一、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）
The world awaits. Where will you go next The following are among the most exciting destinations to visit. Grab your bags and go!Puebla, Mexico
Founded in 1931, the Mexico’s fourth-largest city is a stronghold of Baroque architecture. In Puebla’s citycenter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a large number of gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century Baroque buildings. Many are decorated with colored titles, the use of which illustrates the combination of Puebla’s local and European colonial styles. In 2017, an earthquake shook the area, leading to restorations of facilities throughout the city afterward. Despite that, Puebla remains rooted in tradition.Tel , Czech Republic
The storybook town was probably founded in the mid-14th century. Stone walls and a system of man-madeponds help protect Tel historic town center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The triangular market square is bordered by a rainbow of light-colored houses, which were originally built of wood and rebuilt in stone after a fire in the late 14th century.G bekli Tepe, Turkey
Estimated to date back to the 10th-9th millennia B．C．E, the monumental limestone pillars at G bekli Tepe had been hiding in plain sight for several thousand years. The detailed exploration of these giant stones only began in the 1990s. What have been revealed — primarily massive stones decorated with bas-reliefs (浅浮雕) of animal — comprise the world’s oldest known temple complex. The extraordinary discoveries made here have rewritten the story of how the first civilizations began.Guatemala
Archaeologists have found long-hidden ruins of an extensive pre-Columbian civilization here, confirming that Guatemala is the place to dive into Mayan culture, then and now. Ancient roots run particularly deep in the northernmost Peten region. In modern, multicultural Guatemala, people with Mayan origin make up about half the population, making the country the only one in Central America with a native cultural majority.

When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the first 15 days, I was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself,” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar (桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by its size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “As soon as I got on the water, I fell in love with it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc (椎间盘突出), she was only able to crawl out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she says. “One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on.” she says.
4．What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic
A．She fell apart and abandoned the task.
B．She suffered a lot during the process.
C．She was the oldest woman to finish it.
D．She rowed along with six other women.
5．How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row
A．Painful. B．Frightened.
C．Confident. D．Impressed.
6．What inspired Davies to row across an ocean
A．A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat.
B．Support from a boat company.
C．Stories of some women adventurers.
D．Sufferings from her back pain.
7．Which of the following best describes Davies
A．Caring and open-minded. B．Humble and self-motivated.
C．Determined and easy-going. D．Strong-willed and ambitious.
British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.
As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.”
Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden inflow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment.
Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.”
8．Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers
A．To make Walkers use them once more. B．To exchange them for some new chips.
C．To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging. D．To appeal to people not to use the bags.
9．What does the second paragraph mainly show
A．The potential harm of chip bags. B．The cause of animals’ death.
C．The production of plastic bags. D．The opinion of Geraint Ashcroft.
10．What is the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Understandable. B．Anxious. C．Significant. D．Responsible.
11．How does Walkers react to the campaign
A．Doubtfully. B．Positively. C．Cautiously. D．Negatively.
Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ”
Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
12．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion
A．Favorable. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
13．Which statement would the author probably agree with
A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading.
B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection.
C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain.
D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology.
14．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought.
B．To stress swimming differs from reading.
C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading.
D．To illustrate what slow reading is like.
15．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Slow Reading is Here to Stay
B．Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C．Reflections on Deep Reading
D．The Wonder of Deep Reading
How to Become a More Social Person
Socializing is generally considered a pleasant and leisurely activity. 16 Here are some ways to help you become a more social person over all.
Smile. Everybody wants to be around people who are happy and excited about life. 17 Not only will it instantly make you feel better, but it will also make other people want to be around you, talk to you, and get to know you. A study shows that smiling can help improve your mood and make it easier for you to interact with others.
18 If you are at a party or other social gatherings, make sure your body language says that you want to be approached. Make eye contact with people, give them a nod, and look straight ahead instead of at your feet or the floor, which will make other people more likely to come up to you.
Be genuine. 19 Being fully engaged not only shows that you are friendly, but it also makes for more stimulating and fulfilling interactions with others. Avoid texting or talking on the phone when you are in the middle of a conversation, especially if the subject matter is important.
Ask people questions about themselves. Let’s face it. People love talking about themselves. And if you want to be more social and start talking to people more, then show your interest in people by asking how their day is going, how they’re feeling, and what they have coming up. 20
A．Say something nice.
B．Don’t ask private questions.
C．Have welcoming body language.
D．However, various anxieties can make it hard to interact with others.
E．Even if you don’t always feel happy, force yourself to smile now and then.
F．When talking with somebody, always show a sincere interest in the conversation.
G．They will show you want to open up and are waiting for people to get you talking.

At Christmas 2020, a set of 4-year-old twins living in Kansas wrote letters to Santa, tied them to red balloons, and let them go. Although their mother, Leticia Flores-Gonzalez, knew it was something like a message in a bottle, she encouraged her daughters to let their balloons fly in the air in the hope that they would reach Santa.
It was a windy day, and she just thought they were going to get lost, or get caught up in a tree. And, while one of the balloons did get lost, the other one reached its destination. It flew all the way to Louisiana, where Alvin Bamburg found it. The man had no idea what the balloon could be bringing with it, but when he read the letter, he decided that he just had to do something.
Just like any Santa’s helper would do, he prepared to deliver the presents to the sweet girls. But, in order to do so, he had to find them. He went online and, after some serious research, he got in touch with’ the family. After contacting the mother, he reached out to the family. Together with his friends, he collected all the presents that the girls had asked for.
Alvin managed to package most of them and send them to the family. Although the girls were delighted to get their precious presents, one was missing. The girls had also asked for a puppy, but there was no puppy in the package they received.
This was Alvin’s last and biggest surprise. He got a puppy and drove all the way to the girls’ home, about 600 miles away, to deliver the last but greatest gift ever.
When the girls saw the man arriving with a dog in his arms, they couldn’t hide their excitement. They were so grateful to Santa’s helper Alvin for all the gifts he had brought to them.

【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者从各角度就科技对阅读的影响阐述了自己的观点并推崇慢速阅读。
【解析】12．推理判断题。由文章第二段“We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. ‘Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,’ The American author Selvin wrote. ‘But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ’(我们不应该夸大这种危险。所有读者都会略读。略读是我们在学习更熟练地阅读时获得的技能。事实证明，对注意力持续时间下降的担忧是虚惊一场。美国作家Selvin写道，‘一些评论家担心注意力持续时间，认为短篇小说是文化衰落的标志，但从来没有人说诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据’。)”可知，作者是赞成Selvin的观点，诗歌就是注意力持续时间短但文化丰富的深度阅读，所以对阅读注意力持续时间下降的担忧是没有必要的。故选A项。
13．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.(一旦发表，在线文章就开始在下面形成一个评论字符串。这种写作和阅读模式可以是互动和有趣的，但可能缺乏深刻的反思。)”可知，作者认为在线写作和阅读往往忽视仔细思考。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。由文章第四段“To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he's done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.(对于一个慢读者来说，只有沉浸在他们对单词的缓慢理解中，才能完全理解一篇文章。阅读速度慢的人就像一个游泳运动员，他不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动。)”可知，一个游泳运动员不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动，作者提到游泳运动员是为了说明慢速阅读是什么样的。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn't killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.(在实践中，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有像汽车杀死自行车一样杀死印刷书籍。我们仍然想享受慢慢形成的想法和精心挑选的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代，也有时间慢慢阅读。)”以及上文可知，作者就科技对阅读的影响阐述自己的观点并认为在快速发展的时代中，我们仍然可以享受慢速阅读。所以A项Slow Reading is Here to Stay(慢读还是存在的)符文文意。故选A项。

一、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）
The world awaits. Where will you go next The following are among the most exciting destinations to visit. Grab your bags and go!Puebla, Mexico
Founded in 1931, the Mexico’s fourth-largest city is a stronghold of Baroque architecture. In Puebla’s citycenter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a large number of gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century Baroque buildings. Many are decorated with colored titles, the use of which illustrates the combination of Puebla’s local and European colonial styles. In 2017, an earthquake shook the area, leading to restorations of facilities throughout the city afterward. Despite that, Puebla remains rooted in tradition.Tel , Czech Republic
The storybook town was probably founded in the mid-14th century. Stone walls and a system of man-madeponds help protect Tel historic town center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The triangular market square is bordered by a rainbow of light-colored houses, which were originally built of wood and rebuilt in stone after a fire in the late 14th century.G bekli Tepe, Turkey
Estimated to date back to the 10th-9th millennia B．C．E, the monumental limestone pillars at G bekli Tepe had been hiding in plain sight for several thousand years. The detailed exploration of these giant stones only began in the 1990s.

When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the first 15 days, I was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself,” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar (桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by its size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “As soon as I got on the water, I fell in love with it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc (椎间盘突出), she was only able to crawl out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she says. “One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on.” she says.
4．What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic
A．She fell apart and abandoned the task.

B．Support from a boat company.
C．Stories of some women adventurers.
D．Sufferings from her back pain.
7．Which of the following best describes Davies
A．Caring and open-minded. B．Humble and self-motivated.
C．Determined and easy-going. D．Strong-willed and ambitious.
British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.
As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.”
Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden inflow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment.
Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.”
8．Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers
A．To make Walkers use them once more. B．To exchange them for some new chips.
C．To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging. D．To appeal to people not to use the bags.
9．What does the second paragraph mainly show
A．The potential harm of chip bags. B．The cause of animals’ death.
C．The production of plastic bags. D．The opinion of Geraint Ashcroft.
10．What is the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Understandable. B．Anxious. C．Significant. D．Responsible.
11．How does Walkers react to the campaign
A．Doubtfully. B．Positively. C．Cautiously. D．Negatively.
Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.
We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ”
Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.
Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.
12．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion
A．Favorable. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
13．Which statement would the author probably agree with
A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading.
B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection.
C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain.
D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology.
14．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought.
B．To stress swimming differs from reading.
C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading.
D．To illustrate what slow reading is like.
15．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Slow Reading is Here to Stay
B．Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C．Reflections on Deep Reading
D．The Wonder of Deep Reading
How to Become a More Social Person
Socializing is generally considered a pleasant and leisurely activity. 16 Here are some ways to help you become a more social person over all.
Smile. Everybody wants to be around people who are happy and excited about life. 17 Not only will it instantly make you feel better, but it will also make other people want to be around you, talk to you, and get to know you. A study shows that smiling can help improve your mood and make it easier for you to interact with others.
18 If you are at a party or other social gatherings, make sure your body language says that you want to be approached. Make eye contact with people, give them a nod, and look straight ahead instead of at your feet or the floor, which will make other people more likely to come up to you.
Be genuine. 19 Being fully engaged not only shows that you are friendly, but it also makes for more stimulating and fulfilling interactions with others. Avoid texting or talking on the phone when you are in the middle of a conversation, especially if the subject matter is important.
Ask people questions about themselves. Let’s face it. People love talking about themselves. And if you want to be more social and start talking to people more, then show your interest in people by asking how their day is going, how they’re feeling, and what they have coming up. 20
A．Say something nice.
B．Don’t ask private questions.
C．Have welcoming body language.
D．However, various anxieties can make it hard to interact with others.
E．Even if you don’t always feel happy, force yourself to smile now and then.
F．When talking with somebody, always show a sincere interest in the conversation.
G．They will show you want to open up and are waiting for people to get you talking.

47．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。
At Christmas 2020, a set of 4-year-old twins living in Kansas wrote letters to Santa, tied them to red balloons, and let them go. Although their mother, Leticia Flores-Gonzalez, knew it was something like a message in a bottle, she encouraged her daughters to let their balloons fly in the air in the hope that they would reach Santa.
It was a windy day, and she just thought they were going to get lost, or get caught up in a tree. And, while one of the balloons did get lost, the other one reached its destination. It flew all the way to Louisiana, where Alvin Bamburg found it. The man had no idea what the balloon could be bringing with it, but when he read the letter, he decided that he just had to do something.
Just like any Santa’s helper would do, he prepared to deliver the presents to the sweet girls. But, in order to do so, he had to find them. He went online and, after some serious research, he got in touch with’ the family. After contacting the mother, he reached out to the family. Together with his friends, he collected all the presents that the girls had asked for.
Alvin managed to package most of them and send them to the family. Although the girls were delighted to get their precious presents, one was missing. The girls had also asked for a puppy, but there was no puppy in the package they received.
This was Alvin’s last and biggest surprise. He got a puppy and drove all the way to the girls’ home, about 600 miles away, to deliver the last but greatest gift ever.
When the girls saw the man arriving with a dog in his arms, they couldn’t hide their excitement. They were so grateful to Santa’s helper Alvin for all the gifts he had brought to them.

【解析】8．细节理解题。根据第一段“An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.(到目前为止，已有超过312,000个签名的在线请愿书鼓励那些签名的人将他们的空芯片塑料袋邮寄给沃克斯，作为对塑料袋不可回收设计的抗议)”可知，人们把薯片塑料包装盒寄回Walkers是为了抗议该公司使用不可回收的塑料作为包装袋。故选C。
9．主旨大意题。根据第二段“As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption.(请愿活动组织者杰兰特·阿什克罗夫特解释说，大多数薯条包装都是由涂有金属的塑料制成的，是不可回收的，而且在食用33年后仍完好无损)”和“Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.”(阿什克罗夫特写道：“按照现在的消费速度，33年后，将有2000亿个包裹被送到垃圾填埋场或污染我们的海洋。许多会被鱼或鸟吃掉，导致缓慢死亡。”)”可知本段主要介绍了薯片的包装给环境及动物带来的危害。故选A。
10．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“pressure it to come up with a better design(迫使它想出一个更好的设计)”推知，人们认为寄回薯片的包装袋是让该公司对自己的包装负责的方法。由此猜测划线词意为“负责的”，与responsible同义。故选D。

【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者从各角度就科技对阅读的影响阐述了自己的观点并推崇慢速阅读。
【解析】12．推理判断题。由文章第二段“We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. ‘Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,’ The American author Selvin wrote. ‘But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ’(我们不应该夸大这种危险。所有读者都会略读。略读是我们在学习更熟练地阅读时获得的技能。事实证明，对注意力持续时间下降的担忧是虚惊一场。美国作家Selvin写道，‘一些评论家担心注意力持续时间，认为短篇小说是文化衰落的标志，但从来没有人说诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据’。)”可知，作者是赞成Selvin的观点，诗歌就是注意力持续时间短但文化丰富的深度阅读，所以对阅读注意力持续时间下降的担忧是没有必要的。故选A项。
13．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.(一旦发表，在线文章就开始在下面形成一个评论字符串。这种写作和阅读模式可以是互动和有趣的，但可能缺乏深刻的反思。)”可知，作者认为在线写作和阅读往往忽视仔细思考。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。由文章第四段“To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he's done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.(对于一个慢读者来说，只有沉浸在他们对单词的缓慢理解中，才能完全理解一篇文章。阅读速度慢的人就像一个游泳运动员，他不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动。)”可知，一个游泳运动员不再计算自己在游泳池里跑了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动，作者提到游泳运动员是为了说明慢速阅读是什么样的。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn't killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.(在实践中，旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有像汽车杀死自行车一样杀死印刷书籍。我们仍然想享受慢慢形成的想法和精心挑选的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代，也有时间慢慢阅读。)”以及上文可知，作者就科技对阅读的影响阐述自己的观点并认为在快速发展的时代中，我们仍然可以享受慢速阅读。所以A项Slow Reading is Here to Stay(慢读还是存在的)符文文意。故选A项。

20．前文“And if you want to be more social and start talking to people more, then show your interest in people by asking how their day is going, how they’re feeling, and what they have coming up.（如果你想更善于社交，开始和别人多说话，那就问问他们今天过得怎么样，感觉怎么样，有什么事要做，以此来表达你对他们的兴趣。）”具体介绍如何问关于他人的问题，G项“They will show you want to open up and are waiting for people to get you talking.（它们会表现出你想要敞开心扉，等待别人和你说话。）”符合语境，说明问这些问题带来的好处，其中的“They”指前文的各种问题。故选G。
