It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas.My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington, Union Station, waiting for the train.There were many people inside the waiting hall.A boy sat nearby.His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.“He must be cold and hungry.Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself.

The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care.Suddenly he stopped.In the direction (方向) to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags (衣衫褴褛的)—in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood up and helped the old man to his seat.He took off his jacket and covered it over the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating.I hate to waste good food.Can you help me out ” He put the still-warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer.

Will future you still be you It might seem like a strange philosophical (哲学的) question.But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you finally find satisfying (满意的) and ones you might regret (后悔).
Brain imaging shows that when people think about their future selves, their brain patterns (模式) are similar to those when they think about strangers.This finding shows that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people.If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more to be good for that stranger
However, if you see the interests of your future self as more like those of your present self, you are more likely to do things today that are good for you tomorrow.A paper showed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to succeed in study.Relationships with our future selves are also important to general psychological well-being (幸福).In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who knew the connection in qualities between their present and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after the study.
So how can we better help our future selves and feel more connected to them Vividness interventions (主动干预) works.We have found, for example, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases their willingness to save for the long term.Besides, you might try writing a letter to—and then from—your future self.As pointed out by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students took part in this type of “send-and-reply” exercise, they experienced increased levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization (想象) exercises are just two ways we can connect with our future selves, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our future selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
31.The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to ________.
A.introduce the following opinion B.introduce a research result
C.show the finding is important D.conclude different ideas
32.How does the writer prove (证明) his idea
A.By offering numbers. B.By using others’ words.
C.By listing past findings. D.By making comparisons (比较).
33.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Importance of helping our future selves. B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Reasons for changing our way of thinking. D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
34.What does the article want to tell us
A.Making future plans makes a difference.
B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know our future selves is meaningful.
D.Our choice affects the life of strangers.
35.Where does this text probably come from
A.A storybook. B.A weather report. C.A travelling guide. D.A science magazine.

A national survey was carried out in Australia on how children aged eight to sixteen read news.The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news.However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events.The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not.
Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地)think about the news.
To help decide if a source can be trusted, they can ask the following questions.Is it clear who created this news Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story Does it show facts straight or does it include opinions If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas.Does it include (包含) all the important people If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions.
Some media may make use of people’s feelings.Discussing children’s feelings about news helps them decide which news programs to watch.Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online.Adults can also talk to children why people spread (传播) wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks.
News media talk about events in different ways.Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories.In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly.In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to think about how they are reporting the story.Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills.
News that can be trusted is important to societies.People need it to help make decisions in lives.Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is a difficult task for everyone at present.Listening to children’s experiences is a useful starting point for improving their critical thinking abilities.

I am a student in Beijing Foreign Studies University now and my score in the English subject was 146 on the national college entrance examination.But when I first started studying English seriously, I noticed that my grammar was a m 61 weak point.My writing was often full of m 62 .To fix this, I created a study plan to improve my grammar.
I started by reviewing the basic (基础的) grammar rules.I realized that I had been making mistakes because I never really understood the rules e 63 .For example, I would often mix up verb tenses (动词时态).To solve this, I s 64 a few weeks just going over the basics.It was a little b 65 at first, but it made a huge difference.
One of the turning points for me was when I began keeping a grammar diary.Whenever I made a mistake, I would write it down along with the correct usage m 66 .I remember once I kept mixing the past perfect tense w 67 the simple past.Writing out the differences and practising w 68 sentences in my diary helped me internalize (内化) the rules.
In fact, to get b 69 at any subject, you need to find what you’re not good at and face it directly.Remember, every mistake is just a chance to learn s 70 new.

参考答案

考查动词形式辨析。Finish完成,是动词原形;Finished一般过去式;Finishing动名词形式;To finish动词不定式。根据“and then we’ll talk about it.”可知本句是祈使句,需以原形动词开头,故选A。
2.A
【详解】考查名词的用法。由上句句意“汤米,你不可以让其他人知道我今天告诉你的话”可推出本句句意:不要担忧,我会保密的。keep the secret意为“保守秘密”。故选A。
3.D
【详解】句意:我的父母很少给自己买新衣服,但是他们在为我花钱方面却很慷慨。
考查固定搭配及反身代词。buy sth.for sb.意为“为某人买某物”,根据主语“my parents”和“but they are so generous when they spend money on me.”可知,该处表达的是很少给他们自己买衣服,用反身代词themselves。故选D。
4.B
【详解】句意:——与其一直做作业,不如出去享受阳光怎么样?——好的。我马上就来。

【详解】句意:——不要把你的问题留给自己。为什么不跟我分享呢?——你真好。我真得需要你的帮助和支持。
考查特殊疑问句。why not do sth=why don’t you do sth“为什么不做某事”,选项C句式错误,what about doing sth“做某事怎么样”。题干中空格后是动词原形,因此用why not句式。故选A。
7.B
【详解】句意:——现在是八点。我们去购物中心好吗?——现在是交通高峰期。我们等到九点吧。那时路上的车就会少一些。

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者自己刚开始学习英语的时候的经历和自己的学习方法,最后告诉我们每一个错误都仅仅是一个学习新事物的机会。
61.句意:但是,当我刚开始认真对待英语的时候,我注意到我的语法是一个主要的薄弱点。根据“But when I first started studying English seriously, my grammar was a m… weak point”及首字母可知,是指我的语法是一个主要的薄弱点,main“主要的”,形容词,修饰名词。故填(m)ain。

64.句意:为了解决这个问题,我花了几周的时间复习了一下基础知识。根据“To solve this”可知,为了解决问题花了几周的时间。spend“花费”动词,通读全文可知,时态为一般过去时,因此要用动词过去式。故填(s)pent。
65.句意:刚开始的时候有点无聊,但是产生了巨大的影响。根据“To solve this, I s… a few weeks just going over the basics.”可知,复习基础知识是无聊的。boring“无聊的”,形容词,主语为物;bored“无聊的”,形容词,主语为人;it在这里指复习基础知识这件事,所以要用boring。故填(b)oring。
66.句意:每当我犯错时,我都会把错误和正确的用法一起写下来。此处强调是由“我自己”写下来正确和错误的用法,要用反身代词,myself“我自己”。故填(m)yself。
67.句意:我记得有一次我一直把过去完成时和一般过去时弄混。mix…with…“把……和……弄混”,动词短语。故填(w)ith。
68.句意:把区别写下来,并在我的日记里练习写句子,这帮助我把这些规则内化于心。根据“practising w… sentences in my diary”可知,是在日记里练习写句子。write“写”,动词;practise doing sth.“练习做……”,动词短语。故填(w)riting。
69.句意:事实上,在任何科目上变得更好,你都需要去找到你不擅长的地方并直接面对它。根据第三段及首字母可知,此处是指在任何科目上变得更好。better“好”,比较级;best“最好”,最高级;get+形容词比较级表示“变得越来越……”。故填(b)etter。
70.句意:记住,每一个错误都仅仅是一个学习新事物的机会。根据“learn s… new.”可知是学习新事物。something“某事,某物”符合句意。故填(s)omething。
