21、After two years of working from home, we have adapted to communicating digitally, in short bursts of time. Remember in Before Times you could head to the gym after work and then get dressed for dinner and a night out? The pandemic(疫情) has changed this. Our social batteries have run out of charge. It’s been a long time since we had to perform our social role for an extended period.

For 23-year-old Jennie, the excitement of her friends and family to restart their social lives has left her astonished. “At the minute my parents are planning a trip abroad and I keep postponing getting back to them with a date,” she explains. “They don’t know it’s because of all of this. Just the thought of being in a room full of people is scary, it’s like going back to school.”

Heather Garbutt, psychotherapist of The Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre says communication is key to recharging your unused social battery. “Take it slowly and don’t immediately organise a large get-together,” she advises. “Go for a walk with somebody for no more than half an hour and gently get used to being with people again. It may actually be a shock to our system which has been shut down to some degree to cope with absence. We may have that longing to be with others, but that doesn’t mean we are free from anxiety. It would be good to start off with a conversation about what it’s going to be like when you are all together again.”

She says finding some casual topics to discuss also works. Understand that many of you may feel a bit awkward after being physically apart for so long. It’s a bit like learning to walk again after you’ve broken a leg. It may all be off-balance to begin with but you will find a new steadiness with practice. Whatever happens post-pandemic, your loved ones can’t judge if you want to take it easy and not engage in the festivities immediately. We are recovering from a post-pandemic stress disorder, after all.

【1】What has become of us after two years of working from home?

A．We are addicted to chatting with people online.

B．We may feel it impossible to go back to normal.

C．We are quite looking forward to being with people.

D．We may find it hard to communicate with others like before.

【2】What can we learn about Jennie from Para 2?

A．She is excited to see her friends again.

B．She is not on good terms with her family.

C．She is not good at communicating with people.

D．She is anxious about meeting people face to face.

【3】What does Heather Garbutt advise us to do to get reconnected?

A．Pay a visit to a close friend and stay over.

B．Hang out with your friends for several hours.

C．Have a brief chat about your future get-together.

D．Ignore those who are anxious about connecting with others.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．How Can We Restore Our Social Batteries?

B．When Can We Speed Up Our Reunion Plan?

C．What Can Help Repair Our Social Networks?

D．Why Did the Pandemic Mess Up Our Social Life?

22、Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different contexts. “Life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag,” she said. “It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances.” She insists she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the traditional forms.

This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting.

Martha Graham’s first dance concert occurred on April 18, 1926. Experts of dance gathered at the Forty-eighth Street Theater in New York and witnessed Martha Graham’s first attempt of this new direction of dance. They saw through such dances as “Three Gobi Maidens” and “A Study in Lacquer” desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed.

In the early thirties, she founded the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attaching new pupils to her school - a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the development.

Martha Graham and the school she has founded represent the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance and taught it, but her students have gone out to fill the modern dance world.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A dancer’s view of life.

B．The revolution of art forms in the 1920's.

C．Martha Graham’s development of modern dance.

D．The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Graham’s style of dance differed from traditional dance in the ________.

A．type of movements

B．speed of the performance

C．variety of themes

D．age of the performance

【3】The author uses the phrase “a sort of self-winding process” (in paragraph 4) to illustrate ________.

A．the new steps Graham developed for dance

B．the physical endurance of Graham’s dancers

C．the discipline demanded of the students in Graham’s school

D．the relationship between Graham’s performances and her school

23、   Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.

Tea remained rare and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.

At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her, and so tea-time was born.

【1】Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?

A．The Britons got expensive tea from India.

B．Tea reached Britain from Holland.

C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.

D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.

【2】When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?

A．In the eighteenth century.

B．In the sixteenth century.

C．In the seventeenth century.

D．In the late seventeenth century.

【3】Why did people in Europe begin to drink tea with milk?

A．It tasted like milk.

B．It was good for health.

C．It became a popular drink.

D．They tried to copy the way Madame de Sevigne drank tea.

【4】What does this passage mainly discuss?

A．How tea-time was born in Britain.

B．The history of tea drinking in Britain.

C．How tea became a popular drink in Britain.

D．How the Britons got the habit of drinking afternoon tea.

25、   I grew up in an age of delayed satisfaction, when I had to wait for everything.

The mail came once a day, and I can still recall the _______ of expecting the Mad magazine or some cheap items I had _______. Classic movies were shown on television, and one could learn about them a week _______ from TV Guide. And of course, one had to be at home at the _______ time to watch them. And then the banks did business on weekdays only. They opened at 9 a.m. and closed at 4 p.m.

Such was the world as recently as in the 1970s. Everything seemed to operate on a _______ order. This was the way things worked, and it was all we knew. And then, _______ overnight, everything changed. It suddenly seemed as if we never had to be anywhere at an arranged time, because everything was _______ all the time. But rather than being _______ by what we have gained, I am gently disturbed by what was lost. Having to wait for almost, everything meant living a life in _______ moving. When one must follow ________, fixed schedules, one has no choice but to wait. In this way the virtue of ________ is preferred.

The changed times, on the other hand, have encouraged a constant sense of urgency, which is ironic (讽刺的): If we have anything we want anytime we want it, shouldn’t we be less ________? The answer is that an “on demand” lifestyle has created an ________ for speed. If I can have something this fast, why can’t we have it faster?

And so, on this hot day, as a gentle form of ________ against the demands of a hurried age, I went to the supermarket and bought three fresh lemons. Diligently, carefully and with no sense of needing to be anywhere else or do anything else, I ________ them into a tall glass. Then I filled the glass with cold water, ice, and a teaspoon of sugar.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options (选择): becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.

My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision.

It seemed like a brilliant idea. I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.

The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn’t have been more different. The hospital had an intense (紧张的) environment. The days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were heavy with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.

I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere (氛围), better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out.

Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.

Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
