Like many of us, Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Nair were two friends separated from each other by the pandemic (流行病).
They live in Paris and are both poets. Before the pandemic, they spent lots of time on the road. Hacker was meant to be teaching in Lebanon and had to return home suddenly when the cases stared rising. And Nair, who is a dancer and usually on tour, was diagnosed with breast cancer just as France announced a lockdown (封锁).
“I had gone through chemotherapy (化疗) myself some years ago, so it was not an experience that was entirely strange to me,” Hacker says, adding that they both also live alone. “I wanted to reach out and connect with somebody with whom I had something in common.”
The two poets wrote a book together, out this month, called A Different Distance. It includes almost daily poems from March 2020 to March 2021. Hacker says she approached Nair with the idea of writing the book. As the poets responded to each other through poetry over email, Nair says, the project strengthened her friendship with Hacker. “I was afraid of my brain shutting down because chemotherapy was very heavy on me, and the possibility of maintaining a creative teamwork was just so precious.”
Normally, Hacker would like to accompany Nair to her hospital appointments and take her to lunch afterward, but under lockdown, they had to settle for meeting each other online. The poetry details not only of Nair’s illness but of what the poets were eating, reading, or listening to when isolated (隔离). They write of friends and family they lost along the year, and news they were hearing about across the world.
And as a time capsule for the pandemic, A Different Distance shows how healing it can be to hold each other close in times of distress.
24. What do Hacker and Nair have in common
A. They lived with families in Paris, France.
B. They were not influenced by the pandemic.
C. They were capable of writing poems.
D. They felt great for the separation.
25. What can we learn about Hacker during the pandemic
A. She didn’t go through chemotherapy before.
B. She refused to accompany Nair to hospital.
C. She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
D. She wanted to contact with friends.
26. What does the underlined word “distress” mean in the last paragraph
A. Happiness. B. Sadness.
C. Encouragement. D. Loneliness.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text

B. A Book Introduction: A Different Distance
C. How to Properly Deal with Pandemic and Cancer
D. Poets’ Friendship and Loneliness During the Pandemic
C
To celebrate the spring in Rome, they sometimes eat vignarola. Vignarola is a vegetable stew (炖菜) mixed with all things green and new. It once marked the start of the new season after the hungry gap of late winter. But in a time when frozen peas are available all year round, the dish’s amazing spring freshness no longer means as much.
Our modern food system has been able to supply us with the freshness of spring all year round, but before refrigeration (冷藏) and modern methods of agriculture, even butter and eggs were seasonal foods. However, how often do you ever taste something truly fresh If you look closely, you’ll likely notice much of the produce at your local supermarket isn’t quite as fresh as you thought. I recently met a British farmer who produces salad greens. He told me he can taste a huge difference between a leaf that is a day old and one that is three days old and that, by five days, the taste is greatly dulled, despite the leaves still looking green and bright. Because of this, the average shopper is none the wiser in regard to the freshness of produce. The same goes for much of the food you buy. The label says “fresh” but what this actually means is something closer to “not rotten (腐烂的).”
Our entire food supply is based on the idea of “fresh” and “keeping things fresh”. But to keep things fresh is a kind of cheat, because something can only truly be considered fresh when it has just been taken out of the ground or has just been cooked. The “fresh” food and drink in our supermarkets has often been on a surprisingly long journey in the global cold chain before it reaches us. Many refrigerated foods can be labeled as “fresh” even if they are weeks old, and fruit can still be “fresh” after being irradiated (辐照) or after having received a wax coating.
It may be impossible to measure true freshness in food, but you know it when you taste it. A couple of years ago, a friend served me a simple dish of boiled potatoes that were so fresh and waxy that every other potato I’d ever eaten seemed tasteless in my memory.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Supermarkets only sell vegetables that are truly fresh.
B. Supermarkets sometimes invite farmers to teach shoppers how to choose fresh produce.
C. Many people can’t actually tell whether supermarket produce is fresh or not.
D. The British farmer could find little difference between truly fresh greens and “fresh” greens.
29. Why does the author say “to keep things fresh is a kind of cheat” in paragraph 3
A. Because many kinds of drinks are made from concentrate.
B. Because it’s impossible for the modern food system to keep food fresh.
C. Because consumers typically aren’t able to tell whether the food on sale is fresh or not.
D. Because it often takes a long time before “fresh” food appear in your local supermarket.
30. According to the author, what’s the most reliable way to tell whether food is fresh or not
A. Check it. B. Taste it.
C. Smell it. D. Cook it.
31. How does the author start and end the passage
A. By telling stories of her friends.
B. By introducing traditional foods.
C. By showing examples of truly fresh food.
D. By sharing her experience of eating truly fresh food.
D
When we’re trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.
“It’s extremely common for websites and apps to display the average score of a product along with the number of reviews. Our research suggests that, in some cases, people might take this information and make bad decisions with it,” says researcher Derek Powell of Stanford University, the lead author on the study.
“We found that people were biased (有偏见的) toward choosing to buy more popular products and that this sometimes led them to make very poor decisions,” he explains.
As opportunities to buy products online increase, we can easily get first-hand information about users’ experiences.
“We wanted to examine how people use this wealth of information when they make decisions, and specifically how they weigh information about other people’s decisions,” says Powell.
Looking at actual products available on Amazon.com, Powell and his colleagues found no relationship between the number of reviews a product had and its average rating. In other words, real-world data show that a large number of reviews are not a reliable indicator of a product’s quality.
In one online experiment, 132 adult participants looked at a series of phone cases presented in pairs. The participants saw an average user rating and total number of reviews for each phone case and expressed which case in each pair they would buy.
Across various combinations of average rating and the number of reviews, participants usually chose the option (选项) with more reviews. This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (统计学的) terms, more likely to be low quality.
32. What does Powell’s research show about people’s use of ratings and reviews while choosing products
A. It is always helpful for making smart decisions.
B. It leads to the bias that can result in poor decision-making.
C. It enables people to make informed decisions.
D. It allows users to choose fine quality products out of poor ones.
33. What is the focus of the research by Powell and his colleagues
A. How wealth influences consumers’ choice of products.
B. How past experiences influence consumers’ choice of products.
C. How product quality influences consumers’ choice of products.
D. How information online influences consumers’ choice of products.
34. What do the participants’ choices in the experiment show
A. They show a preference for higher-priced goods.
B. They balance quality and quantity of reviews well.
C. They show a strong bias toward less-reviewed options.
D. They often choose more-reviewed products even with low ratings.
35. What does the author think of using reviews and ratings for buying products
A. It is a reasonable method. B. It is possibly misleading.
C. It is a future mainstream trend. D. It is biased against quality products.

Being able to drive is one of the biggest freedoms in life. 36 They are from Richard Gladman, Head of Driving & Riding Standards at IAM RoadSmart, the UK’s leading road safety charity.
Drive regularly. It’s all too easy to get out of practice with driving, especially if you tend to sit in the passenger seat when you go out with family or your partner. 37
Refresh your skills. If you’re 70 and above and need to renew your license (驾照), or you just want to ensure your skills, then there are lots of courses that can help. IAM RoadSmart offers a 1-hour Mature Driver Course to provide an honest and objective evaluation of your driving. 38
Make a change. If your legs get tired easily, you could change to an automatic car. There are some special adaptations for your car that could be useful. For example, an electronic accelerator (油门) which sits behind the steering wheel (方向盘) lets you control the car’s speed with your hands instead of your feet.
Make sure you’re in good condition. Your eyesight is of significant importance when driving, so make sure you always have your glasses with you if you are short-sighted. 39 Also, make sure any medications have no side effects that could influence your driving.
Be prepared. Before starting a long journey, ensure your mirrors and seat are properly adjusted (调整). Make sure you know your way around your vehicle. In addition, carefully check whether you’ve got plenty of fuel and that your oil levels are right. 40

B. Plan your route ahead, whenever possible.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, back in the middle 2010s, I moved to a hillside house and drove down to work every morning at about eight o’clock and came home at around five thirty. Each time I drove by, I would see a young boy at about age 15 and a large dog walking along the road. When cars would pass him on the other side, he made eye contact and waved with a toothy smile. I saw him almost every day, walking along the road and waving at cars. Amazing
On a rainy day, I saw him, along with his dog, sitting at the roadside. I stopped my car and got out to ask what had happened to him. “Nothing. I just want to take a break,” the boy responded. I then asked if he needed a ride. The young boy, Kevin, said, “I’m not really going anywhere, just walking, thank you anyway, sir.” I used to enjoy walking in the countryside myself, so I thought it wasn’t too odd. “In case of some emergency, or if you ever need a ride or help,” I told Kevin, “flag me down and I’ll do whatever I can.” Kevin thanked me and went on his way. Over the following days, each time we met, I would stop for a while and have a quick talk with Kevin, and his sweet dog Randy.
One afternoon, I suddenly felt a voice inside my mind: “Go back home now!” There was still one hour for work. But I asked for an early leave and drove back faster than usual. Again, I saw Kevin walking along the road. But this time he didn’t have his usual smile and was pacing rather than walking. When he saw my car, he violently flagged me down. As I got closer, I could see he was crying. “What’s wrong, Kevin ” I asked.

D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在网上购物时过度依赖产品评价,这可能导致人们作出不理智的决定。研究表明,尽管两款产品评分相同,但人们倾向于选择评价较多的产品,即使评价显示该产品质量差。

35. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.”以及最后一段可知,人们可能会根据产品的评价数量和评分作出错误决定,选择了从统计角度来看更可能是低质量的产品。由此推知,作者认为根据产品的评价和评分进行选择可能具有误导性。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有关安全驾驶的建议。

37. F 空前说到“容易疏于开车”,而这段的小标题是“经常开车”,由此可推知空处应该说的是要经常练练手,不要生疏。F项的“every other day”对应小标题的“regularly”,词组“keep your hand in”对应段首句的“practice”。故选F。
38. E 空前说到有一个1小时的“Mature Driver Course(成熟司机课)”,由此可推知空处应该会继续介绍这个课程,E选项“该课程没有测试,目的是提升你的技能并增强自信心”符合语境。故选E。
39. A 根据本段小标题“Make sure you’re in good condition(确保你处于良好状态)”可知,空处和前面的“eyesight”、后面的“medications”一样,与身体状态有关,A项“还要检查一下你的听力”符合语境。故选A。
40. C 空前提到了一些在开长途车前要做的事情,比如“确保车镜和座位都调整好了”“检查是否有足够的燃料”等,这些都可以说是一些小事,可能会被司机忽略,C选项“如果忽视了这些小事,可能会造成大麻烦!”作为段末总结,与上文意思连贯。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威尔和她女儿的回忆。威尔27岁那年,刚结束海军的服役,带着当时只有1岁的女儿去上大学。为了维持生计,威尔在商店打工,晚上当清洁工人,有时不得不把女儿藏在壁橱中。2000年,威尔成功毕业,他的同学都起立为他喝彩。
41. B 考查动词辨析。1996年,即威尔27岁那年,他成了大一新生。由此可知,他刚结束海军的服役。start“开始”;finish“完成,结束”;continue“继续”;decide“决定”。故选B。
42. C 考查动词短语辨析。前一句提到“enrolled (入学) as a freshman”,可推测此处应该是威尔带着1岁的女儿去读大学。go away“离开”;fall through“失败”;set off“出发,启程”;get ready“准备好”。故选C。
43. A 考查动词短语辨析。由“Now that she’s a teenager”可知,这个时候奥利维娅已经长大了,他们应该是一起回顾以前的大学时光。look back“回顾”;cut down“削减”;put in“提出”;count down“倒计时”。故选A。
44. D 考查名词辨析。由上一段可知,威尔是带着年幼的女儿一起上学,可推测他们住在宿舍里,因此他们也算是“室友”。neighbor“邻居”;friend“朋友”;teammate“队友”;roommate“室友”。故选D。
45. C 考查副词辨析。根据前文可知,威尔害怕学校不接受他带着女儿来上学,因此他不敢告诉别人这件事。but“但是”;although“尽管”;therefore“因此”;instead“反而,代替”。故选C。
46. B 考查固定搭配。根据后半句可知威尔在外面兼职打工,可推测这是为了能够在没有正式工作的情况下维持生计。make ends meet“维持生计”正确。win“赢”;finish“完成”;solve“解决”。故选B。
47. A 考查动词辨析。由常识可推测,威尔是偷偷把女儿带到上班的地方,因为一般工作的地方不会允许带小孩进入,所以他把女儿藏在壁橱里。hide“把……藏起来”;find“发现”;release“释放”;feed“喂食”。故选A。
48. C 考查动词辨析。根据句子后半部分可知,威尔的工资不够两个人吃饭,加上压力大,所以此处应该是瘦了27磅。increase“增加”;have“拥有”;lose“减掉”;rise“上升”。故选C。
49. B 考查动词辨析。空处所在句仍旧是威尔对过去的回忆,描述了当时他的队友帮忙照顾奥利维娅的情形。keep“保持”;remember“记得”;start“开始”;imagine“想象”。故选B。
50. D 考查形容词辨析。带小孩去上课这种事情是不常见的,又根据后文“I felt a little awkward(我感觉有点尴尬)”可知,本句是奥利维娅在问爸爸带她去上课会不会觉得尴尬。excited“激动的”;afraid“害怕的”;anxious“焦虑的”;embarrassed“尴尬的”。故选D。
51. D 考查形容词辨析。威尔要兼顾学习、工作和照顾女儿,而且收入微薄,这个时期对他来讲是比较难熬的。由文章最后一段“I draw my strength from you”可知,这段时期唯一能让他坚持下去的动力就只有女儿。whole“全部的”;great“极好的”;worst“最糟糕的”;only“唯一的”。故选D。
52. A 考查动词辨析。由“and then go back to my studies”可知,威尔在学习间歇去看女儿。观察选项可推测,此时能够让他感到安心、产生动力的应该是女儿的睡颜。sleep“睡觉”;eat“吃”;cry“哭”;read“阅读”。故选A。
53. B 考查动词辨析。第一段提到威尔1996年进入大学,由常识可知他应该是2000年毕业,并且根据后文的“standing ovation”和“walking up with you”也可推知,此处是在毕业典礼上发生的事情。enter“进入”;graduate“毕业”;come“来到”;work“工作”。故选B。
54. B 考查名词辨析。纵观文中对话可知,奥利维娅和爸爸的谈话是轻松愉快的。rush“匆忙”;laugh“笑”;sigh“叹气”;wink“眨眼”。故选B。
55. D 考查动词辨析。由后半句“I love you”可知,空处的感情倾向应该是积极的,可以推测女儿对爸爸战胜困难的精神力量是十分钦佩的。concern“担心”;hate“讨厌”;assess“评估”;admire“钦佩”。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了移动学习app用排行榜或数字徽章等游戏元素帮助学生学习,激励学生并使他们专注在课程上。
56. performance 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,此处固定搭配“have effects on sth.”,表示“对……有影响”。空处应填名词,前面的“student”和“academic”都用于修饰空处中心词,应填perform的名词形式performance,意为“学生的学业表现”。故填performance。
57. to inspire 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,该处表示老师这么做的目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to inspire。
58. on 考查介词。此处考查词组on average,表示“平均来说”。故填on。
59. who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空后的“chose not to use the app”修饰空前的名词“students”,空处为定语从句的引导词,从句缺少主语,“students”是人,应用指代人的关系词who。故填who。
60. the 考查冠词。空后的内容是“2023年的第二学期”,是特指,该处应用定冠词the。故填the。
61. taught 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,该处为非谓语,句意是“为了测试学生对于课上所教知识的掌握程度”,“things”与“teach”为逻辑上的动宾关系,应该用teach的过去分词形式taught作后置定语。故填taught。
62. directly 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,句子主谓宾完整,不缺成分,应用副词修饰动词“delivered”,应填“direct”的副词形式。故填directly。
63. were collected 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。这句话描述的是测试的情况,发生在过去,且分数“points”与“collect”之间为动宾关系,应用一般过去式的被动语态,且“points”为复数形式。故填were collected。
64. allowing 考查非谓语动词。这句话前面已经有谓语动词“provide”,因此allow是作非谓语,allow和主语“Game elements”是逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填allowing。
65. interested 这里考查的是keep的用法“keep sb.+形容词”,空处应填interest的形容词形式,且这里的形容词修饰的是“their students”,应用形容“人”的interested。故填interested。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文:
Are Internet Friends Real Friends
Online friendships are a wonderful part of many people’s lives, but as far as I’m concerned, Internet friends cannot be considered real friends.
While it may be easy to communicate with people online, the Internet doesn’t provide the same level of personal interaction and emotional connection. Additionally, the anonymity (匿名) of the Internet can result in difficulties in establishing trust, which makes it difficult to determine the true intentions of an Internet friend. Moreover, though Internet friends seem to keep you company, they can’t provide you with real support.
Therefore, I think people should make efforts to form real-life friendships rather than online friendships.
第二节
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
“We were just walking but Randy somehow dropped,” Kevin said in tears. “Where is it now ” I asked. “Just at my house,” he answered. We quickly got into the car and drove to his house. It was a small old farmhouse. As we approached, I saw Randy just lying outside the doorway. We hurried to have a close look at it. “It’s still alive!” Kevin cried, “We need a vet!” We two quickly carried Randy into the car.
Paragraph 2:
As I drove to the animal hospital, Kevin sat in the back and kept talking to the dog. Luckily, Randy was saved in time. “Randy! You’ve come back to me!” Kevin said in a choked voice. Then he turned to me and said gratefully “If you hadn’t come earlier, Randy would have gone! Thank you very much ...” Tears welled up in his eyes. “It’s nothing, Kevin.” I patted him on the shoulder. Just at that moment, I realized: There is always a whispered urging in our heart and mind to do something good.

Text 10
W: In one small American city, snowball fights are not legal. Welcome to Severance, Colorado. The town, north of Denver, gets about 100 centimeters of snowfall a year. For almost 100 years, city rules have said it is not legal to throw or shoot stones or snowballs at people, animals, buildings, trees, or vehicles. Kyle Rietkerk works for the town of Severance. He said children cannot believe that it is not legal to have snowball fights in their hometown. He said town leaders have for years told the children, “You have the power; you can change the law.” But no one had tried until now. Nine-year-old Dane Best lives in Severance with his parents and little brother. He has made it his aim to get the snowball-fight ban removed. Dane says he believes the law is out of date. Dane wrote letters with his classmates in support of ending the ban. He says the first person he hopes to hit with a snowball is his four-year-old brother.
