阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Set at the entrance to beautiful bays and natural harbors, lighthouses have prevented ships from touching the ground in shallow water for hundreds of years. Sadly, however, many of them are not needed because of effective onboard navigational (导航的) systems. As they were designed to be visible, lighthouses often become very distinctive landmarks: their shapes and colors stand out against the surrounding landscapes. Consequently, they make for some fantastic photo opportunities and are usually set in impressive spots along rocky coastlines or wild seas.
Galle Lighthouse
Located within the ancient walls of Galle Fort, the lighthouse of the same name has protected the surrounding waters ever since it was first built in 1848. While it is the oldest lighthouse in the whole of Sri Lanka, the current lighthouse’s blindingly bright white walls only date back to 1939, when it was rebuilt after a devastating fire.
Hercules Tower Lighthouse
Ever since the second century AD, Hercules Tower Lighthouse has watched out over Spain’s North Atlantic coastline. This remarkably makes it one of the very few oldest lighthouses still in operation today. Such is its age that it is believed to have been modeled after the Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Big Red Lighthouse
Standing proudly at the south side of the Holland Channel, Big Red Lighthouse presents a striking red appearance to increase its visibility in the daytime. Another unusual quality of Big Red is that the rare lighthouse watches over two bodies of water—Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.
21. Who are probably the fans of lighthouses nowadays
A. Photographers. B. Historians. C. Sailors. D. Scientists.
22. Which of the following is currently used for navigation
A. Galle Lighthouse. B. The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
C. Big Red Lighthouse. D. Hercules Tower Lighthouse.
23. What is special about Big Red Lighthouse
A. It has the same name as the ancient walls. B. It borders Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.
C. It gives off red light to increase its visibility. D. It is modeled after the ancient wonder.
B
Nashville-based helicopter pilot Joel Boyers had just finished his job on Saturday morning and was heading home when he received a call for help from a woman in Pennsylvania. Her brother Johnson’s home in Waverly, Tennessee, was underwater and he was trapped on a roof with his daughters. Could Boyers help “I thought how I would feel if I told her I was not even going to try ” he said in a Thursday interview. “She just so happened to call the right person, because I’m the only person crazy enough to even try to do that.”
The weather was terrible and Boyers had to deal with hills and power lines on the way to Waverly, a small city about 60 miles west of Nashville. Just before reaching the town, he found the Internet was down, making it impossible to locate the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway.
“When I arrived, it was nothing but raging water below me,” he said. A few people were out in boats, rescuing the trapped. Boyers was alone in the sky. He started flying up and down the flooded area, grabbing anyone he could.
Boyers said he ended up rescuing 17 people that day. He was proud of that, but said he was the one who should be thanking them. “I literally prayed just days before this that I would be given some meaning in my life, and then I end up getting this call,” he said. He had flown over disasters before including floods, but “The police are usually there, and my hands are tied. This time there isn’t any.” he said.
To perform the rescues, Boyers had to carefully avoid power lines, balance his skids (打滑) on sloped rooftops, and fly over flood waters. It took all the skills learned over 16 years of flying, including for a television news station, for documentaries and for country music stars. “I don’t want to lie,” he said. “It was almost a little fun for me.”
24. Why did Boyers fly to Waverly?
A. Because he had to do his routine tasks. B. Because his brother was caught in the flood.
C. Because he was going to have an interview. D. Because he received an emergency call.
25. What was the biggest obstacle to finding Johnson’s house?
A. A long distance. B. The Internet failure. C. High mountains. D. Fallen power lines.
26. Which of the following best describes Boyers?
A. Caring and courageous. B. Ambitious and demanding.
C. Modest and creative. D. Humorous and cooperative.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Surviving a Crisis B. Performing a Task C. Braving a Flood D. Testing Flight Skills
C
When Barcelona’s citizens emerged from a six-week lockdown at the end of April last year, they found that while the city had lain inactive, nature had been busy transforming the streets and parks into a wilderness. “The parks were shut, so no gardening was carried out,” says Margarita Pares, who heads the city’s biodiversity programme. “It was spring and it rained a lot more than usual. The result was an explosion in plant growth. And there were many more butterflies, as they are a species that reacts very quickly to changes in the environment.”
Once the gardeners went back to work, the question was whether to return everything to its neat and tidy state, or let nature take its course?The answer is neither. Pares says the council spent the previous two years working on plans to “naturalise” or “rewild” the city—and was about to announce this change of policy when the pandemic struck. By the time the lockdown ended, it was a lot easier to sell rewilding to the public desiring fresh air and open space. When it comes to embracing nature in its cities, Spain falls behind many countries. But it is hoped that Barcelona’s new policy will go some way to correcting that.
“In a city like Barcelona, it’s a case of replacing what exists with green infrastructure(基础建设),” says Lorena Escuer who has worked in Barcelona on a pilot scheme called Alcorques Vivos, which plants wildflowers at the base of trees in the streets rather than surrounding them with pavement. “It’s not having a park surrounded by asphalt(沥青)but introducing nature into the city,” she says. “People need re-educating. Their idea of a clean space is where there’s no life and the ecosystem is dead. There’s this idea that nature is something outside and that what’s natural for the city is for there to be nothing.”
“Rewilding has made us look at how we live and how we want to live. There’s no going back from here. The lockdown gave us a glimpse of nature in the city and it surprised us,” says Margarita Pares.
28. What happened to Barcelona after a six-week lockdown last year?
A. The environment became wild. B. Plants stopped growing.
C. Gardening was abolished. D. Fewer butterflies emerged.
29. What does the underlined phrase “new policy” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Returning Barcelona to neatness and tidiness. B. Filling open space with fitness facilities.
C. “Naturalising” or “rewilding” Barcelona. D. Developing economy to shake off backwardness.
30. Which of the following will Lorena Escuer probably support?
A. Surrounding trees with pavement. B. Promoting green infrastructure.
C. Building park roads with asphalt. D. Keeping the city empty and clean.
31. What is Margarita Pares’s attitude to “rewilding”?
A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
D
We tend to use more emotional language to enhance our powers of persuasion, according to research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research shows that people tend toward appeals that aren’t simply more positive or negative but are filled with emotionality, even when they’re trying to persuade an audience that may not be receptive to such language.
Understanding the components that make for a persuasive message is a critical focus of fields ranging from advertising to politics and even public health. The researchers wanted to look at the question from a different angle, exploring how we communicate with others when we are the ones trying to persuade.
In one online study, the researchers showed 1,285 participants a photo and some relevant details for a particular product available from Amazon.com. They asked some participants to write a five-star review that would persuade readers to purchase that product, while they asked others to write a five-star review that simply described the product’s positive features. The findings showed that although the reviews were equally positive in their language, the data showed that reviewers used more emotional language when they were trying to persuade readers to buy a product compared with when they were writing a five-star review without intending to persuade. Importantly, the shift toward more emotional language appeared to be automatic rather than deliberative.
The tendency to use more emotional language emerged even when participants were attempting to persuade a group of “rational” thinkers. “Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals,” the researchers say. “Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.”
An interesting avenue for future research, the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. “For instance, would people use less emotion if they were in a boardroom meeting or if they were writing a formal letter of recommendation ” the researchers wonder.
32. What is the study mainly about
A. The influence of positive words. B. The connection between emotion and persuasion.
C. The significance of understanding persuasion. D. The power of emotional language.
33. What did the online study find in paragraph 3
A. More positive language was used for persuasion.
B. Emotional language was naturally used to persuade readers.
C. Less emotional language was used to persuade readers.
D. Both of the reviews were objective in their language.
34. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 4
A. Damage the reputation. B. Produce the desired result.
C. Attract more attention. D. Have the opposite effect.
35. What does the last paragraph indicate
A. More research will be carried out in a boardroom meeting.
B. The researchers are not satisfied with the current avenue.
C. Future research will be done in various contexts.
D. A formal letter of recommendation should use less emotion.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can you remember what you ate yesterday If asked, most people will be able to give a vague description of their main meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner. But can you be sure you’ve noted every snack bar in your car, or every handful of nuts at your desk 36
We originally had this suspicion back in 2016, puzzled by the fact that national statistics showed calorie consumption falling dramatically over past decades. Now, the Office for National Statistics has confirmed that people are considerably under-reporting what they ate by 50%.
37 We can point to at least three potential causes. One is the rise in obesity levels itself. Under-reporting rates are much higher for obese people, because they simply consume more food, and thus have more to remember.
Another cause is that the proportion of people who are trying to slim down has been increasing over time. 38 It may be driven partly by self-deception or “wishful thinking”.
39 Both are in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake. Again, there is evidence that food consumed out of the home is one of the most poorly recorded categories in surveys.
So, what’s the message conveyed If people do not know how much they are eating, it can be really hard for them to stick to a diet. 40 Therefore, we can ensure what people eat won’t have much impact on their waistlines. If this works, it won’t matter if they can’t remember what they ate yesterday.
A. Why is this happening
B. What will come about next
C. Most people will feel that they’ve missed something out.
D. We should be looking for new ways to handle this problem.
E. The final one is an increase in snacking and eating out recently.
F. People are consuming more calories than the national statistics claim.
G. Those who want to lose weight are more likely to under-report their eating.

第二节(满分25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。
I grew up in a big family with my parents, my elder brother and sisters. They did all the things that I should do, including cleaning the house, washing clothes, making the bed and so on, so what I did at home was eating and sleeping. As time went on, I formed the habit of throwing my things everywhere. Once my family were out, what a mess my room was! My parents were worried about how I could manage myself when I had to leave home.
That day approached. This summer I was admitted by the best boarding school in our county. It was required that two students share one room. My roommate, Jenny, was a gentle and quiet girl. I was not very neat. On the contrary, Jenny was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Jenny got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out between us one evening. Jenny came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started shouting. She shouted back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Jenny answered it.
From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away that her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, crying.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone.

词义猜测题。分析语境可知,后文的话是对划线单词所在句的进一步解释。根据后文内容“Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.(我们的研究结果表明,在人们的头脑中,说服和情感之间有着足够强的联系,以至于他们甚至在面对可能产生意外结果的听众时,也会继续使用情感。)”可知,即使人们在说服有可能产生意外劝说结果的听众时,也会使用情感说服这一策略,即为划线单词所在句“Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals”表达的含义,由此可推知,“backfire”应是与“have an unintended result”表达含义一致,即,“产生事与愿违或适得其反的结果”,与选项D“Have the opposite effect.(有相反的效果。)”表达含义一致。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“An interesting avenue for future research, the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. (研究人员说,未来研究的一个有趣途径是调查这种关联是否会在不同的背景下转移。)”可知,研究人员对于“情感与劝说之间的联系在不同背景下的是否会有所不同”感兴趣,由此可推知,未来的研究方向是考察情感和劝说之间的联系是否涉及其他领域。故选C项。

五、书面表达
作文一:
Dear Peter,
Knowing that you’re keen on the Chinese zodiac, I am writing to introduce it to you.
The Chinese zodiac, also called shengxiao, is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It follows a twelve-year cycle according to the Chinese lunar calendar, with each year represented by a kind of animal, starting from Rat to Pig. 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. In our traditional culture, not only is Tiger considered a symbol of bravery and dignity, but it also stands for wealth and fortune.
May the Year of the Tiger bring you happiness and good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
作文二:
All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart. I tried to comfort her, but I didn’t know what to say. The only thing that I needed to do was to tidy up the room to show my care. And I also understood it was time for me to change myself. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor. I was so buried in my work that I even didn’t notice Jenny had sat up.
She was watching, her tears dried and disbelief on her face. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me “Thanks.” We made up! Jenny and I lived together for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree. However, we learned the key to living together: mutual understanding, forgiving and giving in.
