Then one day my cousin decided she wanted to have cooking classes. She didn’t want to do them on her own, though. I agreed to go along. You could do one-day, three-day or one-week courses. We thought a week should be enough to get us started, so we chose that during the summer holidays.When we got there on the first morning, loads of people had already arrived. I knew it was a popular course, with lots of teenagers like me there. What I hadn’t expected was that there’d be so many teachers -you got plenty of help that way and I certainly needed it.We learnt how to bake a cake in the first class. And that was a really good way to get started. Another thing we did was go out and visit places. We didn’t go to any restaurants. There were a few markets nearby. And we visited one of the best ones. We passed a couple of supermarkets on the way, but we didn’t go in.

On September 18, 2020, people gathered on the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, singing songs like Amazing Grace. Some placed twinkling candles on the steps. Others left flowers and messages. They were there to mourn (哀悼)the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away at the age of 87.
Ginsburg was the second-ever female justice(法官)on the US Supreme Court, the most powerful court in the United States. She served in that position from 1993 until her death. During her long career, Justice Ginsburg fought for women’s equality and human rights for everyone.
Because she was a woman, she had many barriers placed in her path by people who, at the time, felt that women should not have the same rights as men. When she attended Harvard Law School in 1956, she was only one of nine women in her class. The rest of the class-541 students- were men. It wasn’t that other women weren’t smart or talented enough to get in, but because there was a tendency against women attending schools like Harvard Law, so many were turned away while similarly qualified men were accepted. Ginsburg also faced discrimination(歧视)because she was Jewish.
Ginsburg knew that men and women are equal. As a lawyer and later as a judge, she devoted her life to fighting for that principle.
One of her most famous rulings as a Supreme Court justice involved the Virginia Military Institute(VMI), which, in 1996, only allowed males to attend. Ginsburg wrote a ruling that persuaded the other justices that not allowing women into the institute was against the 14th Amendment (修正案), which explains that all people in US have equal rights. Today, about 10％ of the students at VMI are female.
Ginsburg was so inspirational that people wrote books, movies and songs about her. Children went out for Halloween dressed as her, wearing the black justice robes and white collars and other neck pieces she often wore.
24. What trouble did Ginsburg have in attending Harvard Law School?
A. Competition with qualified men. B. Discrimination against females.
C. Worry about her future career. D. Lack of talent.
25. Which of the following can best describe Ginsburg?
A. Influential and strong-willed. B. Qualified and creative.
C. Generous and devoted. D. Ambitious and demanding.
26. What can we learn from the text?
A. The US Supreme Court never had female justices before Ginsburg.
B. The percentage of females at VMI is higher than that of males.
C. Ginsburg was the only Jewish female in the university.
D. People honored Ginsburg in various ways.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Pursuit of Equality
B. Fighting Discrimination Beyond All Price
C. An American Hero Fighting for Gender Equality
D. An Inspirational Justice Fighting Against Her Fate
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是美国最高法院有史以来第二位女性大法官Ginsburg的成就及她对人们的影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It wasn’t that other women weren’t smart or talented enough to get in, but because there was a tendency against women attending schools like Harvard Law, so many were turned away while similarly qualified men were accepted.(这并不是说其他女性不够聪明或才华不足，而是因为当时有一种反对女性进入哈佛法学院这样的学校的趋势，所以很多人被拒之门外，而同样合格的男性却被录取了)”可知，Ginsburg在进入哈佛法学院时遇到的困难是当时对女性的歧视。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“During her long career, Justice Ginsburg fought for women's equality and human rights for everyone.(在她漫长的职业生涯中，金斯伯格大法官为妇女平等和每个人的人权而奋斗。)”和第四段的“As a lawyer and later as a judge, she devoted her life to fighting for that principle.(作为一名律师，后来成为一名法官，她将自己的一生都奉献给了为这一原则而奋斗的事业。)”可知，她是意志坚强的，即strong-willed；根据最后一段的“Ginsburg was so inspirational that people wrote books, movies and songs about her. Children went out for Halloween dressed as her, wearing the black justice robes and white collars and other neck pieces she often wore.(金斯伯格是如此鼓舞人心，以至于人们写了关于她的书、电影和歌曲。孩子们打扮成她的样子出去过万圣节，穿着她经常穿的黑色法官袍、白色衣领和其他衣领)”可知，她是有影响力的人，即influential，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“On September 18, 2020, people gathered on the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, singing songs like Amazing Grace. Some placed twinkling candles on the steps. Others left flowers and messages.(2020年9月18日，人们聚集在美国华盛顿特区最高法院前的台阶上，高唱《Amazing Grace》等歌曲。有些人在台阶上放了闪烁的蜡烛。其他人留下了鲜花和留言)”可知，人们以各种方式纪念Ginsburg。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Ginsburg was the second-ever female justice on the US Supreme Court, the most powerful court in the United States. She served in that position from 1993 until her death. During her long career, Justice Ginsburg fought for women’s equality and human rights for everyone.(金斯伯格是美国最高法院有史以来第二位女性大法官，最高法院是美国最有权力的法院。她从1993年起担任该职位直到去世。在她漫长的职业生涯中，金斯伯格大法官为妇女平等和每个人的人权而奋斗)”可知，本文主要讲的是美国最高法院有史以来第二位女性大法官Ginsburg的成就及她对人们的影响，因此最好的题目是C选项“An American Hero Fighting for Gender Equality(为性别平等而战的美国英雄)”，故选C。
C
Parenting techniques may have long lasting consequences for behavior—even when it comes to dogs.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania studied the early development, parenting and the following performance of 98 puppies who underwent guide dog training. Dogs who received more independence and less support from their mothers were more likely to be successful in becoming a guide dog. The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Mom-pup interactions were used to define how highly involved the puppy’s mothers were. Puppies raised with highly involved mothers were more likely to be released—or dropped out from the guide dog program—compared to those with less attentive mothers.
“Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing,” said lead study researcher Emily Bray. Although the study couldn’t definitely point to what was driving this effect, “one possibility is that the dogs that are having overbearing(专横的)mothers are never given the chance to deal with small challenges on their own, and is harmful to their later behavior and outcome in their problem solving. Another possibility is that the puppies for whom the mothers are always around are also the most anxious or stressed,” she explained.
“What I was happy about was that there is a study being done about early life experiences in dogs,” another researcher Dolores Hole said. “If the mom is trying to protect her pups against small challenges, then they will not be suited for the big challenges.”
The study included three breeds(品种):German shepherds, Labrador retrievers and Golden retrievers. The puppies were followed from the first weeks of life for several years. Interestingly, Labrador retrievers tended to wash out from the program, while Golden retrievers tended to succeed.
As for whether the findings can be applied to human babies of so-called “helicopter parents,” Bray was hesitant.
“I think people can draw parallels(相似之处), but I think you also have to be careful because they are different species,” she said.
She added, “The nice thing about dogs is that they are a lot less complicated than humans.”
28. What makes successful guide dogs according to the study?
A. Less attentive owners. B. More practical training.
C. Less supportive mothers. D. More tense environment.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The necessity of mom-pup interactions.
B. Some characteristics of good guide dogs.
C. The significance of high parental involvement.
D. Potential causes of some puppies’ poor performance.
30. What can we know about Labrador retrievers in the study?
A. They choose to stay. B. They fail to be qualified.
C. They rise to challenges. D. They are easy to notice.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Parenting techniques can apply to guide dogs
B. Guide dogs are less complicated than humans
C. Researchers help raise public awareness of blind people
D. A study is done about early life experiences of human babies
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dogs who received more independence and less support from their mothers were more likely to be successful in becoming a guide dog. (从母亲那里获得更多独立性和较少支持狗更有可能成功成为导盲犬。)”可知，来自母亲的支持更少的狗狗更可能成为一条成功的导盲犬。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“one possibility is that the dogs that are having overbearing（专横的）mothers are never given the chance to deal with small challenges on their own, and is harmful to their later behavior and outcome in their problem solving. Another possibility is that the puppies for whom the mothers are always around are also the most anxious or stressed.(一种可能是，那些有专横的母亲的狗从来没有机会自己处理小挑战，这对它们以后的行为和解决问题的结果是有害的。另一种可能是，总是有妈妈在身边的小狗也是最焦虑或压力最大的。)”可知，本段主要说明了有一些狗狗不能成为导盲犬的原因，即第四段主要分析了使得狗宝宝表现不佳的原因。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“The study included three breeds（品种）:German shepherds, Labrador retrievers and Golden retrievers. The puppies were followed from the first weeks of life for several years. Interestingly, Labrador retrievers tended to wash out from the program, while Golden retrievers tended to succeed.(该研究的研究对象包括三个品种：德牧、拉布拉多和金毛。这些幼犬从出生后几周就被跟踪观察了数年。有趣的是，拉布拉多猎犬往往会被淘汰，而金毛往往会成功。)”可知，拉布拉多猎犬往往会被淘汰，而金毛往往会成功。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本文通过实验举例分析了父母早期教育对于犬类日后成长发展的影响，并探讨了不同教育对于犬类的不同影响。A选项“Parenting techniques can apply to guide dogs.( 育儿技巧也适用于导盲犬)”最能概括文章内容。故选A。

Why can’t we stop longing for the good old days
People in many countries are longing for the good old days. But when exactly were the good old days? Podcaster Jason Feifer devoted an episode of his program to this question. The most popular answer seemed to be the 1950s, so Mr. Feifer asked historians whether Americans in that decade thought it was particularly pleasant. Definitely not. In the 1950s, American sociologists worried that rampant individualism was tearing the family apart. There were serious racial and class tensions, and everyone lived under the nuclear threat.
In fact, many in the 1950s thought that the good old days were to be found a generation earlier, in the 1920s. But in the 1920s, child psychologist John Watson warned that because of increasing divorce races, the American family would soon cease to exist. Many people at the time idealized the Victor inn era, when families are strong and children respected their elders.
Why are human beings always so nostalgia for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them? One possibility is that we know we survived past dangers, so they seem smaller now. But we can never be certain we will solve the problems we are facing today. Radio didn't ruin the younger generation, but maybe the smart phone will.
Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often colored by personal nostalgia. When were the good old days? Was it, by chance, the incredibly short period when you happened to be young? A U.S. Poll found that people born in the 1930s and 1940s thought the 1950s was America’s best decade, while those born in the 1960s and 1970s preferred the 1980s.
This kind of nostalgia has neurological roots. Researchers have found that we encode more memories during adolescence and early adult hood than any other period of our lives, and when we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. Moreover, as we grow more distant from past events, we tend to remember them more positively.
Obviously, some things readily were better in the past. But our instinctive nostalgia for the good old days can easily deceive us, with dangerous consequences. Longing for the past and fear of the future inhibit the experiments and innovations that drive progress.
Vaccination, steam engines, railroads and electricity all met with strong resistance when they were first introduced. The point isn’t to show how silly previous generations were. The same kinds of anxieties have been expressed in our own time about innovations like the internet, video games and stem-cell research.
And not all fears about the future are unbounded. New technologies do result in accidents, they disturb traditional cultures and habits, and they destroy old jobs while creating new ones. But the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce risks is by trial and error. The future won’t be perfect, but neither were the good old days.
32. The word “rampant” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________
A. limited B. reasonable C. uncontrolled D. traditional
33. According to the passage, the 1950s was a period of time ________.
A. when American families still remained strong and children respected their elders
B. that was believed by Americans born in the 1930s and the 1940s to be the best decade
C. that saw a sharp increase in individualism and divorce rate in American society
D. when radical and class tensions became more serious but people no longer lived under the nuclear threat
34. The good old days were usually the time when people were young because ________
① people have a better memory of adolescence and early adulthood.
② More dangerous things happen during their youth and they learned how to survive them.
③ The dangers in youth were smaller and easier for people to deal with.
④ people remember events in their youth more positively as time goes by.
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ①④ D. ②④
35. What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?
A. The current generation is not as silly As the previous generations.
B. It is unwise to be simply opposed to any new inventions and technologies.
C. People are constantly deceived by their instinctive nostalgia for the good old days.
D. The internet, video games and stem-cell research pose great threats to humanity.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“A U.S. Poll found that people born in the 1930s and 1940s thought the 1950s was America’s best decade, while those born in the 1960s and 1970s preferred the 1980s.(美国一项民意调查发现，30后和40后认为50年代是美国最好的十年，而60后和70后更喜欢80年代)”可知，出生在30年代和40年代的美国人认为20世纪50年代是最好的十年。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中“Researchers have found that we encode more memories during adolescence and early adult hood than any other period of our lives, and when we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. Moreover, as we grow more distant from past events, we tend to remember them more positively.(研究人员发现，我们在青春期和成年早期编码的记忆比我们生命中的其他任何时期都要多，当我们回想过去时，这是我们最常回想的时期。此外，随着我们对过去的事件越来越疏远，我们往往会更积极地记住它们)”可知，过去的好日子通常是人们年轻的时候，因为人们对青春期和成年早期有更好的记忆以及随着时间的推移，人们对年轻时发生的事情的记忆会更加积极。故选C。

New technologies do result in accidents, they disturb traditional cultures and habits, and they destroy old jobs while creating new ones. But the only way to beam how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce risks is by trial and error. The future won't be perfect, but neither were the good old days.(并不是所有对未来的恐惧都是无限的。新技术确实会导致事故，它们扰乱了传统文化和习惯，在创造新工作的同时也破坏了旧工作。但是，要想知道如何最好地利用新技术并降低风险，唯一的方法就是尝试和犯错。未来不会完美，过去的美好时光也不会完美)”可推知，简单地反对任何新发明和新技术是不明智的。故选B。

Filling Ip on Information
People now have access to more information than ever before thanks to the Internet. While there are clearly benefits to it, there are also unexpected effects. One in particular is information overload, commonly referred to as “infobesity”. ____36____
Infobesity can be caused by many factors. For example, information from various sources can lead to infobesity. A search on a particular topic can bring hundreds of websites with a lot of information, and you may feel very upset due to the amount of information accessible. ____37____Smart devices provide a person with information on the go, merely to stay updated. This often gets misused. As a result, people will load themselves with too much information.
____38____ They indicate that an over-exposure to information can cause people’s behavioural changes. It makes a person tired mentally and physically, directly leading to stress where the person is too tired to carry on any activity. In addition, infobesity is the enemy of good decisions. People can probably be at a loss in the face of many possibilities. ____39____
So, what can be done to reduce the effects of this condition? While there is no easy answer, one obvious step is to limit our sources of information. Sort the information we receive as important and unimportant, and try to only focus on things that really matter to us and on just one thing at a time. ____40____ And who knows?
Too much of anything is bad. This applies not only to the food one consumes, but also to the information that one receives. By taking a certain action, infobesity can be controlled at the first stage itself.
A. Experts have shown some major effects of infobesity.
B. This would give us more room to absorb information from sources.
C. Being constantly connected to technology can also result in infobesity.
D. It involves a situation where there’s too much information on a given topic.
E. We are sure about how certain types of information help us get where we want to go.
F. Since technology has got us into this mess, perhaps it will also present solutions in future.
G. One example is that, for online shoppers, a purchase can be difficult with so many choices accessible.

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.
On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.
Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." "The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"
"Oh yes, I'd love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
Paragraph1:
He ran up the steps.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then pointing to the car. ''There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.
Paragraph 2:
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining eyed older brother climbed in beside him. The older brother gently fastened the safety belt for his brother and politely asked, ''Mister, would you mind continuing driving around?" Deeply touched, Paul happily drove the car on the road again. That Christmas Eve, the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve was the happiest time that Paul had ever spent, because he learned what Jesus meant when he had said: "It is more blessed to give..."
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了，一个男孩看到保罗哥哥送给他的圣诞礼物——一辆新车，这个男孩希望自己也可以像保罗的哥哥那样，给自己的弟弟送圣诞节礼物。
【详解】续写分为两段，第一段的开头是：他跑上台阶。所以可以接着写：他走上台阶，过了一会又跑回来，然后对着他的弟弟说：“瞧，这就是我给你说的那辆车。他哥哥送给他的圣诞节礼物，他一分钱都没花。以后我也像他的哥哥一样，把你想要的、最好的东西送给你。”第二段的开头是：保罗下车，把小男孩抱到前坐上。所以可以接着写：保罗说：“今天我是你们的大哥哥，我载着你们去逛一圈。” 哥哥听了，很感动。保罗开心地围着小区转了几圈，兄弟俩也很开心。他们三个度过了一个快乐难忘的圣诞节前夜。保罗也明白了：当快乐被分成几份时，更快乐。
续写时应注意时态，直接引语和间接引语的运用。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达，例如：And some day I'm going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.中that引导定语从句；Deeply touched, Paul happily drove the car on the road again.中使用了形容词作状语。这些句型和表达的使用给文章增色添彩。
