played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess forthe first time,she gave Daniels a run for his money.Paired through DOROT,a New Yorkorganization which was launched in 1976,they are a.perfect match.“I was a good opponent forhim.I dont think he expected it.”Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well.Their weekly学科网（北京）股份有限公司games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy.Williams and Daniels relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations havelittle in common.Since its founding,DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in thefields of aging services.Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults,in servicesspecific to the persons needs and interests,with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years,but theclassification of loneliness as an epidemic（流行病）has emerged only in recent years.In 2018,the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness,highlighting the increasing concern aroundthe issue.This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission,which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy toaddress the issue.Fortunately,there are ways to battle loneliness,including the intervention in the lives ofisolated seniors by organizations like DOROT.It advocates building a support network by reachingout to family and friends,joining a community or social group,or volunteering to connect with like-minded people.The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generationalrelationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all theparticipants,young and old.Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones whichfosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations.Practicing self-care is alsoencouraged,as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.4.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 probably mean?A.She had a running race with Daniels.B.Daniels felt disappointed.C.Daniels had a tough win.D.She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.5.What is the purpose of DOROT?A.To make technological innovation.B.To enhance the living standards of the elderly.C.To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.D.To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.6.What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.The solution to loneliness.B.The root cause of loneliness.C.The classification of loneliness.D.The growing attention to loneliness.7.In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?A.Society Watch.B.News Express.C.Page Turner.D.Science Study.CSeveral years ago,I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was workingwith the team on.a concussion（脑震荡）research project.The players were lined up in two rowsfacing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than,“on the whistle,hit the manacross from you”,great concern rushed through my mind.Professional sports get the lions share of attention,but over three million children andteenagers in the United States play the same game.This directly places concussions as a significantpublic health concern for all.However,for decades,concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-termconsequences.Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and“play through thepain”as a sign of toughness.In 2005,with the release of the brain tissue pathology（病理学）report of Mike Webstera,a retired National Football League player,our thinking on concussionbegan to shift.Since then,public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blowsto the head.As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as aninjury,so too did the development of player equipment.In the early 1900s football was played without helmets（头盔）,but severe injuries,likeskull fractures,led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first face mask enteredthe game in the 1950s.Modern helmets use advanced shel1 materials,have moveable panels toabsorb forces,and multi-layered padding that responds to different impacts.Companies willcontinue to improve helmets as new materials become available,guided by the newest science.Sports are an important part of a societys culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise.Yet,participation in any sport carries injury risk,and concussion will always bepart of that.As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career,ensuringthem play safely at all levels is essential.8.What made the author feel concerned?A.The coachs inexperience.学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.The physical conflicts among the players.C.Unawareness of the potential injuries.D.Unpredictable outcome of the project.9.What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?A.They tended to ignore it.B.They felt scared about it.C.They quit playing immediately.D.They refused medical assistance.10.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?A.Its gradual improvement.B.Its widespread influence.C.The discovery of its new materials.D.The difficulty of its mass production.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Exercise is vital for children.B.Sports safety cant be overemphasized.C.No participation in sports is without injuries.D.Concussion is the most common injury in sports.DPeople generally feel secure with certainty.To be certain is to have power and control.Certainty is often used as a metric（衡量标准）of value,shaping how people view themselves andothers.For example,people tend to respect those who present themselves as certain while viewingthose who express uncertainty as wishy-washy,and untrustworthy.Young people growing up in aculture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure,right,andgood.It is the idea,more than uncertainty itself,that causes great anxiety.But the reality is that certainty is transient;it is more a feeling than a fact.Too often people actas if certainties are drawn in permanent marker:Thick,clear,definitive,and rigid.But they are not.They are actually drawn with pencil-ready for revision,editing,and change.Springtides recent report,The State of Religion and Young People:Navigating Uncertainty,allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules学科网（北京）股份有限公司that isolate them from themselves and one another.Milly,a 25-year-old quoted in the report,described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather thancriticized:“Like,struggling to know what or what not to believe.Thats something we talked aboutin the group.It actually makes me feel a little bit better.Its like,oh,like we can have doubts.Wecan struggle with these feelings and theyre still,were still accepted,you know?So that wasactually kind of refreshing（Springtide,2021,p.46）.Young people are not rejecting certainty,but they are not accepting prepackaged answers orone-dimensional solutions.They are reexamining pre-drawn labels,beliefs,and identities anddaring to ask“Why?”Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider andrediscover uncertainty.We can listen to and learn from young people,embracing（拥抱）thisopportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth.If we will accept uncertainties,wemight discover the ways that multiple beliefs,practices,values,identities,and communities cancoexist and develop together.12.What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A.To explain a concept.B.To advocate a culture.C.To introduce a different opinion.D.To confirm an assumption.13.What does the underlined word transient”probably mean in paragraph 2?A.Changeable.B.Predictable.C.Popular.D.Objective.14.What was Millys attitude towards the group discussion?A.Intolerant.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Positive.15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Unmask the Culture of CertaintyB.Embrace the Gift of UncertaintyC.Certainty:Should It Be Rejected by the Young?D.Uncertainty:Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety?第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As the snow melts and

uneasy about the condition of your home to letanyone come inside,youre not alone.20 However,a cleaner space might help you feel morecomfortable about opening up your home to others.A.It signals a fresh start.B.Good habits can have a snowball effect.C.You may experience anxiety when focusing on things you cant control.D.We feel best when we take charge of the things that we do have control
