• 2．Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School.For him，the sky's the limit，but it wasn't always that way.
     The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs，breaking his back.But，despite his father's best efforts，financial burdens steadily mounted.Staton's study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward.He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school.One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
     But with help from a free tutor，Staton's grades improved.He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school.However，his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury，which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports.He was rejected from every school he applied to.
     So to help support his family，Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company，which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined."Most of my coworkers were formerly imprijye.ained.So，it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself，" he told the reporter."They encouraged me to reapply to college.They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future."
     Through persistence，he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools -- getting accepted to five.Ultimately，he decided to commit to Harvard Law School -- and he'll never forget all the people who helped him get there."Throughout this time，people ask me， 'How did you do it？' It's more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me，and pushing me to win."

• 3．The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected older people around the world，causing destructive blows to their physical health，their mental health and their livelihoods.Even before the pandemic，reports showed that many older adults were already more socially isolated and experienced more loneliness than the rest of the population.Coronavirus control measures，including physical distancing and restrictions on social gatherings，increase the risk for social isolation and loneliness.The negative effects of ageism - the discrimination of older adults - enhance existing inequalities and make these challenges even more difficult to overcome.
      Ageism tends to paint all older adults as the same.The reality is that older persons are diverse and have several different identities.They are more than their age.Undervaluing the economic contributions of older adults is another form of ageism.In truth，many older people are essential to society and contribute to the economy in terms of both paid work and more importantly，less visible unpaid work such as care giving and volunteer work.The assumption that all older people are dependent is not only inaccurate but also harmful.
     How to protect the rights and dignity of older adults？The right care at the right time in the right place is crucial.Virtual solutions can help older adults get the help they need，in terms of social connections and access to services.But first，we must overcome the "digital divide." Older adults disproportionately have difficulty accessing technology and their digital literacy（素養(yǎng)）tends to be low.We must address the accessibility gap to deliver the support required for them.
     In addition，we must remember how much older adults still have to contribute to society.The best solutions encourage social participation and connectedness and raise a sense of belonging.Social connections between generations are vital.There is so much we can learn from each other.There's more work to be done，but removing our unfair judgment and acknowledging the importance of older adults in our economics and societies is an important start.
  
  （1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．Lifestyles of older adults.
  B．Conflicts between generations.
  C．Problems of the aging society.
  D．Challenges older adults face.
  （2）What can be inferred about older adults according to paragraph 2？

  
  A．They make a great contribution to society.
  B．They are too dependent on their children.
  C．They do more unpaid work than paid one.
  D．They gain wide public recognition for their work.
  （3）Which of the following can help older adults live a better life according to the author？

  
  A．Bridging generation gap.
  B．Offering digital training.
  C．Providing high-paying jobs.
  D．Sharing the latest digital phones.
  （4）To help older people，the text suggests people start by

  .
  A．helping them involve in society
  B．building closer connection with them
  C．learning more knowledge from them
  D．stopping discriminating against them

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      In 1951，I was eighteen and heading to Berkeley with only fifty dollars on me.My dream of attending the university was coming true.But I had to support myself to pay for the tuition and rent - my poor parents couldn't help me.I hoped to earn a scholarship.
      I worked several part-time jobs and studied hard.I didn't want to take an easy course.I'd come to the university to learn something and I believed I could excel （擅長(zhǎng)） academically and take tough subjects.
      I took a course "A Survey of World Literature，" taught by Professor Sears Jayne.Textbooks were too expensive for me to buy.Luckily，we could use paperbacks（平裝本）.I was fascinated with the concepts Dr.Jayne presented.To many students，it was just a degree requirement，but to me，it was a feast of exciting ideas.My classmates asked for my help and we formed a study group which I led.When I took the first exam，I was sure I'd done well.However，there in red was my grade，a 77，C-plus.I was shocked.English was my best subject.To add insult to injury，I found that my study mates that I coached had all received Bs.
      I'd never questioned a teacher about a grade before，but I was convinced that my answers deserved a higher grade.I managed to meet Professor Jayne，who listened to my passionate arguments but remained unmoved.
      I resolved to try harder.I read the paperbacks more carefully，but my efforts yielded another 77.Again，C-plus for me and Bs and As for my friends.Again，I returned to Dr.Jayne and questioned his judgment.Again，he listened patiently，discussed the material with me，but wouldn't change his mind -the C-plus stood.
      One more test before the final.The book we studied，The Wasteland was too expensive for me.I started copying all 420 pages with an old Royal manual typewriter.I doubled my efforts for this third exam.For the first time.I learned the meaning of the word "thorough".However，my efforts did absolutely no good.I got a 77，as before.
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請(qǐng)按照如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Back I marched into Dr.Jayne's office，with my dog-cared，note-blackened textbooks.______
      A week later，puzzled about the red A grade in my final exam，I hurried to Dr.Jayne's office.________
