然不确定是否能接种疫苗。由于大学、工作场所和其他地方要求提供疫苗接种证明,一些人现在购买假疫苗接种卡而没有注射疫苗)”以及下文介绍了伪造疫苗接种证带来的负面影响以及呼吁有必要引进电子接种卡和法律惩罚的手段来抑制假通行证的流通。由此判断出,这篇新闻报道的写作目的是解释为什么美国应该防止伪造疫苗接种卡。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
There are many expressions with the word “dog”.
____16____They take their dogs for walks, give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.____17____A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. ____18____Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new skills and will not change the way they do things.
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as junkyard dogs living in places where people throw away things they do not want. Junkyard dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.____19____
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.____20____But we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
A. Dogs are loyal to people.
B. People love dogs and treat them well.
C. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills.
D. But there are many difficulties on the road to success.
E. A rainstorm may cool the weather.
F. We could say his bark is worse than his bite.
G. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【分析】本文为记叙文。主要介绍英语中许多有关狗的表达方式。
【16题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据下文的“They take their dogs for walks, give them good food and medical care.”可知, 他们带着狗散步,给它们提供良好的食物和医疗保健。由此可推断出,他们喜欢狗,善待狗。分析选项可知B. People love dogs and treat them well. (人们爱狗,善待它们)符合题意,故选B。
【17题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world” 及下文“A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.”可知,当我们说我们生活在一个狗咬狗的世界,可知,我们生活在一个竞争激烈的世界,如找一份好的工作也要竞争。分析选项可知G项(很多人竞争同一样东西,例如好工作。)符合题意,故选G。
【18题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.” 意思是说人一生中总有出头之日。下文中的转折副词“Yet”以及“some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new skills and will not change the way they do things.”可知,但年长的人不喜欢学习新事物,不会改变他们做事的方式。从而推断出“要想成功,人们往往需要学习新的技能,而不能像老年人一样”。分析选项可知C项(想要成功,人们往往需要学习新的技能)符合题意,故选C。
【19题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段大意为:有些人被以一些不好的方式来与狗比较,如对人不友好或冷漠的人们被形容为生活在垃圾场的狗。凶狠的狗通常用来看护这类场所。有人试图进入这类场所时,它们便狂吠或攻击。结合空前的“However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.”可知,虽然有些人看上去凶狠极具威胁,实际没那么严重。我们就说这种狗只会叫,即看上去凶,但却不咬人。分析选项可知F(We could say his bark is worse than his bite.)符合题意,故选F。
【20题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据句首“Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.”可知,狗一类的词汇还用来形容词天气。分析选项可知E项(A rainstorm may cool the weather.)与天气有关,并有词“the weather”的复现。故选E项。
【点睛】七选五题型考察学生把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系和把握微观信息间关联性这种题一般可从以下方面来做:
(1)看首段,跳过空格快速通读全篇,确定文章体裁,抓住文章结构,分析篇章结构,了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在,首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
(2)精读空格前后两句,利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子,可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性,从而选择正确的答案。如第2小题,根据上一句“When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world” 及下文“A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.”可知,当我们说我们生活在一个狗咬狗的世界,可知,我们生活在一个竞争激烈的世界,如找一份好的工作也要竞争。分析选项可知G项(很多人竞争同一样东西,例如好工作。)符合题意
(3)看选项,找出与空前空后句中心词同义,近义或相关性的词语,。实现关键词的对接,尤其是词(或短语)的复现。先易后难,各个突破。通过阅读选项,有可能根据选项中的关键词找出正确选项。如第5小题,根据句首“Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.”可知,狗一类的词汇还用来形容词天气。分析选项可知E项(A rainstorm may cool the weather.)与天气有关,并有词“the weather”的复现。故选E项。
(4) 解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词,连词等。如表示转折关系的but,though,however 等。
(5)最后,用代入法,检查答案是否合理,将所有选择答案放回空白处,通读全文,检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确。

52. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze. I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked U ncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to chase it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of fruitless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.

This is a story of a penguin that swims 5,000 miles to a beach in Brazil every year in order to visit the man who saved his life. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale (童话故事), but it’s true!
Joao Pereira de Souza is a 71-year-old retired worker and part-time fisherman. He lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He found the small penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2015.
The penguin was starving and covered in oil. Joao rescued the penguin, naming him Din Din, cleaned the oil off his feathers and fed him fish to rebuild his strength.
When Din Din recovered, Mr. de Souza set him free into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again.
The little guy wasn’t gone long though, and just a few months later, he was back at the same beach. He found Joao fishing and followed him home, staying with him for the rest of the year.
Amazingly, this cycle has continued over the past five years. Each year Din Din spends about eight months with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding(繁殖) on the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.
“I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,”Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He attacks them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed(喂养) him fish and to pick him up.”
Professor Krajewski a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, said: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”
4. What was Din Din like when Joao found him
A. He couldn’t find his way back home. B. He was trapped in oil and couldn’t breathe.
C. He was hungry and weak. D. He was lying on the coast.
5. What happened a few months after Joao saved Din Din
A. Din Din returned and spent the rest of his life with Joao.
B. Din Din returned and spent about eight months a year with Joao.
C. Din Din helped Joao with fishing at the beach.
D. Din Din guided Joao to the place where he bred.
6 How does Joao describe the relationship between himself and Din Din
A. Father and child. B. Fisherman and prey. C. Partners. D. Animal and keeper.
7. Why does Din Din spend so much time with Joao, according to Professor Krajewski
A. Because Joao can help him raise his babies.
B. Because Joao helped him to live in the sea.
C. Because Joao can provide him with food and shelter.
D. Because he considers Joao as his family.
C
Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim Do you like swimming Yes Well, how can you learn to swim I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, and try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.

10. What will you do with mistakes when you speak

C. Don't be afraid. D. Try not to speak English
11. We should learn English by ________.

When a person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.
It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.
Many people in the US are now buying fake(假的) vaccination cards without getting a shot, as universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination.
The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around the U.S. are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices change from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the website Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”
It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, the US is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said the US is depending on “a flimsy paper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable(可靠的) national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.
There is a law that should stop people from making fake vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The US Department of Justice recently charged a person in California with making fake vaccination cards.

52. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze. I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked U ncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
