Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.A positive influencerCompared to most people with disabilities, Zhao Hongcheng is lucky. Born in 1990, a wheelchair (21) _ (be) part of Zhaos life s
16、ince she was 1 year old due to a disease. However, it did not stop her from completing her college and graduate studies before becoming a white-collar worker in Shanghai, (22) _ _ her parents great support. And now, Zhao is a video content creator, who has over 84,000 followers on a video-sharing pl
17、atform.“I made my first video in 2019,” Zhao says, (23) _ (add) that it was also the year she moved to Shanghai. “My original purpose was (24) _ (find) an emotional outlet. I always encountered inconvenience (25) _ (cause) by my wheelchair when going out, which made me feel sad. However, I barely ha
18、d any disabled friends, so I had no one to talk to. I felt quite lonely.” In 2019, the rising popularity of short videos inspired Zhao. “I felt that I should make some videos of (26) _ I experienced in my daily life. If it went well, it could give people with disabilities references and suggestions,
19、 and if not, at least it would draw peoples attention to related issues,” Zhao says. To her great surprise, the video (27) _ (view) more than 2,000 times on the first day. “(28) _ made me feel that there were many things worth sharing in my life, and it also gave me a sense of mission,” she explains
20、. (29) _ her fourth video went viral (走红), she continued to make short videos and, in 2021, became a full-time content creator on the platform.Yet, most people with disabilities are not as lucky as Zhao. Zhao says education and employment are the two major obstacles for the disabled group around her
21、. In addition, the construction of accessible facilities is still at a relatively early stage. “Shanghai is the city (30) _ I have the best experience as a wheelchair user, but it still cannot guarantee that I can go out alone,” she says, adding that only with deep understanding and recognition can
22、the system be implemented better.Zhao hopes to be a bridge between the wider society and the disabled.Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. accommodateB. alternativeC. eff
23、iciencyD. coincidentallyE. dominateF. simplifyG. enthusiastic H. favoriteI. immediatelyJ. multifunctionalK. consumptionLess is MoreDid you know that Americans have approximately three times the amount of space we have fifty years ago? Therefore, youd think wed have sufficient room for all of our pos
24、sessions. However, thats not the case. Weve got triple the space, but weve become such (31) _ consumers that we require even more. This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints, and perhaps not (32) _, happiness levels have failed to increase over th
25、e same half century.Im here to suggest a(n) (33) _ that having less might actually be a preferable decision. Many of us have experienced, at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less. I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize, but also (34) _ your life. I recently st
26、arted an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required. By purchasing an apartment that was 40 square meters instead of 60, I (35) _ saved $200,000. Smaller space leads to reduced bills and also a smaller carbon footprint because its designed around an
27、edited collection of possessions, limited to my (36) _ stuff. Im really excited to live there.How can we live more basically? Firstly, we must cut the unnecessary objects out of our lives without hesitation. To reduce (37) _, we should think before we buy, and ask ourselves, “will it truly make me h
28、appier?” Secondly, we require space (38) _. We want appliances that are designed for use most of the time, not for occasional use. Why own a six-burner stove when you rarely use even three burners? Finally, we need (39) _ spaces and housewares. I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture t
29、o get more out of my limited space. Consider my coffee table. It increases in size to (40) _ ten people. My bed simply pops out the wall. Im not saying, we should all live in tinier apartments, but consider the benefits of an edited life. When you return home and walk through your front door, take a
30、 moment to ask yourselves, “Could I do with a little life editing? Will that give me more freedom and more time?”III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase th
31、at best fits the context. Loans at public libraries fell dramatically during the pandemic (疫情), while website visits rose. If the service is to (41) _ further cuts, it needs users. Libraries are romantic yet plain places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning
32、 that is (42) _ in them. The plain side of libraries is more (43) _. This is the world of buildings, shelving, books, library cards, computersand people with bodies that (44) _ space as well as minds that can be opened. It would be hard to find anyone who actively (45) _ libraries, and question the
33、principles of self-improvement that they stand for. But when it comes to (46) _, Britains libraries are on less solid ground. The sector has been cut (47) _ in the past decade, with around 800 libraries across England disappearing.The first Covid lockdown caused a new (48) _ of interest in reading,
34、as the idea took hold that people forced to stay at home would spend more time with their noses in books both finding out more about the virus and escaping from it. But the latest data regarding libraries is (49) _ for anyone who values them as bricks-and-mortar (实体店) places to go. The number of boo
35、ks borrowed in the year ending in March 2021 was 72.9m, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also (50) _, from 214.6m to 59.7m, compared with the fact that website visits grew by 18% to 154.7m. Of course, this is the behavior that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were clo
36、sed during this period, when people were (51) _ from unnecessary mixing. Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single, untidy bookshelves, appear to be (52) _, with more ones springing up. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their form
37、er level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as rivals (竞争对手), (53) _ the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library loversas can be seen from the volumes they have inspired.This has somethin
38、g to do with the romantic notion of the reader as (54) _, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also shows the recognition that if books are to form part of our (55) _ life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is a
39、lso something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.41.

43、just read.(A)The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. Id say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience.
44、And he was always respectful of the other students perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didnt need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus
45、. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan papers in order. But he said he was still coming to campus to attend events or see friends. He asked seriously whethe
46、r he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldnt get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles a 63-year-old man with as much energy and
47、 curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. For an assignment on changing neighborhoods, Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was “unceremoniously closed.” He called it a theft of childhood. “It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and rudely replaced it with a slippery hill
