I’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.
Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.
It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. \"Despair,\" though, is not one of them.
We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?
I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.
That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit. 4. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ . A. desperate B. humorous C. bored D. worried
5. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel? A. To feel hopeful. B. To make a wish. C. To take adventures. D. To broaden horizons.
6. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By showing evidences. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By interpreting opinions.
7. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Where to go for a trip. B. Why people need to travel. C. How to fight the pandemic. D. What people should do at home.
C
It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?
For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.
Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body.
Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.
What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.
Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature, Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging.
Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice
helped the older animals live longer.
But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in. 8. In Paragraph 2 a “fountain of youth” is mentioned to ________. A. introduce the main topic B. show a hidden secret. C. describe scientists research D. recommend a way to stay young
9. Aging takes place in the body when _______. A. stem cells develop into specialized cells B. there are important activities within the body
C. hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against aging D. the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs
10. What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text? A. They did experiments to see how stem cells work. B. They studied mice to find their connection with humans. C. They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.
D. They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment 11. What will the researchers probably do next? A. They will help some animals live longer.
B. They will announce the fountain of youth doesn’t exist
C. They will develop products to help people live a longer life immediately
D. They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.
D
It’s a little before8 a.m. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “It’s going to be a good day,” a colleague calls out. “It’s a good day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except it’s not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.
Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school. He’s won grants (拨款) for art projects. He turned an
empty classroom into a museum. He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasn’t always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my room, I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous,” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year,” he says. “I didn’t want her to know.”
With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son,” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”
When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen: When your kids ask why you’re retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. It’s time. It’s just time.”
12. Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?
A. He was retiring on that day. B. He won an honor for his school. C. He was interviewed by a reporter. D. He received a Golden Apple award. 13. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Art projects. B. Great achievements. C. Respect from students. D. Change in teaching. 14. What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school?
A. Safety concerns in the school. B. The poorly-equipped classroom.
C. Being misunderstood by his family. D. Students’ poor academic performance. 15. What is the best title for the text?
A.A Typical Day for an Art Teacher B. Time for Art Projects C. A Teacher’s Final Day at School D. The Last Art Class 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Yesterday, I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school. I was about to help her up while a passer-by stop me, saying that I might be accused of knocking him down. Heard his words, I began to hesitate and slowed down my steps. At the moment, another student, that saw everything, went up to help. The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the good boy.

When I was five years old, we lived in a small town in theMidwestin an old yellow house with a stream out back. On summer days, I used to play with a neighbor girl named Marie, who was two years older. She would take my hand and lead me down to the stream, where I could lie on the bank and stare at the muddy water. On one such day I was sitting on the bank, with my dirty toes in the soft warm mud, when Marie took something from the pocket of her overalls. It was a little boat, made of paper.
“Papa made this for me,” she boasted. I stared at it, immediately wishing that I had an equally fine object to show. I had nothing in my pocket but a small plastic truck with only three wheels.
Marie placed her boat in the water. Then, the current took hold of it and swirled it downstream. “See?” Marie said in excitement. “See my canoe drifting down the stream? After a while that little stream will turn into a bigger stream and it will go a little faster. Then that stream will turn into an even bigger stream, and the streams will keep getting bigger and bigger until finally it will reach a big river, and it will go faster and faster, and then it will come out in the ocean.”
“Have you ever seen the ocean, Willy?” she inquired softly, inclining her head so that her bright brown eyes looked straight into mine.
I looked down at my muddy toes and shook my head no.
“At the ocean,” Marie explained, “water reaches for miles and miles, as far as you can see, and it’s deep water, dark blue and green.”
“And there’s sailing ships that go on the ocean, where you can get on, and sail for days and weeks and months, until you get all the way toChina.”
“Pretend that canoe is a real boat, Willy,” she whispered. “You and I could get in that boat and sail all the way to the ocean.” She looked out at the stream, disappearing around a stand of trees. Para. 1:
