Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with drug problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often ran into trouble, he decided to do something about it. So he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day off.
Those fun trips had a lasting influence. A chance encounter later proved that. One day, while working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys quarreling. He sensed trouble between them. Suddenly one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug. “I remember you. You took me fishing when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the best days of my life.”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation (基金会) that introduces teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw where there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging influence on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he intended to present an alternative (可选择的) way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a bite ,” he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such conversations can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who participated in the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother avoid drugs.”
Moody faces retirement in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time. “I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my community to give back,” Moody says. “If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”
4. Why did Moody start to invite some kids to go fishing
A. Because he had his day off.
B. Because they were in the same community.
C. Because he wanted to help them get out of trouble.
D. Because he wanted to help them do their school projects.
5. What can we know about Moody’s foundation
A. It was created as two boys quarreled at a school basketball game.
B. It was inspired by the meeting with a boy who had fished with him.
C. It was created to teach teenagers how to deal with violence problems.
D. It was created to stop violence and drugs having a damaging influence on kids.
6. What can we infer from Michelle’s words
A. Both he and his little brother could benefit from the program.
B. Both he and his little brother learned how to fish in the program.
C. He could talk about drug problems with his little brother in the program.
D. Both he and his brother are drug users, who were helped by the program.

Going against the tide of flocking (蜂拥) to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences. Reverse Tourism has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often require pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays. “Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences,” said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly unwilling to follow the herd. Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days, which is a good way to vacation.
In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more genuine experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations, some under-explored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling Reverse Tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak.
“The rise of Reverse Tourism is not a bad thing,” said an opinion piece in Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market, the article explains. More importantly, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their achievements, it noted.
8. What is the feature of Reverse Tourism according to the passage
A. Less-traveled places offer less attractive sightseeing.
B. Popular destinations often raise their prices during holidays.
C. Popular destinations are not welcomed by people nowadays.
D. Less-traveled places are increasingly valued among young holidaymakers.
9. Which of the following statements cannot account for the rise of reverse tourism
A. Tourists spend less than usual.
B. It has already been commercialized
C. COVID-19 makes tourists more cautious.
D. Tourists can get a better sense of experience.
10. Why do people choose lesser-known attractions according to social media posts
A. To create surprises on their own. B. To escape the uncertainty in life.
C. To promote the local tourism. D. To explore the original beauty.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The promising future of Nature tourism.
B. The challenges popular tourist spots are facing.
C. The reason why people prefer Reverse Tourism.
D. The way to explore the lesser-known attractions.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more genuine experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts.(此外,根据社交媒体上的帖子,不太知名的景点不像发达景点那样“商业化”和“标准化”,能够提供更多的真实体验和自然接触。)”可知,根据社交媒体上的帖子的表述,人们选择不太知名的景点是因为它能让人们领略大自然的原始之美。故选D项。

Teen brains aged faster than normal from stress by at least three years, a study has found. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science, was the first to compare examinations of the physical structures of teenagers’ brains from before and after the stress started, and to document significant differences.
Researchers knew teens had higher levels of depression, anxiety and fearfulness than before the stress. But we knew nothing about the effects on their brains. The researchers found growth in brain areas that control access to some memories and help control fear, stress and other emotions.
Premature(过早) aging of kids’ brains isn’t a positive development. Their stressful childhood experiences not only make people easier to suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses, they can raise the risk of cancer, heart disease and other long-term negative outcomes.
The scientists tried to make out how the stress itself may have impacted the physical structure of the children’s brains and their mental health. They matched pairs of children with the same age, gender and stress. “That allowed us to compare 16-year olds before the stress with different 16-year olds assessed after the stress,” said Ian Gotlib, a psychology professor at Stanford University.
To determine the brain age of their samples, the researchers fed their brain examinations into a machine-learning model for predicting brain age developed by the ENIGMA-Brain Age working group, a co-operation among scientists who share their brain image data sets. They also evaluated mental health outcomes reported by the matched pairs. They found more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression and internalizing(内在化的) problems in the group that had experienced the stress.
Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, noted that many individuals experience post-traumatic(创伤后的) growth after a stressful experience. “This is a useful initial study,” agreed David Fassler, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont. “I expect the results will inform the design of future research initiatives.”
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Researchers had a good knowledge of aging. B. Stress greatly influenced teenagers’ brains.
C. Brain growth improved teenagers’ happiness. D. Bad memories resulted in negative emotions.
13. What enabled scientists to do research according to Ian Gotlib
A. The application of advanced technology. B. The accurate analysis of the data provided.
C. The participation of volunteer teenagers. D. The previous experience of the researchers.
14. Why was the machine-learning model developed
A. To satisfy the need of the market. B. To evaluate the brain age of samples.
C. To predict mental health outcomes. D. To solve internalizing problems.
15. What was David Fassler’s attitude to the study
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了发表在《生物精神病学:全球开放科学》杂志上的一项研究发现,由于压力,青少年的大脑比正常人衰老得快至少三年。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They matched pairs of children with the same age, gender and stress. ‘That allowed us to compare 16-year olds before the stress with different 16-year olds assessed after the stress,’ said Ian Gotlib, a psychology professor at Stanford University.(他们将年龄、性别和压力相同的孩子配对。斯坦福大学心理学教授伊恩·戈特利布(Ian Gotlib)说:“这让我们可以将承受压力前的16岁孩子与承受压力后的不同16岁孩子进行比较。”)”可知,根据伊恩·戈特利布,青少年志愿者的参与使科学家能够进行研究。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“To determine the brain age of their samples, the researchers fed their brain examinations into a machine-learning model for predicting brain age developed by the ENIGMA-Brain Age working group, a co-operation among scientists who share their brain image data sets. (为了确定样本的大脑年龄,研究人员将他们的大脑检查结果输入到一个机器学习模型中,该模型用于预测大脑年龄,该模型是由ENIGMA-Brain age工作组开发的,这是一个科学家之间的合作,他们共享他们的大脑图像数据集。)”可知,开发机器学习模型是为了评估样本的脑龄。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This is a useful initial study,’ agreed David Fassler, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont. ‘I expect the results will inform the design of future research initiatives.’(“这是一项有用的初步研究,”佛蒙特大学精神病学临床教授大卫·法斯勒(David Fassler)表示赞同。“我希望这些结果将为未来研究计划的设计提供信息。)”可知,大卫·法斯勒对这个研究是支持的。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了大熊猫花花非常受欢迎,五一假期期间吸引了许多游客来到成都大熊猫繁育基地,增加了门票销量,带动了熊猫经济。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据当地媒体报道,大熊猫花花吸引了26.4万名游客到成都大熊猫繁育研究基地,该基地是五一期间中国第二大热门旅游目的地。分析句子结构,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以应用which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:和花(小名花花)即将满三岁,因其温和的气质以及她罕见的不能爬树赢得了中国人的心。根据句中的时间状语soon可知,这里表示将来的事情,应用一般将来时。故填will be。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意参考上题。due to意“因为”,为固定短语。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她也不同于其他大熊猫,因为她有白色皮毛,而不是更常见的米色,以及微胖可爱的外表,使她具有很高的辨识度。这里应用形容词作表语。different意为“不同的”,be different from意为“与……不同”。故填different。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,本句是一个简单句,句子的谓语为is,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语her white fur和her slightly fat and cute appearance与make之间是主谓关系,所以应用现在分词的一般式,作后置定语。故填making。
41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:花花增加了门票销售量,今年五一假期前三天的18万张门票全部售罄。这里是with复合结构,所以空处应用非谓语动词作宾补。sell out既可作及物动词短语,也可作不及物动词短语,所以逻辑主语all 180,000 tickets和sell out之间可以是动宾关系,也可以使主谓关系,应用过去分词或现在分词的一般式作宾补。故填sold或selling。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:粉丝太多了,公园不得不把花花的观看时间限制在三分钟。so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:一位游客说:“我们这次旅行是专门为看花花的。”这里应用副词修饰后面的介词短语“for Hua Hua”,specially意为“专门地,特意”。故填specially。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他补充道:“我们计划在基地待一整天,只为了看大熊猫,甚至我们还计划明天继续来这里。”这里特指成都大熊猫繁育研究基地中的大熊猫,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:基地和成都其他地区商店里的头带、玩偶、书包和装饰环等与熊猫相关的纪念品已经变得很受欢迎。store“商店”为可数名词,这里指基地和成都其他地区的商店,应用复数形式。故填stores。

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。
Grady and his family go camping every summer. As it was becoming hotter, here came the camping time.
Having planned the camp long, the family finally decided the destination --- the Great National Forest. With food, necessity and cookers loaded onto the car, the family squeezed into the car. The car door closed, heat was shut outside.
In the car, Jared, Grady's younger brother was playing with a toy dinosaur, making great noise. Grady's mother talked excitedly with his father. On settling in the car, Grady put on the earphone and turned on the music. He neither wanted to join his brother nor joined any talk. After what seemed to be hours, the car stopped where they headed. Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the car door.
“This will be a lengthy week,“ he said unhappily to no one in particular. He looked around the campground. Hundreds of tall and green fir trees, some as tall as church towers, covered the mountainside like a green carpet. The sun would be setting soon. Grady thought maybe the heat wouldn't be unbearable. But actually now in the mountain, the hot stickiness of July was closely attached to him.
Grady hated camping, but it was something his family stuck to every summer. His father liked cooking over an open air, telling stories about how to survive things like bear attacks and bites of bees. His mother and Jared liked to hike and take pictures of animals. Jared had a collection of bug pictures that he had pinned to the walls in his half of their room. Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a strange kid.
They set up camp - two tents, one for his parents and one for himself and Jared. While everyone else started preparing dinner, Grady, looking for some place to cool down, set off for the nearby stream, which was deep enough to swim in.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub (幼崽)caught his eye.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Turning around, he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub caught his eye. Though Grady didn’t like animals, he couldn’t resist such a lovely bear cub measuring no more than two feet tall with a cute face. It was playing pretty joyfully at the edge of the stream. So absorbed was the bear cub in playing that it wasn’t aware that someone was approaching. Driven by curiosity, Grady walked on tiptoe, moving closer to have a look at it. Suddenly he heard a sound behind him.
Turning around, he saw an angry bear moving swiftly towards him. Shocked and dumb, Grady was rooted onto the ground for seconds, and then dashed to their camp desperately, shouting for help in the meantime. Fortunately, Grady’s father heard the shout in time to come to his assistance. To their surprise, realizing the danger was away, the furry giant stopped chasing and returned to the stream, picking up her baby, and holding it in arms tightly. In the distance, attracted by the noise, Jared and his mother were trying to take a photo of the bear cub and its mother.

Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with drug problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often ran into trouble, he decided to do something about it. So he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day off.
Those fun trips had a lasting influence. A chance encounter later proved that. One day, while working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys quarreling. He sensed trouble between them. Suddenly one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug. “I remember you. You took me fishing when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the best days of my life.”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation (基金会) that introduces teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw where there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging influence on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he intended to present an alternative (可选择的) way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a bite ,” he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such conversations can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who participated in the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother avoid drugs.”
Moody faces retirement in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time. “I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my community to give back,” Moody says. “If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”
4. Why did Moody start to invite some kids to go fishing
A. Because he had his day off.
B. Because they were in the same community.
C. Because he wanted to help them get out of trouble.
D. Because he wanted to help them do their school projects.
5 What can we know about Moody’s foundation
A. It was created as two boys quarreled at a school basketball game.
B. It was inspired by the meeting with a boy who had fished with him.
C. It was created to teach teenagers how to deal with violence problems.
D. It was created to stop violence and drugs having a damaging influence on kids.
6. What can we infer from Michelle’s words
A. Both he and his little brother could benefit from the program.
B. Both he and his little brother learned how to fish in the program.
C. He could talk about drug problems with his little brother in the program.
D. Both he and his brother are drug users, who were helped by the program.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. The positive impact of fishing on kids.
B. The damaging influences of drugs on kids.
C. A police officer’s connection with some kids in school.
D. The creation of a foundation devoted to introducing kids to fishing.

Going against the tide of flocking (蜂拥) to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences. Reverse Tourism has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often require pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays. “Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences,” said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly unwilling to follow the herd. Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days, which is a good way to vacation.
In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more genuine experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations, some under-explored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling Reverse Tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak.
“The rise of Reverse Tourism is not a bad thing,” said an opinion piece in Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market, the article explains. More importantly, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their achievements, it noted.
8. What is the feature of Reverse Tourism according to the passage
A. Less-traveled places offer less attractive sightseeing.
B. Popular destinations often raise their prices during holidays.
C. Popular destinations are not welcomed by people nowadays.
D. Less-traveled places are increasingly valued among young holidaymakers.
9. Which of the following statements cannot account for the rise of reverse tourism
A. Tourists spend less than usual.
B. It has already been commercialized
C. COVID-19 makes tourists more cautious.
D. Tourists can get a better sense of experience.
10. Why do people choose lesser-known attractions according to social media posts
A. To create surprises on their own. B. To escape the uncertainty in life.
C. To promote the local tourism. D. To explore the original beauty.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The promising future of Nature tourism.
B. The challenges popular tourist spots are facing.
C. The reason why people prefer Reverse Tourism.
D. The way to explore the lesser-known attractions.
D
Teen brains aged faster than normal from stress by at least three years, a study has found. The study, published in Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science, was the first to compare examinations of the physical structures of teenagers’ brains from before and after the stress started, and to document significant differences.
Researchers knew teens had higher levels of depression, anxiety and fearfulness than before the stress. But we knew nothing about the effects on their brains. The researchers found growth in brain areas that control access to some memories and help control fear, stress and other emotions.
Premature(过早的) aging of kids’ brains isn’t a positive development. Their stressful childhood experiences not only make people easier to suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses, they can raise the risk of cancer, heart disease and other long-term negative outcomes.
The scientists tried to make out how the stress itself may have impacted the physical structure of the children’s brains and their mental health. They matched pairs of children with the same age, gender and stress. “That allowed us to compare 16-year olds before the stress with different 16-year olds assessed after the stress,” said Ian Gotlib, a psychology professor at Stanford University.
To determine the brain age of their samples, the researchers fed their brain examinations into a machine-learning model for predicting brain age developed by the ENIGMA-Brain Age working group, a co-operation among scientists who share their brain image data sets. They also evaluated mental health outcomes reported by the matched pairs. They found more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression and internalizing(内在化的) problems in the group that had experienced the stress.
Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, noted that many individuals experience post-traumatic(创伤后的) growth after a stressful experience. “This is a useful initial study,” agreed David Fassler, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont. “I expect the results will inform the design of future research initiatives.”

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。
Grady and his family go camping every summer. As it was becoming hotter, here came the camping time.
Having planned the camp long, the family finally decided the destination --- the Great National Forest. With food, necessity and cookers loaded onto the car, the family squeezed into the car. The car door closed, heat was shut outside.
In the car, Jared, Grady's younger brother was playing with a toy dinosaur, making great noise. Grady's mother talked excitedly with his father. On settling in the car, Grady put on the earphone and turned on the music. He neither wanted to join his brother nor joined any talk. After what seemed to be hours, the car stopped where they headed. Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the car door.
“This will be a lengthy week,“ he said unhappily to no one in particular. He looked around the campground. Hundreds of tall and green fir trees, some as tall as church towers, covered the mountainside like a green carpet. The sun would be setting soon. Grady thought maybe the heat wouldn't be unbearable. But actually now in the mountain, the hot stickiness of July was closely attached to him.
Grady hated camping, but it was something his family stuck to every summer. His father liked cooking over an open air, telling stories about how to survive things like bear attacks and bites of bees. His mother and Jared liked to hike and take pictures of animals. Jared had a collection of bug pictures that he had pinned to the walls in his half of their room. Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a strange kid.
They set up camp - two tents, one for his parents and one for himself and Jared. While everyone else started preparing dinner, Grady, looking for some place to cool down, set off for the nearby stream, which was deep enough to swim in.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub (幼崽)caught his eye.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
