They are supposed to work full-time just on Saturdays in the Munchies Caf.C. They should have their own bikes to take this long-time newspaper delivery work

12、.D. They need to communicate in a certain foreign language when working for the City Museum shop.BConflict is on the menu tonight at the caf La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of Frances favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cur

13、e”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isnt always easy. The customers some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session are quick to intellectualize（高谈阔论）, but slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say one feels, or people think,” Le

14、hane told them. “Say I think, Think me.” A caf society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldnt seem more un-French. But Lehannes psychology caf is about more than knowing oneself: Its trying to help the citys troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to

15、 changes in the French lifestyle longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generations desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the eveni

16、ng. The citys “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehannes group just to learn to say what they feel. “The

17、re is a strong need in Paris for communication.” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends, and they need to open up.” Lehanne says shed like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives,

18、 these cafes wouldnt exist,” she says. “If life werent a battle, people wouldnt need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldnt be France.24.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?

They help people realize their dreams. D. They offer a platform for business links.CWhen school closes,

21、poor pupils lose the last social institution one that educates, feeds, and sometimes clothes them whereas richer pupils are gaining relatively more advantages. Disruptions（中断） to schooling tend to lower achievement while increasing inequality. A new industry of “Learning Pod”, where a group of famil

22、ies pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, is deepening that inequality. Scoot Education, whose normal business is providing substitute teachers for schools, quickly developed a sideline（副业）in learning pods in California. For younger pupils, the total cost of a pod, shared among all parents, is $3

23、49 a day, which is beyond what a poor family can afford. “Rich families can always find a way to educate their children, even if COVID-19 pandemic had not started, ”says Sarah Cohodes, a professor at Teachers College at Columbia University. Thus, if there would be no extraordinary interventions（干预）i

24、n the closing of schools, the long-run effects on those poor students are predictable. A team of five education scholars recently calculated that American schoolchildren in 2020 learned 30% less reading and 50% less maths than they would in a typical year. Despite that, the top third of pupils poste

25、d gains in reading. Data from Opportunity Insights, an economic-research team at Harvard University, shows that after lockdowns began in March pupils from low-income neighbourhoods fell permanently behind on online maths coursework, while those from richer areas quickly rebounded. Then there is the

26、problem of access to online classes. Nearly half of native American pupils and 35% of black and Hispanic ones do not have access to either a computer or the internet at home, compared with 19% of whites. Worsening mental health among poorer families will also hurt achievement. Elizabeth Ananat of Ba

27、rnard College and Anna Gassman-Pines of Duke University surveyed part-time workers in Philadelphia who had young children; half were showing their anxiety or depression for childrens schooling. 28. What do we know about Learning Pod?A. It was started as the key business by Scoot Education. B. Famili

Opportunities to use online resources. D. Low academic achievement of the poor. 31. This text is probably selected from _.A

30、. a health magazineB. an educational reportC. a science textbookD. a learning guideline DThe freezing Northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the l

31、and of warmth and vitamin C, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part particu

32、larly to my taste, dulled by months of cold weather root vegetables was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along Nor

33、th Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes. Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的）promise, Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. N

34、o matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home theyre unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Browns Grove Farms stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal and at that momen

35、t, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldnt be experiencing again for months. Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,

36、 a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where luckily for me I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew Id be ordering every tomato on it. 32. What did the author think of her winter life in New York? A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Anno

37、ying. 33. What made the authors getting up early worthwhile? A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air. C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmers market. 34. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter? A. They are soft. B. They look nice. C. They taste great. D. T

38、hey are juicy. 35. What was the author going to do that evening? A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel. C. Eat in a restaurant. D.

39、ake us. Its such a simple concept, yet its something we dont always do. I believe that having ONE goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals. By putting the belief into practice, I have achieved a lot of personal goals over time. 36 My answer takes a little explaining. I try to tu

40、rn my goals into habits, and in doing so, I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it for at least a month. The more you can focus, the more itll be on autopilot. 37 Youll still do it, but you only have to use minimal force to maintain it, and you can focus o

41、n your next goal or habit.Take my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting running and had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. So that was my goal. 38 First, I had to make running a daily habit. Second, I had to report to people in order to have accountability（负责）so that I co

42、uld not quit easily. I focused on the daily running habit for about a month, and didnt have any other goals or habits. When the running habit stuck, I started reporting to people I knew and blogging about my running every day. 39 I could focus on new goals without having to worry about the marathon.

43、 I still had to do the running, of course, but it didnt require constant focus. 40 I was able to achieve this because, all year long, I had daily running and accountability habits. I put my marathon goal into autopilot, so instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year, I focused on it for o

44、ne month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals. A. And eventually, I ran the first marathon in my life.B. At the beginning, it was very difficult for me to achieve this goal.C. But in order to achieve it, I broke it down into two habits.D. With this accountability, the

45、res no way I could stop running. E. Once you put it on autopilot, you dont have to focus on it much.F. My readers asked me how I was able to achieve them while working on different projects.G. Once those two habits were established, my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot.三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分
