Esther Wang appeared just hours after the rescue operation to find her was cancelled for the night.
Wang got separated from her hiking group on a trail at Golden Ears Park in British Columbia at around 3
p.m. on Tuesday, June 27. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police(RCMP), about 54 hours
after she went missing, the 16-year-old girl showed up from the densely forested and mountainous area at
around 9:30 p.m. on June 29, walking out on the very same path she had been traveling.
Sixteen teams were involved in the search from across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland up to
the Sea-to-Sky corridor, “She is fine, just extremely tired and sore, bitten by mosquitoes,” RCMP leader
Keith Schendel told CityNews. “So she is going to be taking some time to rest. Her parents had been there
from the day's rescue efforts and she walked pretty much right into their arms.”
According to the letter sent by the girl to CTV News, Wang was filled with hopelessness and fear,
but she knew she couldn't give up. She wrote that she suddenly slipped and hit her head on some rocks at
one point and lost her phone during the terrifying situation. She managed to get to a river and then followed
the stream to a gravel path which took her to Hiker’s Beach.
But things started to slowly take a turn for the worse until it got better. “I began to feel dizzy, and I
started to imagine things in front of me when there clearly wasn’t anyone around me,” she wrote in her letter.
“I continued to encourage myself to keep moving forward and not to give up yet. It was around 9:15 p.m.
when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I
waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.”
Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.
24.What do we know about the girl from Schendel’s words
A. She had no serious injuries. B. She was suffering emotionally.
C. She recovered physically soon. D. She was grateful to the rescuers.
25.What caused the girl’s terrifying situation according to the text
A. Her carelessness. B. Her sudden accident.
C. Her physical weakness. D. Her poor sense of direction.
26.What did the girl mainly describe in her letter to CTV News
A. How she felt after becoming lost. B. How she was helped when in horror.
C. How she managed to return to safety. D. How she was separated from her group.
27.What played the most important role in making the girl show up
A. Her good luck. B. Her perseverance.
C. The rescuers’ work. D. Her common sense.

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as
emotional intelligence(EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research
published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage
their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her
colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27
countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college.
The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test
scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and
personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held regardless of age.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come
into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety,
boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these
students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with
teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required
for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap (重叠) with the skills required
to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas,
according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with
low EI as it may stigmatize (给…打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions(干预)
that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and
emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would
be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external
specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone—not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.
”
28.What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
29.What can be a reason for the finding of MacCann's study
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
3 / 8
30.What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Should EI be taught in school
B. How can students develop high EI
C. Students with high EI do better in school.
D. Good students do better in managing emotions.
D
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way Do
you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored (订做的) to you and
your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization
A social media echo chamber (信息茧房) is when one experiences a tailored media information that
leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result,
people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media
companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will
keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes
us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the
opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things
we can do. The first step is to beef up your media sources. Adding in a few media sources with different
opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next,
read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly,
attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.
By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and
opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
32.What is a result of the social media echo chamber
A. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
B. People contact like-minded online users effectively.
C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.
4 / 8
33.What does the phrase “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean
A. Track. B. Identify. C. Improve. D. Provide.
34.Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber
A. Exposing ourselves to different voices.
B. Criticizing all the things on social media.
C. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
D. Researching primary sources of information.
35.What is the purpose of the text
A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C. To promote the use of various social media sites.
D. To inform people of new technology developments.
第二节 ( 共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Quiet a Complainer (抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains Lengthy complaints will
ruin the quality of your time together. 36 Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop
without starting an argument.
Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction
that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected
call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met
the new employee. 37
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that
you're listening. 38 Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather
than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their
dissatisfaction gets the points across.
Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation
short. 39 You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t let
you down—especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
40 When it’s someone very close to you—your partner, sibling, or best friend— who stresses you
out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you
bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding
the person.
5 / 8
A. Have a heart-to-heart talk.
B. Challenge the person to act.
C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her.
D. Just get them off the focus that they're currently on.
E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
F. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment.
G. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I've heard and I understand how you feel ”

Now, here’s where you come in. We’ve been fans of your performances, and we’d be absolutely excited to have you
