【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reservations are for the entire day with a reservation fee of $100.(预订是一整天的，预订费为100美元)”可知，预订费为100美元；根据Shelter Reservation Cancellation (取消预定) Policy下面的“If you cancel your reservation one month or more before the rental date, 100% of the fee will be refunded (退还).(如果你在租赁日期一个月之前或更长时间取消预订，将退还100%的费用)”可知，如果你在租赁日期一月之前取消，你能拿回全额，即100美元。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Picnic shelters are available to reserve between May 1 and September 30 each year.(野餐棚可在每年5月1日至9月30日期间预订)”可知，野餐棚5月1日至9月30日有5个月时间是可以预定的。故选B。

Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.
Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started the “special forces style tourism” in March after she was attracted by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers. “Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time,” said Yu.
Her most recent trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local attractions. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to.”
Unlike Yu who traveled in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral student at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, likes to travel far to rid herself of academic stress. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the scenic sites in the city. “Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life!” said Chen.
Even so, the 24-year-old added that such tourism is not suitable for everyone. Chen said that it’s labor-consuming as visitors have to see as many sites as possible in an intensive (集中的) period. To some extent, such trips are not flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like. “Thus, abundant energy and a calm mind are necessary for special forces style tourism,” said Chen.
4. What can we infer about special forces style tourism from the text
A. It is exhausting but rewarding.
B. It is popular with all people in China.
C. It features visiting multiple scenic interests in a relaxing way.
D. It is flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like.
5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people take to this new kind of tourism
A. It can bring relief to our stressful life.
B. It can contribute to learning more about the sites.
C. It can help save time and money while enjoying the sites better.
D. Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips.
6. If you want to try special forces style tourism, you will probably _______.
A. visit eight places in Beijing within one day
B. communicate with local people in Chengdu
C. stay in a comfortable hotel in Dali for three days
D. visit two famous places in Chongqing within one week
7. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. A new kind of tourism has sprung up.
B. Special forces style tourism is well-received worldwide.
C. College students like visiting scenic interests on weekends.
D. College students challenge themselves by traveling on a tight schedule.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在中国兴起的一种新型旅游方式：特种兵式旅游。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily. (据《中国青年报》报道，这在大学生中很受欢迎)”可知B项错误，这种旅游方式并不是受所有的中国人欢迎。根据第一段“Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. (这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”，其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点，最常见的是在周末)”可知这种新型旅游耗时短且强度大，故CD项错误。根据第三段中于滢华所说的“Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to. (虽然有点累，但我喜欢这次旅行，就像一整天的旅行一样。它仍然让我更好地了解我去的城市)”和第四段陈俊俊所说的“Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life! (同时承担许多学术责任，这样的旅行可以给我紧张的生活带来一抹色彩!)”可知，特种兵式旅游耗费体力，但很有回报。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段于滢华所说的“Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time. (由于疫情，我在学校呆了将近三年，我渴望在业余时间去旅行)”可知D选项“Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips. (由于疫情人们被限制了近三年，大家都渴望旅行)”是原因之一。根据第三段“It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to. (它仍然让我更好地了解我去的城市)”可知B选项“It can contribute to learning more about the sites. (它有助于更多地了解这些景色)”符合原因。根据第四段陈俊俊所说的“Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life! (同时承担许多学术责任，这样的旅行可以给我紧张的生活带来一抹色彩!)”可知这种旅游可以缓解压力，所以A项也是理由。所以C选项不是人们选择特种兵式旅游的原因，且“save money”未提及。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. (这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”，其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点，最常见的是在周末)”这种新型旅游是耗时短且强度大，所以A选项“visit eight places in Beijing within one day. (在一天内游览北京的八个地方)”符合这种新型旅游方式。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.(最近，一种新的旅游业在中国兴起。这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”，其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点，最常见的是在周末。据《中国青年报》报道，它在大学生中很受欢迎)”可知，全篇都在介绍一种很受大学生欢迎的新型的旅游方式：特种兵式旅游，这种新型旅游是耗时短且强度大，但很有回报，D“大学生们在紧张的行程中挑战自己”符合文意。故选D。
C
I am a professor of clinical psychology. Some time ago, I got halfway through a day of teaching before a co-worker pointed out to me I was quite carelessly wearing a pair of different shoes, one red and one black. I felt so embarrassed and upset but I would have to go teach my course like this. When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.
I shared my mistake because I realized that trying hide it was interfering with my ability to concentrate my mind on my teaching — but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself.
Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes. We might feel self-criticism and shame if we do make some.
However, mistake making is part of learning new things, and it can draw us closer to others. It opens up the possibility of accepting mistakes gladly, letting us be more open and engaged in what we are doing.
We can say words of kindness and self-compassion to ourselves: Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time; noticing our own imperfections can help us to be kind to others when we notice they are imperfect, too. When we practice our mistakes in this way, they can become opportunities to open up to others, learn about ourselves, and connect even more with what matters to us.
8. How does the author develop paragraph 1
A. By giving some examples. B. By following time order.
C. By doing scientific experiments. D. By sharing personal experience.
9. What was the result of the author sharing his mistake
A. Shameful. B. Unexpected. C. Punishable. D. Unaccepted.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. Intentions to avoid mistakes. B. Advantages of making mistakes.
C. Possibilities of making mistakes. D. Efforts to avoid making mistakes.
11. What can we know about mistakes from the last paragraph
A. They interfere with what we are doing.
B. They draw too much attention from us.
C. They are big opportunities to get us improved.
D. They make us feel irresponsible and defeated.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者通过主动告诉学生自己犯的错误，不但消除了自己内心的尴尬、沮丧，同时还拉进了自己与学生之间的距离。向他人敞开心扉，不仅可以了解自己，还能将自己与其他的事情联系起来。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段第一句提到“I am a professor of clinical psychology. ”（我是一名临床心理学的教授）且该段的主语都使用了第一人称I (我)。由此判断，作者通过分享自己的经历来写第一段的内容。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.”（我感到很尴尬和沮丧，但我必须这样去教我的课程。当我意识到我是多么想要消失和避免这种情况时，我决定去面对它。我走进教室，向同学们宣布我穿了两双不同的鞋，并把他们的注意力引到我的脚上。每个人都笑了，我们继续上课。多年以后，那个班的一个学生告诉我，那是她第一次想到也许，只是也许，她也可以成为一名教授。）和第二段“but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself”（但我不知道这也有助于缩短学生和我自己之间的心理距离）由此判断，作者在发现自己犯错之后感到非常的尴尬，同时内心也十分想上好课，但是作者选择了向学生直言自己犯的错误，没想到得到了学生的笑声，课也进行的十分顺利。并且当时在作者课上的学生也告诉作者，正是看到了当时的那一幕，也燃起了自己想要成为老师的想法，拉近了学生和自己之间的心理距离。因此作者在向学生坦白之后得到了一些自己没有意想到的结果。A. Shameful.羞耻的；B. Unexpected.意想不到的；C. Punishable.该惩罚的；D. Unaccepted.未被接受的。B项符合文意。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段提到“Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes.”（很多情况下，人们会因为犯错而受到惩罚或羞辱。我们努力避免犯错是因为我们渴望成功，以及别人对我们的错误的反应。）很多情况下人们不想犯错是想要成功，也避免别人对自己犯错之后的反应。由此判断，该段主要讲述的是人们为什么想要避免犯错，即避免犯错的意图。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段第二句提到“Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time”（犯错是自然的，也是符合人性的；对于这个错误，我们可以对自己好一点，并且下次努力做得更好）可知，犯错促使人下次努力做得更好，可得出犯错反而是能够帮助人进行自我提升的机会。故选C。
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation
A. Permitting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positive in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complicated. B. Widespread. C. Instructive. D. Essential.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Promoting positivity is worthwhile. B. Admitting negativity is reasonable.
C. Sticking to positivity is significant. D. Expressing negativity is inappropriate.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为积极的思维方式有可能会带来有害的积极，引发负面的结果。文章具体说明了有害的积极的内涵，它可能引发负面结果的原因，建议我们去追求情感认可，正视自己的、他人的负面情感。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important.（然而，情感认可允许你有自己的感受。确切地说，情感认可就是允许人体验他们的感受，承认负面感受是真实的，而且往往很重要。）”可知，情感认可不否定人的负面感受，承认其真实的存在和重要性，也就是承认情感的起伏变动。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.（现在你可以说：你感觉到的一切都是暂时的，允许自己去感受它，这会帮助你度过它。）”可知，对于有负面感受的人，我们应该允许他有这样的感受。再结合倒数第二段中“Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.（此外，不要告诉别人往好的方面看，你应该用语言和思想来支持他们。）”可知，对于有负面感受的人，我们还应该表明我们对他的支持。由此推断，对于一个伤心的人，作者可能会建议我们说：你有权感到难过，而我会支持你。故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”（你可能认识很多这样的人，他们用“你太敏感了”这样的话来驳斥你的负面经历）”可知，像这样否认他人负面感受的人很多，所以有害的积极应该是变得普遍了。因此，prevalent的词义和widespread相近。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).（相反，我们应该追求情感认可。）”以及全文内容可知，作者认为积极的思维方式有可能会带来有害的积极，引发负面的结果，建议我们去追求情感认可，正视自己的、他人的负面情感。因此，B项“承认负面情感是合理的”符合文章大意。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park. A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ____16____
It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away. ____17____
The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ____18____ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load.
____19____ In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish (区分) between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment).
Measuring reaction time in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes.
____20____ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea.
A. Nature influences us in many ways.
B. A walk through nature does the opposite, though.
C. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking.
D. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort.
E. The study includes two experiments with two different ways.
F. The second experiment dug into some higher-level cognitive processes.
G. The reason is that urban environments are more likely to take our attention away.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在城市里散步和在公园里散步不一样并通过研究讲述其原因。
【16题详解】
根据文中第一句“Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park.(在城市里散步和在公园里散步很不一样)”提到城里散步不同于公园散步；紧接着阐明城里散步的研究结果“A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load.(一项小型心理学研究表明，城市环境会放慢你的脚步，并可能增加你的精神负荷)”那么接下来应是对在“自然中散步”的情况进行对比。因此B项“而在大自然中散步则恰恰相反”符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据第三段第一句“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load.(这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上)”可知设空处需要一个概括这个实验的句子，因此E项“该研究包括两个实验，采用两种不同的方法”符合上下文语境，承接上文“ The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away.(调查发现表明，自然环境可能会减少认知疲劳，并直接提高反应时间)”，the study呼应上文的the findings。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据此段对第一个实验的描述，特别是“During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed.(在这次试验中，参与者被安装了传感器和十几个运动控制摄像头，观察他们以自然速度重复走下一个15米高的房间)”，以及空后句中的“people reported that they felt more uncomfortable(人们报告说他们感觉更不舒服)”可知，参与者被要求报告他们在两种环境下不舒适度的感受，因此D “在每个实验后参与者被要求评估他们的不舒适）”符合上下文语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
根据第三段段首“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people's way of walking and cognitive load.(这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上)”对两个实验的提及，可以推断出这里讲的是第二个实验。由此可知F项“第二种实验是深入研究一些更高层次的认知过程”符合题意，“higher-level cognitive”是解题的关键字眼，和第一个实验形成递进关系，故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. (研究小组发现了支持他们观点的结果。在城市环境中，参与者辨别简单形状的速度较慢。)”是对参与者在两种环境下散步产生差异性的分析，由此推知，空处可能陈述原因。因此G项“原因是城市环境更容易让人分心。”分析了原因，符合上下文语境，下文“Our brains take longer to process. (我们的大脑需要更长的时间来处理。)”进一步阐述原因。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了通过在西藏自治区进行的直播，使得更多的人加入到了反白色污染活动当中，这件有意义的事情使我们人类有可能与大自然和谐相处。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：但最近在西藏自治区举行的一次直播活动却有所不同。分析句子结构可知，此处需要填连词连接空前与空后的句子，结合句意可知，空前与空后两个句子间为转折关系，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填But。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：废塑料瓶，通常被视为对当地环境极大破坏，以每瓶0.5元的价格出售，目的是提高人们对西藏污染问题的认识。分析句子结构可知，该句中已经有一个谓语动词were sold，且没有连词，所以此处应填非谓语动词，regard意为“认为”，与空前的名词Waste plastic bottles为被动关系，所以应为过去分词。故填regarded。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：废塑料瓶，通常被视为对当地环境的极大破坏，以每瓶0.5元的价格出售，目的是提高人们对西藏污染问题的认识。此空位于冠词之后，介词之前，所以填名词，intend的名词为intention意为“目的，意图”。故填intention。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：2019年，约有4000万游客访问西藏，导致约3.6亿个塑料瓶被遗弃在树枝、悬崖和河流中。此空处提示词名词，前有about 40 million来修饰，在句中作主语，所以此处填名词复数。故填tourists。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：白色污染对当地生态系统和当地动物（如牦牛）构成严重威胁。此空提示词threat意为“构成威胁的事/人”时为可数名词，其前必须有限定词，结合句意可知此处表示泛指，填不定冠词，且空后serious的发音是以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在过去的几年里，超过5000名志愿者参加了反白色污染运动。分析句子结构可知，此处应该填谓语动词，由时间状语Over the past few years可知，应用现在完成时，主语more than 5,000 volunteers为复数，且与participate为主动关系。故填have participated。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：大致而言，每瓶的价格约为0.5元。分析句子结构可知，此处填副词作状语，rough的副词形式为roughly，且位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Roughly。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：直播成功地让更多的人参与了反白色污染运动，他们所做的确实有所作为。结合句意可知，此处表示的是“在……运动中”，介词应使用in。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：直播成功地让更多的人参与了反白色污染运动，他们所做的确实有所作为。分析句子结构可知，此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词have done的宾语，指的是“事情”。故填what。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：这确实是一个有意义的事件，有助于使我们人类有可能与自然和谐相处。此空位于介词之后与human being的内容相同，作做介词的宾语，所以填we的宾格形式。故填us。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Two things changed my life: my mother and a bike basket. It’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today—a lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what other kids owned, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday. You are not getting a TV in your room or a big party.” We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores (家庭杂务) around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was one summer day. My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window—white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers: The basket winked at me and I knew—I had to have it.
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first, but then I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mom, please can I get it I’ll do anything, please, Mom, please ” I was desperate.
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I have earned enough, it’ll have gone! Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please ”
“There might be another way,” she said.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“I’ll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others’ bikes!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “I’ll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained. I agreed immediately and Mom bought the flowery basket and kept it somewhere I could’t find. Each day, I finished my new routine of double household chores with passion and enthusiasm. Each night, I crossed off another day on the calender as I counted down the days. As the days passed, the basket seemed to become even more beautiful in my imagination. The extra chores didn’t bother me. The basket was worth it. The anticipation grew stronger as the days ticked down.
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others’ bikes! So shocked and upset was I that I immediately went home to report this disaster to my Mom. Seeing my sad face, she gently wiped away my tears. Holding my little face in her warmth hands, she spoke out what has become the lesson I still carry with me today. “Your basket is not the same basket. It’s unique because it was obtained by all your worthwhile effort and waiting.”
【解析】

①由第一段首句内容“妈妈解释说:‘我现在就去买，但是你要做三个星期的双份家务才能拿到。’”可知，第一段可描写接下来三周作者的表现和其心理活动。

Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.
Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started the “special forces style tourism” in March after she was attracted by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers. “Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time,” said Yu.
Her most recent trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local attractions. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to.”
Unlike Yu who traveled in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral student at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, likes to travel far to rid herself of academic stress. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the scenic sites in the city. “Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life!” said Chen.
Even so, the 24-year-old added that such tourism is not suitable for everyone. Chen said that it’s labor-consuming as visitors have to see as many sites as possible in an intensive (集中的) period. To some extent, such trips are not flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like. “Thus, abundant energy and a calm mind are necessary for special forces style tourism,” said Chen.
4. What can we infer about special forces style tourism from the text
A. It is exhausting but rewarding.
B. It is popular with all people in China.
C. It features visiting multiple scenic interests in a relaxing way.
D. It is flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like.
5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people take to this new kind of tourism
A. It can bring relief to our stressful life.
B. It can contribute to learning more about the sites.
C It can help save time and money while enjoying the sites better.
D. Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips.
6. If you want to try special forces style tourism, you will probably _______.
A. visit eight places in Beijing within one day
B. communicate with local people in Chengdu
C. stay in a comfortable hotel in Dali for three days
D visit two famous places in Chongqing within one week
7. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. A new kind of tourism has sprung up.
B. Special forces style tourism is well-received worldwide.
C. College students like visiting scenic interests on weekends.
D. College students challenge themselves by traveling on a tight schedule.

I am a professor of clinical psychology. Some time ago, I got halfway through a day of teaching before a co-worker pointed out to me I was quite carelessly wearing a pair of different shoes, one red and one black. I felt so embarrassed and upset but I would have to go teach my course like this. When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.
I shared my mistake because I realized that trying hide it was interfering with my ability to concentrate my mind on my teaching — but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself.
Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes. We might feel self-criticism and shame if we do make some.
However, mistake making is part of learning new things, and it can draw us closer to others. It opens up the possibility of accepting mistakes gladly, letting us be more open and engaged in what we are doing.
We can say words of kindness and self-compassion to ourselves: Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time; noticing our own imperfections can help us to be kind to others when we notice they are imperfect, too. When we practice our mistakes in this way, they can become opportunities to open up to others, learn about ourselves, and connect even more with what matters to us.
8. How does the author develop paragraph 1
A. By giving some examples. B. By following time order.
C. By doing scientific experiments. D. By sharing personal experience.
9. What was the result of the author sharing his mistake
A. Shameful. B. Unexpected. C. Punishable. D. Unaccepted.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. Intentions to avoid mistakes. B. Advantages of making mistakes.

There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation
A. Permitting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positive in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complicated. B. Widespread. C. Instructive. D. Essential.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Promoting positivity is worthwhile. B. Admitting negativity is reasonable.
C. Sticking to positivity is significant. D. Expressing negativity is inappropriate.

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。
Two things changed my life: my mother and a bike basket. It’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today—a lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what other kids owned, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday. You are not getting a TV in your room or a big party.” We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores (家庭杂务) around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was one summer day. My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window—white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers: The basket winked at me and I knew—I had to have it.
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first, but then I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mom, please can I get it I’ll do anything, please, Mom, please ” I was desperate.
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I have earned enough, it’ll have gone! Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please ”
“There might be another way,” she said.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“I’ll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others’ bikes!
