第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
More than 40 years after buying Eng’s, a Chinese-American restaurant in New York state, Tom Sit is unwillingly considering retirement. For much of his life, he worked seven days a week, 12 hours a day. He parks in the same lot where he would take breaks and read his wife’s letters sent from Canada in the late 1970s. He seats his regulars at the same tables where his three daughters did homework.
Three years ago, at the insistence of his wife, Sit started taking off one day a week. He is 76, and they are going to be grandparents soon. Working over 70 hours a week is just too hard. However, his grown daughters have no intention of taking it over.
Across the country, owners of Chinese-American restaurants like Eng’s are ready to retire but have no one to pass the business on to. Their children, raised and educated in the United States, are pursuing professional careers that do not demand the same tiring labor as food service.
Rising rents, delivery apps, and tightening regulations on immigration have made the already tough restaurant business an even more difficult one in recent years. However, those are not factors specific to Chinese-American restaurants, and do not explain the wave of closing. Instead, a big reason seems to be the economic mobility(流动性) of the second generation. “It’s a success that these restaurants are closing,” said Jennifer Lee, a former New York Times journalist. “These people came to cook so their children wouldn’t have to.”
Sit has not yet found the right person to run the restaurant. If he ever does hand Eng’s to someone else, he will miss his customers. However, he is proud of what he has built. He is also proud that his daughters are working in jobs they have chosen, jobs that they love.
21. According to the article, which of the following statements about Tom Sit is true?
A. He and his wife lived together in the late 1970s.
B. He decided to retire because of his poor health.
C. He worked more than 90 hours a week before 2017.
D. He bought Eng’s shortly after moving to the United States.
22. Paragraph 4 explains the real reason why ______.
A. the number of Chinese-American restaurants is declining
B. fewer Chinese people now immigrate to the United States
C. Chinese food has become less popular in the United States
D. rents of Chinese food restaurants are rising in the United States
23. We can know that Sit’s daughters refused to take over Eng’s ______.
A. was a difficult decision
B. made him disappointed
C. came as no surprise to him
D. was what their mother desired to see
B
A PROFESSOR at Loyola University New Orleans taught his first online class from his courtyard, wearing a bathrobe (浴袍). The trouble caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn various responses at colleges struggling to continue teaching. This is widely being referred to as “online higher education.” There are even predictions that it will lead to a permanent departure from real campuses to virtual classrooms. However, all indications suggest that it probably won’t.
Real online education lets students move at their own pace. Additionally, developing a real online course can consume as much as a year. “That is not what is happening right now,” said Vijay Govindarajan, a professor at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. “What is happening now is we had eight days to put everything we do in class onto Zoom.”
What students are mistaking now for online education — long class meetings in videoconference rooms, professors in their bathrobes, DIY teaching tools — appears to be making them less open to it. In a survey of 14,000 college students in early April, 67 percent said they didn’t find online classes as effective as in-person ones. Among high school seniors, fewer than one in ten thought they would consider online college classes.
These opinions suggest that there is little likelihood that students will completely abandon their real-world campuses for cyberspace. Students who want classes best provided face to face, such as those in the performing arts or those which require lab work, will most likely continue to take them that way.
There will be some important lasting influences, though. Students are experiencing a flexible type of learning they may not like as undergraduates. The trend may not transform higher education, but it is likely to promote the combination of technology into it.
“Let’s take advantage of this moment to start a larger conversation about the whole design of higher education,” said Dr. Govindarajan. “We had better not lose this opportunity.”
24. According to the article, those who study ______ will be more likely to take online classes in college.
A. musical drama B. applied physics
C. chemical engineering D. computer science
25. From the article, the long-term goal of online education is to ______.
A. get rid of the real-world campuses
B. lower the cost of developing big courses
C. use digital technologies to satisfy students’learning needs
D. provide more students with access to courses of high quality
26. We can learn from the article that ______.
A. it is easy for most university professors to teach online
B. Dr. Govindarajan was positive about the outlook for online education
C. online classes worked better among high schoolers than among undergraduates
D. a flexible type of learning is more suitable for those who study while working full-time
C
People in Florida recently had to escape from flash floods after two feet of rain fell in 26 hours. Heavy rains caused a hillside to break down and bury a community in Washington State earlier this year. Rainstorms and floods attacked Colorado last year, and sudden floods swept Atlanta in 2009, and Nashville in 2010.
In the National Climate Assessment, published last week, researchers in the United States reported that “large increases in heavy rains have occurred in the Northeast, Midwest and Great Plains, where heavy downpours have caused flooding events and other relevant disasters”.
In the United States, the increase in water vapor (蒸汽) has been on the order of 3 percent or 4 percent since the 1970s, when most of the human-caused global warming has occurred since then. That may not sound like a big jump, but the effect is enormous. Two leading scientists, Kevin E. Trenberth at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and David R. Easterling at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ran some calculations and agreed that the global warming has, on average, put more than a trillion gallons (加仑) of extra water into the air over the 48 states, probably closer to two trillion. That extra water has to fall as rain or snow if the condition is suitable.
“It rains harder than it used to,” said Dr. Trenberth, who could not resist adding: “When it rains, it pours.” So they suggested intensifying standards for the designs of dams, and hardening roads and culverts(涵洞) against the possibility of more flash floods.
The warming of the planet has slowed in recent years, but scientists think that is likely temporary. They expect it to get much, much warmer as this century progresses, and that can only mean that the rains will fall harder still.
27. Why did the author mention some floods in the first paragraph?
A. To lead to the topic. B. To attract young readers.
C. To show some evidence D. To show the latest events.
28. What does the underlined word “intensifying” mean in paragraph 4?
A. changing. B. adjusting. C. strengthening. D. decreasing.
29. What can we infer about the climate in the future?
A. The climate will be better soon. B. The bad climate will disappear.
C. The bad climate will be worse. D. The climate will keep the same.
30. The text is most likely to be found in ______.
A. A short-story collection B. A personal diary
C. A magazine of art D. A science magazine
