Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, has said that approximately 75 to 90% of Americans will need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity (群体免疫) in the United States. Public health experts recommended a staged approach to vaccination. Demand for the vaccine (疫苗) exceeded capacity in the beginning. Vaccine manufacturers ramped up production to meet the demand; however, public interest in getting vaccinated has been waning. The U.S. adopted the following staged approach, but by May 1, 2021, most of the country had already reached stage 2: Stage 1a includes healthcare personnel and residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Stage 1a vaccinations began in December 2020.Stage 1b includes frontline essential workers: police officers; food and agricultural, postal, daycare, public transit, grocery store, public transit, and manufacturing workers; teachers; and people aged 75 and older. (Some states are allowing people 65 and older to register for the vaccine.) Some states began Phase 1b vaccinations during the second full week of January 2021.Stage 1c includes people aged 65 to 74 and people ages 16 to 64 who have underlying health conditions that increase the risk of COVID complications. Essential workers of any age in the transportation, logistics, food service, construction, communications, information technology, energy, law, media, public safety, and public health sectors are also in Phase 1c. Many states were able to vaccinate Phase 1c in March and April.Stage 2 includes all other people aged 16 and older. (A COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized for teens age 12 and older.)21．   When did healthcare personnel begin to get vaccinated?A. May, 2021.   B. December, 2020.   C. January, 2021.   D. March, 2021. 22．   What does the underlined word in paragraph mean?A. Increasing.   B. Decreasing. C. Changing. D. Improving.23．   Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. To reach herd immunity, more than 90% of Americans needed to be vaccinated.B. Most states of America had already reached stage 1c by May 1, 2021.C. In stage 1b a man aged 66 can get vaccinated in some states of America.D. All people ages 12 and older will get vaccinated at the end of the staged approach.BA few years ago, I moved to Aurora, Ont. with my boyfriend and I longed to make friends in my new neighborhood. Where we lived the houses were jammed together so tightly. But the irony (讽刺) of living so close was that no one actually talked to each other; as in an open-concept office, they pretend they can’t hear or see each other to maintain at least an illusion of privacy. It was not so easy to make friends as an adult. I was about to give up when I caught sight of a beautiful, tall blonde taking out her recycling. She walked with confidence—even her ponytail bounced. I gasped, “I recycle too! We have so much in common!” The question was, how would we meet? What would I say? So I thought, “What if I just happened to be jogging by?” I put on my running shoes, but after a few times around the block, dripping sweat, I didn’t see her. I decided to seize on the one thing I already knew about her— she takes out her blue bin.  The following day, I woke up a little earlier than usual. A little after 8 a.m., the garage truck appeared and the blonde emerged. I grabbed a bin and made my way to the end of my driveway. “Just act natural, Megan,” I told myself. “Good morning. How are ya?” I said, cool as a cucumber. “Good. And you?” she replied. “Doing well…I am a new comer, just a DJ. I talk for a living. Clearly!” “Interesting,” she said.As we both walked away, I turned and called out, “Oh, and by the way, I’m Megan.” “Michelle,” she replied. I walked back inside, wearing a giant grin.Our “coincidental” recycling meet-ups continued for a few weeks until I finally gathered my courage to ask her to watch The Bachelor with me and she said yes.That night, after we got everything ready, we settled on the couch and proceeded to drink wine, binge from our buffet, dissect doomed television relationships, tell stories about our own and laugh our faces off. We “found what we’d been looking for”: a new friend to fall platonically in love with.24．   What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. The author lived in a small house.B. The neighbors actually didn’t have privacy.C. The author lived in a very crowded neighborhood.D. The neighbors did not communicate with each other.25．   What do we know about their first meet-up?A. The tall blonde pretended to be very cool.B. The tall blonde wore a big smile when talking.C. The author was quite satisfied with their first talk.D. The two friends met accidentally when the truck came.26．   Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Timid but kind-hearted.     B. Shy but persistent.C. Hospitable and generous.    D. Caring and modest.27．   What’s the main idea of the passage?A. A DJ talking for a living began to recycle.B. A blonde watched The Bachelor with a DJ.C. A new comer finally made friends with a blonde.D. Two women recycled together in the neighborhood. C“When I was 16 years old, I was scuba diving (水肺潜水) in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, 25, an engineer who designed the world’s first ocean plastic cleanup system.Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans. These can take up to 500 years to break down. If left alone, sea animals become entangled (缠绕的) in them and can even die if the plastics are taken in. Worse, humans can be affected when these plastics break down. “Smaller pieces enter the food chain, and that’s a food chain that includes us humans,” Slat said. In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this depressing reality, Slat created The Ocean Cleanup in 2013 and put his plan for an ocean plastic cleanup device into action.After years of research and development in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastic on Oct 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long “C” shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device.A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt (挡板) attached to the end. After being gathered, the rubbish will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.Currently, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is three times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.It remains to be seen if this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused.“We are starting to see a young generation that gets that and is excited about a sustainable future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?” Slat said.28．   Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs?A. Slat took up scuba diving at the age of 16.B. Slat showed a great interest in ocean environments. C. Plastics pose a great threat to sea animals and humans.D. It doesn’t take long to break down the plastics in the ocean.  29．   What does the underlined part “this depressing reality” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many sea creatures take in plastics. B. Humans are influenced by the plastics.C. Ocean plastics are difficult to get rid of.D. The weight of ocean plastics will reach a new peak.30．   What do we know about System 001/B?A. It floats in a fixed direction. B. It started collecting plastic about two years ago.C. It collects and recycles the rubbish at the same time.D. It aims to clear the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in a decade.31．   What is Slat’s attitude towards the future of the environment?A. Concerned.  B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Tolerant. DTo show empathy is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy, you will not understand its power. Reading about a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings－the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example, －is the one who is most able to empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate” to other people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many feelings of their own.Once you have felt discriminated against, for example, it is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the “reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival. For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from them or try to numb ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling -- to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional awareness and sensitivity－in other words, to be “in touch with”　your feelings. 32．   How does the author explain the feelings of empathy?A. By giving examples.      B. By having classification.C. By making comparison.     D. By providing data.33．   Which statement may the author agree with?A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings.B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is.C. Empathy is a way we recently picked up for better survival.D. Rich experiences may not go with a high level of empathy.34．   What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs of the text?A. To advise a sincere attitude to one’s experiences.B. To suggest a right understanding of empathy.C. To require a real bond with one’s emotions. D. To call for true acceptance of one’s feelings.35．   What is the best title for the text?A. How Empathy Unfolds B. Be Open to Your EmotionsC. Why Is Empathy Important D. Accept Your True Self第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Saying no can be really tough. Maybe a friend is asking you for a favor, or a co-worker is asking you to cover their shift for the afternoon.    36    Don’t worry. We’ve put together plenty of tips and tricks to help you in the future.Keep your refusal simple. Refusing someone doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, experts suggest keeping your explanation short, sweet, and to the point. When you give a long, drawn-out explanation about why you can’t do something, the requester may keep prodding you. Give a short, brief explanation instead. You might say, “Sorry, I’m busy that day” or “I’d love to help, but my schedule is tied up at the moment.”    37       38    See if someone else can help out. Chances are, you aren’t the only person out there who can lend the requester a hand. After saying no, recommend someone else who might be able to help in the meantime Get back to them if you feel nervous.    39    In many cases, a simple “Let me think about it” can buy you a little more time. If you don’t want to meet their request but don’t have an excuse lined up, this is the option for you.Thank the person instead of feeling annoyed. Try to view their request in a positive light.    40     Instead of feeling annoyed or obligated, thank them for thinking of you, even if you aren’t able to help out. A. Suggest an alternative. B. Give an excuse for an easy out.C. There’s no rule saying you have to answer right away .D. How can you stand your ground without feeling guilty?E. If your first refusal doesn’t get the message across, stand strong.F. You could also say, “No, I’ve got a lot on my plate this weekend” or “Sorry, that doesn’t really interest me.”G. The fact that they reached out means that they probably think you’re responsible and trustworthy, which is definitely a compliment.第三部分  英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节  完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上相应番号处将该项涂黑。I was surprised to learn the sleeping arrangements at the log home we were sharing with my in-laws for the week.    41   , my young daughter had agreed to sleep in a first-floor bedroom by herself.As we settled in, we discussed the number of deer we had    42    on our way to the log home. “I hope we see a bear or two this week!” my wife shouted.At bedtime, my wife and I retreated to the upstairs loft, and my in-laws    43    a bedroom on the first floor.

As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn’t bear to see any creature in pain.At the end of my first week, we were about to close the office for the day when a young man in his thirties ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.The doctor and I rushed back into the operating room immediately. The poor creature was in critical condition. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal’s body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, stitching him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine (脊椎). If he was lucky enough to survive the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.The day forever changed my life. The veterinarian instructed me, and I became his assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I moved his tiny legs on a regular basis to keep his muscles from weakening. Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs. What a miracle! Day by day, the little fighter made a little bit progress until the vet called his owner telling him that his puppy was ready to go home. Having accompanied the puppy for several months, I could imagine how excited and relieved the young man was. And I was sure he would took good care of. Two days later, the puppy was taken away by his owner.  1．  所续写的短文词数应为150左右；2．  续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1: About a year passed.
