A librarian, Jennifer Williams's mther read t her three children every day. "Nt until we went t kindergarten (幼儿园)," Williams said. "Until we went t cllege."
When Williams, nw 54, became a primary schl teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students t fall in lve with reading just as she had. But she realized that sme kids had limited access (使用的机会) t bks.
"It's very bvius t teachers f yung children which kids are read t versus kids wh are nt," she said. T Williams, the slutin (解决办法) was simple: Give kids bks. In 2017, as part f an event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children's bks ver three days. Mst peple wuld be satisfied with that. Mst.
"My husband was like, `Ww, cngratulatins,' and I was like, `Well, anybdy can d that,' " she said. "I tld him, 'I want t give away a millin bks.'"
It sunds like an unreachable number, but as Williams psted n Facebk: "Dn't cmplain in the bleachers (露天看台) if yu aren't willing t wrk hard ut n the field."
S she gt t wrk, first by rping in friends t dnate bks r mney t buy bks. "I've lived in this twn fr 35 years," she said. "My cmmunity has cme tgether and said, 'Yu've always helped us, nw let us help yu.'"
Befre lng, as news f Williams' s prject spread, strangers started leaving bks n her frnt prch (门廊). As quickly as the bks cme in, Williams gives them t lcal schls and little free libraries in Danville.
In the fur years she' s been ding all this, the Bk Lady, as Williams has cme t be knwn, has given away mre than 78,000 bks - nly 922,000 mre t reach her gal! And she' s nt slwing dwn. It's t imprtant fr kids with few ptins.
"Reading can take yu anywhere," she said. "Yu can travel in time and space. If yu can read, yu can learn almst anything."

Early reprts n COVID-19 cmpared what was develping t the "Spanish Flu", an influenza pandemic (流感大流行) just ver 100 years earlier. And yet, I grew up never having heard my parents speak f it r their experiences! I had questins abut it, but n answers since my parents are n lnger with us. I thught t myself, "I dn't want this kind f thing t happen t the yunger generatin in my family in relatin t the COVID-19 pandemic."
One day in December 2020, 1 had an idea f a family quilt (被子) dcumenting ur family's experience f the pandemic. The idea excited me because I've always lved quilting. Als, I really wanted smething creative t d during lckdwn.
I ran the idea by my family members - my fur adult children and their spuses (配偶) (with invitatins als t my eight grandchildren). They all gave it sme thught and said "G fr it!"
S, I asked each persn t create a square t express their views n and experiences f the pandemic. We did sme brainstrming tgether. I rdered the clth and quilting supplies we needed. And we fund a gd lcal shp that did a great jb printing phts and ther designs nt clth. Each family unit cntributed a few cmpleted squares fr a ttal f 20 squares. The quilt cvers three generatins: the yungest family member is 17 this year, and I'm the ldest at 83. It tk us almst fur mnths frm the time I imagined it t the day I finished sewing (缝) it up.
Once the pandemic has ended, I will sew the end date and any ther key infrmatin nt the inside f the quilt. It may nt be as skilled as sme f my earlier wrk － I hadn't made a quilt in a lng time! － but it's certainly ne f the mst creative and exciting things I've dne, already serving the cause f bringing ur family clser tgether.

The Amazn rainfrest is as pristine (处于原始状态的) a place as mst peple can imagine, but even there, the effects f a changing climate are playing ut. Previus research fund that sme birds in the Amazn are experiencing drps that may be related t climate change. Nw, new research suggests that as the Amazn's dry seasn has gtten htter, sme species are starting t evlve (进化).
Fr the new study, researchers studied 77 nn-migratry species ver a 40-year perid. They reprted in the jurnal Science Advances that 36 species have lst weight, as much as 2 percent f their bdy weight every ten years since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species became smaller in bdy size, while a third grew lnger wings.
The researchers themselves are unsure what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cl. In general, smaller animals have a larger rati (比例) f surface area t bdy size, s they dissipate mre heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available fd, such as fruit r insects, in dryer weather might lead t smaller bdy size.
"Think abut a fighter plane. It has shrt wings and is heavy. It has t g really fast t stay high in the air, s it uses up plenty f energy," says eclgist Vtek Jirinec, wh led the new study, while a glider (滑翔机) almst uses n pwer t stay high in the air, because it's gt these lng wings, and it's light."
Fr thse wh wnder why a small bdy change in a small hmebdy bird shuld matter, Jirinec pints t hw ur actins have effects we dn't always see － such as changing the size and shape f animals half a wrld away.
"We think f Amaznia as a pristine place, full f life, untuched by peple, away frm defrestatin," Jirinec says. "But it lks like n, nt necessarily."
32. What des the new study find ut abut sme bird species in the Amazn rainfrest?
A. They have changed physically. B. They are dying ut due t htter weather.
C. They have a smaller ppulatin than befre. D. They have migrated as a result f less rainfall.
33. What des the underlined wrd "dissipate" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Feel. B. Need. C. Give ut. D. Make use f.
34. Why des Vitek Jirinec mentin a fighter plane and a glider in paragraph 4?
A. T study hw birds speed up in the air.
B. T shw the advantage f birds' lnger wings.
C. T describe hw birds' wings mve when flying.
D. T intrduce the difficulty birds can meet when flying.
35. What des Vitek Jirinec think f the Amazn rainfrest?
A. It isn't as attractive as it was.
B. It is making a quick recvery.
C. It is being influenced by human activities.
D. It isn't suitable fr sme bird species any lnger.
Yu see peple making big life changes, like ging t medical schl at 45, because they culdn't imagine being an accuntant (会计师) fr 20 mre years. It seems magical, like ne day they just decided t make it happen. Fr sme peple, it might wrk that way. ______36_______ In truth, it takes years f thinking and planning. I've figured ut hw t streamline things a bit. Yu may want t try it yurself.
First, accept the uncertainty f life. As much as we dn't like t admit it, life is uncertain. ______37_______ If yu dubt me, g back 10 years and ask yurself where yu thught yu'd be nw. I dubt it lks exactly like yu planned.
Secnd, be pen t pssibilities. Many times, we knw we want t d smething, but we dn't knw what "it" is. Explre a bit. Brainstrm.______38_______
Then, nce yu decide n smething, it's time t plan a bit. ______39_______ As yu meet different difficulties, make sure yu spend time questining yur assumptins (设想). Maybe smething yu always cnsidered true is nthing mre than smene else's pinin.
Finally, as paths (路线) pen, head dwn them. Dn't wrry if yu experience false starts. ______40_______ Almst all f the stries readers shared with me abut ding life-changing things invlved changing plans, disappintment and lts f hard wrk. But in the end, it was wrth it.
A. That might seem a bit bvius.
B. At this pint, difficulties start t shw up.
C. We never knw exactly where it will take us.
D. It stps yu frm just making big life changes.
E. Hwever, mst f the time, it's much less magical.
F. Allw things t cme up and be pen t new ideas.
G. There will be plenty f thse, and yu may nly need a quick curse crrectin.

主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是说明文。人生改变并不是一蹴而就的，而是需要提前计划并付诸努力。
36. E。根据本空前的It seems magical, like ne day they just decided t make it happen. Fr sme peple, it might wrk that way及本空后的In truth, it takes years f thinking and planning可知，人生改变并不是一蹴而就的，事实上，它需要长期的计划，E项符合语境。E项是对本空前内容的转折。E项中的 much less magical 与上文中的seems magical 形成对比。
37. C。根据本空前的accept the uncertainty f life和life is uncertain及本空后所举实例可知，本空内容应与“人生的不确定性”相关，故选C项。C项中的it指代life，never knw与本空前的 uncertainty和uncertain相照应。
38. F。根据本空前的be pen t pssibilities、 we knw we want t d smething, but we dn't knw what “it” is及Brainstrm可知，本段建议考虑多种可能的选择。由此可知，F项符合语境。F项Allw things t cme up and be pen t new ideas与本空前的be pen t pssibilities表达的意思相同。
39. B。根据本空前的nce yu decide n smething, it's time t plan a bit及本空后的As yu meet different difficulties, make sure yu spend time questining yur assumptins可知，本空应讲述“在计划的过程中会遇到困难”，故选B项。
40. G。根据本空前的Dn't wrry if yu experience false starts及本空后的Almst all f the stries readers shared with me abut ding life-changing things invlved changing plans, disappintment and lts f hard wrk可知，错误的开始很常见，但你需要及时做出调整，故选G项。G项中的thse指代本空前的false starts，curse crrectin与本空后的changing plans 相照应。

第一节
主题语境：人与自我——生活
本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己上班期间儿子们给她打电话的经历。
41. C。根据下文中的I explained t them that I was ... wrk and culd nt be ... phne calls every few minutes和Yet ver and ver the ... wuld ring with bth f them trying t explain t me at the same time what the ther had dne wrng可知，之后，作者要求儿子们有紧急情况时才可以给她打电话，nly符合语境。
42. D。43. A。根据上文中的After that, they were ... t call in an emergency及下文中的Yet ver and ver the ... wuld ring with bth f them trying t explain t me at the same time what the ther had dne wrng可知，作者给儿子们解释说自己工作很“忙（busy at）”，不能频繁“接（taking）”电话。
44. C。根据上文的描述、本句中的with bth f them trying t explain t me at the same time what the ther had dne wrng及下文中的the calls可知，此处表示“电话会响”，故选phne。
45. B。46. A。根据上文中的bth f them trying t explain t me at the same time what the ther had dne wrng可知，作者的两个儿子给她打电话并不是家里有什么紧急情况，而是互相告状。由此可推断，作者会和儿子们强调他们需要遵守的“规则（rules）”，然后，有一段时间，他们不会随便给她打电话，stp符合语境。
47. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。根据本句中的I was called ut f a meeting及my sn was n the telephne with an emergency可知，作者正在开会，有人传话说她儿子打电话说有急事，message符合语境。tpper 意为“（行为等）前所未有的极端例子”。
48. C。根据上文中的my sn was n the telephne with an emergency及本句中的my heart raced可知，作者心里很着急。由此可推断，此处表示“急忙（hurried）”去接电话。
49. D。下文中的there was plenty f fd in the huse可提示本空答案。
50. A。根据下文中的“But we have n chips,” he respnded可知，作者应该是给儿子解释说家里有许多食物，故选explained。
51. B。根据上文中的“But we have n chips,” he respnded可知，在作者儿子看来，家里没有薯条就意味着没有食物，Obviusly（显然）符合语境。
52. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。因此，当儿子打来电话说有急事时，作者非常担心，但没想到，儿子所指的紧急情况是家里没有薯条。结合本句中的he was aware f my displeasure可知，作者对孩子的行为有些不满，pleased with符合语境。
53. B。根据上文中的Over the years可知，许多年过去了，每当作者想起儿子们小时候给她办公室打电话的事情时，都会觉得很有意思，故选thught。
54. C。55. C。根据上文的描述可知，作者的儿子给她的办公室打电话说有急事， 因为家里没有薯条了。当时，作者在开会，而且她觉得家里没薯条不是什么大事，因此有些不高兴。根据本段的描述可知，许多年过去了，作者意识到大人和孩子对于紧急情况的“理解（views）”不同，而妈妈们应该牢记这一点，这样就会理解孩子的做法，imprtant符
主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是新闻报道。Damen Fletcher利用国际象棋教孩子们如何解决生活中的问题。
56. than。考查固定搭配。根据下文中的He uses what he learned n the chessbard in real life, like, think befre yu mve可知，设空处所在部分意为“象棋不仅仅是游戏”，故填than。mre than 后接名词，表示“不只是……；不仅仅……”。
57. learning。考查动词-ing形式。设空处及其后部分在句中作定语修饰students，因为students与learn之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且learn表示的动作正在进行，故填learning。
58. wh。考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Damen Fletcher，且在从句中作主语，故填关系词wh。
59. t attend。考查动词不定式。设空处所在部分意为“离开家乡上大学”，故填t attend。t attend cllege在句中作目的状语。
60. childhd。考查名词。设空处作定语修饰friends，表示“童年”，故填名词childhd。
61. them。考查代词。设空处作介词f的宾语，指代上文中的friends，故填代词them。
62. ages。考查可数名词的复数。设空处表示“年龄”，因为其前有all限定，故填ages。kids f all ages 不同年龄的孩子。
63. a。考查冠词。设空处与new修饰限定prblem，因为prblem是可数名词，且此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词a。
64. interesting。考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰stry，表示“有趣的”，故填形容词interesting。
65. rde。考查一般过去时。设空处与had并列作谓语，所表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填rde。
