It was a Sunday night. I circled the belghbbhood a few times, looking for a place to park my car. Finally, I found one to the south of my house. It was behind a late-model Jeep. I tried to back into the space, but I failed to see the angles clearly. I heard it before I felt it, the sound of plastic on plastic, like a sheet of sandpaper along the surface of a painted piece of wood. I got out of my car to check the damage. My car was unharmed. However, there were two distinct lines on the Jeep.
Then I noticed a woman, walking her dog, who was now photographing me with her phone. “Hope you’re no planning to drive away,” she said quietly. Until then, I was annoyed with myself for having been careless, but now I was mad with her for taking my picture. How dare she, I thought. She had no respect for my privacy. And how dare she assume I would do the wrong thing But soon I calmed down because I knew she wasn’t entirely incorrect. I’d made no decision to drive away without leaving ante but I’d be lying if I said the idea hadn’t flashed across my mind. It was dark, and aside from her no one was watching. It happens all the time-the hit-and-run in the parking lot.
We all have those desires to behave selfishly, to go against the social contract; it is not the thought but what we do with it that counts. It is the commitment to take responsibility, to care for one another, and to think about the greater good that makes this world a better place to stay. The choice to own up was left to me. I left a note with my name and phone number under the wiper blade of the Jeep.

A. Admit. B. Occupy. C. Disappear. D. Refuse.
7. What does the author intend to tell us through his story
A. Everyone makes mistakes. B. Always do the right thing.

C
Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker’s(收废汽车者的)yard.
I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didn’t miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can’t. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive.
But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing — I now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport.
Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way.
I won’t buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another.
I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere.
Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions.
He points to research by the OECD’s International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.”
So in other words, just get rid of your car.
8. What do we know about the author’s car
A. It was old. B. It was green.
C. It was his first car. D. It was a second-hand car.
9. What do the author’s giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common
A. He did both for the wrong reasons. B. He thinks both help him save money.
C. He considers both are right decisions. D. He did both out of concern for the environment.
10. What does the author fear
A. He may have to spend more on travel.
B. His lifestyle might be changed completely.
C. He might get bored with public transportation.
D. His decision may fail to help the environment.
11. What does Charlie Wilson say
A. It is wise to do away with old private cars.
B. It is very easy to deal with old private cars.
C Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems.
D. The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing.
D
Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.
12. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B. To focus more on brand marketing.
C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers.
D. To build a bridge between consumers and government.
13. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean
A. Overstating B. Comparing C. Displaying D. Describing
14. How do live streamers create false prosperity
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible. B. By creating fake comments and shares.
C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms. D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming
A. Supportive B. Neutral C. Critical D. Doubtful

“Mom!” 11-year-old Mark cried to his mom, Cindy. “I don’t want to wear the sweater!”
“Please, honey, put it on! We’re already running late!” Cindy said as she packed their suitcases. “But Mom! It’s not even my size. Can I please get something else to Wear ”
“Don’t trouble your mom, Mark,” his dad, Luke, said. “We have to leave now.”
Cindy and Luke took out their suitcases and put them into the car. The family were taking a skiing trip to the mountains. Mark sat in the back seat, angry, because he hated the sweater!
It was a red sweater, a bit too big for him, and its sleeves were not even the same size. It was Mark’s birthday gift. Grandma Sandy promised him a video game, but gave him a sweater instead! Mark didn’t like it. He told Grandma by phone that he would never wear it. He didn’t know how hard it had been for her to make the sweater by hand.
Because it was snowing heavily, Luke drove slowly. By the time they arrived at the holiday center, it was late in the evening.
Mark was quite excited about going skiing for the first time. He asked his parents to let him go look around, and they agreed. Mark raced off to a nearby spot and Cindy kept an eye on him. When Luke removed their suitcases, Cindy helped him. Then she noticed Mark was nowhere to be seen.
Worried, Luke and Cindy tried to find him, but failed. They told the manager about the situation. He sent out a few staff members to help look for Mark.
Almost half an hour later, two of the staff observed a hand sticking out behind a tree. They discovered Mark, who was unconscious. He was brought to the hospital soon, but he didn’t wake up until a few hours later.
“It’s a good thing the boy was wearing a large sweater that kept most of his body covered and warm due to its large size. It was a typical case of hypothermia (体温过低),” the doctor said. “Do you remember what happened, Mark ” the doctor asked him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The little boy nodded and then told them the whole story.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mark now realized it was all due to his grandma that he was saved.

Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.
12. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B. To focus more on brand marketing.
C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers.
D. To build a bridge between consumers and government.
13. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean
A. Overstating B. Comparing C. Displaying D. Describing
14. How do live streamers create false prosperity
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible. B. By creating fake comments and shares.
C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms. D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming
A. Supportive B. Neutral C. Critical D. Doubtful
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了直播带货这一种电子商务和营销销售方式，并且说明了其优缺点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. (品牌不应将直播作为短期的销售助推器，而应将其作为消除品牌与消费者之间障碍的长期途径)”可知，作者建议各大品牌用直播来消除品牌和消费者之间的障碍。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however.(当然，直播也不是没有缺点)”再结合画线词上文“For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands”以及后文“the before-and-after effects of health products”可知，直播也存在缺点，所以对于电视广告，政府有明确规定，禁止品牌夸大健康产品的前后效果。故画线词意思是“夸大”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money.(通过购买虚假粉丝来增加分享和评论，一些直播者可以伪造自己的参与度，欺骗品牌和公司，以赢得更多信任，赚更多钱)”可知，直播主播通过创建虚假评论和分享制造虚假繁荣。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing.(直播消除了品牌和消费者之间的障碍。虽然直播专注于推动短期销售，但它可以通过将品牌营销和绩效营销结合起来，使企业提高营销效率)”以及倒数第二段中“Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however.(当然，直播也不是没有缺点)”可知，文章分别说明了直播带货的优点和缺点，没有提到作者对此的看法，故可推知，作者对直播的态度是中立的。故选B。

Have you ever got a lot done only to find that you were not any closer to your main objective (目标) What I’m talking about is spending too much of your time doing things you think are important but really aren’t.

The main key to becoming good at sales is to spend the majority of your time selling. ____16____ But what did I spend my time doing I organized my desk, filed papers, made contact sheets, set appointments with non-decision makers, learn more sales skills, etc. ____17____
____18____ The problem is that many people get into the habit of taking busy action, things that just keep you busy instead of bringing you closer to your goals.
____19____ First, you need to figure out the two or three things that are the most important to your achievement. Then, schedule out your time so that you are spending at least 70% of your time dealing with those things.

Being able to focus your actions on doing the few things that make the biggest impact on obtaining your end result is a skill. ____20____ Your goals will be achieved faster and your life will improve greatly.

【解析】

【16题详解】
根据上文“I remember doing a lot of little useless things in my days as a sales person. The main key to becoming good at sales is to spend the majority of your time selling.(我记得我做销售的时候做过很多没用的小事情。擅长销售的关键是把你的大部分时间花在销售上)”可知，上文说明了做销售的关键，本句应承接上文对此进行评价：这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情，并与下一句“But what did I spend my time doing ”（但我把时间花在了什么上呢？）形成转折，故B选项“这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“But what did I spend my time doing I organized my desk, filed papers, made contact sheets, set appointments with non-decision makers, learn more sales skills, etc.(但我把时间花在了什么上呢？我整理我的桌子，整理文件，制作联系表，与非决策者约定时间，学习更多的销售技巧，等等)”可知，作者并没有把大部分时间花在销售上，所以最后是失败。故E选项“不用说，我做销售失败了”符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后文“The problem is that many people get into the habit of taking busy action, things that just keep you busy instead of bringing you closer to your goals.(问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这些事情只会让你忙碌，而不是让你更接近你的目标)”可知，后文提到了问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这不会更接近目标，可知本句是在说明接近目标、取得成功的做法：采取行动。故G选项“你可能已经知道，成功的关键之一就是采取行动。”符合语境，故选G。
19题详解】
根据后文“First, you need to figure out the two or three things that are the most important to your achievement. Then, schedule out your time so that you are spending at least 70% of your time dealing with those things. Anything that isn’t part of those important things should be pushed to the end of the day or not be worked on at all if possible.(首先，你需要弄清楚对你的成就最重要的两到三件事。然后，安排好你的时间，这样你至少要花70%的时间来处理这些事情。任何与这些重要事情无关的事情都应该推到最后，或者如果可能的话就不要再做了)”可知，后文介绍了实现目标的具体步骤，故A选项“那么你该怎么做呢？”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Being able to focus your actions on doing the few things that make the biggest impact on obtaining your end result is a skill.(能够将你的行动集中在对你的最终结果产生最大影响的少数事情上是一种技能)”以及后文“Your goals will be achieved faster and your life will improve greatly. Continue wasting your time on doing a lot of things that don’t matter and you’ll probably be where you are now a year from today and that’s a regret you can do without.(你的目标会更快地实现，你的生活也会大大改善。继续浪费你的时间在那些无关紧要的事情上，你可能会在一年后的今天成为现在的样子，这是一个你可以不后悔的遗憾)”可知，上文提到了一项技能，推测本句承接上文说明这一技能的作用：一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。故F选项“一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人”符合语境，故选F。

45. to
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生理年龄高于实际年龄的人衰老的速度更快以及延缓衰老的几个关键因素。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们的身体可能比实际年龄更年轻，也可能比实际年龄更老，这取决于我们的饮食、生活方式和体育活动。Our bodies与depend之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作状语，故填depending。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这叫作生理年龄,不同于你驾照上的实际年龄。此处是非限定性定语从句，先行词为biological age，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，故填which。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态。句意同上。which 指代的是先行词the age on your driver's license，与call之间是被动关系，且为客观事实，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is called。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：最近的一项研究对900多名成年人进行了为期12年的跟踪调查，他们的年龄从26岁到38岁不等。研究显示，那些衰老速度更快的人，也就是他们的生理年龄高于实际年龄的人，健康状况或身体状况都不那么好。study表示“研究”时是可数名词，此处泛指“一项研究”，故填A。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故填showed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰形容词fit用副词，故填physically。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这组人也更有可能出现认知能力下降，并且患上与年龄有关的健康问题的风险更大。be likely to do表示“有可能……”，故填to have。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意同上。此处有一个隐晦的比较意义，是这组人与其他人的比较，故填greater。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：越来越多的研究证明，延缓衰老的关键是经常锻炼，保持忙碌的生活，保持健康的饮食这三者的结合。a combination of表示“……与……的结合”，故填combination。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：这三个关键因素可能有助于优雅地老去和延缓衰老。contribute to表示“有助于”，故填to。

47. 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。
“Mom!” 11-year-old Mark cried to his mom, Cindy. “I don’t want to wear the sweater!”
“Please, honey, put it on! We’re already running late!” Cindy said as she packed their suitcases. “But Mom! It’s not even my size. Can I please get something else to Wear ”
“Don’t trouble your mom, Mark,” his dad, Luke, said. “We have to leave now.”
Cindy and Luke took out their suitcases and put them into the car. The family were taking a skiing trip to the mountains. Mark sat in the back seat, angry, because he hated the sweater!
It was a red sweater, a bit too big for him, and its sleeves were not even the same size. It was Mark’s birthday gift. Grandma Sandy promised him a video game, but gave him a sweater instead! Mark didn’t like it. He told Grandma by phone that he would never wear it. He didn’t know how hard it had been for her to make the sweater by hand.
Because it was snowing heavily, Luke drove slowly. By the time they arrived at the holiday center, it was late in the evening.
Mark was quite excited about going skiing for the first time. He asked his parents to let him go look around, and they agreed. Mark raced off to a nearby spot and Cindy kept an eye on him. When Luke removed their suitcases, Cindy helped him. Then she noticed Mark was nowhere to be seen.
Worried, Luke and Cindy tried to find him, but failed. They told the manager about the situation. He sent out a few staff members to help look for Mark.
Almost half an hour later, two of the staff observed a hand sticking out behind a tree. They discovered Mark, who was unconscious. He was brought to the hospital soon, but he didn’t wake up until a few hours later.
“It’s a good thing the boy was wearing a large sweater that kept most of his body covered and warm due to its large size. It was a typical case of hypothermia (体温过低),” the doctor said. “Do you remember what happened, Mark ” the doctor asked him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The little boy nodded and then told them the whole story.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mark now realized it was all due to his grandma that he was saved.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The little boy nodded and then told them the whole story. At that time, he said he saw the snow and felt so excited, so he ran to play with snow immediately. He made a big snowball and tried to throw it far away. But suddenly he slipped and lost his balance, falling down on the ground, then he tried to call for help, but there was no response. He felt scared and cold, so he stayed where he was and pulled the oversized sweater over him waiting for rescue.
Mark now realized it was all due to his grandma that he was saved. He was wearing this oversized sweater, which kept him warm even though it was snowing and getting cold.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小男孩跟父母外出滑雪度假，开始时觉得毛衣太大，非常不喜欢，不情愿穿上它。小男孩独自外出游玩时滑倒，因此被困在寒冷的户外，于是把这件大号毛衣盖在自己身上，等待救援。后来作者被救之后，才得知，正是因为这件他不喜欢的大号毛衣，才使得他没有被冻死。这时他意识到，这不仅仅是一件毛衣，还包含这奶奶对他的爱。因此心里充满了感恩的故事。

①由第一段句首内容“小男孩点点头并告诉了他们整个故事”可知，第一段描述小男孩讲述自己被救之前发生的事情经过。
