If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.
I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later ” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life.
Evie was a college student living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry.
I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.
24. Why did the author become worried at the beginning
A. Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual.
C. Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone.
25. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played.
26. What do we know about Evie
A. She spent that Saturday with her friends. B. She lived with her classmates in the dorm.
C. She failed to ring back her mom in the end. D. She had trouble returning to school timely.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. A college student’s busy academic life. B. The importance of patience in daily life.
C. The author’s favorite word for 2022. D. A mother’s deep love for her daughter.
C
Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate (有读写能力的)，and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to navigate a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more.
Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect—the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken.
But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress What do you think Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete (淘汰的)
28. What does the 2nd paragraph focus on
A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy.
C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast.
pared to listening, what will a person do when reading
A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly.
C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words.
30. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book
A. To give an example of a book on reading.
B. To show the evolution of human beings.
C. To prove that reading is related with brain.
D. To illustrate the need for reading and writing.
31. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A blog post.
C. A book review. D. An academic article.
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
32. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
33. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
34. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination

Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation
Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said.
Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking:
Follow your passion (热情). 36 . They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about.
37 With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “ 38 , so make sure that it’s what you really want,” Mr. Spence said.
Consider your budget. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. 39 . If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice.
Don’t forget the children. 40 , provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,” Mr. Spence said.
A. A little, or a lot
B. Don’t be influenced by others’ interests
C. What skill do you want to learn
D. Learning vacations can be great family trips, too
E. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless
F. Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip
G. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful

第二节 读后续写
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。
I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.
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。
I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me.

M: Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday, Miranda
W: Yes, of course! I watch them every year!What did you think about what Angelina Jolie did
M: Well, to be honest, I didn’t watch the Oscars. I guess I don’t understand why everyone likes it so much.
Text 2
M: Give me a call when you get into town. I’ll pick you up at the train station.
W: Should I call you at your office
M: If you get in before 5:30, call the office.Otherwise, call me at home.

W: Jerry, you’re leaving for school tomorrow.What can I do to help

M: I drove by the Hong Kong snack place, and I noticed that it’s closed. I think it went out of business.
W: You can’t be serious! I just ate there yesterday, and the owner didn’t say anything about closing down.
Text 6
M: As you can see, I have a degree in finance,and I also have three years of work experience at a major Wall Street firm.
W: Yes, but this is not exactly a finance job.It has more to do with marketing and advertising.
M: I see... Is it possible that I am in the wrong office I thought I was applying for a financial manager position.
W: Let me give them a call and see if there was a mistake with the schedule. There might be a marketing expert downstairs with the finance people!

W: This place is different from the supermarket we’re used to, isn’t it I don’t come here very often because I think the prices are higher than those at supermarkets.
M: There isn’t much of a selection. I mean,there are only one or two brands of each type of product, but that makes it easier to choose things.
W: When I’m not in a hurry, I usually enjoy comparing brands and prices so I can get the most for my money.
M: At this time of night, this is probably the only place open.
W: I’m surprised at the milk prices. They’re much lower than I expected.
M: The prices are low on selected items, but the shop can’t really compete with supermarkets when it comes to most things.At least there are no long lines here.

M: I think the position is pretty good. And the neighbors seem nice.
However, considering the walls have to be repaired, and the shelves must be repainted, your asking price is a little too high. Could you give us a better

Welcome to this workshop on student housing. I’ll go through the information about types of housing available for the term and the application procedure. Then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. There are two main types of housing for you to choose from: student dorms and the international houses. There are some spaces available in each type, but they are filling up fast. You should get your application in as soon as possible.Let me explain some of the main features of each type of housing. The student dorms are for all students. We have men’s dorms and women’s dorms. All the rooms have two beds, two closets, and two desks. There are no cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal ticket for the cafeteria. The international houses are groups of apartments for both foreign and local students. They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during meal times. It’s a good way for students to learn other cultures and languages. I think that the Spanish house is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.英语答案

书面表达
Dear Chris,
Recently our class had a discussion about whether it is better to watch the film than read the book. We had different opinions.
Some of us in favour of the film think watching a film can save a lot of time. Besides, it’s easier for people to understand. However, others think differently. They believe the book offers more information, and it’s enjoyable to read beautiful language.
From my point of view, reading the book may be the better choice. I think that it’s closely related to the author’s view. And it’s convenient to enjoy a book anytime and anywhere you like.
Yours,
Li Hua

续写
I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and “failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t give up so easily, will you ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder.
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important, isn’t it ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered for us not for winning a race but for something more important.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加全州范围的跑步，在第二英里的时候，因为力尽而摔倒，跑他前面的男孩，鼓励作者，并帮助他一起跑完全程，最后作者明白，比赛中赢不是最重要的，坚持和友谊才是。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我鼓起力量加速，但突然倒在地上。”可知，第一段可描写作者摔倒了后的心情，以及男孩鼓励并帮助作者继续跑下去。
②由第二段首句内容“跑到最后一英里时，看到运动员们一个接一个地从我们身边经过，我让那个男孩自己跑。”可知，第二段可描写男孩子告诉作者，比赛中赢不是最重要的，并最终帮助作者一起跑过终点和作者的感悟。
2. 续写线索：作者摔倒——男孩帮助——劝男孩放弃自己——男孩拒绝——一起跑过终点——感悟
