【主题语境】人与自我——健康生活方式（睡眠问题）、科学研究
【文章大意】文章主要围绕 “数羊是否真的有助于入睡” 这一话题，通过介绍历史上关于数羊助眠的说法，以及一项相关的研究，来阐述使用想象（而非单纯数羊）更有助于对抗失眠的观点，具有说明和解释的性质。
8. B 作者在第一段提到“Trying to imagine white sheep, jumping one by one over a fence, is a well - known solution for sleeplessness... And who decided on sheep Why not rabbits, horses or kangaroos ”，作者对通过数羊来解决失眠问题提出疑问，不明白为什么是羊而不是其他动物，所以提到其他动物是为了表明自己对这种解决方法的怀疑，故选B。
A选项“强调所有动物的平等”，文中未提及相关内容；C选项“证明数羊的效果”，与作者意图相反，作者是在质疑数羊的方法；D选项“证实他关于睡眠的假设”，第一段主要是对传统数羊助眠方法的质疑，并非证实关于睡眠的假设。
9. D 根据文中“‘Our study more than 20 years ago wasn't about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery (图像) to fight sleeplessness,’ said Harvey, who conducted the research.”可知，2002年研究的重点是利用想象（图像）来对抗失眠，而不是数羊等其他内容，故选D。
A选项“睡眠习惯”，文中未提及该研究与睡眠习惯有关；B选项“测试方法”，不是研究重点；C选项“数羊”，原文明确说明研究不是关于数羊的。
10. A 第四段提到“The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task... Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups”，即被要求进行有趣的想象任务的小组入睡更快，由此可以推断出想象场景可能有助于睡眠，故选A。
B选项“数羊能治愈失眠”，与文章内容不符，文章未表明数羊能治愈失眠；C选项“更快入睡能消除担忧”，文中只是说使用想象的人感觉自己的想法、担忧和顾虑不那么令人不安，而不是更快入睡消除了担忧；D选项“评估想法可能会不舒服”，文中是说没有使用想象的人感觉想法、担忧等更不舒服，而不是评估想法本身不舒服。
11. C 根据文中“‘Counting sheep usually does not do the trick,’ she said. ‘Instead, we work out a menu of options with people, because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time.’”可知，Harvey认为要根据每个人的不同情况制定个性化的方案，故选C。
A选项“为失眠者提供营养菜单”，是对“work out a menu of options”的错误理解，这里的“菜单”指的是一系列的选择方案，不是真正的营养菜单；B选项“认为所有传统方法都无效”，过于绝对，文中只是说数羊这种传统方法通常不起作用，并不是所有传统方法；D选项“支持将使用想象作为唯一方法”，文中说的是使用想象是一个重要的建议，但不是唯一方法。

【主题语境】人与自然——环境保护——气候变化的棋盘游戏
【文章大意】本文主要讲述了英语老师Debra Rosenthal在自己的课堂上通过棋盘游戏让学生了解气候变化。
D 理解目的 根据第三段中的“Rosenthal thought her students. . . how their own ideas and experiences affected climate change”和该段最后一句可知, Rosenthal认为她的学生会更好地理解他们自己的想法和经历会如何影响气候变化,并希望游戏能给学生一个机会来以一种新方式讨论气候变化。由此可见, Rosenthal那样安排课堂是因为她想要鼓励学生形成对气候变化的观点, 故D项正确。
A 推断 根据第四段中的“a way to be social, to engage in conversation. . . to work together and try to come up with a solution”可知, 在棋盘游戏中,学生可以相互之间交流合作, 一起努力想出解决方案, 故A项正确。
B 推断 根据倒数第二段中的“The games are global”和最后一段中的“It's either we all suffer from this, or we all somehow collaborate to work our way out of this”可知, 在气候变化这个全球性问题上, 我们要么都遭受痛苦,要么以某种方式合作想出解决办法。也就是说, 人类命运是紧密相连的, 我们有共同的未来,故B项正确。
C理解文章主旨要义 根据第一段中的 “an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change”和下文中的内容可知, 本文主要讲述了一个英语老师在课堂上通过棋盘游戏让学生了解气候变化, 故C项“棋盘游戏帮助学生理解气候问题”最适合作本文的标题。

【主题语境】人与自然
【文章大意】短文介绍了如何让宠物鸟保持安静。
1．根据下文“Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening.(大多数鸟都会发出一些声音，不是唱歌就是叫。鸟类在早上醒着的时候和晚上睡觉前往往是最大声的。)”可知，本段主要介绍要了解鸟儿的行为。故A选项“了解鸟的行为”切题，为本段的标题。故选A项。
2．根据上文“Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling.(当你的鸟吹口哨或低语时，赞美它，而不是尖叫或吼叫。)”可知，选项承接上文说明其对哪种鸟类有作用。故C选项“这可能对鹦鹉特别有用”切题。故选C项。
3．根据上文“Furthermore, it’s important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird.(此外，当你和你的鸟交流时，保持冷静和温和的语气是很重要的。)”可知，选项承接上文具体说明保持冷静和温和的语气。故F选项“不要提高你的声音来回应你的鸟的音量或音调”切题。故选F项。
4．根据上文“Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated.(避免快速移动。有可能是你或你家里的人在你的鸟周围移动得太快，导致他感到焦虑或过度刺激。)”可知，选项承接上文说明在鸟周围缓慢移动的重要性。故G选项“慢慢地在你的鸟周围移动，并鼓励其他人也这样做。”切题。故选G项。
5．根据上文“Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call.( 给你的鸟一个舒适和安全的环境。野外的鸟类参与“鸟鸣”，作为与其他鸟类交流和确保鸟群安全的一种方式。如果你离开房间时，你的鸟可能会吱吱叫，这可能是它试图向你发出鸟鸣。)”可知，上文提到要采取一些措施来确保鸟感到安全和舒适。所以建议通过模仿鸟的叫声来回应, 是一种提供安全感的方式，因为它可能被鸟理解为一种群体间的交流，表明它并不孤单。故E选项“试着用叫声回应，让他知道你很安全”切题。故选E项。

30. A 母亲常说，评判一个人不要看他的脸，要看他的田地。因为在农村，田地是人们劳作和生活的重要部分，通过一个人对田地的经营可以看出他的勤劳等品质。“fields”符合农村生活的语境。“books”意为“书籍”；“neighbours”意为“邻居”；“clothes”意为“衣服”，都与农村评判一个人的标准无关。

【主题语境】人与社会——社会生活与可持续发展
【文章大意】文章以 27 岁的陈女士为例，讲述了她参与 “stooping”（从街上捡拾可再利用的被遗弃物品）这一行为，以及 “stooping” 这一概念在中国的发展情况，包括陈女士通过社交媒体分享物品信息，到后来相关应用程序的出现等。
36. searching 此处考查非谓语动词。“search”与句子主语“Ms. Chen”之间是主动关系，“Ms. Chen”在漫步的同时“搜索”可重复使用的被遗弃物品，所以用现在分词作伴随状语，故填searching。
37. adopters 名词复数 “one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是固定结构，表示“……中最……之一”，所以这里要用“adopter”的复数形式“adopters”，表示“采纳者；接受者”，故填adopters。
38. but 连词 “discarded”（被遗弃的）和“usable”（可用的）之间是转折关系，意思是从街上捡起被遗弃但还能用的物品，故填but。
39. who/that 考查定语从句。先行词是“people”，在从句“often leave unwanted but functional items on their front steps”中作主语，所以用关系代词who或that引导定语从句，故填who/that。
40. to take “for sb. to do sth.”是固定结构，在句中作目的状语，表示“为了让某人做某事”，这里表示为了让其他人拿走（这些物品），故填to take。
41. as “see...as...”是固定短语，意为“把……看作……”，这里表示她把“stooping”看作是一种防止浪费的方式，故填as。
42. quickly 这里需要用副词来修饰动词“started”，“quick”的副词形式是“quickly”，表示“很快地”，故填quickly。
43. has grown 根据“since then”（从那时起）可知，句子要用现在完成时态，“the idea of stooping”是单数主语，所以谓语动词用“has grown”，表示“（这种观念）已经变得越来越流行”，故填has grown。
44. was created “an app”与“create”之间是被动关系，且根据“A few months ago”可知，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were + 过去分词”，主语“an app”是单数，所以用“was created”，表示“一个应用程序被创建”，故填was created。
45. enjoyable 用形容词来修饰名词“activity”，“enjoy”的形容词形式是“enjoyable”，表示“令人愉快的”，故填enjoyable。
第三节 请用括号内单词的适当形式填空。

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. Support from a boat company. B. Sufferings from her back pain.
C. A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat. D. Stories of some women adventurers.
7. What kind of person is Davies
A. Caring and open-minded. B. Humble and self-motivated.
C. Determined and easy-going. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.

Trying to imagine white sheep, jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known solution for sleeplessness. I don’t have the problem often, but I’ve often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore yourself to sleep, why not count backward And who decided on sheep Why not rabbits, horses or kangaroos
History supposedly provides the answer: It was said to be a way for ancient shepherds (牧羊人) short of human company for weeks at a time, to fall asleep each night—they counted their sheep until sleepy. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know.
So does counting sheep really help you fall asleep A 2002 study on fighting sleeplessness put the way to the test. In fact, that wasn’t the point of the research. “Our study more than 20 years ago wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery (图像) to fight sleeplessness,” said Harvey, who conducted the research.
Harvey’s research divided 50 people into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable than people in the distraction or no instruction group.
While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of treating sleeplessness, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep expert. “Counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “Instead, we work out a menu of options with people, because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time.” Over two decades later, Harvey still emphasizes that using one’s imagination is a top tip.
8. Why did the author mention other animals in paragraph 1
A. To stress the equality of all animals.
B. To show his doubt about the solution.
C. To prove the effect of counting sheep.
D. To confirm his assumption about sleep.
9. What’s the focus of the study in 2002
A. Sleeping habits. B. Testing methods.
C. Counting sheep. D. Using imagination.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. Imagining scenes may help in sleep.
B. Counting sheep cures sleeplessness.
C. Falling asleep faster removes worries.
D. Rating thoughts can be uncomfortable.
11. Which of the following would Harvey most probably agree with
A. Offering a nutritious menu for sleepless people.
B. Regarding all traditional methods as ineffective.
C. Suggesting a customized plan for each individual.
D. Supporting the use of imagination as the only way.

Djukic is a biology and chemistry student. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change.
Debra Rosenthal is the professor of the class. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just like: ‘This is interesting, but how much are we actually going to take away from it ’ ”
Rosenthal thought her students would gain a greater understanding about how their own ideas and experiences affected climate change. Students do not compete against each other. They work together to choose the best plan of action. The game is different from board games such as Monopoly, where the goal is to win. Rosenthal said she hoped the games would give students a chance to talk about climate change in a new way.
“Playing the games is a way to be social, to engage in conversation. There has to be a lot of energy around the table. It’s very collaborative. And in the game that I chose to play, they really were able to work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet was not destroyed.”
During the class, she said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a “way to have fun... while also learning about such a serious subject”.
The games are global, Djukic said. That is because she and her classmates said they were able to see how one player’s decision about agriculture affected another player on the other side of the world.
She said the games showed her that “in the game of climate change and the climate crisis, no individual wins”. “It’s either we all suffer from this, or we all somehow collaborate to work our way out of this and turn the clock back on climate change.”
12. What is the purpose of Rosenthal’s class arrangement
A. To inspire the competition among students.
B. To entertain the students with the board game.
C. To stress the serious damage caused by climate change.
D. To encourage students’ viewpoints about climate change.
13. Which best describes the board game according to paragraph 4
A. Cooperative. B. Competitive. C. Creative. D. Destructive.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Man with strong will can conquer nature.
B. The world is a community of shared future.
C. Climate change is a tough problem to solve.
D. Agriculture is of vital importance to the world.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Climate change calls for teamwork.
B. Climate change leads to the global impact.
C. A board game helps students understand climate issues.
D. A good English teacher gives students lifelong benefits.

Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫).
16 Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable.
Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. 17 It’s often easier to teach them soft-spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it’s important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. 18 Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage.
Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. 19 If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in.
Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. 20
A．Understand bird behavior.
B．Train your bird to be quiet.
C．This may be especially useful for parrots.
D．Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love.
E．Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe.
F．Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone.
G．Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same.
