A
At the time of year when the sun's daily appearance is often short-lived, the following warm places in Washington State are your first choice.
Alderbrook Resort & Spa
Less than a two-hour drive from Seattle, located on the edge of the Hood Canal, a nature-filled retreat (幽静之地) is waving.Seals slide along the waters of the Alderbrook dock (码头), playing a game of “Go Fish” with dive-bombing seagulls.As you sit on the shaking dock just minutes after arrival, you are already in a quieter world.
Suncadia Resort
A mountain escape waits just over the pass on 1-90, about 80 miles east of Seattle.The resort's annual Winterfest lasts through January 2nd, full of holiday celebrations and winter recreations, from cross-county skiing and snow mobile tours to ice skating and snowshoe tours.
Willows Lodge
Twenty miles from Seattle, this luxury inn is nestled into the centre of Woodinville Wine Country.Situated on five landscaped acres that border the Sammamish River, the Northwest-style lodge is within walking distance of more than 35 tasting rooms.When you step into the lodge, a fire crackles and hot apple rolls welcome your arrival with a celebratory air.
Seattle-area Retreats
Salish Lodge & Spa is a scenic 30-minute drive from Seattle, bringing you to a lodge integrating Old World atmosphere and modern elegance.Get out to enjoy the surrounding nature, whether hiking near the rushing 270-foot-tall Snoqualmie Falls or trying activities like fly fishing and snowshoeing.Head to North Bend for a slice of Twede's Café strawberry pie.

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children, so he didn't know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 39 degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. When I asked him how he felt, he simply replied “OK”. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 39 degree fever, so he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it, so he didn't know. He just made it.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者的儿子Joey生来双脚畸形，经过治疗，医生认为他像常人一样跑步的可能性微乎其微。然而，他一直不知道自己的病情，经过不断努力，他最终恢复到了正常状态。
4．According to the passage, we can describe Joey as a(n) ________ person.
A．ambitious B．determined
C．independent D．courageous
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据文章内容尤其是第四段第一句可推知，Joey是一个有决心的人。故选B。
5．The author repeats the sentence “so he didn't know” in order to ________.
A．criticize the ignorance of Joey
B．impress the readers with Joey's optimism
C．show the over protection of Joey's parents
D．emphasize the unlimited potential of human beings
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句、第三段最后一句、第四段最后一句及最后一段最后两句可知，Joey做到了那些他不能做的事情。由此可推知，作者重复这句话是为了强调人的无限潜能。故选D。
6．Which of the following proverbs is best conveyed in the story
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Rome was not built in a day.
C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D．The longest journey begins with the first step.
解析：选C 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要叙述了作者的儿子Joey生来双脚畸形，经过治疗，医生认为他像常人一样跑步的可能性微乎其微。然而，他一直不知道自己的病情，经过努力，他恢复到了正常状态。由此可推知，本文传达了“功夫不负有心人”的精神。故选C。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Research shows that we spend one-third to one-half of our waking life not living in the present. __7__ Our brains transport us to past events, imagined future scenes and other internal thoughts.
This allows for introspection (内省) — the space to imagine, remember, reflect and then use these fantasies to solve problems and innovate.But introspection can sometimes lead to more harm than good. __8__ When we focus inward to work through our problems, we may find that doing so causes us to feel worse.Negative thought cycles like this can make our capacity for introspection feel more like a curse than a blessing.
The fact that introspection is both a helpful tool and destructive force is a great contradiction of the human mind.Fortunately, science has begun to explain why this happens, and how to control it.
__9__ This motivates our emotions to a degree of rejecting alternative ways of thinking about the issue that might cool us down.In other words, we lose insight.One natural solution to this problem is to zoom out — to “step back” from your problems so that you can think about them more objectively. __10__ However, not just any conversation will do.The key is to focus on talking to people who not only allow you to express your emotions but also help broaden your horizons.
Introspection is central to the makeup of the human mind.The challenge is to minimize the negative effect while we achieve its potential. __11__
A．But it can be wonderful to live in the past.
B．We naturally separate from the here and now.
C．It might contribute to anxiety and depression.
D．Another way to gain insight is to talk to others.
E．Regulating negative emotions also helps to reason wisely.
F．Negative thought cycles occur when we zoom in too close to our problems.
G．Being aware of how our minds work can help us make the best of introspection.
7．选B 根据上文可知，研究表明，我们醒着的时候，有三分之一到一半的时间都不是活在当下，根据下文可知，我们的大脑把我们带到过去的事件，想象的未来场景和其他内在的想法。故B项“我们总是与此时此地的事物相分离。”，符合语境。
8．选C 根据语境可知，空处承接上文进一步解释说明自省带来的弊端，故C项符合语境。
9．选F 根据下文的“This motivates ...more objectively.”可知，空处应该与消极的内容相关。F项中的“zoom in”与该段中的“zoom out”对应，且空后的“This”指代F项的内容。故F项符合语境。
10．选D 根据下文可知，然而，并不是任何谈话都可以。关键是要专注于与那些不仅能让你表达情感，而且还能开阔你视野的人交谈。据此可知，空处内容应与和人交谈有关。D项中的“talk to others”与空后的“conversation”对应。故D项符合语境。
11．选G 根据上文可知，自省是构成人类心灵的核心。我们面临的挑战是在发挥其潜力的同时尽量减少其负面影响；据此可以推知，此处会说明如何利用自省，故G项“了解大脑如何工作能够帮助我们充分利用自省。”符合语境。PAGE

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A car weighing only a few hundred pounds can travel 500 miles per hour, repair itself and cost less than other cars.It might be hard to imagine such a car, let alone a spaceship.But NASA is trying to make a spaceship that is much better than other ships.The spacecraft has to be as light as it can be.Weight costs money! A new discovery might allow a spacecraft to be lighter.A new material called a “carbon nanotube (碳纳米管)” might be the answer to the weight problem of building a super spaceship.This material is 600 times stronger than steel.
One of the big problems with space travel is space radiation.In space, astronauts need protection against harmful rays.You might think that the metal on a spaceship is the answer.But, metals are the worst for protecting against very dangerous space rays.These rays are made of little pieces called ions (离子)．When the ions hit metals at very high speed, they can break an atom and cause another type of ray to form.These new rays can be worse than the radiation the metal skins were supposed to stop.Thus, it is very important to block these rays.
But we could use carbon nanotubes to make the skins of the spacecraft.Things that are light in weight seem to work the best against these ions.The rays are stopped outside the spacecraft and new rays aren't made.
In addition, our super spaceship needs to be able to repair itself.Humans can feel the smallest prods (刺) because of tiny sensors that send signals to our brains.Tiny sensors like ours could be built in the new ships.Each sensor could send messages to the computer “brain” of the spacecraft.If something needed to be fixed, the computer could tell the ship to do it.
Just as amazing as a car would be to someone 200 years ago, our nanotube spaceship might seem to us.We might actually make the spacecraft of tomorrow, using the technology of today.

1．a 考查冠词。句中breakthrough意为“突破，重大进展”，为可数名词，在句中泛指一个突破，故应用不定冠词修饰；breakthrough的发音以辅音音素开头，故应用不定冠词a。
2．Compared 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子主语Jiuzhang与compare之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用compare的过去分词compared在句中作状语，句首单词首字母大写。
3．is handled 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句中Usually可知，句子表示的是经常性的动作，应用一般现在时；句子主语information与handle之间为被动关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态；information为不可数名词，故填is handled。
4．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为qubits，指物，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which引导。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
5．increases 考查时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，句子陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；句中the number of意为“……的数量”，后接名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数，故填increases。
6．easier 考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知，句子是在介绍“九章”的优点，是在把“九章”和其他计算机进行比较，“更”容易制作和维护，故应用比较级形式。
7．to ensure 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，“确保其材料能够在没有任何电阻的情况下导电”是“超导量子计算机必须保持在超低温下”的目的，故应用动词不定式作目的状语。
8．over 考查介词。根据句意可知，句子表示的是“量子计算机的优势超过传统计算机”，故空格处应用over，意为“多于，超过”， advantages over意为“优于……”。
9．applications 考查名词复数。分析句子可知，句中a wide range of ...意为“广泛的……”，后接可数名词复数，故应填applications。
10．potentially 考查副词。句中be applied to ...意为“应用于……”，为动词短语，前面应用副词修饰，故应用其副词形式potentially。PAGE

Being taken off the endangered species list doesn't guarantee a carefree future for whales.Recent research estimates that the population of Pacific gray whales off North America's West Coast has dwindled by almost a quarter since 2016.Starting in 2019, alarming numbers of dead gray whales were spotted on beaches and floating offshore throughout their habitat, from Mexico to Alaska.The National Marine Fisheries Service defined it as an “Unusual Mortality Event (UME)”．UMEs are declared when a “significant die-off” occurs and when information is collected to clarify why it occurs.
The Arctic has had historically low levels of sea ice in recent years, upending the delicate ecosystem that sustains gray whales.Like other migrants, they don't feed on their winter breeding grounds (繁殖地) or along their migration, and must gain weight during the summer to sustain themselves through the rest of the year.Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition, which suggested they were not finding enough food during the summer.
This die-off is alarmingly similar to the events of 20 years ago, when another UME resulted in a significant drop in the gray whale population.Although the cause was ultimately undetermined, it was thought that the population reached “carrying capacity” — it grew too large for the environment to support it.Although that idea has been suggested for this die-off as well, it's more likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic.
Gray whales, hunted almost to extinction by the mid-20th century, were one of the first to be protected from hunting.The eastern North Pacific population rebounded without pressure from whaling and was taken off the endangered species list; the western North Pacific population is still listed as endangered.This die-off is a reminder that “delisting” doesn't indicate a population's secure future.New threats arise，climate change upends habitats, and continued monitoring is needed in case a crash comes.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了灰鲸从濒危物种名单上除名并不能保证其在未来的发展中可以无忧无虑。
1．What does the underlined word “dwindled” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Increased. B．Bounced.
C．Multiplied. D．Dropped.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Starting in 2019 ...Mexico to Alaska.”可知，从2019年开始，从墨西哥到阿拉斯加，人们在海滩上和海上发现了数量惊人的死灰鲸。据此可知，画线词所在句说的是灰鲸数量的减少。
2．What will gray whales usually do in winter
A．Consume few calories.
B．Travel south to breed.
C．March back to Alaska.
D．Seek food in the Arctic.
解析：选B 推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“Like other migrants ...through the rest of the year.”可知，和其他迁徙者一样，它们不在冬季繁殖地或迁徙路线中进食，必须在夏季增加体重，以维持一年余下的时间。根据第二段中的“Observers using air ...in poor condition”可知，使用空中摄影的观察人员注意到，这些鲸看起来更瘦了，且抵达墨西哥时身体状况很差。据此可推断出，灰鲸在冬天通常会南下到墨西哥繁殖。
3．What might be the main cause of the current UME
A．Serious illnesses.
B．Sea pollution.
C．Environmental changes.
D．Limited carrying capacity.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Although that idea ...of the Arctic.”可知，虽然这种观点也被认为是相继死去的原因，但它更有可能被归咎于北极环境的变化。据此可知，当前UME的主要原因更可能是环境的变化。
4．What's the author's attitude to the “delisting”？
A．Favourable. B．Concerned.
C．Intolerant. D．Regretful.
解析：选B 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“This die-off is ... population's secure future.”可知，这次相继死去提醒人们，“除名”并不意味着一个种群的未来就安全了。据此可知，作者对“除名”的态度是担忧的。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on __1__ (sun) weekends and see rubbish bags lying on the sand, cigarette butts (烟头) __2__ (bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.
One thing that really annoys me is that I see __3__ (tour) who visit Hawaii leave their rubbish on the beaches. I was always taught after drinking soda to throw the can into the place __4__ it should stay — the trash can. Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish __5__ pretend that it's not there.
The dogs or the fish are not to blame __6__ it. It's our fault and we must blame __7__ (we). Everyone has to do his or her part __8__ (solve) this problem. It can't be difficult to do the job. There are a lot of things that we can do. First of all, we can help pick up rubbish along the beaches. We could also form organizations that help clean up our beaches. More __9__ (important), we need to start now before the beaches __10__ (damage) beyond repair.
语篇解读：本文主要讨论了海滩污染的问题。
1．sunny 考查形容词。修饰名词一般用形容词，故用形容词sunny修饰其后的名词weekends。
2．buried 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，bury和其逻辑主语cigarette butts构成动宾关系，故用其过去分词形式作宾语补足语。
3．tourists 考查名词。结合定语从句的关系词who可知，此处的先行词为表示人的名词，且定语从句中的谓语动词为复数，故用名词复数形式。
4．where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词the place，故填where。
5．but 考查连词。根据语境可知，空处前后存在逻辑上的转折关系，故用连词but。
6．for 考查介词。此处考查固定词组be to blame for sth.“对某事负有责任”，故用介词for。
7．ourselves 考查代词。与句子主语we呼应，此处应用反身代词ourselves作动词blame的宾语。
8．to solve 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式，表示目的。
9．importantly 考查副词。副词一般修饰形容词、副词、动词，甚至整个句子，在句子中作状语。此处修饰整个句子，故用副词importantly。
10．are damaged 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，damage和主语the beaches之间是被动关系，根据该句中的“need”可知，此处叙述一般的情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态。
Ⅲ.短文改错
This morning I happened to meet a foreigner when I was taking walk in the park. It was a good chance for me to practise my spoken English, but I went up to him, introduced himself in English and expressed my wish to have a talk with him. In my surprise, he just stared at me, looking puzzling. I thought I had not made myself understand, so I repeated again what I had said. But he just said anything that I didn't understand. I suddenly realize he was not an English speaker! Not all foreigner speak English.
答案：
第一句：taking后加a
第二句：but→so; himself→myself
第三句：In→To; puzzling→puzzled
第四句：understand→understood; 去掉again
第五句：anything→something
第六句：realize→realized
第七句：foreigner→foreigners

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's long-standing problems: garbage and poverty.It's called The Chip Bag Project.The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favour of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay's, to other favourites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether it's single-serve or family-size.The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around，” Oleita told The Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, The Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, it has created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers.“We are committed to making an impact not only socially, but also environmentally，” she said.
And, of course, there's the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.As Oleita told www., “I think it's time to show connections between these issues.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了26岁的Eradajere Oleita利用回收的炸薯片袋为无家可归人士制作睡袋的事迹。

A．To make donations for the homeless.
B．To deal with garbage and sleeping bags.
C．To stop pollution caused by snack lovers.
D．To protect the environment and reduce poverty.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“she may have ... called The Chip Bag Project”可以推断出， The Chip Bag Project旨在保护环境并减少贫困。
2．How does Oleita get materials for sleeping bags

C．By purchasing snacks.

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“asking a favour of local snack lovers ... sleeping bags”可知， Oleita通过求助爱吃炸薯片的人把空的炸薯片袋捐给他们来获得制作睡袋的原材料。
3．Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “salvaging” in the last paragraph
A．Sewing. B．Designing.
C．Emptying. D．Recycling.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash”可知， 如果不这么做这些袋子会被丢入垃圾堆里。因此，画线词的意思应该与“被丢弃”相反，故D项“回收利用”与画线词意义接近。
4．Which of the following best describes Eradajere Oleita
A．Devoted and creative.
B．Determined and honest.
C．Ambitious and humorous.
D．Caring and independent.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Oleita把炸薯片袋回收制成睡袋，这说明Oleita非常有创造力；再根据第三段中的“We are committed to making an impact”可以看出， Oleita是一个专注的人。

1．was reported 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“in January”可知，用一般过去时；名词story与report之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态；主语story为单数，谓语动词用单数形式。故填 was reported。
2．operator 考查名词。根据不定冠词a可知，空处用名词的单数形式，且“Remila was a radar and ...”表示Remila是……的职业人，故填operator。
3．So 考查固定句型。在“so ...that ...(如此……以至于……)”结构中，若将“so＋adj./adv.”置于句首，其后的主句要用部分倒装。故填So。
4．qualified 考查形容词。系动词became后接形容词作表语。故填qualified。
5．what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指物，故用what。
6．getting 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作介词after的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填getting。
7．firmer 考查形容词比较级。分析句子结构可知，此处是“the＋比较级，the＋比较级”结构，意为“越……，就越……”。故填firmer。
8．into 考查介词。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配“put ...into practice”，意为“把……付诸实践”。故填into。
9．fifth 考查序数词。此处表示“第五个春节”，所以用序数词。故填fifth。
10．am 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，and连接两个并列成分，空处的时态应与love保持一致，故用一般现在时。主语为I，故填am。PAGE

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's long-standing problems: garbage and poverty.It's called The Chip Bag Project.The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favour of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay's, to other favourites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether it's single-serve or family-size.The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around，” Oleita told The Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, The Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, it has created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers.“We are committed to making an impact not only socially, but also environmentally，” she said.
And, of course, there's the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.As Oleita told www., “I think it's time to show connections between these issues.”

A．To make donations for the homeless.

B．By producing chip bags.
C．By purchasing snacks.
D．By cooperating with the poor.

You probably don't like the term “staycation”. Me neither. The terms holistay, daycation and nearcation are also sometimes used. But you can't ignore them. As a concept, it is quite attractive. Perhaps you've already had one, but weren't aware that's what it is called. Staycations don't just mean staying in doing things around the house or just relaxing at home. They are related to getting out more by taking day trips from your home to see local sights. If you don't want to stay at home, you can holiday locally — for example, camping at a local campground.
Staycations originally became popular after the 2008 financial crisis, when people were looking for ways to reduce their spending. Apart from the savings, let's not ignore the other benefits: you don't have any of the problems associated with travel, such as packing, long drives, delays at airports and so on.
Some staycationers who base themselves at home like to follow a set of rules, such as setting the start and end date, planning their activities ahead of time and avoiding routine. You don't have to do so, but it helps to create the feel of a traditional vacation. Others, who are aware that an extra barbecue or a visit to the local zoo may not match the thrill of foreign travel, take it a step further.
A New Yorker, Karen Ash, decided not to go to Japan, as she had planned, but instead took a week-long Japanese vacation in her own city. This included buying postcards and souvenirs at a Japanese market, admiring bonsai plants, attending a taiko drumming concert and watching Japanese soap operas on DVD. I don't think many people would want to take this much trouble to create their staycation, but you get the idea!
1．Which aspect of staycations is mainly talked about in the first paragraph
A．Its real meaning. B．Its another name.
C．Its popularity. D．Its benefit.
解析：选A 段落大意题。根据第一段中的“As a concept, it is quite attractive ... camping at a local campground”可知，作者主要在讲“宅度假”的真正含义：不一定指待在家里度假，也可以指在当地旅游。
2．Why did people begin to take staycations
A．To promote local tourism.
B．To keep pace with the times.
C．To cut back on their expenses.
D．To avoid trouble related to travel.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，2008年金融危机后，“宅度假”兴起，当时人们为了节约开支而选择了这种度假方式。
3．What's the author's attitude to staycationers' following some rules
A．Disapproving. B．Ambiguous.
C．Cautious. D．Favorable.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，有些在家度假的人喜欢遵循一套做法，比如定好假期起止日期、提前做计划、避免安排常规活动等，作者认为这些事情不是必须做的，但是这样有助于创造一种传统假期的氛围。由此推知，作者对这种做法是赞成的。
4．What does Karen Ash's experience show
A．How to experience Japanese culture.
B．How to prepare for a foreign journey.
C．How to make the most of vacations.
D．How to enjoy a foreign travel at home.
解析：选D 推理判断题。在最后一段中，作者举了Karen Ash的例子。作者在最后一段的最后一句谈到虽然很多人不会像Karen Ash那样费事地“宅度假”，但是通过她的经历，你已经有主意了。由此可推知，Karen Ash的经历说明了怎样不出国门就可以享受到国外旅游的乐趣，由此可知应选D。
B
There's a childlike joy that comes with ordering something online — whether it be clothes or kitchen stuff.We sit anxiously refreshing the postal service or express pages to see when our items will arrive, and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious.
According to Owen O'Kane, a psychologist and writer, even the smallest positive future events can motivate us when we're feeling down — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been filled with unexpected disappointments.Waiting for a parcel may not just represent an imagined positive future where you can control your needs for a book or a toaster or a shirt, making life feel more manageable, but can also serve as a temporary distraction (分心的事物) from the boring life because it gives you something new to wake up to and get excited about.
However, people _went_into_a_frenzy when the postal service announced that its mail delivery would become permanently slower.And then, many became worried about whether their items would arrive on time, appear in a broken state, or simply not live up to their expectations.A delayed package may seem insignificant to some.But for others, getting their hopes up only for them to be thwarted (挫败) can cause anxiety and anger.O'Kane says these reactions are natural, but they are telling about more deep-rooted internal issues in our lives that go beyond the delayed package.It's really symbolic of something bigger, psychologically, of the need to control and the need for everything to be perfect.
It's important to practice self-care and treat yourself with occasional gifts.However, experts caution that comfort shopping is only a temporary fix, which only helps you escape problems temporarily.“Shopping for and receiving an item is stimulating on some level, and also the most passive way to live，” O'Kane adds.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了专家认为网购只会带来短暂的慰藉，人们仍需积极地面对生活并采取行动从而解决问题。
5．Why do we look forward to receiving packages based on the first two paragraphs
A．It makes life easy to manage.
B．It gives us something positive to expect.
C．It distracts us from a better life.
D．It helps us avoid unexpected disappointments.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to see when ...hopeful and anxious”和第二段中的“because it ... get excited about”可知，人们之所以期待收到包裹是因为有积极的东西可以期待。
6．What does the underlined phrase “went into a frenzy” probably mean
A．Canceled their orders.
B．Stood still to call for their parcels.
C．Got into a state of craziness.
D．Ran into a postal service company.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据本段中的“many became worried about whether their items ...can cause anxiety and anger”可知，延迟送货会让人抓狂，故C项与画线部分的意思最为接近。
7．What is O'Kane's attitude toward people's reactions to the delayed package
A．Concerned. B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic. D．Positive.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“O'Kane says these ... the delayed package.”可以看出，面对人们对待延迟送货的反应，O'Kane表示很担心。
8．What exactly does the writer want to say in the last paragraph
A．Find hope in your comfort shopping.
B．Never order and track something online.
C．Go shopping for and receiving items occasionally.
D．Live actively and take action to solve problems for good.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“comfort shopping is only ...‘Shopping for and receiving an item is ...the most passive way to live’”可知，购物只能帮人短暂地逃避问题，是一种最消极的生活方式，据此可以推测，作者呼吁人们要积极生活，采取行动解决问题。
