This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can’t stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. “Pull yourself together!” I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and John Owen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realize.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I’m glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
4. What is the probable meaning of the underlined phrase “Pull yourself together” in Paragraph 2
A. Take up B. Make up C. Cheer up D. show up
5. What can we infer about Matthew from the text
A. He is on good terms with his family. B. He has a preference for sleeping early.
C. He doesn’t cherish his father’s love for him. D. He is prepared for the new life.
6. How does the writer feel about his son’s leaving for college
A. Relieved B. Pleased C. Heartbroken D. Bittersweet
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Unforgettable Memories B. Unavoidable Goodbye
C. Unconditional Love D. Glorious Moment
C
Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World—Katherine Hayhoe’s new book, proposes to fight climate change through better communication. It is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, when she declared the most important thing any individual can do to fight climate change is to talk about it.
Of many refreshing aspects of this book, one is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat. Hayhoe pays special attention to Dismissives early on, noting that their aggressive posture online may create the impression that they’re everywhere. However, she argues, Dismissives account for only 7% of all American adults. The other 93% are more receptive by degree.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣). It is also packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the crowds who are the most suspicious. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for point s of common ground.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. Inspired by her TED talk, he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12,000 conversations that had taken place, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
8. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Explaining critical talking through literature.
B. Teaching communication skills with TED talks.
C. Sharpening people’s insight into climate change.
D. Sharing communication-centered tips for climate problems.
9. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Serious and challenging. B. Well-based and workable.
C. Approachable but one-sided. D. Practical but unacknowledged.
10. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”
A. By upgrading their social position.
B. By seeking shared interests or hobbies.
C. By changing their fundamental beliefs.
D. By offering more facts about climate change.
11. What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5
A Turning to clean energy is inevitable.
B. We should raise people’s awareness of the climate crisis.
C. Conversations have an impact on climate decision-making.
D. A shy man began to speak to everybody motivated by Hayhoe.
D
Out in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 60 miles off the northwest coast of Africa, lie the Canary Islands. In the 1950s, the boom in package tourism showed promise as a new cash crop. But while the Canary Islands had the sunshine, warm climate and ease of access from Europe needed for this new industry, they were missing a vital element picture postcard sandy beaches.
So the developers on Tenerife in the Canary Islands constructed a breakwater (防波堤) over half a mile long. And then, from the Western Sahara on Africa’s northwest coast, they shipped in 270, 000 tons of sand. By 1973, the project was complete. As anticipated, tourists arrived. Along the engineered beach, rows and rows of tourists relax on beach chairs under umbrellas or walk across soft sand to cool down in the water.
Unanticipated was what their presence gave to one of the world’s most endangered fish species, angel sharks — visibility. The gentle wind creates tiny waves on the water’s surface, a magical cover for what lies beneath — an angel shark nursery. Female angel sharks regularly migrate to these ideally sheltered waters to give birth to pups (幼崽), who remain in the shallows for about a year. Feeding on small fishes, they grow to around the same length as a newborn human baby.
Surveys have shown that other beaches in the Canary Islands are also potential nursery sites. Interestingly, most of them have been remade to make them more attractive to people. Playa Chica has another long sweep of imported sand. It’s an attraction for divers as well as angel sharks, so the number of sightings of mature angel sharks of this shoreline is one of highest in the islands.
Normally, massive, environmentally disruptive projects are bad for wildlife. But what’s clear is that after the breakwater was built and the sand arrived, people followed, and in the calm, shallow waters they began to see baby angel sharks. And unlike how many an association between humans and wildlife ends-in conflict and dead animals, this time it led to conservation.
12. Why did the developers on Tenerife carry out the project
A. To build a base for shipping. B. To boost the local tourism industry.
C. To fight against the rising sea. D. To protect the island’s eco-system.
13. What was an unexpected result of the project
A. It caused the disappearance of some fishes.
B. It made a magical tourist attraction.
C. It gave angel sharks a home.
D. It created conflicts between sharks and tourists.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the engineered beach
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Intolerant.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To highlight the financial benefits of tourism.
B. To introduce potential human-wildlife coexistence.
C. To explain the situation of endangered species.
D. To emphasize the importance of wildlife conservation.

I moved from America to Italy 14 years ago and I have learned a lot along the way. Here are several money-saving tricks I have picked up from living in Italy — most of which can apply to wherever you live too!
Buy fewer groceries at a time.
Italians tend to buy more fresh food—and buy it in smaller quantities. We have just what we know we’ll consume in a few days, before anything has a chance to spoil and go to waste. ___16___.
Eat seasonally.
I love strawberries, cantaloupe and watermelon, but in Italy, I can only get them in the summer, when they’re ripe. Out of season, these fruits would have to be imported. ____17____ Instead, enjoying them seasonally helps me appreciate them more.
____18____Neither my husband nor I have developed any gardening skills just yet, but fortunately, his mother, uncles and cousins have, and they frequently leave bags of just-picked produce on our doorstep.
Cook more meals at home.
I live in a small town where we have no fast-food restaurants other than a pizzaria that does carry-out. OK! Not only do we save money on expensive restaurant meals, but we get more quality family time by cooking, eating and cleaning up together. ____19____
Yes, bigger cities have more options for fast food, delivery and carryout. ____20____ I’ve also found that Italians are more conscious of what’s in their food, so they tend to be less willing to make fast food more than an occasional meal.
A. Of course, it takes a little more meal planning.
B. We also end up having healthier meals.
C. Another way Italians save is by growing their own produce.
D. It takes a long time to transport goods from foreign countries.
E. McDonald’s plans to open 200 new restaurants and hire 12000 staff in Italy by 2025.
F. They’d be a lot more expensive, of lesser quality and quite possibly grow n in an industrial greenhouse.
G. But even where the community is less closely connected, cooking and sharing meals with family and friends is still a big part of the social structure in Italy.

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons,
Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel.
On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday.

This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can’t stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. “Pull yourself together!” I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and John Owen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realize.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I’m glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
4. What is the probable meaning of the underlined phrase “Pull yourself together” in Paragraph 2
A. Take up B. Make up C. Cheer up D. show up
5. What can we infer about Matthew from the text
A. He is on good terms with his family. B. He has a preference for sleeping early.

Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World—Katherine Hayhoe’s new book, proposes to fight climate change through better communication. It is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, when she declared the most important thing any individual can do to fight climate change is to talk about it.
Of many refreshing aspects of this book, one is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat. Hayhoe pays special attention to Dismissives early on, noting that their aggressive posture online may create the impression that they’re everywhere. However, she argues, Dismissives account for only 7% of all American adults. The other 93% are more receptive by degree.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣). It is also packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the crowds who are the most suspicious. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for point s of common ground.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. Inspired by her TED talk, he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12,000 conversations that had taken place, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
8. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Explaining critical talking through literature.
B. Teaching communication skills with TED talks.
C. Sharpening people’s insight into climate change.
D. Sharing communication-centered tips for climate problems.
9. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Serious and challenging. B. Well-based and workable.
C. Approachable but one-sided. D. Practical but unacknowledged.
10. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”
A. By upgrading their social position.
B. By seeking shared interests or hobbies.
C. By changing their fundamental beliefs.
D. By offering more facts about climate change.
11. What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5
A. Turning to clean energy is inevitable.
B. We should raise people’s awareness of the climate crisis.
C. Conversations have an impact on climate decision-making.
D. A shy man began to speak to everybody motivated by Hayhoe.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C

Out in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 60 miles off the northwest coast of Africa, lie the Canary Islands. In the 1950s, the boom in package tourism showed promise as a new cash crop. But while the Canary Islands had the sunshine, warm climate and ease of access from Europe needed for this new industry, they were missing a vital element picture postcard sandy beaches.
So the developers on Tenerife in the Canary Islands constructed a breakwater (防波堤) over half a mile long. And then, from the Western Sahara on Africa’s northwest coast, they shipped in 270, 000 tons of sand. By 1973, the project was complete. As anticipated, tourists arrived. Along the engineered beach, rows and rows of tourists relax on beach chairs under umbrellas or walk across soft sand to cool down in the water.
Unanticipated was what their presence gave to one of the world’s most endangered fish species, angel sharks — visibility. The gentle wind creates tiny waves on the water’s surface, a magical cover for what lies beneath — an angel shark nursery. Female angel sharks regularly migrate to these ideally sheltered waters to give birth to pups (幼崽), who remain in the shallows for about a year. Feeding on small fishes, they grow to around the same length as a newborn human baby.
Surveys have shown that other beaches in the Canary Islands are also potential nursery sites. Interestingly, most of them have been remade to make them more attractive to people. Playa Chica has another long sweep of imported sand. It’s an attraction for divers as well as angel sharks, so the number of sightings of mature angel sharks of this shoreline is one of highest in the islands.
Normally, massive, environmentally disruptive projects are bad for wildlife. But what’s clear is that after the breakwater was built and the sand arrived, people followed, and in the calm, shallow waters they began to see baby angel sharks. And unlike how many an association between humans and wildlife ends-in conflict and dead animals, this time it led to conservation.
12. Why did the developers on Tenerife carry out the project
A. To build a base for shipping. B. To boost the local tourism industry.
C. To fight against the rising sea. D. To protect the island’s eco-system.
13. What was an unexpected result of the project
A. It caused the disappearance of some fishes.
B. It made a magical tourist attraction.
C. It gave angel sharks a home.
D. It created conflicts between sharks and tourists.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the engineered beach
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Intolerant.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To highlight the financial benefits of tourism.
B. To introduce potential human-wildlife coexistence.
C To explain the situation of endangered species.
D. To emphasize the importance of wildlife conservation.

I moved from America to Italy 14 years ago and I have learned a lot along the way. Here are several money-saving tricks I have picked up from living in Italy — most of which can apply to wherever you live too!
Buy fewer groceries at a time.
Italians tend to buy more fresh food—and buy it in smaller quantities. We have just what we know we’ll consume in a few days, before anything has a chance to spoil and go to waste. ___16___.
Eat seasonally.
I love strawberries, cantaloupe and watermelon, but in Italy, I can only get them in the summer, when they’re ripe. Out of season, these fruits would have to be imported. ____17____ Instead, enjoying them seasonally helps me appreciate them more.
____18____Neither my husband nor I have developed any gardening skills just yet, but fortunately, his mother, uncles and cousins have, and they frequently leave bags of just-picked produce on our doorstep.
Cook more meals at home.
I live in a small town where we have no fast-food restaurants other than a pizzaria that does carry-out. OK! Not only do we save money on expensive restaurant meals, but we get more quality family time by cooking, eating and cleaning up together. ____19____
Yes, bigger cities have more options for fast food, delivery and carryout. ____20____ I’ve also found that Italians are more conscious of what’s in their food, so they tend to be less willing to make fast food more than an occasional meal.
A. Of course, it takes a little more meal planning.
B. We also end up having healthier meals.
C. Another way Italians save is by growing their own produce.
D. It takes a long time to transport goods from foreign countries.
E. McDonald’s plans to open 200 new restaurants and hire 12000 staff in Italy by 2025.
F. They’d be a lot more expensive, of lesser quality and quite possibly grow n in an industrial greenhouse.
G. But even where the community is less closely connected, cooking and sharing meals with family and friends is still a big part of the social structure in Italy.
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了几个在意大利生活的省钱技巧。
【16题详解】
根据标题“Buy fewer groceries at a time.( 一次少买些杂货。)”和前文“Italians tend to buy more fresh food—and buy it in smaller quantities. We have just what we know we’ll consume in a few days, before anything has a chance to spoil and go to waste.(意大利人常常会购买更多的新鲜食品——而且购买量较小。我们买我们知道几天后要吃的东西，以免任何东西有机会变质和浪费)”可知，本段建议少买杂货，意大利人总是只买少量的东西，在变质之间几天内吃完，因此推断B项“我们最终也会吃到更健康的饭菜”符合语境，承接上文说明少量购买的益处。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据前文“I love strawberries, cantaloupe and watermelon, but in Italy, I can only get them in the summer, when they’re ripe. Out of season, these fruits would have to be imported.( 我喜欢草莓、哈密瓜和西瓜，但在意大利，我只能在夏天吃到它们，那时它们成熟。过了季节，这些水果就得进口了。)”可知，在意大利只有夏天可以吃草莓，哈密瓜和西瓜，过来这个季节，只能进口，因此推断D项“从国外运输货物需要很长时间。”符合语境，承接上文，说明进口水果需要的时间很长。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Neither my husband nor I have developed any gardening skills just yet, but fortunately, his mother, uncles and cousins have, and they frequently leave bags of just-picked produce on our doorstep.( 我丈夫和我都还没有掌握任何园艺技能，但幸运的是，他的母亲、叔叔和堂兄弟已经掌握了，他们经常把刚采摘的农产品放在我们家门口。)”可知，本段介绍自己种植一些农产品，因此推断C项“意大利人省钱的另一种方式是种植自己的农产品。”为最佳标题，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据标题“Cook more meals at home(在家做更多的饭菜)”和前文“Not only do we save money on expensive restaurant meals, but we get more quality family time by cooking, eating and cleaning up together.( 我们不仅在昂贵的餐馆吃饭上省了钱，而且通过一起做饭、吃饭和打扫卫生，我们获得了更多的家庭时光。)”可知，上文介绍在家做饭不仅省钱而且获得更多的家庭时光，因此推断G项“但是，即使在社区联系不那么紧密的地方，与家人和朋友一起做饭和分享食物仍然是意大利社会结构的重要组成部分。”符合语境，承接上文。故选G。
【20题详解】
前文“Yes, bigger cities have more options for fast food, delivery and carryout.(是的，大城市有更多的快餐、外卖和外卖选择。)”提到快餐外卖，下文“I’ve also found that Italians are more conscious of what’s in their food, so they tend to be less willing to make fast food more than an occasional meal.(我还发现，意大利人对食物的成分更敏感，所以他们不太愿意做快餐，只是偶尔吃一顿。”说明意大利人不喜欢快餐，F项“它们要贵得多，质量也差得多，而且很可能是在工业温室里种植的。”符合语境，承上启下，说明快餐不仅昂贵，而且质量差，意大利人对食物要求高，不愿意吃快餐。故选F。

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons,
Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel.
On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday.

As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere.
After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith took out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in!
