When Kirk Alexander went missing for 11 days, an unlikely savior came to his rescue： his neighborhood pizza store.

Almost every night for more than ten years. Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon ordered a late dinner from his local Domino's pizza store. He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes a pie, sometimes chicken wings. The only sure thing for the staff of the Silverton Road Domino's was that they would see Alexander's name show up on their online ordering site sometime between 11 p. m. and midnight several times a week.

Until suddenly, for nearly two weeks at the end of April 2016, they didn't.

It was a slow Saturday night on May 7th when Domino's general manager Sarah Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander's recent absence.

“I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered, Fuller told KATU. com. It was 11 days, which was not like him at all.

Fuller knew Alexander worked from home, and neighbors said he rarely left. She also knew that he had suffered some health issues in the past. Something, Fuller worried, was wrong.

Around 1 a. m. on Sunday. May 8, Fuller sent longtime delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to stop in at Alexander's home. Hamblen approached Alexander's door as he had countless times before and knocked. He could plainly see that Alexander's TV set was on, as were his lights； but after several minutes, Alexander still didn't answer the door.

Hamblen rushed back to the store to relay the upsetting developments to Fuller. She encouraged Hamblen to dial 911. Soon, officers were on their way.

When deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's office arrived at Alexander's house, they heard a man “calling for help from inside the residence, deputies said. They broke the door down, and found Alexander on the floor in need of immediate medical attention. One day later, and they might have been too late.

Alexander was rushed to Salem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition shortly after the dramatic rescue. In the following weeks, Fuller, Hamblen, and other store employees went to visit him with

23. On which of the following adventures will the traveler spend most?

flowers and cards, noting that Alexander greeted them with knowing smiles. 24. How did Fuller sense that something was wrong?

A. She knew Alexander had serious health problems. B. Alexander hadn't ordered chicken wings for nearly 2 weeks.

C. Alexander had never before broken his routine in the store for 10 years.

C. Every time Hamblen arrived at Alexander's house, he would knock first. D. When Hamblen had enough time in the past, he would go to Alexander's house. 26. In which column of a newspaper will you probably read this article?

For many Covid patients with long-term symptoms, online support groups have been an invaluable resource.

Several groups have thousands of members. In addition to connecting patients and advocating for better care, some groups are also launching their own research efforts or collaborating with researchers. Smaller groups have formed to focus on children or patients with specific symptoms, such as heart or neurological issues.

Among the most active is Body Politic, a support group that started in late March as a small Instagram group chat. It now has more than 14, 000 sign-ups from people across the world and moved to Slack where it has organized into more than 50 channels on different topics.

The group also launched a patient-led research arm, publishing its first survey in May and currently working on another one.

Diana Berrent, a 46-year-old in Port Washington, N. Y. , founded Survivor Corps, a group and website, in late March after being diagnosed with Covid. Her original mission was to mobilize recovered Covid-19 patients to donate plasma.

The group now has more than 110,000 members and has become an advocacy group for patients dealing with long-term symptoms. The group is working with researchers and lobbying for more long-term Covid care centers.

Another popular support group is Long Haul Covid Fighters, which started on in April. Once it became clear that some Covid-19 patients weren't getting better even after three months, a second group

formed in June for those earlier in their illness.

“Each group is limited to about 5, 000 members,\" says Chelsea Alionar, a 37-year-old long Covid patient in Keizer, Ore. , and an administrator. Ms. Alionar says there are new plans for a third group as the number of patients grows.

“Our mission is to provide support for those whose health has been affected by Covid- 19, to promote public awareness and education regarding lengthy Covid recovery, and to advocate for the medical, mental health, and social interests of long haul Covid survivors,\" says Ms. Alionar. 28. What do we know about Body Politic?

A. It is the most active online support group. B. It has attracted Covid survivors all over the world. C. It has published its first survey in late March. D. It works on Instagram and Slack at the same time.

29. What was Diana Berrent's initial intention of setting up Survivor Corps?

A. To cure herself of a disease.

B. To promote public awareness and education.

C. To provide support to people who have survived Covid. D. To call on Covid survivors to contribute their plasma. 30. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?

A. Each of the groups has at most 5,000 members. B. Chelsea Alionar has recovered from Covid-19.

C. More online Covid support groups will be needed in the near future. D. The number of the people who suffer from Covid-19 is on the decrease. 31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The task and responsibility of the online support groups. B. The support for the people suffering from Covid. C. The ways to deal with Covid-19 in the long term. D. The types of the online support.

D

In a large survey of people's first memories, nearly 40% of participants reported a first memory that is likely to be fictional, according to findings published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

Current research indicates that people's earliest memories date from around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. However, the study from researchers at City, University of London, the University of Bradford, and Nottingham Trent University found that 38.6% of 6, 1 participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger, with 3 people claiming memories from age 1 or younger. This was particularly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults.

As many of these memories dated before the age of 2 and younger, the authors suggest that these fictional memories are based on remembered fragments（碎片）of early experience-such as a pram（婴儿

车），family relationships and feeling sad — and some facts or knowledge about their own infancy or childhood which may have been derived from photographs or family conversations.

“Further details may be unconsciously inferred or added, e. g. that one was wearing nappy when standing in the cot（幼儿床）,\" added Shazia Akhatr, first author on the study and Senior Research Associate at the University of Bradford.

“When we looked through the responses from participants we found that a lot of these first 'memories’ were frequently related to infancy, and a typical example would be a memory based around a pram,\" explained Martin Conway, Director at the Centre for Memory and Law at City, University of London and coauthor of the paper.

“For this person, this type of memory could have resulted from someone saying something like 'mother and a large green pram'. The person then imagines what it would have looked like. Over time these fragments then become a memory and often the person will start to add things in such as a string of toys along the top,\" he added.

“Crucially, the person remembering them doesn't know this is fictional,\" Conway noted. \"In fact when people are told that their memories are false they often don't believe it. This partly due to the fact that the systems that allow us to remember things are very complex, and it's not until we're 5 or 6 that we form adult-like memories due to the way that the brain develops and due to our maturing understanding of the world. 32. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Unique.

B. Crazy.

C. Common. D. Doubtful.

33. What can be concluded from the study mentioned in the passage?

A. Some people have clear knowledge about their own infancy. B. Added details are an important clue to recall the childhood. C. Most people claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. D. Talks between family members influence the earliest memories. 34. How does Martin Conway present his opinion?

A. By making comparison. C. By analyzing data.

35. What's the main idea of the text?

A. Many people's earliest memories may be fictional. B. People's earliest memories can date back to 2 or younger.

C. The middle-aged and adults specialize in detailing their first memory. D. Memories develop due to our maturing understanding of the world. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

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。 The sky was clear blue and the sun cast diamonds down on fields, forests and villages. A flock（群）of wild ducks were flying in formation heading south for the coming winter. They formed a beautiful V in the sky and were admired by everyone who saw them from below.

It was a fine September afternoon that Wally, one of the wild ducks in the formation spotted something on the ground. It was a yard with a flock of tame（驯服的）ducks who lived on the farm. They were wandering around on the ground, quacking merrily and eating corn that was thrown on the ground for them every day. Wally was satisfied with what he saw. How comfortably they live! “It sure would be nice to have some of that corn,\" he thought to himself. And all this flying is very tiring. \"I'd like to just wander around for a while like these tame ducks. \"

So, after thinking it over a while, Wally left the formation of wild ducks, made a sharp dive and headed for the barnyard directly. He landed safely among the tame ducks, and began to waddle around and quack quickly. He also started eating corn in cheerful spirits.

At the same time, the formation of wild ducks continued their journey south, but Wally, who was content with the delicious corn, didn't care. “I'll rejoin them when they come back north in a few months,\" he said to himself.

Several months went by and one day, Wally looked up and spotted the flock of wild ducks flying in formation, heading north. They still looked beautiful up there, attracting everyone's attention without doubt. And Wally was tired of the yard. It was muddy and everywhere he wandered there was nothing but duck waste. \"It's time to leave.\" said Wally, staring at the wild ducks in the air. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

So Wally moved his wings with all his strength and tried to fly. When the flock of wild ducks flew overhead once more, Wally tried again to join them.
