Sisters Gipsy and Gelssy Rodriguez of Anaheim, California, are the social media powerhouses behind their parents' popular quincea era dress shop, Moda2000.
The store has more than 3.3 million followers on TikTok, 200,000 followers on Instagram and even has its own You Tube TV show, "Quince Empire".
In 2015, social media was gaining popularity and the sisters saw this as an opportunity to help get the word out about Moda2000. Gipsy and Gelssy Rodriguez taught themselves about social media strategy on the fly, and decided to post videos of their clothes first to YouTube and Instagram, and eventually to TikTok.
"We kind of just posted a video not knowing what was going to happen," Gipsy Rodriguez said. "TikTok was new at the time…and we posted and. we went to dinner that night and our phones were just blowing up."
Their first TikTok video—which now has 1.4 million likes—drove 10,000 followers to their newly-created account overnight. Going viral（疯传）changed their business in ways the Rodriguez family could never have imagined. “It's just so crazy," Gipsy Rodriguez said. “Now we're getting those clients that have been following us and watching our videos since they were little girls…I think it's so beautiful that they get to grow up with us.”
While their parents are still very involved in the store, Gipsy and Gelssy Rodriguez, who now serve as the brand's creative director and store's operations director, respectively, are slowly taking over the reins.
For the whole family, Moda2000's growth has felt representative of the "American Dream". “My parents literally started with $0 from anybody else, and to this day, we haven't taken any outside capital or anything like that," Gelssy Rodriguez said. "And not only did they make such a successful business, but they also made an impact within the industry that we are in and we've become industry leaders”
24. What did Gipsy and Gelssy Rodriguez do in 2015?
A. They met with failure. B. They set up an online shop.
C. They seized a chance. D. They started their business.
25. What do we know about Gipsy and Gelssy Rodriguez's first TikTok video?
A. It was a great success. B. It attracted little attention.
C. It disappointed their parents. D. It focused on their personal images.
26. What does the underlined part "taking over the reins" in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Giving in to others. B. Getting into debt.
C. Taking charge of it. D. Taking advantage of others.
27. What's Gelssy Rodriguez's attitude to her parents?
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Confused. D. Proud.
C
It is universally accepted as one of life's bleak but unavoidable facts: as we get older, our brains get slower. But now a study, based on data from more than 1 million people, suggests that mental processing speed remains almost constant until the age of 60.
The analysis puts perceived（感知的）reductions in speed down to people becoming more careful as they get older. This could account for the large body of research that has concluded that mental processing speed peaks at about the age of 20 and undergoes a steady decline from that point onwards.
“Our finding is encouraging, as our results show that average levels in mental speed in contexts demanding fast and forced decisions do not decline until rather late in the lifespan," said Dr Mischa Von Krause, of Heidelberg University.
The study, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, used data from 1, 185, 882 participants, aged 10 to 80 years, in Harvard's Project Implicit, an online tool that has been used to collect data. Participants are required to answer some questions.
The analysis suggested that 20-year-olds were quickest because they were the most willing to trade accuracy for speed. The researchers concluded that the purely mechanical part of the response（how fast a person sees the question and taps the keyboard）was quickest in those aged 14-16. Mental processing state appeared to peak at about age 30, and declined only very slightly between 30 and 60. Participants also made fewer mistakes as they became older, at least until the age of about 60.
Von Krause said the work raised the suggestion that people may excel（擅长）at different tasks depending on their age. "Obviously, there are real-life tasks where it is crucial to avoid mistakes, such as in a medical diagnosis, while in other tasks, such as avoiding an obstacle on the road, speed is more important," he said. However, he added that, within certain limits, people were likely to be able to adapt their decision-making style to the demands of a situation.
28. Which of the following might old people believe?
A. Better safe than sorry. B. Well begun is half done.
C. All is well that ends well. D. Strike while the iron is hot.
29. Why did Dr Mischa Von Krause think the finding encouraging?
A. Our brains become slow quite late. B. Our brains develop constantly.
C. Our mental power never declines. D. Our mental speed stays fast after 60.
30. When do we process mentally best?
A. At the age of 14. B. At the age of 20.
C. At the age of 30. D. At the age of 60.
31. What does Von Krause want to say in the last paragraph?
A. We should try to respond quickly in many cases.
B. We should make careful decisions whatever we do.
C. People have quite different decision-making styles.
D. Both the old and the young have their advantages.
D
United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company's goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050.
Those battery-powered aircraft are being developed by Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace, from which United Airlines placed an order for 100 planes in July 2021. United Airlines has pushed heavily into a variety of lower-emission forms of aviation, not only announcing plans to buy electric air taxis and vertical aircraft, as well as hydrogen-electric engines but also investing in the companies behind the advanced technologies.
"We cannot continue doing and operating our business the way we do; it is important that we change it, and the way we' re going to change it is through investing in technology," Mike Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures president, said in an interview as part of CNBC's ESG Impact virtual conference on Thursday. "Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable," Leskinen said.
Heart Aerospace, which recently redesigned what will be its first electric aircraft which is now called the ES-30, plans to have the planes enter service in 2028, said Anders Forslund, the company's CEO and founder.
The 30-passenger planes will be driven by electric motors with battery-derived energy, allowing the planes to have a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. The planes will also include a reserve- hybrid engine powered by sustainable aviation fuel, allowing it to have an extended range of up to 400 kilometers with a full flight.
United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost, Leskinen said. "As we adopt electric aircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft," he said. For small cities, this means they are "going to get either service that they didn't have before or greater frequency of service," he added.
32. What message did Mike Leskinen try to deliver in paragraph 3?
A. Economic benefits should come first.
B. Environmental protection should come first.
C. Economy and environment should be equally valued.
D. Economy and environment can't be balanced.
33. What do we learn about the electric planes mentioned in the text?
A. They will offer short-distance flights. B. They will fly faster than traditional ones.
C. They were developed by United Airlines. D. They each can hold 30 passengers at most.
34. What did Leskinen try to stress about the electric planes in the last paragraph?
A. Their security performance. B. Their potential benefits.
C. Their operating modes. D. Their possible problems.
35. Which would be the most suitable title for the text?
A. ES-30 Will Be Driven by Electric Motors
B. The Airline Industry Faces New Opportunities
C. Heart Aerospace Plans to Develop Electric Planes
D. United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying
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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you're currently studying in senior high school, chances are that you've started thinking about what your career options might be for the future. 36
If you use a step-by-step plan, you can avoid choosing a college major that turns out to be nothing like you expected and head on a career path with more confidence and eventual success.
Start With an Aptitude（能力）Test
37 Other people find reading, writing and learning languages easy. Taking an aptitude test, also known as a career test or career quiz, will help you determine where your study skills will help you best.
You shouldn't pigeonhole yourself into a profession just because a career test says it's right for you. 38 However, aptitude tests often help you identify professions you might not have considered.
Take a Personality Test
Personality tests can help you figure out if you're a natural leader or more of a follower. 39 How do you handle conflict? What about dealing with bullies or gossips? A personality test will help you decide if you might be comfortable working for a large corporation in a team environment, or as an entrepreneur（创业者）launching your own business.
List Jobs That Interest You
Write a list of jobs that interest you. 40 Be realistic, based on where you live and what your finances are. For example, if you want to start a restaurant, you'll need hundreds of thousands of dollars. Working in a restaurant as a prep cook or taking cooking classes will help you see what the restaurant business is like and whether or not it might be right for you.
A. It's never too early for you to do so.
B. Are you good at singing or drawing?
C. Many people end up doing what they don't like.
D. For some people, subjects like math and science come easily.
E. Do you like to work in groups, or are you better on your own?
F. You shouldn't avoid a career because a test says it's not a good fit.
G. They can be jobs you know nothing about but are fun or challenging.

My husband gave me a surprise gift for Christmas-a gift that, at the time, seemed strange. It was something I would never have chosen for myself and would never have expected him to give me. He gave me a little bird, a cute, colourful conure（鹦哥）.
She often bit me at first, but she quickly became the sweetest, most beautiful little creature and she brightened up every day. I looked forward every morning to her crawling under the collar of my bathrobe for a warm hug and a chirp（啁啾）in my ear.
A few months ago, I would never have imagined myself owning a bird, but now she had wrapped her little self firmly around my heart.
A couple days ago, she seemed a little off, not quite herself. She was struggling to fly. So, I brought her to the vet（兽医）, and she was much more ill than I could have imagined. Her situation was serious, but she made it through the night. After a couple days of slow improvement, when it was starting to look like she was almost out of the woods, her condition suddenly took a turn for the worse.
I was shocked. I cried all the way to the vet to take care of her. This little, lively spirit became an important part of my life, but suddenly she fell ill so seriously.
When I walked into the clinic, I saw a woman with a girl, who must have been around 12
years old. She looked sad, carrying a cage with a sick bird in it. I didn't want to disturb the girl, so I tried to be quiet while talking to the woman behind the counter. However, it was clear that the girl heard our talk. She knew I arrived to take my sick bird home to look after her by myself. She showed great concern and pity to me. When I was leaving with my sick bird, the girl came to me.
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。
The girl told me she could attend to my bird. ______________________________________________________

Text 1
M: You look tired. Where have you been?
W: I had planned to see the doctor, but I had to meet my parents at the railway station.
Text 2
M: This university is lucky to have a professor like Mr. Robert.
W: Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, he is one in a million.
Text 3
M: How is everything going in your classes?
W: Well, it's a little hard for me to follow everything my teachers say, especially in my math and chemistry classes. I first thought physics would be difficult, but it turns out pretty interesting to me.
Text 4
W: Good morning, Mr. Black. Thank you for coming. I want to talk to you about your son, Carl's report card.
M: How's Carl doing in school?
W: Oh, he's doing very well and works hard, but he is a slow learner of math.
Text 5
W: Professor Smith, this is Mary, and I need to call in sick today.
M: What seems to be the problem?
W: I'm afraid I had a terrible cold.
M: Well, thanks for calling and letting me know you will be absent. I hope you will feel better soon.
Text 6
M: Do you remember the person we met, the one who said Lily might be the child actress they are looking for?
W: Oh, I remember. He gave us his card, and I threw it away.
M: I picked it out of the trash. They' re shooting a children's-furniture-store advertisement today. And they want Lily!
W: Look, I threw away that card for a reason.
M: Come on, it'll be fun, and Lily will be on TV, and we can put the money in her college account.
W: No, let's just give our daughter a normal childhood, huh?
Text 7
M: You have reached the number of the Student Registration Office. If you want to reach the Admissions Office, press "1". For general information, press "2". Good morning, Admissions Office. Can I help you?
W: Yes, my name's Jenny and I'm interested in finding out whether History 107 is full yet.
M: Do you know the official registration code for that class?
W: It is HIS 107 BC3.
M: Hmm…it says that the class is full. You could check back in a couple of weeks. Some places will probably open up by that time. There's a waiting list, and that means that you'd have to wait for your turn to come up.
W: I understand. Well, one more question. Is the General Housing Office on the same floor as the Registration Office?
M: Yes, in fact, I've got the number, so if you'd like, I can put you through. Please hold on and I will put you through.
W: Thanks. That should save me a coin or two.
Text 8
M: Time for bed, Susie. Christmas break is over, and you have to be in class at 8:00 tomorrow.
W: But I'm not tired, Dad. Can't I just play one more video game?
M: It's already 10:30.
W: I know, but I promise I won't be tired.
M: Don't you have exams soon? If you' re going to stay up, shouldn't you be studying?
W: Oh, I forgot all about that.
M: You've been doing well in English and history, but you've had problems with math, haven't you?
W: Yeah. Maybe I can go to sleep now and then get up early and look at my math textbook.
M: That's a good idea.
W: Dad, can I just play for thirty more minutes? It's the last bit of my holiday!
M: No, I'm afraid not.
W: OK. You are the boss.
Text 9
W: We're talking with Yang Wei, who just returned home to China after living in San Francisco for two years. What would you say is the biggest difference between your life in America and your life in China?
M: I guess the most obvious one would be the food culture. In Beijing, people eat out a lot, and people tend to be much louder and outgoing in restaurants. For example, in China, it is common to see people drinking and talking loudly in the middle of a restaurant. In America, however, people like to enjoy a quiet meal.
W: What about the variety of food?
M: This is where America might have the advantage. Although Chinese food is unbelievably varied, I would have to say that the quality of food from all over the world is better in the States.
W: Why do you think so?
M: While there are many Africans, Europeans, and North Americans in China, there are even fewer people from the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean. As a result, it is harder to find really good food from those areas.
W: Sounds interesting. Why don't we take some questions from the audience?
M: Good idea!
Text 10
M: Hello, everyone. It's my great honor to be here to share my knowledge with so many international scientists and business owners. I'm grateful for your coming. As an engineer, I've spent my entire career trying to advance the quality of artificial intelligence, or AI for short. But back in college, I majored in marketing and had absolutely no idea of AI at all. So how did I start my career in this field? Apple's Siri was the first application of AI that I had ever known. From that invention, I knew AI would change the world one day. I then put my heart and efforts into it. That was 10 years ago. Luckily, it turns out that I have made the right choice. Now great changes have taken place in the industry and AI is playing an increasingly important role in people's lives. The general public nowadays feel excited about its development. AI frees them from boring and low-skilled tasks, making life a lot easier and more enjoyable. But I feel that we are still in the early days of Al. We are viewing current AI technology as we viewed computers in the 1990s. There is still a long way to go.

One possible version:
The girl told me she could attend to my bird. She said she understood what I was going through because she was going through the same thing. Her lovely bird was sick and she had been taking care of it. Since she had the experience of caring for sick birds, plus her love and patience, she firmly believed that she would help my bird make a full recovery. Her words warmed my heart and I agreed. We exchanged phone numbers. Then I went up to her and gave her a big hug.
A month later, the little girl called me and said she had a surprise for me. She asked me to meet her at a cafe near my house after work. I went there with excitement. The little girl was already waiting for me. She was carrying a bird cage, and I saw my bird in it. The bird saw me too and jumped up and down excitedly. The little girl opened the cage and the bird flew into my hand. She was lively and lovely and looked perfectly healthy. "She was cured, "the girl told me. What a miracle it was!
