阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Pickled sides are Chinese people’s solution to tasteless food. Just a spoonful of sauce or pickled vegetables over rice can make a meal taste a million times better.
During busy work schedules, many young people in China don’t have the luxury of enjoying insightful conversations with friends and family at the dinner table. Instead, they find themselves eating alone.
Chinese youth are kept company during these 20-to-30-minute windows by TV shows or short videos, which they stream on their phone, tablet, or television. On the Internet, such content has been called “digital pickled vegetables”.
Some popular picks include classic Chinese dramas and situation comedies (sitcoms) like Empresses in the Palace and My Own Swordsman. American sitcoms such as Friends and How I Met Your Mother are also favored for their amusing jokes and simple story lines. You don’t need to know anything about either to get a good laugh from a random episode.
Some have questioned the value of such videos, pointing out that some explainers ruin good films and books and that no-brainer mini-series aren’t informational. On the other hand, we see nothing wrong with some harmless fun to accompany a lonely meal after a long day of work. Instead of being accompanied by friends and family during meal my young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos.
Can this habit affect your diet According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more unconsciously. An international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction (分心). After analyzing their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased intake of calories by about 15 percent.
To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to a recording about another person eating and the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they were more focused on their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
21．Why do many Chinese young people eat alone
A．They hate to share food with workmates. B．They fail to have the luxury of dining space.
C．They tend to have busy work timetables. D．They prefer not to talk with strangers.
22．What do the underlined words “digital pickled vegetables” mean in paragraph 3
A．Videos you watch while eating. B．Sauce you choose while eating.
C．Vegetables you like while eating. D．Games you play while eating.
23．Why do we eat more with “digital pickles”
A．They increase our feeling of hunger. B．They make the food more delicious.
C．They draw our attention to the diet. D．They shift our attention from the meals.
B
The way students spend their weekends can vary. Once you get to college, students see the weekend to forget about everything. Most of the time it is going out with friends, but when you decide to turn that down, you are looked at to be lame. What's up with this
In college, going out can seem like the main thing that happens during the weekend. But not everyone is into that —some students study or stay in with friends, and others simply just don’t go out because it is not their type of thing. If you are one of those people who decides to stay in, you probably know the feeling of being the “lame friend”.
When students feel this way, they can also feel pressured into doing something that they originally did not want to do. Just because a person does not want to go out and party and drink does not mean that they are lame—they just have a different idea of a fun weekend.
I don’t think we should assume that everyone needs to go out during the weekend in order to have fun, and the social pressure to do so can feel broken. I will speak from my own experience: When the weekend comes around, I overthink and start to get a rush of anxiety. Why Because I might be judged for not going out, or I might miss something if I don’t go to this specific party that everyone is going to. I’m sure there are others that feel the same way and have had similar experiences, and they don’t deserve to feel the way I do either.
We should keep in mind that individuals are going through their own personal situations, and everyone has their own reasons for not going out. Staying in and watching a movie by yourself or with friends is not a bad thing, and people should normalize that not going out on the weekends is really not the worst thing.
24．Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1
A．To doubt students’behaviour. B．To correct schools’ management.
C．To blame friends’ rejection. D．To deny others’ judgement.
25．What is the lame friend probably like according to the text
A．The one without friends. B．The one with serious anxiety.
C．The one with less outside activities. D．The one with the deadly leg disability.
26．What does the author suggest students do in the text
A．How to spend weekends is up to you.
B．Study should be put first in college.
C．Going to the party everyone is going to is a must.
D．What to do at weekends is well worth considering.
27．What can we conclude from the text
A．A good friend is my nearest relation. B．Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
C．A man cannot be judged by his appearance. D．Interest is the seed, the action are the fruits.
C
It was 1994, and I was a 19-year-old student in my third year at Western University in London, Ontario. I had signed up for a course in the Department of English taught by one Donald S. Hair.
A few weeks into the class, the professor administered our first test. I didn't think I had anything to worry about—until he handed my exam back the following week with a 67 written on it in red ink.
Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy. My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs What was the old boy's problem, anyway
But the real problem was this: He was right. I knew it as soon as I'd cooled off and taken the time to digest his comments. My writing was careless, my understanding of key concepts shallow. Like many of my partners, I was used to earning top grades. Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we actually “earning” them
The next day, I went to his office. With burning cheeks, I told him I knew I’d butchered the exam. To my childish surprise, he wasn’t a “weirdo” in the least. He was funny, warm and uncommonly patient. He assured me if I worked hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’d be available to help me.
I went away, read and read some more. The more I read, the more interesting his classes became, and soon, his complex, absorbing lectures were the highlight of my week. I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade. Nearly 30 years later, I'm still proud of that.
28．What does the underlined word “jeopardy” mean in paragraph 3
A．Advance. B．Demand. C．Trouble. D．Conclusion.
29．Why does the author mention the seatmate in the text
A．To explain the test was too difficult.
B．To prove the professor's grading had problems.
C．To suggest she didn't work hard.
D．To show she was unfriendly in class.
30．How does the author feel about the professor in the end
A．Disgusted. B．Cautious. C．Uninterested. D．Appreciative.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．You have to earn a grade instead of “get” it B．Be confident and not afraid of failure
C．You should treasure a good teacher D．Never rely on scholarships forever
D
Common phrases like “no pains, no gains” give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It’s almost as though the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear.
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another strategy, all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that engage us, rather than make us switch off.
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying. This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work, you obsess about (唠叨)how unfair it is that you must study. When you feel bitter about your work it’s very difficult to make yourself start, or approach it with enthusiasm. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps you into ineffective revision, your poor progress fuelling further bitterness. Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it’s perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions.
It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle (懒散的) company. Studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. People who are bored and looking to be distracted, however, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. It’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people engaged in activities that you would rather be doing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.
When you’re studying for a big exam, it seems like your whole life is taken up with study. Being in the same room with friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation (孤立). Also connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
32．What is the author’s attitude to the saying “no pains, no gains”
A．Serious. B．Positive C．Negative D．Uncaring.
33．What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment
A．Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
B．Give up others’ company at once.
C．Think twice before taking any action.
D．Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Ways to deal with distractions.
B．How to choose a perfect place to study.
C．Learning problems students are faced with.
D．How to focus mind on study.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To encourage students to work hard.
B．To introduce effective learning strategies
C．To remind students to balance study and play.
D．To advise students study in the company of others.

Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists. 36 Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. Here are four steps you can take to prepare yourself in advance.
Drop, cover and hold
If you feel the ground start to shake, drop, take cover under as table piece of furniture, and hold on. You can hide under something like a desk or table, with one arm holding on to a leg of the table and your other arm protecting your neck and head. 37 In modern homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury.
Make a family plan
38 Create a meeting point—somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. Whatever plan you decide on, don’t rely on your phone as your main form of communication. Technology fails all the time in disasters. A major earthquake in California, for example, damaged cell towers and knocked out communication services for days.
Secure your furniture
Those hanging shelves above your bed could be a danger during an earthquake. People often get injured from “flying or falling objects” like furniture or glass during earthquakes. So examine your home and ask yourself, “What could be a potential danger to my safety ” 39
Make digital copies of important documents
Important documents may get destroyed during earthquakes. Therefore, scan or take photos of your important documents, such as your license, financial records and insurance policy information. 40 This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake.
A．Then send them to your e-mail.
B．These are all important personal documents.
C．Make sure your household has a plan of action.
D．Whatever you do, do not stand in a doorframe.
E．If you find the answer, you need to runaway immediately.
F．Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead.
G．If possible, remove those heavy and big objects above your bed immediately.

67．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。
Up in Lights
For some, putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Sara’s father, Anthony Pascucci, 60, woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn’t take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter (抵消) some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020, as in every other year, Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway. Sara’s brother, Anthony Jr. helped with the wiring, while Sara hung ornaments (装饰物) on the tree inside the house playing the song “White Christmas” over and over to keep everyone in the spirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve, the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree. Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams——a typical Italian feast. But most of all, they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However, Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn’t have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February, Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.
注意：1续写词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses.

67．But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. The lights were a sign of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still beauty and brightness to be found. Sara realized that her father’s tradition of putting up Christmas lights wasn’t just about making their own home festive, it was about spreading that joy and hope to others as well.
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses. And soon the whole street was aglow with colorful lights and decorations. Every evening, families would take walks around the neighborhood, admiring the festive displays and feeling a sense of community and togetherness. The Pascucci family’s tradition had taken on a life of its own, becoming a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of difficult times. And as the years went on, the lights continued to shine brightly, bringing joy and comfort to all who saw them.

A．To doubt students’behaviour. B．To correct schools’ management.
C．To blame friends’ rejection. D．To deny others’ judgement.

It was 1994, and I was a 19-year-old student in my third year at Western University in London, Ontario. I had signed up for a course in the Department of English taught by one Donald S. Hair.
A few weeks into the class, the professor administered our first test. I didn't think I had anything to worry about—until he handed my exam back the following week with a 67 written on it in red ink.
Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy. My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs What was the old boy's problem, anyway
But the real problem was this: He was right. I knew it as soon as I'd cooled off and taken the time to digest his comments. My writing was careless, my understanding of key concepts shallow. Like many of my partners, I was used to earning top grades. Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we actually “earning” them
The next day, I went to his office. With burning cheeks, I told him I knew I’d butchered the exam. To my childish surprise, he wasn’t a “weirdo” in the least. He was funny, warm and uncommonly patient. He assured me if I worked hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’d be available to help me.
I went away, read and read some more. The more I read, the more interesting his classes became, and soon, his complex, absorbing lectures were the highlight of my week. I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade. Nearly 30 years later, I'm still proud of that.
28．What does the underlined word “jeopardy” mean in paragraph 3
A．Advance. B．Demand. C．Trouble. D．Conclusion.
29．Why does the author mention the seatmate in the text
A．To explain the test was too difficult.
B．To prove the professor's grading had problems.
C．To suggest she didn't work hard.
D．To show she was unfriendly in class.
30．How does the author feel about the professor in the end
A．Disgusted. B．Cautious. C．Uninterested. D．Appreciative.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．You have to earn a grade instead of “get” it B．Be confident and not afraid of failure
C．You should treasure a good teacher D．Never rely on scholarships forever
D
Common phrases like “no pains, no gains” give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It’s almost as though the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear.
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another strategy, all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that engage us, rather than make us switch off.
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying. This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work, you obsess about (唠叨)how unfair it is that you must study. When you feel bitter about your work it’s very difficult to make yourself start, or approach it with enthusiasm. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps you into ineffective revision, your poor progress fuelling further bitterness. Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it’s perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions.
It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle (懒散的) company. Studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. People who are bored and looking to be distracted, however, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. It’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people engaged in activities that you would rather be doing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.
When you’re studying for a big exam, it seems like your whole life is taken up with study. Being in the same room with friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation (孤立). Also connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
32．What is the author’s attitude to the saying “no pains, no gains”
A．Serious. B．Positive C．Negative D．Uncaring.
33．What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment
A．Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
B．Give up others’ company at once.
C．Think twice before taking any action.
D．Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Ways to deal with distractions.
B．How to choose a perfect place to study.
C．Learning problems students are faced with.
D．How to focus mind on study.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To encourage students to work hard.
B．To introduce effective learning strategies
C．To remind students to balance study and play.
D．To advise students study in the company of others.

Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists. 36 Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. Here are four steps you can take to prepare yourself in advance.
Drop, cover and hold
If you feel the ground start to shake, drop, take cover under as table piece of furniture, and hold on. You can hide under something like a desk or table, with one arm holding on to a leg of the table and your other arm protecting your neck and head. 37 In modern homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury.
Make a family plan
38 Create a meeting point—somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. Whatever plan you decide on, don’t rely on your phone as your main form of communication. Technology fails all the time in disasters. A major earthquake in California, for example, damaged cell towers and knocked out communication services for days.
Secure your furniture
Those hanging shelves above your bed could be a danger during an earthquake. People often get injured from “flying or falling objects” like furniture or glass during earthquakes. So examine your home and ask yourself, “What could be a potential danger to my safety ” 39
Make digital copies of important documents
Important documents may get destroyed during earthquakes. Therefore, scan or take photos of your important documents, such as your license, financial records and insurance policy information. 40 This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake.
A．Then send them to your e-mail.
B．These are all important personal documents.
C．Make sure your household has a plan of action.
D．Whatever you do, do not stand in a doorframe.
E．If you find the answer, you need to runaway immediately.
F．Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead.
G．If possible, remove those heavy and big objects above your bed immediately.

67．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。
Up in Lights
For some, putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Sara’s father, Anthony Pascucci, 60, woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn’t take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter (抵消) some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020, as in every other year, Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway. Sara’s brother, Anthony Jr. helped with the wiring, while Sara hung ornaments (装饰物) on the tree inside the house playing the song “White Christmas” over and over to keep everyone in the spirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve, the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree. Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams——a typical Italian feast. But most of all, they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However, Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn’t have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February, Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.
注意：1续写词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy.

Paragraph 2:
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses.

67．But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. The lights were a sign of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still beauty and brightness to be found. Sara realized that her father’s tradition of putting up Christmas lights wasn’t just about making their own home festive, it was about spreading that joy and hope to others as well.
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses. And soon the whole street was aglow with colorful lights and decorations. Every evening, families would take walks around the neighborhood, admiring the festive displays and feeling a sense of community and togetherness. The Pascucci family’s tradition had taken on a life of its own, becoming a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of difficult times. And as the years went on, the lights continued to shine brightly, bringing joy and comfort to all who saw them.
