【解析】
【原文】We thank everyone who is interested in establishing a student association at the university. There are some
important things, including changes to the rules and fees. Firstly, you all know that anybody could start a club or
association previously. However, starting from this year, you must have successfully completed at least one year of
studies and have not been a student for more than 4 years. The reason is that we want all our students to focus on
their studies, and not get disturbed by outside activities. However, joining student clubs is a great way to learn
career skills like organization and leadership. Secondly, the university administration will no longer provide every
new organization with $1500. Instead, the starting capital will be $10 per new member, up to $2000. It doesn't
matter if you have more than 200 members in your new club. These are the major changes, and we are confident
that they will improve student life and help ambitious young students be active on campus. Personally, I have a
long history at the University of Tuscaloosa, first as a student now as a professor. Throughout the time, I have been
always involved in clubs and associations here, both for students and staff. So, I understand their value. If you have
any further questions, please take a look at the brochure or meet me at my office tonight at 6 p.m., where I will be
answering questions personally.

I’m a standup comic. One day, a woman from The Daily News called and said she wanted to do an article on
me. When she had finished interviewing me for the article, she asked, “What are you planning to do next?” Well, at
the time, there was absolutely nothing I was planning on doing next, so I asked her what she meant, pausing for a
moment. She told me she was interested in me! So I thought I’d better tell her something. What came out was, “I’m
thinking about breaking the Guinness Book of World Records for Fastest-Talking Female.”
The newspaper article came out the next day, and the writer had included my parting remarks about trying to
break the world’s Fastest-Talking Female record. At about 5: 00 p.m. that afternoon I got a call from Larry King
Live, which I had never heard of, asking me to go on the show. They wanted me to try to break the record, and they
told me they would pick me up at 8: 00---because they wanted me to do it that night!
Then I sat down to figure out what on earth I was going to do on the show. I called Guinness to find out how
to break a fast-talking record. They told me I would have to recite something either Shakespeare or the Bible.
Shakespeare and I had never really gotten along, so 1 figured the Bible was my only hope. I began practicing and
practicing, over and over again. I was both nervous and excited at the same time.
Then I decided just to give it my best shot, and I did. I broke the record, becoming the World’s Fastest-talking
Female by speaking 585 words in one minute in front of a national television audience. I broke it again two years
later, with 603 words in a minute. My career took off.
People often ask me how I did that. I tell them I live my life by this simple philosophy: I always say yes first;
then I ask, “Now, what do I have to do to accomplish that?” Then I ask myself, “What is the worst thing that can
happen if I don’t succeed? The answer is, I simply don’t succeed! And what’s the best thing that can happen? I
succeed!
What more can life ask of you? Be yourself, and have a good time!

A. She took little interest in the topic.
B. She refused to share it with others.
C. She didn’t have any plan in her mind.
D. She needed time to think over the plan.

A. She was persuaded to set a Guinness record.
B. She was invited to give comic performances.
C. She succeeded in making a fortune overnight.
D. She finally agreed to make her parting remarks.
26. Which can indicate the author’s career took off?
A. She could recite the Bible.
B. She received an interview.
C. She broke the record twice.
D. She developed her philosophy.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

Jerome H.Powell,the Federal Reserve chair, suggested on Wednesday that improved child care support policies
from the government might help pull more women into the labor market.
“Our peers, our competitors, advanced economy western countries, have a more built-up function for child
care, and they wind up having much higher labor force participation for women,” Mr. Powell said, “We used to lead
the world in female labor force participation, a quarter-century ago, and we no longer do. ”
But Mr.Powell did voice qualified support for a few broader ideas. He made it clear that the labor market
remained far from healed, that the pandemic's economic outcome has largely hurt women and minorities since the
winter of 2020, and that both Congress and the central bank have a role to play in supporting working-class
families until the economy has recovered more fully. As Mr. Powell implied, adult women in the United States hold
jobs or look for them at lower rates than women in some other major advanced economies, such as Canada or
Germany.
Research has suggested that the change may be linked to child care policies. In a 2018 paper that asked why
the share of Canadians who work or look for jobs had climbed even as United States labor force attachment had
fallen, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco pointed out that most of the gap owed to different
outcomes for women.And they pointed to caregiving policy differences as a likely reason.
“Parental leave policies in Canada provide strong motivation to remain attached to the labor force following
the arrival of a new child," the paper, written by the San Francisco Fed president,Mary C. Daly,and
co-authors,pointed out.“The contrast between the motivations Canada and the United States offer prime-age
workers to remain attached to the labor force is clear.”
The fact that child care responsibilities fall heavily on women in the United States has come under a brighter
spotlight during the pandemic, which has shuttered schools and disproportionately left women bearing added child
care responsibilities during the traditional workday.
28. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The rate of American female employment was the highest five decades ago.
B. Women in the USA are fed up with labor work.
C. The USA has lost its leading status in female labor force participation.
D. Advanced Western countries have lower rate of employment compared with that of the USA.
29. According to the passage, who most need financial support after being affected by COVID-19 in the US?
A. The black females and children.
B. The working-class Americans.
C. The high-income groups.
D. The businessmen and politicians.
30. As for the different employment rate among advanced economies, what may be the main cause?
A. Different social status.
B. The economic income.
C. The child care policy.
D. Government economic policy.
31. How can we describe the situation of American women during the pandemic?
A. American women live under great pressure.
B. American women live a carefree life.
C. American women are hardworking and optimistic.
D. American women are unemployed and pressured.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。由于新冠病毒的传播，美国妇女承受着更大的压力，失去了在劳动参与力上
的全球领先地位。政府改进的儿童保育支持政策，会有助于吸引更多女性进入劳动力市场。
【28 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We used to lead the world in female labor force participation, a quarter-century ago,
and we no longer do.”（25 年前，我们曾经在女性劳动力参与方面领先世界，现在我们不再是这样了。）可知，
美国失去了在女性劳动力参与率方面的全球领先地位。故选 C 项。
【29 题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“ He made it clear that the labor market remained far from healed, that the pandemic's
economic outcome has largely hurt women and minorities since the winter of 2020, and that both Congress and the
central bank have a role to play in supporting working-class families until the economy has recovered more fully.”
（他明确表示，劳动力市场仍远未愈合，自 2020 年冬天，流行病的经济结果已经很大程度上损害了女性和
少数民族，国会和央行都有责任在经济充分复苏之前支持工人阶级家庭。）可知，最需要财政支持的是工人
阶级。故选 B 项。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段第一句“Research has suggested that the change may be linked to child care policies.”（研
究表明，这一变化可能与儿童保育政策有关。）是承上启下的过渡句，说明美国女性劳动力参与率较低的原
因与儿童保育政策有关，结合下文对其他发达国家的描述，说明发达经济体之间女性劳动力的差异主要原
因是儿童保育政策。故选 C 项。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The fact that child care responsibilities fall heavily on women in the United States
has come under a brighter spotlight during the pandemic, which has shuttered schools and disproportionately left
women bearing added child care responsibilities during the traditional workday.（在大流行期间，美国妇女承担
着照顾孩子的重任，这一事实受到了越来越多的关注。流行病导致学校停课，妇女在传统工作日承担了更
多照顾孩子的责任。）”可推断，在流行病期间，美国妇女承担巨大压力。故选 A 项。
D
Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video
games. The study, published in Frontiers In Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs（Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony
and Ivory)to play a simple joystick(操纵杆）game with their noses, moving a cursor(光标）to four targets on the
screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time soon, they did show an
understanding of some elementary games.
Performing well above chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by
the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the
researchers.
“It is no small achievement for an animal, to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is
having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are
capable of learning and how such learning may impact them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the
study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation,
they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs
became unwilling to participate in, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use
mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after
oral commands.
“As with any sentient(有感觉力的）beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and
matters to them,” Croney said. “We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and
what they are capable of leaning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they
understand their interactions with us and their environments.”
32. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. Pigs have the potential to play games well.
B. Pigs have noses as flexible as human hands.
C. Pigs possess the mental ability we didn’t know.
D. Pigs know well about what they are playing.
33. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Playing joystick games so well.
B. Realizing the effects of their acts.
C. Carrying out tasks with their noses.
D. Following human oral commands.
34. Which of the following can improve the performance of trained pigs?
A. Less challenging video games.
B. A nice treat before the experiment.
C. Severe punishment if necessary.
D. Inspiring words from experimenters.
35. What does the author think of the research findings?
A. They reflect the needs to interact more with animals.
B. They offer humans ideas of how to live with animals.
C. They encourage us to explore how pigs interact with us.
D. They show us how pigs interact with their environments.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇科研类文章，一项新表明猪可以通过自己的鼻子来使用操纵杆完成一些游戏，并且能够

与我们和环境互动的。
【32 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the
mental capability to play video games.”（是时候玩一些流行的游戏了：新的研究表明猪拥有玩电子游戏的心智
能力。）和第二段最后一句 The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”,

同寻常”。）可知，猪有玩游戏的潜力。故选 A。
【33 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“It is no small achievement for an animal, to grasp the concept that the behaviour
they are performing is having an effect elsewhere.”（对于一种动物来说，能够理解自己的行为在其他地方产生
影响这一概念是一个不小的成就。）可知，this 是指“认识到他们行为的影响”。故选 B。
【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句 In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became
unwilling to participate in, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.（事实上，
当游戏变得更具挑战性，猪变得不愿意参与时，“只有实验员口头鼓励”才能看到训练继续进行。）可知，来
自实验者的鼓舞的话语能改善被训练的猪的表现。故选 D。
【35 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information,
and what they are capable of leaning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they
understand their interactions with us and their environments.”（因此，我们有道德责任去了解猪是如何获取信息
的，以及它们能够学习和记忆什么，因为这最终提供了它们如何理解与我们以及它们的环境的互动的潜力。）

The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”， as the Japanese call people
aged between 65 and 75, who continue to work and stay socially engaged. ____36____. The yold are more
numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.
____37____ Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命)in rich countries between 2000 and 2015,
says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay
healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to
slow the cognitive (认知的)decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.
The yold are not just any group of old people They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as
who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. ____38____They become one of the fastest
growing group for airline business. They spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than young adults. So
they are vital to the Tourism industry. They are also changing education and finance Because of the
importance of pensions,the yold are transforming insurance companies from passive distributors of fired an nuities
(年金)to financial service providers for customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.
____39____They find that older workers have, if anything,slightly above-average productivity and that teams
of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all.Societies should be better off because public
spending on health and pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.
Today,some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is
public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that 60-somethings ought to quietly retire
into the background. ____40____ The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and,in the
process,help change attitudes towards aging itself.
A. Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.
B. Many companies discriminate against older workers by offering training only to younger ones.
C. The rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.
D. Health worsens with age,but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.
E. Many bosses think productivity falls with age,but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.
F. That will disturb consumers, service and financial markets.
G. The yold,in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. E 40. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文从日本老龄化社会出发，论述了悠得人群体日渐成为社会生产力和消费力
的现象。
【36 题详解】
下一句“The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.(与上一代老
年人相比，悠得人的数量更多，更健康，也更富有)”说明悠得人比上一代老年人的数量更多，更健康，也
更富有，因此，G 项“The yold, in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world(悠得
人，以他们年轻老人的新面貌，有望改变这个世界)”符合语境，选项中的“new appearance”是关键词，与
下文构成顺承关系，故选 G 项。
【37 题详解】
下一句“Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命)in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says
the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health.(世卫组织称，2000 至 2015 年间，富裕国家的预期寿命延长了
3.7 年，其中有 3.2 年是在良好的健康状态下度过的)”提到世界卫生组织的调查结论，随着人们预期寿命的
增长，健康的年限也在增长，且下文的“Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy
longer. ”说明工作有益健康，可推知，首句必然和健康有关，因此，D 项“Health worsens with age, but the yold
are resisting the decline better than most.(健康状况随着年龄的增长而恶化，但悠得人比大多数人更能抵抗这种
衰退)”符合语境，与最后一句“The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.(悠
得人群的境况也更富有，而其他所有年龄组的财富都在下降。)”呼应，介绍悠得人群的优点。故选 D 项。
【38 题详解】
上文“The yold are not just any group of old people They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired
as who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. (悠得人并非仅是一波寻常的老人。他们正在
挑战人们对退了休的人穿着拖鞋、照看孙儿这种惯有的预期)”以及下文“So they are vital to the Tourism
industry. They are also changing education and finance… (因此，它们对旅游业至关重要。他们也在改变教育和
金融)”谈到，这批人将改变对老人的传统印象，认为老人是待在家里的照顾孙子孙女的，下文谈到是老人
开始成为航空业、旅游业的常客，甚至超过了年轻人，可推知，该题干要体现出与常识不同的差异性，因
此，F 项“That will disturb consumers, service and financial markets(这将扰乱消费者、服务业和金融市场)”符
合语境，该选项中“disturb”是关键词，与上下文呼应。故选 F 项。
【39 题详解】
下 文 “They find that older workers have, if anything, slightly above-average productivity and that teams of
workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all(他们发现，若要说有什么区别的话，老年员工
的生产率略高于平均水平；而由来自不同代际的员工组成的团队生产率最高)”谈到，年长的工人的效率会
更高，因此，E 项“Many bosses think productivity falls with age, but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.(许多
老板和人力资源部门认为生产率会随年龄增长而下降，但是德国的研究表明并非如此)”符合语境，反驳一
些人所认为的工作效率随年龄增长而倒退的观点。故选 E 项。
【40 题详解】
上 文 “The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that
60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background(最重要的是公众对老年人的态度，尤其是对 60 多岁
的人应该悄悄退居幕后的期望)”以及下文“The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly
and, in the process, help change attitudes towards aging itself.( 悠得人将要求公司变得更“高龄友善”，并在这
一过程中帮助改变人们对于“变老”这件事本身的态度)”提到，一些人认为 60 岁以上的员工应该迎接退休，
下文又谈到了悠得人的诉求，希望公司变得更“高龄友善”，可推知，B 项“Many companies discriminate
against older workers by offering training only to younger ones(许多公司歧视年长的工人，只给年轻人提供培
训)”符合题意，符合上下文反对年龄歧视的语境。故选 B 项。

A boy named Ali had a large and harmonious family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother.
His grandmother loved everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. she was very old, yet sometimes
she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times
they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.
One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织)，Granny remembered something and she
couldn't contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son-Ali's father She walked as fast as she could to his room
and said, “You always asked about my birth date but do you know today is the day when I was born.”
She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son
wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he
didn't pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son's reaction, Granny then went to Ali's mother and Ali's
sister, but like Ali's father, nobody believed her.
Disheartened, she went and sat in the terrace (庭院).When Ali returned from his school, he found his
grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was
nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she revealed what was troubling her-nobody seemed to care that it
was her birthday today!
After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali's friends were playing
nearby so he shared his plan with them.

designer and host, preparation for a performance stage was soon finished. Afterwards, a series of eye-catching
performances, ranging from dancing, crosstalk, acrobatics and magic tricks were given by Ali's friends. By this
time, the audience had expanded from granny to Ali's whole family, all of whom gave thunderous applause to the
carefully staged shows. Towards the end, a huge banner saying 'Happy Birthday, granny!' was put up on the central
stage, which pushed the warm and loving atmosphere to its peak.
Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes. “For all my life, I have… never
spent… my birthday with so many… relatives and… lovely kids. Thank you, Ali and all of you kids.” Granny
stammered, choking up with gratitude and bliss. “Never mind, granny!” Ali grinned, knowing deep down that the
real reason for granny's tears was not the party itself, but love, care and trust from her family members, which she
believed were gone when they reacted indifferently to her 'made-up' birthday.
