It was a cold， rainy day， and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house.But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was， unwillingly making the two-hour journey through heavy fog.By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit， I’d gone too far to turn back.Nothing could be worth this， I thought as I drove along the dangerous highway.
We parked the car and got out.We walked along a path that was thick with old trees.Gradually， the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.Then we turned a corner and stopped — and I gasped in amazement.
On the top of the mountain were rivers of different flowers.A variety of colours were shining like a carpet before us.And as if this beauty were not enough， western bluebirds were singing in the trees.
Some questions filled my mind.Who created such beauty？ Why？ How？
As we approached the home， we saw a sign that read：“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was：“One Woman — Two Hands， Two Feet， and Very Little Brain.” The second was：“One at a Time.” The third：“Started in 1958.”
As we drove home， I was so moved by what we had seen.“She changed the world，” I finally said， “One flower at a time.She started almost 40 years ago， probably just the beginning of an idea， but she kept at it.”
The wonder of it would not let me go.“Imagine，” I said，“if I’d had a vision and worked at it， just a little bit every day， what might I have accomplished？” Carolyn looked at me， smiling.“Start tomorrow，” she said.“Better yet， start today.”
24.How did the author feel when he/she nearly reached the top of the mountain？
A.Tired but happy. B.Unhappy and regretful.
C.Tired and anxious. D.Excited and surprised.
25.What surprised the author on the top of the mountain？
A.Some questions. B.The great woman.
C.The mysterious sign. D.The beauty of the scenery.
26.What’s the purpose of the sign the author saw？
A.To show the direction. B.To provide some advice.
C.To offer some inspiration. D.To answer some questions.
27.What does the author mainly want to share by writing the text？
A.The power of sticking to a goal. B.The importance of starting now.
C.The importance of working hard. D.The power of thinking up an idea.

In many Asian cultures， ear cleaning is an act of care and love that’s been around for centuries. The gentle practice of removing the sticky stuff in your ear holes is seen as a relaxing， loving household ritual depicted in Japan Edo-era woodcut prints and cartoons of wives who would clean their husbands’ ears or of mothers who would clean their children’s ears.
Even though we’re super obsessed with getting rid of earwax （耳垢）， many ear， nose， and throat doctors say that earwax is best left alone. In fact， your earwax can tell quite a bit about you. For instance， most of us fall into two main groups of earwax types： wet or dry. What type you have links back to your genetics.
In 2006 a Nature Genetics study identified a specific gene that was responsible for earwax type， and found that wet earwax was the more dominant trait than dry. The study also explained that wet earwax is more commonly found in populations of Europe and Africa， while dry earwax is extremely common in East Asians （of course， there are exceptions）. The scent （气味） of your earwax can reflect the health condition of your ear.
Earwax is a defensive lubricant， filled with antibacterial and antifungal proteins that helps keep the ear healthy. As a rule of thumb， ear， nose， and throat doctors recommend not trying to clear out your earwax if it’s bothering you （please， put down those cotton swabs）.
However， too much earwax can be a bad thing. There are instances where earwax should be checked and removed by medical professionals. If you’re experiencing any pain in the inner ear， doctors sometimes need to clear out earwax to take a look at your eardrums to ensure there isn’t any damage. It’s particularly important for people who wear hearing aids or hearing assistive devices to get their ears regularly cleaned to prevent severe impactions.
28.What is getting rid of earwax commonly associated with in Japan？
A.Keeping clean. B.Staying healthy.
C.Showing affection. D.Providing support.
29.What’s many doctors’ attitude toward clearing out our earwax？
A.Doubtful. B.Opposed.
C.Approving. D.Ambiguous.
30.What did the Nature Genetics study in 2006 find？
A.Dry earwax is generally superior to wet earwax.
B.People usually have wet earwax in Asian countries.
C.The smell of earwax can tell us about our health.
D.Our earwax types are decided by our environment.
31.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？
A.To offer a supplement. B.To introduce a new topic.
C.To provide more evidence. D.To make a final conclusion.
D
Pablo Picasso， J.K. Rowling， Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre， Bob Dylan — whether they’re painters， singer-songwriters， philosophers or writers， people across nations and centuries have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café.
A low-to-moderate level of noise in a place like a cafeteria can actually boost your creative output.The idea is that if you’re very slightly distracted from the task at hand by ambient stimuli （环境刺激）， it boosts your abstract thinking ability， which can lead to more creative ideas.
While that “Goldilocks” level of noise is different for everyone， audio stimuli in the background also help us improve decision-making.Some have even dubbed “the coffee shop effect”.So， the jazz music and light conversation aren’t a nuisance — they could help you come up with your next great idea.
A 2016 study backed up this idea when researchers asked participants sitting next to each other in front of a computer to do a task on the same screen.The study showed that “simply performing a task next to a person who puts a lot of effort into a task will make you do the same”.
One of the biggest things about coffee shops is the social-facilitation effect： You go there， you see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well.Just observing them can motivate you to work harder.
Visual variety helps in solving a problem that has a better solution， but requires you to think outside the box.
People come and go.The daylight changes.The tastes of coffee and food vary.While we tend not to take conscious notice of these micro-stimuli， and likely don’t choose to work in this location because of them， these activities around us make our brains to work a bit differently than at home.Experts say these café settings can also benefit work groups who are brainstorming.
32.Why does the author mention some famous people in the first paragraph？
A.To tell us celebrities are creative. B.To tell us how to become creative.
C.To show the popularity of coffee shops. D.To show the positive effects of coffee shops.
33.What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A.Something unpleasant. B.Something uncommon.
C.Something unimportant. D.Something uninteresting.
34.What does the social-facilitation effect tell us？
A.We like working together with others. B.We need motivation to achieve a task.
C.We are influenced by the environment. D.We have an effect on people around us.
35.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Why Many People Go to Coffee Shops B.How Coffee Improves Our Work Efficiency
C.Why You Are More Creative in Coffee Shops D.How People Get Things Done in Coffee Shops

One in four Australians are lonely， our new report has found.And it’s not just a problem among older Australians — it affects almost all age groups.
The Australian Loneliness Report， released today by my colleagues and me at the Australian Psychological Society， found more than one in four （27.6%） feel lonely for three or more days in a week.
36 We used a comprehensive measure of loneliness to assess how it relates to mental health and physical health outcomes.
37 Perhaps unsurprisingly， Australians who are married or in a relationship are the least lonely， compared to those who are single， separated or divorced.
While Australians are reasonably connected to their friends and families， they don’t have the same relationships with their neighbours.Almost half of Australians （47%） reported not having neighbours to call on for help.
Loneliness increases a person’s likelihood of experiencing depression by 15.2% and the likelihood of social anxiety increases by 13.1%. 38 Interestingly， Australians over 65 were less lonely， less socially anxious， and less depressed than younger Australians.This is consistent with previous studies that show older people do better on particular mental health and well-being indicators （指标）. 39
For some people， simple solutions such as joining shared interest groups or shared experienced groups may help alleviate their loneliness. 40 We need a campaign to end loneliness for all Australians.Campaigns can raise awareness and empower not just the lonely person but also those around them.
A.Being lonely is harmful to our health.
B.There are some things we can do to help them.
C.But for others， there are more barriers to overcome.
D.Those who are lonelier also report being more socially anxious.
E.Our results come from a survey of 1，678 Australians from across the nation.
F.Younger adults， on the other hand， reported more social anxiety than older Australians.
G.We found nearly 55% of the population feel they lack companionship at least sometimes.

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。
In the blink of an eye， an ordinary day can become one that could change your life forever. No one expects it， and， most of all， no one knows how they would react in a particular instance. On 2 May 2021， Jonathan Bauer was about to find out how quickly that instance can come.
It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast， and Jonathan Bauer， 51， a technology executive at a hospital， and his 13-year-old daughter， Ava， were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home on the 1.4-mile， two-lane Route 90 bridge. Suddenly， the calm was disturbed by the noise of tires （轮胎）.
Not far ahead of them， a black pickup was rushing from one lane to the other， and came to rest dangling over the railing （栏杆） of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.
Bauer stopped the car. “Ava， are you OK？” he asked. She was shaken， but otherwise unhurt.
And then a scream. It came from the pickup， which had come to rest on its right side. The driver’s door opened and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground， then ran to the railing. Bauer ran up beside him. The man pointed down， saying something in Spanish. In the water was a car seat. Next to it was a girl about two years old， floating on her back， kicking and splashing and screaming.
From around the truck， more screaming from its other passengers who were looking down into the water. Matters quickly went from bad to frightening. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something， but he didn’t. Maybe he was in shock.
“Ava！” Bauer yelled， removing his shoes. “Stay by the car and call 911！”
He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for. And were there any rocks in the water？ He’d soon find out.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
He climbed onto the railing and jumped into the water.
To people’s great joy， a helicopter arrived a few minutes later.

I moved into a new house last week. It’s on the side of a mountain. At the back of my house there are rice fields. There’s a house next door to mine and it has a barking dog. Luckily， I like dogs and this dog loves me. He welcomes me home every day， which makes me feel good.
The house is not big， with one story. When you go in the door there is a hallway for taking off shoes and coat. Then you are in a bright living room. There is what I call a work area. It’s where I have my computer and some books and research stuff. The kitchen is large. I have everything because I enjoy cooking. It relaxes me after a hard day at work. I’m thinking of buying a new bigger fridge because my fridge is too small， and because in the country I can’t do shopping as often. By the time I get out of work， most of the shops around here are closed. The shower room and the bathroom are separated. There is a washing machine in my bathroom. I can’t live without it.
I’m having a housewarming party this Sunday. Welcome to join it！

He climbed onto the railing and jumped into the water. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom — unhurt！ The little girl was less than 10 feet away. Bauer swam to her as quickly as possible and lifted her out of the water： mouth half open， eyes nearly closed， not breathing. Holding her up and hitting her back， he made the little girl spit out water. After a while， her eyes opened and focused on him. He pulled her close， hugging her to protect her from the cold.
To people’s great joy， a helicopter arrived a few minutes later. The rescue workers helped Bauer and the little girl out of the water and pulled them aboard. The girl was sent to hospital immediately. As soon as Bauer came back to the bridge， he was surrounded by excited people， clapping his heroic behaviour enthusiastically. “You are amazing！ You are simply a hero and a superman！” they shouted. “It’s nothing. I have just done what every citizen should do，” said Bauer modestly.

new apartment near Alden Park. I live alone， and it’s just a little too
quiet.
W：Quiet is usually good.
M：Yeah， but I don’t like to live alone. In Hong Kong I lived in a big
apartment with my grandparents， my parents， my sister and brother. It
was noisy， but it was home. We ate dinner together and we talked
together. I miss them.
W：It seems you’re a little homesick. I know some good Chinese
restaurants around here. I’ll write down a few names. You can try them.
M：Sure， thanks. Sounds good.
（Text 10）
I moved into a new house last week. It’s on the side of a mountain.
At the back of my house there are rice fields. There’s a house next door
to mine and it has a barking dog. Luckily， I like dogs and this dog loves
me. He welcomes me home every day， which makes me feel good.
The house is not big， with one story. When you go in the door there
is a hallway for taking off shoes and coat. Then you are in a bright living
room. There is what I call a work area. It’s where I have my computer
and some books and research stuff. The kitchen is large. I have everything
because I enjoy cooking. It relaxes me after a hard day at work. I’m
thinking of buying a new bigger fridge because my fridge is too small，
and because in the country I can’t do shopping as often. By the time I get
out of work， most of the shops around here are closed. The shower room
and the bathroom are separated. There is a washing machine in my
bathroom. I can’t live without it.
I’m having a housewarming party this Sunday. Welcome to join it！

It was a cold， rainy day， and I had no desire to drive up the
winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house.But she had
insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was， unwillingly making the two-hour journey through
heavy fog.By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit， I’d gone
too far to turn back.Nothing could be worth this， I thought as I drove
along the dangerous highway.
We parked the car and got out.We walked along a path that was thick
with old trees.Gradually， the peace and silence of the place began to fill
my mind.Then we turned a corner and stopped — and I gasped in
amazement.
On the top of the mountain were rivers of different flowers.A variety
of colours were shining like a carpet before us.And as if this beauty were
not enough， western bluebirds were singing in the trees.
Some questions filled my mind.Who created such beauty？ Why？
How？
As we approached the home， we saw a sign that read：“Answers
to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was：“One
Woman — Two Hands， Two Feet， and Very Little Brain.” The second
was：“One at a Time.” The third：“Started in 1958.”
As we drove home， I was so moved by what we had seen.“She
changed the world，” I finally said， “One flower at a time.She started
almost 40 years ago， probably just the beginning of an idea， but she
kept at it.”
The wonder of it would not let me go.“Imagine，” I said，“if
I’d had a vision and worked at it， just a little bit every day， what might
I have accomplished？” Carolyn looked at me， smiling.“Start
tomorrow，” she said.“Better yet， start today.”

In many Asian cultures， ear cleaning is an act of care and love
that’s been around for centuries. The gentle practice of removing the
sticky stuff in your ear holes is seen as a relaxing， loving household ritual
depicted in Japan Edo-era woodcut prints and cartoons of wives who would
clean their husbands’ ears or of mothers who would clean their
children’s ears.
Even though we’re super obsessed with getting rid of earwax （耳
垢）， many ear， nose， and throat doctors say that earwax is best left
alone. In fact， your earwax can tell quite a bit about you. For instance，
most of us fall into two main groups of earwax types： wet or dry. What
type you have links back to your genetics.
In 2006 a Nature Genetics study identified a specific gene that was
responsible for earwax type， and found that wet earwax was the more
dominant trait than dry. The study also explained that wet earwax is more
commonly found in populations of Europe and Africa， while dry earwax
is extremely common in East Asians （of course， there are exceptions）.
The scent （气味） of your earwax can reflect the health condition of your
ear.
Earwax is a defensive lubricant， filled with antibacterial and
antifungal proteins that helps keep the ear healthy. As a rule of thumb，
ear， nose， and throat doctors recommend not trying to clear out your
earwax if it’s bothering you （please， put down those cotton swabs）.
However， too much earwax can be a bad thing. There are instances
where earwax should be checked and removed by medical professionals. If
you’re experiencing any pain in the inner ear， doctors sometimes need
to clear out earwax to take a look at your eardrums to ensure there isn’t
any damage. It’s particularly important for people who wear hearing aids
or hearing assistive devices to get their ears regularly cleaned to prevent
severe impactions.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们在日常生活中都有掏耳朵的习
惯，可是，医学专家并不提倡我们这么做。

惯，可是，医学专家并不提倡我们这么做。

A. Keeping clean. B. Staying healthy.
C. Showing affection. D. Providing support.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，在许多亚洲文化中，
清洁耳朵是一种呵护和示爱的行为，这尤其体现在日本江户时代
的木刻版画和漫画中——它们往往描绘的是妻子为丈夫清洁耳朵
或母亲为孩子清洁耳朵的情景。
29. What’s many doctors’ attitude toward clearing out our earwax？
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed.
C. Approving. D. Ambiguous.
解析： 观点态度题。根据第二段可知，尽管我们对清除耳垢
非常着迷，但许多耳鼻喉科医生说，最好不要去理会耳垢。
30. What did the Nature Genetics study in 2006 find？
A. Dry earwax is generally superior to wet earwax.
B. People usually have wet earwax in Asian countries.
C. The smell of earwax can tell us about our health.
D. Our earwax types are decided by our environment.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，2006年《自然遗传
学》的一项研究发现了一种与耳垢类型有关的特定基因，并发现
湿耳垢比干耳垢更占优势；同时，该研究还解释说，湿耳垢在欧
洲和非洲人群中更为常见，而干耳垢在东亚人中极为常见；另
外，耳垢的气味会告诉你耳朵的健康状况。
31. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？
A. To offer a supplement.
B. To introduce a new topic.
C. To provide more evidence.
D. To make a final conclusion.
解析： 推理判断题。上文反复强调的一个观点是：我们没必
要去清除耳垢。而最后一段作者对上文进行了补充说明：然而，
太多的耳垢可能是一件坏事。有些情况下，耳垢应该由医疗专业
人员检查和清除。

Pablo Picasso， J. K. Rowling， Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul
Sartre， Bob Dylan — whether they’re painters， singer-songwriters，
philosophers or writers， people across nations and centuries have tapped
into their creativity working away at a table in a café.
A low-to-moderate level of noise in a place like a cafeteria can
actually boost your creative output.The idea is that if you’re very slightly
distracted from the task at hand by ambient stimuli （环境刺激）， it
boosts your abstract thinking ability， which can lead to more creative
ideas.
While that “Goldilocks” level of noise is different for everyone，
audio stimuli in the background also help us improve decision-
making.Some have even dubbed “the coffee shop effect”.So， the jazz
music and light conversation aren’t a nuisance — they could help you
come up with your next great idea.
A 2016 study backed up this idea when researchers asked participants
sitting next to each other in front of a computer to do a task on the same
screen.The study showed that “simply performing a task next to a person
who puts a lot of effort into a task will make you do the same”.
One of the biggest things about coffee shops is the social-facilitation
effect： You go there， you see other people working and it puts you in a
mood where you just naturally start working as well.Just observing them
can motivate you to work harder.
Visual variety helps in solving a problem that has a better solution，
but requires you to think outside the box.
People come and go.The daylight changes.The tastes of coffee and
food vary.While we tend not to take conscious notice of these micro-
stimuli， and likely don’t choose to work in this location because of
them， these activities around us make our brains to work a bit differently
than at home.Experts say these café settings can also benefit work groups
who are brainstorming.

One in four Australians are lonely， our new report has
found.And it’s not just a problem among older Australians — it
affects almost all age groups.
The Australian Loneliness Report， released today by my
colleagues and me at the Australian Psychological Society， found
more than one in four （27.6%） feel lonely for three or more days in
a week.
36 We used a comprehensive measure of loneliness to assess
how it relates to mental health and physical health outcomes.
37 Perhaps unsurprisingly， Australians who are married or
in a relationship are the least lonely， compared to those who are
single， separated or divorced.
While Australians are reasonably connected to their friends and
families， they don’t have the same relationships with their
neighbours.Almost half of Australians （47%） reported not having
neighbours to call on for help.
Loneliness increases a person’s likelihood of experiencing
depression by 15.2% and the likelihood of social anxiety increases by
13.1%. 38 Interestingly， Australians over 65 were less lonely，
less socially anxious， and less depressed than younger
Australians.This is consistent with previous studies that show older
people do better on particular mental health and well-being indicators
（指标）. 39
For some people， simple solutions such as joining shared
interest groups or shared experienced groups may help alleviate their
loneliness. 40 We need a campaign to end loneliness for all
Australians.Campaigns can raise awareness and empower not just the
lonely person but also those around them.
A. Being lonely is harmful to our health.
B. There are some things we can do to help them.
C. But for others， there are more barriers to overcome.
D. Those who are lonelier also report being more socially anxious.
E. Our results come from a survey of 1，678 Australians from across
the nation.
F. Younger adults， on the other hand， reported more social anxiety
than older Australians.
G. We found nearly 55% of the population feel they lack
companionship at least sometimes.

58. his 考查代词。名词music前应用形容词性物主代词。故填
his。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
In the blink of an eye， an ordinary day can become one that could
change your life forever. No one expects it， and， most of all， no one
knows how they would react in a particular instance. On 2 May 2021，
Jonathan Bauer was about to find out how quickly that instance can come.
It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast， and
Jonathan Bauer， 51， a technology executive at a hospital， and his 13-
year-old daughter， Ava， were taking full advantage of it. They were
driving with the windows down as they headed home on the 1.4-mile，
two-lane Route 90 bridge. Suddenly， the calm was disturbed by the noise
of tires （轮胎）.
Not far ahead of them， a black pickup was rushing from one lane to
the other， and came to rest dangling over the railing （栏杆） of the
bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.
Bauer stopped the car. “Ava， are you OK？” he asked. She was
shaken， but otherwise unhurt.
And then a scream. It came from the pickup， which had come to rest
on its right side. The driver’s door opened and a man climbed out. He
dropped to the ground， then ran to the railing. Bauer ran up beside him.
The man pointed down， saying something in Spanish. In the water was a
car seat. Next to it was a girl about two years old， floating on her back，
kicking and splashing and screaming.
From around the truck， more screaming from its other passengers
who were looking down into the water. Matters quickly went from bad to
frightening. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something， but he
didn’t. Maybe he was in shock.
“Ava！” Bauer yelled， removing his shoes. “Stay by the car and
call 911！”
He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into
such shallow water. Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for.
And were there any rocks in the water？ He’d soon find out.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
He climbed onto the railing and jumped into the water.
To people’s great joy， a helicopter arrived a few minutes later.
参考范文：
He climbed onto the railing and jumped into the water. A moment
later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom — unhurt！ The little girl was
less than 10 feet away. Bauer swam to her as quickly as possible and lifted
her out of the water： mouth half open， eyes nearly closed， not
breathing. Holding her up and hitting her back， he made the little girl spit
out water. After a while， her eyes opened and focused on him. He pulled
her close， hugging her to protect her from the cold.
To people’s great joy， a helicopter arrived a few minutes later. The
rescue workers helped Bauer and the little girl out of the water and pulled
them aboard. The girl was sent to hospital immediately. As soon as Bauer
came back to the bridge， he was surrounded by excited people， clapping
his heroic behaviour enthusiastically. “You are amazing！ You are
simply a hero and a superman！” they shouted. “It’s nothing. I have
just done what every citizen should do，” said Bauer modestly.
谢谢观看！
