Technological progress has transformed every aspect of my life. I bank online and learn online. Just like other young people, when I’m hungry and busy, I will order food through a food delivery app, especially during the pandemic. These apps are fast and convenient.
A survey of the food delivery service online conducted in the US shows that 26% of the people surveyed use food delivery service once a week, while 24% order food 2—3 times per week. Some have meals delivered even more often, with 8% ordering 6 times per week.
However, I deleted Uber Eats from my phone two months ago. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. I can order precisely what I feel like eating. And I can have that hot meal delivered to my door within about 30 minutes with only a small fee. It’s the kind of on-demand service that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Now ordinary people, like me, lying on their couches, working late in their living rooms, or isolating themselves at home during the pandemic can enjoy it, too.
However, I was shocked when I knew that five delivery riders were killed in three months last spring. Some riders sometimes were paid at rates lower than the minimum wage or without much of the basic protection enjoyed by the rest of us. They were also doing their jobs in an unsafe working environment — our city streets. This is particularly the case in Sydney, where some major media organizations have complained about the construction of safe cycling infra-structure(基础设施)for decades and worse still, state governments have previously torn up bike paths.
So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then. I have no illusions that my standpoint will make a big difference. But I think our governments need to fight against the companies reshaping our lives and our communities for the worse to make our cities safer for everyone, including cyclists.
41. What does the survey conducted in the US tell us
A. The use of food delivery apps.
B. The quality of food delivery apps.
C. People’s preference for certain apps.
D. Influences of the food delivery service on people’s life.
42. What can we learn about Uber Eats from Paragraph 3
A. It used to deliver hot food.
B. It can satisfy different users’ demands.
C. It favors a particular group of people.
D. It was the most popular app during the pandemic.
43. What’s the main reason for the author’s deleting Uber Eats
A. The extra delivery fee.
B. The attraction from other apps.
C. Delivery riders’ safety problems.
D. Heavy traffic jams caused by delivery riders.
44. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph
A. To ask us to rethink the advantages of technological advances.
B. To call on us to play a role in the community development.
C. To state the problems of commercial companies.
D. To appeal to governments to make some changes.
45. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why I gave up using food delivery apps
B. The rise and fall of Uber Eats
C. My addiction to social apps
D. How I can live with apps
C
Are you one of those people who can tell when a storm is approaching based on the achy knees Well, you may think you are. But a study of more than 1.5 million seniors finds no relationship between rainfall and doctor visits for pain. The idea that our bodies are barometers (气压计) for all sorts of weather-related phenomena is not a new one.
Anupam Jena, who led the study said, “If you talk to people, I’d say millions and millions of people probably believe that things like rainfall cause symptoms (症状) of joint pain and stiffness (僵硬). But if you look at the studies, there’s actually been surprisingly little evidence to suggest that joint pain has something to do with rainfall.”
Most of the studies have been quite small. And we were interested in thinking about whether we could approach this question in a big data sort of way. He and his colleagues looked at information collected in more than 11 million visits that older Americans made to their primary care physicians. They compared these records with data on daily rainfall. And what they found is if you look at days when it rained compared with days when it didn’t rain, there is no difference in the proportion (比例) of visits to a doctor that involved a complaint of joint pain or back pain. They saw no “rain effect” even when it poured for seven days straight.
And if you look at the week after a period of heavy rainfall, you still see no relationship. And that doesn’t mean that factors like rainfall or temperature don’t affect joint pain or symptoms of joint stiffness. But in this sort of big data approach, they didn’t find any evidence for it. Of course, it could still be that the pain from rain is not enough to complain. It could be that patients take over-the-counter (不需处方可出售的) painkillers once these symptoms hit, and so when they see their doctor they’re not actually in enough pain to mention it.
46. What do Anupam Jena’s words indicate
A. Seeing is believing.
B. Truth is in the hands of a few.
C. Belief and truth may be two different things.
D. We should be prepared for a rainy day.
47. How did Anupam Jena carry out his research
A. By analyzing the “big data” on the Internet.
B. By surveying “rain effect” online.
C. By visiting their primary care physicians.
D. By comparing doctor visits with daily rainfall data.
48. What did Anupam Jena and his colleagues find
A. Weather can stop people who suffer joint pain from visiting doctors.
B. People go to hospital more frequently on rainy days than on sunny days.
C. It’s hard for patients to make an appointment with doctors on rainy days.
D. There is no evidence in big data to show rainfall has a relationship with joint pain.
49. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Painkillers are not allowed to be used when the pain is not serious.
B. Patients may take painkillers first when they suffer joint pain.
C. Weather-related phenomena have a strong influence on people.
D. Painkillers make patients tell a lie when they see their doctors.
50. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Pain and weather fail to connect.
B. Some people can predict rainfall.
C. The achy knees predict the coming storm.
D. The relationship between pain and rainfall is clear.
D
The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee—an annual spelling contest—now allows kids who last in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee (费用) along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon (现象), which seems to be getting worse and more intense.
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There are winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.
51. What does the author worry about
A. Youth competition is fierce. B. Youth competition is expensive.
C. Youth competition lacks fairness. D. Youth competition lacks diversity.
52. What do you know about Peggy Noonan
A. She’s also a student of the author’s teacher’s.
B. She thinks competition is a destructive quality.
C. She taught the author how to understand competition.
D. She and the author’s teacher have similar views on competition.
53. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author
A. Know our competitors well. B. Leave everything to chance.
C. Get rid of the bad things inside us. D. Learn from others’ successes and failures.
54. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives
A. People take turns to lead the race.
B. People follow parallel paths to each other.
C. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
D. No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
55. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
B. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
C. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
D. Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at ” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want ’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
66. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people (No more than 10 words)
67. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her (No more than 15 words)
68. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about (No more than 10 words)
69. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph (No more than 10 words)

Technological progress has transformed every aspect of my life. I bank online and learn online. Just like other young people, when I’m hungry and busy, I will order food through a food delivery app, especially during the pandemic. These apps are fast and convenient.
A survey of the food delivery service online conducted in the US shows that 26% of the people surveyed use food delivery service once a week, while 24% order food 2—3 times per week. Some have meals delivered even more often, with 8% ordering 6 times per week.
However, I deleted Uber Eats from my phone two months ago. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. I can order precisely what I feel like eating. And I can have that hot meal delivered to my door within about 30 minutes with only a small fee. It’s the kind of on-demand service that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Now ordinary people, like me, lying on their couches, working late in their living rooms, or isolating themselves at home during the pandemic can enjoy it, too.
However, I was shocked when I knew that five delivery riders were killed in three months last spring. Some riders sometimes were paid at rates lower than the minimum wage or without much of the basic protection enjoyed by the rest of us. They were also doing their jobs in an unsafe working environment — our city streets. This is particularly the case in Sydney, where some major media organizations have complained about the construction of safe cycling infra-structure(基础设施)for decades and worse still, state governments have previously torn up bike paths.
So I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since then. I have no illusions that my standpoint will make a big difference. But I think our governments need to fight against the companies reshaping our lives and our communities for the worse to make our cities safer for everyone, including cyclists.
41. What does the survey conducted in the US tell us
A. The use of food delivery apps.
B. The quality of food delivery apps.
C. People’s preference for certain apps.
D. Influences of the food delivery service on people’s life.
42. What can we learn about Uber Eats from Paragraph 3
A. It used to deliver hot food.
B. It can satisfy different users’ demands.
C. It favors a particular group of people.
D. It was the most popular app during the pandemic.
43. What’s the main reason for the author’s deleting Uber Eats
A. The extra delivery fee.
B. The attraction from other apps.
C. Delivery riders’ safety problems.
D. Heavy traffic jams caused by delivery riders.
44. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph
A. To ask us to rethink the advantages of technological advances.
B. To call on us to play a role in the community development.
C. To state the problems of commercial companies.
D. To appeal to governments to make some changes.
45. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why I gave up using food delivery apps
B. The rise and fall of Uber Eats
C. My addiction to social apps
D. How I can live with apps

Are you one of those people who can tell when a storm is approaching based on the achy knees Well, you may think you are. But a study of more than 1.5 million seniors finds no relationship between rainfall and doctor visits for pain. The idea that our bodies are barometers (气压计) for all sorts of weather-related phenomena is not a new one.
Anupam Jena, who led the study said, “If you talk to people, I’d say millions and millions of people probably believe that things like rainfall cause symptoms (症状) of joint pain and stiffness (僵硬). But if you look at the studies, there’s actually been surprisingly little evidence to suggest that joint pain has something to do with rainfall.”
Most of the studies have been quite small. And we were interested in thinking about whether we could approach this question in a big data sort of way. He and his colleagues looked at information collected in more than 11 million visits that older Americans made to their primary care physicians. They compared these records with data on daily rainfall. And what they found is if you look at days when it rained compared with days when it didn’t rain, there is no difference in the proportion (比例) of visits to a doctor that involved a complaint of joint pain or back pain. They saw no “rain effect” even when it poured for seven days straight.
And if you look at the week after a period of heavy rainfall, you still see no relationship. And that doesn’t mean that factors like rainfall or temperature don’t affect joint pain or symptoms of joint stiffness. But in this sort of big data approach, they didn’t find any evidence for it. Of course, it could still be that the pain from rain is not enough to complain. It could be that patients take over-the-counter (不需处方可出售的) painkillers once these symptoms hit, and so when they see their doctor they’re not actually in enough pain to mention it.
46. What do Anupam Jena’s words indicate
A. Seeing is believing.
B. Truth is in the hands of a few.
C. Belief and truth may be two different things.
D. We should be prepared for a rainy day.
47. How did Anupam Jena carry out his research
A. By analyzing the “big data” on the Internet.
B. By surveying “rain effect” online.
C. By visiting their primary care physicians.
D. By comparing doctor visits with daily rainfall data.
48. What did Anupam Jena and his colleagues find
A. Weather can stop people who suffer joint pain from visiting doctors.
B. People go to hospital more frequently on rainy days than on sunny days.
C. It’s hard for patients to make an appointment with doctors on rainy days.
D. There is no evidence in big data to show rainfall has a relationship with joint pain.
49. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Painkillers are not allowed to be used when the pain is not serious.
B. Patients may take painkillers first when they suffer joint pain.
C. Weather-related phenomena have a strong influence on people.
D. Painkillers make patients tell a lie when they see their doctors.
50. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Pain and weather fail to connect.
B. Some people can predict rainfall.
C. The achy knees predict the coming storm.
D. The relationship between pain and rainfall is clear.

The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee—an annual spelling contest—now allows kids who last in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee (费用) along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon (现象), which seems to be getting worse and more intense.
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There are winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.
51. What does the author worry about
A. Youth competition is fierce. B. Youth competition is expensive.
C. Youth competition lacks fairness. D. Youth competition lacks diversity.
52. What do you know about Peggy Noonan
A. She’s also a student of the author’s teacher’s.
B. She thinks competition is a destructive quality.
C. She taught the author how to understand competition.
D. She and the author’s teacher have similar views on competition.
53. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author
A. Know our competitors well. B. Leave everything to chance.
C. Get rid of the bad things inside us. D. Learn from others’ successes and failures.
54. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives
A. People take turns to lead the race.
B. People follow parallel paths to each other.
C. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
D. No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
55. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
B. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
C. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
D. Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at ” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want ’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
66. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people (No more than 10 words)
67. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her (No more than 15 words)
68. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about (No more than 10 words)
69. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph (No more than 10 words)
70. What do you think of Ruby Kate Give your reasons. (No more than 20 words)
【答案】66. That she often goes to them and finds them not scary.
67. Because the nursing home forbad dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to have hers looked after. Or: Because the nursing home banned dogs and Pearl had no money to have hers raised. Or: Because the nursing home didn’t allow dogs and Pearl couldn’t pay to have hers raised.
68. How Ruby Kate（the Chitseys）helped the nursing home residents.
69. She will continue to do more work to offer help.
70. Ruby Kate is kind, bright and helpful because she has devoted herself to helping people in a smart way.

【答案】Dear Peter,
I am delighted to hear from you. I have known that you have been upset because of failing in the school speech contest. Maybe the failure results from insufficient preparation or nervousness on stage. As a student, I met the same problem before. I’d like to share my ideas with you.
With many contests to take, we should not only pursue success but also enjoy the relish of competition. Even though we may fail in the contests, we should not lose heart. We should persevere until we succeed. Only in this way can we find these contests worthwhile. It’d be great if you leave the bad mood behind. We can also discuss speech skills later!
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Jin
