Joel Boyers and his fiancée, Melody Among, were heading home from the Nashville airport after she earned her helicopter’s pilot license when Boyers received a call from a stranger. The caller told him that her brother and his two daughters were surrounded by rising floodwaters in Waverly, 60 miles from Nashville and they didn’t think they would survive.
Desperate, the caller had Googled “Nashville helicopters”, and Boyers’s company, Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. She asked, “Could you please, please rescue my loved ones ”
Boyers, 41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Ma’am,” he said, “no one will fly in this weather.” But even before he finished the sentence, Boyers knew they would go back up. He put the brother’s address into his phone, then he and Among, 30, drove back to the airport. Soon, they were in the air, unprepared for what they were about to see in Waverly.
The flooding took out cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn’t use his phone to pinpoint the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. Maybe he’d get lucky.
As Boyers flew the helicopter, Among began searching for people stranded on roofs and bridges. One rescued man pointed to a teenager who was barely out of the water, soaking wet and exhausted, one hand grabbing a tree branch, the other a dog she’d rescued earlier. Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the helicopter until it was just above the water line. The rescued man leaped out and waded to the tree, where he helped the teen and dog onboard.
Boyers and Among’s mission ended 90 minutes after it began, when professional rescue helicopters showed up. It was good timing — Boyers and Among were almost out of fuel after rescuing 17 people. As for the woman who originally contacted Boyers, she called back to say that her brother and his daughters had also been saved.
4 Why did the woman call Boyers
A. Because she didn’t know who else to call for help.
B. Because she and her family were trapped in the flood.
C. Because Helistar Aviation specializes in disaster rescue.
D. Because his company was at the top of the search results.
5. Which of the following best describes the helicopter flight
A. Obviously risky.
B. Carefully planned.
C. Delightfully adventurous.
D. Unexpectedly challenging.
6. What do we know about the teenager
A. Boyers helped her from the tree to the helicopter.
B. A man who had been rescued earlier spotted her.
C. She was sitting in a tree waiting for rescue.
D. She was holding on to a dog for life.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage

C. Braving the Waters
D. A New Pilot’s Rescue
C
Can’t stop going online and buying stuff you don’t need In the past year of pandemic, millions of people turned to the Internet to order groceries, household supplies and other goods they’d typically purchase in person. Enabling us to do shopping without physical contact during the pandemic, our phones and laptops became safe shelter of commerce. But for some, online shopping can easily transform from a convenient consumer strategy into an excessive, harmful behavior called compulsive buying (or shopping addiction).
Compulsive buying is more than spending a bit too much time browsing the web. It’s a constant preoccupation (执念) and an overwhelming urge to shop — satisfaction comes from the process, not from the possessions themselves. The reward is divorced from the purchase’s practical purpose. In a 2015 review of research on compulsive buying, the authors write that patients report they “rarely or never use the bought items.”
A compulsive buying often begins, the same as it often ends, with negative emotions: loneliness, depression, anxiety. A person may turn to shopping because they are unable to deal with some stress in their life, or to boost their own sense of self.
The basic principle is that humans seek to enhance their mood, and in a year of isolation and uncertainty, many are more in need of coping mechanisms (应对机制) than ever before. We often refer to this emotional spending as “retail therapy”. Many people, however, are fooled by this name, as it implies the act will improve mental health. The opposite is far more likely. Compulsive buying can affect more than your mental health, too. The financial consequences are obvious, and many people have shopped themselves into debt. But as the behavior consumes more time and attention, it can just as easily spark conflicts with family and friends.
The activity of shopping and purchasing delivers a rush of dopamine (多巴胺), then leaves us feeling as low as ever. Internet vendors employed a series of clever sales strategies against our brains, making it all the more difficult to resist the desire to buy.
8. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. the possession of useful goods
B. the pleasure of spending money
C. the satisfaction of the urge to shop
D. the sense of achievement to revive economy
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Electronic equipment provided us with a variety of goods.
B. The pandemic fueled compulsive buying to some degree.
C. The “retail therapy” works well in health improvement.
D. Compulsive buying can lead to positive emotions.
10. What is the result of compulsive buying
A. Causing disagreement among consumers.
B. Improving physical and mental health.
C. Making people focus on family needs.
D. Making many people fall into debt.
11. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. The role dopamine plays.
B. Behaviors changed by the Internet.
C. Approaches to reflecting on shopping.
D. Sales strategies adopted by online businesses.
D
In high school, my husband was placed last in both swimming and cross-country running. “At that time, I decided to check out the theater department,” he often jokes. More than a decade later, he’s active — he takes a long daily walk, and spends his workdays moving heavy camera equipment around movie sets — but not athletic. The closest he’s come to running is meeting me at the finish line of a 5K.
According to a new study, his experience is somewhat common. People who have low sports aptitude as children are less likely to be active as adults, according to a new research from the United Kingdom.
The study involved more than 12,000 UK residents that experts have been tracking since 1958. These people filled out forms at ages 33 and 50 about their physical activity habits. Experts from the UCL Institute of Child Health in London compared the midlife survey results to data from the participants’ childhoods to see what early-life factors make someone more or less likely to work out as an adult.
Of all the factors they studied, including things like social status and parental divorce, being bad at sports as a child had the greatest influence on inactivity as an adult. Low sports aptitude increased the likelihood of being inactive by about 50 percent. “To our knowledge, no other study has considered such a wide variety of early-life factors,” the study’s authors write.
The study also found that about 18 percent of people started exercising more between ages 33 and 50. That means if you want to start working out more, it’s never too late to start.
“If you’re new to physical activity, try to find something that you have found interesting,” says fitness manager Anita Golden. He suggests power walking or DVD workouts at home if exercising around other people makes you nervous. Jogging, hiking and bike riding are other good individual activities to try. If you like working out with other people but are worried about your coordination (协调), try group fitness classes that stick to simple moves and basic equipment, like indoor cycling.
“Don’t compare yourself to others — you are your only competition,” Golden stresses.
12. What do we know about the author’s husband
A. He participated in the study.
B. He hardly excels at sports.
C. He runs with the author.
D. He’s into photography.
13. In what way is the study special
A. It is the first one on the topic.
B It has involved a great many people.
C. It has been carried out non-stop for years.
D. It has considered various early-life factors.
14 What is Golden’s suggestion for new exercisers
A. Work out with fitness instructors.
B. Don’t engage in workouts with others.
C. Take part in an activity that interests you.
D. Don’t wear yourself out when exercising.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To analyze a phenomenon.
B. To arouse an interest in sport.
C. To expose her man’s weakness.
D. To show the accuracy of the study.

Joel Boyers and his fiancée, Melody Among, were heading home from the Nashville airport after she earned her helicopter’s pilot license when Boyers received a call from a stranger. The caller told him that her brother and his two daughters were surrounded by rising floodwaters in Waverly, 60 miles from Nashville and they didn’t think they would survive.
Desperate, the caller had Googled “Nashville helicopters”, and Boyers’s company, Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. She asked, “Could you please, please rescue my loved ones ”
Boyers, 41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Ma’am,” he said, “no one will fly in this weather.” But even before he finished the sentence, Boyers knew they would go back up. He put the brother’s address into his phone, then he and Among, 30, drove back to the airport. Soon, they were in the air, unprepared for what they were about to see in Waverly.
The flooding took out cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn’t use his phone to pinpoint the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. Maybe he’d get lucky.
As Boyers flew the helicopter, Among began searching for people stranded on roofs and bridges. One rescued man pointed to a teenager who was barely out of the water, soaking wet and exhausted, one hand grabbing a tree branch, the other a dog she’d rescued earlier. Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the helicopter until it was just above the water line. The rescued man leaped out and waded to the tree, where he helped the teen and dog onboard.
Boyers and Among’s mission ended 90 minutes after it began, when professional rescue helicopters showed up. It was good timing — Boyers and Among were almost out of fuel after rescuing 17 people. As for the woman who originally contacted Boyers, she called back to say that her brother and his daughters had also been saved.
4. Why did the woman call Boyers
A. Because she didn’t know who else to call for help.
B. Because she and her family were trapped in the flood.
C. Because Helistar Aviation specializes in disaster rescue.
D. Because his company was at the top of the search results.
5. Which of the following best describes the helicopter flight
A. Obviously risky.
B. Carefully planned.
C. Delightfully adventurous.
D. Unexpectedly challenging.
6. What do we know about the teenager
A. Boyers helped her from the tree to the helicopter.
B. A man who had been rescued earlier spotted her.
C. She was sitting in a tree waiting for rescue.
D. She was holding on to a dog for life.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage
A. Struggling for Life
B. A Life-saving Call
C. Braving the Waters
D. A New Pilot’s Rescue
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了Joel Boyers和刚获得直升机飞行员执照的他的未婚妻Melody接到陌生人的电话，请求他们用飞机去搭救她的被困在洪水中的亲人，在专业救援直升机到达之前，两人花了90分钟时间，克服种种困难营救出17人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“Desperate, the caller had Googled ‘Nashville helicopters’, and Boyers’s company, Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. (绝望之下，打电话的人在谷歌上搜索了‘纳什维尔直升机’，Boyers的公司Helistar航空是第一个跳出来的)”可知，网站搜索的结果中Boyers的公司Helistar航空排在第一个，所以陌生人会向Boyers求救。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段第一、二句“Boyers, 41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. ‘Ma’am,’ he said, ‘no one will fly in this weather.’（41岁的Boyers向西望向韦弗利，看到了暴风云。‘夫人，’他说，‘没有人会在这种天气飞行的。’)”可知，这种天气驾驶飞机很危险。由第五段“Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the helicopter until it was just above the water line. The rescued man leaped out and waded to the tree, where he helped the teen and dog onboard.(由于没有地方让Boyers降落，他降低了直升机，直到刚好高于水面。获救的男子跳了出来，涉水来到树上，在那里他帮助少年和狗上了船)”可知，在施救过程中，Boyers冒险降低直升机刚好高于水面，风险很大。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段“One rescued man pointed to a teenager who was barely out of the water, soaking wet and exhausted, one hand grabbing a tree branch, the other a dog she’d rescued earlier. (一名获救男子指着一名刚浮出水面的少年，她浑身湿透，筋疲力尽，一只手抓着树枝，另一只手抓着她早些时候救过的狗)”可知，一名获救男子发现了这个少年。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容又，尤其第五段“Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the helicopter until it was just above the water line. (由于没有地方让Boyers降落，他降低了直升机，直到刚好高于水面)”和最后一段第二句“It was good timing — Boyers and Among were almost out of fuel after rescuing 17 people.(这是一个很好的时机，Boyers和Among在营救了17人后几乎耗尽了直升机的燃料)”可知，文章主要讲述Boyers冒险驾驶直升机从洪水中救人的故事。“Braving the Waters”意为“勇敢面对洪水”，可以作为本文最佳标题。故选C项。

C
Can’t stop going online and buying stuff you don’t need In the past year of pandemic, millions of people turned to the Internet to order groceries, household supplies and other goods they’d typically purchase in person. Enabling us to do shopping without physical contact during the pandemic, our phones and laptops became safe shelter of commerce. But for some, online shopping can easily transform from a convenient consumer strategy into an excessive, harmful behavior called compulsive buying (or shopping addiction).
Compulsive buying is more than spending a bit too much time browsing the web. It’s a constant preoccupation (执念) and an overwhelming urge to shop — satisfaction comes from the process, not from the possessions themselves. The reward is divorced from the purchase’s practical purpose. In a 2015 review of research on compulsive buying, the authors write that patients report they “rarely or never use the bought items.”
A compulsive buying often begins, the same as it often ends, with negative emotions: loneliness, depression, anxiety. A person may turn to shopping because they are unable to deal with some stress in their life, or to boost their own sense of self.
The basic principle is that humans seek to enhance their mood, and in a year of isolation and uncertainty, many are more in need of coping mechanisms (应对机制) than ever before. We often refer to this emotional spending as “retail therapy”. Many people, however, are fooled by this name, as it implies the act will improve mental health. The opposite is far more likely. Compulsive buying can affect more than your mental health, too. The financial consequences are obvious, and many people have shopped themselves into debt. But as the behavior consumes more time and attention, it can just as easily spark conflicts with family and friends.
The activity of shopping and purchasing delivers a rush of dopamine (多巴胺), then leaves us feeling as low as ever. Internet vendors employed a series of clever sales strategies against our brains, making it all the more difficult to resist the desire to buy.
8. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. the possession of useful goods
B. the pleasure of spending money
C. the satisfaction of the urge to shop
D. the sense of achievement to revive economy
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Electronic equipment provided us with a variety of goods.
B. The pandemic fueled compulsive buying to some degree.
C. The “retail therapy” works well in health improvement.
D. Compulsive buying can lead to positive emotions.
10. What is the result of compulsive buying
A. Causing disagreement among consumers.
B. Improving physical and mental health.
C. Making people focus on family needs.
D. Making many people fall into debt.
11. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. The role dopamine plays.
B. Behaviors changed by the Internet.
C. Approaches to reflecting on shopping.
D. Sales strategies adopted by online businesses.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是强迫性购物出现的原因和它的不良影响。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“In a 2015 review of research on compulsive buying, the authors write that patients report they “rarely or never use the bought items.”（在2015年一篇关于强迫性购买的研究综述中，作者写道，患者报告他们“很少或从不使用所购买的物品”。）”可知，购物脱离了实际的目的，强迫性购物买来的东西多数没有用，因此划线部分的意思是“拥有有用的东西”，故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Enabling us to do shopping without physical contact during the pandemic, our phones and laptops became safe shelter of commerce. But for some, online shopping can easily transform from a convenient consumer strategy into an excessive, harmful behavior called compulsive buying (or shopping addiction).（在疫情期间，我们的手机和笔记本电脑成为了安全的商业场所，使我们能够在没有身体接触的情况下购物。但对一些人来说，网上购物很容易从一种方便的消费策略转变为一种被称为强迫性购买（或购物成瘾）的过度有害行为。）”可推断出疫情在一定程度上助长了强迫性购买。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Compulsive buying can affect more than your mental health, too. The financial consequences are obvious, and many people have shopped themselves into debt.（强迫性购物不仅会影响你的心理健康。经济上的后果是显而易见的，许多人已经负债累累。）”可知，强迫性购买的结果是使许多人陷入债务。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Internet vendors employed a series of clever sales strategies against our brains, making it all the more difficult to resist the desire to buy.（网络销售商对我们的大脑采取了一系列聪明的销售策略，这使得我们更难抵制购买的欲望。）”可知，接下来作者应该具体说在线商务所采用的销售策略指的是哪些策略，故选D。
D
In high school, my husband was placed last in both swimming and cross-country running. “At that time, I decided to check out the theater department,” he often jokes. More than a decade later, he’s active — he takes a long daily walk, and spends his workdays moving heavy camera equipment around movie sets — but not athletic. The closest he’s come to running is meeting me at the finish line of a 5K.
According to a new study, his experience is somewhat common. People who have low sports aptitude as children are less likely to be active as adults, according to a new research from the United Kingdom.
The study involved more than 12,000 UK residents that experts have been tracking since 1958. These people filled out forms at ages 33 and 50 about their physical activity habits. Experts from the UCL Institute of Child Health in London compared the midlife survey results to data from the participants’ childhoods to see what early-life factors make someone more or less likely to work out as an adult.
Of all the factors they studied, including things like social status and parental divorce, being bad at sports as a child had the greatest influence on inactivity as an adult. Low sports aptitude increased the likelihood of being inactive by about 50 percent. “To our knowledge, no other study has considered such a wide variety of early-life factors,” the study’s authors write.
The study also found that about 18 percent of people started exercising more between ages 33 and 50. That means if you want to start working out more, it’s never too late to start.
“If you’re new to physical activity, try to find something that you have found interesting,” says fitness manager Anita Golden. He suggests power walking or DVD workouts at home if exercising around other people makes you nervous. Jogging, hiking and bike riding are other good individual activities to try. If you like working out with other people but are worried about your coordination (协调), try group fitness classes that stick to simple moves and basic equipment, like indoor cycling.
“Don’t compare yourself to others — you are your only competition,” Golden stresses.
12. What do we know about the author’s husband
A. He participated in the study.
B. He hardly excels at sports.
C. He runs with the author.
D. He’s into photography.
13. In what way is the study special
A. It is the first one on the topic.
B. It has involved a great many people.
C. It has been carried out non-stop for years.
D. It has considered various early-life factors.
14. What is Golden’s suggestion for new exercisers
A. Work out with fitness instructors.
B. Don’t engage in workouts with others.
C. Take part in an activity that interests you.
D. Don’t wear yourself out when exercising.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To analyze a phenomenon.
B. To arouse an interest in sport.
C. To expose her man’s weakness.
D. To show the accuracy of the study.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In high school, my husband was placed last in both swimming and cross-country running. More than a decade later, he’s active, but not athletic（在高中的时候，我的丈夫在游泳和越野赛跑中排名倒数。十几年后，他很积极，但并不是运动型的）”可知，作者的丈夫不擅长运动，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“‘To our knowledge, no other study has considered such a wide variety of early-life factors’,the study’s authors write（这项研究的发起者说道“‘就我们所知，没有那个研究考虑到了这么多早期的因素’）”可知，这项研究的特殊性在于考虑因素的范围很广，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“If you’re new to physical activity, try to find something that you have found interesting（如果你是体育锻炼新手，那么就要去尝试一些让你感兴趣的运动）”可知，Golden建议对于体育新手，应该尝试感兴趣的运动，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to a new study, his experience is somewhat common. People who have low sports aptitude as children are less likely to be active as adults, according to a new research from the United Kingdom（一项新的研究表明，他的经历很普遍。根据英国的一些新的研究表明，小时候运动天赋不足的人，成年后，运动也不是很积极）”可知，本文主要是在讨论这个普遍的现象，故选A。

【44题详解】

【答案】One possible version:
It’s my greatest honor/privilege to share some of my thoughts on learning English with you all.
To begin with, there is a common misunderstanding that learning English is all about learning grammar, which is especially true for/of students who grew up with strict grammar schooling. Remember that you only study grammar in order to communicate. So don’t be bothered with it.
From my point of view, learning English is always easier and more fun if you have a reason to do so. Be sure to remain focused on that reason, since it will help you get through the times when learning seems hard.
Obviously, there’s no magic way to learn English instantly. It just requires patience and practice. It is highly recommended that we practice reading and speaking on a daily basis.
Hopefully, what I have mentioned above can be of some help. Thank you!
