TRAVEL ADVISORY
Here are a few things you should know before you take off on your next trip.
Frontier Airlines Face Covering Requirement
As required by federal law, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Order and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Directive, all passengers and employees must wear a face covering over nose and mouth throughout the Frontier travel experience including at ticket counters, gate areas, baggage claim and onboard all flights. Face coverings are not required for children under the age of 2. Face coverings must fit snugly (紧密地) over your nose and mouth and be secured under the chin. Not wearing an approved face covering is a violation of federal law and you may lose future travel privileges on Frontier.

Temperature Screening Requirement
Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher will not be able to board the plane. If time allows, we will give customers the opportunity to rest before receiving a second check.

I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers. There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.
It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight, yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades, I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs. And there are occupational risks-your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase, your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job-it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.
All my life, for three decades now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.
24． What can be inferred about the stories from paragraph 2?
A. They were told in a magic way. B. They were written by the teacher.
C. They contained some students’ fun secrets. D. They left the students with happy memories.
25． Which of the following best describes the English teacher?
A. Ambitious and generous. B. Hard-working and wealthy.
C. Caring and modest. D. Well-informed and observant.
26． What do we know about the author as a teacher?
A. He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.
B. He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.
C. He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.
D. He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.
27． What can be concluded about being a teacher from the text?
A. With one thousand times for the peach garden sweet.
B. Teachers lead the door, progress in the individual.
C. In scholarship there is no difference of age.
D. Learning without a teacher is hard to gain.
C
Thanks to its harsh environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for many millennia, allowing a thriving ecosystem to evolve. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study declares that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Humans can infect animals with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that the Antarctic animals were immune to the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced.
She and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves.
The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste. This included a common strain (品种) of bacteria that causes food poisoning in humans. The researchers say the bacteria strains were resistant to commonly-used human antibiotics, indicating they were brought in by the visitors, rather than migratory birds.
“These strains, which are a common cause for infections in humans and livestock, do not usually cause death outbreaks in wild animals,” says Gonzalez-Solis. “However, the emerging or invasive pathogens (病原体) that arrive to highly sensitive populations could have severe consequences and cause the local collapse and extinction of some populations.” The researcher also fears the presence of these bugs could foreshadow the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of tourists people increases.
Experts believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds is to impose stricter regulations or, at least, put the ones already in place into effect. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty requires visitors to carry their waste back home to safeguard the pristine environment, the regulation is rarely enforced. Fortunately, nowadays some officials are taking steps to save the vulnerable birds before it’s too late.
28． What problem is Antarctica facing according to Paragraph 1&2?
A. The increasing number of tourists. B. The worsening wilderness.
C. The replaced native bird population. D. The spread of infectious illnesses.
29． What does the underlined word “devastate” mean?
A. Destroy. B. Increase. C. Protect. D. Benefit.
30． Which statement is true according to this passage?
A. Human bacteria is deadly to wild animals in Antarctica.
B. Humans bring bacteria to Antarctica.
C. Scientists catch some Antarctic animals to treat their illnesses.
D. Marta Cerda-Cuellar believes that Antarctic animals are immune to human bacteria.
31． What is the author’s attitude towards the prospect of bird population in Antarctica?
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Ambiguous. D. Optimistic.
D
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so. We’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid. It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent in the target language is actually the “easy part of a translator’s job”. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t-or shouldn’t-involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
32． What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Ready. B. Approaching. C. Helpful. D. Advanced.
33． Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?
A. Their data is not adequate enough.
B. The real meaning of words can vary.
C. Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D. A soul hasn’t been breathed in them.
34． What view does the author hold about translation?
A. Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B. Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C. Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D. Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
35． What is the best title for the text?
A. An Expert’s Precise Prediction B. The Complexity of Translation
C. Who Will Be a Better Translator D. Will Language Barrier Actually Fall

Is Managing Kids’ Screen Time a Good Idea?
Screen time is a big topic of conversation in today’s households, particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students. 36 They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring. Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids’ devices themselves, but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families. 37 But technology has positive benefits too. Since every child and family is different, managing screen time calls for joint family decision-making.
If parents believe they can manage a child’s screen time through adolescence, they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens. It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids’ screen time through authoritarian restrictions, even during elementary school. 38 When children are left out of those decisions, they often become less communicative with parents and siblings. This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve.
39 From early ages, children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance. Just as they learn right from wrong, and good from bad, they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways. Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence. What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the child misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves. Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.
To be clear, this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers, or that there should be no restrictions on screen time. 40 Parents should give voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.
A. Of course, there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.
B. The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.
C. However, every family needs a family media plan between family members.
D. The goal is to see, hear, feel, and understand how children view screen time.
E. To manage children’s screen time, parents have invested in apps and trackers.
F. To get children involved, parents should trust and develop kids’ self-awareness.
G. What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing screen time in a different way.

When faced with a pandemic, people may become more forgiving. For me, this has become a time to 41 my estranged (疏远的) father.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment, struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview, I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved.
On impulse I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name. I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered.
“Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.”
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to a small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving (找回) this special possession was such that to accept her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, whatsoever.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen overwhelmed by misery.
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。
At this moment, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ____________________________________________________________________________

读后续写(25分)：At this moment, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man with his arms full of parcels. “This is a mistake”, I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I didn’t know what to do. Later, Peggy and I sat on the floor, looking at each other. What a surprise! I searched for the name of the sender.
Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read“Thanks for your returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas!” It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading across my body. On the cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded into me like a blessing, which made me hopeful again.
