But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated. Meanwhile, many of us are longing for the warmth of a hug after long stretches of social isolation. Humans biologically need touch, and a good long hug is one of the best ways to get it. Degge White, a professor at Northern Illinois University, says that our need for a hug goes all the way back to the survival of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. ____2____ “When we hug, our brains release oxytocin, the bonding hormone (荷尔蒙), as well as serotonin and endorphins.” ____3____ Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization. As a result, our brains need each other—and when we miss out, it can have psychological repercussions (心理影响). “When we can’t hug, we don’t get that feeling of good hormones.” We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. ____4____ An air greeting is not enough. Research published in the journal Psychological Science has shown that hugging has a “stress buffering (缓冲)” effect that may even protect us from illness and infections. Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant. In both cases, when children don’t experience healthy touch, it can impact their development. Kids who didn’t grow up being held miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or isolate from those around them. ____5____ Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home. A. In some cases, the opposite may also be true. B. This bond and sense of community has an important role. C. We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner. D. It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness. E. When friends reach out in preparation for a hug, they feel hormones increasing. F. We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortable hug. G. The lack of touching might imply cold attitudes in interpersonal relationships. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. B 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是我们为什么需要拥抱。 【16题详解】 空前说“To hug or not to hug That’s the question right now.(拥抱还是不拥抱?这就是现在的问题。)”,空后说“Depending on where you live, many of us are vaccinated (打疫苗). But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated.(取决于你生活的地方,我们中的许多人都接种了疫苗,但在你拥抱之前,很难确定你要拥抱的人是否接种了疫苗。)”,因此空格处应该说我们现在对于要不要采用拥抱这种问候方式是不确定的,C选项“We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner.(在问候方式的世界里,我们处在一个不确定的位置。)”说明了我们处在不确定的位置,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选C。 【17题详解】 空前说“When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive.(当我们出生时,我们不能照顾自己,为了生存,我们需要舒服地被抱着。)”,空格处应该说我们被抱着时会有什么感觉,F选项“We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortable hug.(一个舒适的拥抱会给我们带来一种感觉良好的化学物质。)”说明了我们被抱着会有什么感觉,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。 【18题详解】 空后说“Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization.(因为对于人类来说,我们的小群体和后来的社区的安全对生存非常重要。)”,空格处应该说人们之间的联系很重要,B选项“This bond and sense of community has an important role.(这种纽带和社区意识有着重要的作用。)”引起下文人们之间的联系很重要,因此符合语境,故选B。 【19题详解】 空前说“We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it.(我们可能不知道用拥抱问候我们的朋友和家人会得到什么;我们只是享受它。)”,空格处应该说明如果我们有一天没有了拥抱会怎么样,D选项“It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness.(直到这些经历消失,我们才会感到痛苦和悲伤。)”说明了我们没有了拥抱会觉得痛苦,“痛苦”和前面的“享受”相对应,故选D。 【20题详解】 空前“Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant.(有些人在比较正式的家庭中长大,拥抱并不常见。其他人可能会经历虐待,让拥抱变得不愉快。)”,空后说“Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.(有些孩子可能会表现出太多的爱,渴望他们在家里没有得到的任何形式的积极关注。)”,空格处应该是引起转折的,A选项“In some cases, the opposite may also be true.(在某些情况下,反过来也可能是真的。)”引出了和空前内容相反的下文,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选A。 二、完形填空 My daughter loved dancing until she didn’t love it.

Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable. Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide release. After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers. Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it. 1. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2 A. The functions of this particular cement. B. The effects of food waste in the whole world. C. The characteristics of the newly made cement. D. The process of transforming food waste to cement. 2.

The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable. (这是第一个完全从食物垃圾中制造水泥的过程。研究人员表示,他们的产品的强度是传统混凝土的四倍。这种特殊的水泥也可以用来制作茶杯或椅子之类的东西。然而,它还有一个额外的特点——它也是可以吃的。)”可知,这两段主要讨论了新制水泥的特点。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. (Kota和Yuya是Fabula公司成立背后的智慧,这家公司的宗旨是减少食物浪费,帮助对抗全球变暖。)”可知,Kota和Yuya利用食物垃圾是为了应对全球气候变化。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures. (最具挑战性的部分是每种食物垃圾需要不同的温度。)”可知,需要不断调节温度让从食物垃圾中制造水泥的实验变得更加困难。故选D项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. (他们的产品可以在灾难中以可食用的紧急避难所的形式提供救济。)”说明他们的产品可以用作临时紧急避难所,从而推知划线词句“For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement. (例如,如果食物不能送到人们手中,他们可以吃用食品水泥做成的makeshift床。)”其中划线词汇意思为“临时的,暂时的”,即:如果赈灾食品不能及时到位,被困人员可以吃食品水泥做成的临时床救急,故选D项。 B Advanced technology brings with it a lot of benefits to us. You can now prevent the speech of a single target person from being recorded by using a device called voice jammer. Voice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively remove unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的). Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping (窃听) on conversations by broadcasting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot. This can prevent nearby people’s phones from picking up their voices if they try to make a call, and can stop them interacting with smart assistants, warning that something strange is going on. Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else. They did this by training an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate (隔断) a speaker’s voice, allowing the jammer to create an inverse sound matched to their speech. Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice. The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful. 1. How do voice jammers prevent a speech from being recorded A. By playing inverse sound waves. B. By interacting with smart assistants. C. By keeping wave pattern unchanged. D. By broadcasting different sound waves. 2. What does Paragraph 6 focus on A. Stressing the importance of NEC. B. Showing the steps of using NEC. C. Describing the disadvantages of NEC. D. Explaining the working theory of NEC. 3. What does the passage mainly talk about A. The NEC blocking voices. B. A device against eavesdropping. C. A bug playing inverse sound waves. D. The technology changing the speech. 4. What might be discussed in the following paragraph A. Disadvantages of voice jammers. B. Public opinions on voice jammers. C.Further development of voice jammers. D. Potential applications of voice jammers. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是一项叫NEC的声音干扰器的相关信息。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Voice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively remove unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的).(语音干扰器的工作原理很像降噪耳机,通过反向播放不需要的声音的副本,有效地消除了不需要的背景声波。)”可知,语音干扰器是通过播放反向声波来防止讲话被录音,故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段的“Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.(他们的工具叫做NEC,并不是发送可听到的声音,而是利用了除了最昂贵的麦克风之外所有麦克风都存在的一个漏洞。此错误在麦克风的录音频率上下设定的距离引入声音。NEC能够在超声波范围内播放逆语音,这样人类就听不到了。在录音时这样做可以提供必要的频率来秘密地屏蔽声音。)”可知,第6段主要阐述了NEC的工作原理。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第五段的“Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else.(现在,密歇根州立大学的严启本和他的同事们发明了一种声音干扰器,可以针对特定的声音,而不会打断其他人。)”和第六段的“Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones.(他们的工具叫做NEC,并不是发送可听到的声音,而是利用了除了最昂贵的麦克风之外所有麦克风都存在的一个漏洞。)”可知,本文主要介绍了一项叫NEC的声音干扰器的相关信息,故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful.(研究小组发现,NEC在苹果、小米和三星的一系列智能手机上屏蔽了高达3.6米的声音。这项技术可能很有用。)”可知,接下来的一段可能会介绍语音干扰器的潜在应用。故选D。 二、写作 (满分15分) 假定你是李华,报名参加学校“Be Sporty, Be Healthy”为主题的演讲比赛。请你写一份英文演讲稿。内容包括: 1.问题:因学业紧张,疏于活动; 2.建议:要合理安排,正常锻炼。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80左右,文章标题和首尾句已给出,不计入总词数; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Be Sporty, Be Healthy Hello, everyone!
