Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi, Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school.
He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship.
However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class.
“Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath. The 28-year-old man desires to help the less fortunate in society have access to justice.
4. What bothered Moturi most after he gained admission to the KSL
A. Losing his day job. B. Lacking school fees.
C. Feeding his family. D. Failing in his final exams.
5. Why did Moturi decide to score at least a credit
A. To enable his boss to sponsor him.
B. To succeed in obtaining the scholarship.
C. To graduate from the KSL ahead of time.
D. To qualify for admission for a law degree.
6. How did Moturi support himself while studying in the KSL
A. By selling daily articles. B. By offering car washing service.
C. By serving as a night watchman. D. By asking his family for financial help.
7. Which of the following can best describe Peterson Moturi
A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Imaginative. D. Generous.
C
Online grocery delivery has skyrocketed (飞涨) all over the world. Since COVID-19 cases have been declining, new companies such as Zapp, GoPuff, or Getir have entered the grocery delivery market with a mission to permanently change consumer habits. These rapid grocery delivery services make a novel promise: Groceries can be delivered within minutes to your door. This option sounds great to busy parents who cannot leave their children alone to pop into the store or people who have guests and urgently need a few extra beers without leaving the house. However, shoppers should watch out for the allure (诱惑) of rapid delivery whenever possible.
While a one-time rapid delivery is certainly harmless for the shopper and the whole market, repeatedly using such services will ultimately harm grocery shops and corner shops. So far, rapid delivery companies have been backed by capital fund (资金) to finance their costs，but they need to be profitable in the long run to survive. So they will push up prices and gradually cancel promotions once their capital funding has dried up. Last week, a delivery company was reported to have shut down after running out of cash, leaving its workers jobless. We should think about the serious outcome that may come up, such as much less lively cities that miss the small shops and delivery workers who face tight deadlines and little job security.
As consumers,we often think that our daily decisions are harmless. Just as one doughnut (甜甜圈) doesn’t compromise our healthy diet and one skipped workout doesn’t affect our fitness,one rapid delivery will not harm the little shops that make our neighborhood lively. Research shows that consumers who perform a behavior regularly for about six weeks have created a habit. So ordering rapid delivery every day will hurt our neighborhoods and make us poorer once prices increase.
Thus, approach the rapid delivery option as you would refuse to accept any other allure. Be careful not to create a habit that you might later come to regret.
8. What makes rapid grocery delivery appealing to consumers
A. Saving time and energy. B. Avoiding disease exposure.
C. Following the global trend. D. Buying highly desirable goods.
9. What consequence may the massive growth of rapid delivery have
A. Job market will be less completive.
B. Delivery services will make more profits.
C. Local commercial business will be promoted.
D. Small shops and delivery workers will be hurt.
10. What is the function of paragraph 3
A. To explain the harm of bad habits. B. To make the argument more persuasive.
C. To add some background information. D. To stress the value of decision-making.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A Delivery companies will change how we shop
B. How can we manage to avoid being cheated online
C. Shoppers should try to resist the allure of rapid delivery
D. How do grocery delivery companies affect small stores
D
The sound of children’s laughter is not something you often hear at a hospital. Yet in the hallways of Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC Hospital) in Orange, California, the joyous sound of kids having fun will soon be a common occurrence. That’s because Honda teamed up with the hospital to create a first-of-its-kind electric car made just for kids!
Shogo is the child-sized electric ride-on car, which was built by Honda through their charitable “Project Courage”, an initiative aimed at adding some much-needed happiness to the days of children battling with serious illnesses in hospital.
Shogo was made entirely by Honda’s engineers, and they’re incredibly proud of it. The car has been used at CHOC in place of wheelchairs. Now, patients can drive themselves to their treatment s in various parts of the hospital, giving them a reason to look forward to these procedures instead of dreading them.
Shogo is meant for child drivers aged 4 through 9. The car has a simple stop/go mechanism they can easily use, and it’s capable of going about one to five miles per hour. Don’t worry, though; the speed is controlled not by the kids but by a nurse or caregiver walking alongside the car.
Safety was at the top of the engineers’ minds when making Shogo. Besides, the vehicle has no doors so kids can easily get in and out, a soft-to-the-touch interior that can be washed to stay sanitary (卫生的) in a hospital setting, and it comes equipped with an I. V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder. So far, every patient who has tried Shogo has absolutely loved it!
What a fantastic invention! There’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of kids having fun, and we’re so delighted that caregivers at CHOC will get to hear that sound more often from now on.
12. Why does Honda build Shogo with CHOC Hospital
A. To improve the service quality of nurses.
B. To initiate the charitable “Project Courage”.
C. To make hospital stay more fun for sick kids.
D. To help patients know their treatment procedures.
13. What does the underlined word “dreading” mean in paragraph 3
A. Being busy with. B. Being afraid of. C. Catching up with. D. Taking control of.
14. What can help keep child drivers safe when they drive the Shogo
A. The little patients’ driving license. B. The advanced equipment on the car.
C. The design by the Honda’s engineers. D. The company of a nurse or a caregiver.
15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Shogo can be easily controlled by the child drivers.
B. Shogo can offer a tiny patient a pleasant experience.
C. More Shogoes will be used in place of wheelchairs.
D. Honda’s engineers are proud of the design of Shogo.

47. 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。
The air was thick with humidity (潮湿) inside the swimming pool hall as Elisha paced nervously near the starting blocks. The chlorine (氯气) in the air stung (使刺痛) her eyes, but these were mild concerns compared to the matter which seemed largest in her mind: the result of the state semi-finals (半决赛). The young 16-year-old had trained hard and devoted her entire life so far to swimming. Almost as soon as she could walk, Elisha had taken like a fish to the water and gave her whole body, mind, and spirit to the sport.
She always loved being in the water, whether to cool off on a hot summer’s day or to forget about her troubles at school — the waves simply carried it all away. But for Elisha, swimming was not merely for recreation. Her father, a retired athlete-turned-coach, always pushed Elisha to find out the extent of her talents and abilities. Her whole family, in fact, were full of amateur and professional athletes, especially her older brothers and sisters who had gone on to play in the NCSA at university.
There was no way she could let them all down. Not here, and not now. Finally, the time had come: the 400-meter medley (混合泳) relay. In a team of four swimmers, she was the last one to go in the relay. It would be all on her to secure first place for her team. She had done well in the swimming meet so far, but this last relay would determine whether she and her team would move on to the state finals. It all came down to her to bring it home.
At the sound of the buzzer (蜂鸣器), the swimmers all dove into the water. Kayce e with the freestyle stroke, Lizzie with the breaststroke, and finally Susan with the backstroke. Elisha’s heart pounded as she readied herself for take-off.
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。
Just as Susan was coming in close, a small child fell into the deep end of the pool.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Elisha, out of breath, pulled herself up out of the pool.

Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school.
He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship.
However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class.
“Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath. The 28-year-old man desires to help the less fortunate in society have access to justice.
4. What bothered Moturi most after he gained admission to the KSL
A. Losing his day job. B. Lacking school fees.
C. Feeding his family. D. Failing in his final exams.
5 Why did Moturi decide to score at least a credit
A. To enable his boss to sponsor him.
B. To succeed in obtaining the scholarship.
C. To graduate from the KSL ahead of time.
D. To qualify for admission for a law degree.
6. How did Moturi support himself while studying in the KSL
A. By selling daily articles. B. By offering car washing service.
C. By serving as a night watchman. D. By asking his family for financial help.
7. Which of the following can best describe Peterson Moturi
A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Imaginative. D. Generous.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

Online grocery delivery has skyrocketed (飞涨) all over the world. Since COVID-19 cases have been declining, new companies such as Zapp, GoPuff, or Getir have entered the grocery delivery market with a mission to permanently change consumer habits. These rapid grocery delivery services make a novel promise: Groceries can be delivered within minutes to your door. This option sounds great to busy parents who cannot leave their children alone to pop into the store or people who have guests and urgently need a few extra beers without leaving the house. However, shoppers should watch out for the allure (诱惑) of rapid delivery whenever possible.
While a one-time rapid delivery is certainly harmless for the shopper and the whole market, repeatedly using such services will ultimately harm grocery shops and corner shops. So far, rapid delivery companies have been backed by capital fund (资金) to finance their costs，but they need to be profitable in the long run to survive. So they will push up prices and gradually cancel promotions once their capital funding has dried up. Last week, a delivery company was reported to have shut down after running out of cash, leaving its workers jobless. We should think about the serious outcome that may come up, such as much less lively cities that miss the small shops and delivery workers who face tight deadlines and little job security.
As consumers,we often think that our daily decisions are harmless. Just as one doughnut (甜甜圈) doesn’t compromise our healthy diet and one skipped workout doesn’t affect our fitness,one rapid delivery will not harm the little shops that make our neighborhood lively. Research shows that consumers who perform a behavior regularly for about six weeks have created a habit. So ordering rapid delivery every day will hurt our neighborhoods and make us poorer once prices increase.
Thus, approach the rapid delivery option as you would refuse to accept any other allure. Be careful not to create a habit that you might later come to regret.
8. What makes rapid grocery delivery appealing to consumers
A. Saving time and energy. B. Avoiding disease exposure.
C. Following the global trend. D. Buying highly desirable goods.
9. What consequence may the massive growth of rapid delivery have
A. Job market will be less completive.
B. Delivery services will make more profits.
C. Local commercial business will be promoted.
D. Small shops and delivery workers will be hurt.
10. What is the function of paragraph 3
A. To explain the harm of bad habits. B. To make the argument more persuasive.
C. To add some background information. D. To stress the value of decision-making.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Delivery companies will change how we shop
B. How can we manage to avoid being cheated online
C. Shoppers should try to resist the allure of rapid delivery
D. How do grocery delivery companies affect small stores
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了购物者应努力抵制网购快递服务诱惑的理由。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“This option sounds great to busy parents who cannot leave their children alone to pop into the store or people who have guests and urgently need a few extra beers without leaving the house.（对于那些忙得不能把孩子一个人留在店里的父母或者有客人，急需在家里多喝几瓶啤酒的人来说，这个选择听起来很棒。）”可知，吸引消费者的是快递配送能够节省时间和精力。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“While a one-time rapid delivery is certainly harmless for the shopper and the whole market, repeatedly using such services will ultimately harm grocery shops and corner shops.(虽然一次性快速配送对购物者和整个市场来说肯定是无害的，但重复使用此类服务最终会伤害杂货店和街角商店。)”“We should think about the serious outcome that may come up, such as much less lively cities that miss the small shops and delivery workers who face tight deadlines and little job security（我们应该考虑可能会出现的严重后果，比如不那么热闹的城市，错过了小商店和面临紧迫的截止日期和几乎没有工作保障的快递员）”可知，快递的大规模增长会给小商店和快递员造成损害。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Research shows that consumers who perform a behavior regularly for about six weeks have created a habit. So ordering rapid delivery every day will hurt our neighborhoods and make us poorer once prices increase.（研究表明，经常做一件事六周左右的消费者已经养成了一种习惯。因此，一旦价格上涨，每天订购快速送货会伤害我们的社区，让我们变得更穷。）”主要阐述了消费者容易网购成瘾，一旦养成习惯会给小商店和消费者自身带来损害。也就是进一步阐述抵制快递的原因，使文章论点更有说服力。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。文章主要论述了购物者应努力抵制网购快递服务诱惑的理由。根据第一段的中心句“However, shoppers should watch out for the allure of rapid delivery whenever possible.（然而，购物者应该尽可能地警惕快速配送的诱惑。）”以及最后一段“Thus, approach the rapid delivery option as you would refuse to accept any other allure. Be careful not to create a habit that you might later come to regret.（因此，对待快速交货的选择，就像你拒绝接受任何其他诱惑一样。小心不要养成一个你以后可能会后悔的习惯。）”可知，最佳标题是“购物者应该努力抵制快速送货的诱惑”，故选C。

The sound of children’s laughter is not something you often hear at a hospital. Yet in the hallways of Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC Hospital) in Orange, California, the joyous sound of kids having fun will soon be a common occurrence. That’s because Honda teamed up with the hospital to create a first-of-its-kind electric car made just for kids!
Shogo is the child-sized electric ride-on car, which was built by Honda through their charitable “Project Courage”, an initiative aimed at adding some much-needed happiness to the days of children battling with serious illnesses in hospital.
Shogo was made entirely by Honda’s engineers, and they’re incredibly proud of it. The car has been used at CHOC in place of wheelchairs. Now, patients can drive themselves to their treatment s in various parts of the hospital, giving them a reason to look forward to these procedures instead of dreading them.
Shogo is meant for child drivers aged 4 through 9. The car has a simple stop/go mechanism they can easily use, and it’s capable of going about one to five miles per hour. Don’t worry, though; the speed is controlled not by the kids but by a nurse or caregiver walking alongside the car.
Safety was at the top of the engineers’ minds when making Shogo. Besides, the vehicle has no doors so kids can easily get in and out, a soft-to-the-touch interior that can be washed to stay sanitary (卫生的) in a hospital setting, and it comes equipped with an I. V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder. So far, every patient who has tried Shogo has absolutely loved it!
What a fantastic invention! There’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of kids having fun, and we’re so delighted that caregivers at CHOC will get to hear that sound more often from now on.
12. Why does Honda build Shogo with CHOC Hospital
A. To improve the service quality of nurses.
B. To initiate the charitable “Project Courage”.
C. To make hospital stay more fun for sick kids.
D. To help patients know their treatment procedures.
13. What does the underlined word “dreading” mean in paragraph 3
A. Being busy with. B. Being afraid of. C. Catching up with. D. Taking control of.
14. What can help keep child drivers safe when they drive the Shogo
A. The little patients’ driving license. B. The advanced equipment on the car.
C. The design by the Honda’s engineers. D. The company of a nurse or a caregiver.
15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Shogo can be easily controlled by the child drivers.
B. Shogo can offer a tiny patient a pleasant experience.
C. More Shogoes will be used in place of wheelchairs.
D. Honda’s engineers are proud of the design of Shogo.

V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder.

47. 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。
The air was thick with humidity (潮湿) inside the swimming pool hall as Elisha paced nervously near the starting blocks. The chlorine (氯气) in the air stung (使刺痛) her eyes, but these were mild concerns compared to the matter which seemed largest in her mind: the result of the state semi-finals (半决赛). The young 16-year-old had trained hard and devoted her entire life so far to swimming. Almost as soon as she could walk, Elisha had taken like a fish to the water and gave her whole body, mind, and spirit to the sport.
She always loved being in the water, whether to cool off on a hot summer’s day or to forget about her troubles at school — the waves simply carried it all away. But for Elisha, swimming was not merely for recreation. Her father, a retired athlete-turned-coach, always pushed Elisha to find out the extent of her talents and abilities. Her whole family, in fact, were full of amateur and professional athletes, especially her older brothers and sisters who had gone on to play in the NCSA at university.
There was no way she could let them all down. Not here, and not now. Finally, the time had come: the 400-meter medley (混合泳) relay. In a team of four swimmers, she was the last one to go in the relay. It would be all on her to secure first place for her team. She had done well in the swimming meet so far, but this last relay would determine whether she and her team would move on to the state finals. It all came down to her to bring it home.
At the sound of the buzzer (蜂鸣器), the swimmers all dove into the water. Kayce e with the freestyle stroke, Lizzie with the breaststroke, and finally Susan with the backstroke. Elisha’s heart pounded as she readied herself for take-off.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Just as Susan was coming in close, a small child fell into the deep end of the pool.

Elisha, out of breath, pulled herself up out of the pool.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Just as Susan was coming in close, a small child fell into the deep end of the pool. Without any hesitation, Elisha turned her attention to the child crying for help in the water. Thanks to her fish-like speed, in one swift motion Elisha scooped the child up and out of the water. Turning to face her lane, Elisha sped back through the water to her starting position and then made her way toward the finish line.
Elisha, out of breath, pulled herself up out of the pool. Her father and her teammates came running over to help her to her feet and — to her amazement — she heard a loud cheer coming from the crowd. When Elisha heard the news that her team finished last in the final event, she nearly broke down into tears. But her dad gave her a big hug and told her that it’s all right — she will always be a winner in his heart.
