One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in, sat down, and started looking antsy. He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy (文盲). His non-profit, Barbershop Books, has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly black neighborhoods in 24 states, considering the fact that in Black American communities, barbershops are like community centers where people gather naturally.
“So many kids associate reading with something you do in or for school,” he said. “If the only place a kid practices the piano is during a lesson, the progress will be slow. Our program is about getting kids to say three words: ‘I’m a reader.’”
Irby’s program may seem straightforward but there’s a lot of thought behind it. He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines, helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend. And Irby involves the barbers in his mission — training them to engage kids about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was or tell them about another book another kid was reading.”
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to quit that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.”
“These books, I would say, have power,” 8-year-old boy Chance said. That’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.”
4 . What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Restless. B. Serious. C. Relieved. D. Joyful.
5 . Why does the program appeal to children
A. Because it expresses children’s requirements. B. Because it shows children’s characteristics.
C. Because it protects children’s security. D. Because it considers children’s preferences.
6 . What made Denny Moe give up the video games finally
A. That he wanted to attract more customers. B. That he wanted to make a difference.
C. That he wanted to bring in more money. D. That he wanted to meet different demands.
7 . What is the best title for this passage
A. Black Kids, Potential Big Readers B. Free Books, Good Way to Pay Back
C. Colourful Covers, Nice Try to Attract Kids D. Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading

Deep within the Yukon, one of the most densely wooded areas of Canada, sits a patch of land that is unlike any other forest on the planet. Instead of a canopy of treetops spreading across the horizon, tens of thousands of signposts perch haphazardly one on top of the other. They are all part of the Signpost Forest, the largest collection of signs from places around the world. At last count, the Signpost Forest in Watson Lake, located about 10 miles north of the U.S.-Canadian border, contains 91,000 signs from spots near and far.
The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown: “Danville, Illinois, 2,835 miles.” Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. Each year, an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection. Lindley’s original sign has since been lost to time. Fifty years later, in 1992, Lindley and his wife Elinor made the pilgrimage back to Watson Lake to place a replica, which is still there.
The Signpost Forest takes up a couple of acres, with huge panels snaking through the trees. There are street signs, welcome signs, signatures on dinner plates, and license plates from around the world. There are also a lot of familial signs; for example, a grandfather will put up a sign and then years later family will come back and try to find it. A lot of these are personal signs to literally say that they are here. Though the visitor center has wood and paints on hand to help create a sign, many people opt to bring their own signs, though illegally, by snatching a metal sign from their hometown and nailing it to one of the wood posts. The forest has grown so vast that the visitor center no longer tries to keep a detailed list of the signs.
8.What does “The tradition” in the second paragraph refer to
A.Counting the number of signs in the Signpost Forest.
B.Replacing the natural forest with signs of different kinds.
C.Putting directional signposts on the highways of the Yukon.
D.Bringing signs to the Signpost Forest from around the world.
9.According to the passage, which of the following is true about the first sign in the Signpost Forest
A.It remained in the Forest until 1992.
B.It was erected by an American soldier.
C.It was first put on the Alaska Highway.
D.It was brought from Lindley’s hometown.
10.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “replica” in the second paragraph
A.List. B.Trunk. C.Copy. D.Border.
11.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The origins and sizes of the signs in the Signpost Forest.
B.The quantity and variety of the signs in the Signpost Forest.
C.The difficulty of categorizing the signs in the Signpost Forest.
D.The practice of nailing illegal signs to the posts in the Signpost Forest.

Parents have been urged to stop pretending Father Christmas is real in case the “lie” damages relations with their children. Making up stories about Santa risks destroying a child’s trust and is morally unbelievable, according to two experts.
Psychologist Professor Christopher Boyle and social scientist Dr. Kathy McKay also criticize the idea employed by parents—Santa Claus judges children to be nice or naughty. Writing in a well-known journal, they argue, “If they are capable of lying about something so special and magical, can they be relied upon to continue as the guardians of wisdom and truth ”
Defending the claims, Prof Boyle said, “The morality of making children believe in such myths has to be questioned. All children will eventually find out they’ve been consistently lied to for years, and this might make them wonder what other lies they’ve been told. Whether it’s right to make children believe in Father Christmas is an interesting question, and it’s also interesting to ask whether lying in this way will affect children in ways that have not been considered.”
Dr. McKay, from the University of New England in Australia, said there was clear evidence from the world of make-believe in movies and TV that adults looked for a chance to be children again. “The persistence of fandom (影迷) in stories like Harry Potter and Star Wars indicates their desire to briefly re-enter childhood,” she said. “However,” she added, “if adults have been lying about Santa, even though it has usually been well intentioned, what else is a lie If Santa isn’t real, are fairies real Is magic Is God ”
They conclude, “Many people may long for a time when imagination was accepted and encouraged, which may not be the case in adult life. Might it be the case that the harshness of real life requires the creation of something better, something to believe in, something to hope for in the future or to return to a long-lost childhood a long time ago in a galaxy far far away ”
12 . What did parents do that drew criticism from Dr. Kathy McKay
A. They were fond of Harry Potter and Star Wars.
B. They acted as the guardians of wisdom and truth.
C. They said Santa Claus could judge a kid to be good or bad.
D. They have told many lies to their children besides Santa Claus.
13 . What can be implied in the passage
A. Parents are capable of making up stories about Santa Claus.
B. Lies about Santa Claus can have a negative impact upon children.
C. Stories about Santa Claus develop children’s trust in their parents.
D. Experts think it right to make children believe in Father Christmas.
14 . Why are adults fond of watching fictional movies
A. They desire to return to the long-lost childhood.
B. Everything will become better in movies than in real life.
C. They want to get away from pressure from life and work.
D. They didn’t watch such exciting movies when they were young.
15 . What is the author’s attitude toward parents’ lying about Santa Claus
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Disappointed. D. Concerned.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. Many straight-A students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their low-scoring classmates. Here are some secrets of the young study champions.
16 .
Top students bear no breaks on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, and snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Get organized.
Paul Melendres, a straight-A freshman from New Mexico, keeps two folders — one for the day’s assignments, another for papers completed and graded. 17 . Melendres’ methods have actually proven effective. Even students who don’t have a private study area remain organized to cut down time-wasting searches.
Clean up your act.
Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. “The student who turns in a neat paper,” says Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor, “is already on the way to an A.It’s like being served a cheeseburger. 18 .”
Speak up.
“If I don’t understand what my teacher is explaining, I asked him to repeat it,” says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. 19 . “Better academic grades come from better understanding.” says Campell. “I don’t want to memorize information for tests only.”
Test yourself.
As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman emphasizes points that she thinks may be covered during exams. 20 . Later she gives herself a written examination before test day. “If I can’t answer the questions satisfactorily, I will go back and review.” she says.
A.Set priorities.
B.Schedule your time.
C.She designs test questions based on them.
D.It’s a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.
E.A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together.
F.Hard work isn’t the whole story behind their academic grades.
G.You can’t believe it tastes good if it’s presented on a dirty plate.

A Chinese company says it plans to gather artificial intelligence 1 (learn) how humans drive and use the data to develop autonomous driving technology.
Called DriveCPT, the system uses “enhanced learning with human feedback” technology to learn how to drive, according to 2 report from China Car News.
While existing semi-autonomous driving systems are guided via set of instructions that the car’s computer system can understand and respond 3 , this new approach instead observes how cars 4 (drive) safely by real people and learns from their actions.
According to the report, DriveGPT is able to navigate difficult scenarios such as U-turns and roundabouts with an increased rate of success of”30 per cent“ compared with other autonomous driving 5 (technology).
DriveCPT is the brainchild of Haomo.ai — a company 6 (devote) to artificial intelligence, with significant 7 (finance) backing from Great Wall Motors which says it will have announcements on the technology’s progress during a 8 (present) in April 2003.
In January 2023, the company 9 (launch) Mana Oasis — the largest autonomous driving computing centre in China, 10 it says will allow its technology to self-train using large volumes of data gathered from vehicles while on the road.
答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解 第一节
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在莱茵河畔的四个典型城市。 1.推理判断题。由文章第二段“Many Rhine River Cruises begin or end in Amsterdam. This city is popular among multiple age groups and types of travelers for its relaxing atmosphere. Grab a bicycle and enjoy an afternoon of cafes, art, and historical sites. The Anne Frank House is a popular attraction in Amsterdam. Be sure to check if your river cruise can help with advance tickets as the lines are consistently long, though. (许多莱茵河游船在阿姆斯特丹开始或结束。这座城市因其轻松的氛围而受到不同年龄层和类型的游客的欢迎。抓一辆自行车,享受一个下午的咖啡馆,艺术,和历史遗迹。安妮·弗兰克之家是阿姆斯特丹一个受欢迎的景点。不过,一定要检查一下你的游船能否帮你提前订票,因为队伍总是很长。)”和文章第四段“If you’re looking for a classic European country town, this is the stop for you Strasbourg has a typical French feel, with cobblestoned streets, small shops, and of course a cathedral. Be sure to visit picturesque Petite France, the historic quarter of town, and Rohan Palace to walk in the footsteps of Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the French Revolution. Strasbourg is also a delightful place for visit for Christmas markets. (如果你正在寻找一个经典的欧洲乡村小镇,那么斯特拉斯堡是你的不二之选。斯特拉斯堡有典型的法国风情,鹅卵石铺成的街道,小商店,当然还有大教堂。一定要参观风景如画的小法兰西,历史悠久的小镇和罗汉宫,走在法国大革命前法国最后一位女王玛丽·安托瓦内特的脚步中。斯特拉斯堡也是参观圣诞集市的好地方。)”可知,阿姆斯特丹和斯特拉斯堡都有历史遗迹。故选A。 2.推理判断题。由文章第三段“This fairytale castle is in the heart of Bavaria, Germany. Situated in the Black Forest, and conjuring up(唤起) visions of princes and princesses, it is an extremely popular tourist attraction. It was in fact one of the inspirations for Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

You can enjoy several wonderful historic sights in Basel, within a short distance from each other, and don’t miss a walk through the Botanical Gardens (巴塞尔共有三个国际边界:瑞士、德国和法国,展现了文化、美食和语言的迷人结合。您可以在巴塞尔欣赏几处美妙的历史景点,彼此相距不远,也不要错过植物园的漫步)”可知,这里有不同的文化。故选D。
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了让孩子爱上阅读并不容易,但是阿尔文·艾尔比正在为此努力,他创建了理发店书屋以鼓励年轻孩子们去阅读,因为他知道阅读对于孩子的重要性。 4. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in, sat down,(一天,在布朗克斯,一个一年级的老师坐在理发店里理发,他的一个学生走了进来,坐下)”及下文“He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy (文盲).(他对自己说,这是一个练习阅读的绝佳机会,这个想法改变了阿尔文·艾尔比的生活,他在美国各地的许多理发店里摆满了免费的书,以减少儿童文盲)”可推知,阿尔文·艾尔比想到在理发店里摆满了免费的书,是因为他看到这些来理发的学生无事可做。再结合常识可知,与老师在一个空间里,多少会有些紧张。由此可知,划线词antsy与restless“坐立不安的”意思接近。故选A。 5. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines, helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend.(他在每家商店里都放了一个五颜六色的儿童书架,让孩子们喜欢。展出的书籍都是根据他的目标读者的推荐精心挑选的。书架上展示的是书的封面而不是书脊,帮助那些可能对阅读感兴趣的孩子们自己抓住机会,无论他们是坐在理发师的椅子上,还是在等爸爸或朋友)”可知,这个节目考虑到孩子们的喜好,所以很受孩子们的欢迎。故选D。 6. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.”(“我决定把它传递下去,把电子游戏扔掉,把书放在这里,只是为了让孩子们的思想活跃起来,”他说。“你想要产生影响。”)”可知,丹尼·莫想要有所作为,这让他最终放弃了电子游戏。故选B。 7. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy (文盲).(他对自己说,这是一个练习阅读的绝佳机会,这个想法改变了阿尔文·艾尔比的生活,他在美国各地的许多理发店里摆满了免费的书,以减少儿童文盲)”及下文可知,文章讲述了阿尔文·艾尔比减少儿童文盲,他创建了理发店书屋以鼓励年轻孩子们去阅读,因为他知道阅读对于孩子的重要性,他希望孩子们爱上阅读,让阅读改变他们的人生。由此可知,D. Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading(小理发店,开始阅读的宝库)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
【答案】8.D 9.B 10.C 11.B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大Yukon的路标森林。 8.词句猜测题。根据第二段“The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown: “Danville, Illinois, 2,835 miles.” Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. Each year, an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection.(这个传统始于1942年的Alaska Highway计划,当时美国士兵卡尔·K·林德利在沃森湖养伤。一位指挥官让他修理和竖立路标,在完成这项工作的同时,这位思乡的士兵在上面加了一个标志牌,标明了到他家乡的方向和距离:“伊利诺斯州丹维尔,2835英里。”其他人纷纷效仿,这一趋势开始流行起来。每年,平均有1000个新标识被添加到这个收藏中)”中“Others followed suit, and the trend caught on.”和“an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection”可推知,上文的“The tradition”是指人们开始将世界各地的标识带到路标森林。故选D项。 9.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown: “Danville, Illinois, 2,835 miles.” Others followed suit, and the trend caught on.

Fifty years later, in 1992, Lindley and his wife Elinor made the pilgrimage back to Watson Lake to place a replica, which is still there. (林德利最初的标志已经随着时间的流逝而消失了。50年后的1992年,林德利和他的妻子埃丽诺朝圣回到沃森湖,放置了一个replica,它仍然在那里)”可知,林德利最初的标志牌已经找不到了,50年后他故地重游,重新放了一个“复制品”,所以划线词与copy同义。故选C项。 11.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The Signpost Forest takes up a couple of acres, with huge panels snaking through the trees. There are street signs, welcome signs, signatures on dinner plates, and license plates from around the world. There are also a lot of familial signs (路标森林占地几英亩,巨大的面板蜿蜒穿过树木。这里有街道标志、欢迎标志、餐盘上的签名,还有来自世界各地的车牌。还有很多家族标志)”和“The forest has grown so vast that the visitor center no longer tries to keep a detailed list of the signs.(森林已经变得如此广阔,以至于游客中心不再试图保留一个详细的标志列表)”可推知,最后一段主要讲了路标森林中指示牌的数量和种类。故选B项。
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。介绍了专家对于家长对孩子依然谎称圣诞老人存在的批评态度。专家认为,父母谎称圣诞老人存在的做法对于孩子今后对于大人的信任有消极影响。 12. 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Psychologist Professor Christopher Boyle and social scientist Dr. Kathy McKay also criticize the idea employed by parents—Santa Claus judges children to be nice or naughty. (心理学家Christopher Boyle教授和社会科学家Kathy McKay博士也批评了父母的想法——圣诞老人会评判孩子是好是坏)”可知,圣诞老人评判孩子好坏的说法遭到了Kathy McKay博士的批评。故选C项。 13. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Whether it’s right to make children believe in Father Christmas is an interesting question, and it’s also interesting to ask whether lying in this way will affect children in ways that have not been considered.(让孩子们相信圣诞老人是否正确是一个有趣的问题,同样有趣的是,以这种方式撒谎是否会以未被考虑的方式影响孩子。)”和文章第一段的主题句“Making up stories about Santa risks destroying a child’s trust and is morally unbelievable, according to two experts.(两位专家表示,编造圣诞老人的故事可能会破坏孩子的信任,在道德上是令人难以置信的。)”推知,作者通过文章想表达关于圣诞老人的谎言对孩子们是有消极影响的。故选B项。 14. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The persistence of fandom(影迷) in stories like Harry Potter and Star Wars indicates their desire to briefly re-enter childhood,(《哈利·波特》和《星球大战》等故事中粉丝的持续存在表明他们渴望短暂地重新进入童年)”可知,对于《哈利·波特》和《星球大战》的持久迷恋表明成年人想再次体验童年乐趣。故选A项。 15. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Making up stories about Santa risks destroying a child’s trust and is morally unbelievable, according to two experts.(两位专家表示,编造圣诞老人的故事可能会破坏孩子的信任,在道德上是令人难以置信的。)”与第三段中“All children will eventually find out they’ve been consistently lied to for years, and this might make them wonder what other lies they’ve been told.

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
4. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
5. What did the author think of the competition
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
6. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.

Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late - that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found.
So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends And why is it so hard for us to fix it “There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.
One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take - something known as the planning fallacy(谬误). Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.
Another trait is that forever -late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. In a 2003 study run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly strung(紧张不安), achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back(漫不经心), have a higher chance to be late.
Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.
8.What does the underlined word “paradox” mean in paragraph 2
A.Strategy. B.Argument. C.Solution. D.Puzzle.
9.What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers
A.They plan to spend more time on a task.
B.They tackle more than one task at a time.
C.They suffer from concentration difficulties.
D.They have high expectations for achievements.
10.Which advice can be given to people who are always late
A.Learn to accept who you are. B.Change your personality type.
C.Divide a task into smaller ones. D.Keep to the timetable accurately.
11.What is the main idea of the text
A.Time management contributes to success.
B.Late comers should be severely punished.
C.One’s always being late is linked to personality.
D.Changing personality helps improve punctuality.

The personal grievance provisions of New Zealand’s Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA) prevent an employer from firing an employee without good cause. Instead, dismissals must be justified. Employers must both show cause and act in a procedurally fair way.
Personal grievance procedures were designed to guard the jobs of ordinary workers from “unjustified dismissals”. The premise was that the common law of contract lacked sufficient protection for workers against arbitrary conduct by management. Long gone are the days when a boss could simply give an employee contractual notice.
But these provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highly paid managers and executives. As countless boards and business owners will attest, constraining firms from firing poorly performing, high-earning managers is a handbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance. The difference between C-grade and A-grade managers may very well be the difference between business success or failure. Between preserving the jobs of ordinary workers or losing them. Yet mediocrity is no longer enough to justify a dismissal.
Consequently and paradoxically laws introduced to protect the jobs of ordinary workers may be placing those jobs at risk.
If not placing jobs at risk, to the extent employment protection laws constrain business owners from dismissing under-performing managers, those laws act as a constraint on firm productivity and therefore on workers’ wages. Indeed, in “An International Perspective on New Zealand’s Productivity Paradox” (2014), the Productivity Commission singled out the low quality of managerial capabilities as a cause of the country’s poor productivity growth record.
Nor are highly paid managers themselves immune from the harm caused by the ERA’s unjustified dismissal procedures. Because employment protection laws make it costlier to fire an employee, employers are more cautious about hiring new staff. This makes it harder for the marginal manager to gain employment. And firms pay staff less because firms carry the burden of the employment arrangement going wrong.
Society also suffers from excessive employment protections. Stringent job dismissal regulations adversely affect productivity growth and hamper both prosperity and overall well-being.
Across the Tasman Sea, Australia deals with the unjustified dismissal paradox by excluding employees earning above a specified “high-income threshold” from the protection of its unfair dismissal laws. In New Zealand, a 2016 private members’ Bill tried to permit firms and high-income employees to contract out of the unjustified dismissal regime. However, the mechanisms proposed were unwieldy and the Bill was voted down following the change in government later that year.
12.The personal grievance provisions of the ERA are intended to ________.
A.discipline dubious corporate practices
B.promote traditional hiring procedures
C.regulate the privileges of the employers
D.safeguard the rights of ordinary workers
13.It can be learned from paragraph 3 that the provisions may ________.
A.hinder business development B.justify managers’ authority
C.affect the public image of the firms D.worsen labor-management relations
14.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A.ERA’s sensible approach corresponds with the international trend of democracy.
B.The society will see a rise in well-being with the ERA’s procedures carried out.
C.Non-proficient managerial capabilities make employees suffer from salary cuts.
D.High-income threshold in Australia is relatively beneficial to business owners.
15.What’s the author’s attitude towards the personal grievance provisions issued by ERA
A.Appreciative B.Skeptical C.Optimistic D.Contradictory

Collecting must be one of the most varied of human activities, and it’s one that many of us psychologists find fascinating. Collecting hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put to much more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world. 16
There are the people who collect because they want to make money. They’ll look for, say, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit. 17 Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement. And as selling online is so easy, more and more people are joining in.
Many collectors collect to develop their social life. 18 This is a variant on joining a bridge club or a gym, and similarly brings them into contact with like-minded people.
Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this. 19 There is a danger, though, that if the individual is ever lucky enough to find what they’re looking for, rather than celebrating their success, they may feel empty, now that the goal that drove them on has gone.
20 Stamp collecting, for example, opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. Similarly, many collectors collect fossils, animals and plants from around the globe, and their collections provided a vast amount of information about the natural world. Without those collections, our understanding would be greatly reduced.
A.Why do they do it
B.But there may well be a psychological element, too.
C.Another potential reason for it is its educational value.
D.A particular example is a rare early recording by a particular singer.
E.A psychological reason for collecting is the need for a sense of control.
F.Psychologically, this can give a purpose to a life that otherwise feels aimless.
G.They attend meetings of groups collectors and exchange information on items.

Do your best, and you will do well.”(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实。她走到我面前鼓励我,说:“不要想得太多,只要把你想到的都写在画布上。尽你所能,你就会做得很好。”)”可知,别的学生已经开始画画了,但是作者还在苦苦构思;且艺术老师对作者说:“不要想太多,只要把你想到的东西画在画布上就行了。”这些都说明作者觉得这次比赛对自己来说很难,很有挑战性。故选C。 6. 词句猜测题。根据第三段“To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.(令我惊讶的是,我听到二等奖里有自己的名字。这对我来说是bolt from the blue,因为我从来不敢梦想赢得任何奖项)”可知,作者做梦都不敢想能得到任何奖品,所以听到自己获奖的消息后感到非常惊讶,划线部分表示“震惊,惊讶”,与surprise同义。故选D。 7. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.(总的来说,这段经历教会了我鼓励他人的重要性,以及几句友善的话如何对某人的生活产生重大影响)”以及文章内容可知,作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性,所以“鼓励的力量”可以作为文章标题。故选A。
【答案】8.D 9.B 10.C 11.C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了迟到的原因可能能与性格特征相关,并提出了一些相应的策略。 8.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词paradox前文的内容“There are all sorts of punishments for being late(对于迟到,有各种各样的惩罚)”和后文的内容“we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.(即使存在惩罚和后果,我们仍然会迟到)”可知,前文提出迟到了会有相应的惩罚,后文提出即使受到惩罚,但我们还是会迟到,故此处的划线词与D项“令人费解的事、难题”意思相近,迟到了会受到惩罚,令人费解的就是即使有惩罚,我们仍然会迟到,故选D。 9.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Another trait is that forever -late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers.(永远迟到的人的另一个特点可能是多重任务的)”可知,永远迟到的人的特点可能是一次要处理很多任务,是多重任务的,故选B。 10.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately.(对于那些经常低估任务的人来说,将一项任务分解成详细的步骤可以帮助人们准确地估计这项任务花的时间。)”可知,对于那些经常迟到的人,他们可以将任务分解成一些小任务,从而更好的估计任务所花费的时间,故选C。 11.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late - that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found.(任何人都可能迟到几次,但要成为一个总是迟到的人,这是一门艺术,一门令人沮丧的艺术。或者,科学家发现,这是你性格特征点副作用。)”以及后文对迟到人的特征的分析可知,本文主要介绍迟到可能是与性格相关的,故选C。
【答案】12.D 13.A 14.D 15.B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者针对新西兰《雇佣关系法》的个人申诉条款禁止雇主没有正当理由的情况下解雇员工的条款发表个人观点,他认为这一条款有利于保护普通工人的利益,但是对企业和社会的发展也带来一定的阻碍作用。 12.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Personal grievance procedures were designed to guard the jobs of ordinary workers from “unjustified dismissals.”(个人申诉程序旨在保护普通工人的工作不受“不正当解雇”的影响。)可知,个人申诉程序的目的是保护普通工人的权益。故选D项。 13.推理判断题。根据第三段“But these provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highly paid managers and executives. As countless boards and business owners will attest, constraining firms from firing poorly performing, high-earning managers is a handbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance.”(但是当这些规定适用于高新经理和高管时,会给企业带来困难。正如无数的董事会和企业主将证明的那样,限制公司解雇表现不佳,收入高的经理是提高生产率和整体业绩的一种阻碍。)可知,由于雇佣关系法的保护企业很难辞退业绩平庸的高管和经理,这就给企业的发展带来困难。故选A项。 14.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Across the Tasman Sea, Australia deals with the unjustified dismissal paradox by excluding employees earning above a specified “high-income threshold” from the protection of its unfair dismissal laws.”(在塔斯曼海对岸,澳大利亚应对不正当解雇谬论的方法,是将收入超过特定“高收入门槛”的雇员排除在其不公平解雇法的保护之外。)可知,澳大利亚的企业主不接受雇佣关系法对高收入雇员的保护,推断出澳大利亚的高收入门槛对企业主相对有利。故选D项。 15.推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“But these provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highly paid managers and executives.”(但是当这些规定适用于高薪经理和高管时,会给企业带来困难。)和第七段“Society also suffers from excessive employment protections.”(社会也遭受了过度就业保护带来的困难。)可推知,作者对于新西兰《雇佣关系法》的个人申诉条款所能带对于社会和企业的利益持有怀疑态度。故选B项。
【答案】16.A 17.B 18.G 19.F 20.C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章简要对“收集”这一爱好进行了说明。 16.根据上文“Collecting hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put to much more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world.( 收集数百甚至数千张明信片、巧克力包装纸或其他任何东西都需要时间、精力和金钱,而这些肯定可以用于更高效的用途。然而,世界各地仍有数以百万计的收藏家)”可知上文提出了一种矛盾现象,下文要对这种现象表达疑问并解释,与A项“Why do they do it ( 他们为什么这么做?)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。 17.根据下文“Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement.(低买高卖可以给收藏家一种成就感)”可知此处上下文说的是心理因素,与B项“But there may well be a psychological element, too(但很可能也有心理因素)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。 18.根据上文“Many collectors collect to develop their social life(许多收藏家为了发展他们的社交生活而收藏)”可知此处上下文说的是收藏与社交活动的关系,与G项“They attend meetings of groups collectors and exchange information on items(他们参加团体收藏家会议,并就物品交换信息)”表达的含义一致,故选G项。 19.根据上文“There are the people who collect because they want to make money.( 有些人收集是因为他们想赚钱)”、“Many collectors collect to develop their social life(许多收藏家为了发展他们的社交生活而收藏)”以及“Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this(有些人可能一生都在寻找这个)”可知,很多人收藏是有目标的,与F项“Psychologically, this can give a purpose to a life that otherwise feels aimless.( 从心理学上讲,这会给一种没有目标的生活带来一个目标)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。 20.根据下文“Stamp collecting, for example, opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. Similarly, many collectors collect fossils, animals and plants from around the globe, and their collections provided a vast amount of information about the natural world(例如,集邮为其他国家以及邮票上的植物、动物或名人打开了一扇窗户。同样,许多收藏家从世界各地收集化石、动物和植物,他们的收藏提供了大量关于自然世界的信息)”可知此处上下文说的是收藏的潜在教育价值,与C项“Another potential reason for it is its educational value(另一个潜在的原因是它的教育价值)”表达的含义一致,故选C项。

Travel has become increasingly inconvenient and sometimes impossible over the last couple of years. However, museums around the world are digitizing their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar.
The British Museum, London
The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian.

MASP, S o Paulo
The first modern museum in Brazil, the Museu de Arte de S o Paulo includes art from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The paintings, which are placed on glass panels, appear to be floating in mid-air. This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical.

When he went outside during the break, John Buettner would dream of learning the monkey-bars. He uses a wheelchair, so they aren’t accessible to him — in fact, most of the playground at Glen Lake Elementary School isn’t. Betsy Julien would look out at the students in their wheelchairs, and thought, “Our playground is not set up for everybody in the school to play and have fun.”
Now, thanks to this teacher and her students, that dream is about to come true in a bigger way.
Last fall, Julien and a few of her colleagues applied for, and won, a grant for an accessible swing and merry-go-round. The grant fell $ 35,000 short of the amount the school needed, so Julien asked her class to help raise the rest.
Her students jumped at the idea, and took it a step further. “Why can’t we make the whole playground accessible ” said Hadley Mangan. They brainstormed ideas on how to raise money: door-knocking, partnering with restaurants, handing out flyers, and even cold-calling local businesses. They got to work and reached their goal in a matter of weeks. Now, they aim to raise $1 million so they can completely transform their playground.
Last week, Julien loaded the students for a field trip to see how the equipment is built and even got to color in a blueprint of the playground design. Buettner said he could hardly believe how quickly an idea turned into reality. “All of this equipment is big enough for my friends and I to play on. I just feel some sense of capability.”
Julien speaks through tears, too, when reflecting on the project and the transformation. “Anything we raise beyond our goal will go towards accessible equipment at neighboring schools. I hope that the world is accepting and inclusive for every child.”
4. What’s the problem with the school playground
A. Little playing space. B. Limited accessibility.
C. Poor construction funding. D. Narrow wheelchair passage.
5. What does the underlined phrase “a step further” refer to
A. Donating more money. B. Achieving original goals.
C. Asking more people for help. D. Transforming the whole playground.
6. What can we infer from Buettner’s words
A. He engages more in donation. B. He has more faith in himself.
C. He becomes an expert in sports. D. He gets more involved in contests.
7. What can we learn from Julien’s story
A. Hard work matters. B. Kindness bears fruits.
C. Good ideas win favor. D. Trust promotes friendship.

In life,once on a path,we tend to follow it,for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter,we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.
This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.
Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.
The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.
Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”
8.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The experiment. B.Functional fixedness.
C.The path. D.The thinking.
9.Which way is hard to think of to complete the task
A.Tacking the candle to the wall.
B.Fixing the candle with melted wax.
C.Using the tack box as a candle-holder.
D.Lighting the candle to stand it.
10.Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with
A.People should question.
B.We should be used to the way things are.
C.People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.
D.The smarter people are,the more open to the new things they are.
11.What's the passage mainly about
A.An interesting experiment
B.A psychological phenomenon.
C.A theory to be proved.
D.The opinion of Hannah Arendt.

Have you ever noticed that some difficult situations tend to repeat themselves Does it seem as if you married or dated the same kind of person several times in different bodies with different names Have you run into the same type of boss over and over again If you don't deal well with authority figures at home, then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world.
You may try desperately to avoid these repeated difficult situations, which seem to have become your set patterns, but they will eventually catch up with you. The only way you can free yourself of them is to shift your perspective on them seriously and persistently. To face the challenge means you need to bravely accept the fact that something within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue repeatedly in your life. This is no easy task, since it means you have to change, and to change is not always easy. Staying just as you certainly is comfortable in its familiarity, but does not help you advance spiritually.
Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces you to admit that the way you have been doing things isn't working. However, the good news is that by identifying and releasing your patterns, you actually learn how to change. In order to facilitate your process of change, you will need willingness and patience.
When struggling to make a change, ask yourself, "How willing am I, really, to make this change " If you truly want to change, you will make a commitment to the process of it. If you absolutely hate getting stuck in traffic, chances are that you need a little work in the area of patience. And, chances are, you will probably get stuck in more traffic jams than someone who has patience. It is not because the universe has a sense of humor. You just notice and care about the traffic more than someone who has patience. Remember, you just need willingness and a little patience. Once you master these, you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less frightening.
12.How can you get rid of repeated difficult situations in your life
A.By trying your best to avoid those disappointing situations.
B.By taking a different attitude towards previous life.
C.By gathering up the courage to change your identity.
D.By changing your viewpoint on them with great determination.
13.What's the author's attitude towards the idea of staying just as you are
A.Disapproving. B.Skeptical C.Supportive. D.Casual
14.What does the underlined word "facilitate" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Promote B.Postpone C.Influence D.Overlook
15.What is the effect of mastering willingness and patience according to the passage
A.Guiding you to identify your old patterns.
B.Making your changes become easier.
C.Challenging you with difficult patterns.
D.Arousing your inner desire to challenge yourself.

Moving your body regularly and often is a key to good health. But for people who don’t feel the urge to exercise, sitting can become a habit that hurts the body and the brain. Here are some easy tips that will invite more movement into your routines.
Budget in some mobile breaks.
16 For example, for every hour that you’re sitting, you might expect yourself to get up for 10 minutes and move around. Schools and workplaces can be creative about building those breaks into the day.
Give yourself prompts (提示).
Are you forgetting to get up 17 Let it remind you to “break up” an hour of sitting with short breaks for something simple, says Aaron Kandola at University College London. For example, you might use the short break to empty the dishwasher or pick up the dog’s toys.
18
“If it’s nice weather, you should surely get out for a walk,” says Tatiana Warren of Just TATI in Baltimore. If the weather is bad, plan for other options.

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个博物馆以及各自的特色。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian.(大英博物馆收藏了来自世界各地的物品,包括罗塞塔石碑,其中有三种文本版本,帮助研究人员学习阅读古埃及语)”可知,大英博物馆容纳了来自不同国家的展品。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by van Gogh and Renoir.(通过谷歌艺术与文化网站的虚拟之旅,可以看到更多的近期作品,包括梵高和雷诺阿的一些作品)”可知,保罗盖蒂博物馆适合对梵高作品感兴趣的游客。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The virtual tour of the museum offers a 360-degree view of the room, allowing visitors to look at every piece. (虚拟的博物馆之旅提供了360度的房间视野,让游客可以看到每一件作品)”;第三段中“This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical. (这种设置,包括在虚拟巡回展览中,使艺术看起来几乎是神奇的)”;第四段中“There are also online exhibitions such as “Artists in Their Times” which traces trends in Korean art since the late 1970s. (在网上也有追溯70年代末以后韩国美术动向的“时代艺术家”等展览)”以及最后一段中“Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by van Gogh and Renoir.(通过谷歌艺术与文化网站的虚拟之旅,可以看到更多的近期作品,包括梵高和雷诺阿的一些作品)”可知,列出的博物馆的共同之处是可以在你自己家里参观它们。故选C。
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了John Buettner的老师和同学为了能让残疾的他和其他残疾学生 在学校操场上玩耍,发起了筹款活动,最终成功改造了操场。 4. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He uses a wheelchair, so they aren’t accessible to him — in fact, most of the playground at Glen Lake Elementary School isn’t. (他使用轮椅,所以轮椅对他来说并不方便——事实上,格伦 湖小学的大部分操场都不方便。)”可知,学校操场的问题是对于使用轮椅的人来说并不方便,即无障碍环境 有限,故选B。 5. 词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文“so Julien asked her class to help raise the rest.(所以朱利安让她的学生帮忙 筹集剩下的钱。)”和下文““Why can’t we make the whole playground accessible ” said Hadley Mangan. (“为什 么我们不能让整个操场都变得方便呢?”哈德利·曼根说。)”可知,Julien让她的学生帮忙筹集剩下的钱,她 的学生欣然接受了,并决定筹集钱把整个操场改造一下,弄得更方便,由此可推知,“a step further”指的是 改造整个操场,故选D。 6. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Buettner所说的话“I just feel some sense of capability(我只是觉得自己有能 力)”可推知,Buettner 对自己更加有信心,故选B。 7 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“When he went outside during the break, John Buettner would dream of learning the monkey-bars. He uses a wheelchair, so they aren’t accessible to him — in fact, most of the playground at Glen Lake Elementary School isn’t. (课间休息时,约翰·比特纳出去玩时,总是梦想着学习单杠。 他使用轮椅,所以轮椅对他来说并不方便——事实上,格伦湖小学的大部分操场都不方便。)”和第二段中 “Now, thanks to this teacher and her students, that dream is about to come true in a bigger way.(现在,多亏了这位 老师和她的学生,这个梦想即将以更大的方式实现。)”可知,文章主要讲述了John Buettner的老师和同学为 了能让残疾的他和其他残疾学生在学校操场上玩耍,发起了筹款活动,最终成功改造了操场。由此可推知, 从这个故事中可以得知,善良会结出果实。故选B。
【答案】8.B 9.C 10.A 11.B 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一种心理学家称之为功能固着的现象的实验。 8.代词指代题。根据前一句This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.可知这是一种心理学家称之为功能固着的现象。根据划线词所在句子This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:可知这个经典的实验将让你了解它是如何起作用的,还会让你知道你是否会掉入同样的陷阱。结合上文可知这里的it就是前文的“(functional fixedness)功能固着”,故选B项。 9.细节理解题。根据第三段中的The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. ..from functional fixedness.可知成功实现的方法就是把钉盒用作烛台。你需要把盒子清空,把它钉在墙上,然后把蜡烛放在里面。要考虑到这一点,你必须超越盒子通常的作用,不再把它看作是一个仅仅是为了图钉而设计的盒子,而是把它重新想象成一个有全新的用途的工具。这是困难的,因为我们都或多或少地承受着功能固着的痛苦。也就是说把钉盒用作烛台这个方法是很难想到的。故选C项。 10.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase…also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.”可知政治理论家汉娜·阿伦特创造了“冻结思维”一词,它用来描述我们不再质疑、但应该质疑的根深蒂固的想法。阿伦特认为,自满的依赖这些公认的事实使人们对不符合他们世界观的想法视而不见,即使有足够的证据支持这些想法。由此可以推断汉娜·阿伦特会赞同“人们需要质疑”这个想法。故选A项。 11.主旨大意题。文章第一段提出存在着一种心理学家称之为功能固着的现象。后几段介绍了一个经典实验让读者了解功能固着这种心理现象是如何起作用的,最后介绍了汉娜·阿伦特创造了“冻结思维”一词,用来描述我们不再质疑、但应该质疑的根深蒂固的想法。全文都围绕着功能固着这一心理现象在描写。故选B项。
【答案】12.D 13.A 14.A 15.B 【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章认为面对生活中反复出现的困境,我们应该通过下定决心改变观点来摆脱,通过坚定的耐心和意愿来促进改变。 12.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The only way you can free yourself of them is to shift your perspective on them seriously and persistently.”(唯一能让你摆脱它们的方法就是认真而持久地改变你对它们的看法。)可知,你可以通过下定决心改变你的观点来摆脱生活中反复出现的困境。故选D。 13.推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“This is no easy task, since it means you have to change, and to change is not always easy. Staying just as you certainly is comfortable in its familiarity, but does not help you advance spiritually. ”(这不是一项容易的任务,因为这意味着你必须改变,而改变并不总是容易的。待在熟悉的环境中,你当然感到舒适,但这并不能帮助你在精神上进步。)可知,作者对保持原样的态度是不赞同的。故选A。 14.词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“you will need willingness and patience”(你需要意愿和耐心)可知,此处是指需要用意愿和耐心来促进改变。所以facilitate意为“促进”。故选A。 15.细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Once you master these, you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less frightening.”(一旦你掌握了这些,你很可能会发现识别和释放你的模式的挑战就不再那么可怕了。)和第二句 “If you truly want to change, you will make a commitment to the process of it.”(如果你真的想要改变,你就要对改变的过程做出承诺。)可知,根据文章,掌握意愿和耐心的效果是使你的改变变得更容易。故选B。
【答案】16.F 17.C 18.B 19.D 20.E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。久坐不利于身体健康,因此我们应该多运动。本文主要介绍了四条如何在日常生活中多动少坐的建议。 16.根据本标题“Budget in some mobile breaks.”(一些移动休息时间的预算。)可知,本段主要介绍要多给自己移动休息的时间, 下文“For example, for every hour that you’re sitting, you might expect yourself to get up for 10 minutes and move around.”(例如,你坐着的每一个小时,你可能希望自己起床10分钟并且四处走动。)举例子说明要设定一些目标,F项“有意识地努力并设定简单的目标”符合。故选F。 17. 根据本段的小标题“Give yourself prompts (提示).”(给自己一些提示)及空后“Let it remind you to ‘break up’ an hour of sitting with short breaks for something simple...”(让它提醒你为了一些简单的事情“打破”一个小时的坐着和短暂的休息)可知,要给自己一些提示,空处应该具体介绍下文的“it”,C项“如果有必要的话,你可以设置一个闹钟”符合,这是一种提示,下文it代指选项中an alarm clock。故选C。 18. 根据本段的内容““If it’s nice weather, you should surely get out for a walk,” says Tatiana Warren of Just TATI in Baltimore. If the weather is bad, plan for other options. You can dance around the room or jog in place a bit. ”(巴尔的摩Just TATI的塔蒂亚娜 沃伦(Tatiana Warren)表示: “如果天气不错,你肯定应该出去散散步。”如果天气不好,计划其他选择。你可以在房间里跳舞或者原地慢跑。)可知,本段主要讲述在现有的条件下尽可能运动,故B项“ 利用你所拥有的。”符合本段主题。故选B。 19. 下文“For example, the Lake County YMCA in Ohio has free 8-to 12-minute kids’ yoga videos. Their themes include Star Wars, dinosaurs and the jungle.”(例如,俄亥俄州的莱克县基督教青年会(Lake County YMCA)就有8到12分钟的免费儿童瑜伽视频。他们的主题包括星球大战,恐龙和丛林。)举例说明可以在网上看一些有关运动的视频,D项“或者可以尝试网上的运动短视频”符合。故选D。 20. 根据空前“Warren says her cousins’ family likes to play board games. But they often stand to reach for something or even jump during the games.”(沃伦说她表亲的家人喜欢玩棋类游戏。但是他们经常站着去拿东西,甚至在比赛中跳起来。)可知,沃伦的家人不会一动不动地一直坐着,E项“她说没有人长时间一动不动地坐着”符合。故选E。

Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built in his front yard one day would have the global impact it does today.
Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post and he put it in his yard as a free community library to remember his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol’s design gave birth to Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small, accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors are invited to share a book, leave a book, or both. Today, there are over 50,000 of these libraries registered in 70 countries.
Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shape and makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can create their own library boxes; therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be no limit to the possibilities. One library in California was built out of a used wine container; another in Texas had tiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL’s website. The LFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates (坐标) and other information. Owners receive a sign saying “Little Free Library”.
People say they have been attracted to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, out of curiosity and because it’s convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors since having a little library in their front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringing communities together. “It’s started a neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortable with their neighbors,” he says. “This leads to them helping each other.”
4. What does the underlined word “design” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A community center. B. A dollhouse on a post.
C. A book exchange box. D. A nonprofit organization.
5. What can we learn about the operation of a Little Free Library
A. There is no limit to the selection of books.
B. The library can come in any shape and color.
C. The library needs to hire many professional librarians.
D. The owner must first be assigned a number from the LFL website.
6. What can be inferred about Little Free Library
A. It helps improve GPS functions. B. It connects libraries around the world.
C. It makes reading accessible to the poor. D. It helps restore human connections.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. LFL: A Booster to Shared Reading B. LFL: The Best Place to Meet Neighbors
C. Todd Bol: A Successful Book Businessman D. Reading: An Approach to Improving Yourself

Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “profound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills. Instead, people find themselves in a state of “superficial boredom”, which does not motivate creative thought.
Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, “The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development.
Researchers interviewed 15 people during the pandemic (流行病), when boredom was more likely because of restrictions. Many described being trapped in regularly daily walks and watching television, with many turning to social media to pass the time. But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time.
The pandemic was a painful and consuming experience for thousands of less fortunate people. But there are stories of those in lockdown who found new hobbies, careers or directions in life. Switching off devices could help people reach the state of boredom which pushes them on to new hobbies or achievements.
This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things.

Conservationists go to war over whether humans are the measure of nature’s value. New Conservationists argue such trade-offs are necessary in this human dominated era. And they support “re-wilding”, a concept originally proposed by Soule where people reduce economic growth and withdraw from landscapes, which then return to nature.
New Conservationists believe the withdrawal could happen together with economic growth. The California-based Breakthrough Institute believes in a future where most people live in cities and rely less on natural resources for economic growth.
They would get food from industrial agriculture, including genetically modified foods, desalination intensified meat production and aquaculture (水产养殖), all of which have a smaller land footprint. And they would get their energy from renewables and natural gas.
Driving these profound shifts would be greater efficiency of production, where more products could be manufactured from fewer inputs. And some unsustainable commodities would be replaced in the market by other, greener ones-natural gas for coal, for instance, explained Michael Heisenberg., president of the Breakthrough Institute. Nature would, in essence, be decoupled from the economy.
And then he added a warning: “We are not suggesting decoupling as the pattern to save the world, or that it solves all the problems.”
Cynics (悲观者) may say all this sounds too utopian, but Breakthrough maintains the world is already on this path toward decoupling. Nowhere is this more evident than in the United Sates, according to Iddo Wernick, a research scholar at the Rockefeller University, who has examined the nation’s use of 100 main commodities.
Wernick and his colleagues looked at data carefully from the U. S. Geological Survey National Minerals Information Center, which keeps a record of commodities used from 1900 through the present day. They found that the use of 36 commodities (sand, iron ore, cotton etc.) in the U. S. Economy had peaked.
Another 53 commodities (nitrogen, timber, beef, etc.) are being used more efficiently per dollar value of gross domestic product than in the pre-1970s era. Their use would peak soon, Wernick said.
Only 11 commodities (industrial diamond, indium, chicken, etc.) are increasing in use (Greenwire, Nov. 6), and most of these are employed by industries in small quantities to improve systems processes. Chicken use is rising because people are eating less beef, a desirable development since poultry cultivation has a smaller environmental footprint.
The numbers show the United States has not intensified resource consumption since the1970s even while increasing its GDP and population, said Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University.
“It seems like the 20th-century expectation we had, we were always assuming the future involved greater consumption of resources,” Ausubel said. “But what we are seeing in the developed countries is, of course, peaks.”
12. What does the underlined word “trade-offs” refer to in the first paragraph
A. The difficult situation of economies growth.
B. The profitability of import and export trade.
C. The balance between human development and natural ecology.
D. The consumption of natural resources by industrial development.
13. Which of the following is true of the views of the new environmentalists
A. They believe that mankind should limit economic growth.
B. They believe that mankind is the master of the whole universe.
C. They believe that mankind should live in forests with rich vegetation.
D. They believe that mankind will need more natural resources in the future.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph of the passage
A. Natural resources cannot support economic development.
B. All resource consumption in developed countries has reached a peak.
C. More resource consumption will not occur in a certain period of time.
D. Excessive resource consumption will not affect the ecological environment.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Urbanization and re-wildness.
B. Human existence and industrial development.
C. Commodity trading and raw material development.
D. Socioeconomic development and resource consumption.

How to make a cooking video on TikTok
You may think sharing your cooking videos on TikTok isn’t a big deal. 16 We’ve asked some experts for tips on how to film, edit and post cooking videos on TikTok.
Keep it simple
“Simplicity is key when creating food content on TikTok,” says MacKenzie Smith, creator of Grilled Cheese Social. 17 “My Baked Feta Pasta that went viral (走红) earlier this year is a good example of how simple food trends can take over the social landscape,” says Smith.
Show off kitchen skills
18 Film something you do special or share a helpful tip some viewers may not know. Smith, who’s partnering the National Mango Board, says she’s been starting all her videos for the campaign with a demonstration of the best mango cutting technique.
Film from different angles
If you have two smartphones or cameras, try setting them up on tripods (三脚架) at different angles, so you can edit with a diversity of different shots, both overhead and from another good point. Only have one device No worries. 19
Break the rules
Just like cooking, the rules of TikTok are meant to be broken. So if you want your viewers to keep coming back to your videos, never be afraid of trying creative ideas. 20 Make what you want to make. Who knows what will become a trend, and what was a waste of your time
A.Actually, it isn’t as easy as you think.
B.Keep your videos between 30 and 60 seconds.
C.Consider filming your content in natural lighting.
D.Film various parts of your cooking from a few perspectives.
E.That’s because the golden rule of social media is to be creative.
F.An approachable recipe is key to connecting with a larger audience.
G.Before leaping into full-on recipes, consider showing off your cooking skills.

【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。社交媒体扼杀了由于无事可做而产生的创造性幻想,通过研究分析其原因发现:深度无聊能激发创造性思维,使人们去追求新的激情或技能。所以处于无聊的状态对于我们是一件好事。 8. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the ‘dream bird that hatches the egg of experience’. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. (德国哲学家沃尔特 本雅明曾指出,无聊是‘孵出经验之蛋的梦想之鸟’。然而,研究人员认为,通常由于无事可做而产生的创造性幻想正在被社交媒体扼杀。)”可知,在文章开头提到本雅明的话是为了引出关于“boredom”的话题,引起读者对相关研究的关注。故选A项。 9. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, ‘The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development.’ (巴斯大学研究小组的负责人蒂莫西·希尔博士说:‘我们观察到的问题是,社交媒体可以缓解表面上的无聊。但这也会消耗时间和精力,并可能阻止人们进入一种深层无聊的状态,在那里他们可能会发现新的激情。深层无聊听起来像是一个消极的概念,但事实上,如果人们有机会不受干扰地思考和发展,它可能是非常积极的。’)”可知,Dr Timothy Hill认为:沉迷再社交媒体使人看似不再无聊,实则使人失去了进入深层无聊的状态的机会,而深层无聊可能会使人发现新的激情。由此推知,他会赞同“深层无聊是有价值的”这一观点。故选A项。 10. 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time. (但是,尽管参与者表示,社交媒体让他们暂时摆脱了表面上的无聊,但它似乎也exacerbate了这种无聊,让他们觉得自己在浪费时间。)”可知,上半句表示:社交媒体让他们暂时摆脱了表面上的无聊,但是没有真正摆脱无聊,所以反而会使这个现象更严重,worsen与exacerbate意思相近,故选D项。 11. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the ‘dream bird that hatches the egg of experience’. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. (德国哲学家沃尔特 本雅明曾指出,无聊是‘孵出经验之蛋的梦想之鸟’。研究人员认为,通常由于无事可做而产生的创造性幻想正在被社交媒体扼杀。盲目地浏览吸引眼球的帖子和视频可以防止‘深度无聊’,而这种无聊会驱使人们去追求新的激情或技能)”和最后一段“This research has given us a window to understand how the ‘always-on’, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things. (这项研究为我们提供了一个窗口,让我们了解‘全天候’的文化和承诺提供丰富信息和娱乐的设备如何解决我们表面上的无聊,但实际上却阻止我们找到更有意义的事情。)”可知,本文介绍了一个针对“无聊”进行的研究,分析了其中原因,发现:深度无聊能激发创造性思维,使人们去追求新的激情或技能,所以处于无聊的状态,对于我们是一件好事,故“Why being bored may be good for you”适合做文章的标题。故选C项。
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新保护主义者的“重野化”概念。 12. 词句猜测题。根据前文“Conservationists go to war over whether humans are the measure of nature’s value. (自然资源保护主义者就人类是否是自然价值的衡量标准展开了战争)”可知,自然资源保护主义者倡导权衡人类与自然关系,结合后文“And they support “re-wilding”, a concept originally proposed by Soule where people reduce economic growth and withdraw from landscapes, which then return to nature. (他们还支持“再野生化”,这一概念最初是由索勒提出的,即人们减少经济增长,退出自然景观,然后回归自然)”可知,他们提倡人们减少经济增长,退出自然景观,然后回归自然。由此推知,他们认为这种人与自然的平衡是必要的,trade-offs指的是人类发展与自然生态的平衡。故选C。 13. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“New Conservationists believe the withdrawal could happen together with economic growth. The California-based Breakthrough Institute believes in a future where most people live in cities and rely less on natural resources for economic growth. (新环保主义者认为,退出可以与经济增长一起发生。总部位于加州的突破研究所相信,未来大多数人将生活在城市,经济增长对自然资源的依赖将减少)”可推知,新环保主义者认为人类应该限制经济增长。故选A。 14. 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It seems like the 20th-century expectation we had, we were always assuming the future involved greater consumption of resources,” Ausubel said. “But what we are seeing in the developed countries is, of course, peaks.” (奥苏贝尔说:“这似乎就像我们20世纪的预期,我们总是假设未来会消耗更多的资源。”“但我们在发达国家看到的,当然是峰值。”)”可断,现在的资源消耗是峰值,由此推知,在一段时间内不会出现更多的资源消耗。故选C。 15. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是前两段的内容可知,这篇短文主要讨论了新保护主义者的观点,他们认为人类是衡量自然价值的标准,提倡“重野化”概念,即人们应限制经济增长,减少对自然资源的依赖,提高生产效率,并从自然景观中退出,让自然回归。因此,文章主要和社会经济发展、资源消耗有关。故选D。

Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway — and in her determination to spend hours practicing one of Chopin’s compositions which is known for being “stretchy”, wound up injuring herself.
“I would just go to pieces,” the Southern Methodist University junior recalled. “There were just too many octaves. I wondered whether I was just going to play Bach and Mozart for the rest of my life.”
The efforts of SMU keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that. Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to incorporate smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi reflected on the first time she tried one of the smaller keyboards: “I remember being really excited because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes,” she said. Ever since, “I haven’t had a single injury, and I can practice as long as I want.”
For decades, few questioned the size of the conventional piano. If someone’s hand span was less than 8.5 inches — the distance considered ideal to comfortably play an octave — well, that’s just how it was.
Those who attempt “stretchy” passages either get used to omitting notes or risk tendon (腱) injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of jazz musicians, she instead favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a doctorate in musical arts.
A few years after joining SMU’s music faculty in 1996, the decorated pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about the smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely renew her life and career.
In 2000, she received a grant to retrofit a department Steinway to accommodate a smaller keyboard, and the benefits were immediate. In addition to relieving injury caused by overextended fingers, she said, it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classic compositions taken for granted by larger-handed counterparts.
Smaller keyboards instill many with new confidence. It’s not their own limitations that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitations of the instruments themselves. For those devoted to a life of making music, it’s as if a cloud has suddenly lifted.
4. What is the similarity between Eliana Yi and Carol Leone
A. Their interest in jazz extended to classical music.
B. Short hand span used to restrict their music career.
C. They both joined SMU’s music faculty years ago.
D. Romantic-era composers’ music was easy for them.
5. Why did SMU initiate an effort to scale down the piano
A. To reduce the number of octaves.
B. To incorporate Bach into its music program.
C. To provide fair opportunities for piano majors.
D. To encourage pianists to spend more hours practicing.
6. How did Yi probably feel when she played the retrofitted piano
A. Confident. B. Frustrated. C. Challenging. D. Determined.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Who Qualifies as an Ideal Pianist B. Traditional or Innovative Piano
C. Hard-working Pianists Pays off D. The Story behind Retrofitted Pianos

It’s no secret that non-alcoholic beer tastes much worse than regular beer, but scientists in Denmark now claim to have developed a way of making it taste just as satisfying.
What non-alcoholic beer lacks is the flavor from hops (啤酒花). When you remove the alcohol from the beer, for example by heating it up, you also kill the flavor that comes from hops. Other methods for making alcohol-free beer also lead to poor flavor because alcohol is needed for hops to pass their unique flavor to the beer.
“After years of research, we have found a way to produce monoterpenoids (单萜), which provide the flavor, and then add them to the beer at the end of the process of making beer to give back its lost flavor. No one has been able to do this before, so it’s a game changer for non-alcoholic beer,” the Danish professor added.
This method of artificially recreating the flavor of hops using monoterpenoids is currently being tested in factories producing across Denmark, and the plan is to have a plan ready for the country’s entire beer industry by the end of October.
Although non-alcoholic beer has been growing in popularity at a very rapid pace, the new thing announced by Sotirios Kampranis and his team could have major meaning for the entire beer industry and our environment. Growing hops is a very wasteful process, with one kilogram of hops requiring no less than 2.7 tons of water.
“With our method, we skip hops and the water and the transportation. This means that one kilogram of hops can be produced with more than 10,000 times less water and more than 100 times less CO2,” Kampranis said. “When the monoterpenoids are released from yeast, we collect them and put them into the beer, giving back the taste of regular beer that so many of us know and love.” he added.
8.What plays a key role in making beer
A.Hops. B.Water. C.CO2. D.Patience.
9.What can we learn about the new non-alcoholic beer
A.It is the best beer in the market. B.It has been produced in many countries.
C.It has the same taste with the traditional beer. D.It is very popular with the young in Denmark.
10.What does Kampranis think the new non-alcoholic beer
A.It is a process filled with waste. B.It is environmentally friendly.
C.It needs better transportation. D.It gets an unexpected response.
11.In which section can we read this text in a newspaper
A.Sports. B.Culture. C.Education. D.Technology.

Cyberspace (网络空间)is constantly developing and presenting new opportunities, as the desire of businesses to quickly adopt new technologies, such as using the Internet to open new channels and adopting cloud services, provides vast opportunity. But, it also brings unexpected risks and unintended consequences that can have a potentially negative effect.
Hardly a day goes by without news of a new cyber threat. Unfortunately, businesses tend to misjudge how much risk they face from cyber-crimes and how quickly this risk can develop. For them, the commercial, reputational and financial risks that go with cyberspace presence are real and growing every day.
So all businesses need to do now is establish cyber security within their organization, right
Establishing cyber security alone is not enough. Nowadays, it is not very difficult for attackers to break security and stop the overall business system. Preventive measures are not enough to stop them. With the advancement of technology, hackers (黑客)have been changing and developing. So business risk management should include risk resilience (复原力)so that businesses can respond to any damaging cyberspace activity. Cyber resilience helps businesses successfully recover to their pre-attack business processes and business operations.
Building cyber resilience is not easy. A key finding of an authentic cyber-resilience report is that no organisation can respond effectively on its own to the threats from cyberspace. Organisations must work together to share intelligence and resources. In this way, the quality, usability and authenticity of intelligence will be greatly improved.
12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To describe the development of cyberspace.
B.To show the great contributions from business.
C.To explain the technologies adopted by businesses.
D.To draw attention to potential dangers from cyberspace.
13.What's the author's concern about the businesses
A.Awareness of safety.
B.Financial conditions.
C.Commercial management.
D.Judgement of development.
14.Why is cyber resilience currently necessary
A.It can prevent attacks.
B.Threats are always transforming.
C.Cyber security doesn't work now.
D.It keeps all the hackers off the internet.
15.What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A.An organization alone can build effective resilience.
B.True resilience requires joined efforts from organizations.
C.There is a great amount of difficulty in building resilience.
D.The cyberspace threat is nothing when cooperation is used.

What makes a work of architecture great Most people would argue that aesthetics (美感) are the most important. 16 However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.
Constructed entirely of granite—a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it’s more likely to survive an earthquake. 17 It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
18 Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design—there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building. 19
Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in. 20
A.The library is also sustainable.
B.It is true that beauty is critical.
C.This is not the only concern of the architects.
D.The library was designed with functionality in mind.
E.It softens the lines of the structure and helps it to fit into its natural surroundings.
F.Plus,the library was built on the edge of the city park,surrounded by native plants.
G.Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.

Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.
4. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the story behind. B. To arouse the readers’ interest.

It’s becoming increasingly vital for individuals to cultivate strong critical thinking skills. Critical thinking involves analyzing information and evidence in a clear, logical, and unbiased way. It’s the ability to ask relevant questions, evaluate information, and come to well-reasoned conclusions.
One of the key benefits of critical thinking is that it can help us make better decisions. By analyzing information carefully, we can avoid making hasty or impulsive decisions that we may later regret. Instead, we can make well-informed choices that are backed by evidence and logical reasoning.
Critical thinking is also essential for academic success. College and university courses require students to read and analyze texts, synthesize information from different sources, and present evidence-based arguments. Without the ability to think critically, students may struggle to excel in their coursework and may be unable to engage in meaningful debates and discussions.
Moreover, strong critical thinking skills are necessary for success in the workplace. Many employers look for individuals who can provide well-reasoned solutions to complex problems, think creatively, and make sound judgments. Critical thinking skills enable us to consider various options and outcomes and weigh the pros and cons of each before arriving at a decision.
Finally, critical thinking is crucial for participation in civic life and democracy. Informed citizens need to be able to evaluate information from different sources and decide which sources are reliable. They need to be able to question assumptions, separate fact from opinion, and make well-reasoned decisions when voting or participating in public debate.
Critical-thinking skills are essential for success in many areas of life. They enable us to make better decisions, excel academically and professionally, and participate effectively in civic life. Therefore, it’s important for individuals to cultivate and develop these skills throughout their lives.
8.Why are strong critical thinking skills essential for academic success
A.Because academic courses require students to memorize information from different sources.
B.Because academic courses require students to engage in debates and discussions.
C.Because academic courses require students to analyze and synthesize information from different sources and present evidence-based arguments.
D.Because academic courses require students to avoid learning from different sources.
9.Why are critical thinking skills necessary for success in office
A.Because employers need individuals who supply evidence and reasoning to arrive at conclusions.
B.Because employers look for individuals who can’t provide well-reasoned solutions to complex problems.
C.Because employers want individuals who can make right and impulsive decisions.
D.Because employers try to gain individuals who provide reasoned solutions to problems, think creatively, and so forth.
10.Why is critical thinking crucial for participation in civic life and democracy
A.Because it’s dispensable for informed citizens to evaluate information from different sources.
B.Because informed citizens need become capable of question-assumptions, separate fact from opinion, etc.
C.Because civic life and democracy do require individuals to be informed in advance.
D.Because informed citizens neglect evidence and proof when participating in public debate.

A.The Importance of Exercise for Academic Success
B.The Power of Positive Thinking for Workplace Success
C.The Significance of Critical Thinking Skills
D.The Art of Persuasion in Civic Life

A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good.
“A myth seems to have built up that leaving pumpkins in woods helps wildlife, but behind it are many hidden issues.” said Paul Bunton, engagement and communication officer at The Woodland Trust, according to The Telegraph.
One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs(刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. However, eating pumpkin is harmful to their little hedgehog stomachs, leading to diarrhea and dehydration. This means they may struggle to put on weight, and in some cases can even be fatal.
Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. “Pumpkin flesh can have a really harmful effect on woodland soils,plants, and fungi(真菌),” Bunton pointed out.
So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31 Most experts recommend composting (堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wasted. Either way, the hedgehogs will thank vou.
12.What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 1
A.Processed. B.Recycled. C.Deserted. D.Preserved.
13.Why do hedgehogs try to eat so many pumpkins in early November
A.To enjoy the sweet food. B.To fill their stomachs.
C.To prepare for the winter. D.To improve their health.
14.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The additional nutrients in the leftover pumpkins.
B.The damages of candles and plastic in the pumpkins.
C.The attraction of the rotting leftovers to some wildlife.
D.Further explanation of the effect of leftover pumpkins.
15.What are people advised to do with the leftover pumpkins after Halloween .
A.Stop leaving your pumpkins in the woods.
B.Keep your beautiful pumpkin creations at home.
C.Feed the hedgehogs with the leftover pumpkins.
D.Bury the pumpkins leftover deep under the ground.

How to Turn Your Dreams into a Reality
Do you have dreams, visions or plans about things you’d love to have or achieve Of course you do! We all do. Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. 16 The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be. Follow this process to bring your dreams to fruition (实现):
Turn your dream into a goal.
When you have a goal, you have a true target. For a greater chance of success, your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable. 17 Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic. If you feel that your goal is unreasonable, it’s much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.
Prioritize (优先化) your goal daily.
18 You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day. Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.
19
Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. 20 You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.
A.Read and write your goal each day.
B.Make a list of negative associations.
C.Classify (将……分类) your available resources.
D.Tracking is critical to making continued progress.
E.Turning those dreams into a reality is the challenge.
F.It has been said that dreams are goals without a deadline.
G.So make a list of all the negative stuff that slip into your mind.

【答案】8.C 9.D 10.B 11.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了批判性思维能力在生活的许多领域的重要性。 8.细节理解题。根据第三段中“College and university courses require students to read and analyze texts, synthesize information from different sources, and present evidence-based arguments.(学院和大学课程要求学生阅读和分析文本,综合不同来源的信息,并提出基于证据的论点。)”可知,强大的批判性思维能力对学术成功至关重要的原因是因为学术课程要求学生分析和综合来自不同来源的信息,并提出基于证据的论点。故选C项。 9.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Many employers look for individuals who can provide well-reasoned solutions to complex problems, think creatively, and make sound judgments.(许多雇主都在寻找能够为复杂问题提供合理解决方案、创造性思维和做出正确判断的人。)”可知,批判性思维技能是办公室成功的必要条件的原因是因为雇主想要的是那些能为问题提供合理的解决方案、创造性思维的人。故选D项。 10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Informed citizens need to be able to evaluate information from different sources and decide which sources are reliable. They need to be able to question assumptions, separate fact from opinion, and make well-reasoned decisions when voting or participating in public debate.(知情的公民需要能够评估来自不同来源的信息,并决定哪些来源是可靠的。他们需要能够质疑假设,区分事实和观点,并在投票或参与公共辩论时做出合理的决定。)”可知,批判性思维对参与公民生活和民主至关重要的原因是因为知情的公民需要具备质疑假设、区分事实和观点等能力。故选B项。 11.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Critical-thinking skills are essential for success in many areas of life. They enable us to make better decisions, excel academically and professionally, and participate effectively in civic life. Therefore, it’s important for individuals to cultivate and develop these skills throughout their lives.(批判性思维能力在生活的许多领域都是成功的关键。它们使我们能够做出更好的决定,在学术和专业上脱颖而出,并有效地参与公民生活。因此,对个人来说,在一生中培养和发展这些技能是很重要的。)”以及全文可知,文章主要介绍了批判性思维能力在生活的许多领域的重要性。C项“批判性思维技能的重要性”符合题意。故选C项。
【答案】12.C 13.C 14.D 15.A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里所产生的不良影响,建议人们不要把南瓜丢弃到树林里。 12.词句猜测题。划线词句前文“A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. (社交媒体上有越来越多的帖子建议人们在10月31日之后把万圣节南瓜丢到树林里喂野生动物,这让野生动物专家感到担忧。)”说明有很多万圣节南瓜丢弃在了树林里,从而推知划线词句“Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. (成千上万的南瓜被discarded在英国各地的树林里。)”中划线词汇意思应为“丢弃”。故选C项。 13.细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs(刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. (其中一个主要问题是,万圣节南瓜的剩余部分经常被已经在挣扎的刺猬吃掉。在11月初,刺猬会尽可能地增重以度过冬眠期。)”可知,刺猬在11月初吃那么多南瓜是为冬天做准备。故选C项。 14.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. (此外,万圣节剩下的南瓜可能含有蜡烛和塑料装饰品,如果被误食,对野生动物也是致命的。腐烂的剩菜还会吸引不太受欢迎的野生动物,如老鼠,来到一个区域。林地信托基金会表示,南瓜中额外的营养物质也会对土壤平衡产生负面影响。)”可知,本段主要对剩余南瓜的不良影响作进一步解释。故选D项。 15.推理判断题。根据第一段中“While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good. (虽然好心的南瓜雕刻者可能认为他们是在为当地的动物群体做一件好事,但把你剩下的南瓜灯丢弃到森林里实际上是弊大于利。)”和最后一段“So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31 Most experts recommend composting (堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wasted.(那么,在10月31日之后,你应该如何处理雕刻精美的南瓜呢?大多数专家建议,如果可以的话,可以自己在家里堆肥,或者询问当地农场是否接受捐赠。你甚至可以尝试一些科学实验,从浪费的垃圾中产生更多的能量)”推知,文章建议人们不要把万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里。故选A项。
【答案】16.E 17.F 18.A 19.C 20.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。每个人都有自己的梦想,那么怎么能把梦想变为现实呢?本文提出了一些可行性建议。 16.上文“Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. (不幸的是,有梦想是一件轻松的事情)”说明有梦想是件容易的事。空处和前文为转折关系,并且引出下文。E项中的challenge和前文中的easy是相反的意思,说明有梦想容易,但是把梦想转变成现实是一个挑战。故选E。 17.下文“Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. (给你自己设定一个梦想实现的截止日期,然后事情就会逐渐开始进行)”说明给梦想设置截止日期,那么梦想就会慢慢实现。空处呼应本段标题,引出下文。F项中的goals和本段主题相呼应,“without a deadline”和下文中的“setting a deadline”相呼应,表明有人认为梦想就是没有最后期限的目标,但实际上我们要给它设定一个截止日期。故选F。 18.小标题“Prioritize your goal daily (每天优先考虑你的目标)”说明本段主要给出了每天优先考虑你的目标的建议。空处进一步说明怎样优先考虑你的目标。A项“每天读写你的目标”符合语境。故选A。 19.下文“Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.(看看你列出的清单,看看你生活中已经有什么可以帮助你走上正轨)”说明本段建议把可利用的资源列成目录分类,然后看在你生活中所能帮助你的那些资源。C项“对可用资源进行分类。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。 20.小标题“Track your progress.(跟踪你的进度)”以及空前“Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. (衡量你每天的进步。使用老式的纸和铅笔,或者使用最新的智能手机应用程序)”说明本段所给建议为每天都追踪你的进度。空处表明这种方法的重要性。D项中的Tracking 和主旨句相呼应,说明追踪对于取得持续进展至关重要。故选D。

“Did you forget your name ” someone asked me at a networking event a few years ago after it took me almost a minute to say it. “No, I stutter (口吃),” I politely replied. This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset.
I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.
But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide. It was the first time I’d met so many other professionals who stutter—lawyers, doctors, actors, etc.—all in one place. To my surprise, everyone spoke without fear or embarrassment. In fact, they were proud. Stuttering was celebrated. That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay.
The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s still frustrating when I know exactly what I want to say but I just can’t seem to get the words out of my mouth. But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.
4.By saying “I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it”, the author means ________.
A.he was once an outgoing person
B.he regretted talking about his stuttering
C.he used to avoid opening up about his stuttering
D.he was unwilling to receive comments on his speech
5.How did the National Stuttering Association meeting influence the author
A.He began to make friends with stutterers.
B.He learned some skills at stopping stuttering there.
C.It made him focus his attention on good comments.
D.The confident stutterers changed his attitude to stuttering.
6.What happened after the author started bringing up his stuttering
A.He has improved his work performance.
B.He became popular among his co-workers.
C.He learned to express himself with simple words.
D.He was able to build a close relationship with others.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text

When the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began last Friday, Steve and Janet Kistler of Hart County, Kentucky, joined in. They’ve done so every year since the now-global tradition began 25 years ago.
For Moira Dalibor, who teaches math at a school, this was the first count. She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum (植物园) for an exercise in data-gathering. They were among hundreds of thousands of people around the world counting and recording over four days. Last year, about 385,000 people from 192 countries took part in the GBBC.
This global data goes into the eBird database used by scientists for research on bird populations, which have declined sharply overall in past decades. It’s part of a rise in “citizen science” projects in which volunteers collect data about the natural world for use by researchers.
Many bird-watchers use eBird year-round, and it has collected huge amounts of data — often between 1 million and 2 million bird checklists a month from around the world in the past couple of years, says Becca Rodomsky-Bish, the project’s leader at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, New York. “Observing birds is a good way to connect with the natural world. Birds are everywhere. You don’t have to leave your house. They will come. And they’re charismatic because they’re fun and interesting to watch.”
This is how it works: Participants watch birds, whether that means looking out of the window for 15 minutes or taking a longer trip to a nature area. Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics. Many participants also carry field guides and binoculars (双筒望远镜) along with their phones. They then enter the findings into the eBird app. Those numbers help researchers track the ups and downs of various species, which then help determine the direction of conservation efforts.
Dalibor prepared her classes with information about local species and practiced with the Merlin app. The kids recorded bird sightings with pencils and drawing boards, and parent volunteers entered those numbers on phones.
12.Why did Dalibor lead her students to an arboretum
A.To do exercise for health. B.To observe different plants.
C.To practice their math skills. D.To collect information about birds.
13.What does the underlined word “charismatic” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Attractive. B.Beautiful. C.Rare. D.Shy.
14.What can people use the Merlin bird ID app to do
A.To record their findings. B.To identify different birds.
C.To help determine the birds’ habitat. D.To track the ups and downs of various species.
15.What’s the best title of the text
A.Great Backyard Bird Count: a strange activity
B.Watching birds contributes to students’ education
C.Moira Dalibor: a pioneer and responsible teacher
D.Great Backyard Bird Count shows power of citizen science

Could looking through trees be the view to a greener future Trees replacing the clear glass in your windows is not a work of science fiction. It's happening now.
Forest Products Laboratory researcher Junyong Zhu together with colleagues from the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has developed a transparent wood material that may be the window of tomorrow. Researchers found that transparent wood has the potential to outperform glass currently used in construction in nearly every way.
While glass is the most common material used in window construction, it comes with quite a few bad consequences. Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year, without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass.
The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure. The wood is then penetrated(注入)with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.
Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass. cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions.
With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer.
12.What is the main problem with glass used in window construction
A.It is inefficient in letting heat out.
B.It does not reflect light and heat.
C.It cause a high ecological cost
D.It is inconvenient to transport.
13.What does the underlined part "a bleach solution" refer to
A.A liquid to make objects white.
B.A process to solve problems.
C.A container to store liquids.
D.A way to make colors fade.
14.What does paragraph 4 focus on
A.How to make things transparent
B.How to produce the new material.
C.The benefits of the wood material.
D.The great importance of innovation.
15.What is the author's attitude towards transparent wood
A.Skeptical. B.Ambiguous.
C.Conservative. D.Appreciative.

When people first come across the Law of Attraction (吸引力法则), their hearts and minds often immediately think of one specific thing that they’d love to achieve in their lives. However, the next thought is often “But I can’t do that”. You may come up with all kinds of excuses. 16 Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.
Small steps create big changes. One of the most common reasons for abandoning dreams is that they simply seem too huge to realize. Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps. 17 Then look at each of them. Not so unrealistic now, is it
18 When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies (自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted. 19 But you don’t ever need to feel this way! Make today the first day of your new journey towards avoiding regret.
Steps towards your dream are never backwards steps. Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”. 20 However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.
A.You can avoid regret.
B.It is no use regretting it.
C.Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.
D.It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.
E.It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.
F.For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.
G.You have enough life experience and knowledge to pursue your dream.

The days that make us happy make us wise.

When I first read this line by England's Poet Laureate, it 1 me. What did Masefield mean Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the 2 was true. But his serious assurance was 3 . I was deeply attracted by it.
Slowly, I seemed to 4 his meaning and realized the wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception(洞察力), not 5 by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind 6 caused by fear.
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or 7 ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has 8 it. Amazingly, in your eyes, the grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the 9 of your friends are more understandable, and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your 10 vision.
Nor are the 11 of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts focused on your emotional woes (痛苦) , your vision is cut short as though blocked by a wall. Happy, the wall 12 .
Consequently, the long vision is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you---people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now 13 a larger scene. Everything covers a fairer 14 . Everything around you, whether it is encouraging or frustrating, no longer seems such a big deal. And here is the beginning of 15 .

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
(2023·广东深圳·外国语学校高三试题)
Many teens dream about leaving home, but the truth can often be much harder than they imagine. Many have been thinking about it, off and on, for some 1 (year); some have been dreaming of independence since they were twelve, or even 2 (young). Leaving home is one part of the teenage dream.
Recently, a survey of “Young People’s Social Attitudes” asked British teenagers for their view 3 leaving home. 49% of 12- to 15-year-olds thought that teenagers should be allowed 4 (leave) home at the age of 16; another 12% said 17, and 8% said “when they want”. Only 23% of young teenagers thought that they should live at home 5 they were 18!
Yet the teenage dream seems to conflict with the experience of real life; when the same question 6 (put) to 18- and 19-year-olds, almost half of 7 (they) replied that teenagers should not leave home before the age of 18.
However, leaving home is part of a teen’s 8 (grow). Many teenagers leave to study or train or look for a job in a different town or city. They will return home when the money runs out. Others leave because they simply want to get out. Most, 9 (especial) younger ones, are happy to go home again later; for a small number, leaving home is 10 definitive break.
答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以提供徒步旅行的俱乐部。 1.细节理解题。由文中第二部分UBC Varsity Outdoor Club 介绍中“The UBC VOC has also constructed a few backcountry cottages in the Coast Mountains.(UBC VOC在海岸山脉还建造了一些偏僻的村舍。)可知,只有UBC Varsity Outdoor Club提到了为远足者建设了偏远的村舍。故选C项。 2.细节理解题。由第三部分Pender Harbor Hiking Group中“The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance, so get on the mailing list or check the website regularly to find a hike that's right for you!”(Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足,因此,请进入邮件列表或定期检查网站,以找到适合您的远足!)可知,该俱乐部的远足安排要关注网站或邮件,故选B项。 3.推理判断题。由文中Pender Harbor Hiking Group介绍中“Description: The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance.”( Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足)所以可推知是要提前订票安排的。 A项“Booking in advance.”(提前预定)可知文中并没有提到所有活动都要提前订票。同时该俱乐部介绍中“Membership cost: Free.”(会员费:免费)可知不收取会员费用,故B项“Charging membership fee.”(收取会员费)不对。 文中Yukon Outdoors Club介绍中提到“Description: The club arranges day hikes, backpacking trips, canoe trips, mountain biking, cross-country skiing trips, snowshoeing trips and various workshops for members to gain new skills and valuable. information.”(描述:俱乐部安排一日远足,背包旅行,独木舟旅行,山地自行车,越野滑雪旅行,雪鞋旅行和各种工作坊,供会员获得新技能和宝贵信息。)可知提到了获取技能。其他俱乐部未提及。故C项“Providing skill workshops”(提供技能作坊)不对。根据 UBC Varsity Outdoor Club中的“Description: The UBC Varsity Outdoor Club is a social group that hikes, mountaineers, rock climbs and ice climbs. ”描述:UBC Varsity户外俱乐部是一个社会团体,包括远足、登山、攀岩和攀冰。根据 Vernon Outdoors Club中的“Description: Boasting a membership of close to 200 people, the Vernon Outdoors Club is an active group that enjoys hiking and cycling.”描述:拥有近200名会员,弗农户外俱乐部是一个活跃的团体,喜欢徒步旅行和骑自行车。由此可知,四个俱乐部都组织徒步活动。故选D项。
【答案】4.C 5.D 6.D 7.A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者因为口吃而不愿意与人交流,但在加入了全国口吃协会之后,作者变得自信,不再逃避与人交流,且与人联系紧密起来,在生活中取得了很多进步。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中本句后文“When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.(在我成长过程中,我很少说话。无论是在学校还是在工作中,因害怕尴尬和被嘲笑,我会去避免社交。)”可知,作者的意思是他过去常常避免提及自己口吃的事情,也因为害怕尴尬和被嘲笑,而避免社交,故选C。 5.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay.(就在那时,我意识到,口吃并不是什么令人羞愧的事情,这只是我碰巧做的事情,没什么关系的。)”可知,在参加了国家口吃协会后,作者对口吃有了新的认识,协会里自信的口吃者给了改变了他对口吃原有的态度,故选D。 6.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them.(这种改变并不是一夜之间发生的,在过去的八年间,我开始更多地提到我的口吃。我和朋友和同事交流,在每个我工作的机构里,我都会提及我的口吃。当我与其他人提起时,也鼓励了他们与我交流。勇敢面对口吃让我敢于与其他人交流,也让我与其他人培养了紧密的联系。)”可知,在作者勇敢面对自己的口吃后,作者与其他人建立了紧密的联系,故选D。 7.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其文章最后一段“But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.(但是今天,我不再让我的口吃阻止我。相反,我让它推动我前进,帮助我取得进步。)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者因为口吃而不愿意与人交流,但在加入了全国口吃协会之后,接受了自己的口吃,作者变得自信,不再逃避与人交流,且与人联系紧密起来,在生活中取得了很多进步。故A项“接受口吃的力量”符合文章标题,故选A。
【答案】8.D 9.A 10.B 11.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“后院鸟类大统计”这一活动,这是“公民科学”项目兴起的一部分,在这些项目中,志愿者收集有关自然世界的数据供研究人员使用。 8.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum (植物园) for an exercise in data-gathering.(她带领一群学生和家长到一个植物园进行数据收集练习。)”可知,达利伯要带她的学生去植物园是为了收集鸟类的信息。故选D项。 9.词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“because they’re fun and interesting to watch(因为它们看起来很有趣)”可知,这些鸟应该是很有吸引力、有魅力的,所以可推测画线词是Attractive“有吸引力的”意思。故选A项。 10.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics.(组织者推荐使用梅林鸟类识别应用程序,通过大小、形状、鸣叫或其他特征来区分鸟类。)”可知,人们可以使用梅林鸟类ID应用程序来辨别不同的鸟类。故选B项。 11.主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了“后院鸟类大统计”这一活动,这是“公民科学”项目兴起的一部分,在这些项目中,志愿者收集有关自然世界的数据供研究人员使用,所以D选项“伟大的后院鸟类统计显示了公民科学的力量”能概括全文内容,适合用作文章标题。故选D项。
【答案】12.C 13.A 14.B 15.D 【解析】本文是说明文,研究发明了一种新型材料,透明的木材被创造出来,它比玻璃更耐用,也更轻。12.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass”热量很容易通过玻璃传递,当它在寒冷的天气中逃逸,在温暖的天气中涌入时,会导致更高的能源账单。用于建筑的玻璃生产也带来了沉重的碳足迹。如果不考虑玻璃运输的沉重足迹,仅制造业每年的排放量就约为25,000公吨。可知,玻璃窗户会产生更高的能源账单,有严重的碳足迹,说明玻璃窗户的主要问题是不利于环境、生态代价高。故选C项。 13.词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure”研究小组将巴尔沙木材处理到氧化浴中,在室温下将木材保存在漂白剂溶液中,以去除结构上的吸光物质。 研究小组将巴尔沙木材置于a bleach solution 中可知,solution 是一种液体,且能去除结构中的吸光物质。结合常识,白色不吸光,所以巴尔沙木材会变白,可得出a bleach solution 是一种能让物体变白的液体。故选A项。 14.主旨大意题。第四段最后一句“So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.” 因此,透明的木材被创造出来,它比玻璃更耐用,也更轻。本句话是对这一段内容的总结:如何生产出这种新型材料。故选B项。 15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer” 由于透明木材对消费者、制造业和环境都有潜在的好处,使用透明木材的理由再清楚不过了。可知,作者认为透明木材对消费者、制造业和环境有潜在好处,说明作者对透明木材持欣赏的(Appreciative)态度。故选D项。
【答案】16.C 17.F 18.A 19.E 20.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种可以让你保持追逐梦想的方法和建议。 16.根据上文“You may come up with all kinds of excuses.”(你可能会想出各种各样的借口。)提到不想付诸行动的各种借口。以及下文“Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.”(下面是为什么你应该相信你可以利用吸引力法则得到你想要的任何东西的原因。)提到建议和方法。结合选项C项Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.(幸运的是,事实是,追逐梦想永远不会太晚。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选C项。 17.根据上文“Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps.”(通常情况下,你可以把追求梦想看成是一系列重要而又小的步骤。)说明把追求梦想看成重要而又小的步骤。结合选项F项For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.(例如,挑战自己,把通往成功的道路分为十个阶段。)为具体举例解释这一方法,和上文内容意思一致,为上文内容的语意递进。故选F项。 18.由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。该段下文“When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies (自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted.”(当人们在弥留之际接受采访,或在自传中讲述他们的生活时,我们常常发现,主要的遗憾往往与没有做过的事情有关。在年老的时候,你很可能会因为你甚至没有尝试做你喜欢的事情或试图获得你真正想要的东西而感到不舒服。)可知,讲的是遗憾往往与没有做过的事情有关。结合选项A项You can avoid regret.(你可以避免后悔。)意思一致,都是讲的关于如何止让自己避免后悔的内容,为总结该段内容。故选A项。 19.根据上文“In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted.”(在年老的时候,你很可能会因为你甚至没有尝试做你喜欢的事情或试图获得你真正想要的东西而感到不舒服。)提到没有尝试做你喜欢的事情或试图获得你真正想要的东西。以及下文“But you don’t ever need to feel this way!”(但是你不需要有这种感觉!)结合选项E项It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.(感觉自己还没有找到自己真正的目标是很痛苦的。)可知,为对上文内容的语意递进,同时引起下文,下文中提到的feel this way(这种感觉)指的就是该句中的内容。上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选E项。 20.根据上文“Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”.”(另一个常见的担忧是,如果你追随梦想,你会“后退一步”。)说明追随梦想,你会“后退一步”的这种担忧。以及下文“However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.”(然而,在你的旧生活中,那些看起来像是倒退的步骤,可以更有效、更准确地被视为你正在创造的全新生活中的前进步骤。)为转折说明这些担忧可能是创造的全新生活中的前进步骤。结合选项D项It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.(当人们处于自己讨厌的职业巅峰时,这种情况就会出现。)可知,和上下文内容紧密连接,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

Languages are dying out all the time. Here are four languages that were once widely spoken but are now considered as “dead” languages.
Old Norse
Old Norse was spoken and written by the Vikings from about the 7th century. It was used in countries like Iceland and parts of Russia. The Vikings were famous for their attacks on neighbouring countries, and so Old Norse had an influence on the languages of the places they attacked, including English. For example, English words such as “egg, gift, anger, want, trust and score” come from Old Norse.
Middle English
Middle English was spoken in England between the 12th and 15th centuries and was very different from the English we use these days. In the past, England was highly influenced by Old Norse. So was its language. There are no manuscripts (手稿) in Middle English as it was much more fashionable to write in French. Middle English gave way to modern English. One example of the wide use of modern English was Shakespeare’s works.
Hunnir
Hunnir is the most mysterious of the languages on our list. The Huns were a community that spread across eastern Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. Despite the Huns’ success in expanding their empire, their language was never written down. The few words that are known are mainly names-in modern Turkey and Mongolia. Apart from these, only three words are known; kamos, medos (types of drinks) and strava (a big meal).
Ancient Greek
More than 4,000 years ago, the Greeks spoke an advanced language known today as Ancient Greek, and developed the first alphabet. Indeed, the English word “alphabet” is taken from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha and beta. Although the language is no longer spoken anywhere, it continues to be studied by scholars around the world and is regarded as one of the most important languages of all time.
1.Which language was spoken by the Vikings
A.Old Norse. B.Middle English.
C.Ancient Greek. D.Hunnir.
2.Why did Middle English disappear
A.French was a popular written language then. B.Modern English replaced Middle English.
C.Shakespeare didn’t use Middle English. D.Middle English was influenced by Old Norse.
3.Which word comes from Ancient Greek
A.Want. B.Kamos. C.Strava. D.Alphabet.

Damon Carson calls himself a matchmaker (媒人) of the never-ending waste of American society, trying not to pair people with people, but things with people.
In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school in Vail, Colorado, when he discovered the vast world of waste. He began thinking about creating a secondhand store that would sell old materials and keep them out of being wasted. As a result, in 2010, his company, Repurposed Materials appeared.
For nearly ten years, his company, Repurposed Materials, has not been looking to recycle the waste he gets — breaking it down to make something new — but rather finding new homes for thrown-away goods in their original forms.
Carson, a husband and father of three adult children, is far from wasteful. Frugal is how he describes himself. The clothes he’s wearing all came from a charity shop; his truck was bought with 290, 000 kilometers driven.
“Why break something down, why melt something down, if it still has value ” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes an amount of power to finish the complete change. Why not leave it as a steel pipe Why not turn it into a fence post on a farm The only cost is transport.
American industrial facilities create and throw about 7.6 billion tons of unwanted industrial materials every year. For the moment, Carson’s unique business finds new lives for millions of kilograms of industrial waste every year.
4.What is paragraph two mainly about
A.Carson’s school lessons.

Network-based technologies have become increasingly widespread, and they are now being used by countless individuals, professionals, and businesses worldwide. Despite their advantages, most network-based systems are highly at risk of malicious (恶意的) attacks.
The consequences of a malicious attack on network-based systems can be extremely harmful. For instance, an attack on a power plant network could leave millions of individuals and offices without electricity, while attacks on social media networks can lead to exposure of user information.
To overcome the weaknesses of network-based systems, computer scientists worldwide have been trying to develop advanced intrusion detection systems (IDSs) (入侵检测系统) that could help to identify malicious attacks, increasing a network’s safety. In recent years, machine learning (ML) algorithms (机器学习算法) have been found to be particularly promising for automatically detecting attacks and intrusions on a network’s functioning.
An important step in the development and training of ML-based IDSs is the selection of data features that a model can rely or focus on when making predictions. Ideally by analyzing large datasets, researchers should be able to identify the most suitable features for solving a given task using ML tools, and this can also be applied to intrusion detection.
Researchers at Canadian University Dubai in the UAE have recently developed a new feature selection method that could enable the development of more effective ML-based IDSs. This method was found to perform remarkably well when compared with other commonly employed feature selection techniques. Using the features they identified as most important for intrusion detection, the researchers created a highly efficient ML-based detection system. This system was found to be capable of distinguishing between DDoS attacks and harmless network signals with 99% accuracy.
In the future, the feature selection method developed by the researchers and their findings could help the development of new, highly effective IDSs. In addition, the system they created using the features they identified could be applied in real-world settings to detect malicious attacks on real networks.
8. What does paragraph 1 focus on about network-based technologies
A. Their targeted users. B. Their popularity.
C. Their potential risk. D. Their advantages.
9. How can IDSs increase the safety of networks
A. By tracking malicious attacks.
B. By starting anti-virus programs.
C. By sorting out user information.
D. By recognizing malicious attacks.
10. What is the key to the development of ML-based IDSs
A. Solving given tasks. B. Selecting reliable data features.
C. Making accurate predictions. D. Analyzing large enough datasets.
11. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a new technique for IDSs.
B. To promote network-based technologies.
C. To raise people’s awareness of network safety.
D. To discuss ways to deal with malicious attacks.

In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.
When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.
Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.
Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
12.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
A.The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B.The author agrees to spend money on material things.
C.The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D.The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
13.Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ________.
A.traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
B.people dislike those who love luxuries
C.experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
D.luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
14.What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A.Be selective about designer labels.
B.Create your own personal unique style.
C.Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.
D.Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
15.The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A.persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
B.prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
C.tell how to express yourself through appearances
D.report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness

Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 16
Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.
Live by your beliefs and values.
People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 17 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.
Follow your passion.
People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 18 ”
Feel content.
People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 19 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”
20
People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.
Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.
A.Make a difference.
B.It’s the purpose of life.
C.Put others before yourself.
D.So they live with certain moral principles.
E.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
F.Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.
G.To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.

“Can we eat this one, Dad ” my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for eatable mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while eatable if prepared properly, is also a known hallucinogen (致幻剂). I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as possible” philosophy and explain what the app says, and that I don’t think our Thursday adventures are ready to get quite that adventurous yet.
Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life.
Last year, after a winter of practicing skiing on the green tracks for beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way down blues and even attempted her first black. That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years combined and I’ve got myself a partner for life.
It’s not all easy—but sometimes that’s the point. Alicia practices the violin every day, and although she enjoys it, even 15 minutes of practice can upset her. The trick, I’ve found, is to let her watch me try to get better at something, too. I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll end up on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the joy of practice and knowledge through life.
4. What does the father imply by saying “I’ve got myself a partner for life.”
A. It is rewarding to learn new skills. B. Skiing has become his lifelong hobby.
C. He will explore more with his daughter. D. His daughter will accompany him forever.
5. Why does the father start learning to play the piano
A. To prove it is never too old to learn. B. To set a good example for his daughter.
C. To experience the joy of piano practice. D. To share with his daughter musical knowledge.
6. Which of the following can best describe the father
A. Rigid and humorous. B. Cautious and inspiring.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and patient.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Thrill of the Skill B. Practice Makes Perfect
C. Like Father, Like Daughter D. The Power of Knowledge

PFAS are found in nonstick pans, water-proof fabrics and food packaging. They're called forever chemicals because of their ability to stick around and not break down. Now, using a bit of heat and two relatively common compounds, researchers have degraded(降解) the chemical in the lab.
While some scientists have found relatively simple ways of breaking down select PFAS,most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure—in some cases over 22 mega-pascals—or extremely high temperatures—sometimes upwards of 1,000℃ —to break the chemical bonds.
William Dichtel, from Northwestern University in Evanston, and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab; sodium hydroxide(氢氧化钠),also known as lye, and a solvent(溶剂)called DMSO. The team worked specifically on a group of forever chemicals which contain a large percentage of PFAS.
When the team combined chemicals with the lye and DMSO at 120℃ and with no extra pressure needed, the carbolic acid(羧酸)fell off the chemicals and became carbon dioxide."What happened next was unexpected," Dichtel said. The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions(氟离子)and smaller carbon-containing products, leaving behind no harmful by-products.
"It's a neat method; it's different from others that have been tried," says Chris Sales, an environmental engineer at Drexel University in Philadelphia who was not involved in the study."The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up. Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals," Sales said.
This process wouldn't work to deal with PFAS in the environment, because it requires a concentrated amount of the chemicals, but it could one day be used in wastewater treatment plants, where the pollutants could be filtered out of the water, concentrated and then broken down.
8. What can we learn about the previous ways to break down PFAS
A. They're eco-friendly. B. They've been widely used.
C. They're difficult to operate. D. They're regarded as useless.
9. What did the team do in their experiment
A. They experimented with different solvents.
B. They tried two very common substances.
C. They tested every group of forever chemicals,
D. They exposed chemicals to extreme temperatures.
10.What made the researchers most surprised in their experiment
A. Environmentally-friendly reactions occurred.
B. The carboxylic acid became carbon dioxide.
C. No extra pressure was needed for the trial.
D. The lye and DMSO could work at 120℃,
11. What can we infer from Chris Sales' words
A. It is difficult to deal with PFAS in the environment.
B. This mechanism will soon be used in the environment.
C. The method will be applied to different kinds of chemicals.
D More research is needed before the method is widely used.

What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.
Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.
Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.
This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.
Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.
My point is that the metaphors (比喻) of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.
12.Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade
A.These coins also served as agricultural tools.
B.This stylish design made the coins valuable.
C.A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.
D.The handles made the coins easily exchanged.
13.Why does the author relate computers to spade coins
A.To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.
B.To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.
C.To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.
D.To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.
14.What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Flexible. B.Wasteful. C.Essential. D.Alternative.
15.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry
B.What Coins and Computers Bring Us
C.What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In Common
D.What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World

Across Asia many people have just witnessed the natural wonder that is a total solar eclipse. 16
This week’s total eclipse could be seen in eastern India before slowly moving across Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Japan, and the Pacific Ocean. Yesterday, when it reached eastern China, people flocked (聚集) into the streets to witness the astronomical wonder.
As daylight disappeared and the sky quickly darkened. 17 Cities such as Shanghai were plunged into (陷入) darkness during what is thought to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds.
Total solar eclipses of such a long duration are very rare events. 18 Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China explained: “We’ll have to wait a few hundred years for another opportunity to observe a solar eclipse that lasts this long so it’s a very special opportunity. ‘‘
But while millions celebrate this phenomenon, it should be remembered that total eclipses have not always been such treasured events. Many cultures traditionally believed that a total eclipse was a bad omen (凶兆) or a supernatural event. 19 Others believed that the eclipse signified oncoming disasters. Nowadays it appears that these fears and superstitions (迷信) are long forgotten. As daylight once again flooded Asian cities such as Shanghai, whoops and cheers could be heard among the gathered crowds.
Reflecting on what had just happened, one Shanghai resident described the eclipse as “eerie” (怪诞的,奇异的), while another said “It’s like magic, the day turns into night in such a short period of time. I have no idea where I am right now. 20
A. It feels like a different world.
B. They happen but once in a lifetime.
C. Those watching were left far from disappointed.
D. Some believed that evil gods were eating the Sun.
E. People were frightened by the sudden darkness.
F. Some people thought it was a natural wonder.
G. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth line up in such a way that our view of the Sun is totally hidden by the Moon.

C 9.B 10.A 11.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国埃文斯顿西北大学的研究人员发现了一种新的方法来分解那些难以分解的PFAS。 8.C。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“…most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure—in some cases over 22 megapascals—or extremely high temperatures—sometimes upwards of 1,000℃—to break the chemical bonds”可知,以前的那些分解方法需要高压高温,因此很难操作。 9.B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“… and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab: sodium hydroxide(氢氧化钠),also known as lye, and a solvent(溶剂)called DMSO”可知,William Dichtel团队使用了两种很常见的物质。 10.A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“‘What happened next was unexpected,'Dichtel said. The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions(氟离子)and smaller carbon-containing products, leaving behind no harmful by-products.”可知,他们没预料到会有非常环保的化学反应发生。 11.D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"'The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up.Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals,'Sales said.”可知,Chris Sales认为想要广泛地应用这个方法还需要很多研究。
【答案】12.C 13.B 14.C 15.D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是作者以青铜时代的古钱币为视角,探讨未来电脑科技的发展。 12.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.(像很多青铜时代的硬币,它们都被做成铁铲的形状。这些古币存在于物物交换和货币交换之间的一个时期,当时硬币还是一个新奇的概念,但每个人都知道农业工具是有价值的)”可知,许多铜器时代的硬币被制成铁锹的形状,因为当时非常重视农业。故选C。 13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.(我们仿佛处于信息技术的青铜时代,拼命地寻找现实世界的参考来改变我们的文明)”可知,作者通过提及青铜时代的货币提到了如今的电脑科技世界,是因为二者具有共同的特点即铁锹货币在青铜时代改变的文明中起着重要作用,电脑科技在我们当今时代改变文明中也发挥着重要作用。即强调它们在我们的文明变革中同样重要。由此推知,作者把电脑和铲形币联系起来,以强调它们在我们的文明转型中同样重要。故选B。 14.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中划线词indispensable后文“part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses.(是我们房屋和城市的一部分,它们的传感器嵌入了墙壁和道路。我们的网络地址实际上可能与我们的街道地址相同)”可知,电脑网络与我们的街道地址相同,嵌入了我们的墙壁和道路,成为了我们房屋和城市的一部分,这是必不可少的。由此可知,划线词与C选项“essential必不可少的”意思相近。故选C。 15.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house.(读到这一令人难以置信的发现,我一直在思考现代人如何而通过将机器描述为“地址”来表示计算机网络)”可知,文章由第一段讲述的青铜时代的铁锹货币,让作者联想到当今的电脑世界,以及后文对受到货币演化过程的启发,讲述了我们是否会开发出一套全新的符号,让我们能够更顺畅地与数字信息进行交互,展开了对未来数字世界的畅想。本文通过硬币的发展介绍了从青铜时代到信息时代的发展变化。由此可知,D项What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World(古代货币告知我们未来的数字世界)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. A 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了此次21世纪最长日全食的情况,整个日全食过程持续了6分39秒。如此长时间的日全食是非常罕见的事件,想要再次看到可能还得等上几百年。还介绍了历史上人们对于日全食的不同看法。 16. 根据上文Across Asia many people have just witnessed the natural wonder that is a total solar eclipse.可知亚洲各地的许多人刚刚目睹了日全食这一自然奇观。由此可知,上文提到了日全食的景象,本句应当是说明这一现象发生的原因。故G选项“当太阳、月球和地球排成一条直线时,我们看到的太阳完全被月球遮住了,日全食就发生了”符合语境,故选G。 17. 根据后文Cities such as Shanghai were plunged into (陷入) darkness during what is thought to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds.可知在这场被认为是21世纪持续时间最长的日全食中,上海等城市陷入了黑暗之中。整个过程持续了6分39秒。由此可知,这次日全食是21世纪持续时间最长的,所以那些观看日全食的人不会失望。故C选项“那些观看的人远远没有失望”符合语境,故选C。 18. 根据后文Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China explained: “We’ll have to wait a few hundred years for another opportunity to observe a solar eclipse that lasts this long so it’s a very special opportunity.”可知中国上海天文台的天文学家邵振义解释说:“我们必须等待几百年才能有机会观测到持续这么久的日食。所以这是一个非常特殊的机会。”由此可知,再次看到这么久的日食需要等待几百年,所以这是一生只有一次的机会。故B选项“一生只有一次”符合语境,故选B。 19. 根据后文Others believed that the eclipse signified oncoming disasters.可知另一些人认为日食预示着即将到来的灾难。由此可知,本句与后文都是在说明人们对这一现象的看法,其中D选项中some可与后文others构成对应,some…others…“一些人……另一些人……”。故D选项“有些人相信邪恶的神正在吃太阳”符合语境,故选D。 20. 根据上文Reflecting on what had just happened, one Shanghai resident described the eclipse as “eerie”(怪诞的,奇异的), while another said “It’s like magic, the day turns into night in such a short period of time. I have no idea where I am right now.可知在反思刚刚发生的事情时,一位上海居民形容日食“可怕”,而另一位说“这就像魔术一样,在这么短的时间内白天就变成了黑夜。我不知道我现在在哪里。”由此可知,本句承接上文说明,日食给人一种进入了不同世界的感觉。故A选项“感觉就像进入了一个不同的世界”符合语境,故选A。

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30 year old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets — basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression. They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passers by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
4. What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program
A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
5. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more
A. She offered some rewards to them. B. She provided them with transportation.
C. She chose novels with beautiful covers. D. She selected books covering every category.
6. Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries
A. Small and useless. B. Influential and meaningful.
C. Large but impractical. D. Widespread but unwelcome.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Books:Sources of Knowledge B. The Roadside Reading Corner
C. The Library:an Ideal place for the Young D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan

Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore — it’s partly made of plastic.
Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12. Another study, published in the journal Science in June 2020, has revealed that every year more than 1,000 tons of the particles — equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles — fall in rain.
Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American magazine Wired.
Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei around which water vapor condenses to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail.
Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “ We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathelyde, Scotland, told Wired. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It (plastic rain) is raining on the land and then getting blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”
8.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.How microplastics are used widely.
B.How microplastics come into being.
C.How microplastics pollute water.
D.How microplastics should be handled.
9.What do we know about microplastics
A.They are light and can be easily dealt with.
B.They result in both acid rain and plastic rain.
C.They have nearly affected the whole food chain.
D.They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.
10.What do Steve Allen’s words mean in the last paragraph
A.Countries should work together to fight pollution.
B.The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self-cleanse.
C.It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else.
D.No place is safe from microplastic pollution.
11.Which of the following can be the best title
A.The sources and effects of microplastics.
B.The difference between acid rain and plastic rain.
C.The dangers of microplastics.
D.The microplastics in food chain.

Most people think that women are naturally kind, cry too much and think with their hearts, instead of using their heads like men. Meanwhile, men are thought to be born to be rational creatures who naturally know how to lead and do math. However, statistics on personality types report that 75. 5% of women are Feelers and 56. 5% of men are Thinkers. So, right now we see that a huge number of men about 43%- -have Feeling preferences.
According to these numbers, only 25% of women are Thinkers. A majority of women tested are Feelers, but are a majority of women born as Feelers In many regards, women are still expected to uphold the feminine(女性的) goals of half a century ago- stay pretty, have babies, keep a tidy home, and cook a good nutritious meal every night. Now, in addition to those old standards, most women plan on working and having careers. But even in the workplace, showing a Thinking preference can be problematic. Women who take charge or offer criticism may be seen 88 bossy,
Of courser the question goes to the Thinking men. Boys learn at a young age that being emotional or sensitive can be seen to be less strong. They have been taught not to cry to show that they are brave enough to bear any sufferings. In that case, they are more likely to be less of Feelers.
Maybe Feeler women and Thinker men are not naturally 80.
There is nothing wrong with being a Feeler woman or a Thinker man. Being a Feeler does not mean that you're a rollercoaster of emotions who might knock over a table at any moment, nor does being a Thinker mean that you are an infallible robot designed to make heartless decisions. Regardless of gender. your personality and preferences are completely valid; neither Thinking nor Feeling is right or wrong, good or bad. And of course, people, who prefer a Thinking style still have feelings, and Feelers can be extremely intelligent.
12.What is the common belief about men according to paragraph 1
A.They prefer to be math teachers. B.They tend to think with their heads.
C.They seem ruder and more merciless. D.They are emotional group leaders.
13.What mainly makes women become Feelers
A.Their working experiences. B.The social expectations.
C.The born characteristics. D.Their family backgrounds,
14.What can be learned from the last paragraph
A.Personality is not necessarily limited to a type.
B.Feelers and Thinkers can hardly live in harmony,
C.A Thinker is certain to make heartless decisions.
D.A Feeler is emotionally changeable all the time.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.Does Personality Change Over the Time
B.Is Personality Only Determined by Gender
C.Are Feeler Women and Thinker Men Born to Be So
D.Can Feelers and Thinkers Get On Well With Each Other

Have you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit, making honor roll, or being picked for a team Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again. 16 It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude. Here’s what you need to do:
First, know your goal. Start by writing down your major goal. For example, “I want to make honor roll,” or “I want to get fit enough to make the cross-country team,” or even, “I want to play in the Olympics” are all major goals because they’re the final thing the goal ‘setter wants to see happen. 17 That’s how people get things done. You just have to remember that the bigger the goal, the more work it takes to get there.
Make it specific. It’s easier to plan for and master a specific goal than an unclear one. 18 That’s pretty unclear. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve, why you want to get fit, and by when. This helps you make a plan to reach your goal.
19 People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve within the time-frame you’ve peting on the Olympic ski team is a workable goal if you are 15 and already a star skier. But if you’re 18 and only just taking your first lesson, time isn’t exactly on your side.
Break it down. Making any change takes self-discipline. You need to pay constant attention so you don’t get sidetracked. 20 For example, let’s say you want to run a marathon. If it’s February and the marathon is in August, that’s a realistic time-frame to prepare. Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually to the distance you need.
A. Make it realistic.
B. It’s OK to dream big.
C. What if you keep slipping up
D. Let’s say your goal is to get fit.
E. So how do you stay motivated and on track with your goal
F. One way to make this easier is to break a big goal into small steps.
G. Finding the motivation to do it isn’t necessarily easy, but it is always possible.

At the age of 12, I withdrew into my bedroom with my guitar. I had neither musical talent — many 1 music lessons had proved that — nor musical training. My fingers ached as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz (发出嗡嗡声). 2 , I worked my way through 2-, 3- and even 5-chord (和旋) songs and discovered the 3 thrills of these musical notes. No one 4 me to do this. I did this myself and of my own free will for a week, and the sense of happiness- true happiness 5 in absorption in something - has 6 me. Fifty years later, that week’s self-directed practice became a model and 247 for almost every meaningful thing I have done since. It makes me understand the 8 between achievement and accomplishment.
The world favors achievement while 9 accomplishment. The former is the completion of the task imposed (强加) from the outside — the 10 being a path to the next task. The latter is the end point of an activity we have chosen, whose bonus is the sudden 11 of happiness.
The seeking of accomplishment always 12 people. I learned so long ago in that 13 week that simply lifting one finger from the guitar’s C chord, you should get the most moving 14 in tune. I didn’t know then it was a major 7th chord, a favorite of some masters’. I just 15 accomplishment. That’s real human “achievement”.

【答案】8.B 9.C 10.D 11.A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究表明雨水不再仅仅是由水构成的,它部分由塑料构成。 8.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American magazine Wired.(微塑料是直径小于5毫米的塑料颗粒,来源多种多样。释放到环境中的塑料袋和塑料瓶被分解成越来越小的碎片。据《每日邮报》报道,一些微塑料是故意制造出来的,以在牙膏和洗面奶等一系列产品中产生磨损作用。另一个主要来源是你的洗衣机。当你洗合成衣物时,微小的微纤维会随着废水一起被冲走。据美国《连线》杂志报道,尽管污水处理厂对这些水进行了处理,但微塑料仍然存在,并被释放到海洋中。)”可知,第三段介绍了微塑料的几种来源,故本段是讲述微塑料是如何产生形成的。故选B。 9.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too.(你能想到的任何地方都有微塑料。据《每日邮报》报道,从鱼、青蛙到老鼠、蚊子,他们的体内平均含有40个塑料微粒。作为食物链的顶端,人类也会接触到微塑料。)”可知,微塑料几乎可以在任何地方被发现,由此可推断,微塑料几乎影响了整个食物链。故选C。 10.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathelyde, Scotland, told Wired. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It (plastic rain) is raining on the land and then getting blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”(“我们生活在一个泡泡里的球上,”苏格兰斯特拉希利德大学的微塑料研究员Steve Allen告诉《连线》杂志。“没有边界,没有边缘。它(塑料雨)在陆地上下雨,然后再次被吹回空中,移动到其他地方。一旦泄露出去,就无法阻止了。”)”可知,在Steve Allen看来,世界上没有任何一个地方可以免受微塑料的污染。故选D。 11.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore — it’s partly made of plastic.(雨对地球上的生命至关重要。然而,雨水不再仅仅是由水构成的,它部分由塑料构成。)”可知,现在的雨水中含有塑料;文章第三段“Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources.(微塑料是直径小于5毫米的塑料颗粒,来源多种多样。)”;文章第四段“Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with.(塑料雨可能会让人想起酸雨,但前者的影响范围更广,也更难处理。)”可知,文章用雨引出微塑料无处不在这一话题,并分析了微塑料的来源以及影响。故选A。
【答案】12.B 13.B 14.A 15.C 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。人们通常认为女人天是感受者而男人天生是思考者,然而这并不是绝对的,个性并不一定局限于某一种类型。 12.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most people think that women are naturally kind, cry too much and think with their hearts, instead of using their heads like men. Meanwhile, men are thought to be born to be rational creature who naturally know how to lead and do math”(大多数人认为女人天生善良,爱哭,用心思考,而不是像男人那样动脑思考。与此同时,男人被认为是天生的理性生物,天生知道如何领导和做数学。)可知,人们通常认为男人是理性思考者。故选B。 13.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ In many regards, women are still expected to uphold the feminine(女性的) goals of half a century ago- stay pretty, have babies, keep a tidy home, and cook a good nutritious meal every night. Now, in addition to those old standards, most women plan on working and having careers. But even in the workplace, showing a Thinking preference can be problematic. Women who take charge or offer criticism may be seen 88 bossy,”(在许多方面,人们仍然期望女性坚持半个世纪前的女性目标——保持漂亮,生孩子,保持家庭整洁,每天晚上做一顿营养丰富的晚餐。现在,除了那些旧标准,大多数女性计划工作和事业。但即使在工作场合,表现出思维偏好也是有问题的。主事或提出批评的女性可能被认为是专横跋扈的,)可推知,主要是社会期望使女性变成了感受者。故选B。 14.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Being a Feeler does not mean that you're a rollercoaster of emotions who might knock over a table at any moment, nor does being a Thinker mean that you are an infallible robot designed to make heartless decisions.”(做一个感觉者并不意味着你是一个随时可能打翻桌子的情绪过山车,做一个思考者也不意味着你是一个绝对正确的机器人,被设计来做无情的决定。)及“And of course, people, who prefer a Thinking style still have feelings, and Feelers can be extremely intelligent.”(当然,喜欢思考方式的人仍然有感觉,而“感觉者”可能非常聪明。)可推知,个性并不一定局限于某一种类型。故选A。 15.主旨大意题。大多数人认为女人天生善良,爱哭,用心思考,而不是像男人那样动脑思考。与此同时,男人被认为是天生的理性生物,天生知道如何领导和做数学。然而,根据性格类型的统计数据显示,75.5%的女性是“感受者”,56.5%的男性是“思考者”。可知,本文在探讨“是否女人就是天生的感受者而男人就是天生的思考者”。根据最后一段“Being a Feeler does not mean that you're a rollercoaster of emotions who might knock over a table at any moment, nor does being a Thinker mean that you are an infallible robot designed to make heartless decisions.”做一个感觉者并不意味着你是一个随时可能打翻桌子的情绪过山车,做一个思考者也不意味着你是一个绝对正确的机器人,被设计来做无情的决定。由此可知,人们通常认为女人天是感受者而男人天生是思考者,然而这并不是绝对的,个性并不一定局限于某一种类型。所以短文的最佳标题为“是否女人就是天生的感受者而男人就是天生的思考者”。故选C。
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. F 【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文提出了四条如何坚持实现目标的建议。 16. 根据上文“Have you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit, making honor roll, or being picked for a team Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again.(你曾经为自己设定过目标吗,比如健身,上光荣榜,或者入选球队?像很多人一样,也许你一开始做得很好,但后来失去了一些动力,很难再次获得动力)”以及下文“It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude.(这一切都归结于良好的计划、现实的期望和坚持下去的态度。)”可知,上文提到失去实现目标的动力的现象,可知,本句在说明与前文现象相关的问题,故E选项“那么,你是如何保持动力并朝着目标前进的呢”符合语境,故选E。 17. 根据下文 “That's how people get things done.

It’s easier to plan for and master a specific goal than an unclear one.(使目标具体一点。制定和掌握一个明确的目标比制定一个不明确的目标更容易。)”以及下文 That's pretty unclear. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve, why you want to get fit, and by when.(这很不清楚。明确你想要达到的目标,为什么要健身,以及什么时候要健身。)可知,上文提到制定明确的目标,后文提到具体的步骤。故本句举一个如何让目标明确的例子,D 选项“假设你的目标是健身。”符合语境。故选D。 19. 根据下文“People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve within the time-frame you've planned.(人们常常因为期望过高而放弃目标。保持动力的一部分是你在计划的时间框架内可以实现的目标要现实。)”提到目标要现实,A选项“现实一点。”符合语境,故选A。 20. 根据主旨“Break it down.(把目标分解。)”以及下文 “For example, let's say you want to run a marathon. If it's February and the marathon is in August, that's a realistic time-frame to prepare. Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually to the distance you need.(例如,假设你想跑马拉松。如果是在2月,而马拉松在8月,这是一个现实的准备时间框架。从计划跑2英里开始,逐渐增加到你需要的距离。)”可知,本句是在举例说明如何分解目标。故F选项“有一种方法可以让这个目标更容易实现,那就是把一个大目标分解成一个个小步骤。”符合主旨,且能连接举的练习马拉松的例子,故选F。

Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you
If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach.
1. Who are the intended readers
A. Red-blooded males . B. White-collar staff. C. Blue-blooded tourists. D. Green-hand campers.
2. What can you learn from the passage
A. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply.
B. Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature.
C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment.
D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking.
3. In which column will you find this passage
A. Feature. B. Style. C. Travel. D. Entertainment.

(2023·江苏镇江·第一中学统考二模)
Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar. 15. He was 94.
Hailed (誉为) as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr. Eugene Parker. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers: “If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you’re wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death, they traveled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
4. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B. The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.
C. Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.

Humans are pretty unique among life on Earth. As far as we know, we’re the only living species to evolve the higher intelligence, wear clothes, cook our food, and even invent smartphones. But what if humans suddenly went extinct What other animals might evolve to have the smarts and skills to create large,complex societies as we have
With modern genetic technology and our understanding of evolution, “we’re pretty good at making short-term predictions. “Martha Reiskind, an ecologist, told Live Science. For example, we can predict that if humans were to disappear tomorrow, climate change would continue to drive many species to adapt to drought. And species living in cold areas would continue to struggle to live as well.
“A big thing will be the concept of convergence.” Dougal Dixon, a geologist, told Live Science Convergence is an evolutionary process by which two unrelated creatures develop similar features in order to succeed in a particular environment. For example, with their sleek (光滑的) bodies and fins, fish are suitable for living in water. However, dolphins have evolved a very similar body plan—and unlike fish, they are warm-blooded, air-breathing animals with a totally different evolutionary background.
One feature that makes humans uniquely good at building is our skillful hands. In order to fill the same role as humans—that is, building cities and heavily modifying our environment—another species would need to develop a similar ability to control objects. Other primates (灵长目动物), like chimpanzees. our closest living relatives, already can make tools in the wild. It’s possible that if humans disappeared, they might replace us.
But any disaster terrible enough to destroy humans is also likely to destroy chimpanzees, which leaves another tool-using candidate to fill humans place: birds. Birds are very brainy. Some birds can use their feet to form wire into hooks. And trained African grey parrots can learn upwards of 100 words and do simple math, including understanding the concept of zero. Birds can also gather in large groups, and some even build group nesting sites.
Of course, all of these are predictions. Scientists have said it’s almost impossible to truly predict how evolution will unfold. As we go further and further out, the prediction is less accurate. And it’s even more difficult to predict whether another species will develop human-level intelligence, Some think that it could happen. Others, however, are less optimistic because they don’t think nature will make mistakes twice.
8.Why does the author mention fish and dolphins in Para. 3
A.To show how dolphins evolved
B.To explain what convergence is.
C.To show the advantage of the fish shape
D.To explain the feature of animals living in water.
9.What do chimpanzees and some birds have in common
A.The ability to make tools B.The habit of group living
C.The ability to do simple math D.The close relationship with humans
10.Which animals might replace humans if a worst disaster happened
A.Sea animals. B.Chimpanzees
C.Birds. D.Dogs.
11.Which of the following best describes the future of other species filling the same role as humans
A.Hopeless. B.Challenging.
C.Promising. D.Uncertain.

Psychological stress is likely to surface during a human mission to Mars. Prof Jeff Johnson thinks an on-board “comedian” could keep spirits up during the long journey. He is drawing on his research on the differing teambuilding approaches of competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his point. Amundsen’s team made it to the South Pole and back while Scott’s died on the return journey.
Well, Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to make sure that they would take orders and, in particular, whether they would challenge any of them. Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an ambiguous context to see what their responses would be, and if somebody questioned him, they were out. However, if you read Amundsen’s diary, he writes that Lindstr m, the cook, was basically the most important person on the expedition.
Lindstr m was the comedian. He didn’t actually go to the South Pole, but you’ve got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall time that they were on the ice. They were there for well over a year, waiting to walk to the Pole. They had to wait during the winter and it’s a very tense time when people are idle (懒散的). Lindstr m played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group when there were tense moments, and he would do something funny to get everybody to laugh, which would break the tension.
There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be able to recognize and include when you’re putting together groups that are going to be isolated, such as those going into space. There are a number of different roles that we’ve discovered are important, but one of them is somebody who has humour. That’s clearly important. So, you’d want to have somebody like Lindstr m, somebody who is not only good at what they have to do (he was a very good cook) but who also has another skillset beyond what’s in the job description.
We can put people together thinking that they’re going to work together in a certain way, but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen. There are the kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better. You can think about it in terms of atoms: when you put different elements together, they produce different kinds of things. It’s the same with people. They may have their own characteristics, but when you put them together, they’re going to create a different kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.
12.By comparing Amundsen with Scott, the author intends to __________.
A.contradict his previous statements B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.illustrate the importance of a comedian D.emphasize the necessity of team spirits
13.What was the very quality Amundsen was valuing in his interview
A.Willingness to take orders. B.Optimism about success.
C.Eagerness to make progress. D.Curiosity about mysteries.
14.For what reason was Lindstr m regarded as a key figure on the expedition
A.He went against the command of the Amundsen in every circumstance.
B.He could make up many jokes about other team members to ease tension.
C.Besides cooking tasty dishes, he was capable of easing tension when it arose.
D.When a vacancy appeared, he was always ready to fill it in and made it work.
15.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A.Comedians, keys to landing on Mars B.Atoms, roles of members in a team
C.Teamwork, secret to overall success D.Amundsen, example for group leaders

Research suggests that parental favouritism is surprisingly common, and can actually be very harmful. 16 . Widespread as it is, it can damage children’s well-being across the lifespan, from their childhood to middle age and beyond. It is considered such an important factor in a range of emotional problems that psychologists have a name for it—“parental differential treatment”.
However, siblings (兄弟姐妹) in the same family may disagree over whether their family is even affected by it. 17 . Laurie Kramer, a professor of applied psychology says, “It is an experience that a parent prefers another child to them.” She adds, “ 18 . It possibly means less control, so that they may enjoy fewer restrictions and be subject to less discipline or even punishment.”
19 . Such perceived parental favouritism has been associated with low self-esteem in children, as well as childhood anxiety, depression, and behavioural problems. There may also be a knock-on effect on emotional well-being that causes more indirect problems.
In a small Canadian study of eight homeless teenagers, seven said they felt that their parents had favoured a sibling over them while they had always been the “problem children”. 20 . While the study may be too small to draw wider conclusions, it highlights just how far a child’s experience of favouritism can potentially go.
A.Being the favourite can also come with pain
B.That’s because feeling less-favoured can be very subjective
C.This could mean devoting more time, attention or affection
D.They believed this had contributed to the breakdown of family ties
E.This may not be the same observation that the other siblings encounter
F.For those who feel they are treated as second-best, the consequences can be serious
G.It occurs in around 65% of families, and has been studied across different cultures

For example, with their sleek(光滑的)bodies and fins, fish are suitable for living in water. However, dolphins have evolved a very similar body plan—and unlike fish, they are warm-blooded, air-breathing animals with a totally different evolutionary background.(“融合的概念将是一件大事。”地质学家杜格尔·迪克森告诉《生活科学》杂志,趋同是一种进化过程,两种不相关的生物发展出相似的特征,以便在特定的环境中取得成功。例如,鱼有光滑的身体和鳍,适合生活在水中。然而,海豚进化出了非常相似的身体结构——与鱼类不同的是,它们是温血动物,呼吸空气,有着完全不同的进化背景。)”可知,作者先介绍了 convergcnce 这一概念,即两种不相关的生物进化出相似的特征以求在某种特定环境中生存。然后,作者以海豚进化出鱼类的身形为例来说明这一概念。故选B。 9.细节理解题。根据第四段“Other primates(灵长目动物), like chimpanzees. our closest living relatives, already can make tools in the wild.(其他灵长类动物,如黑猩猩。我们现存的近亲,已经可以在野外制造工具了。)”和第五段第一句“But any disaster terrible enough to destroy humans is also likely to destroy chimpanzees, which leaves another tool-using candidate to fill humans place: birds.Birds are very brainy.Some birds can use their feet to form wire into hooks. (但是,任何足以毁灭人类的灾难也可能毁灭黑猩猩,这就留下了另一种工具来填补人类的位置:鸟类。鸟很聪明,有些鸟能用脚把铁丝做成钩子。)”可知,黑猩猩可以在野外制造工具,鸟类也可以,比如有的鸟类能够用爪子将金属丝弯成钩子。因此,两者的共同点是都能制造工具。故选A。 10.细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“But any disaster terrible enough to destroy humans is also likely to destroy chimpanzees, which leaves another tool-using candidate to fill humans place: birds.(但是,任何足以毁灭人类的灾难也可能毁灭黑猩猩,这就留下了另一种工具来填补人类的位置:鸟类。)”可知,当特大灾难致使人类和黑猩猩都灭绝后,能够使用工具的鸟类有可能代替人类的位置。故选C。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, all of these are predictions. Scientists have said it’s almost impossible to truly predict how evolution will unfold. As we go further and further out, the prediction is less accurate. And it’s even more difficult to predict whether another species will develop human-level intelligence, Some think that it could happen. Others, however, are less optimistic because they don’t think nature will make mistakes twice.(当然,所有这些都是预测。科学家们表示,要真正预测进化将如何展开几乎是不可能的。随着我们越走越远,预测就越不准确。更难预测的是另一个物种是否会发展出人类水平的智力,有些人认为这是可能发生的。然而,其他人则不那么乐观,因为他们认为大自然不会犯两次错误。)”可知,未来的其他物种能否扮演与人类相同的角色?有的人认为这是可能的,而有的人则对此持消极态度。因此,智能生物的未来是不确定的。故选D。

A
(2023·浙江·德清县高级中学校考模拟预测)
It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter.
Remember to bargain; doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
1.Which of the following situation can be best described by the underlined word trade-off in paragraph 2
A.Jack got a reward after he returned the lost bag to its owner.
B.Lily spent much money buying some handicrafts at the local fair.
C.Wendy cancelled her trip in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
D.Sam was scolded by his parents for what he did in school last night.
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.It’s better for outdoor enthusiasts to visit Bali during the off season.
B.Passengers had better fix the price with drivers before the taxi pulls out from the station.
C.If on a tight budget, one is advised to visit Bali at the end of December every year.
D.It’s relatively economical to eat merely at average restaurants tailored to visitors.
3.In which column of a magazine can you most probably find this passage
A.City and Transport. B.Travel and Recreation.
C.Nature and Environment. D.Food and Health.

One night in March, five years ago, during happy hour at a bar in my hometown, I made a surprise announcement to my friends: I was going to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind. My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends. Some offered support and encouragement, while others were more doubtful.
Once I’d said the words, there was no turning back. It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order. Once I set off on my adventure in October 2016, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher. Even so, travelling overland was the most awe-inspiring way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three consecutive overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled plains, as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent gazing out the windows for hours as the West Siberian Plain swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for 10 hours. Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me flexible and open about all my travel plans, which is advice I give everyone who asks—plan far less than you think you should.

For motorcycle enthusiasts, nothing beats the excitement of riding your motorcycle on the open highway with the wind on your back. With gas prices rising, riding motorcycles is economical and a much greener way to travel. Along with the benefits comes the risk of personal injury if an accident occurs. After all, you’re not protected by steel like you are while driving your car. Besides a helmet (头盔), the latest safety innovations, new airbag jeans, are personal airbags that you can wear to better protect your life.
Airbags have been protecting people in car accidents for decades. Now, a Swedish company, Mo’cycle, teamed up with an airbag technology company which previously produced upper body protection for motorcycle riders, to design and produce the airbags jeans. This kind of airbag can offer protection for the motorcycle rider’s lower body, especially the tailbone, in case of an accident. According to the company, “It reformed the airbag technology to protect the first bone of the spinal column (脊柱), because spinal column injury is the leading cause of disability among motorcycle riders.”
The airbag jeans look like conventional trousers. Its component is removable and the jeans can be washed, dried, and worn again. The jeans are made of a fabric called Armalith which is stronger and weighs less than steel. Armalith helps to prevent riders from injuries caused by force of friction after a fall. The airbags fixed into the fabric help protect the rider if he or she falls off the motorcycle. If the rider is separated from the vehicle, the airbags are touched off in seconds. That’s because the mechanism is actually a chain that connects the jeans to the motorcycle.
Mo’cycle’s airbag jeans are available on the company’s crowdfunding campaign along with an airbag shirt and a complete protection package. Obviously, they can provide protection for more motorcycle riders. Making the roads safer for them is certainly a worthy effort.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To show the popularity of motorcycles.
B. To stress the necessity of airbags jeans.
C. To state the importance of wearing helmets.
D. To display the excitement of highway riding.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. The tailbone injuries are hard to identify.
B. Airbags offer overall protection for riders.
C. Mo cycle is famous for airbag design and production.
D. The airbag jeans are based on the existing technology.
10. What is a feature of airbag jeans
A. They lead a new fashion trend. B. They are comfortable to wear.
C. They are quick in response. D. They need fixing regularly.,
11. How does the author feel about the future of the airbag jeans
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Curious.

Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives.And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips(微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted(植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However,it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns,not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert(静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them.Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface(接口) implants is still far away from us.
12.What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Develop. B.Avoid. C.Change. D.Trust.
13.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3
A.The possible treatment for particular diseases.
B.The process of human-computer interaction.
C.The existing application of microchip implants.
D.The future of microchips and devices alike.
14.How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality
A.They may reject it.
B.They may expect it.
C.They may adjust to it.
D.They may feel curious about it.
15.What might be the best title for the text
A.Computer-brain interface: The light of the future
B.Innovation is necessary to make progress
C.Where are we in the medical technology
D.Mind-controlled tech: Is it possible

Before you go on your next two-wheeled adventure, make sure you’re familiar with the ins and outs of bicycle safety. This holds true whether you’re riding a traditional bike or an e-bike — one powered by an electric motor in addition to your pedaling.
Many of the safety recommendations are the same for both types of bikes. Wear a helmet. 16 Make sure you’re visible to motorists (some e-bikes now come with lights). Know how to use your arm to signal turns (left: extend your left arm out to the side; right: extend your right arm or bend your left arm up at a right angle). Don’t talk on the phone, text, or listen to music. 17
Be sure your e-bike is ready to ride. That starts with checking that the tires are inflated and the brakes are working properly. If the bicycle hasn’t been used for a while, take it for a tune-up before you take it for a ride. 18 And before and after every ride, inspect your bicycle for damage.
19 This is also important for e-bike riders. “With the ability to go faster comes the responsibility to know when you should slow down,” says Ash Lovell, electric bicycle policy director at People for Bikes, a cyclist advocacy organization.
Know the rules of the road. “When you’re riding in the street, even in a protected bike lane, read the signals, pay attention to the lane markings, and check the signage to see where e-bikes are allowed,” Lovell says. 20 Signs in those states may specify which types of bikes are allowed on which roads and paths. Check the People for Bikes website (peopleforbikes.org) for more information.
A.Do not ride on the left.
B.Be aware of your speed.
C.And if you’re an e-bike rider, take notice of the following tips.
D.Remember to replace batteries on a regular basis.
E.Ride with the flow of traffic rather than against it.
F.For an e-bike, also make sure your battery is charged.
G.Thirty-six states have adopted a classification system for e-bikes.

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。 1.词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing.(每年的这个时候并不总是日光浴的理想时间,而且严重的降雨会使户外活动,如漂流、参观瀑布和梯田,没有吸引力)”可知,价格下降的原因是雨季这一代价。划线词意为“代价”。故C选项“为了防止病毒的传播,温迪取消了她的旅行”最能描述画线词,温迪以失去旅行为代价,换取防止病毒传播。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget.(要想在巴厘岛省钱,在一家面向游客的普通餐厅吃饭是最好的办法)”结合选项可知,在为游客量身定制的普通餐厅吃饭相对经济省钱。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.(人们很容易认为去巴厘岛度假会花一大笔钱。这里有充足的住宿,食物和当地交通,甚至水疗中心提供合理价位的按摩和治疗。然而,你也可以花不到2000美元在巴厘岛度过一两个星期,甚至不用在海滩上睡觉。以下是在规划巴厘岛预算时需要考虑的一些事情)”结合文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。可推知,你最可能在杂志的“旅游和娱乐”专栏里找到这篇文章。故选B。
【答案】4.C 5.D 6.B 7.A 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲了作者在没有任何计划的前提下进行了环球旅行,结果证明毫无准备地旅行比想象的要容易得多。 4.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind.(此外,我也不会乘坐任何航班,也不会提前预订任何种类的机票)”可知,作者旅行的特别之处是没有提前预定,也没有坐飞机。故选C。 5.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once I set off on my adventure in October 2016, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher.(当我在2016年10月开始我的冒险之旅时,我发现不使用飞机旅行并不容易。试着在16个月内绕地球一周〔这比我最初计划的12个月要长一些〕让事情变得更加困难)”由此可知,作者2016年10月出发,16个月后返回,即作者最有可能在2018年2月回到美国。故选D。 6.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“I took three consecutive overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. (我连续乘坐了三趟通宵巴士,从世界最南端的城市乌斯怀亚到首都布宜诺斯艾利斯,穿越阿根廷3000公里)”、第四段第一句“It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing (从莫斯科到北京坐了连续七天的火车)”及第四段最后一句“Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world adventure. (在我后来的旅程中,我用了22天的时间乘坐货轮从新西兰穿过巴拿马运河回到费城,完成了我的环球冒险)”可知,作者的旅行路线是乌斯怀亚,布宜诺斯艾利斯,莫斯科,北京,新西兰,费城。故选B。 7.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I found travelling without using planes was not easy.”可知,作者在2008年12月开始他的冒险之旅时,他发现不坐飞机旅行并不容易;结合最后一段中“It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere.(没有计划的旅行远没有想象中那么困难,带着背包坐公交车进城,在旅游指南上寻找一些住宿建议,然后找到一个住处在任何地方都不是什么大问题)”可推知,作者的态度是积极的,认为虽然旅行有一定挑战性,但总体上是愉快的。故选A。
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了安全气囊牛仔裤可以更好地保护人们的生命,文章介绍了安全气囊牛仔裤的原理以及涉及的技术。 8.推理判断题。根据第一段“For motorcycle enthusiasts, nothing beats the excitement of riding your motorcycle on the open highway with the wind on your back. With gas prices rising, riding motorcycles is economical and a much greener way to travel. Along with the benefits comes the risk of personal injury if an accident occurs. After all, you’re not protected by steel like you are while driving your car. Besides a helmet (头盔), the latest safety innovations, new airbag jeans, are personal airbags that you can wear to better protect your life.(对于摩托车爱好者来说,没有什么比骑着摩托车在开阔的高速公路上迎风而行更令人兴奋的了。随着汽油价格的上涨,骑摩托车是一种既经济又环保的出行方式。随着这些好处而来的是,如果发生事故,人身伤害的风险。毕竟,你不像开车时那样受到钢铁的保护。除了头盔之外,最新的安全创新产品——新型安全气囊牛仔裤——是一种个人安全气囊,你可以穿上它来更好地保护你的生命)”可推知,第一段的目的是强调安全气囊牛仔裤的必要性。故选B。 9.推理判断题。根据第二段“Now, a Swedish company, Mo’cycle, teamed up with an airbag technology company which previously produced upper body protection for motorcycle riders, to design and produce the airbags jeans. This kind of airbag can offer protection for the motorcycle rider’s lower body, especially the tailbone, in case of an accident. According to the company, “It reformed the airbag technology to protect the first bone of the spinal column (脊柱), because spinal column injury is the leading cause of disability among motorcycle riders.”(现在,一家瑞典公司Mo’cycle与一家安全气囊技术公司合作,设计和生产安全气囊牛仔裤。该公司之前为摩托车手生产上半身保护装置。这种安全气囊可以在发生事故时保护摩托车骑手的下半身,特别是尾骨。据该公司介绍,“它改革了安全气囊技术,以保护脊柱的第一块骨头,因为脊柱损伤是摩托车骑手致残的主要原因。”)”可推知,安全气囊牛仔裤是基于现有技术。故选D。 10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If the rider is separated from the vehicle, the airbags are touched off in seconds.(如果骑手与车辆分离,安全气囊会在几秒钟内被触发)”可知,安全气囊牛仔裤的特点反应迅速。故选C。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Obviously, they can provide protection for more motorcycle riders. Making the roads safer for them is certainly a worthy effort.(显然,他们可以为更多的摩托车骑手提供保护。让道路对他们来说更安全当然是值得的)”可推知,作者认为安全气囊牛仔裤的未来很有前途。故选C。
【答案】12.B 13.C 14.A 15.D 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。 12.词句猜测题。划线词句后文“There are computer microchips(微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! (我们的手表,汽车,电灯开关,甚至我们的宠物里都有电脑芯片!)”说明电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在,从而推知划线词句“It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. (在我们的世界里,shun科技实际上是很困难的。)”其中划线词汇意思是“回避,不用”。故选B项。 13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. (由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息,微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑。)”和第三段“For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression. (例如,电极已经植入癫痫患者的大脑,以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。类似地,通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的深部脑刺激,是治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的既定方法,甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病。)”可知,作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选C项。 14.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists. (事实上,让陌生人在你的大脑里植入芯片的可能性很可能被证明是没有吸引力的,尤其是对于一个数百万人对疫苗中虚构的微芯片感到愤怒的人群,对于害怕牙医的人群来说更多。)”可知,在现实中,大多数美国人可能会拒绝对在大脑中植入芯片。故选A项。 15.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段中“How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain (有多少人真的想把科技真正地植入他们的大脑?)”可知,本文探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。D项“大脑控制技术:这可能吗?”符合主题,故选D项。

(对于电动自行车,也要确保电池充满电)”讲述的是确保电池已充电,符合语境。故选F。 19.设空处应为本段中心句。下文中的““With the ability to go faster comes the responsibility to know when you should slow down,” says Ash Lovell, electric bicycle policy director at People for Bikes, a cyclist advocacy organization. (“有了骑得更快的能力,你就有责任知道什么时候应该减速,”自行车倡导组织“自行车人”的电动自行车政策主管阿什·洛弗尔说。)”可知,本段讲述电动车的速度。结合选项,B项“Be aware of your speed. (注意你的速度)”照应下文内容,应为中心句。故选B。 20.下文“Signs in those states may specify which types of bikes are allowed on which roads and paths.

My mother-in-law asked me to climb a mountain in her rural village. We went through tall and weedy expanse of grass, pulling ourselves up with the help of smooth bamboo trees. Weathered gray rocks dotted tracks only visible to an experienced hiker. The view we were rewarded with halfway up the mountain, fixing our eyes upon the colorful pieces of fields and whitewashed homes set against the deep green hills and a sky so blue that it looked digitally polished, was a side benefit of being there.
Our eyes were mostly on the wild eatable plants that grew on the mountainside. We first came upon the wild mountain bamboo, a plant that was the main part in my mother-in-law’s salted bamboo shoots that, once preserved, could be used all year long in cooking. Along the way, we also encountered another precious wild food — fiddlehead ferns (蕨菜). Those delicate leaves, when stir-fired, were a tasty treat. Once I had purchased fiddleheads at a market in the US. Yet there we were, picking this prized vegetable on our own, with only our labor as the cost.
What we had collected that afternoon looked the same as any other wild mountain bamboo shoots and fiddlehead ferns I had seen before in my mother-in-law’s kitchen. And yet, they felt different to me because I had used my own hands to help pick them and carry them back down the mountain. Spending time and energy gathering these wild plants gave me a deeper appreciation for the food that ends up on the dinner table.
“Many generations have kept this natural lifestyle. We depend on the mountains for our life,” my mother-in-law says. Those mountains and rivers supporting her life aren’t some abstract concept. They are right there, outside her door and within her rural village. Once I saw them through her angle that afternoon, I realized they are closer to me than I ever imagined.
4. Why was the author asked to climb a mountain
A. To pull some bamboo trees. B. To enjoy its beautiful scenery.
C. To get some wild vegetables. D. To lake some digital pictures.
5. What made the picked fiddlehead ferns different
A. The fresh leaves. B. The input of labor. C. The rich nutrition. D. The help from Mother-in-law.
6. What does the author want to show by quoting her mother-in-law
A. Nature feeds villagers and sustains their life. B. City people want to settle down in mountains.
C. Rural areas are inaccessible to some outsiders. D. Farmers dream of changing the natural lifestyle.
7. How does the author sound when telling the story
A. Humorous. B. Anxious. C. Satisfied. D. Tolerant.

Finding a mask which offers you a high protection level is crucial to filtering (过滤) out any particles for a long time. However, after a few hours, the mask becomes contaminated (污染) by the particles and you need to replace it with a new one. See, you have to get a mask offering active protection in addition to passive filtration.
The first rule of a mask offering you any kind of protection is that it needs to fit well. The mask also needs to be comfortable and allow you to breathe easily for you to be able to keep it on for as many hours as you need.
During long hours of wear, food and dirt may remain on the inside of your mask. All the hours spent in a place with less-than-ideal conditions for human health are wonderful news for bacteria that thrive on food particles and muck left behind on the inside of your mask. This growth opportunity for bacteria could not just be dangerous but could also cause a bad smell. So you’d better have a kind that kills off the smell-causing bacteria, leaving your mask smelling fresh.
You should look for cloth masks that have multiple layers of breathable fabric that is tightly woven, include a robust (结实的) nose wire for you to adjust the mask to the shape of your face and prevent air escaping from around your nose, do not have gaps around the nose or sides of the face and that block out the light if you hold the mask up to a bright light source. It is good for the mask to come with your choice of either head straps or ear straps, both adjustable. It is also good if the mask has different sizes ranging from kids to adults to ensure everyone stays protected.
8.What is most important about a mask according to the first paragraph
A.Offering passive filtration.
B.Offering active protection.
C.Working for long hours.
D.Filtering out all particles.
9.Why should a mask have a robust nose wire
A.To shape your face.
B.To block out the light.
C.To offer different sizes ranging from kids to adults.
D.For you to adjust the shape and prevent air escaping.
10.Which of the following can’t be adjusted
A.The size. B.The ear strap.
C.The nose wire. D.The head strap.
11.Whom is the passage intended for
A.Kids. B.Doctors.
C.Citizens. D.Mask makers.

I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper Mischievous behavior Late for school None of them. I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office. The school doctor would tell me I haven' received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would exempt me from the shots and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post reeve more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do. It wasn't special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don' t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccinated despite the opposition.
12.What do we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A.He was born disabled. B.He was hardly ever vaccinated.
C.He suffered a lot from tetanus. D.He grew up with his single mother.
13.What made the author nervous at the beginning of each school year
A.He was late for school.
B.He didn't behave himself.
C.He couldn't hand in his term paper on time.
D.He would be called to the headmaster's office.
14.How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician
A.Annoyed B.Grateful C.Excited D.Guilty
15.What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story
A.Listening to your mother pays off. B.Doing the right thing matters.
C.Keeping fit is the best policy. D.Asking for advice helps.

You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. 16 It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and know-how from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars.
There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. 17
It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. 18 It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.
19 That is camping in a national park under a star-filled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.
When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world comes alive at night and is waiting to be explored. 20
A. Get prepared for the wonder above.
B. Just go outside at night and look up.
C. You are supposed to avoid the full moon.
D. It also matters which direction you observe.
E. In these places, you can look for the Milky Way.
F. What is the better way to experience the great wonder
G. Where do you prefer to have a stargazing trip at night

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4.Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could
A.Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B.Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C.Because his blood is valuable.
D.Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
5.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A.Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B.Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C.Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.
D.Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.
6.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B.After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C.Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D.A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .
7.Which word can best describe Harrison
A.Patient. B.Diligent.
C.Talented. D.Devoted.

When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉) , making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激)to do so. ”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳动物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author, Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
8.What is the new finding about bees
A.They are fond of having fun.
B.They are faithful to the queen.
C.They are adaptable to changes.
D.They are skilled at rolling balls.
9.How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment
A.By teaching bees new tricks.
B.By rewarding bees with food.

The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities all absorb heat during the day, making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day—and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These “urban heat islands” can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms.
According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract (收缩) enough to cause potential damage. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says the study’s author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University.
The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard (危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with soft er ground — especially those near water — Rotta Loria says. “There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize,” he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.
Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own.
But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.
12. What can we learn about the “urban heat islands”
A. They can develop underground structures. B. They are impacted by global warming.
C. They can destroy the ground around. D. They only exist in the United States.
13. Why does Alessandro F. Rotta Loria mention “silent hazard” in paragraph 3
A. To discuss structural issues. B. To categorize climate change.
C. To explain underground heat. D. To emphasize the neglected reality.
14. What will the author probably write about in the paragraph that follows
A. The future of tunnels and basements. B. The reusing approaches of heat energy.
C. The cost of maintaining structures. D. The evolution of underground environment.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Warming Underground, Weakening Surface B. A Silver Lining of Global Warming
C. Urban Silent Islands in the Making D. A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago

What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 16 Such people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 17 Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 18
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 19 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
20 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A.Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.
B.Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C.Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D.On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E.Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.
F.Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G.These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1. D 2.A 3.B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个度假的好去处。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章中介绍“Northumberland castle”的句子“Dublin countryside, £198 per adult, kids stay free and free breakfast”中,Dublin is a great city for kids, with both fun and educational visits from the Leprechaun Museum to the Dublin Writers Museum.(都柏林是一个适合孩子们的城市,从 the Leprechaun Museum 到the Dublin Writers Museum 都有有趣和有教育意义的参观)”可知,如果游客想让他们的孩子去既 有趣又有教育意义的地方,Dublincountry side适合。故选D项。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章中介绍“Woolacombe Bay,Devon”的句子“Free indoor all-weather facilities include a heated swimming pool, children's play areas, a cinema, clubs for youngsters and entertainment.(免费的室内全天 候设施包括恒温游泳池、儿童游乐区、电影院、青少年俱乐部和娱乐设施)”可知,此处特色是有免费的室 内全天候设施。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章在介绍“Northumberland castle”的信息“£99.50peradult, kids go free(每位成人99.50 英镑,儿童免费)”可知,成人每人99.50,孩子免费,所以一对夫妇带着两个孩子要付99.50×2=199。故选 B项。
【答案】4.B 5.C 6.C 7.D 【分析】本文为记叙文。文章主要叙述Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命,因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次,他自然产生RH阴性血,其中含有RH阳性抗体,拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血也促进了未来的澳大利亚抗D计划。 4.细节理解题。第一段“At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.” 14岁时,詹姆斯·哈里森做了一次大的胸部手术,手术后他需要13个加仑的血液。有人献血挽救了他的生命,于是他决定一旦年满18岁,就开始尽可能地定期献血。由此可推出,詹姆斯·哈里森决定尽可能地定期献血是因为他小的时有人献血挽救了他。故选B。 5.词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献,”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow说,“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾 巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项(哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾·巴洛)符合题意,故选C。 6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.”可知,的医生说应该让詹姆斯·哈里森停止献血了。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制,现在为了保护他的健康,他们正在切断他的血液供应。最后一段“Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.” 詹姆斯·哈里森退休对澳大利亚的Rh治疗计划是一个打击。只有160名捐赠者支持这项计划,找到新的献血者是很困难的。但詹姆斯 哈里森退出献血并不意味着他完全退出了比赛。科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA,以建立一个抗体和白细胞库,这可能是澳大利亚抗D计划的未来。由此可推断出詹姆斯 哈里森退出这个项目,但却促进了科学家收集和编目他的DNA,将要建立一个抗D和白细胞库。由此可推断出哈里森退休后对Rh项目还有影响。分析选项可知C项(哈里森退休后对Rh项目的影响仍然存在)符合题意,故选C。 7.推理判断题。本文主要叙述是Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命,因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血。60年里他献血近1200次,他自然产生RH阴性血,其中含有RH阳性抗体,拯救了数百万婴儿。他的献血精神就是一种奉献精神,挽救了许多人,更感动了许多。文章中献血(即对他人的奉献精神)一词,贯穿全文。分析选项A. Patient.耐心的;B. Diligent. 勤奋的; C. Talented. 天才的;D. Devoted.奉献精神的。故选D。 【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词句题。事实上,阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词句是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式,这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文(各种已知信息)并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第2小题词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上句“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies...” 罗宾说“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗-D药物都含有詹姆斯的捐献,”Rh项目主管Robyn Barlow告诉悉尼先驱晨报说。“这是一件了不起的事情。他救了数百万婴儿”。故划线句子“I cry just thinking about it”是说罗宾 巴洛为詹姆斯的献血而感动。分析选项可知C项(哈里森的捐款感动了罗宾 巴洛)符合题意,故选C。
【答案】8.A 9.C 10.B 11.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究结果表明昆虫的思维比人类想象的复杂。这项研究对于保护昆虫有很大的作用。 8.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话“The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.(这种勤劳的昆虫可以在困难的时候改变自己的行为,现在一些科学家发现有证据表明它们也喜欢玩耍)”可知,新的研究表明蜜蜂喜欢玩耍。故选A。 9.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句话“In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.(在这种情况下,为了摆脱外部因素,科学家们确保蜜蜂已经适应了他们的新家,并且他们的环境没有压力)”可推知,为了消除外部因素,他们让蜜蜂适应新家,让他们有了家的感觉,从而对环境感觉不到压力。故选C。 10.细节理解题。根据第四段 Lars Chittka说的话“This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳动物)and birds,(这项研究有力地表明,昆虫的思维远比我们想象的复杂。有很多动物只是为了享乐而玩耍,但大多数例子来自于年轻的哺乳动物和鸟类)”可知, Lars Chittka的话表明了昆虫的思维非常复杂。故选B。 11.细节理解题。根据最后一段Samadi Galpay所说的话“This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more.(这一发现对我们理解昆虫的感觉和福利产生了影响,从而鼓励我们更加尊重和保护地球上的野生动物)”可知,该研究结果有助于保护地球上的野生动物。故选D。
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地下气候变暖对城市地面建筑的负面影响的隐蔽性与长期性,以及介绍潜在的解决方案. 12. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms. (现在随着地球变暖,地下热量正在积聚)”可知,“城市热岛”是受到全球气候变暖的影响。故选B。 13. 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Alessandro F. Rotta Loria所说的““There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize(发生的这种地下气候变化可能已经造成了建筑结构上的问题,我们甚至没有意识到)”以及最后一句话“While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.(虽然这不是对人类生命的直接或直接威胁,但这种以前未知的影响突显了气候变化中一个鲜为人知的组成部分的影响)”可推知,提出“无声的危险”是想强调地下气候变暖这一被人忽略的事实。故选D。 14. 推理判断题。根据第五段“But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.(但接受采访的其他研究人员都表示,这些浪费的能源也可以回收利用,这为冷却地下和节省能源成本提供了机会。地铁隧道和地下室可以更新技术以重新获取热量。例如,可以安装水管穿过地下热点并吸收一些热能)”可知,该段是介绍针对地下气候变暖提出了潜在的解决方案,即可以通过更新地铁隧道和地下室的相关技术来回收利用热能,并举例了可通过安装水管这种方法来获取热能。由此推知,接下来应该是介绍对这种热能的再使用方法。故选B。 15. 主旨大意题。通过归纳各段大意可知,本文是介绍地下气候变暖对城市地面建筑的负面影响的隐蔽性与长期性,以及介绍潜在的解决方案。由此可知,“地下变暖,地表变弱”适合作本文的标题。故选A。
【答案】16.F 17.A 18.D 19.B 20.G 【导语】这是一篇议论文。近年来教育技术和在线辅导公司崛起了,许多人认为,它们可能有一天完全取代正规学校教育,文章就此进行论证,指出学校教育不会过时。 16.上文“The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms.(过去几年见证了教育技术和在线辅导公司的崛起。)”提到教育技术和在线辅导公司崛起了,空处应该承接上文,具体说明教育技术和在线辅导公司的崛起,F选项“Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.(许多人认为,它们可能有一天完全取代正规学校教育。)”符合,指出许多人认为教育技术和在线辅导公司崛起了,有一天会完全代替正轨学校教育,同时和下文是转折关系,下文“Such people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.(然而,这些人却完全忽视了一件事,那就是教师的重要性,而正是这一点使得在合适的课堂上学习变得不可替代。)”中的“Such people”指代选项中的“Many”,故选F。 17.上文“The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. (互联网上关于任何特定主题的信息比任何一个人希望拥有的都要多。)”指出互联网拥有的信息很多,下文“Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom.(知道“西红柿是一种水果”是信息,而不把它放在水果沙拉是智慧。这个例子很好地说明了智慧在日常生活中的重要性。书籍和互联网可以给你信息,但只有老师才能传授智慧。)”指出互联网能提供给我们信息,但是却不能传递给我们智慧,所以空处应该引起下文,指出互联网缺乏智慧,A项“Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.(然而,智慧是它严重缺乏的东西。)”符合,引起下文,故选A。 18.上文“Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom(书籍和互联网可以给你信息,但只有老师才能传授智慧。)”指出只有老师才能传授给我们智慧,此处说明了老师的重要性,空处应该承接上文,D项“On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.(在这一点上,教师的重要性永远不应该被低估。)”符合,对上文进行总结,故选D。 19.上文“You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. (你可以开发最令人惊叹的在线辅导平台,并用令人惊叹和有趣的视频填充它,但这是永远不够的。)”指出作为老师,你可以开发最令人惊叹的在线辅导平台,并用令人惊叹和有趣的视频填充它,但这是不够的,因为每个学生都会独一无二的,下文“But videos are made for a general audience. (但是视频是为普通观众制作的。)”说明了这一点,即为普通大众制作的视频是不适合所有学生的,因为每个学生都是独一无二的,B项“Every single student is unique in his or her own way.(每个学生都是独一无二的。)”符合,故选B。 20.下文“While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.(虽然说明教师重要性的理由列表有点太长,不能放在一篇文章里,但这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声。)”指出文章提到的这两种方法足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人噤声,因此空处应该引起下文,提到这两种方法,G项“These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.(这只是教师对学生产生巨大影响的两种方式。)”符合,故选G。

Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit
Mars (The Martian)
When you search for a location to stand in for the surface of another world, The Wadi Rum Protected Area in far southern Jordan is a good place to start. With the impressive “vast and echoing and God-like” landscape, it served as the background of Matt Damon’s 18-month stay on the red planet in The Martian.
Jurassic Park
The Hawaiian islands were the locations for some of Jurassic Park’s most memorable scenes. Kauai provides the rough coastline and some of the most breathtaking features of the fictional Isla Nublar, while the rolling hills of Oahu’s Kualoa Ranch function as the background of the Gallimimus stampede (逃亡).
Hobbiton
Unlike the other locations in this list, the Shire is a wholly artificial set, built on a sheep farm on New Zealand’s North Island. Created for Peter Jackson’s big-screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hobbiton began to draw curious fans shortly after the release of the first film in the series. In time, what began as a temporary location designed to host a three-month movie shoot has evolved into a Tolkienesque theme park with over 350,000 visitors annually.
King’s Landing
The HBO series Game of Thrones brings to life the many locations of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, but the conflict of sex, swords, and trickery reaches its peak in the capital of King’s Landing. The “real” capital of Westeros can be found in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The city’s 16th-century fortress walls overlook Blackwater Bay, while the parks, avenues, and alleys of the old city have witnessed the triumphs and tragedies of House Lannister.
1. Which of the four locations should you visit if you are a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien
A. Mars (The Martian). B. Jurassic Park. C. Hobbiton. D. King’s Landing.
2. What do the movie locations Mars and Jurassic Park have in common
A. They are both on the coast. B. They demonstrate magnificent views.
C. They can represent another world. D. They are set for only one film.
3. What can visitors do in King’s Landing

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start anew day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
4. Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president
A. To arrange an interview. B. To make an advertisement.
C. To employ more clerks. D. To get a position.
5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2
A. Tolerant and ambitious. B. Demanding and successful.
C. Tough and competent. D. Optimistic and agreeable.
6. Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch
A. He hoped to relive college life. B. He wanted to influence others’ lives.
C. He had an engagement. D. His investment was not satisfying.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job B. Challenge Your Career Choice
C. Hard Work Pays Off D. Dare to Take Risks

Video calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line Scientists are making this a reality.
Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch. Haptic technology mimics (模仿) the experience of touch by stimulating small areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world, through force, vibration (震动) or motion.
Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices, such as one attached to the back of a trackpad (触控板) in laptops, which mimics a button clicking. However, haptic feedback with vibration becomes less sensitive when used continuously. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.
The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.
“Our three-way directional skin stretch device, built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin — it’s soft, stretchable and mimics the sense of touch — and will enable new forms of haptic communication to enhance everyday activities,” said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.
It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with integrated (集成的) 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And his/her glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.
The haptic devices could be applied in various scenarios, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues with surgical tools without touching them.
8.What’s the main purpose of the text
A.To encourage the use of a new product.
B.To inform readers of a new invention.
C.To compare different haptic devices.
D.To introduce the development of haptic technology.
9.What can we learn about the SSD
A.It mimics the sense of touch through a trackpad.
B.It mainly uses vibration technology.
C.It takes the shape of a glove.
D.It makes virtual haptic communication possible.
10.What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A.The advantages of the new haptic glove.
B.The applications of the new haptic technology.
C.An explanation of how the haptic device works.
D.A personal experience of using SSDs during a video call.
11.How could the new haptic device benefit people
A.It could replace video calls as a way to communicate.
B.it could be used for recreating organ tissues.
C.Doctors could perform surgeries at once.
D.Users could feel remote objects in a realistic way.

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”
However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”
12.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ______.
A.to change the working conditions of models
B.to lower the chance of skinny models’ death
C.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
13.In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because _______.
A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B.the fashion industry is much too influential
C.it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models
D.it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well
14.What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation
A.Being interviewed by a reporter.
B.Establishing his fashion model agent.
C.Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.
D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
15.According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is _____ .
A.practical B.controversial
C.acceptable D.reasonable

The power of positive thinking
Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty 16 Do they focus on the positives (a half-full glass) or the negatives (a half-empty one) Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.
17
Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.
Worrying is like a fire alarm.
Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.
Learn to think positively.
Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20
A.Your genes will in turn help obtain it.
B.This question makes you lost in thought.
C.Why is thinking positively good for you
D.Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.
E.Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.
F.However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.
G.This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.

A skywell, or "tian jing", is a typical feature of a traditional home in China. 1 a northern Chinese courtyard, or “yuan zi”a skywell is smaller and less exposed to the outdoor environment. They are 2 seen in homes dating to Ming and Qing dynasties, which were designed to 3 different generations of relatives.
Although a skywell's size and design vary from region to region, it is always rectangular and located in the Core of a house, either 4 by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the 5 breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air 6 by replacing warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.
The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light, improve ventilation (通风) and 7 rainwater. In Huizhou, a skywell is small but tall, and the rooms around it can 8 sunlight on hot days, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. 9 hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell, which“works just like a 10 ”
As a(n) 11 space between indoor life and the outdoor environment, a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside. But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.
Evaporated water cools hot air, a process known as evaporative cooling which is 12 in Huizhou skywells. In the past, Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth. Skywells therefore have channels around them to 13 rainwater coming from the roofs.
Though existing in China for hundreds of years, in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern 14 . Over the past two decades, however, due to a 15 of traditional Chinese architecture, skywell buildings have been making a comeback.

The stands were always filled with family members to support their favorite players. I attended each of my son’s games. His father worked nights for years, and missed out on most of his games. My son Jorden knew if his dad could, he would be there sitting right beside me.
When Jorden was younger, some family members would occasionally come to watch. But gradually they stopped showing up. Never once did Jorden lead me to believe that this bothered him, but apparently it did. It wasn’t until when he was asked to give a speech at his baseball event that he made it very clear not only to me but a room filled with over 150 people just how important it is to have extra fans in the stands.
His speech was anything but like I thought it would be. It wasn’t short and bittersweet. It wasn’t his quick thank you to his coaches and teammates. He poured his heart out, saying he seldom had grandparents, aunts or uncles coming to support him. He was grateful that his teammates’ family members showed up to support not just their own loved ones but the entire team of boys. Clearly Jorden desired more than just me. Never did I ever think my son would be hurting inside as he looked out to the bleachers to see only me at each and every game.
As he struggled to get each word out through tears, I promised I would attend as many events of the children around as I possibly could. There was no way I could allow another child to feel what my son was feeling. This small simple gesture would mean so much to any child. Neither Jorden nor I was upset with those who never attended his games. Jorden just wanted someone else besides me to witness his craft in action. I understand all of our lives become complicated and that everyone is busy with their own children and jobs that may not allow them as much free time as they’d like.
4. What do we know about Jorden’s father
A. He had long been misunderstood by Jorden. B. He had few chances to attend Jorden’s games.
C. He managed to be with Jorden in every game. D. He had made excuses to miss Jorden’s games.
5. What was Jorden’s speech about
A. His ambition to win the championship. B. His gratitude to his mother and coaches.
C. His complaint about his family members. D. His desire for support from more people.
6. What does the author think of Jorden’s speech
A. Depressing. B. Complicated. C. Astonishing. D. Absurd.
7. How did the author respond to Jorden’s speech
A. She tried to be actively involved in children’s games.
B. She promised not to miss out on games of every child.
C. She offered to invite many relatives to Jorden’s games.
D. She decided to lead Jorden to trust his family members.

It is easy to be doubtful about announcements of drugs that claim to slow the progress of Alzheimers, the most common form of dementia(痴呆). A new drug called Lecanemab, however, may be the real deal Results of a clinical trial, conducted by its makers, Eisai, of Tokyo, and Biogen, of Cambridge Massachusetts, have just been announced in the New England Journal of Medicine(November; 2022). After18 months, it had slowed the progress of symptoms by a quarter.
The trial involved 1795 participants who were in the early stages of the illness. Half received the drug The others, a placebo(安慰剂). It showed two things. One was the modest but measurable slowing of progression. The other was that an explanation of Alzheimers called the Amyloid Hypothesis(淀粉样蛋白假说) seems correct.
Amyloid is a protein which accumulates in parts of the brains of those with Alzheimers, which is an established sign of the illness. Lecanemab, containing a special antibody, is found to be able to attach itself to amyloid and then attracts immune-system cells to clear the protein away (and measurably did so in those receiving the drug).That suggests amyloid does indeed directly create problems associated with dementia and that Lecanemab can slow down the development of the disease.
This is a small first step. Some experts question whether the test used to show an improvement in symptoms is clinically meaningful because amyloid can be detected only with the help of a piece of expensive equipment, which is not something that can easily be turned into a routine program. Moreover, Lecanemab also caused swelling and bleeding of the brain in a number of participants. Now that the new drug has been shown to work, it can be followed up with further tests. Hope for more good news soon.
8.What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A.The public shows confidence in new drugs for Alzheimers.
B.All participants didn’t receive the new drug.
C.The new drug had an obvious effect on the participants.
D.It took 18 months to make the new drug.
9.The author explains the effectiveness of the new drug by _______.
A.illustrating how the drug interacts with amyloid in body
B.describing how immune-system works in detail
C.making comparisons between two groups of participants
D.quoting the comments of other scientists
10.Which of the following is a drawback of the new drug
A.It can’t be accessed easily in daily treatment.
B.It can cause some side-effects.
C.It costs too much for ordinary families.
D.It needs to be further tested before its launch.
11.What does the author think of Lecanemab
A.Reliable. B.Groundbreaking
C.Promising D.Risky.

The curb cut (路缘坡). It’s a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by Policy Link CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)” and that it is commonly believed that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (密商) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to prevent the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
12. What does the underlined quote from the disability rights leader imply concerning a six-inch curb
A. It is an unforgettable symbol. B. It is an impassable barrier.
C. It is an important sign. D. It is an impressive landmark.
13. According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe
A. It’s not worthwhile to promote health equity.
B. It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled.
C. It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally.
D. It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.
14. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A. Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B. Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C. Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D. Classic literature got translated into many languages.
15. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.
B. Action empowers those with opportunities for better solutions.
C. Society should create circumstances that get everyone involved.
D. Everyday items are originally invented for people in need of help.

Does the happiness of parents play a role in shaping the overall happiness of their children Scientific studies have shed light on the far-reaching connection between parental happiness and the positive development of kids. It seems that parental happiness has an important influence on the emotional, social, and cognitive (认知的) development of children. 16 If they know their mental and emotional happiness has an impact on their children, perhaps it can motivate them to view it as part of being a good parent.
17 For example, they can join in activities that bring them joy and satisfaction. This could include hobbies, exercise, pursuing personal goals, or taking time for relaxation. When parents improve their own happiness, they can better support their children’s happiness.
Another great idea is sharing experiences and creating many memories together. The idea is twofold. 18 At the same time, the shared experiences and showing their children how happy they are to do something they love can be incredibly valuable as well.
One of the main aspects of being happy parents is feeling comfortable, confident and able to be themselves, despite their new status and huge responsibility. Honestly, when parents prioritize their own happiness, it has positive effects on the overall happiness of the family. 19
When parents put their own happiness first, they become role models for their kids. They see the importance of self-care, pursuing passions and maintaining healthy relationships. 20 So, parents should accept their uniqueness, enjoying life!
A.However, part of being responsible is being honest.
B.They are passing on some major life skills and attitudes.
C.They may lose a bit of their sense of self when caring for children.
D.Parents can adopt practical ways to enhance their own happiness.
E.A joyful and harmonious family environment benefits everyone involved.
F.This can happen when parents prioritize their own happiness according to Inc.
G.Firstly, the parents continue to be themselves and do something they love.

Years ago, I lived in the English midlands and would walk the same route along the local canal each evening. On winter mornings, I would see the 1 sight of bird flocks dancing across the landscape, a distant cacophony (刺耳的嘈杂声) 2 above the fields. They were jackdaws (寒鸦), the smallest member of the crow family.
Research led by Masters student Alex Dibnah asked: Why are jackdaws so loud when they 3 Then he began to work with a team. The team’s 4 was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of “ 5 ”. Each individual’s call might 6 as an “I’m in!” helping them coordinate(协调) their 7 .

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何使用悉尼公交的一种乘车证。SydneyPass提供3,5,7天不等的 悉尼的海港城市,海湾和海滩等地旅游路线。 1. 细节推理题。根据第二段最后一句CityRailservices (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city 可判断,故选 D. 2. 细节推理题。根据AllSydneyPasses include a freeAirport Express inward trip 可知有乘车卡可以节省来往机 场的费用,故选A. 3. 推理判断题。根据图表和下面的说明可知:Childrenunder4yearstravelfree,说明三岁的孩子免费,所以 两个成年人是240元加上两个小孩120元,共360元。故选C.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者一开始经常缺席儿子的比赛,直到一次儿子在演讲中吐露心声后,作者决定试图积极参与孩子们的比赛的故事。 4. 细节理解题。根据第一段“The stands were always filled with family members to support their favorite players. I attended each of my son’s games. His father worked nights for years, and missed out on most of his games. My son Jorden knew if his dad could, he would be there sitting right beside me.”(看台上总是坐满了支持他们最喜欢的球员的家庭成员。我儿子的每场比赛我都去看了。他的父亲常年上夜班,错过了他的大部分比赛。我的儿子乔登知道,如果他爸爸可以,他会坐在我身边。)可知,乔登的父亲很少有机会观看乔登的比赛。故选B项。 5 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t until when he was asked to give a speech at his baseball event that he made it very clear not only to me but a room filled with over 150 people just how important it is to have extra fans in the stands.”(乔登从来没有让我相信这让他感到困扰,但显然他确实感到困扰。直到他被邀请在他的棒球活动上发表演讲时,他才向我,也向一个坐满150多人的房间清楚地表明,看台上有更多的球迷是多么重要。)可推知,从乔登的演讲中我们能了解到他渴望得到更多人的支持。故选D项。 6. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“His speech was anything but like I thought it would be. It wasn’t short and bittersweet. It wasn’t his quick thank you to his coaches and teammates. He poured his heart out, saying he seldom had grandparents, aunts or uncles coming to support him. He was grateful that his teammates’ family members showed up to support not just their own loved ones but the entire team of boys. Clearly Jorden desired more than just me.”(他的演讲完全不像我想象的那样。它并不短暂,也不是苦乐参半。这不是他对教练和队友的快速感谢。他倾吐心声,说他很少有祖父母、阿姨或叔叔来支持他。他很感激队友的家人不仅支持自己的亲人,还支持整个球队。显然乔登想要的不只是我。)可推知,作者认为乔登的演讲是令人吃惊的。故选C项。 7. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As he struggled to get each word out through tears, I promised I would attend as many events of the children around as I possibly could. There was no way I could allow another child to feel what my son was feeling. This small simple gesture would mean so much to any child.”(当他含泪挣扎着说出每一个字时,我向他保证,我会尽可能多地参加周围孩子们的活动。我不可能让另一个孩子感受我儿子的感受。这个简单的举动对任何一个孩子来说都意义重大。)可知, 对于乔登的演讲,作者决定试图积极参与孩子们的比赛。故选A项。
【答案】8.B 9.A 10.B 11.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们很容易对那些宣称可以减缓阿尔茨海默氏症(老年痴呆症中最常见的一种)病情发展的药物表示怀疑。然而,一种名为Lecanemab的新药可能是真正的药物。 8.细节理解题。根据第二段“The trial involved 1795 participants who were in the early stages of the illness. Half received the drug The others, a placebo. It showed two things. One was the modest but measurable slowing of progression. The other was that an explanation of Alzheimers called the Amyloid Hypothesis seems correct.”(该试验涉及1795名处于疾病早期阶段的参与者。一半人服用药物,另一半人服用安慰剂。这说明了两件事。其中之一是缓慢但可测量的进展。另一个是对阿尔茨海默症的一种解释叫做淀粉样蛋白假说似乎是正确的。)可知,我们可以从前两段中了解到并非所有参与者都服用了这种新药。故选B项。 9.细节理解题。根据第三段“Amyloid is a protein which accumulates in parts of the brains of those with Alzheimers, which is an established sign of the illness. Lecanemab, containing a special antibody, is found to be able to attach itself to amyloid and then attracts immune-system cells to clear the protein away (and measurably did so in those receiving the drug). That suggests amyloid does indeed directly create problems associated with dementia and that Lecanemab can slow down the development of the disease.”(淀粉样蛋白是阿尔茨海默氏症患者大脑中积聚的一种蛋白质,这是该疾病的一个明确迹象。Lecanemab含有一种特殊的抗体,被发现能够附着在淀粉样蛋白上,然后吸引免疫系统细胞将蛋白质清除掉(在接受该药物的患者中确实如此)。这表明淀粉样蛋白确实会直接导致与痴呆症相关的问题,而Lecanemab可以减缓疾病的发展。)可知,作者通过说明药物与体内淀粉样蛋白的相互作用来说明新药的有效性。故选A项。 10.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Moreover, Lecanemab also caused swelling and bleeding of the brain in a number of participants.”(此外,Lecanemab还导致一些参与者大脑肿胀和出血。)可知,它会引起一些副作用是新药的缺点。故选B项。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now that the new drug has been shown to work, it can be followed up with further tests. Hope for more good news soon.”(既然这种新药已被证明有效,就可以进行进一步的试验了。希望很快会有更多的好消息。)可推知,作者认为Lecanemab是有希望的。故选C项。
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要通过“路缘坡效应”讲述了当社会为弱势群体创造便利时,可能也会同时帮助其他群体,从而惠及所有人。 12. 短语猜测题。根据第三段中画线词前一句“That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance.(对于坐轮椅的人来说,这是一件大事,因为没有坡道可以帮助他们在没有帮助的情况下沿着城市街区移动。)”可知,在没有坡道时,坐轮椅的人没有办法上下路缘,这里一位残疾人权益领导说一个六英尺高的路缘“might as well have been Mount Everest”,即相当于珠穆朗玛峰,由此可推测出,这暗示了一个六英尺高的路缘对坐轮椅的人来说是一个难以通过的障碍。故选B。 13. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as ‘a zero-sum game(零和游戏)’ and that it is commonly believed that there is a ‘prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.’(Blackwell正确地指出,许多人将公平视为‘零和游戏’,人们普遍认为存在‘有成见的社会怀疑:故意支持一个群体会伤害另一个群体。’)”可知,许多人认为公平是“零和游戏”,即一方的收益必然造成另一方的损失,他们普遍认为故意支持一个群体会伤害另一个群体。由此可推测出,许多人认为公平对待所有人是不可能的。故选C。 14. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that ‘when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.’(不过,Blackwell说,路缘坡效应表明,‘当社会创造环境,让那些落后的人能够充分参与并做出贡献时,每个人都会赢。’)”可知,路缘坡效应表明,当社会创造环境,让那些落后的人能够充分参与并做出贡献时,每个人都会赢。结合四个选项可知,代表先进技术中国四大发明传入当时条件落后的西方,让西方国家学习到了新技术,同时为欧洲人开辟新航路、打开世界市场提供了条件,从而给整个世界带来了改变,这是共赢的局面。故选B。 15. 推理判断题。通读全文可知,最后一段“So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.(所以,下次你过马路,或者把行李箱推过人行横道,或者直接骑自行车上人行道时,想想路缘坡,这种设计上的改变打破了对弱势群体的排斥,不仅帮助了这一群体,也帮助了我们所有人。)”进行了总结,路缘坡这种设计不仅帮助了弱势群体,也帮助了所有人,这就是“路缘坡效应”,当我们关心弱势群体时,也可能最后让所有人受益。故选A。
【答案】16.F 17.D 18.G 19.E 20.B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了科学研究揭示父母的幸福和孩子的积极发展之间的深远联系,父母的幸福似乎对孩子的情感、社交和认知发展有着重要的影响。 16.上文“It seems that parental happiness has an important influence on the emotional, social, and cognitive (认知的) development of children.”(父母的幸福似乎对孩子的情感、社交和认知发展有着重要的影响。)讲的是父母的幸福对孩子的影响,以及下文“If they know their mental and emotional happiness has an impact on their children, perhaps it can motivate them to view it as part of being a good parent.”(如果他们知道他们的精神和情感上的幸福对他们的孩子有影响,也许这可以激励他们把它看作是一个好父母的一部分。)介绍具体的某一个方面的影响,F项This can happen when parents prioritize their own happiness according to Inc.(根据Inc的说法,当父母优先考虑自己的幸福时,这种情况就会发生。)承接上文内容,同时引起下文,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 17.下文“For example, they can join in activities that bring them joy and satisfaction.”(例如,他们可以参加给他们带来快乐和满足的活动。)举例讲参加快乐和满足的活动。由此可推知,空格处应为父母可以通过行动来提升幸福感。D项Parents can adopt practical ways to enhance their own happiness.(父母可以采取切实可行的方法来提高自己的幸福感。)符合此推断,下文是对空格处内容的具体解释。故选D项。 18.上文“The idea is twofold.”(这个想法是双重的。)提到两种主意。以及下文“At the same time, the shared experiences and showing their children how happy they are to do something they love can be incredibly valuable as well.”(与此同时,分享经验并向孩子展示他们做自己喜欢的事情是多么快乐也是非常有价值的。)讲的是另外一种主意。由此可推断出空格处内容为其中之一的想法或主意。G项Firstly, the parents continue to be themselves and do something they love.(首先,父母继续做自己,做自己喜欢的事情。)为一方面的想法和主意,上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 19.由该空格处位于该段句尾可知,为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“One of the main aspects of being happy parents is feeling comfortable, confident and able to be themselves, despite their new status and huge responsibility. Honestly, when parents prioritize their own happiness, it has positive effects on the overall happiness of the family.”(成为快乐父母的一个主要方面是感到舒适、自信、能够做自己,尽管他们有新身份和巨大的责任。老实说,当父母优先考虑自己的幸福时,它对家庭的整体幸福有积极的影响。)讲的是父母优先考虑自己的幸福时,对家庭的整体幸福有积极的影响。E项A joyful and harmonious family environment benefits everyone involved.(一个快乐和谐的家庭环境使每个人都受益。)和上文内容相关,为总结该段内容,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 20.上文“When parents put their own happiness first, they become role models for their kids. They see the importance of self-care, pursuing passions and maintaining healthy relationships.”(当父母把自己的幸福放在第一位时,他们就会成为孩子们的榜样。他们看到了自我照顾、追求激情和维持健康关系的重要性。)讲的是父母成为孩子们的榜样,看到了自我照顾技能等生活态度。B项They are passing on some major life skills and attitudes.(他们正在传授一些重要的生活技能和态度。)和上文内容意思一致,为上文内容的语意递进,上下文语意连贯。故选B项。

Sometimes people can find new interest in old things. For me, it was discovering a love for ballet more than 15 years after I first started training.
My parents put me in ballet classes as a young girl and I just sort of kept going. I don’t know I had any particular passion for it. I quitted. It felt like I was slowly closing a chapter in my life, with no particular sorrow about the matter.
Years later, something, maybe boredom, led me to a decision to start classes at a studio, where I met a group of middle-aged ballet lovers, all of them starting ballet as adults.
Stepping into the ballet studio again unearthed a whole set of unexpected feelings. I wasn’t strong or flexible enough to accomplish moves that used to be second nature. I had to stop to adjust my breath after each combination in the center. Mostly, I felt ashamed. But those women cheered me on. The longer I watched them in class, the more I was moved. This was the point staring me right in the face—it didn’t matter; they just loved to dance. Their passion for ballet helped me see it in a new light. It didn’t need to be competitive; it was something people did for fun, no matter what their skill level is. Slowly, it began to feel challenging in a good way. I started having fun. I’ve found that when we dance, it’s an exercise in directing our energy to a number of different areas.
When we stepped on stage for our year-end performance, I felt the effects of that sustained attention and my body flowed through well-practiced movements. I was totally lost in bright stage lights and felt the whole world belonged to me. After the performance, one of the audience came to me and remarked, “Wow, I can tell you really like to dance!” I smiled and nodded. It was true.
4. What did the author think of ballet at first
A. It opened a new page in her life.
B. It required great determination.
C. It killed her passion for dance.
D. It made little difference to her.
5. What inspired the author’s interest in ballet
A. Her parents’ encouragement.
B. The easy atmosphere in class.
C. Other dancers’ love for ballet.
D. Modern instruments in the studio.
6. What can best describe the yearend performance
A. Satisfactory. B. Improvable.
C. Regretful. D. Creative.
7. What can be learned from the text
A. Success needs enthusiasm.
B. Passion can be awakened.
C. Talent matters a great deal.

Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), created by openAI, an AI and research company, is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with a chatbot. The language model can answer questions, and assist you with tasks such as composing emails, essays and code.
ChatGPT is powered by a large language model, or LLM, meaning it’s programmed to understand human language and generate responses based on a large amount of data. What makes ChatGPT so impressive is its ability to log context from user’s earlier messages in a thread and use it to form responses later in the conversation.
According to analysis by Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest growing up app of all time. In January, only two months after its launch, UBS analysis estimates that ChatGPT had 100 million active users. For comparison, it took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous questions, the model just takes a guess at what your question means. “The primary problem is that the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect,” says Stack Overflow moderators in a post. Critics argue that these tools are just very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical pint of view, but they cannot understand the meaning or know whether the statements it makes are correct. Another major limitation is that ChatGPT’s data is limited to 2021.
ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people’s lives easier and to assist with everyday tiring tasks, such as writing an email or having to navigate the web for answers. However, there are certain technical details that have to be figured out before it’s widely used, to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation. In general, this AI model relies on lots of training and fine-tuning to reach a level of ideal performance.

A sheet of transparent new material at a University of Maryland lab looks like it might be plastic. But it’s actually wood—and it could eventually be used to make energy-efficient windows or even see-through buildings.
"Compared to glass, wood has lower heat conductivity, and it's lighter, stronger, and more environmentally friendly," says Liangbing Hu, a materials science professor at the University of Maryland and one of the authors of a new study of the material.
The idea is to employ the material in buildings. With a window made from transparent wood instead of glass, for example, a building would take less energy to heat and cool. Because of the structure of the wood, the windows could also reduce glare from the sun while allowing in natural light.
Researchers have experimented with transparent wood in the past, but the new method is more sustainable.
Other methods usually put the wood in a chemical compound Nacl to remove lignin, part of the wood that gives it structure. But this can weaken the wood, and it produces waste that is hard to recycle. Hu and his team made slight changes to the process so it doesn't fully remove the lignin. By brushing hydrogen peroxide(过氧化物) over the wood and leaving it under a UV light, they removed only the parts of the lignin that give it color. The result is transparent wood that can be coated in epoxy(环氧树脂).
It’s just one of a number of ways scientists and engineers are rethinking how we can use this renewable resource in construction. Skyscrapers made entirely out of wood are gaining popularity in cities around the world. And scientists recently discovered a technique to grow wood in a lab, opening up the possibility of using wood without having to cut down a forest.
The transparent wood is 50% stronger than previous transparent wood and could even be used to build load-bearing walls in a building. It could also potentially be used in other ways, such as layers used in solar cells. A new company called InventWood is working to commercialize the technology.
12.Why would people like to choose transparent wood in their buildings in preference to glass
A.It can conduct heat more quickly.
B.It is lighter and more delicate.
C.It can let light in with less heat.
D.It has higher energy consumption.
13.Compared with the experiment in the past, what is the difference of the new method
A.The new method is less environmentally friendly.
B.The new method can make the wood weaker.
C.Researchers brushed Nacl over the wood.
D.Researchers only took away the lignin related to color.
14.Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A.This see-through wood can replace glass windows.
B.This see-through wood is in mass production.
C.This transparent wood has been grown in labs.
D.This transparent wood is only popular in cities.
15.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A.The advantages of transparent wood.
B.The prospect of transparent wood.
C.The production of transparent wood.
D.The companies of transparent wood.

【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 【解析】本文是应用文。文章是2022年The Michel Gelrubin建筑奖的报名通知。 1.细节理解题。根据This Year’s Challenge的部分中的“This year’s competition invites proposals for projects that integrate at least 3 different uses into a building.(今年的竞赛邀请至少将三种不同用途整合到建筑中的项目提案。)”可知,该公司今年的重点是设计一座多功能建筑。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据Timeline部分中的“Submission Deadline: November 19th,2022(投稿截止日期:2022年11月19日)”可知,所有项目文件于2022年11月19日前提交。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据Materials部分中的“Posters that integrate the documents explaining the project(plans, sections, elevations, photos, renderings (透视图) , illustrations, images, diagrams, and text)(整合了项目说明文件(平面图、剖面图、立面图、照片、效果图、插图、图像、图表和文本)的海报)”和“All the documents must be written in English(所有文件必须用英文书写)”可知,提交的电子文件必须包括英文整合项目说明文件(包括平面图、剖面图、立面图、照片、透视图、插图、图片图表和文本)的海报。故选A。
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。作者尽管小时候学过芭蕾,但是当时没有特别的热情,直到15年以后又重拾芭蕾,并在身边一群成年后开始学习芭蕾舞的同伴们的热情鼓励下体会到了芭蕾带来的乐趣,激发出了对芭蕾的热爱。 4.推理判断题。根据第二段“My parents put me in ballet classes as a young girl and I just sort of kept going. I don’t know I had any particular passion for it. I quitted. It felt like I was slowly closing a chapter in my life, with no particular sorrow about the matter. (当我还是个小女孩的时候,我父母就让我去上芭蕾舞课,我就一直在跳。我不知道我对它有什么特别的热情。我离开。感觉就像我在慢慢地结束我生命中的一章,没有特别的悲伤。)”可知,作者在最初接触芭蕾的时候,没什么特别的热情,就算不再继续学也没有特别的恋恋不舍,故推知:芭蕾对于作者没什么影响力。故选D项。 5.推理判断题。根据“I wasn’t strong or flexible enough to accomplish moves that used to be second nature. I had to stop to adjust my breath after each combination in the center. Mostly, I felt ashamed. But those women cheered me on. The longer I watched them in class, the more I was moved. This was the point staring me right in the face—it didn’t matter; they just loved to dance. Their passion for ballet helped me see it in a new light. It didn’t need to be competitive; it was something people did for fun, no matter what their skill level is. Slowly, it began to feel challenging in a good way. I started having fun. I’ve found that when we dance, it’s an exercise in directing our energy to a number of different areas. (我不够强壮,也不够灵活,无法完成那些曾经是我第二天性的动作。每次在中间的组合后,我都要停下来调整呼吸。大多数时候,我感到羞愧。但那些女人为我加油。我在课堂上看得越久,我就越被感动。这一点就在我眼前——没关系;他们只是喜欢跳舞。他们对芭蕾的热情让我对芭蕾有了新的认识。它不需要竞争;这是人们为了好玩而做的事情,无论他们的技术水平如何。慢慢地,我开始觉得这是一种好的挑战。我开始玩得很开心。我发现,当我们跳舞时,这是一种将我们的能量引导到许多不同领域的练习。)”可知,尽管作者动作不到位,还容易使自己累着,同伴们给了她鼓励,所以激发作者对芭蕾的兴趣的是一起上课的其他的跳舞者对芭蕾的热情,故选C项。 6.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When we stepped on stage for our year-end performance, I felt the effects of that sustained attention and my body flowed through well-practiced movements. I was totally lost in bright stage lights and felt the whole world belonged to me. After the performance, one of the audience came to me and remarked, ‘Wow, I can tell you really like to dance!’ I smiled and nodded. It was true. (当我们走上舞台进行年终演出时,我感受到了这种持续关注的影响,我的身体在精心练习的动作中流淌。我完全迷失在明亮的舞台灯光下,感觉整个世界都属于我。演出结束后,一位观众走过来对我说:‘哇,我看得出来你真的很喜欢跳舞!’我微笑着点了点头。这是真的。)”可知,这次表演很成功,连观众都能看出作者喜欢跳舞,作者也认同,可推知,作者对于这次表演很满意。故选A项。 7.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“For me, it was discovering a love for ballet more than 15 years after I first started training. (对我来说,这是我在第一次开始训练超过15年后才发现对芭蕾舞的热爱。)”,本文介绍了作者尽管小时候学过芭蕾,但是当时没有特别的热情,直到多年以后又重拾芭蕾,并在一群成年后开始学习芭蕾舞的同伴们的热情鼓励下体会到了芭蕾带来的乐趣,故从文中我们可以了解“Passion can be awakened.(激情可以被唤醒。)”,故选B项。
【答案】8.D 9.A 10.C 11.B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了ChatGPT的概念,发展,局限以及未来。 8.细节理解题。根据第一段“Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), created by openAI, an AI and research company, is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with a chatbot. The language model can answer questions, and assist you with tasks such as composing emails, essays and code.(聊天生成型预训练转换器是由人工智能和研究公司openAI开发的,是一种由人工智能技术驱动的自然语言处理工具,可以让你与会话机器人进行类似人类的对话,甚至更多。语言模型可以回答问题,并帮助你完成诸如编写电子邮件、论文和代码等任务。)”可知,ChatGPT是一个对话式的人工智能工具。故选D项。 9.词句猜测题。划线词句前文“What makes ChatGPT so impressive is its ability to log context from user’s earlier messages in a thread(使ChatGPT如此令人印象深刻的是它能够记录用户在线程中的早期消息的语境)”说明ChatGPT可以记录用户在线程中的早期消息的上下文,从而推知划线词句“and use it to form responses later in the conversation.(在稍后的对话中使用它来做出回复。)”其中划线词应为“语境”的意思。故选A项。 10.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The primary problem is that the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect(主要问题是ChatGPT生成的答案错误率很高)”可知,ChatGPT的局限是精确性较差。故选C项。 11.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段中“ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people’s lives easier and to assist with everyday tiring tasks, such as writing an email or having to navigate the web for answers. However, there are certain technical details that have to be figured out before it’s widely used, to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation.(ChatGPT是一款先进的会话机器人,它有可能使人们的生活更轻松,并帮助人们完成日常繁重的任务,比如写电子邮件或浏览网页寻找答案。然而,在广泛使用之前,必须弄清楚某些技术细节,以防止诸如错误信息传播等负面后果。)”可知,作者既介绍了ChatGPT的优点,强大的功能赋予它减轻人们日常繁重任务的潜力,也指出了它的局限性,它提供的答案准确性有限且基于的数据不是最新的。由此推知,作者对ChatGPT持客观的态度。故选B项。
【答案】12.C 13.D 14.A 15.B 【解析】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了透明木头这一新型的建筑材料的制作原理及诸多优点,并可能在其他方面的潜在用途。 12.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“wood has lower heat conductivity, and it's lighter, stronger, and more environmentally friendly (木头具有更低的热传导性,并且它更轻、更结实也更环保)”和第三段“the windows could also reduce glare from the sun while allowing in natural light (窗户也能减少阳光照射的强度,并同时让自然光照射进屋子)”可知,安装透明木材装修家受到很多人的青睐,因为它具有很多优点。故选C。 13.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“they removed only the parts of the lignin that give it color(他们只移除了部分的让木头有颜色的木质素)”可知,跟之前的实验不一样的地方在于,这些研究者只移除了赋予木头颜色的木质素,故选D。 14.推理判断题。根据文章首段“But it’s actually wood—and it could eventually be used to make energy-efficient windows or even see-through buildings (但事实上,它是木头,并且它可以被用于制作节能型的窗户或者透视大楼)”可知,作者认为透明木头有可能取代现在的玻璃窗户。故选A。 15.主旨大意题。根据文章尾段“It could also potentially be used in other ways, such as layers used in solar cells. (它也可以有其他多种用途,比如用于太阳能电池的涂层)”可知,文章最后一段主要讲述了透明木头潜在的用途,故选B。
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕如何管理时间而展开。 16. 由上文“How much time does it take you to sleep, eat and commute every day (你每天花多少时间睡觉、吃饭和通勤?)”可知,设空处所填的句子应该是回答前句,连接后句给出事实的结果。而F项These basic activities take up an enormous part of your day.(这些基本活动占据了你一天中很大一部分时间。)符合语境,其中These basic activities和上文sleep, eat and commute 对应。 故选F项。 17. 由上文“Work out a plan in advance.(提前制定一个计划。)”可知,本段主要讲即提前制定计划,而本空设在段首,旨在进一步解释副标题大意。E项Think about upcoming events and make a to-do list.(思考即将发生的事件,并列出待办事项。)符合语境,其中make a to-do list与上文Work out a plan 对应。故选E项。 18. 由下文“This is about the skill of organization. It refers to arranging your personal space at home. So when doing your homework, you are in a tidy place, free from distractions. This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished everything that needs to be done.(这是关于组织的技巧。它指的是在家里安排你的个人空间。所以,当你做作业时,你在一个整洁的地方,没有分心的事情。这包括把你的手机收起来,直到你完成了所有需要做的事情。)”可知,这段主要讲怎样创造对自己有利的条件。而A项Create favourable conditions.(创造有利条件。)符合语境,其中“arranging”,“a tidy place”,“free from distractions”和“putting away”,与A项“Create favourable conditions”相呼应。故选A项。 19. 由上文“You should classify the activities on the basis of their urgency and importance. (你应该根据活动的紧迫性和重要性对其进行分类。)”以及后句“Then you can focus on your objective and stick to it.(然后你可以专注于你的目标并坚持下去。)”可知,设空处所填内容应为将活动进行分类的好处,所以D项This classification will help determine your priority.(此分类将有助于确定您的优先级。)符合语境。其中This classification 与上文classify对应。故选D项。 20 由上文“Once you start taking little steps every day to plan, organize and prioritize the activities you intend to devote your energy, skills and talents to, you can spare more time to stay with family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development. (一旦你开始每天采取一些小步骤来计划、组织和优先安排你打算投入精力、技能和才能的活动,你就可以腾出更多的时间与家人和朋友呆在一起,追求爱好或致力于个人发展。)”可知,这里主要讲一旦提前规划、创造环境并对所做事情进行优化排序,人们将收获时间管理带来的好处。所以G项You will end up reaping (收获) the rewards of time management.(你最终会收获时间管理的回报。)符合语境,对上文有总结作用。故选G项。

Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民区) neighborhood feel human. She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit that provides free food, clothing, hair, and makeup services to the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year.
In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma’s house. This event created a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day...
Six years ago, Shirley visited skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed. Not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty.

They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time.
Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even live-streaming some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating to grow Shirley’s impact. Her followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless.

The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden. “It was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,” says James. “We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We’ve got true community buy-in.”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. “We’ve seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light,” James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.
8.Why was Farm My School founded
A.To raise the income of the local people.
B.To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C.To provide free food for local communities.
D.To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
9.How do schools involve students into the program
A.By developing program-based courses.
B.By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C.By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D.By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
10.What does the underlined word “buy-in” mean in paragraph 3
A.Competition.
B.Investment.
C.Support.
D.Protection.
11.What is the highlight of the program according to Ben
A.It brings in money to support the school.
B.The school farm will be able to last long.
C.The local people will take care of the farm.
D.Students connect more with the outside world.

A year of lockdown has brought about some questionable fashion trends. In US suburbs, bathrobes and slippers are now socially-acceptable clothing for a trip to the grocery store.
Ugly shoes are also having moment. Crocs the maker of plastic clogs(木屐) now with market worth of $5. 3 billion, had a record 2020. The distinctive shoes, with their punch(打孔机) hole design, have long been popular with hospital staff. During the COVID-19 outbreak, they have become a sought-after item for those looking for something easy to wear and clean.
The company sold more than 69 million pairs of shoes in 2020 and pulled in nearly $1. 4 billion, a 13% jump from 2019. The share price, up 650 percent from its pandemic low, has set repeated new highs this year.
Birkenstock is another brand riding high on the shift to a more casual lifestyle. The German group recently sold itself to a LVMH-backed group in a 4 billion deal.
The two brands' popularity shows no sign of fading. Poshmark, the second-hand clothing app, said Crocs and Birkenstock remained top trending brands on its site in March. Sales are up sharply for both compared with the year-ago period. Cooperation with celebrities (Justin Bieber for Crocs, women's brand Proenza Schouler for Birkenstock) should help maintain the trend.
The same cannot be said for dress shoes, which were already falling out of fashion. Office closures and fewer special occasions such as weddings and graduations have accelerated the trend. Sales for the category plummeted last year, according to market researchers The NPD Group. These accounted for only 8% of total fashion footwear dollar sales in 2020, compared with 17% in 2017.
People will soon reach again for going-out clothes, more formal than pyjamas. But the market for dress shoes will never recover entirely. The ugly shoe movement is here to stay.
12.What does the underlined word "plummeted" in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Increased sharply. B.Increased slightly.
C.Decreased sharply. D.Decreased slightly.
13.What's the author's opinion about the prospect of ugly shoes
A.Uncertain B.Pessimistic. C.Cautious. D.Confident.
14.What can be the best title of this passage
A.Crocs give dress shoes a kicking. B.Casual clothes are making a comeback.
C.Punch hole design becomes a trend. D.Dress shoes are falling out of fashion.
15.What’s the purpose of this text
A.To recommend new shoes. B.To present a new tendency.
C.To change people’s lifestyle. D.To question a fashion trend

Teenagers are spending more money than ever. Just last year, 31.6 million teens spent 155 billion, according to the North-brook, Illinois-based market research group Teenage Research Unlimited. 16
Shocked at how much money kids spend Maybe you haven’t checked the price tags lately on some of the younger generation’s must-haves. To some, such luxurious spending on the changeable young might seem unbearable. 17 Timothy Marshall, an associate professor of developmental psychology at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, analyzed the widespread phenomenon after some research.
One factor is surely the sheer power of marketing through mass media. Teenagers are exposed to an estimated 3,000 advertisements each day. Combine the ads with programming itself, like the fashion-, music- and skin-filled shows on MTV, and you’ve got a large number of messages telling kids what they should own if they want to fit in.
Many working parents probably compensate by spending money on their kids. 18 But also, spending money is often more convenient in our fast-paced society than going to baseball games or other activities.
For many families, of course, keeping up with their children’s costly demands for designer clothing, CDs, and concert tickets is a financial impossibility. Marshall says, even for those families who can afford such luxurious spending, striking a compromise between spoiling the kids and denying them is tricky, but possible.
19 Instead of just giving children the toys or clothing they desire, give them an allowance and show them how they can save up for whatever they want. And don’t be afraid to just say no. Most of the parents are working nine-to-five or even working overtime to make ends meet. Therefore, shoulder the responsibility of instructing the kids to tell right from wrong, and developing healthy habits of spending money is of great importance. 20
A.Why do some parents give in
B.How did they persuade parents to pay
C.Teaching kids how to budget and save is key.
D.Kids shouldn’t always take money for granted.
E.Much of that money, of course, comes from parents.
F.We need to step up and tell kids where the boundaries are.
G.There is probably some guilt involved in not spending enough time at home.

Just last year, 31.6 million teens spent 155 billion, according to the North-brook, Illinois-based market research group Teenage Research Unlimited.(青少年比以往任何时候都花更多的钱。据总部位于伊利诺伊州诺斯布鲁克的市场研究机构“青少年无限研究”称,仅去年一年,就有3160万青少年消费了1550亿美元)”可知,上文提到青少年比过去花了更多的钱,并列举了数据。根据下文中提到的青少年花钱的原因与父母有关以及父母该怎么做,需引出钱是父母的。故E选项“当然,这些钱大部分来自父母”符合语境,故选E。 17.根据上文“Shocked at how much money kids spend Maybe you haven’t checked the price tags lately on some of the younger generation’s must-haves. To some, such luxurious spending on the changeable young might seem unbearable.(孩子们花这么多钱震惊了吗?也许你最近没有看过一些年轻一代必备品的价格标签。对一些人来说,在多变的年轻人身上如此奢侈的消费似乎难以忍受)”可知,第二段讲到一些奢侈的花销是不可忍受的,但家长仍然付钱了,结合下文“Timothy Marshall, an associate professor of developmental psychology at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, analyzed the widespread phenomenon after some research.(蒂莫西·马歇尔(Timothy Marshall)是弗吉尼亚州克里斯托弗·纽波特大学(Christopher Newport University)发展心理学副教授,经过一些研究后,他分析了这一普遍现象)”表明教授对于这一现象做出研究,故本句设问提出:为什么父母会允许孩子花这么多钱。故A选项“为什么有些父母会让步?”符合语境,故选A。 18.根据上文“Many working parents probably compensate by spending money on their kids.(许多有工作的父母可能会把钱花在孩子身上作为补偿)”以及后文“But also, spending money is often more convenient in our fast-paced society than going to baseball games or other activities.(而且,在我们这个快节奏的社会里,花钱往往比参加棒球比赛或其他活动更方便)”可知,本段主要讲家长为孩子花钱的一个原因——心理补偿。故G选项“没有足够的时间待在家里可能会有负罪感”符合语境,说明补偿的原因。故选G。 19.根据后文“Instead of just giving children the toys or clothing they desire, give them an allowance and show them how they can save up for whatever they want. And don’t be afraid to just say no. Most of the parents are working nine-to-five or even working overtime to make ends meet. Therefore, shoulder the responsibility of instructing the kids to tell right from wrong, and developing healthy habits of spending money is of great importance.(不要只给孩子想要的玩具或衣服,给他们零花钱,告诉他们如何攒钱买他们想要的东西。不要害怕说不。大多数父母都是朝九晚五的工作,甚至加班来维持生计。因此,肩负起教育孩子辨别是非的责任,培养健康的花钱习惯是非常重要的)”可知,本段主要讲家长应如何解决孩子花钱过多的问题:给零花钱但教会孩子省着花钱。 本空在段首,为全段的总起句,C选项的budget(谨慎花钱)与本段大意呼应。故C选项“教孩子如何谨慎花钱和储蓄是关键。”符合语境,故选C。 20.根据上文“Therefore, shoulder the responsibility of instructing the kids to tell right from wrong, and developing healthy habits of spending money is of great importance.(因此,肩负起教育孩子辨别是非的责任,培养健康的花钱习惯是非常重要的)”可知,本段主要讲家长应如何解决孩子花钱过多的问题,得出结论:家长要承担引导孩子、培养良好习惯。F选项中we指代parents,故F选项“我们需要站出来,告诉孩子们界限在哪里”符合语境,故选F。

My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about the Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash. It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed

The term “oniomania”, which is used to describe people with obsessive (强迫性的), problematic shopping and spending behaviors, consists of the Greek words “onios”, meaning “for sale”, and “mania”. Also known as Compulsive Buying Disorder (CBD) and Impulsive Compulsive Buying Disorder (ICBD), oniomania can leave negative impact on your financial health and mental wellbeing if left untreated.
At this point you might be wondering: “What’s the difference between an oniomaniac and someone who likes to shop perhaps a bit too much ” We tend to believe that the two are rather similar. Clinically (从临床上看), however, they are quite easy to separate.
Although people who like shopping will return an item if they do not like it and start budgeting if they run low on money, people suffering from oniomania are no longer able to make reasonable, let alone financially responsible, decisions. They sometimes emotionally dissociate from what they are doing, making their purchases while they are not really sure what to buy. Spending relieves feelings of anxiety and depression, but only temporarily. In a short time, they might become moody, annoyed, and depressed, and their confidence declines sharply.
To a certain extent, spending makes everyone feel good. In 2007, a group of researchers from MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon looked at the brains of American consumers via MRI technology and found that when they purchased desirable objects, their nucleus accumbens — the brain’s pleasure center — would light up, indicating a positive stimulation. This stimulation can take on different forms. For instance, some people get particularly excited when they believe they have gotten a good deal. This, researchers say, is the result of the prefrontal cortex — the decision-making part of our brain — interacting with the insula, the part of our brain that processes pain. According to psychotherapist Joyce Marter, compulsive buyers in the U. S. make an average of 156 impulsive purchases per year. Each purchase sets them back around $81. 75, making for a grand total of $5, 400 per year and a thorough shocking $324, 000 per lifetime. That money could have been invested in a home, an education, or other products that you actually need in order to survive and thrive in the world. Ultimately, though, treating oniomania is about much more than just protecting your finances from your own impulses — it’s also about maintaining your personal mental health and improving your relationships with others.
8.What do we know about oniomania
A.It is a normal behavior.
B.It influences people’s health.
C.It means people who like shopping.
D.It describes people’s difference.
9.What does the underlined phrase “run low on” probably mean
A.run out of
B.go short of
C.look down on
D.become rich in
10.What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about
A.Why many researchers take part in the study.
B.How everyone makes a wise decision.
C.How desirable objects are well welcome.
D.Why shopping makes common people happy.
11.What is the benefit of treating oniomania
A.It is beneficial to education.
B.It develops our desires.
C.It keeps our mind healthy.
D.It is harmful to relationships.

Volunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. "It should be part of everyone's life,"she says.
Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teensvolunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly, and more.
Some cities— including Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.— require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities( 社区).
Many parents subscribe to the idea they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. But most teens don't want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say volunteering is only fun if it's a choice.
Read both sides of the debate and decide.
Yes
Volunteering can help teens get into college or get a job.
Many cities and towns need help. Volunteers can help keep important programs going.
Not all teens will volunteer if it isn't required. Schools should require students to do all they can to get ready for adult life.
No
Most teens are already very busy with classes, homework, jobs, and sports. Forcing them to do more isn't fair.
It should be up to each person. Helping doesn't feel good if you must do it.

By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.(我丈夫和我一直想去加勒比海地区,但对那些岛屿不太了解,也不知道我们怎么负担得起。一次偶然的机会,我们在澳大利亚的一个朋友提到了“宠物看护”,这是你在世界各地都可以做的事情)”可知,作者夫妻二人担心去加勒比海地区旅行的费用,朋友提出的宠物看护恰好可以解决这个问题。由此可知,他们照顾宠物是为了支付旅行的费用。故选C。 5. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches.(很难忽视塑料污染问题,尤其是在这样原始和偏远的海滩上)”和第四段中“The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.(对塑料污染了解得越多,我们就越意识到全球塑料污染的严重性。从那时起,我们利用我们的平台来提高人们的意识,并强调拒绝塑料和无塑料旅行的方式)”可知,作者在旅行的过程中发现了塑料污染问题,随着深入的了解,越发觉得需要采取行动应对这一问题,并从自身做起,号召更多的人参与这一行动。由此推知,作者通过她的故事想呼吁大家行动起来应对塑料污染。故选D。 6. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.(这段旅程带领我们去了一些令人惊叹的地方,与非常棒的品牌合作,甚至在格林纳达组织了一场全国范围的海滩清理运动)”可知,作者在加勒比海地区的经历不仅令她收获了旅行的快乐,还令她做到了有意义的事情,采取行动应对塑料污染。由此推知,作者会觉得这段经历非常有意义。故选B。 7. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者和丈夫通过申请宠物看护的方式获得了去加勒比海地区旅行的机会,在记录旅行的过程中,他们发现了海滩上难以忽视的塑料污染问题,开始从自身做起,清理海滩上的塑料垃圾,并建立平台开展活动,号召更多的人应对这一问题。再结合最后一段中“It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed (这几年是由一个关于宠物看护的对话引发的。谁能猜到呢 )”可知,这一段旅行经历的收获是作者开始的时候不曾想到的,因此B项(宠物看护旅行的意外收获)可概括文章大意,适合作为标题。故选B。
【答案】8.B 9.B 10.D 11.C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了“oniomania”(购物成瘾)的概念和特点,与普通购物爱好者的区别,以及购物对人们大脑的刺激和对财务和心理健康的影响。文章最后强调了治疗购物成瘾的重要性,不仅是为了保护个人财务,更是为了维护个人心理健康和改善人际关系。 8.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Also known as Compulsive Buying Disorder (CBD) and Impulsive Compulsive Buying Disorder (ICBD), oniomania can leave negative impact on your financial health and mental wellbeing if left untreated.(也被称为强迫性购物障碍(CBD)和冲动性强迫性购物障碍(ICBD),如果不接受治疗,购物成瘾可能会对您的财务健康和心理健康产生负面影响。)”可知,oniomania (强迫购物症)可能会影响人们的健康。故选B。 9.词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Although people who like shopping will return an item if they do not like it(尽管喜欢购物的人会在不喜欢商品时退货,)”以及“start budgeting (开始做预算)”可知,此处构成并列结构,强调非强迫性购物者尽管喜欢购物,但是他们会在不喜欢商品时退货,并在资金短缺时开始预算。故划线词与B选项为同义词,意为“短缺”。故选B。 10.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“In 2007, a group of researchers from MIT, Stanford and Camegie Mellon looked at the brains of American consumers via MRI technology and found that when they purchased desirable objects, their nucleus accumbens — the brain’s pleasure center — would light up, indicating a positive stimulation. (2007年,来自麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学和卡梅吉·梅隆大学的一组研究人员通过核磁共振成像技术对美国消费者的大脑进行了研究,发现当他们购买想要的物品时,他们的伏隔核——大脑的快乐中心——会亮起,表明有积极的刺激。)”可知,本段主要介绍了一个科学发现即在2007年,研究人员发现当美国消费者购买令人向往的物品时,他们的伏隔核——大脑的快乐中心——会被激活,表明有积极的刺激,即解释了为什么普通人在购物的时候会感觉到快乐:是因为购物时,他们的伏隔核——大脑的快乐中心——会被激活。故选D。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, though, treating oniomania is about much more than just protecting your finances from your own impulses — it’s also about maintaining your personal mental health and improving your relationships with others.(然而,治疗购物狂并不仅仅是保护自己的财务免受自己的冲动影响,它还涉及维护个人心理健康和改善与他人的关系。)”可知,治疗购物成瘾使我们的头脑保持健康。故选C。
【答案】12.D 13.B 14.D 15.D 【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文通过米歇尔·奥巴马引出自愿者这个话题,进而介绍了自愿者工作的情况,并且讨论了学生是否应该被要求做自愿者。 12.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Some cities—including Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.—require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate.(一些城市——包括西雅图,芝加哥和华盛顿特区——需要高中生做志愿者。为了毕业学生必须要做志愿工作)”可知,在华盛顿特区,志愿者是高中生必须做的,否则不准毕业。故选D项。 13.词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句中“they say volunteering helps teens build job skills”可知,许多父母认为志愿者活动帮助青少年提高工作技能,由此可知,许多父母应是同意这个想法,画线短语“ subscribe to”意为 “赞成,同意”,与选项中Like(喜欢)意思接近,故选B项。 14.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Students shouldn't be kept from graduating because of something they can't control.(学生不应该因为一些他们无法控制的事情而被阻止毕业)”可知,反对方认为学生们不应该因为不参加志愿者活动而被阻止毕业,故选D项。 15.主旨大意题。通读全文,本文通过米歇尔·奥巴马引出自愿者这个话题,进而介绍了自愿者工作的情况,并结合第五段“Read both sides of the debate and decide.(读一读双方的辩论再决定)”可知,这篇文章主要讨论学生们是否应该被要求做志愿者,故选D项。
【答案】16.F 17.G 18.A 19.E 20.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何传递复杂的信息提出了一系列的建议。 16.根据空前“Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts Are you giving others this same experience (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲,感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中?你会给别人同样的经历吗?)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题,根据空后“But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法,空处承上启下,所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题,F项Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations. (在演讲中,传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选F项。 17.根据空前“Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容,根据空后“Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. (除此之外,问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案,作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处,空处呈上启下,所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子,G项For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace. (例如,允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选G项。 18.空处位于句首,应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙,使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容,所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息,A项Show, don’t tell(展示,不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式,概括了本段的主旨大意,符合上下文语境。故选A项。 19.根据本段小标题“Narrate your content. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息,根据空后“Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡,以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容,使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处,所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释,E项Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具,符合上下文语境。故选E项。 20.根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性,因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息,根据空后“More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners. (更重要的是,真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子——那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处,C项This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar. (这使得复杂的概念不再那么新鲜,而是更加熟悉。)指出使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处,符合上下文语境。故选C项。

Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.
But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day. “I felt like I could conquer anything,” Featherstone, now 51, said in a Story Corps interview last month with Jordan Humphreys, a 13-year-old horseback rider. After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses.
As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community,” said Humphreys. “It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope,” he added.
If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.
4.What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy
A.His love to his parents. B.The duty of saving the world.
C.The serving years in the army. D.His childhood riding experience.
5.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A.The life of being a cowboy.
B.The dream of being a cowboy.
C.The course of opening Urban Saddles.
D.The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.
6.Which can be one of the purposes of Fetherstone’s opening his own stables
A.To teach the black kids to ride horses.
B.To help the kids to learn to respect all life.
C.To make money by teaching the kids to ride.
D.To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.
7.Which of the following words may best describe Fetherstone
A.Smart but careless. B.Slow but productive.
C.Diligent and broad-minded. D.Determined and kind-hearted.

Even if you’re not familiar with Big Hero 6, a comic series and Disney movie, the robot Baymax might look familiar. A six-foot-two-inch tall, round, white, inflatable(可充气的)robot nurse, tasked with healthcare duties, Baymax calmly cares for his patients, supports a middle-school student and even helps a cat. A great pal indeed!
While soft robots already exist, forming one that we would have in our homes, like Baymax, is another story. “There’re all kinds of things that need to come together,” says Alex Alspach, a roboticist at Toyota Research Institute, who also helped develop the movie version of Baymax. Building Baymax’s software—the smart, humanlike mind which gives personalized responses is complex. By comparison, constructing the body will probably be simpler, Alspach suspects. Still, even that will come with challenges.
In the movie, whenever there is a hole, Baymax covers himself with tape or a Band-Aid. He can also inflate’ and deflate himself when he needs to, but it takes a long time. But the movie does not show the complex hardware that would be required to do this. An air compressor(压缩机)would be too heavy to carry. And while roboticists are coming up with chemicals that could inflate soft robots quickly, it’s too early to use these techniques.
For soft robots, staying soft and lightweight would keep their parts from getting damaged, but when making a life-sized robot, that will be difficult, since so many moving parts—such as motors, a battery pack, sensors and’ the air Compressor—will pack on weight.
Heat is another hard nut to crack. This heat will come from the motors and other electronics. Anything covering the frame of a robot will trap heat. For a life-sized robot, more motors and more heat could cause it to overheat and shut down or even catch on fire in some cases.
Will we see Baymax soon “There will be a lot of dumb robots before you get to something as smart as Baymax,” says Alspach. But most experts agree that big steps toward making Baymax will come soon. “I think kids will get to see that in their lifetime,” Alspach says, “I’m hoping I get to see it in my lifetime. I don’t think we’re that far.”
8.Why does the author mention the movie Big Hero 6 in Paragraph 1
A.To indicate that the movie has been a hit.
B.To list the duties that a robot nurse will take.
C.To introduce the topic of building soft robots.
D.To present the research background and method.
9.What makes soft and lightweight robots difficult to build
A.Air compressors and batteries get damaged easily.
B.The requirements for the hardware are demanding.
C.It takes long to produce the tapes or the Band-Aids.
D.Inflating robots with chemicals will harm their motors.
10.What can be inferred from the text
A.It is quite simple to build he robots’ hardware.
B.Nothing delights kids more than having a robot in their homes.
C.There is a long way to go before actual soft robots are created.
D.Current technology is sufficient for building healthcare robots.
11.What is Alspach’s attitude towards the coming of soft robots
A.Optimistic. B.Indifferent. C.Skeptical. D.Critical.

The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.
My kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that's right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon to you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if it gets up early it is sure to get the worm.
I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most out of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength, When you empower (武装) yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self-esteem (自尊).
You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.
You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it's Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.
12.What docs the underlined word "boon" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Something that is very terrible. B.Something that is very helpful
C.Something that is very kind D.Something that is very scared
13.What can we infer from the example of the playing field used by the author
A.The author wants to introduce his topic
B.The author wants to support his opinion
C.He wants tell us that having an advantage is needed

When you’re put on the spot, it can feel like a sink-or-swim situation, which can be tense, stressful and pressurizing, especially when you deliver a public speaking. 16
Adjust your use of language
When we feel ourselves to be on a stage, we sometimes use words that are cold, formal, and passive. We do this because we’re anxious and seek to establish authority. Let’s say you’re a doctor, and you’ re standing in front of a group of your peers. You might find yourself making statements like, “It is significant that doctors help solve this problem.” 17 When you say, “We must solve this problem,” you are speaking more simply and persuasively. The word “we” is more easygoing. When you use language like this, you get closer to actually solving the problem simply by directly pointing out that it is all of yours to solve.
Pose more questions
Questions are two-way interactions. 18 No longer are you alone “onstage” in front of your audience — you’re engaging in a dialogue. Even when you’ re making a statement, you can think of it as an answer to an unasked question. That in itself can give the encounter a conversational feel and lower the pressure you might experience. The technique makes the presentations more connected and conversational, allowing you to feel more relaxed. Just ask questions the audience might have and answering them.
Beware of the memorisation trap
19 But memorisation also can come back to haunt us. Giving our communication the feel of a formal, over-rehearsed presentation, it can make us nervous as we struggle to remember a great deal that we’d thought of in advance of the actual conversation. Instead of rushing to memorise, try writing out what you’d like to say and then turning that into a short, bullet-pointed outline. Doing so allows you to think through the material in detail while giving you a brief structure that’s easier to keep in mind. 20
A.You will become more connected with your peers.
B.Writing down what we might want to say can help.
C.You and others around you enter into a back-and-forth.
D.Here are three ways that you can improve your delivery.
E.Conversations are more casual and familiar than performances.
F.Language like this creates distance between yourself and others.
G.Using that structure, you can more confidently fill in the gaps as you go.

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了珀斯值得一游的四个方面。 1.细节理解题。根据Visiting the epic beaches中的“Definitely one of the best advantages of living in Perth is its beaches. Backed up to the Indian Ocean, Perth is home to crystal clear water and glistening white sand. (住在珀斯最大的优势之一就是它的海滩。背靠印度洋,珀斯拥有清澈的海水和闪闪发光的白沙。)”可知,珀斯海滩的亮点是美丽的海景。故选 C。 2.细节理解题。 根据Enjoying the views from Kings Park中的“Kings Park is not only one of the top tourist attractions in Perth - it’s incredibly popular with locals too! Having a mix of European and Aboriginal heritage throughout the gardens, it’s well known in the fields of horticulture (园艺) for its conservation efforts and scientific research. (国王公园不仅是珀斯的顶级旅游景点之一,而且在当地人中也非常受欢迎!在整个花园中混合了欧洲和土著文化遗产,它在园艺学领域以其保护工作和科学研究而闻名。)”可知,国王公园以其对多种植物的保护而闻名。故选B。 3.细节理解题。根据Checking out the Fremantle Markets中的“But best of all, there’s no entrance fee, which makes it a perfect day out for family fun! (但最重要的是,没有入场费,这使它成为家庭娱乐的完美一天!)”可知,弗里曼特尔市场最吸引家庭旅行的是它不收取入场费。故选D。
【答案】4.D 5.C 6.B 7.D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了费瑟斯通(Ghuan Featherstone)开马厩的过程,并且通过骑马想要传达给孩子们的一课,那就是尊重所有的生命。 4.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.(费瑟斯通(Ghuan Featherstone)上世纪70年代在洛杉矶中南部社区长大,他只记得8岁时和父母一起在附近的公园骑马)”以及文章第二段“But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day.(但从那以后,他一直在追寻那天骑马时感受到的自由和力量)”以及“After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.(在军队服役8年后,费瑟斯通决心实现他儿时的梦想——成为一名牛仔)”可知,童年的骑马经历让费瑟斯通想成为一名牛仔。故选D。 5.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses. (回到洛杉矶后,他在康普顿被称为“山”的马厩里学会了骑马。那里的骑手会跳上马背,骑着马进入城市的街道。2012年,一场大火烧毁了“山”。曾经是年轻人庇护所的地方突然消失了。费瑟斯通感觉到了火灾后的空虚,在2019年开设了自己的马厩“城市马鞍”,创造了一个空间,在这里他可以教像汉弗莱斯这样的孩子照顾和骑马)”可知,第三段主要讲述了Urban Saddles开设的过程。故选C。 6.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.(如果费瑟斯通想要传达给孩子们的一课,那就是尊重所有的生命。“我们尊重动物,也尊重彼此,”他说)”可推知,费瑟斯通开马厩的真正目的是帮助孩子们学会尊重所有生命。故选B。 7.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.(在军队服役8年后,费瑟斯通决心实现他儿时的梦想——成为一名牛仔)”可推知,他是一个有决心的人;根据文章最后一段If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.(如果费瑟斯通想要传达给孩子们的一课,那就是尊重所有的生命。“我们尊重动物,也尊重彼此,”他说)”可推知,他是一个心胸宽广的人。故选D。
【答案】8.C 9.B 10.C 11.A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了软体机器人的开发所遇到的困难以及发展的前景。 8.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Even if you’re not familiar with Big Hero 6, a comic series and Disney movie, the robot Baymax might look-familiar. A six-foot-two-inch tall, round, white, inflatable(可充气的)robot nurse, tasked with healthcare duties, Baymax calmly cares for his patients, supports a middle-school student and even helps a cat. A great pal indeed!(即使你不熟悉漫画系列和迪士尼电影《超能陆战队》,机器人大白也可能看起来很熟悉。大白是一个身高6英尺2英寸、圆滚滚、白色的充气机器人护士,肩负着医疗保健的职责,他平静地照顾病人,支持一名中学生,甚至帮助一只猫。真是个好朋友!)”以及第二段“While soft robots already exist, forming one that we would have in our homes, like Baymax, is another story.(虽然软体机器人已经存在,但打造一个像大白那样的家用机器人,则是另一回事。)”可知,第一段提到机器人大白的目的是为了引出本段的主题内容,即:打造软体机器人。故选C。 9.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He can also inflate’ and deflate himself when he needs to, but it takes a long time. But the movie does not show the complex hardware that would be required to do this. An air compressor(压缩机)would be too heavy to carry. And while roboticists are coming up with chemicals that could inflate soft robots quickly, it’s too early to use these techniques.(他也可以在需要的时候给自己充气和放气,但这需要很长时间。但这部电影并没有展示完成这一任务所需的复杂硬件。空气压缩机太重,无法携带。虽然机器人专家正在研究可以让软机器人快速膨胀的化学物质,但现在使用这些技术还为时过早。)”、第四段“For soft robots, staying soft and lightweight would keep their parts from getting damaged, but when making a life-sized robot, that will be difficult, since so many moving parts—such as motors, a battery pack, sensors and’ the air Compressor—will pack on weight.(对于软体机器人来说,保持柔软和轻量化可以防止它们的部件被损坏,但是当制造一个真人大小的机器人时,这将是困难的,因为如此多的运动部件——比如马达、电池组、传感器和空气压缩机——会增加重量。)”以及第五段“Heat is another hard nut to crack.(热是另一个棘手的问题。)”可知,软体轻便机器人难以制造的原因是其对硬件的要求较高。故选B。 10.推理判断题。根据文章第二段““There’re all kinds of things that need to come together,” says Alex Alspach, a roboticist at Toyota Research Institute, who also helped develop the movie version of Baymax. Building Baymax’s software—the smart, humanlike mind which gives personalized responses is complex. By comparison, constructing the body will probably be simpler, Alspach suspects. Still, even that will come with challenges.(他说:“有各种各样的东西需要整合在一起。”打造大白的软件——一种能给出个性化回应的智能、类似人类的大脑——是一件复杂的事情。相比之下,构造身体可能会更简单,Alspach怀疑。不过,即便如此,也将面临挑战。)”以及下文内容可知,在真正的软体机器人被创造出来之前还有很多问题待解决。故选C。 11.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I think kids will get to see that in their lifetime,” Alspach says, “I’m hoping I get to see it in my lifetime. I don’t think we’re that far.”(Alspach说:“我认为孩子们会在他们的有生之年看到它,我希望我能在有生之年看到它。我不认为我们还要走那么远。”)”可知,Alspach对于软体机器人的制作抱有积极的态度,他认为孩子们在有生之年会看到真正的软体机器人。故选A。
【答案】12.B 13.A 14.D 15.A 【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者认为不公平是普遍存在的现象,但不公平是有益处的。在竞争中,你的技能和态度对结果起着重要作用。知道你可以做什么来获得优势可以决定成功和失败。 12.词句猜测题。根据第二段“For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if it gets up early it is sure to get the worm.”(例如,早起的鸟有虫吃。睡懒觉的鸟错过了早餐是不公平的,但很高兴知道,如果它起得早,肯定会吃到虫子。)由此可知,公平的事情通常会给你带来益处。由此可知,划线词的意思是“有益处的东西”。故选B项。 13.推理判断题。根据第一段“The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure”(竞技场从来就不是平等的。你的技能和态度对结果起着重要作用。知道你可以做什么来获得优势可以决定成功和失败。)根据第二段“Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair.”( 不公平是件好事。当事情看起来不公平的时候,努力会得到更多。的确,世界上很多事情都是不公平的。)由此判断出,竞技场的例子是为了介绍主题。故选A项。 14.细节理解题。根据第三段“I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most out of it and get on the other side of it.” (我总是向我的孩子们解释,抱怨不公平的事情会让他们一事无成。相反,充分利用它。)由此可知,根据作者的观点,处理不公平的最好方法是充分利用它。故选D项。 15.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.”( 你应该看看你在世界上的位置。你想在经济上、精神上、情感上和身体上处于什么位置 当你赋予自己力量时,你正在创造自己的故事。)由此判断出,你被告知要看看你在这个世界上的位置,以便使自己更好。故选A项。
【答案】16.D 17.F 18.C 19.B 20.G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了发表公开演讲时,克服紧张和压力的方法。 16.根据上句“When you’re put on the spot, it can feel like a sink-or-swim situation, which can be tense, stressful and pressurizing, especially when you deliver a public speaking. (当你被在现场时,感觉就像一个进退两难的局面,这可能会很紧张,压力很大,尤其是当你发表公开演讲的时候)”可知,设空处应为克服这种问题的方法,D项:Here are three ways that you can improve your delivery. (这里有三种方法可以改善你的演讲) 承上启下,并和下文的建议相呼应。故选D。 17.根据上句“You might find yourself making statements like, “It is significant that doctors help solve this problem.(你可能会发现自己在说:医生帮助解决这个问题很重要。)”以及后句“When you say, “We must solve this problem,” you are speaking more simply and persuasively.(当你说“我们必须解决这个问题”时,你说得更简单、更有说服力。)”设空处承上启下,承接上句那样说话所产生的后果以及后句如何进行调整。F项:Language like this creates distance between yourself and others. (这样的语言会让你和别人之间产生距离。)合乎题意。故选F。 18.根据上句“Questions are two-way interactions.(问题是双向的互动。)”可知,设空处会解释双向的互动的作用。C项:You and others around you enter into a back-and-forth. (你和你周围的人进入一个来回的交流)合乎题意。故选C。 19.根据后句“But memorisation also can come back to haunt us. (但死记硬背也会反过来困扰我们。)”由but表转折可知,设空处应为死记硬背的好处 B项:Writing down what we might want to say can help.(写下我们可能想说的话会有所帮助)说明其好处,合乎题意。故选B。 20.根据上句“Instead of rushing to memorise, try writing out what you’d like to say and then turning that into a short, bullet-pointed outlin, Doing so allows you to think through the material in detail while giving you a brief structure that’s easier to keep in mind (不要急于记忆,试着把你想说的话写出来,然后把它变成一个简短的、有重点的提纲,这样做可以让你详细地思考材料,同时给你一个更容易记住的简短结构)”设空处承接上句,说明这样做的结果 G项:Using that structure, you can more confidently fill in the gaps as you go. (使用这种结构,你可以更自信地填补空白)合乎题意。故选G。

Four Peak District waterfall walks
The Peak District National Park offers beautiful scenery for hiking. One exciting attraction is the region’s waterfalls. We’ve picked out four of the most breathtaking waterfall walks; visit just one or tick off all of them as you discover the Peak District.
Kinder Downfall
If there’s one Peak District waterfall that you must visit, it’s this one. Kinder Downfall is one of the best Great British waterfalls, where you can watch a 30-metrestream of water flowing from an open plateau at Kinder Scout. It’s best to schedule your visit after heavy rain when the waterfall is really in full force.
Lumsdale Falls
If you feel like stepping back in time, take a trip to Lumsdale Falls. The area includes many 17th-century mill (磨坊) buildings which used to be powered by the nearby rivers, and the ancient ruins create a timeless atmosphere in the beautiful Lumsdale Valley.
Padley Gorge
The journey to this waterfall has a charming, fairy-tale feel, making it perfect for a fun day out as a family. The walk is around an hour each way, but there are plenty of picnic spots where you can all refuel, as well as areas for little feet to safely paddle in the chilly water.
Rivelin Valley

Rural Patagonia is famous for its wonderful nature. A Google search for “bicycle tour Patagonia” led my friend Rachel and me to the Carretera Austral: a 770-mile stretch of mostly unpaved highway. We packed our bikes into hoxes and flew to Puerto Montt, a port city some 650 miles south of Santiago. From there, we continued south for several days and set foot on the Carretera.
It took about two weeks to cycle the route through wild forests, windswept plains, and snow-capped mountains. On our last full day along the Carretera-and three days into a constant rainstorm-we found ourselves at a loss for where to sleep. We were cold and wet.
We were still 30 miles from Villa O’Higgins, which marked the end of the Carretera and the promise of a hot shower. From there, we’d ride about 600 miles further along somewhat better roads to Ushuaia.
There was no way we were going to make O’Higgins by nightfall. We hadn’t passed a nice campsite in hours. We’d just stopped beside a small stream when we spotted a cowboy-looking man walking out of the trees. And we saw that the stream led to a small house. The man came to the road. “Do you know a dry place to camp ” Rachel asked.
The man invited us into his home. We shared hot chocolate and conversation in his warm, rough kitchen. He brought out an old copy of Patagon Journal, and we were amazed to see a photo of our host, Erasmo Betancourt, on the cover. It turns out that our new friend was a well-known cowboy-turned-activist who had been an outspoken opponent of the damming(筑坝)of Patagonia's rivers. In recent decades, local farmers, fishermen, and conservationists have fiercely resisted the construction of hydroelectric(使用水力发电的)dams on the region's mighty rivers. Our adventure wouldn’t have been possible if not for their fierce love of this beautiful land and devotion to its protection.
The next morning, we thanked our host and hit the road. Is there anywhere on Earth so remote that one cannot encounter humanity
4.Where were the author and Rachel headed the next day
A.Ushuaia. B.Santiago.
C.Puerto Montt. D.Villa O’Higgins.
5.What was the major problem facing the author and Rachel that night
A.Where to find a dry campsite.
B.How to satisfy their hunger.
C.How to find their way in the forest.
D.Where to get some drinking water.
6.What was Betancourt’s attitude to building hydroelectric dams on Patagonia’s rivers
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Tolerant. D.Uncertain.
7.What is the best title for the text
A.Dams on mighty rivers ruined our adventure.
B.A bicycle tour of Patagonia revealed nature to us.
C.A cowboy-turned-activist saved Patagonia’s rivers.
D.We encountered kindness in one of the wildest places on Earth.

Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, this year’s winners of the most famous award in architecture, are as surprised as anyone else. “Of course, we are very pleased,” Lacaton said. She and her partner smiled broadly.
Putting aside their wearing eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of “architects”. Lacaton and Vassal apply a belief—never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse - to their work on old urban buildings. Designs by Lacaton and Vassal have focused on perfecting low-income housing complexes, beautifully and functionally, while respecting — rather than displacing- the people who live there.
“Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them,“ Lacaton explained. “When the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected.” Vassal added, “There’s a lot of violence in architecture. We try to be accurate. We try to work with kindness.” perfecting low-income housing complexes, beautifully and functionally, while respecting — rather than displacing- the people who live there.
When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and ugly public housing building in Bordeaux in 2017, the residents told them they did not want to move, even temporarily, but that they wanted bigger units. The solution was to surround the building with large outdoor terraces (露天平台), adding sliding glass doors to each unit, and remaking the exterior from concrete to something gleaming(闪光的), modern and alive. Suddenly, everyone had roomy outdoor space, some of which was enclosed to be used during the winter as “winter gardens”.
“Their approach of cost-effective, creative readaption could be a model for urban planning in the U.S., where destruction’s been seen as a method of solving the worsening public housing in such cities as Chicago and St.Louis,” architecture professor Mabel 0. Wilson says. “And granted, there’s a host of other issues as to why that happened. It’s not the building. It’s the absence of social services and lack of repair to buildings that made living in public housing impossible for residents.
8.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about Lacaton and Vassal
A.Their housing standard. B.Their working principle.
C.Their living conditions. D.Their wearing style.
9.What do Lacaton and Vassal seek to do in their architecture work
A.Rebuild old houses precisely.
B.Displace the settlers with great kindness.
C.Improve rather than knock down old buildings.
D.Extend space for people as much as possible.
10.Why does the author mention the public housing building in Bordeaux
A.To stress the importance of winter gardens.
B.To show the violence in tearing down buildings.
C.To reflect the cost of readapting houses.
D.To prove the possibility of improving old houses.
11.Why do people tend to knock down the worsening public housing, according to Wilson
A.It saves the cost effectively.
B.It makes room for new creative buildings.
C.They lack awareness of social services.
D.There is no need to repair these buildings.

Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they form is the most shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.
Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long run.
12. What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for
A. Travel. B. Defence. C. Soldier training. D. Seawater control.
13. Which word can best describe the ancient buildings
A. Long-lasting. B. Energy-efficient. C. Delicate. D. Flexible.
14. What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials
A. Their large cracks. B. Their clear concrete.
C. Their internal structures. D. Their self-repairing ability.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete
A. Tolerant. B. Expectant. C. Suspicious. D. Indifferent.

There’s no need to be ashamed about dozing off in class. It is actually a natural phenomenon. Studies have shown that people can only stay completely focused on something for a maximum of 10 minutes. 16 Dozing off during an important activity or event on a regular basis can develop into a habit that you might carry into other areas of your life.
Scientists have found that avoiding overeating before class is one of the most effective ways to beat class sleepiness. Most people have experienced “food coma (昏迷)” after eating a large meal. Eating too much results in a feeling of heaviness that uses up your energy. This happens because the body releases chemicals that signal drowsiness after eating. 17
Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) release more serotonin (血清素) from the brain, which makes you feel good. 18 Basically, not all foods have the same impact on your body. While some foods can increase your energy, others can make you sleepy. Also, tasking your body with digesting a large meal is exhausting. Eating large portions — especially of unhealthy foods — will leave your body with little energy to use elsewhere.
19 This gives your body the opportunity to digest smaller amounts of food at a time, leaving you feeling energized instead of tired after your meals.
Also, avoid heavy foods and choose healthy, balanced meals instead. 20 An example of a well-rounded breakfast to have before class would be a glass of milk, an egg and a salad containing at least three vegetables.
A.Finally, it helps deliver oxygen to your vital organs.
B.However, too much serotonin can lead to drowsiness.
C.Unfortunately, most classes last longer than 10 minutes.
D.Falling asleep in class can cause poor academic performance.
E.A healthy meal should include fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.
F.This is particularly true if you eat a meal that is high in carbohydrates.
G.It is recommended that you keep a stable level of energy by eating smaller meals.

Once a circle missed a wedge (楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish(滋润) his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so. There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive — he or she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved wholeness that others can only long for.
4.Which may be an example of being whole
A.A person has everything.
B.A person accepts his or her limitations.
C.A person loves someone and is loved.
D.A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.
5.How is a baseball season similar to life
A.Easy come, easy go.
B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Energy and persistence conquer all things.
D.Some battles you win and some battles you lose.
6.How does the author clarify his idea
A.Mainly by comparing.
B.Mainly by reasoning.
C.Mainly by informing.
D.Mainly by arguing.
7.What can be the best title for the passage
A.Pursue perfection in life
B.Be whole in life
C.Life without mistakes is whole
D.No pains, no gains

After the season for giving, it is the one for throwing away. Each year in late December and early January a massive amount of plastic packaging is discarded worldwide. In Britain alone households generate 30% more waste, an extra 3m tonnes, in the month over Christmas. Most is destined for landfill. Sweden will do less damage than many, though. The country now recycles at a record level. Almost three-quarters (74%) of plastic packaging waste was recycled there in 2021, the highest proportion in Europe.
Much of Sweden’s success is due to a deposit refund scheme. Customers pay ?0.10 extra when buying drinks containers. After use, these can be fed into reverse vending machines installed in shops, which spit the deposit back out. The machines’ contents are sent directly to recycling centres. By the end of 2021, 92% of all bottles and cans sold in Sweden were being returned. The overall plastic packaging recycling rate increased by almost 20%.
The Swedish government says the scheme has aroused a potential enthusiasm for recycling in its citizens. Nearly 90% of Swedes have used the machines at least once. However, Swedes do not generally describe themselves as eco-fighters. A 2021 survey by the European Commission found they were less likely than most other Europeans to regard environmental issues as “very important”.
The eagerness of Swedish recyclers may stem not from a love of the Earth but from a low net worth. A tenth of the population get by on less than ?245 a month. In big cities it is common to see people scooping recyclable items out of bins to take to the machines.
Less litter and money for people who need it seems like a win-win. But it might not in fact be best for the environment in the long run. In Germany—where a similar, widely used refund deposit scheme has been in place since 2003—the earnings from keeping the deposits from unreturned bottles seem to have discouraged producers from switching to more sustainable packaging.
8.What might most Swedish customers do under the deposit refund scheme
A.They send their drinks containers directly to recycling centres.
B.They spend more on drinks than other European customers.
C.They return their used drinks containers.
D.They use vending machines to buy drinks.
9.What did the 2021 survey find out
A.Sweden beat many countries in plastic recycling.
B.Swedes had low environmental awareness.
C.Swedes made much money from recycling.
D.Sweden had an unequal income distribution.
10.What is the author’s attitude to the deposit refund scheme
A.Positive. B.Uninterested. C.Ambiguous. D.Unfavourable.
11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Why Swedes cash in on their trash.
B.How waste turns into treasure in Sweden.
C.Who are recycling plastic bottles in Sweden.
D.Where Swedes throw away their plastic packaging.

The two terms nature and nurture have been subjects of comparison since the 16th century. The argument is centered on the question as to whether it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are.
Nature provides the starting point for an organism that will interact with nurture, the environment, during the organism’s life. Nature does not just affect an organism during its lifetime, but it also can directly affect the expression of genes in offspring (后代). For the Geneticists, they believe that our lives are entirely determined by genetics, which is nature. An opposing view is that there is no indication that genes (基因) determines one’s personality, rather there is growing evidence that nurture serves as the determining factor in personality development.
Nurture refers to the conditions under which living things grow and develop after birth. When applied to human beings, it means how the person is raised, which includes nutrition, education, care, as well as the kind of surroundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.
The argument of nature and nurture as to which is more important is necessitated by an attempt to differentiate how much effect genetics has on a person’s development against how easily humans are influenced by one’s environment.
While nurture undeniably plays its part on the growth and development of one’s personality, nature dramatically outweighs nurture, for nature can be likened to a foundation. The impact of nurture on the development of persons cannot be totally denied. However, nature is regarded as being of most importance because of the fact that it affords an opportunity and creates a foundation and the basis for the question of nurture to arise at the very first instance. Even without nurture, the nature impact can still stand independently without necessarily causing destruction. More so, even when the nurture impact is successfully effected, it does not remove the genetic characteristics of a person. It therefore stands correctly that nature is that which determines the substance of a person.
12.What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A.Nature’s role is supported by additional evidence.
B.Personality development is determined by nurture.
C.Nature impacts gene expression in later generation.
D.Environment shapes personality more than genetics.
13.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.What nurture means to human beings.
B.How living things develop after birth.
C.How nurture shapes human development.
D.How surroundings influence human beings.
14.How does the author stress the greater importance of nature
A.By giving examples.
B.By making contrast.
C.By conducting experiments.
D.By citing research data.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.A Long Story of Nature and Nurture
B.A New Research on Nature and Nurture
C.Who Can Tell What Makes Who We Are
D.Which Is More Important, Nature or Nurture

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了墨西哥一座城市的几个旅游项目。 1.细节理解题。根据第一部分倒数第二句“Watch the lively performance of ancient ceremonies and be lost in historical stories about Jalisco.”可知,在这段乘船旅程中,人们可以欣赏到有关Jalisco的历史故事,也就是能了解到其历史。故选C项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二部分最后一句“Wheelchair accessibility is available.”可知,这一旅程中是可以使用轮椅的,而其他项目中都明确说明了不能使用轮椅(第一部分指出要上下楼梯也不行)。故选B项。 3.推理判断题。根据第三部分“The use of kayaks(独木舟)and stand-up paddleboards is all available, as well as a scenic nature walk and admission to Kids Adventure Park for the young ones.”可知,该项目也给孩子提供相应的游玩地点,比较适合父母带孩子一起参加。故选A项。
【答案】4.B 5.D 6.A 7.B 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以一个小故事引出话题——人生不在于完美, 而在于完整。 4.细节理解题。根据第三段There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so.(人生的完整性在于一个人知道如何面对他的缺陷,如何勇敢地摒弃那些不现实的幻想而又不以此为缺憾)可知一个人接受他或她的缺陷,可能是“完整”的例子。故选B。 5.推理判断题。根据最后一段Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. (人生更像是一个棒球赛季,即使最好的球队也会输掉三分之一的比赛,而最差的球队也有春风得意的时候。我们的目标是赢的比赛比输的多)可知棒球赛季和生活的相似之处在于你有输有赢。故选D。 6.推理判断题。第二段内容(人生“完美”的人)和第三段内容(人生完整的人)作对比; 最后一段又拿baseball season和life作比较, 因此作者主要是通过作对比和作比较的方法来澄清他的观点的。故选A。 7.主旨大意题。本文作者通过圆和楔子的小故事感悟出这样的道理:从某种奇怪的意义上讲,当我们失去某些东西的时候,我们反而会更加完整,人生不在于完美而在于完整。因此不管是从故事内容还是从其诠释的人生哲理上,B项“完整的生命”作标题是最佳的。故选B。
【答案】8.C 9.B 10.D 11.A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是瑞典通过押金退还政策,成为欧洲塑料包装回收再利用比例最高的国家,但是这一政策可能阻碍了生产商转向可持续的包装。 8.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Customers pay ?0.10 extra when buying drinks containers. After use, these can be fed into reverse vending machines installed in shops, which spit the deposit back out.(客户在购买饮料容器时额外支付 0.10 欧元。使用后,这些可以送入安装在商店中的反向自动售货机,这些自动售货机将押金吐出。)”可知,顾客在消费完产品后,将包装退还,售货机就会退回之前交的押金,所以瑞典人在押金退还计划下会将包装退回。故选C项。 9.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A 2021 survey by the European Commission found they were less likely than most other Europeans to regard environmental issues as “very important”.(欧盟委员会 2021 年的一项调查发现,与大多数其他欧洲人相比,他们不太可能将环境问题视为“非常重要”。)”可知,瑞典人相比其他欧洲人认为环境问题很重要的可能性不大,由此可知,研究发现瑞典人有较低的环保意识。故选B项。 10.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Less litter and money for people who need it seems like a win-win. But it might not in fact be best for the environment in the long run.(为需要它的人减少垃圾和金钱似乎是双赢的。但从长远来看,这实际上可能不是对环境最好的。)”可知,作者认为,从长远看来,这种押金退还政策对环保不是最好的,由此可知,作者对此政策的态度不是很支持。故选D项。 11.主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The Swedish government says the scheme has aroused a potential enthusiasm for recycling in its citizens.(瑞典政府表示,该计划激起了公民对回收的潜在热情。)”可知,该计划激起了公民捡拾废品热情,但是第四段中的“The eagerness of Swedish recyclers may stem not from a love of the Earth but from a low net worth.(瑞典回收商的热情可能不是源于对地球的热爱,而是源于其较低的净资产。)”表明,瑞典的回收商不是看中对环境保护的作用,而是源于其低净资产,所以很多人都热衷于捡瓶子换钱,综上信息可知,瑞典人之所以捡拾垃圾,而且回收利用率在整个欧洲中最高,不是看在对环境保护的重要作用上,而是通过捡拾垃圾可以增加收入,所以全文的题目应该为:为什么瑞典人在垃圾中获利。故选A项。
【答案】12.C 13.A 14.B 15.D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。先天和后天这两个术语自16世纪以来一直是比较的主题。文章论述了究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们。 12.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Nature provides the starting point for an organism that will interact with nurture, the environment, during the organism’s life. Nature does not just affect an organism during its lifetime, but it also can directly affect the expression of genes in offspring (后代). (在有机体的一生中,先天为有机体提供了与滋养、环境相互作用的起点。先天不仅会影响一个生物体的一生,还会直接影响其后代的基因表达)”可知,先天影响后代的基因表达。故选C。 13.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Nurture refers to the conditions under which living things grow and develop after birth. When applied to human beings, it means how the person is raised, which includes nutrition, education, care, as well as the kind of surroundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.(后天指的是生物出生后生长发育的条件。当应用于人类时,它指的是一个人是如何成长的,包括营养、教育、照顾,以及环境的类型,如文化影响、家庭和朋友)”可知,第三段主要讨论了后天对人类意味着什么。故选A。 14.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While nurture undeniably plays its part on the growth and development of one’s personality, nature dramatically outweighs nurture, for nature can be likened to a foundation. The impact of nurture on the development of persons cannot be totally denied. However, nature is regarded as being of most importance because of the fact that it affords an opportunity and creates a foundation and the basis for the question of nurture to arise at the very first instance.(不可否认,后天培养在一个人的个性成长和发展中起着一定的作用,但先天的作用远远超过后天培养,因为先天可以被比作基础。后天对人的发展的影响是不能完全否认的。然而,先天被认为是最重要的,因为它提供了一个机会,创造了一个基础,为后天问题的出现提供了基础)”可推知,作者通过对比强调了先天的重要性。故选B。 15.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The two terms nature and nurture have been subjects of comparison since the 16th century. The argument is centered on the question as to whether it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are.(先天和后天这两个术语自16世纪以来一直是比较的主题。争论的核心问题是,究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们)”及下文论述可知,文章主要论述了究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们。由此可知,Which Is More Important, Nature or Nurture (先天和后天,哪个更重要?)适合作文章最佳标题。故选D。
【答案】16.C 17.G 18.E 19.F 20.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍游泳对于人的身体健康来说是有益的,但游泳时也应该遵循一些规则。 16.根据上文“Swimming improves your cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness and flexibility(游泳可以改善你的心血管健康和灵活度)”可知,此处阐述的是游泳的好处。C项“此外,水有助于增强肌肉”符合语境,其中Besides表明上下文的递进关系。故选C项。 17.上文“If you do not know how to swim, adult lessons are often available at gyms.(如果你不知道如何游泳,健身房通常提供成人课程)”讲不会游泳可以去健身房报名学习,G项“Even if you learned to swim as a child, you may want to consider signing up for a class(即使你从小就学会了游泳,你也可以考虑报名参加游泳班)”讲即使会游泳,也可以报名参加游泳班,与上文构成递进关系,且下文“You can learn how to more effectively work out in the pool with just a few lessons.(你只需几节课即可学习如何更有效地在游泳池中锻炼)”中“more effectively work out”与G项中“if you learned to swim as a child”相照应,,说明会游泳还要参加游泳班的原因,上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 18.E项“If using a pool at a gym, you need follow certain pool rules(如果在健身房使用游泳池,你需要遵守一些游泳池规则)”讲在健身房使用游泳池要遵守规则,下文“It is important that you stick to the posted guidelines, which are meant to keep the swimming pools running properly.(重要的是要遵守发布的指南,这些指南旨在保持游泳池正常运行)”承接上文,说明遵守规则的意义,E项中“rules”与下文“guidelines”相照应,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 19.上文“But the majority request that you shower before you enter the pool.(但大多数人要求你在进入游泳池之前淋浴)”讲虽然不同的游泳池有不同的规则,但大多数要求进入游泳池前淋浴,F项“This rule helps keep the pool water clean by removing body oils and sweat(这条规则可以去除身体的油脂和汗水,帮助保持泳池水的清洁)”承接上文,说明进入游泳池前淋浴的原因,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 20.根据上文“At times, you may share a lane with one or more other swimmers.(有时,你可能会与一个或多个其他游泳者共享泳道)”以及下文“You need to stay in the appropriate lane.(你需要留在合适的泳道上)”可知,上下文间缺少过渡句,D项“When this happens, think of it as driving on the highway(当这种情况发生时,把它想象成在高速公路上开车)”承上启下,说明了要留在合适的泳道上的原因,且句中“this”指代的是上文“共享泳道”这一情况。故选D项。

Live with roommates Have friends and family around you Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
4. What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph
A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing.
C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision.
5. What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars
A. He disapproved of it. B. He was favorable to it.
C. He was tolerant of it. D. He didn’t care about it.
6. What can we infer about the author
A. She is quite good at cooking. B. She respects others’ privacy.
C. She enjoys being a housewife. D. She is a determined person.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. How to get on well with other family members.
B. How to have one’s own personal space at home.
C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D. How to control the budget when buying groceries.

“It is necessary for us to go to places that still look like the ocean as it was 500 years ago,” says Enric Sala, former professor at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. However, in most parts of the world, marine conservation is stymied by opposition from fishing, oil, and mining interests. A mere 7 percent of the world’s ocean has protection—mostly weak rules, and only 2.5 percent is highly protected. Outside of these zones, the ocean’s story is a continuing failure.
A few remaining parts of the ocean are the last wild places of the sea—the marine equivalent of the remotest old-growth forest in the Amazon—still unaffected by overfishing, pollution and climate change. Enric is working with the National Geographic Society and together launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. Over the past 14 years, Pristine Seas has helped create 28 marine reserves, making up two-thirds of the world’s fully protected marine areas—covering more than two million square miles in all.
Now Sala and his team have set an even more ambitious goal: to see more than a third of the world’s ocean conserved for the purpose not just of sustaining biodiversity but also of replenishing(补充)fish stocks and storing carbon.
Pristine Seas worked with native Palauans(帕劳人)to give an ancient conservation tradition a modern change. For centuries, Palauans have used what they all “buls”, a Palauan word which means closure, to preserve and rebuild their reef fish stocks. Over the years they have created 35 reserves to protect marine life around their islands, some of which ban fishing permanently.
Sala and his team calculate that a 14-fold expansion of the fully protected part of the ocean, from 2.5 percent to 35 percent, would provide 64 percent of the biodiversity benefits while increasing the global fish catch by almost 10 million metric tons. Even that may sound impossible, but the alternative is awful. For now, we still get to choose.
8.What does the underlined word “stymied” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Frustrated. B.Supported.
C.Accelerated. D.Overestimated.
9.What situation does global ocean protection face
A.Protecting the ocean influences mining most.
B.Ocean protection has achieved great progress.
C.Few oceans have been properly protected so far.
D.Current rules have been enough for ocean protection.
10.What can we learn about the Pristine Seas project
A.It has protected two-thirds of the world’s ocean.
B.It sets unrealistic goals when protecting the ocean.
C.It asks to prohibit fishing in the 35 created reserves.
D.It has made some advances in maintaining biodiversity.
11.Where can we probably read this article
A.www..

Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that even though you’re packed into enclosed space wit hundreds of other people, the morning trip can leave you feeling somewhat lonely.
One London resident, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube here and it’s completely silent and it’s strange,” says Jonathan Dunne, an American living in London, who has started a campaign of giving out badges (徽章) with the slogan “Tube Chat ” last month, encouraging travelers in London to get talking to one another.
Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive responses, there are always exceptions.
Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. “ I can’t stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he said.
Michael Robinson, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.
“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in London, why not say hello to the person next to you Just make sure to check for a badge first.
12.Which partly leads to the silence on the Tube in London
A.The government’s rule. B.People’s desire for quiet.
C.British people’s personality. D.Awareness of personal privacy.
13.What can the badge with “Tube Chat ” be seen as
A.A request for keeping silent. B.A special way of greeting someone.
C.A signal of avoiding being disturbed. D.An encouragement to start a conversation.
14.Why does the author mention Brian and Micheal
A.To stress the importance of communication.
B.To show not everyone agrees with Dunne’s idea.
C.To prove Londoners are speechless on the Tube.
D.To state the disadvantages of chatting with strangers.
15.What’s the best tile for the passage
A.Silence on the Tube!
B.Tube Chat or Not
C.Lonely Travel in the London Tube
D.Tube Passengers Wearing Badges

Whether it is the flu or any of the other cold-like viruses rising in winter, it seems that stuffy noses and sore throats are common symptoms. You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better or worse depending on the time of day. 16 Then, they partially clear up throughout the day, only to get worse once more as you get to bed. Why does this happen
Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). The circadian rhythm is very important for daily cellular processes and can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each day. 17
While resting, the body uses the downtime to recover. 18 This also applies when you are ill—the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, resulting in and immune response against diseases and the immune system fighting infection.
This, therefore, explains why our cold symptoms get worse as we settle down for a night’s sleep. Cells infected by viruses are attracted to the local area and killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus (鼻涕) floods the nose to join the fight. 19 You wake up feeling like death due to the battle happening within.
20 The first is simply gravity. When you lie down, your mucus builds up in the nose, causing pressure and headaches. As you stand up, you start to feel better. Another factor is about hormones. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by lack of sleep at night and could influence immune function, leading to a cycle of sleepless nights and then feeling worse.
A.Others are reporting the same thing.
B.It’s a good thing, but it really doesn’t feel like it.
C.Gravity helps out a lot more when you are upright.
D.Most commonly, you wake up with worse symptoms.
E.There are other reasons why you might feel worse at night.
F.This is why sleep is so important after you’ve been to the gym.
G.It also plays a critical role in controlling the heart and the immune system.

Each individual story and the themes mentioned are written through the Black American and Afro-Latino experiences. (这本短篇小说集探讨了归属的复杂性和家的真正意义。每个人的故事和提到的主题都是通过美国黑人和非裔拉丁美洲人的经历写成的)”可知,此书通过主人公的经历告诉我们家的意义。故选B。 3.细节理解题。从最后一段“Bodie Kane has tried to move on past the 1995 murder of her boarding school roommate. When she returns to the boarding school as an adult, Bodie realizes there are still mysteries about how the case was wrapped up and justice was served. (博迪·凯恩试图忘掉1995年她寄宿学校室友被谋杀的事。当她成年后回到寄宿学校时,博迪意识到案件是如何结束的,正义是如何得到伸张的,这仍然是一个谜)”可知,I Have Some Questions for You是一本侦探小说,适合侦探故事爱好者。故选D。
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者如何在家庭中过零浪费的生活方式。 4. 词句猜测题。根据划线部分前文“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to(如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好)”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.(在这个过程中,我学到了一些东西,我希望如果你在一个不总是支持你的家庭中尽最大努力去弄清楚如何做出改变,你会感到鼓舞)”可知,如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好加入这一运动。由此推知,划线词组jump on that bandwagon与Join you in what you’re doing.(加入你正在做的事情)意思接近。故选B。 5. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere.

Outside of these zones, the ocean’s story is a continuing failure.(世界上只有7%的海洋受到保护,而且大多是薄弱的法规,只有2.5%的海洋受到高度保护。在这些区域之外,海洋的故事是一个持续的失败。)”可知,目前只有很少的海洋得到了保护。故选C。 10. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Enric is working with the National Geographic Society and together launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. Over the past 14 years, Pristine Seas has helped create 28 marine reserves, making up two-thirds of the world’s fully protected marine areas—covering more than two million square miles in all.( Enric正与国家地理学会合作,并于2008年共同启动了“原始海洋”项目。在过去的14年里,“原始海洋”帮助建立了28个海洋保护区,占世界完全受保护海洋区域的三分之二,总面积超过200万平方英里。)”以及文章第三段“Now Sala and his team have set an even more ambitious goal: to see more than a third of the world’s ocean conserved for the purpose not just of sustaining biodiversity but also of replenishing(补充)fish stocks and storing carbon.(现在,Sala和他的团队制定了一个更加雄心勃勃的目标:保护世界上三分之一以上的海洋,不仅是为了维持生物多样性,也是为了补充鱼类资源和储存碳。)”可知,“原始海洋”在维持生物多样性方面取得了一些进展。故选D。 11.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Enric is working with the National Geographic Society and together launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. Over the past 14 years, Pristine Seas has helped create 28 marine reserves, making up two-thirds of the world’s fully protected marine areas—covering more than two million square miles in all.( Enric正与国家地理学会合作,并于2008年共同启动了“原始海洋”项目。在过去的14年里,“原始海洋”帮助建立了28个海洋保护区,占世界完全受保护海洋区域的三分之二,总面积超过200万平方英里。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍的是关于保护海洋,维持生物多样性等生态保护方面的内容,所以读者可以在与生态保护有关的www. eco-conservation. com.网站读到本文。故选D。
【答案】12.C 13.D 14.B 15.B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章首先指出了伦敦地铁上因为人们相互间并不交流而显得安静、孤独,因此一个本地人Jonathan Dunne提出一项倡导在地铁上聊天的运动,此举受到人们积极的回应,但也有人提出反对。 12.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that even though you’re packed into enclosed space wit hundreds of other people, the morning trip can leave you feeling somewhat lonely.”(英国有一条不成文的规定,鼓励人们保持沉默,并带有典型的英式矜持。这意味着,即使你和成百上千的人挤在一个封闭的空间里,早晨的旅行也会让你感到有些孤独)可知,地铁上气氛沉闷的原因,是与英国人内向、寡言少语的性格有关。故选C项。 13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“who has started a campaign of giving out badges with the slogan"Tube Chat"last month, encouraging travelers in London to get talking to one another(上个月他开始了一项运动,发放带有“Tube Chat ”标语的徽章,以此鼓励伦敦的游人们与别人聊天)”可知,试图改变地铁上气氛沉闷这一现状的伦敦居民Dunne提出了倡议人们在地铁上主动发起聊天的运动,徽章上的标语“要在地铁上聊天吗?”就是鼓励游客们与他人聊天。故选D项。 14.推理判断题。根据第三段“Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive responses, there are always exceptions.”可知,尽管Dunne的倡议受到很多人的肯定,但也有反对的声音,紧接着就给出了Brian和Michael的反对意见,提到他们就是为了佐证这一点,与B选项“并不是每个人都同意Dunne的想法”说法一致。故选B项。 15.主旨大意题。总览全文可知,文章从伦敦地铁上人们寡言少语、缺乏交流的现象出发,围绕着是否应该改变这种现状给出了不同的看法、意见,B选项“地铁是否聊天”中包含话题中心词Tube chat一词,也表达出了议论的话题,适合作为标题。故选B项。

“Are you OK, Cassie ” Jonah asked, from the doorway of the Sea Holly Cafe.
Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes, but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.
“Oh, I should be getting back to work.” She rose hurriedly.
“We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.
He was a great boss, but Cassie didn’t feel like telling him what was wrong.

Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water, but the picture did have a sad, dreary (沉闷的) quality.
About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “That’s beautiful.”
Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again. “You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear You might find it helps.”
With Willow’s words echoing in her brain, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.
When she finished, Jonah was just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height. “Hey, this is good. It’s really —“For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, beaming, “Optimistic!”
In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea.

While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
8.What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean
A.Boost. B.Change. C.Decline. D.Explode.
9.What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two
A.Its population shows a rising trend. B.It has become completely extinct.
C.It is widely distributed worldwide. D.It is the most endangered species.
10.What threatened the population of the wood stock
A.Climate change of Earth. B.Popularity of water sports.
C.Impact of human activities. D.Arrival of other wild animals.
11.What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act
A.People have safer water to drink. B.A list of species have been saved.
C.The local economy has boomed. D.The wood stock has flown away.

Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time.The role of corporate culture isto improve a company’s mission and strategies,with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit.Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.

Here are some options to show you don’t need meat for a satisfactory treat.(很难找到一个迎合无肉饮食的美食场所。这里 有一些选择,告诉你不需要吃肉就能得到令人满意的款待。)”可推知,这篇文章是写给那些不吃肉或鱼的人的。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据Genesis Restaurant 部分中的“Genesis Restaurant is especially known for its juicy dumplings, spring rolls, pork-free noodles and tofu cheesecake.

【答案】4.D 5.C 6.B 7.A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Cassie在离开艺术学校一周年这天心情低落,但被一个陌生人开导后,通过画日出再次对生活产生乐观心态的故事。 4.推理判断题。第四段““We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.

At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To summarize the text.
B.To tell about true friends.
C.To bring up a discussion.
D.To encourage online friendship.
13.What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A.In any case. B.In person.
C.In full measure. D.In advance.
14.What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A.Worried. B.Unconcerned. C.Confused. D.Positive.
15.What view does Rosen hold
A.It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B.It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C.Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
D.Social media help people stay closely connected.

Long before metal oven racks (架子) were invented, many people would place the things that they wanted to bake onto stones to keep them from burning in ovens or even directly on heat. 16 However, there are actually many applications for its use in baking.
Typical baking stones can be made of various materials, and tend to be either round or rectangular in shape. The clay stone is popular, but some people like marble. Some have a shiny surface and others don’t have. 17 Some people suggest that heading to the local kitchen supply store to purchase a baking stone is a waste of time and instead they purchase tiles (瓦片) from kitchen or gardening stores. 18 They may contain high amounts of lead and cooks would need to test them for the presence of lead before using them to cook.
19 Baking stones absorb and keep heat very well, so when you put them in the oven and allow the oven to run for a while, the stones heat up. They transfer heat directly to the bottom of your bread or other goods, as the goods can be placed directly on the stone so they never start out on a cold surface. This allows bread to bake more evenly all over, resulting in a much nicer crust (酥皮)—particularly for artisan bread.
There are many benefits of using a baking stone to cook pizza or bread. 20 For another, the stone is also praised for its ability to evenly heat the crust and lessen chances that pizza or other bread will burn.
A.The way that baking stones work is simple.
B.Baking stones can be found in all shapes and sizes.
C.For one thing, it tends to produce more desirable qualities.
D.That makes them uniquely useful for many cooking creations.
E.Today, the baking stone is associated most with cooking pizza.
F.So you can choose from a great variety of stones on the market.
G.However, most of these products are not rated for safety in cooking.

【答案】12.C 13.B 14.D 15.C 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友,这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界,他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。 12.推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(13岁的凯莉有很多朋友——事实上,如果你把她的网上朋友加起来,有532个。她花了很多时间和他们在一起。)”和第二段的“But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely (但有没有可能她网络上的朋友让她感到孤独呢?)”可知,第一段阐述了在网络上有很多朋友的现象,而第二段就此现象提出了一个疑问。由此推知,第一段目的是提出一个讨论的话题,从而引出下文对于这个话题的讨论。故选C项。 13.词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“During your parent’s childhoods(在你们父母的童年时期)”和画线短语后的“Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.(孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏,而不是和朋友们用手机玩文字游戏。)”可知,在你父母的童年时期,与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏,而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。由此推知,in the flesh意为“亲自”,故选B项。 14.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, ‘There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other’ (事实上,在很多方面,网上交流可以让友谊更加牢固。‘这绝对有积极的影响。孩子们可以经常联系,这意味着他们可以更多地分享彼此的感受。’)” 可推知,Katie对网络交流持乐观态度。故选D项。 15.推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. (然而,其他专家警告说,过多的网上交流可能会妨碍建立深厚的友谊。如果我们不断地使用虚拟世界的语言,我们就没有多少时间来处理现实世界中的友谊了。加州州立大学教授拉里·罗森说。罗森还担心,现在的孩子可能会把社交媒体上的“朋友”误认为生活中真正的朋友。)”可知,如果我们不断关注我们的虚拟世界,我们将几乎没有时间留给现实世界的友谊。Rosen担心孩子们可能会把社交媒体上的朋友错当成生活中真正的朋友。由此推知,Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊。故选C项。

For years, I rejected this part of myself, until I realized what I was missing.
I used to be proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present, all southern. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.
The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a “normal” white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it. Every time I was asked where I was from, I would say “near Memphis” or make an ambiguous statement about my country background.
Now I’m living in a big city with a respectable job downtown. Every step I walk from the train station to the office seems victorious. However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it. Occasionally my old self escapes from my lips when encouraged by an extra glass of whiskey, but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from. Then gradually I’ve become kind of homesick that leads me to put on the old Highwomen record and dance around, singing with all the accent s I’ve got left.
My grandmother used to tell me, “Girl, don’t you forget where you come from ” Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back. I’m still searching for what it means to be southern, but now I’m doing it with all the “y’alls”, and “ain’ts” I’ve kept back for so long.
4.Why did the author decide to get rid of her southern accent
A.Because she hated the southern rural life. B.Because it reflected her shameful past.
C.Because it made her laughed at by others. D.Because she was misled by prejudice.
5.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A.The author learnt the language well. B.The author managed to rebuild her accent.
C.The author made a white upper class girl. D.The author finally succeeded in big cities.
6.What contributed most to the author’s return to her southern accent
A.Her grandmother’s words. B.Her homesickness.
C.Her boredom of pretending. D.Her over-drinking.
7.What message does the passage want to convey
A.Everyone has his dark secret. B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.There’s always a silver lining in the cloud. D.You should never compromise who you are.

Lately, it’s felt like technological change has entered an incredible panies like OpenAI and Google have unveiled new Artificial Intelligence systems with incredible capabilities, making what once seemed like science fiction an everyday reality. It’s an era that is raising big, existential questions for us all, about everything from the future of human existence to the future of human work.
“Things are changing so fast,” says Erik Brynjolfsson, a leading, technology-focused economist based at Stanford University. As he notes, this new wave of technological change looks like it could be pretty different. Unlike before, experienced and skilled workers benefited mostly from AI technology. In this new wave, it’s the less experienced and less skilled workers who benefit the most. “And that might be helpful in terms of closing some of the inequality that previous technologies actually promoted,” Brynjolfsson says. So one benefit of intelligence machines is—maybe —they will improve the know-how and smarts of low performers, thereby reducing inequality.
But it’s also possible that AI could lower the profit of the experienced, smart, or knowledgeable ones. AI could reduce inequality by bringing the bottom up, and it could also reduce inequality by bringing the top and middle down.
Of course, as Erik put, it’s also possible that Al could end up increasing inequality even more. For one, it could make the Big AI companies, which own these powerful new systems, wildly rich. It could also empower business owners to replace more and more workers with intelligent machines. And it could kill jobs for all but the best of the best in various industries, who keep their jobs because maybe they’re superstars or because maybe they have seniority.
The effects of AI, of course, are still very much being studied-and these systems are evolving fast — so this is just an assumption. This machine intelligence could upend much of the previous thinking on which kinds of jobs will be affected by automation.
8.What do the underlined words “the know-how and smarts” mean in paragraph 2
A.Experience and intelligence. B.Skills and potential.
C.Abilities and experience. D.Outlook and talents.
9.Who will gain more in this new AI era
A.The senior with high rank. B.The new with little experience.
C.The learned with great credit. D.The poor with practical skills.
10.Which statement will Erik probably agree with
A.The fast development of AI will promote the division of inequality.
B.The best of all walks of life will survive the competition against AI systems.
C.Giant AI companies will be the winner in the future world of new AI systems.
D.Lower rank workers with little knowledge are bound to be abandoned by employers.
11.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.The Fast Growth of the World B.The Influence of the Inequality
C.The Impact of the AI System D.The Future of the AI Generation

We have long been attracted by quick solutions that could increase our intelligence. Today, people’s hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in “smarter minds”. But is this quick solution all it is said to be
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic (算术), memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. Some apps tell us that the more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get. It is really a big promise.
Many of the apps say they are based on “science”, a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist (神经系统科学家). The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day flies in the face of what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying thousands of users across a wide variety of apps, researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that brain training had no great effect on cognitive (认知的) functioning in the real world. The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or make a complex computer program, I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere. Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Return of the Obra Dinn”, see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
12.What does the author say about brain training apps
A.They have scientific support. B.They work in the form of games.
C.They require problem-solving skills. D.They are based on complex arithmetic.
13.What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Goes into details of. B.Takes advantage of.
C.Goes against. D.Comes from.
14.Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory
A.Limited. B.Indirect. C.Damaging. D.Far-reaching.
15.What is the author’s attitude to “Baba Is You”
A.Doubtful. B.Intolerant. C.Uninterested. D.Favorable.

Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
18 Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 19 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 20 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A.It is a gradual affair.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some form of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.

答案&解析
第二部分 阅读理解
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是一则广告,介绍《新科学家》举办的2022年大思想家系列活动的四场在 线讲座。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Save 20 off the standard ticket price by purchasing a series ticket to all four talks in the Big Thinkers Series (available on-demand) or purchase single tickets for just 13 per lecture (available by early booking).(购买“大思想家”系列所有四场演讲的系列票(可按需购买)或购买单场票价仅为13英镑(可提前预 订),可以节省标准票价20英镑)”可知,单场的票价是13英镑,购买一个系列可以节约20英镑,因此买一 个系列的票价为:4×13-20=32(英镑)。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据A Brief History of Time keeping with Chad Orzel 部分的“From Stonehenge to atomic clocks, here is the 5, 000-year history of how science is used to mark time. Chad Orzel, the internationally bestselling author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, offers us a witty journey through scientific theory and quirky (反常的) historical detail.(从巨石阵到原子钟,这是5000年来科学如何用来标记时间的历史。Chad Orzel 是国际畅销书《如何教你的狗量子物理》的作者,他通过科学理论和离奇的历史细节为我们提供了一段诙 谐的旅程)”可知,Chad Orzel的讲座是关于时间标记的历史。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If you are curious about your planet or your universe, then this series is your place to hear the latest research.(如果你对你的星球或宇宙感到好奇,那么这个系列是你听到最新研究的地方)”可知, 这四个讲座的共同之处是它们都是针对科学爱好者。故选A。
【答案】4.D 5.B 6.C 7.D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的南方口音,但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分,决定找回自己的南方口音。 4.细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.(在成长过程中,我开始意识到,在我们的地区之外,南方人经常被视为没有文化、没有受过教育、无知和心胸狭窄。在青少年和成年人之间的尴尬阶段,我的口音象征着我讨厌的南方农村生活的一切)”可知,作者被别人对南方人的偏见误导,决定改掉自己的南方口音,故选D。 5.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a ‘normal’ white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it.(摆脱口音的过程始于高中的Gilmore Girls。每集结束后,我都会站在镜子前,练习角色的台词,努力让自己说话像一个‘正常’的白人中上层女孩。最终,我成功地打破了我的说话方式并重建了起来)”可知,本段主要讲述作者花费很大力气去模仿Gilmore Girls剧中角色的台词,最后成功改掉了自己的南方口音,故选B。 6.细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it.(然而,我一直在假装,我受够了)”可知,作者受够了一直假装,决定找回自己的南方口音,故选C。 7.推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合倒数第二段中“but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from.(这让我觉得自己好像是个骗子——一个忘记自己来自哪里的女孩)”和最后一段中“My grandmother used to tell me, ‘Girl, don’t you forget where you come from ’ Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back.(我的祖母曾经对我说:‘女孩,你不要忘记你来自哪里吗?’记忆随着时间的流逝而褪色,但这一件事却深深地印在我的脑海里。所以,我决定回来)”可知,文章主要讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音,但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分,决定找回自己的南方口音,所以本文想要传达的是“永远不要妥协,做真实的自己”,故选D。
【答案】8.A 9.B 10.C 11.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了经济学家Erik就OpenAI等新兴人工智能公司所触发的新人工智能对人类未来可能产生的影响的研究。 8. 词义猜测题。根据第二段“In this new wave, it’s the less experienced and less skilled workers who benefit the most.”(在这股新浪潮中,经验不足、技术含量较低的工人受益最大。)可知,智能机器的一个益处就是提升较低的工作表现者的经验和智力,从而推断出划线短语the know-how and smarts在句中意为“经验和智力”,和A项“经验和智力”意思相同。故选A项。 9. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In this new wave, it’s the less experienced and less skilled workers who benefit the most.”(在这股新浪潮中,经验不足、技术含量较低的工人受益最大。)可知,在新的人工智能时代受益最多的是经验不足的新人。故选B项。 10. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, as Erik put, it’s also possible that Al could end up increasing inequality even more. For one, it could make the Big AI companies, which own these powerful new systems, wildly rich.”(当然,正如Erik所说,人工智能最终也有可能进一步加剧不平等。首先,它可以让拥有这些强大新系统的大型人工智能公司变得非常富有。)可知,Erik赞同的观点是巨型人工智能公司将成为未来新人工智能系统世界的赢家。故选C项。 11.主旨大意题。根据第二段“So one benefit of intelligence machines is—maybe —they will improve the know-how and smarts of low performers, thereby reducing inequality.”(因此,智能机器的一个好处是——也许——它们将提高低绩效者的专业知识和智慧,从而减少不平等。)及第三段“Of course, as Erik put, it’s also possible that Al could end up increasing inequality even more.”(当然,正如Erik所说,人工智能最终也有可能进一步加剧不平等。)及最后一段“The effects of AI, of course, are still very much being studied-and these systems are evolving fast — so this is just an assumption.”(当然,人工智能的影响仍在研究中,这些系统正在快速发展——所以这只是一个假设。)可知,本文主要通过人工智能对工作者和加剧了社会不平等两个方面讲述了人工智能的影响,C项“人工智能的影响”符合题意。故选C项。
【答案】12.B 13.C 14.A 15.D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了大脑训练应用程序在提高认知能力和智力方面的有效性,说明了虽然这些应用程序可以提高一些特定技能,例如算术和记忆能力,但对其他技能的益处有限,并且它们的整体有效性是值得怀疑的。作者还建议,解谜视频游戏可能提供了一种更复杂和有效的训练认知能力的方式。 12.细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic (算术), memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. (有很多大脑训练应用程序,但它们都有相后的特点:它们将简单的算术、记忆测试、逻辑和模式匹配问题等心理练习变成了快速游戏。)”可知,脑力训练应用程序的共同点是:把简单的算术、记忆测试、逻辑匹配等脑力练习变成了快速游戏,它们以游戏的形式发挥作用。故选B项。 13.短语猜测题。根据第二段中“Some apps tell us that the more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get. It is really a big promise. (一些应用程序告诉我们,你玩这些迷你游戏越多,你就会变得越聪明。这真的是一个很大的承诺。)”可知,作者认为靠玩游戏变聪明是一个很大的承诺。结合第四段中“The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills. (已经发现的积极影响仅限于非常特定的小游戏和用户接受训练的任务,比如记忆单词或数字列表的能力,或进行心算的能力,对其他技能几乎没有好处。)”可知,通过玩游戏进行的脑力训练对认知功能等其他技能没有好处,故可知这一很大的承诺并不能达成。因此,可推测作者认为脑力训练的理念违背了人类思考和学习的原理,并未达到预期效果。故可推测短语flies in the face of 意为“与……相反”故选C项。 14.推理判断题。根据第四段“The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills. (已经发现的积极影响仅限于非常特定的小游戏和用户接受训练的任务,比如记忆单词或数字列表的能力,或进行心算的能力,对其他技能几乎没有好处。)”可知,已知的脑力训练的积极影响仅限于非常特定的一些小游戏和训练任务,但对其他技能几乎没有好处。由此推知,脑力训练对记忆力的提高具有局限性。故选A项。 15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Return of the Obra Dinn”, see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game. (益智电子游戏,如“Baba Is You”和“Return of the Obra Dinn”使玩家能够以比任何脑力训练迷你游戏复杂得多的方式运用他们的逻辑、记忆和注意力技巧。)”可知,作者认为“Baba Is You”和“Return of the Obra Dinn”这类益智游戏更能激发玩家在逻辑、记忆和注意力方面的能力,其复杂程度远超过任何脑力训练小游戏。由此推知,作者是对“Baba ls You”这类益智游戏持赞成态度。故选D项。

(对经典的喜爱显然不是一见钟情)”及下文“We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. (我们开始是熟人,最终因为私下里的笑话而成为亲密的朋友)”可知,对经典的喜爱是一个循序渐进的过程。由此可知,A.

(深吸一口气,然后跳上梅尔维尔的《裴廓德号》的甲板,或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知,此处在讲述读书的具体做法。由此可知,F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. (提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)能够衔接下文,属于真正开始读书前的思想准备工作,符合语境。故选F。 20.根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。没有明确的解释,没有单一的、精确的答案。作为读者,你的目标是发现哪些方面和见解对你有意义。享受这个过程)”可知,阅读经典文本时,应用进行思考。由此可知,G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (思考让你困惑的是什么,用心阅读,批判性思考)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。

On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.
Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating
To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.
It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”
But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”
4.Why did fire trucks come to Manton
A.To deal with an emergency. B.To send water to the community.
C.To ensure people’s safety in the town. D.To help with Chittle building the ice rink.
5.What did Chittle do to carry out his project
A.Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B.Purchase a piece of land behind his house.
C.Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D.Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.
6.How did the ice rink affect the community
A.It made the community popular in Mantan. B.It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.
C.It offered people there comfort and company. D.It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities.
7.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A.Everyone could make a difference to society. B.Chittle received acts of kindness from others.
C.The community got better due to the ice rink. D.Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.

(2023·江西宜春·宜丰中学高三试题)
Some people say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left to explore, and that the age of exploration will be over soon.
I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. That’s because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.
As the golden age of exploration weakens, so does the richness of life on Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas on the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been progressively carved up (瓜分). Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition. Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.
In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, not just for the protection of it, but because it is an important part of the ecosystems from which we gain our necessities like clean water, food and materials. If we succeed, then expeditions — brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action — will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.
Based on my own research expedition which aims to understand “edge effects” — how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that today’s scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.
It is the young generation that is the main force to lead the next wave of expeditions. The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. Their leadership is needed now, more than ever.
8.What’s the purpose of this text
A.To suggest understanding nature by keeping exploring.
B.To advise people not to travel to unknown places.
C.To inform us about the reduced biodiversity.
D.To call on the public to support the study.
9.What can we know about the expedition in wild spaces from Paragraph 3
A.It is difficult for explorers to make progress.
B.It is more accessible with the help of technology.
C.It promotes the development of satellite technology.
D.It requires explorers to take sufficient heavy equipment.
10.What does the underlined part “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Appear unexpectedly. B.Close temporarily.
C.Develop quickly. D.Differ greatly.
11.What does the author realize after his research expedition
A.The significance of scientists’ field trip.
B.The difficulty of carrying out fieldwork.
C.The need to expand the edges of forests.
D.The influence of his study on the environment.

(2023·河北·高三校联考一模)
Even though people have been paralyzed (瘫痪的) playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal (磨难) to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.
Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing become a daily routine. That does not wipe out the danger, but it greatly reduces it.
Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete’s way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.
Some view parkour — the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings — as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.
To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.

Some pals and I were in the midst of a pinball competition at a bar the other night when the machine kept breaking down. We called over a very busy employee who’s responsible for helping keep the place running. He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinball machine twice. 16 A couple of the guys immediately objected, saying the employee was just doing the job he was paid to do. I insisted and got the group to agree to the plan, although somewhat reluctantly.
My pinball wizard didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered 17 There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey.
18 I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far - say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra. But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so. 19
Plus, tipping is good karma (因果报应). It’s always worth it to tip in unexpected situations- ones that don’t necessarily involve a hint on a payment screen. 20 He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play.
So next time, there must be no arguments with my friends when times come to tip.
A. This leads to what’s been called “tipping fatigue (疲劳)”
B. So, why am I willing to go against the trend and say yes
C. I suggested we tip him $10 and split the tip among all of us.
D. There’s an argument that we should ban tipping altogether.
E. Guess what happened next with my pinball-machine fixer at the bar
F. One dollar or two won’t make or break me, but it can possibly help with their rent.
G. Should they earn far below the minimum wage, employers must make up the difference.

When my daughter completes a task, I can’t help but praise her. It’s only natural to give praise where praise is 1 , right But is there such a thing as too much praise
According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don’t 2 from constant praise as much as we’d like to think. “Parents often praise, 3 they are building their child’s self-confidence. 4 over-praising can have a negative effect,” says Phillip. “When we use the same praise 5 , it may become empty and no longer 6 by the child. It can also become a (an) 7 that anything they do must be rewarded with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to 8 of disappointing their parents.”
Does this mean we should 9 all the praise Phillip says no. “The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process 10 the outcome. It is the recognition of a child’s attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is 11 ,” she says. “Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow.”
So how do we break the 12 of praise we’re all so accustomed (习惯) to Phillip says it’s important to 13 the distinction between “person praise” and “process praise”. “Person praise is simply saying how 14 someone is. It’s a form of personal judgement. Process praise is 15 of the efforts the person has just undertaken. Children who receive person praise, are more likely to feel shame after losing,” says Phillip.

【答案】4.D 5.C 6.C 7.B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了由于活动限制,Scot Chittle在社区建造了溜冰场,以供社区居民进行户外活动。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home.(在12月的一个寒冷的晚上,消防车到达了密歇根州沉睡的曼顿小镇,冲向了Chittle的家)”、第二段“And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating (还有什么比滑冰更能让人们出门的户外活动呢)”和第三段“It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.(12辆消防车才运来足够的水)”可知,在12月的一个晚上,消防车赶往Manton,是为了帮助Chittle修建溜冰场。故选D。 5.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online.(为了实现他的梦想,Chittle下载了如何建造溜冰场的说明,然后在网上订购了3000平方英尺的防水布和一些木头来建造墙壁)”可知,为了实现建溜冰场这一梦想,Chittle在网上下载了建造教程并购买了所需材料。故选C。 6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”(Chittle的邻居Audrey Hooker说道:“当情况艰难时,是这个地方,它太棒了,因为我们聚在一起,变得平静和快乐,而不是担心。”)”可知,在形势艰难的时候,Chittle建的溜冰场成了一个让人们可以聚在一起,感到平静和快乐,而不是担心的地方。由此可推断,Chittle建的溜冰场带给社区居民慰藉和陪伴。故选C。 7.词句猜测题。结合上文提到的Chittle为社区建溜冰场和划线句的后文内容“When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash.(当社区听说他花了多少钱来实现这个项目时,每个人都挺身而出。一场筹款活动带来了大约1300美元的收入,人们给Chittle家里寄去了装满现金的信件)”可知,划线部分表示善意并没有在Chittle这里终止,同时Chittle也收到其他人的善意。故选B。
【答案】8.A 9.B 10.A 11.A 【导语】本文是说明文,文章主要介绍了科学家实地探索来了解自然的重要性。通过探索,人们才能理解并欣赏值得保护的东西。 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. That’s because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.(相反,我想说的是,从未有过更大的探索需求。这是因为所有探索的舞台都是自然界,而自然界正在经历迅速的衰退。正是通过探索,我们理解了,当我们理解了,我们就会对所发现的东西产生欣赏。最终,只有我们欣赏的东西才值得保护。)”和第四段“If we succeed, then expeditions — brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action — will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.(如果我们成功了,那么探险队——短暂的野外旅行,寻求回答问题、监测种群并激励行动——将有新的目标感。更重要的是,它们极大地帮助公众体验、理解和欣赏自然。)”可推知,文章的写作目的是建议通过不断探索来了解自然。故选A。 9.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition. Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.(例如,访问奥卡万戈三角洲或卡拉哈里沙漠,就不再意味着自力更生的探险。在重要的国家公园里都会出现野外观测站,利用卫星进行遥感也会变得很普遍。)”可推知,在技术的帮助下,野外探险更加容易到达,故选B。 10.词句猜测题。划线词组上文讲到“Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition. (例如,参观奥卡万戈三角洲或卡拉哈里沙漠,不再意味着自力更生的探险。)”可知,野外探险不再是自力更生的探险,因此推断划线词组所在句子“Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.”的意思是:在重要的国家公园里出现了野外观测站,卫星遥感变得司空见惯。说明在在技术的帮助下,野外探险容易了,可知第三段中带下划线的部分的意思是“突然出现”,故选A。 11.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Based on my own research expedition which aims to understand “edge effects” — how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that today’s scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there cm the forest edge.(根据我自己的研究考察,目的是了解“边缘效应”——森林边缘温度的变化如何影响动物,我发现今天的科学家继续花时间在这个领域是很重要的。正是在这里,他们开始理解看似无关的环境相互作用如何影响他们的学习系统。有时候,在你站在森林边缘之前,很难知道哪个是重要的测量值。)”可推知,作者在研究探险之后意识到了科学家实地考察的意义。故选A。
【答案】12.C 13.B 14.B 15.D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了作者对于极限运动危险性的认识。 12.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.(像高山自行车这样的运动是非常危险的,因为你会下坡,越过岩石或泥土地带,穿过森林,即使以潜在的致命速度。一失足就可能导致你的失败)”可推知,作者第一段提及高山自行车是为了说明极限运动确实有危险性。故选C。 13.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing become a daily routine. That does not wipe out the danger, but it greatly reduces it.(对大多数人来说,极限运动之所以是极限运动,仅仅是因为它们需要比普通人更多的技巧。一个运动员运用技巧和训练是一个极端的事情被提上日程。这并不能完全消除危险,但可以大大减少危险)”可知,第二段主要讨论了在极限运动中,运动员的技巧在保障自身安全的过程中是非常重要的。故选B。 14.推理判断题。根据最后一段“To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.(总之,是的,极限运动是危险的,但危险取决于运动员,他们对运动的选择,他们采取的方向,以及环境。有些事情是我们无法控制的,而有些事情我们可以通过锻炼和更健康的风险选择来影响)”可推知,作者对极限运动的看法是客观的。故选B。 15.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.(总之,是的,极限运动是危险的,但危险取决于运动员,他们对运动的选择,他们采取的方向,以及环境。有些事情是我们无法控制的,而有些事情我们可以通过锻炼和更健康的风险选择来影响)”及前文论述可知,作者认为极限运动的危险和很多因素都有关,不能简单地把极限运动和危险等同起来。由此可知,Are Extreme Sports Really That Dangerous (极限运动真的那么危险吗?)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. E 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和朋友一天晚上去酒吧玩弹球游戏,结果弹球机坏了,工人来给他们修理弹球机的时候,作者想要支付修理工小费,但是他的同伴们并不同意。由此事引发了作者对于支付小费问题的看法。 16. 上文“He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinball machine twice. (他把一切都放在一边,两次修理我们有问题的弹球机)”以及下文“A couple of the guys immediately objected, saying the employee was just doing the job he was paid to do. (几个人立即表示反对,说这名员工只是在做他应得的工作)”说明维修人员给作者他们修理弹球机。空处承上启下,C项中的“him”指代上文中的修理工,下文中的“几个人立即反对的是作者前面提到的建议”。C项“我建议我们给他10美元小费,然后把小费分给我们所有人。”符合语境。故选C。 17. 上文“My pinball wizard didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered (我的弹球高手并没有伸出手来,但是我们有多少次碰到过这样的付款屏幕,上面显示给我们点的三明治20% 的小费?)”说明作者他们觉得付的小费并不合理。空处和前文为因果关系,说明人们觉得小费不合理导致的结果就是人们对给小费感觉到疲劳。A项中的This指代前文“人们觉得没有必要给小费”这件事”。故选A。 18. 上文“There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey. (有数据支持这一趋势:根据 Bankrate 最近的一项调查,66% 的美国成年人对小费持负面看法,32% 的人说他们厌倦了付款屏幕上的暗示)”说明人们不愿给小费已经成为了一种趋势。下文“I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far - say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra.(但是我一般都会谨慎行事:如果有人想要小费,我会假设他们是出于经济原因这样做的)”说明作者原意给小费的理由。空处承接上文引出下文。B项中的“I willing to go against the trend ”和上文“There is data to back up the trend”相呼应,并引出作者原意违反这一趋势的原因。故选B。 19. 上文“But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so. (但是我一般都会谨慎行事: 如果有人想要小费,我会假设他们是出于经济原因这样做的)”说明有人想要小费是有原因的。空处承接上文,表明小费对于他们的重要性。F项“一两块钱不能决定我的成败,但也许能帮他们付房租。”符合语境。故选F。 20. 下文“He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play. (他非常感激那10美元的小费,那天晚上晚些时候,他奖励了我们小组10美元以上的免费代币,以备将来玩耍之用)”说明付小费也会得到回报。空处引出下文,说明作者想让人们看到给小费所得到的回报。E项“猜猜接下来我的弹球机修理工在酒吧发生了什么?”符合语境。故选E。

A
(2023·广东广州·华南师大附中校考阶段练习)
Inspired by his mentor Louis Sullivan, an influential figure in the world of modernist architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term “organic architecture” around 1908.
Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world, organic architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between the organic and the built environment. It ensures that the individual elements within buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature. Here are four of the most striking examples.
Casa Milà
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Year of completion: 1910
Architect: Antoni Caudi
Considered the greatest master of Catalan Modernism, Antoni Gaudi was devoted to nature and the Catholic religion. While he originally intended this organic building to have a religious purpose, it is now an apartment building. True to the organic style, it features honey shapes that seemingly emerge from the earth.
Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
Location: Singapore
Year of completion: 2015
Architect: Thomas Heatherwick
Earning the nicknames “dim sum basket building” and “the Hive”, the Learning Hub consists of 12 eight-storey towers arranged around a public atrium (天井). The organic nature of the building extends to its interior with features like gardens that are intended to encourage social interactions and study among students.
Falling Water
Location: Mill Run, Pennsylvania
Year of completion:1939
Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright
A classic of modernism and organic architecture, Falling Water sits on top of a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for the Kaufmann family who—though they had originally hoped for a view of the waterfall-came to love the home.
East Beach Café
Location: Littlehampton, UK
Year of completion: 2007
Architect: Thomas Heatherwick
Located in a seaside area with an industrial history, East Beach Café resembles a piece of driftwood. Forty meters long, seven meters wide and five meters high, it initially polarized locals, but has since been well-received by the whole community. It was the first building for Thomas Heatherwick who previously was better known as a sculptor.
1. Which building was designed to serve a religious purpose
A. Casa Milà. B. Learning Hub at NTU.
C. Falling Water. D. East Beach Cafe.
2. What do we know about the four buildings in the text
A. They are architectural classics of modernism.
B. They feature imitations of animals or elements in nature.
C. East Beach Café was not welcomed by all the locals initially.
D. The designer of Learning Hub at NTU invented’ the concept “organic architecture’’.
3. Which of the following magazines is the text probably taken from
A. National Geographic. B. Architectural Digest.
C. Organic Gardening. D. BBC History.

The turn of the year is the time for reviewing one’s life, and for making some resolutions about what to concentrate on in the coming year; and for many years I have taken advantage of the holiday to review my own ambition.
One thing I decide on this year is to give up writing the Grumpy (暴躁的) Old Bookman column in this magazine. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in the book world. But Leonard Woolf, husband of American writer Virginia Wool (1882—1941), used to say a man should change his career every seven years. Though I would say that changing your whole career frequently is going a bit far, I do find that it serves as a great refresher if you can occasionally try a new job within the same line of business.
It is over 15 years since our editor wrote to me and asked if I would be interested in writing a regular piece about what was, even then, a rapidly changing publishing scene. He approached me because since 2004 I had been writing a regular blog called, Grumpy Old Bookman.
As my monthly survey of developments in both traditional and digital publishing continued, in this magazine, I began to realize that writers in this century, of both fiction and non-fiction, are living in something close to a paradise (天堂). Once, you struggled for years to find a publisher— or an agent if you wanted one—but now you can publish your own stuff, either digitally or in paperback, without it costing you a penny piece.
After about five years of producing such columns, it occurred to me that, rather than let these essays fade away on the seas of time, it might be valuable to publish my thoughts and comments in book form to potential readers. Hence, in 2014, I published the first 69 GOB columns in paperback format, using Amazon’s Create Space facilities. Title: Writers Rejoice! A monthly diary of the dawn of the digital age, which was my first trial. And now I sincerely wish a new 2024.
4. Why does the author want to give up writing the column
A. He is fed up with the career linked to books. B. He is very keen on trying something new.
C. He follows Leonard Woolf’s suggestion. D. He’s used to changing his job every seven years.
5. According to the author, what can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Now it is amazing to find a publisher easily. B. Publishing industry is a profitable business.
C. It is rather hard to publish books nowadays. D. It is a blessing to live in the present times.
6. What do you think of the author
A. Emotional and good at controlling himself. B. Dedicated but easy to doubt himself.
C. Purposeful and good at self-adjustment. D. Ambitious but unwilling to change himself.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us
A. Giving up timely is another virtue. B. Changing the job means a new opportunity.
C. The beginning of a year is a new start. D. Reflection can drive us to push forward.

Next time you’re having trouble solving a tricky puzzle, consider asking a nearby bumblebee.
A new study in the journal PLOS Biology finds that bumblebees can learn certain behaviors from each other, suggesting these social insects have a capacity for what we humans call “culture.”
In the past couple of decades, a growing body of evidence has shown that animals like chimps and birds show behaviors of learning. If what they learn lasts for a long time, it turns into a tradition. And culture is made up of multiple traditions. “Bumblebees, though, have some of the most complex behavioral abilities, nobody’s really thought to look at culture in such insects and generally assume they’re mostly driven by inborn factors instead,” says Alice Bridges, a behavioral ecologist at Anglia Ruskin University in England.
To prove them wrong, Bridges built a puzzle box, whose base held the reward: a drop of super sweet sugar water. The box was designed with a rotating (旋转) top that can be rotated by pushing either on a red tab clockwise or a blue tab anti-clockwise. Some bees were trained to push the red tab to get the sugar water while others pushed the blue one. Then, these tutor bees were placed inside different colonies (蜂群), along with the puzzle boxes.
The experiment ultimately played itself out. In colonies where the tutor bee had originally learned to push the red tab, the other bees in the colony usually pushed the red tab. In colonies where the tutor bee was trained to push the blue tab, their fellow bees also tended to do the same. In contrast, in the control groups without tutors, the bees sometimes learned how to open the boxes, but most of them would do it once or twice and then never again. “They perhaps hadn’t quite made the link between their behavior and the reward,” Bridges supposes.
“Many of us consider ourselves to be rather special…because we have culture, we can learn and we’re social,” Bridges says. “But now it turns out that even the bee also has culture, which is an uncomfortable truth: human culture, once thought unique, does not emerge ‘out of the blue’ but has obviously built on deep evolutionary foundations.
8.What is people’s common attitude to bumblebees having culture
A.Positive. B.Indifferent. C.Interested. D.Doubtful.
9.Why does Bridges place trained bees inside different colonies
A.To test their learning capability in new settings.
B.To see if they will spread the secret of the boxes.
C.To evaluate their ruling power in various groups.
D.To observe if they will share their food with peers.
10.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the study
A.Its appeal to the public. B.Implications on cultural origins.
C.Its practical application. D.Suggestions for future directions.
11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Human Culture Is Losing Its Uniqueness
B.Bee’s Behavior Builds on Biological Factors
C.Culture May Be Present Among Bumblebees
D.Animals’ Evolution May Start From Colonies
D

I have frequently taught Research Methods and Design to college students at several institutions. I love teaching this course. One reason, of course, is that I enjoy thinking about research methodology (方法学) and sharing it with others. The other reason, however, is the obvious impact that it has on students. Every term, one (if not more) student tells me how taking this course has affected him/her: “I used to just read articles and believe what they said, but now I find myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this a well designed study ” That is what I want the students to achieve in this course.
This brings to mind something written by Dorothy L. Sayers in 1948. One of her books, The Lost Tools of Learning speaks to Sayers’ thoughts on education. “By teaching our young men and women to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed words. By the invention of the film and the radio,we have made certain that no dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery of words, words, words. They do not know what the words mean: they are victims to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intelligence.”
We are well past the 1940s, but her observation is still relevant. Sayers’ point is well taken. In the world of 24-hour news and social media that often resembles (类似) the Wild West, the ability to carry out evaluations has never been more important. In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media, as well as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able to reason well, and think and give a judgement carefully.
When my students begin the Research Methods and Design course, they are generally not content to read all those research article I give. However, by the end of the course, they are excited about their newly obtained abilities.
12.What is the author’s course goal for her students
A.Thinking critically. B.Reading deeply.
C.Designing studies well. D.Questioning themselves.
12.What did Sayers imply about education
A.It was boring. B.It was worrying.
C.It was conventional. D.It was useless.
13.What does the underlined word “distortions” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.Popular news. B.Various evaluations.
C.Persuasive arguments. D.Misleading information.
15.Why does the author write the text
A.To review a book. B.To introduce a writer.
C.To suggest a practical skill. D.To criticize social media.

Birthdays are supposed to be happy occasions where celebrations, being spoiled and positive reflection are all part of the day. Unfortunately, feeling depressed about an approaching birthday, as a person ages, is common. The following may help fight off Birthday Blues.
·Find the best way to celebrate
16 If someone loves luxurious celebrations, then they should try to have that sort of a day. If they prefer quality time with family, then they could make arrangements. On the other hand, doing something on their birthday that they do not enjoy, will make it harder for them to have a good time.
·Keep busy
If the Birthday Blues threaten to have a negative impact on someone, it may be better to avoid the day altogether. 17 Do something else. Negative thoughts can be easily forgotten so a person can move on with their life.
· 18
It is OK to be sad sometimes, but drowning in sadness all day is unhelpful for anyone struggling with negative emotions. For those who always get the Birthday Blues, it might be a good idea just to accept that they might feel sad and anxious. 19 Acknowledge them, and then put them to one side and get on with the day in a more positive frame of mind.
·Do something special
However much people hate or fear their birthday, they can make it better if they plan something for that day that cannot fail to bring them excitement. They may think about booking to see a show, getting a spa, or going out for dinner. 10
A.Set a sadness time limit.
B.Turn the sadness into a helpful experience.
C.Allow those feelings to come into their mind.
D.Removing negative thoughts finally pays off.
E.Keeping distracted will ensure the day passes quickly.
F.Birthdays are days when it is acceptable to be a bit selfish.
G.Whatever is likely to lift their spirits may help them feel better.

B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四座建筑的情况。 1. 细节理解题。根据Casa Milà部分“While he originally intended this organic building to have a religious purpose, it is now an apartment building.” (虽然他最初打算将这座有机建筑用于宗教目的,但它现在是一栋公寓楼。)可知,Casa Milà最开始是打算用于宗教目的的。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据East Beach Café部分“Forty meters long, seven meters wide and five meters high, it initially polarized locals, but has since been well-received by the whole community.” (它长40米,宽7米,高5米,最初在当地引起了两极分化,但后来受到了整个社区的欢迎。)可知,这个咖啡厅在建立之初并不受到所有当地人的欢迎。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world, organic architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between the organic and the built environment. It ensures that the individual elements within buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature. Here are four of the most striking examples.”(有机建筑不是模仿自然或自然界中的有机元素,而是更关注对自然的重新诠释,以及有机环境与建筑环境之间的和谐。它确保了建筑内部的单个元素被组合在一起,以反映自然的秩序。以下是四个最引人注目的例子。)结合全文介绍了四座引人注意的有机建筑的例子推知,本文应该是选自《建筑文摘》这本杂志。故选B。
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者多年来一直利用假期来重新审视自己的抱负,今年作者准备放弃自己的专栏,开始把自己想法和评论以书的形式出版出来,让潜在读者受益,于是作者进行了第一次尝试。 4. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But Leonard Woolf, husband of American writer Virginia Wool (1882—1941), used to say a man should change his career every seven years. Though I would say that changing your whole career frequently is going a bit far, I do find that it serves as a great refresher if you can occasionally try a new job within the same line of business. (但是作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔的丈夫伦纳德·伍尔夫,曾经说过一个男人应该每七年换一次职业。虽然我个人会说,如此频繁地改变整个职业生涯有点过分,但我确实发现,如果你能偶尔在同一业务范围尝试一份新工作,这是一种很好的提神剂。)”可知,作者放弃写专栏是因为他采纳了伦纳德·伍尔夫的建议。故选C项。 5. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I began to realize that writers in this century, of both fiction and non-fiction, are living in something close to a paradise(天堂) (我开始意识到,这个世纪的小说和非小说作家都生活在一个接近天堂的地方)”和“but now you can publish your own stuff, either digitally or in paperback, without it costing you a penny piece (但现在你可以出版自己的作品了,无论是电子版的作品还是平装本的作品,每本都不用花一分钱)”可知,作者认为如今的作家生活在一个天堂般的地方,作家们出版自己的作品可以不用花一分钱,由此可推测出,作者认为生活在当今这个时代是一种福气。故选D项。 6. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“and for many years I have taken advantage of the holiday to review my own ambition (多年来,我一直利用假期重新审视自己的抱负)”、第二段中的“One thing I decide on this year is to give up writing the Grumpy (暴躁的) Old Bookman column in this magazine. (今年我决定放弃在这本杂志上写‘脾气暴躁的老书呆子’专栏。)”和“Though I would say that changing your whole career frequently is going a bit far, I do find that it serves as a great refresher if you can occasionally try a new job within the same line of business. (虽然我个人会说,如此频繁地改变整个职业生涯有点过分,但我确实发现,如果你能偶尔在同一业务范围尝试一份新工作,这是一种很好的提神剂。)”可知,作者一直在审视自己的抱负,并放弃了一直写的专栏,并且作者认为偶尔尝试一份新工作是一种很好的提神剂,由此可推测出,作者非常善于自我调整。根据最后一段中的“After about five years of producing such columns, it occurred to me that, rather than let these essays fade away on the seas of time, it might be valuable to publish my thoughts and comments in book form to potential readers. Hence, in 2014, I published the first 69 GOB columns in paperback format, using Amazon’s Create Space facilities. (在写了大约五年这样的专栏之后,我突然想到,与其让这些文章在时间的海洋中消失,不如把我的想法和评论以书的形式出版给潜在的读者看。因此,在2014年,我使用亚马逊的Create Space,以平装本的形式出版了前69篇GOB专栏。)”可知,作者决定把自己的想法和评论出版出来,并且最终付诸了行动,由此可推测出,作者是一个目的明确的人。故选C项。 7. 文章大意题。通读全文可知,第一段“The turn of the year is the time for reviewing one’s life, and for making some resolutions about what to concentrate on in the coming year; and for many years I have taken advantage of the holiday to review my own ambition. (一年之交是回顾自己生活的时候,也是决定来年要专注于什么的时候;我一直利用假期重新审视自己的抱负。)”引出本文要谈论的话题,即作者总是会自我反思,接下来具体讲述了作者准备放弃自己的专栏并开始把自己想法和评论以书的形式出版出来这件事的经过。由此可推测出,作者主要想告诉我们反思可以推动我们前进。故选D项。
【答案】8.D 9.B 10.B 11.C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究发现大黄蜂具有人类所说的文化的能力。 8.推理判断题。根据第三段““Bumblebees, though, have some of the most complex behavioral abilities, nobody’s really thought to look at culture in such insects and generally assume they’re mostly driven by inborn factors instead,” says Alice Bridges, a behavioral ecologist at Anglia Ruskin University in England. (英国Anglia Ruskin大学的行为生态学家Alice Bridges说:“尽管大黄蜂有一些最复杂的行为能力,但没有人真正考虑过这种昆虫的文化,通常认为它们主要是由先天因素驱动的。”)”可知,人们通常认为大黄蜂的文化是由先天因素驱动的,对大黄蜂具有文化持有怀疑的态度。故选D。 9.推理判断题。根据第五段“The experiment ultimately played itself out. In colonies where the tutor bee had originally learned to push the red tab, the other bees in the colony usually pushed the red tab. In colonies where the tutor bee was trained to push the blue tab, their fellow bees also tended to do the same. (实验最终成功了。在辅导蜂最初学会按下红色标签的蜂群中,蜂群中的其他蜜蜂通常会按下红色标签。在辅导蜂被训练按下蓝色标签的蜂群,它们的同伴也倾向于这样做)”可推知,布里奇斯把经过训练的蜜蜂放在不同的蜂群里,是为了观察蜜蜂是否会传播盒子里的秘密,将自己的行为传播给同伴。故选B。 10.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But now it turns out that even the bee also has culture, which is an uncomfortable truth: human culture, once thought unique, does not emerge ‘out of the blue’ but has obviously built on deep evolutionary foundations. (但现在事实证明,即使是蜜蜂也有文化,这是一个令人不安的事实:人类文化,曾经被认为是独一无二的,并不是‘突然’出现的,而是显然建立在深厚的进化基础上的)”可知,本段主要介绍了曾经被认为是独一无二的文化并不是突然出现,而是逐渐进化而来的,本段主要谈论了这项研究对于文化起源的影响。故选B。 11.主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new study in the journal PLOS Biology finds that bumblebees can learn certain behaviors from each other, suggesting these social insects have a capacity for what we humans call “culture.” (PLOS Biology杂志上的一项新研究发现,大黄蜂可以相互学习某些行为,这表明这些群居昆虫具有我们人类所说的“文化”的能力)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现大黄蜂具有人类所说的文化的能力,所以“文化可能存在于大黄蜂中”可以作为文章标题。故选C。
【答案】12.A 13.B 14.D 15.C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了人们应该学会批判性思考。 12.推理判断题。由第一段中的“Every term, one (if not more) student tells me how taking this course has affected him/her: “I used to just read articles and believe what they said, but now I find myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this a well designed study ’”(每学期,一名(如果不是更多的话)学生都会告诉我这门课程对他/她有何影响:“我过去只是读文章,相信他们说的话,但现在我发现自己在问‘这是真的吗?他们怎么知道的?这是一项精心设计的研究吗?’)”和第三段中的“In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media, as well as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able to reason well, and think and give a judgement carefully. (为了抵制媒体不断用歪曲的事实轰炸我们,并且能够提出一个有说服力的论点,我们必须能够很好地推理,仔细地思考和作出判断)”可知,第一段学生说的话表明,学生听完老师的课,学会对所读文章进行反思,质疑文章的真实性等,结合第三段作者建议人们仔细地思考再作出判断,说明批判性思考正是作者想让学生在她的课上学到的。故选A项。 13.推理判断题。由第二段中的“By teaching our young men and women to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed words. By the invention of the film and the radio, we have made certain that no dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery of words, words, words. They do not know what the words mean: they are victims to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intelligence.(通过教我们的年轻男女阅读,我们让他们听任印刷文字的摆布。通过电影和收音机的发明,我们已经确定,对阅读的厌恶不会保护他们免受文字、文字、文字的不断冲击。他们不知道文字的含义:他们情感上是文字的受害者,而不是在智力上是文字的主人)”可知,Sayers认为教育让年轻男女听任印刷文字的摆布,他们情感上是文字的受害者,在智力上未成为文字的主人,说明当时的教育状况是令人担忧的。故选B项。 14.词句猜测题。由第二段中的“By the invention of the film and the radio, we have made certain that no dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery of words, words, words. They do not know what the words mean: they are victims to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intelligence. (通过电影和收音机的发明,我们已经确定,对阅读的厌恶不会保护他们免受文字、文字、文字的不断冲击。他们不知道文字的含义:他们情感上是文字的受害者,而不是在智力上是文字的主人)”和第三段中的“In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media, as well as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able to reason well, and think and give a judgement carefully. (为了抵制媒体不断用distortions轰炸我们,并且能够提出一个有说服力的论点,我们必须能够很好地推理,仔细地思考和作出判断)”可知,在媒体信息下,不知道文字含义的人们容易成为文字的受害者,作者建议人们仔细地思考再作出判断,才能提出一个有说服力的论点,说明媒体给人们提供了“误导性信息(Misleading information)”,因此人们需要批判性思考信息是对是错,distortions意为“Misleading information”。故选D项。 15.推理判断题。由第一段中的“Every term, one (if not more) student tells me how taking this course has affected him/her: “I used to just read articles and believe what they said, but now I find myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this a well designed study ’”(每学期,一名(如果不是更多的话)学生都会告诉我这门课程对他/她有何影响:“我过去只是读文章,相信他们说的话,但现在我发现自己在问‘这是真的吗?他们怎么知道的?这是一项精心设计的研究吗?’)”和第三段中的“In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media, as well as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able to reason well, and think and give a judgement carefully. (为了抵制媒体不断用歪曲的事实轰炸我们,并且能够提出一个有说服力的论点,我们必须能够很好地推理,仔细地思考和作出判断)”可知,第一段学生说的话表明,学生听完老师的课,学会对所读文章进行反思,质疑文章的真实性等,结合第三段作者建议人们仔细地思考再作出判断,说明作者想让学生在她的课上学到批判性思考,再结合最后一段中的“However, by the end of the course, they are excited about their newly obtained abilities. (然而,在课程结束时,他们对新获得的能力感到兴奋)”呼应第一段的内容可知,作者的写作目的在于建议读者掌握一项实用的技能——批判性思考。故选C项。
【答案】16.F 17.E 18.A 18.C 20.G 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了帮助你战胜生日忧郁的方法。 16.分析设空位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“If someone loves luxurious celebrations, then they should try to have that sort of a day. If they prefer quality time with family, then they could make arrangements.(如果有人喜欢奢华的庆祝活动,那么他们应该试着过这样的一天。如果他们更喜欢与家人共度美好时光,那么他们可以做出安排)”可知,本段主要讲述了人们可以按照自己喜欢的方式去庆祝生日,所以F项“Birthdays are days when it is acceptable to be a bit selfish. (生日是可以允许有点自私的日子)”符合文意,为本段中心句。故选F项。 17.根据前文“If the Birthday Blues threaten to have a negative impact on someone, it may be better to avoid the day altogether. (如果“生日忧郁”可能会对某人产生负面影响,那么最好完全避开这一天)”以及后文“Do something else. Negative thoughts can be easily forgotten so a person can move on with their life.(做点别的事情。消极的想法很容易被忘记,这样人们就可以继续他们的生活)”可知,空处应是过渡句,从提议避开这一天搭配提出做点别的事情,所以E项“Keeping distracted will ensure the day passes quickly. (保持注意力分散会让时间过得很快)”符合文意,起到过渡作用,引出下文。故选E项。 18.分析设空,应是本段小标题,是对本段的高度概括,根据下文“It is OK to be sad sometimes, but drowning in sadness all day is unhelpful for anyone struggling with negative emotions. (有时悲伤是可以的,但是整天沉浸在悲伤中对任何与消极情绪斗争的人都没有帮助)”可知,本段主要讲述了悲伤可以,但是不能沉浸在悲伤中无法自拔,所以A项“Set a sadness time limit. (设定悲伤的时间限制)”是本段的标题。故选A项。 19.根据前文“For those who always get the Birthday Blues, it might be a good idea just to accept that they might feel sad and anxious. (对于那些总是患有生日忧郁的人来说,接受他们可能会感到悲伤和焦虑的事实可能是个好主意)”以及后文“Acknowledge them, and then put them to one side and get on with the day in a more positive frame of mind. (承认它们,然后把它们放在一边,以一种更积极的心态开始新的一天)”可知,此处是讲述,正面面对让他们可能会感到悲伤和焦虑的事实,试着去接受他们,所以C项“Allow those feelings to come into their mind. (让这些感觉进入他们的脑海)”符合此处主题。故选C项。 20.分析设空,位于段尾,是本段的总结句,根据前文“However much people hate or fear their birthday, they can make it better if they plan something for that day that cannot fail to bring them excitement. They may think about booking to see a show, getting a spa, or going out for dinner. (无论人们多么讨厌或害怕他们的生日,如果他们为那天计划一些能给他们带来兴奋的事情,他们可以让它变得更好。他们可能会考虑预约看一场演出,做个水疗,或者出去吃顿饭)”可知,本段主要讲述做一些让自己兴奋的事,所以G项“Whatever is likely to lift their spirits may help them feel better. (任何可能振奋他们精神的事情都可能帮助他们感觉更好)”符合本段主题,是对前文的总结。故选G项。

After college I wanted to make a difference in the world, so I joined the Peace Corps and became a volunteer teacher in Namibia, my country of assignment (任务). Honestly, my first choice wasn’t Africa, but I am extremely grateful that I was sent there.
Various tribes and racial groups live in Namibia and a number of languages are spoken. When Namibia gained independence in 1990, English became the official language. Teachers were supposed to teach in English, but many lacked the language skills to do so. My job was to train the teachers.
Schools were quite bare. Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof. Each student had only one threadbare uniform. The students had exhausting days. They walked miles to get to school, often barefoot. They also did many daily chores. Even with their mountains of work, few possessions and little opportunity, these children were joyful. I admired that.
This was my first time living abroad in a different culture. Simply adapting to the living conditions was a big adjustment. I had no electricity, running water, phone or Internet. Imagine no air conditioning where the temperature was often above 38 degrees Celsius! However, I could end each day with a splendid African sunset. And at night, I could have an incredible pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way (银河).
Before Namibia, I never thought a girl like me would adapt to such an environment. My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves, but also our amazing ability to adapt.
Step outside of your comfort zone and throw yourself in another culture. You won’t regret it.
4. What do we know about Namibia before 1990
A. Everyone could speak many languages. B. Teachers taught English as an official language.
C. It was ruled by other countries. D. Teachers had a good command of English.
5. What does the underlined word “threadbare” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Ancient. B. Uncomfortable. C. Ugly. D. Shabby.
6. Which of the following best describes the author according to Paragraph 4
A. Honest and fearless. B. Brave and clever.
C. Adaptable and optimistic. D. Generous and kind.
7. Why did the author feel grateful to volunteer in Namibia
A. She gained pure friendship from African children.
B. The beautiful scenery in Africa impressed her a lot.
C. She succeeded in challenging her limits.
D. Africans’ hard life touched her deeply.

Young and old alike can be crazy about a new finding by researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Chicago. There is hope for us all when it comes to creativity, they say.
According to the study, which focused on the 31 most notable Nobel Prize winners in economics, there are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. Conceptual innovators tend to do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties.
They explain in the paper that there are conceptual thinkers, who seek to communicate specific ideas or emotions and have precise goals for their works, planning them carefully in advance, and carrying them out systematically. Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein both did their greatest work in youth. However, experimental innovators build on their knowledge and accept theories throughout their careers and ultimately find new and innovative ways to analyze that knowledge. These thinkers tend to do their best work later in life. The paper cites Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin as late bloomers.
The study states, “Many scholars believe that creativity is only associated with youth. Two 54-year-old Harvard scholars were denied offers of tenured professorships (终身教授) due to concerns of the so-called problem of “extinct volcanoes.”
Their findings suggest that this kind of biased (有偏见的) thinking leads to bad decisions. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and that different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions. They hope their work will gradually remove the world’s favoritism for precocious geniuses(早熟的天才) and its ignorance of the creativity that comes with age. Weinberg, the co-author of the study, said,“We believe what we found in this study isn’t limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally.”
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined “blossom”
A. Fully develop. B. Suddenly change.
C. Gradually fade. D. Repeatedly emerge.
9. What determines a person’s most creative period according to the study
A. Age or career. B. Education background.
C. Type of thinking. D. Exposure to diverse ideas.
10. What does the writer want to stress in the last paragraph
A. Creativity breeds success.
B. Creativity knows no age limit.
C. Solutions need diverse creativity.
D. Favoritism for geniuses limits creativity.
11. What’s the writer’s attitude to the new findings
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Critical.

Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider.
Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.
To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to relieve their stress. Those managing stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked them to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the subsequent experiment, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video, they also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos.
The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance every day.
12.What is the author’s belief in meaningful life
A.Owning the coherence of life.
B.Setting a long-term career goal.
C.Valuing what matters just to us.
D.Enjoying present beauty of life.
13.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The approach to conducting the studies.
B.The analysis of the specific objectives.
C.The necessity of a long-term goal in life.
D.The logic behind experiential appreciation.
14.What challenges us to feel more meaningful life according to the text
A.Our fast-paced modern lifestyle.
B.The lack of employment chances.
C.Our focus on individual feelings.
D.The ignorance of future outcomes.
15.What can be the best title of the passage
A.Appreciating the past.
B.Living in the moment.
C.Finding yourself back.
D.Embracing the future.

C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者到非洲做志愿者的工作经历以及感悟。 4. 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“Namibia gained independence in 1990”可知,纳米比亚在1990年获得独立,所以在1990年以前纳米比亚是被其他国家统治的,故选C。 5. 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“often barefoot”以及“few possessions”可知,孩子们的生活非常艰苦,而且由画线词前面的“only one”可知,他们每人仅有一件校服,所以“threadbare”应表示“破旧的”,故只有D项“shabby”符合语境,故选D。 6 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Simply adapting to the living conditions was a big adjustment. ”(仅仅是适应生活条件就需要很大的调整)可知作者适应了当地的生活环境,体现出其适应能力很强。根据“I had no electricity,running water,phone or Internet. Imagine no air conditioning where the temperature was often above 38 degrees Celsius! ”(没有电,没有自来水,没有电话,也没有互联网。想象一下,没有空调,那里的温度往往高于38摄氏度)可知纳米比亚的生活条件很艰苦,可是作者却能“end each day with a splendid African sunset”(在灿烂的非洲日落中结束每一天)以及“have an incredible pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way”(欣赏瑰丽的银河系),由此可知,作者是一个非常乐观的人,故选C。 7. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I am extremely grateful that I was sent there”(我很感激被派到那里)以及倒数第二段中的“My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves,but also our amazing ability to adapt.”(我的经历不仅让我意识到我们给自己设置的限制,也让我意识到我们惊人的适应能力)和最后一段内容可知,这段经历让作者意识到走出自己的舒适区并且在另一个环境中挑战自己的极限的重要意义,所以关于这段经历她心存感激。C项中的“challenging her limits”照应了文中的“awakened me to not only the limitations”,故选C。
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄亥俄州立大学和芝加哥大学的研究人员发现,创造力没有年龄限制,我们所有人都有希望有创造力。 8.词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Conceptual innovators tend to do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties.(概念创新者往往在25岁左右做最好的工作,而实验创新者则在50岁左右达到顶峰。)”和划线单词所在句子“there are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. (在一个人的一生中,有两种类型的创造力可以在不同的时刻blossom。)”可知,概念创新者往往在25岁左右做最好的工作,而实验创新者则在50岁左右达到顶峰,这说明具有这两种创造力的人在不同的时刻会做到最好,即得到充分发展,所以画线单词“blossom”与A项“充分发展”意思一样,故选A。 9.推理判断题。根据第三段中“They explain in the paper that there are conceptual thinkers, who seek to communicate specific ideas or emotions and have precise goals for their works, planning them carefully in advance, and carrying them out systematically. Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein both did their greatest work in youth. ( 他们在论文中解释说,有一些概念思想家,他们试图传达具体的想法或情感,并为他们的工作有明确的目标,事先仔细计划,并系统地执行它们。巴勃罗·毕加索和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦都在青年时期完成了他们最伟大的作品。)”可推知,根据这项研究,一个人最具创造力的时期是由思考方式来决定的,故选C。 10.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They hope their work will gradually remove the world’s favoritism for precocious geniuses(早熟的天才) and its ignorance of the creativity that comes with age.(他们希望他们的工作将逐渐消除世界对早熟天才的偏爱以及对随着年龄增长而产生的创造力的无知。)”可知,作者想在最后一段强调创造力没有年龄限制。故选B。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Their findings suggest that this kind of biased (有偏见的) thinking leads to bad decisions. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and that different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions.(他们的发现表明,这种有偏见的想法会导致错误的决定。它忽略了这样一个事实,即有不同类型的创新者,不同的问题需要不同类型的贡献和解决方案。)”可知,作者认为这项新的研究既有有点也有缺点,由此可推知,作者对该项新研究的观点是客观的,故选B。
【答案】12.D 13.D 14.A 15.B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讲的是体验性欣赏的好处以及我们要活在当下,欣赏生活中的美。 12.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider.(许多学者认为,一个有意义的存在归结为三个因素:一个人的生命的连贯性,拥有明确的长期目标,相信自己的生命是重要的。但我们认为还有另一个因素需要考虑。)”,第二段的“We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.(我们称这种元素为体验性欣赏,一种在事件发生时发现和欣赏生活内在美的能力。)”和最后一段的“Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance every day.(然而,生活就发生在当下。我们应该慢下来,让生活给我们惊喜,拥抱每一天的意义。)”可知,作者对有意义的生活的信念是享受当下的生活之美。故选D。 13.主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the subsequent experiment, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video, they also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos.(我们的研究结果显示,越多的人表示他们“欣赏生活”,他们就越觉得自己的存在有价值。在随后的实验中,我们通过要求参与者观看令人敬畏的视频进一步探索了这一现象,他们也报告说,与那些观看更中性视频的人相比,他们在这些时刻有更大的体验感激感和生活意义。)”可知,第三段的主要内容是体验式欣赏背后的逻辑。故选D。 14.细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now.(我们现代、快节奏、以项目为导向的生活方式让每一天都充满了目标。我们忙得不可开交,试图使我们的产出最大化。这使得我们很容易忽略正在发生的事情。)”可知,我们快节奏的现代生活方式使感受更有意义的生活有了挑战。故选A。 15.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段的“We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.(我们称这种元素为体验性欣赏,一种在事件发生时发现和欣赏生活内在美的能力。)”和最后一段的“Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance every day.(然而,生活就发生在当下。我们应该慢下来,让生活给我们惊喜,拥抱每一天的意义。)”可知,本文主要讲的是体验性欣赏的好处以及我们要活在当下,欣赏生活中的美,因此最好的题目是B选项“Living in the moment.(活在当下。)”。故选B。
【答案】16.G 17.E 18.A 19.C 20.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种可以随时随地听英语的方法。 16.空前“So how can you hear a lot of English when you’re not in an English-speaking country or family (那么当你不在一个讲英语的国家或家庭时,你怎么能听到很多英语呢?)”是特殊疑问句,提问如何听到很多英语,G选项“Fortunately, there are many ways of hearing English in almost all countries (幸运的是,几乎所有国家都有很多听英语的方法)”是对该问题的回答,承接上文。故选G。 17.空前“Two major international networks are the BBC World Service and Voice of America. (两个主要的国际广播是BBC和VOA)”提及到了两个主要的国际广播,选项E“Both of them have special programmes for learners of English (这两个广播都有专门为英语学习者设置的节目)”中的Both of them呼应上文的BBC和VOA,承接上文。故选E。 18.该空位于小标题的位置,根据其他段落的小标题可知,为祈使句。根据第三段内容“It is now a lot easier to hear English by Internet, If you’re reading this on your computer or mobile device, you can probably listen to some English-language radio news right now, without even moving! (现在通过互联网听英语要容易得多,如果你正在电脑前阅读此文,那么你可以不挪窝就立刻听到英语广播新闻!)”可知,本段着重强调通过互联网的方式听英语,所以A选项“Watch/Listen to English by Internet (通过互联网看或听英语)”符合本段标题。故选A。 19.后文“That means it should be reasonably slow, and with real words sung clearly. (这意味着它应该相当缓慢,并用清晰的歌词演唱)”提到歌词速度要缓慢且歌词要清晰,关键词“That means”表明空后句子是对该空的具体解释。C选项“You should choose one that is not too difficult (你应该选择首不太难的)”整体先建议选择一首不太难的歌曲,后文开始进一步描述,选项中not too difficult呼应后文的reasonably slow和real words sung clearly。故选C。 20.由本段小标题“Get English-speaking friends(结交说英语的朋友)”可知,本段主要描述交几个说英语的朋友。D选项“If you don’t have a lot of time to go out and meet people (如果你没有太多时间出去见别人)”中的“people”呼应本段标题,且与后文“at least you can chat a little by telephone. (至少也能通过电话进行点交流)”构成条件关系,如果没有时间去见面,可以进行电话交流。故选D。

Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”
4.Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1
A.To suggest the girl’s age.
B.To imply a serious illness.
C.To show the shortage of toys.
D.To highlight the value of the wig.
5.What can be learned from the father’s words
A.Hair style matters much.
B.Sports benefit Mustafa.
C.Hair loss depressed Mustafa.
D.Mustafa’s treatment failed.
6.What led to Salam’s decision on the mission
A.His sympathy.
B.Family support.
C.Govemment fund.
D.Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
7.What kind of person is Salam according to the passage
A.Cautious and creative. B.Inspiring and talented.
C.Caring and determined. D.Ambitious and patient.

In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the ”Ice Ribbon“, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the differences. ”It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,“ told Kenneth Golden, a U. S. mathematician who studies the structures of ice. ”It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.“
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形的)structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important, As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 , is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2, doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
”We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way.“ told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
8.What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A.The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B.The quality of the ice will be affected.
C.The ice surface will be more consistent.
D.It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
9.Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A.It’s the most advanced technology for ice-making.
B.CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C.CO2 is more environmentally friendly than Freon.
D.CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
10.What is Gao Bo’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A.Unclear. B.Opposed. C.Doubtful. D.Favorable.
11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Are Coming
B.Beneath Olympic Ice
C.The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games
D.The Structure of Ice

We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts. It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight.
In a sense, all this is not surprising. Our lives are affected by science and technology as never before. The world seems full of real and imaginary dangers. Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.
In this often confusing world, we need to rely on science to decide whether what we choose to believe has a basis in the laws of nature or not. But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Science has often led us to truths that are really mind-blowing. For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.
Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.
How can scientists convince doubters Throwing more facts at people may not be enough. More efforts are supposed to be made.
12.What’s the text mainly about
A.How people view the world. B.What challenges science faces.
C.Whether science is worth respect. D.Why people show disbelief in science.
13.What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” probably mean
A.Unbelievable. B.Desirable. C.Dangerous. D.Obvious.
14.How do “people” in paragraph 4 understand the world
A.They apply logical thinking.
B.They stick to their own beliefs.
C.They form the views on assumptions.
D.They rely on the information on the Internet.
15.How does the author prove his opinions
A.Through comparison. B.Through quotation.
C.By giving examples. D.By making definitions.

If you had to choose between spending all your pocket money on games and snacks, or saving some of it for the future, which would you choose 16 When you have the opportunity to treat yourself to your favourite things, it can be really hard to say no. Before you know it, all your money is gone!
It’s easy to see the fun in buying an ice-cream or going shopping with friends. 17 That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to adventures. Suddenly it doesn’t seem quite so boring when you realise saving money is the key to making your dreams come true.
18 It’s good to give yourself a mix of short-term and long-term goals, so think of something you’d like to buy that you could save up for in a few weeks. Write down how much it costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every single penny.
It helps to keep your savings separate from the rest of your money, so that you don’t accidentally spend it. 19 Most people choose to save their money in a savings account, as this gives them an opportunity to earn interest. Some savings accounts allow you to withdraw money whenever you like, but some will keep your money locked away for several years or until you become an adult.
If you’re new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals. Every penny you save takes you one step closer to reaching your goal. 20
A.What could be more exciting than that
B.You could use a money box or a savings account.
C.Or, do you prefer to spend it on your favourite novels
D.The key to successful saving is setting yourself a goal.
E.With a savings account, you can spend your money freely.
F.Think about this as we all have to make such decisions again and again.
G.However, you might be surprised to hear that saving money can be even more exciting.
