blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Going Hungry in the Land of the Rich
The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans struggle just to put healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day. One might think that a food shortage 21 (happen) in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone, 40% of 22 is unfortunately, wasted every day. There are many different ways food 23 (waste): farmers only pick the best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more than
they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.
Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called “food deserts.” They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they 24 afford are often unhealthy ones. Healthy foods 25 fresh fruits and vegetables maybe impossible to find. Sadly, 12.8% of the
American population live in food deserts.
What can we do to help 26 who don’t have enough food Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got involved. 27 helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a huge amount of food being
wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough 28 (eat).
The girls set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates, 29 (hope) to do something to help. They created an app which could be used by residents to find out 30 fresh food was available. Then they contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than
15,000 pounds of food to people in need.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note
that there is one word more than you need.
A. objected B. choices C. inequality D. combination E. paid F. respond G. personality H. fade I. reduce J. inherited K. environmental
What makes us happy
You probably know the type of personality in some people: they seem to be hopeful in almost everything. Are
they simply born happy Is it the product of their environment Or does it come from their life decisions
If you are familiar with genetics research, you will have guessed that it is a 31 of all three. A 2018
study of 1516 Norwegian twins suggests that around 30% of the differences in people’s life satisfaction is
32 . Much of this seems to be related to personality traits.
To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%, so 33 factors clearly play a role in our happiness. These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job opportunities and income. It seems that the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richer than those around
us, which may explain why the level of 34 predicts happiness better than GDP.
Interestingly, many important life 35 have only a little influence on our happiness. Consider marriage. A 2019 study found that, on average, life satisfaction does rise after the wedding, but the feeling of happiness tends to
36 over middle age.
Parenthood is even more complex. For decades, social scientists have found that people with children at home
are significantly less happy than those without. More recent research, however, suggests that there are important
regional differences.
Analyses show that these differences can be almost completely explained by variations in 37
parental leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave, which together 38 the
potential for work-family conflict. The effects of these policies may play out across generations. In addition to the legacy of their genes, parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape
the 39 of their children.
Our life satisfaction, then, is shaped by our genes, health, economic prospects, relationships and the culture
around us. While many of these things may be beyond your control, there is now good evidence that certain
psychological strategies will help you to 40 to your circumstances in the happiest way possible.
III.Reading Comprehension (共 45 分。 41-45 每题 1 分;56-70 每题 2 分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Mathematics has an image problem: far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just isn’t
for them. But one of the biggest problems is how maths is 41 , as cold and dry.
I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice. I have taught fairly maths-phobic ( 恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes 42 . They now
believe maths is 43 them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is founded on logic, so when I am teaching logic, I use examples from 44 events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem. Instead of studying the logic of a statement like “all dogs have
four legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal” .
But I do this with specific mathematical structures too. 45 , I teach a type of structure called an
,
ordered set, which is subject to an order relation such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functions are “order-preserving”. A typical example might be the function that takes a(n) 46 number and maps it to the number obtained from multiplying by 2. We would then say that if x < y then also 2x < 2y, so the function is
order-preserving.
47 , rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example, I introduce issues like privilege and wealth. If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status, we can make a function to another set where the
people are now ordered by 48 instead. If someone has a higher status, are they automatically wealthier We
can also ask about working hours and 49 : if someone works more hours, do they 50 earn more
The answer there is clearly not.
My approach is controversial because, traditionally, maths is supposed to be 51 and apolitical (与政治 无关的). I have been 52 by people who think my approach will be off-putting (令人烦恼的) to those who don’t care about social justice. However, the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care. In fact,I believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues. Abstract maths is about making thorough logical arguments, which is linked to everything. I don’t 53 that students agree with me about politics, but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to backup their thoughts and develop the crucial ability to analyze the logic of
people they 54 .
Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations (方程式); it is about studying different 55 systems. We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills, but we can also apply it to pressing social issues. I think we should do
both, for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths education.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other
looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for
freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.
I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and art
centres—where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a
community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the
Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home” .
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often
drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring the smooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy taking care
of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste-ground into a wild garden, replacing
weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-carbon
simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright infrastructure of
urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in making a cup of
coffee on a spring morning.
My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits include
taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
56. Why did the writer make the van his home
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
57. What does “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. a used van B. a gas cooker C. a wild garden D. a mobile toilet
58. Which of the following is the benefit of unconventional housing
A. Joining joggers to do exercise. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Improving the economy of Oxford. D. Embracing delightful surprises.
59. What’s the writer’s attitude towards living in the van
A. Cautious. B. Ironical. C. Favorable. D. Neutral.
(B)
What’s UP Here, let’s take a look at some excellent book reviews for this month.

(C)
The United Nations Food Systems Summit(峰会)held last September was overshadowed by a powerful
counter-moblilization effort led by farmers and scientists and small-scale food producers across the world.
Opposition to the summit had been mounting since July, when hundreds of grassroots organizations challenged the organizers for framing the problem of food systems in narrow, technocratic ways and offering “false solutions”
such as biotechnological interventions(干预)instead of promoting more sustainable, just and people-first ways of
farming. Also in July the Philippines approved commercial cultivation of Bt eggplant, a genetically modified (GM)
food that produces a protein that kills eggplant fruit and “Golden Rice” changed to produce beta-carotene, the
forerunner of vitamin A. The Philippines thus became the first country in South and Southeast Asia of approve GM
rice.
Advocates of GM crops praised the Philippines’ move as a victory of science. Since the U. N.’s food summit
was announced two years ago, different groups have steadily reduced applications of science to global problems to a
limited set of investor-oriented innovations. Within this orbit, agricultural biotechnology and digitalization are
boasted as vital to achieving the U. N.’s sustainable development goals. As governments now debate the way forward
from the summit, it is critical to recognize that a narrow focus on technology to address the complex structural
problems of farming and food has an astonishingly poor track record.
At its base, GM crops are rooted in a colonial-capitalist model of agriculture based on theft of local land and on
exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor, native knowledge and the web of lift itself. Today this agricultural
model is responsible not only for increasing farm debt, depleted soils, and threats to native seeds and biodiversity but also the destruction of farmers’ knowledge and skills. For the world to achieve sustainability, this colonial model of
agriculture must be dismissed, and promising agroecological approaches based on working with biodiversity and
farmers’ knowledge and skills should be brought to center stage.
Most GM crops are engineered with resistance to herbicides(除草剂)and insects, which has not only contributed
to the emergence of “super-weeds” and increasing pesticide use but has driven the global growth of seed and
chemical industries. These kinds of crops have principally benefited large-scale farmers, grain traders and
multinational corporations involved in selling seeds and pesticides.
Multinational agribusinesses have understood Golden Rice and Bt eggplant as pro-poor technologies to win over
smallholder farmers and consumers in the Global South. The International Rice Research Institute has led Golden
Rice’s development with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with Syngenta (which
owns rights to the rice) to address vitamin A deficiency (VAD) among the poor, especially children and pregnant
women.
63. The recent Food Systems Summit was greeted with distrust because the organizers .
A. didn’t take the interests of people concerned into account
B. didn’t attach importance to the blossoming of agriculture
C. failed to come up with the effective initiatives with joint efforts
D. employed the inappropriate approaches to farming
64. What is the purpose of mentioning the Philippines’ case
A. To prove the victory for the supporters of GM food.
B. To illustrate the Philippines’ opposition to the summit.
C. To argue it is a waste of money in the GM food.
D. To introduce how many nutrients GM food may contain.
65. is advocated for the development of agriculture in the long run.
A. Exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor
B. Developing crops resistant to insects
C. Removing the colonial-capitalist model
D. Establishing partnership to address VAD
66. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The Philippines is a country with cutting-edge technologies.
B. The application of GM food will solve the problem of environment.
C. Governments have initiated into the complex structural farming problems.
D. The booming pesticide industry is credited to the cultivation of GM food.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used
once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. There’ll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. B. The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age. C. Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. D. You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time. E. The answer lies in connecting with your past and future selves. F. But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way” .
How to Travel in Time
The term “NOSTALGIA”(怀旧)used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations(幻觉)and depression. 67 And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture
moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.
As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. 68 Because memory skills can take you
into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.
In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. Here are my tips for becoming a confident
time traveller yourself:
*To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’sparticularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep
using it! 69
* When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualise an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay
finished, and use that positive image to spur you into action.
* Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great
job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
70 But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and
shaping your future, to be your best self now.
IV.Summary Writing (共 10 分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Benefits of Green Spaces
We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including
gardens, urban parks and forests.
But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively impact your mental health as an adult A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed 3,600 people from all over
Europe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood — for example, playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrote that the results “show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the implications of growing up in
environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature” .
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. So we call
on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make
time to expose yourself to nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.

M: Hello, Professor Smith, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My
tutor said you might be able to help me with it.
W: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. What sort of competition is it
M: Well, it’s an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic
kitchen appliance.
W: I see, and are there any special conditions Does it have to save energy for example
M: Actually, that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative
approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before.
W: I see. What kitchen appliance have you chosen
M: Well, I decided to choose the dishwasher.
W: Interesting, what made you choose that
M: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical to each other. I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks
different.
W: That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool’, why is that
M: Basically, because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look
down into it.
W: And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration
M: Actually, it does have a function. Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.
W: So, it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.
11. Why does John come to Professor Smith
12. What’s the focus of this year’s competition
13. Why has John chosen dishwashers
14. What’s the function of the stone at the bottom
Questions 15 through 17 are based on the following passage.
For a lot of people, summer is a time to enjoy the sun, have a vacation and relax. But if you need to study this summer, it’s very important to create a study schedule so you have enough time for your studies as well as time to
enjoy your break. Here are four tips for you.
First, get started with your schedule. The sooner you start, the sooner all your work is done and you’re free to
do whatever you want during the holidays.
Next, create a to-do list of everything that needs to get done. Write everything in order of their deadlines and
separate them by subject, so that you can see everything you need to cover in the study plan.
Then, plan it out. Make a schedule using a calendar or Excel. It could be daily, weekly or monthly depending on which way you prefer to plan. Include all the tasks you want to complete in that time period. Plan your time
using two kinds of time blocks: free time and fixed time. Free time is when you have other summer activities and
relax. Fixed time is when you need to do something which you’ve determined beforehand regardless of most
situations.
The last tip is to stick with it. Put your study plan where you can see it often. Each morning sees what you need to do and try to get it done. Reward yourself for completing the things you need to do and cross them off your
schedule.
15. According to the passage, how should a to-do list be arranged
16. What should you do in fixed time
17. Who is the passage intended for
Questions 18 through 20 are based on the following passage.
Most of us are actually terrible at giving gifts. Research has shown that givers are fascinated with the moment of unwrapping a gift even more than the gift itself. We want something from giving: looks of delight. This is why
items like hyper-specific kitchen appliances and fancy old-fashioned clocks all seem like fantastic gifts.
But it turns out receivers often want things that are far more practical—things they can actually use. In one study, researchers asked givers and receivers to rate gifts based on: desirability, like a fancy but complicated coffee maker, and practicability, like a coffee maker you can actually use without studying the instructions. They found
that givers reliably chose the desirable gifts. But receivers preferred practicability.
How can we design a gift-giving formula that is efficient and emotional as you want to be A good way is to tell people what you want. A 2011 study looked at Amazon wish lists to determine if people were more appreciative of gifts from the list versus gifts that were total surprises. It turned out when people got gifts that weren’t on their list, they actually saw them as less thoughtful and less personal. Surprise is overrated—we’re
happier to get what we ask for.
18. Why do gift givers prefer seemingly fantastic gifts
19. According to the passage, which of the following do receivers value most about gifts
20. How can we get a gift we desire

Going Hungry in the Land of the Rich
The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans struggle just to put healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day. One might think that a food shortage 21 (happen) in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone, 40% of 22 is unfortunately, wasted every day. There are many different ways food 23 (waste): farmers only pick the best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more than
they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.
Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called “food deserts.” They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they 24 afford are often unhealthy ones. Healthy foods 25 fresh fruits and vegetables maybe impossible to find. Sadly, 12.8% of the
American population live in food deserts.
What can we do to help 26 who don’t have enough food Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got involved. 27 helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a huge amount of food being
wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough 28 (eat).
The girls set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates, 29 (hope) to do something to help. They created an app which could be used by residents to find out 30 fresh food was available. Then they contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than
15,000 pounds of food to people in need.
【答案】21. is happening 22. which 23. is wasted 24. can 25. such as 26. those 27.
While/When 28. to eat 29. hoping 30. whether/if/what/where

What makes us happy
You probably know the type of personality in some people: they seem to be hopeful in almost everything. Are
they simply born happy Is it the product of their environment Or does it come from their life decisions
If you are familiar with genetics research, you will have guessed that it is a 31 of all three. A 2018
study of 1516 Norwegian twins suggests that around 30% of the differences in people’s life satisfaction is
32 . Much of this seems to be related to personality traits.
To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%, so 33 factors clearly play a role in our happiness. These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job opportunities and income. It seems that the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richer than those around
us, which may explain why the level of 34 predicts happiness better than GDP.
Interestingly, many important life 35 have only a little influence on our happiness. Consider marriage. A 2019 study found that, on average, life satisfaction does rise after the wedding, but the feeling of happiness tends to
36 over middle age.
Parenthood is even more complex. For decades, social scientists have found that people with children at home
are significantly less happy than those without. More recent research, however, suggests that there are important
regional differences.
Analyses show that these differences can be almost completely explained by variations in 37
parental leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave, which together 38 the
potential for work-family conflict. The effects of these policies may play out across generations. In addition to the legacy of their genes, parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape
the 39 of their children.
Our life satisfaction, then, is shaped by our genes, health, economic prospects, relationships and the culture
around us. While many of these things may be beyond your control, there is now good evidence that certain
psychological strategies will help you to 40 to your circumstances in the happiest way possible.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。人类的幸福感受到基因、环境和人生决定的共同影响,其中的影响比例又各有
不同,文章对此进行了介绍。
31.考查名词。句意:如果你熟悉遗传学研究,你会猜到这是三者的结合。根据前文“Are they simply born happy
Is it the product of their environment Or does it come from their life decisions (他们只是天生幸福吗?是环境
的产物吗?还是来自他们的人生决定? ) ”可知,此处是指这是三者的结合,所以应用名词 combination 表示
“组合 ”。故选 D。
32.考查过去分词。句意: 2018 年对 1516 对挪威双胞胎进行的一项研究表明,人们生活满意度的差异中约 有 30%是遗传的。根据后文“To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%(在此背景 下, 智商的遗传性被认为在 80%左右) ”可知, 此处是指人们生活满意度的差异中约有 30%是遗传的, 所以
应用过去分词 inherited 表示“遗传的 ”。故选 J。
33.考查形容词。句意:在此背景下,智商的遗传率被认为在 80%左右,所以环境因素显然在我们的幸福中
起着作用。根据后文“These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job
opportunities and income.(这些因素包括我们的身体健康、社交网络的规模和强度、工作机会和收入。 ) ”可
知,此处是指环境因素。所以应用形容词 environmental 表示“环境的 ”。故选 K。
34.考查名词。句意:我们薪水的绝对值似乎不如我们是否觉得自己比周围的人更富有重要,这或许可以解 释为什么不平等程度比 GDP 更能预测幸福。根据“the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richer than those around us ”可知,此处是指不平等程度比 GDP 更能预测幸福,所以应用名词 inequality
表示“不平等 ”。故选 C。
35.考查名词。句意:有趣的是,许多重要的生活选择对我们的幸福只有很小的影响。根据后文“Consider marriage.(看看婚姻。) ”可知, 此处是指许多重要的生活选择。所以应用名词 choices 表示“选择 ”。故选 B。 36.考查动词。句意: 2019 年的一项研究发现, 平均而言, 结婚后生活满意度确实会上升, 但幸福感往往会 在中年后消退。根据转折词 but 可知,此处是指幸福感往往会在中年后消退,所以应用动词 fade 表示“消
退 ”。故选 H。
37.考查形容词。句意:分析表明,这些差异几乎完全可以用带薪育儿假、灵活的工作时间、负担得起的儿 童保育和假期等方面的差异来解释,这些因素共同减少了工作与家庭冲突的可能性。根据“parental leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave ”可知,此处是指带薪育儿假,所以应用形容词
paid 表示“有报酬的,领取薪金的 ”。故选 E。
38.考查动词。句意:分析表明,这些差异几乎完全可以用带薪育儿假、灵活的工作时间、负担得起的儿童
保育和假期等方面的差异来解释,这些因素共同减少了工作与家庭冲突的可能性。根据“paid parental
leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave ”可知, 此处是指这些因素共同减少了工作
与家庭冲突的可能性,所以应用动词 reduce 表示“减少 ”。故选 I。
39.考查名词。句意:除了遗传基因外,父母自身的情感健康也会影响家庭活力,而家庭活力反过来又会塑
造孩子的个性。根据“parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape ”
可知,此处是指家庭活力反过来又会塑造孩子的个性,所以应用名词 personality 表示“个性 ”。故选 G。
40.考查动词。句意:虽然其中许多事情可能是你无法控制的,但现在有充分的证据表明,某些心理策略可 以帮助你以尽可能快乐的方式应对你的环境。根据“to your circumstances in the happiest way possible ”可知,
此处是指以尽可能快乐的方式应对你的环境,所以应用动词 respond 表示“应对 ”。故选 F。
III.Reading Comprehension (共 45 分。 41-45 每题 1 分;56-70 每题 2 分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Mathematics has an image problem: far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just isn’t
for them. But one of the biggest problems is how maths is 41 , as cold and dry.
I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice. I have taught fairly maths-phobic ( 恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes 42 . They now
believe maths is 43 them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is founded on logic, so when I am teaching logic, I use examples from 44 events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem. Instead of studying the logic of a statement like “all dogs have
four legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal” .
But I do this with specific mathematical structures too. 45 , I teach a type of structure called an
,
ordered set, which is subject to an order relation such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functions are “order-preserving”. A typical example might be the function that takes a(n) 46 number and maps it to the number obtained from multiplying by 2. We would then say that if x < y then also 2x < 2y, so the function is
order-preserving.
47 , rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example, I introduce issues like privilege and wealth. If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status, we can make a function to another set where the people are now ordered by 48 instead. If someone has a higher status, are they automatically wealthier We can also ask about working hours and 49 : if someone works more hours, do they 50 earn more
The answer there is clearly not.
My approach is controversial because, traditionally, maths is supposed to be 51 and apolitical (与政治 无关的). I have been 52 by people who think my approach will be off-putting (令人烦恼的) to those who don’t care about social justice. However, the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care. In fact,I believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues. Abstract maths is about making thorough logical arguments, which is linked to everything. I don’t 53 that students agree with me about politics, but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to backup their thoughts and develop the crucial ability to analyze the logic of
people they 54 .
Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations (方程式); it is about studying different 55 systems. We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills, but we can also apply it to pressing social issues. I think we should do
both, for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths education.

(A)
I write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other
looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for
freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.
I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and art
centres—where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a
community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the
Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home” .
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often
drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring the smooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy taking care
of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste-ground into a wild garden, replacing
weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-carbon
simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright infrastructure of
urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in making a cup of
coffee on a spring morning.
My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits include
taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
56. Why did the writer make the van his home
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
57. What does “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. a used van B. a gas cooker C. a wild garden D. a mobile toilet
58. Which of the following is the benefit of unconventional housing
A. Joining joggers to do exercise. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Improving the economy of Oxford. D. Embracing delightful surprises.
59. What’s the writer’s attitude towards living in the van
A. Cautious. B. Ironical. C. Favorable. D. Neutral.

The United Nations Food Systems Summit(峰会)held last September was overshadowed by a powerful
counter-moblilization effort led by farmers and scientists and small-scale food producers across the world.
Opposition to the summit had been mounting since July, when hundreds of grassroots organizations challenged
the organizers for framing the problem of food systems in narrow, technocratic ways and offering “false solutions”
such as biotechnological interventions(干预)instead of promoting more sustainable, just and people-first ways of farming. Also in July the Philippines approved commercial cultivation of Bt eggplant, a genetically modified (GM)
food that produces a protein that kills eggplant fruit and “Golden Rice” changed to produce beta-carotene, the
forerunner of vitamin A. The Philippines thus became the first country in South and Southeast Asia of approve GM
rice.
Advocates of GM crops praised the Philippines’ move as a victory of science. Since the U. N.’s food summit
was announced two years ago, different groups have steadily reduced applications of science to global problems to a
limited set of investor-oriented innovations. Within this orbit, agricultural biotechnology and digitalization are
boasted as vital to achieving the U. N.’s sustainable development goals. As governments now debate the way forward
from the summit, it is critical to recognize that a narrow focus on technology to address the complex structural
problems of farming and food has an astonishingly poor track record.
At its base, GM crops are rooted in a colonial-capitalist model of agriculture based on theft of local land and on
exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor, native knowledge and the web of lift itself. Today this agricultural
model is responsible not only for increasing farm debt, depleted soils, and threats to native seeds and biodiversity but also the destruction of farmers’ knowledge and skills. For the world to achieve sustainability, this colonial model of
agriculture must be dismissed, and promising agroecological approaches based on working with biodiversity and
farmers’ knowledge and skills should be brought to center stage.
Most GM crops are engineered with resistance to herbicides(除草剂)and insects, which has not only contributed
to the emergence of “super-weeds” and increasing pesticide use but has driven the global growth of seed and
chemical industries. These kinds of crops have principally benefited large-scale farmers, grain traders and
multinational corporations involved in selling seeds and pesticides.
Multinational agribusinesses have understood Golden Rice and Bt eggplant as pro-poor technologies to win over
smallholder farmers and consumers in the Global South. The International Rice Research Institute has led Golden
Rice’s development with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with Syngenta (which
owns rights to the rice) to address vitamin A deficiency (VAD) among the poor, especially children and pregnant
women.
63. The recent Food Systems Summit was greeted with distrust because the organizers .
A. didn’t take the interests of people concerned into account
B. didn’t attach importance to the blossoming of agriculture
C. failed to come up with the effective initiatives with joint efforts
D. employed the inappropriate approaches to farming
64. What is the purpose of mentioning the Philippines’ case
A. To prove the victory for the supporters of GM food.
B. To illustrate the Philippines’ opposition to the summit.
C. To argue it is a waste of money in the GM food.
D. To introduce how many nutrients GM food may contain.
65. is advocated for the development of agriculture in the long run.
A. Exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor
B. Developing crops resistant to insects
C. Removing the colonial-capitalist model
D. Establishing partnership to address VAD
66. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The Philippines is a country with cutting-edge technologies.
B. The application of GM food will solve the problem of environment.
C. Governments have initiated into the complex structural farming problems.
D. The booming pesticide industry is credited to the cultivation of GM food.

Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.(上海杨浦区 2023 学年度第一学期高三模拟质量
调研)
A. There’ll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. B. The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age. C. Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. D. You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time. E. The answer lies in connecting with your past and future selves. F. But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way” .
How to Travel in Time
The term “NOSTALGIA”(怀旧)used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations(幻觉)and depression. 67 And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture
moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.
As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. 68 Because memory skills can take you
into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.
In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their
mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. Here are my tips for becoming a confident
time traveller yourself:
*To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’sparticularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep
using it! 69
* When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualise an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay
finished, and use that positive image to spur you into action.
* Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great
job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
70 But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and
shaping your future, to be your best self now.
【答案】67. C 68. F 69. D 70. A

Benefits of Green Spaces
We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including
gardens, urban parks and forests.
But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively impact your mental health as an adult A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed 3,600 people from all over
Europe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood — for example, playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher
importance to using green spaces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrote that the results “show the importance of
childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the implications of growing up in
environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature” .
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. So we call
on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make
time to expose yourself to nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
【答案】One possible version:
Researches show exposure to nature during childhood has a positive impact on mental health in adulthood. Those using natural spaces more frequently and attaching greater importance to using them score higher in psychological tests including problem-solving abilities and negative feelings’ analysis. Therefore, availability of
natural spaces should be improved by governments and being exposed to nature should be highlighted.
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,研究表明,童年时期接触大自然对成年后的心理健康有积极影 响。那些更频繁地使用自然空间并更重视使用自然空间的人在心理测试中得分更高,包括解决问题的能力
和消极情绪的分析。因此,政府应该改善自然空间的可用性,并强调与自然接触。

Dear Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to introduce a unique and fragrant activity happening at my school,
the “Flowers and Fragrance into School” activity.
As part of this activity, our school has opened up a gardening optional course that teaches us about the habits and
characteristics of different flowers. The course aims to enhance our understanding and appreciation of flowers.
Additionally, we are encouraged to participate in hands-on activities by using our creativity to decorate our school
campus with flowers, creating a beautiful and fragrant environment for our learning and living.
Personally, this activity has had a profound impact on me. Not only have I learned a lot about flowers and
gardening, but also, the activity has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and the appreciation of
nature’s beauty.
I hope this activity can also be implemented in your school to enhance the learning and living environment.
Best regards,
Li Hua
