“Won’t Give Up” was originally thought as a song to express sadness to a melting glacier (冰川) in Alaska. Yet unlike many other songs reflecting on environmental disaster, “Won’t Give Up” — as its title suggests—aims to reduce people’s feelings of hopelessness when it comes to reducing global warming.
“We are standing, all three of us, on Exit Glacier, in a spot where even five, ten years ago, the glacier was a hundred feet tall,” said Pattie Gonia, who cooperated on the song with 2019 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson and famous cellist (大提琴演奏家) Yo-Yo Ma. The three musicians traveled to the site to shoot the accompanying music video. “And now it’s nothing,” Gonia added. “Now it’s the rocks underneath.”
Despite the song’s connection to melting glaciers, the text of the song doesn’t specifically refer to climate change. Nate Sloan, a University of Southern California musicologist, said the “Won’t Give Up” could serve as a cry for many social movements. “It’s a little uncertain,” said Sloan. “It’s a little inspirational, which is perhaps what the world needs from a climate anthem (颂歌).”
“There’s a lot of potential for this song to be sung at climate gathering, to be sung as a part of the climate movement,” said Gonia. “But also for the song to be what it needs to be and mean what it needs to mean to other people, no matter who they are. If a person hears it and thinks that it’s not about climate but that it’s about racial justice, that’s beautiful. Take it, go for it.”
The musicians said they hope “Won’t Give Up” will become an anthem for the climate change movement, as Charles Albert Tindley’s “We Shall Overcome” did for civil rights in the 20th century and “Quiet” by Milck for women’s rights in the months following the 2016 presidential election.
Christopherson said the best way to do that is by getting other people to sing it. “It’s for you to sing, to scream, and to dance to,” he said. “It’s just to be shared.”
8. What is the purpose of creating “Won’t Give Up”
A. To explore an unhappy topic. B. To protect a melting glacier.
C. To inspire a positive awareness. D. To avoid environmental disasters.
9. What do we know about Exit Glacier
A. It is attractive to musicians. B. It has completely melt.
C. It is suitable to shoot videos. D. It has turned into rocks.
10. What does Sloan think of the song
A. It is the whole society’s voice. B. It can bring about inspiration.
C. It focuses on the climate change. D. It can lead the world’s movements.
11. Why are the other two songs mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To make a comparison. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To present an argument. D. To express an expectation.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“ “Won’t Give Up” was originally thought as a song to express sadness to a melting glacier (冰川) in Alaska. Yet unlike many other songs reflecting on environmental disaster, “Won’t Give Up” — as its title suggests—aims to reduce people’s feelings of hopelessness when it comes to reducing global warming.(《不会放弃》最初被认为是一首表达对阿拉斯加冰川融化的悲伤的歌曲。然而，与许多其他反映环境灾难的歌曲不同，“不会放弃”——正如它的名字所暗示的那样——旨在减少人们在减少全球变暖方面的绝望感)”可知，创作《不会放弃》的目的是激发积极的意识。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““And now it’s nothing,” Gonia added. “Now it’s the rocks underneath.”(“现在什么都没有了，”戈妮娅补充道。“现在是下面的岩石。”)”可知，Exit Glacier完全融化了。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Nate Sloan, a University of Southern California musicologist, said the “Won’t Give Up” could serve as a cry for many social movements. “It’s a little uncertain,” said Sloan. “It’s a little inspirational, which is perhaps what the world needs from a climate anthem (颂歌).”(南加州大学音乐学家内特·斯隆说，这首歌可以作为许多社会运动的口号。“这有点不确定，”斯隆说。“这首歌有点鼓舞人心，也许这正是世界需要的一首气候颂歌。”)”可知，斯隆认为这首歌能带来鼓舞。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The musicians said they hope “Won’t Give Up” will become an anthem for the climate change movement, as Charles Albert Tindley’s “We Shall Overcome” did for civil rights in the 20th century and “Quiet” by Milck for women’s rights in the months following the 2016 presidential election.(音乐家们表示，他们希望《不会放弃》能成为气候变化运动的圣歌，就像查尔斯·阿尔伯特·廷德利的《我们将克服》在20世纪为民权运动所做的那样，以及在2016年总统大选后的几个月里，米尔克的《安静》为女权运动所做的那样)”可推知，第5段提到了另外两首歌是为了表达期望。故选D。
D
When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort them Do you let them shout Do you pour them a glass of wine Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy. That is “Hugging”.
Michael Murphy is a psychology postdoc (博士后) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle stress and conflict better. So he made some study and found, “Individuals who report turning to a network for support tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But just because you have a support network does not mean that you definitely feel that support.”
So some researchers have argued that many of the behaviors we use to support others who are stressed might actually be counterproductive because these behaviors might unintentionally communicate to others that they’re not able to manage stress.
Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks. During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question—whether somebody had hugged them that day-and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict or tension with somebody that day. They also were asked questions about their social interactions—how many social interactions they had that day-and responded to questions about negative and positive mood states.
And the researchers found that individuals who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as were participants who experienced conflict and didn’t get a hug. Murphy and his team also saw that people who received a hug didn’t carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive a hug would.
Murphy does include this warning: “So our findings should not be taken as evidence that people should just start hugging anyone who seems distressed. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither consensual (两相情愿的) nor positive.”
12. What can help people reduce stress according to the new study
A. Having hugs. B. Drinking wine with friends.
C. Letting out a cry of pain. D. Taking advantage of a network.
13. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A Helpful. B. Negative. C. Abnormal. D. Proper.
14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The process of the study. B. The function of the interviews.
C. The behavior of the participants. D. The design of yes or no questions.
15. What is Murphy’s attitude to hugging in handling stress
A. Subjective. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了新的研究发现，安慰别人的一个非常有效也是简单易行的方法——拥抱。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort them Do you let them shout Do you pour them a glass of wine Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy. That is “Hugging”.(当一个朋友在有压力的一天后来找你，你如何安慰他们？你让他们喊吗？你会给他们倒杯酒吗？这些方法可以奏效。但一项新的研究发现，一种非常有效的方法也很简单。这就是“拥抱”)”可知，根据这项新研究，拥抱可以帮助人们减轻压力。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“many of the behaviors we use to support others who are stressed might actually be”以及后文“because these behaviors might unintentionally communicate to others that they’re not able to manage stress”可知，我们用来支持有压力的人的许多行为实际上可能是消极的，因为这些行为可能无意中向他人传达了他们无法管理压力的信息。故划线词意思是“消极的”。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks. During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question—whether somebody had hugged them that day-and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict or tension with somebody that day. They also were asked questions about their social interactions—how many social interactions they had that day-and responded to questions about negative and positive mood states.(墨菲和他的团队在两周内每天晚上采访404名男性和女性。在这些访谈中，参与者被问及一个简单的“是”或“否”的问题——当天是否有人拥抱过他们——以及一个简单的“是”或“否”的问题——当天是否与某人发生过冲突或紧张。他们还被问及有关社交活动的问题——当天有多少社交活动——并回答有关消极和积极情绪状态的问题)”可知，第四段主要讲了研究的过程。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Murphy and his team also saw that people who received a hug didn’t carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive a hug would.(墨菲和他的团队还发现，接受拥抱的人不会把负面影响带到第二天，而那些没有接受拥抱的人则会)”以及最后一段“Murphy does include this warning: “So our findings should not be taken as evidence that people should just start hugging anyone who seems distressed. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither consensual (两相情愿的) nor positive.”(墨菲也提出了这样的警告：“所以我们的研究结果不应该被视为人们应该拥抱任何看起来很痛苦的人的证据。工作中的老板或街上的陌生人给你一个拥抱，都可能被视为既不自愿也不积极。”)”可推知，墨菲对拥抱处理压力的态度是客观的。故选C。

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。
This is a story about a learning experience that had a big effect on the way that I live my life. The teacher in the story did not scream, assign homework, give me tests or even grade me on my work. I was taught by one of the most effective methods of teaching, one that only people with lots of love can understand.
“My wallet! Where is it ” were my first words when I found my wallet was missing. I searched my memory for a few good seconds, then realized that I had left my precious wallet at the library. Not only did I leave it at the library, but I had left it in the library’s public restroom! I clearly remembered seeing it on the shelf as I went to the bathroom.
Because the library was now closed, I had to wait until the next morning to begin my search. When I got there the next day, all I found was a tidy restroom, its counters clean and its floors shiny white. This was the first time I could remember ever hating to see a clean bathroom. As I walked out, I looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head at the forgetful fool in front of me.
Now all I could hope for was that the person who cleaned the restroom had found my wallet. So I politely approached an old lady reading her book at the front desk. I asked her if a wallet had been found in the bathroom yesterday. She didn’t answer me until she found a good place to pull herself away from her book. Then she peered (凝视) at me from behind the thick glasses on her nose. Letting out a quiet sigh (叹息), she struggled out of her comfortable sitting position. She walked through a door and disappeared for a moment. Then she came back to the desk, and said, “No.”
That was that. I quickly thanked her and walked off. I wondered what I would do if I had found a wallet containing sixty dollars, a phone card and many other important personal items. Finally, I painfully accepted the fact that my wallet was gone.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
A week later, after I had canceled my bank card and reported my license missing, I received a mysterious package in the mail. The envelope was plain and unmarked, with no indication of who it was from. Curious, I opened it to find my missing wallet inside, along with a note. The note simply said, “Find in the library restroom. Please check your items.” I was stunned. How could someone find my wallet, return it to me, and not even want recognition for his/her kindness
Paragraph 2
Unexpectedly, this person didn’t even leave a return address, so I couldn’t thank whoever it was. I felt a mixture of relief and gratitude. After all, the wallet contained not only my money and cards, but also personal items that were irreplaceable. Whoever this anonymous hero was, they had restored my faith in humanity. I decided to pay it forward by doing some good deeds of my own, hoping to spread the same kindness I had been shown. And so, with a renewed sense of purpose, I walked out into the world, ready to make a positive difference. It taught me that everyone can give an act of kindness.

Since it was first published in 1981, the magazine Duzhe has been many people’s daily reading. Its various articles cover a wide range of areas of knowledge and topics, widening readers’ vision of the world while becoming one of the most popular magazines in the country.
The bi-monthly magazine introduces people to literary beauty and the depth of thought. The magazine also serves as a platform where artists are able to showcase their gifts by creating related illustrations (插画). More than 300 artists have illustrated 20,000 works to the magazine’s 780 issues over four decades, according to its publisher, Duzhe Publishing and Media Co., which is based in Lanzhou, Gansu province.
Now, an exhibition is putting the spotlight on how illustrations have given added meaning to the magazine by showing 250 illustrations that have been featured in it. Duzhe Illustration Art Works Touring Exhibition is running at the Beijing Fine Art Academy through April 9, as the first stop of a national tour. It shows the magazine’s art and editorial elements, and the progress of illustrations in the course of the country’s reform and opening-up.
The illustrations on show come with small boards on which original pages provide the text — short stories, essays and poems, enabling the audience to sense the chemistry between words and images. It shows how far and wide the editors at Duzhe have reached, along with artists across the country.
Li Xiaolin is among those whose gift was spotted by the magazine. Li took up illustration classes while studying for a master’s degree at the CAFA. His works were included in a book of his teacher’s, and caught the attention of Duzhe’s editors who contacted him.

“Won’t Give Up” was originally thought as a song to express sadness to a melting glacier (冰川) in Alaska. Yet unlike many other songs reflecting on environmental disaster, “Won’t Give Up” — as its title suggests—aims to reduce people’s feelings of hopelessness when it comes to reducing global warming.
“We are standing, all three of us, on Exit Glacier, in a spot where even five, ten years ago, the glacier was a hundred feet tall,” said Pattie Gonia, who cooperated on the song with 2019 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson and famous cellist (大提琴演奏家) Yo-Yo Ma. The three musicians traveled to the site to shoot the accompanying music video. “And now it’s nothing,” Gonia added. “Now it’s the rocks underneath.”
Despite the song’s connection to melting glaciers, the text of the song doesn’t specifically refer to climate change. Nate Sloan, a University of Southern California musicologist, said the “Won’t Give Up” could serve as a cry for many social movements. “It’s a little uncertain,” said Sloan. “It’s a little inspirational, which is perhaps what the world needs from a climate anthem (颂歌).”
“There’s a lot of potential for this song to be sung at climate gathering, to be sung as a part of the climate movement,” said Gonia. “But also for the song to be what it needs to be and mean what it needs to mean to other people, no matter who they are. If a person hears it and thinks that it’s not about climate but that it’s about racial justice, that’s beautiful. Take it, go for it.”
The musicians said they hope “Won’t Give Up” will become an anthem for the climate change movement, as Charles Albert Tindley’s “We Shall Overcome” did for civil rights in the 20th century and “Quiet” by Milck for women’s rights in the months following the 2016 presidential election.
Christopherson said the best way to do that is by getting other people to sing it. “It’s for you to sing, to scream, and to dance to,” he said. “It’s just to be shared.”
8. What is the purpose of creating “Won’t Give Up”
A. To explore an unhappy topic. B. To protect a melting glacier.
C. To inspire a positive awareness. D. To avoid environmental disasters.
9. What do we know about Exit Glacier
A. It is attractive to musicians. B. It has completely melt.
C. It is suitable to shoot videos. D. It has turned into rocks.
10. What does Sloan think of the song
A. It is the whole society’s voice. B. It can bring about inspiration.
C. It focuses on the climate change. D. It can lead the world’s movements.
11. Why are the other two songs mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To make a comparison. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To present an argument. D. To express an expectation.
D
When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort them Do you let them shout Do you pour them a glass of wine Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy. That is “Hugging”.
Michael Murphy is a psychology postdoc (博士后) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle stress and conflict better. So he made some study and found, “Individuals who report turning to a network for support tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But just because you have a support network does not mean that you definitely feel that support.”
So some researchers have argued that many of the behaviors we use to support others who are stressed might actually be counterproductive because these behaviors might unintentionally communicate to others that they’re not able to manage stress.
Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks. During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question—whether somebody had hugged them that day-and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict or tension with somebody that day. They also were asked questions about their social interactions—how many social interactions they had that day-and responded to questions about negative and positive mood states.
And the researchers found that individuals who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as were participants who experienced conflict and didn’t get a hug. Murphy and his team also saw that people who received a hug didn’t carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive a hug would.
Murphy does include this warning: “So our findings should not be taken as evidence that people should just start hugging anyone who seems distressed. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither consensual (两相情愿的) nor positive.”

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。
This is a story about a learning experience that had a big effect on the way that I live my life. The teacher in the story did not scream, assign homework, give me tests or even grade me on my work. I was taught by one of the most effective methods of teaching, one that only people with lots of love can understand.
“My wallet! Where is it ” were my first words when I found my wallet was missing. I searched my memory for a few good seconds, then realized that I had left my precious wallet at the library. Not only did I leave it at the library, but I had left it in the library’s public restroom! I clearly remembered seeing it on the shelf as I went to the bathroom.
Because the library was now closed, I had to wait until the next morning to begin my search. When I got there the next day, all I found was a tidy restroom, its counters clean and its floors shiny white. This was the first time I could remember ever hating to see a clean bathroom. As I walked out, I looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head at the forgetful fool in front of me.
Now all I could hope for was that the person who cleaned the restroom had found my wallet. So I politely approached an old lady reading her book at the front desk. I asked her if a wallet had been found in the bathroom yesterday. She didn’t answer me until she found a good place to pull herself away from her book. Then she peered (凝视) at me from behind the thick glasses on her nose. Letting out a quiet sigh (叹息), she struggled out of her comfortable sitting position. She walked through a door and disappeared for a moment. Then she came back to the desk, and said, “No.”
That was that. I quickly thanked her and walked off. I wondered what I would do if I had found a wallet containing sixty dollars, a phone card and many other important personal items. Finally, I painfully accepted the fact that my wallet was gone.
