第二部分: 阅读理解（共两节, 满分 35 分）
第一节（共 10 个小题; 每小题 分, 满分 25 分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 和 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Research shows that in the United States a great number of teenagers who once enjoyed sports no longer participate in middle or high school sports team. These teenagers say it's just not worth it. Why do promising athletes walk away from middle school or high school sports, and what should you do if your athlete decides not to play team sports
Take Madeline for example. When she was living with her family in Texas a couple of years ago, Madeline joined her middle school's track team. She was new to the sport, but she was fast. She worked hard, and she won medals. Then one day, Madeline fell and cracked a bone in her wrist. Her track season was over.
Her coaches were upset, but probably not in the way you'd expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury or encouraging her to return next season, they turned their back on her. "They shunned me for the rest of the year," recalls Madeline,
who has since moved to the East Coast. "I guess because I would no longer be winning them any medals."
"Sports lost their appeal for me," says Madeline. "I did end up trying out for the track team last year, but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out."
Talk to coaches, parents and teenagers about the downside of sports, and you'll hear the same answer: by middle school and certainly by high school, it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning.
21. What happened to Madeline
A. She got injured in the leg.
B. She missed the track season.
C. She dropped out of the track team.
D. She fell behind others in her studies.
22. What does the word "shunned" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Stayed away from. B. Got on with.
C. Made an apology to. D. Put up with.
23. Which of the following can best describe her coaches' reaction
A. Discouraging. B. Comforting.
C. Understandable. D. Reasonable.
24. Why do many athletes quit team sports in middle or high school
A. Medals no longer attract them.
B. Team sports are not exciting.
C. Injuries are more likely to happen.
D. Sports are more about winning.
B
Not everyone feels a connection with their cultural heritage, but many people do. What is it
about cultural heritage that draws these people to it Some may think traditions are old and no longer relevant, and that they are unnecessary during these modern times. But for others, exploring cultural heritage offers a variety of benefits.
Culture can give people a connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions and customs. It allows them to identify with others of similar mindsets and backgrounds. Cultural heritage can provide a sense of unity and belonging within a group and allows us to better understand previous (先前) generations and the history of where we come from.
Another benefit that comes from preserving cultural heritage as a whole is the communal support. Those that identify strongly with a certain heritage are often more likely to help out others in that same community. Real estate mogul (房地产大亨) Carl Mattone and his family are often sighted at fundraisers for local Catholic schools. Mattone was raised Catholic and attended Holy Cross High School in New York.
Cultural heritage is made up of many things large and small. We can see it in the buildings, townscapes, and even in archaeological remains. Culture can be perceived through natural sources as well: the agriculture and landscapes associated with it. It is preserved through books, artifacts, objects, pictures, photographs, art, and oral tradition. Cultural heritage is in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the religions we follow, and the skills we learn. Sometimes we can touch and see what makes up a culture; other times it is intangible.
25 . What can we learn about cultural heritage in paragraph
A. It is unnecessary in modern times.
B. It can offer people a sense of belonging.
C. It is about understanding the generations to come.
D. It connects social values, beliefs, religions and customs.
26. Why does the author mention Carl Mattone and his family
A. To praise their good deeds.
B. To ask others to do as they do.
C. To show the benefit of cultural heritage.
D. To prove they are helpful in the community.
27. What's the passage mainly about
A. The stories of cultural heritage.
B. The importance of cultural heritage.
C. The history of cultural heritage.
D. The management of cultural heritage.
C
Hoo, the online hotel room offer platform, has found that the level of staycations (宅度假) being taken across 16 global holiday hotspots has increased by an average of 18 percent when compared to this time last year.
With the cost of accommodation also climbing 16 percent, Hoo found more of an increase in domestic (国内) demand for travel. "This time last year, we were already starting to see caution where our holidays were concerned, as the growing threat of COVID caused uncertainty over travel plans. A year down the line and there's an obvious shift away from international travel," Hoo co-founder Adrian Murdock said in a statement. "Although we now remain in lockdown in many parts of the world, many are hoping that the easing of restrictions (限制) will allow domestic travel by the time the holiday season arrives."
Hoo, a British-based company, is an online platform that allows users to book a hotel room at the advertised rate or to make an offer on the room which the hotel can accept or decline in real-time. The figures it collected from 16 key tourism markets show that, currently, an average of 76 percent of all bookings are for domestic holidays, with just 24 percent of bookings being made for holidays abroad. This is an 18 percent swing when compared to the same point last year when just 58 percent of bookings were for domestic holidays.
At the same time, this domestic demand seems to have caused an increase in the cost of staycations. Hoo also analyzed hotel room rates across major cities within each nation and found that the average cost of a room per night has increased by 16 percent.
28. What can we learn from Adrian Murdock's words
A. People are worried about COVID.
B. People can travel as they like soon.
C. Domestic travel is greatly increasing.
D. International travel is not popular now.
29. How does the author present the main idea
A. By telling stories. B. By giving reasons.
C. By making comparisons. D. By showing examples.
30 . Which can be the best title of the text
A. Free to Go for Domestic Holidays
B. An Increase in the Cost of Staycations
C. International Travel or Domestic Travel
D. Staycations on the Rise Around the World

In the farmers' market, there were many other stalls (推位) with all kinds of food for sale as well as colourful rows of fruit and vegetables set out on tables. Cooked food stalls filled the air with the wonderful smells of hot tasty snacks, and the smell of fresh coffee was everywhere.
"Wow," Gus cried out, "Jam (果酱)!"
Just in front of him, there was a jam stall that sold all kinds of home-made jam. But the only kind Gus wanted was strawberry, so he bought a jar. He couldn't help but taste the jam immediately. It was OK, he frowned (波眉) and shook his head, but never as good as Rose's, whose jam was just magic.
Rose was his neighbor, an elderly lady who lived alone but liked company now and again. Her doorbell was usually too quiet before Gus and his mom moved to the village after his father's death. Gus often rang her doorbell and asked whether she needed anything from the supermarket as he and his mother were going to town. In return, Rose would often give Gus a jar of jam. Gus was amazed how jam could be so delicious, so whenever free he would be at Rose's home watching her make the super jam.
Suddenly, an idea struck Gus. Probably he could try that to make some money and help his mum. He then bought a bag of potatoes for Rose for her kind offer of wonderful jam.
