第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 35 分）

A

Jonathan Bauer is afraid of heights, but that didn’t stop him from leaping off a bridge some 25 to 40 feet to the water below to save a little girl’s life.

On May 2, Bauer and his teenage daughter Ava were driving on the bridge over Maryland’s Assawoman Bay when they got caught in a serious five-car pileup. The accident sent eight people  to the hospital and left a pickup truck hanging dangerously over the guardrail.

After making sure Ava was okay, Bauer got out of his car to see if anyone needed help. As he headed toward the shaking truck, its passenger informed him of a heart-wrenching sight — a very young child was floating in the bay. “I looked over and saw the car seat, and then about six feet away from the car seat, I saw the little girl floating perfectly on her back, arms moving, legs kicking.” Bauer said, as reported by WJLA.

Scanning the water for nearby boats that might be able to help, Bauer found none close by. When he turned his attention back to the little girl, he saw she was in trouble. “She had turned over onto her stomach and her face was in the water,” he said.

Bauer yelled to his daughter to pull over the first firefighter or paramedic (护理人员) she saw.

Then he simply took off his shoes and jumped in, feet first.

Surfacing without injury, he swam to the child, who appeared to be only half-conscious. Lifting the child over his shoulder, he patted her back to force the water our of her system.  Moments later, boaters Joe and Alayna Oertel who had witnessed the events arrived. After pulling them to safety, the Oertels rushed the pair to the place where they were met by waiting paramedics.

Meanwhile, Bauer slid away without taking credit for his brave actions. Even after reports of  the incident went public, he initially tried to keep his involvement quiet, preferring to remain an unknown good Samaritan.

21. It can be learned from the passage that Bauer   ▲ .
    1. got into a panic at the sight of the drowning girl
    2. refused to be reported for his bravery by WJLA
    3. saved the girl by giving her instant first aid treatment
    4. hung back before jumping off the bridge for fear of heights

    2. performs good deeds out of sympathy
    3. saves others’ lives at the cost of his own
    4.    chooses to stay away from public attention 23．What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage?

1. Random acts of kindness make a difference to moral judgment.
2. Basic first-aid techniques enable us to escape from danger.
3. Heroic actions ask for no honor or approval in return.
4. Success is based on the team not the individual.

If you want to stay in shape, but don’t have the time to go to the gym, the Mobile Gym is a good solution. It’s basically a large bus filled with the latest fitness equipment. You can find everything you need for a complete workout, and here’s the best part — you don’t need to go to the gym, and the gym comes to you!

The Mobile Gym was the idea of Adam Zickerman, founder of Inform Fitness, a popular chain of gyms across the United States. It hit him when he ordered lunch from a food truck one afternoon. So why not put a gym on a truck?

Zickerman experimented with a few designs and then invested $60,000 on making adaptations and fixing machines. He didn’t really need an advertising budget as the bus advertised itself. Carole Pallmeyer, for instance, found herself driving behind the Mobile Gym one day. At first she thought it was a regular bus with ads for a gym. But then she realized the bus itself was a gym, so she booked workout sessions for her entire family. “We are all busy, but we know the bus is coming and make sure we are home at 4:30 for the workouts,” she said. “You forget you’re on a bus because the workouts are tightly scheduled.”

Unfortunately, it is illegal to use the fitness equipment while the bus is moving, so you don’t get to save time by working out during the rush time. It operates only once a week, only two clients ( 客 户 ) can be accommodated at a time on the bus. And it doesn’t come cheap. Sessions start at $100, while in-house workouts are $65. But the Mobile Gym appears to be a big hit.

“There are so many benefits to having the Mobile Gym come to you,” Zickerman said. “Only five to seven exercises complete a total-body workout when performed using our special

equipment.” He also added that a 20-minute workout might sound easy, but it is really difficult and provides instant results. “It is very challenging and clients understand quickly why rest is important between workouts.”

24．What inspired Zickerman to invent the Mobile Gym?

A．A usual order for a meal. B．A casual visit to a gym.

C．A tight schedule for workout. D．A specific experience of exercise. 25．Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the Mobile Gym?

1. It saves much of clients’ time.
2. It creates adequate private space.
3. It offers special equipment needed for a total-body workout.
4. It provides clients with an appropriate and effective workout.

26. What’s Zickerman’s attitude towards the Mobile Gym?
    1. Concerned. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Optimistic.

C

Austrian company Tec-innovation recently publicized smart shoes that use ultrasonic (超声波) sensors to help blind or vision impaired people to detect obstacles (障碍物) up to four meters away. Known as InnoMake, the smart shoe aims to become a modern alternative to the decades-old walking stick that millions of people around the world depend on to get around as safely as possible.

The currently available model relies on sensors to detect obstacles and warns the wearer via vibration (震动) and an audible warning sounded on a Bluetooth-linked smartphone. That sounds impressive enough, but the company is already working on a much more advanced version that adopts cameras and artificial intelligence to not only detect obstacles but also their nature. “Not  only is the warning that I am facing an obstacle relevant, but also the information about what kind of obstacle I am facing. Because it makes a big difference whether it’s a wall, a car or a staircase.” Markus Raffer, one of the founders of Tec-innovation, told Techxplore.

“Ultrasonic sensors on the toe of the shoe detect obstacles up to four meters away. The wearer is then warned by vibration and/or audible signals. This works very well and is already a great help to me personally,” Raffer, himself visually impaired, added. The current version of the InnoMake shoe is already available on the Tec-Innovation website, for €3,200 per pair.

The advanced system is powered by a heavy-duty battery that can last for up to one week, depending on use. The battery can be charged in just three hours, using a USB cable. “You can

make adjustments in real time with the button on the back of the device. The range can be  adjusted up to 4 meters by briefly pressing the button,” the Tec-innovation website reads. “You can activate the intelligent mode which automatically pauses the system, e.g. when you are sitting, and you can also use InnoMake as a scanner to obtain information about your environment by means of foot movement.”

27. What do we know about Tec-innovation?
    1. It was founded by visually impaired people.
    2. It aims to improve walking sticks with InnoMake.
    3. It seeks to provide blind people with better products.
    4. It advocates building a healthcare system for the disabled.
28. In what way is InnoMake better than the previous model?
    1. It assists its user to move around safely.
    2. It reminds its user of the obstacles ahead via vibration.
    3. It no longer depends on a Bluetooth-linked smartphone.
    4. It informs its user of detailed information of the obstacles.
29. The purpose of the last paragraph is to    ▲ .
    1.    introduce InnoMake’s additional functions and applications B．illustrate InnoMake’s automatic adjustment function C．explain the setting of InnoMake’s intelligent mode

D．stress the importance of charging the battery fully 30．What’s the best title for the passage?

1. Goodbye, Decades-old Walking Sticks
2.    Welcome, Smart Shoes with Ultrasonic Sensors C．Inspiring, Visually-impaired Guy Who Started a Business

D．Amazing, AI-controlled Shoes That Help the Blind Avoid Obstacles

When it comes to appreciating art, you need to have a combination of both subjective opinions and objective information. If you are not an art major, when you look at an abstract picture, the experience will be like staring at a work done by an alien (外星人). 31      

Understanding a piece of art is usually the hardest part. This difficulty lies in the reading between the lines of the painting and even the colors. Abstract paintings, for example, do their magic with colors. Even the artist can never explain their work of art.      32      Understandings  vary from person to person even if it is a simple piece of art.

      33    When you know who create a sculpture of a painting,  you will be able to  admire   any piece of artwork greatly. Once you are familiar with art from a given artist, you will be able to identify their works quickly. This may however not be easy as it may require many years of art appreciation.

It also makes sense to celebrate deep emotions in the artbridge. Whenever you take the time to analyze a piece of art, you will notice that some will grab your emotions or your eye attention. This is because different artworks need different periods of time for them to flesh out. Some artworks contain very subtle (不易察觉的) emotions that may take a lot of time to reach you.   34   You need to take a closer look for them to give out emotions that you could not see at first glance.

If you know how to appreciate art, then you have the knowledge and understanding of the timeless and universal qualities of great pieces of artwork. As you understand and value different pieces of art, the more you become subjective.     35     It is not simply to figure out whether you like or dislike it but also why you like or dislike it.

1. Knowing the artist is another step to appreciating art.
2. So, where do you begin if you want to understand art?
3. You will come to realize the final aim of evaluating art.
4. So not all of them will catch your attention at first sight.
5. You will appreciate the level of difficulty that was involved in making the piece of art.
6. However, whenever you see a piece of art, it’s not easy for you to appreciate and enjoy it.
7. Meanwhile, it doesn’t mean you may get exact meaning from what the creator wanted to convey to you.

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。

I am a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this difficult period caused by COVID-19. She was born in August and her name is Ada.

Shortly after having Ada, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned in an art class she attended weekly. She showed me how to knit ( 编 织 ) a scarf. She patiently taught me how to use the stitches (针) and gave me her half done project.

I spent a lot of time attending to my sweet little girl, but I still had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. 1 enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.

There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was

Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such freezing days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.

Due to the disease, the society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were called off and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging times, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses happily.

It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside !” Then, he came over to see whether I had finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to  satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me saying he could wait for a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project was finally accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.

注意：

Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.
