Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.
"For the teenager, 'the rewards are attractive." says Professor Jatin Vaidya,an author of the study. "They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults ."
For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情)so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology," Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”
In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive(冲动的),make bad decisions,and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶)of their trains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.
"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from childhood to adulthood," Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,” he adds. For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological(神经学上的)aspects of their results.
24. What does the passage mainly tell us?

B. Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
C. Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.

Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville.

In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.

Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.
In 203,Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin,” said Lakhani.“It’s difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only$1.50 every day, you won’t spend $1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don’t stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from, they don’t know how to prevent them, including using soap.”
After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely-used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help,” he explained.
Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.
Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 4 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661,000 people.“We are killing three birds with one stone,” Lakhani said.
When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said, “We’ve just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We’re looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”
32. Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don’t use soap?
A. Poverty. B. Inaccessibility. C. Unawareness. D. Tradition.
33. What does the underlined part “killing three birds” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.
B. Stopping pollution, proving jobs and inspiring donation.
C. Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.
D. Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.
34. What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?
A. It won’t be long before it expands to the whole world.
B. There’s little it can do without other countries’ assistance.
C. It will make greater contributions to the developing world.
D. It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.
B. Cambodian women have a bright future.
C. A US young man calls for helping poor countries.
D. Lack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.

In 203,Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin,” said Lakhani.“It’s difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only$1.50 every day, you won’t spend $1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don’t stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from, they don’t know how to prevent them, including using soap.”
After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely-used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help,” he explained.
Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.
Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs to 4 local women. And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661,000 people.“We are killing three birds with one stone,” Lakhani said.
When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank, Lakhani said, “We’ve just scratched the surface. Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia. The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done. We’re looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”
32. Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians don’t use soap?
A. Poverty. B. Inaccessibility. C. Unawareness. D. Tradition.
33. What does the underlined part “killing three birds” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Saving soap, curing diseases and providing education.
B. Stopping pollution, proving jobs and inspiring donation.
C. Reducing waste, providing employment and improving health.
D. Recycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.
34. What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank?
A. It won’t be long before it expands to the whole world.
B. There’s little it can do without other countries’ assistance.
C. It will make greater contributions to the developing world.
D. It will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Eco-Soap Bank helps improve hygiene.
B. Cambodian women have a bright future.
C. A US young man calls for helping poor countries.
D. Lack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过描述生态肥皂银行:Eco-Soap Bank对于促进柬埔寨农村卫生条件改善、促进就业以及废物利用的积极作用为例,说明了将来它会对改善发展中国家的卫生条件作出巨大贡献。
32.考查细节理解题。根据第二段First is affordability. If you earn only$1.50 every day, you won’t spend $1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that local shops don’t stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians don’t really understand where diseases come from, they don’t know how to prevent them, including using soap.”可知贫穷、香皂难购买以及没有使用意识是农村柬埔寨人不使用香皂的三点原因,其中并没有提到传统。故选D。
33.考查词义猜测题。第四段第二句Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.可知用这种方法为有残疾的柬埔寨女性提供了就业;倒数第二段倒数第二句And so far, some 174,000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24,000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661,000 people.可知废弃肥皂得到了回收,卫生健康得到了改善。故可推测划线部分指的是减少了浪费,提供了就业和改善了健康。故选C。
34.考查推理判断题。最后一段倒数第二句The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done.可知生态肥皂银行会对将来改善发展中国家的卫生条件作出巨大贡献。故选C。
35.考查主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容为叙述生态肥皂银行对于改善柬埔寨农村卫生条件为例,说明了生态肥皂银行将会对于将来发展中国家卫生条件的改善起到重大作用。故选A。

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一名抗疫工作者——齐文雪的事迹。在疫情期间匆匆举办婚礼,积极投身于抗议工作中。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:齐文雪,20世纪90年代出生,是中国东部山东省淄博市的一名社区工作者。分析可知,所填空应是非谓语,动词bear与主语之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填born。
62.考查介词和固定结构。句意:1月31日,在当地社区担任新型冠状病毒肺炎(covid19)防控官期间,他抽出时间与未婚妻任美娜举行了一场简单的婚礼。on duty,固定结构,意为“值班”。故填on。
63.考查动词不定式。句意:1月31日,在当地社区担任新型冠状病毒肺炎(covid19)防控官期间,他抽出时间与未婚妻任美娜举行了一场简单的婚礼。分析可知,所填空应是之前谓语“made time(腾出时间;抽空;争取时间)”的目的,应用动词不定式。故填to marry。
64.考查名词复数。句意:齐利用换班休息时间,开车把新娘送到婚礼地点——他的家,然后在一个简单的仪式之后马上回去工作。分析可知,shift,可数名词,意为“轮班”,应用复数形式。故填shifts。
65.考查冠词。句意:在婚礼前和婚礼后的几天里,齐某在家庭隔离期间作为从疫情中心武汉回来的人的联络人。分析可知,wedding为名词,之前需要冠词作限定词,且前文已经提及,此处应是特指,应用定冠词the。故填the。
66.考查定语从句。句意:在婚礼前和婚礼后的几天里,齐某在家庭隔离期间作为从疫情中心武汉回来的人的联络人。分析可知,__6___had come back from Wuhan为之前名词people的定语从句,先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词who引导。故填who。
67.考查时态。句意:到目前为止,新婚的新郎近半个月来一直忙于防疫工作,一天也没有休息。根据时间状语“So far”判断为现在完成时。故填has been。
68.考查反身代词。句意:然而,对于放弃与妻子共度浪漫之夜或与亲朋好友共进晚餐,以便投身于社区工作,齐并没有感到遗憾或抱怨。devote oneself to sth,“致力于某事”。故填himself。
69.考查动名词。句意:他说,能够保护社区居民,为防疫工作做出贡献,将使他的新婚生活更有意义。分析可知,所填空动词应是从句“___9___(be)able to protect the community residents and make a contribution to epidemic control work would make his new married life more ___10___(mean)”的主语,动名词作主语。故填being。
70.考查形容词。句意:他说,能够保护社区居民,为防疫工作做出贡献,将使他的新婚生活更有意义。分析可知,make sth+adj.形容词作宾语补足语。故填meaningful。

Spring is my favourite season of the year. The days are not so hot even though the sun shone brightly. The trees and grasses look greener. Whatever I look, I can see so many pretty flowers. It rains sometimes but not so much. We needn’t wear so many clothes to keeping ourselves warm. I like to play in my garden earlier in the morning. I feel energetically because it is clean and fresh on spring. On holidays, we would have the breakfast in the garden. It is pleasant to sit outside. They are so many things I like about spring. That is why is my favourite season.
【答案】1.shone →shine 2.grasses →grass 3.Whatever →Wherever 4.keeping →keep
5.earlier →early 6.energetically→energetic 7.on → in 8.删除 breakfast 前的 the 9.They →There 10.在 why 后加 it
【文章大意】本文讲述作者最喜欢的季节——春季
1.shone →shines。考查时态和主谓一致。根据本文的基本时态为一般现在时及此处表示的是一种客观情况可知,此处应用一般现在时;又因主语为 the sun,故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。
2.grasses →grass。考查名词单复数。grass 作"草,青草"讲时为不可数名词,无复数形式。
3.Whatever →Wherever。考查状语从句。"我"无论看哪里,都能看到许多漂亮的花。根据语境可知,此处应用 Wherever"无论在哪里"引导让步状语从句。
4.keeping →keep。考查非谓语动词。我们不必穿许多衣服来保暖。根据语境可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,句中的"to"为不定式符号,而非介词,故需用动词原形。
5.earlier →early。考查副词。"我"喜欢一大早就在花园里玩耍。语境无比较含义,故应用副词 early。early in the morning 意为"清晨,一大早"。
6.energetically→energetic。考查形容词。此处表示“我觉得精力充沛”feel是系动词后接形容词作表语。energetic“精力充沛的,充满活力的”。
7.on → in 考查介词。表示“在某年/月/季”这个含义时,须用介词in。in spring “在春天”,为固定表达,而on则通常跟具体的时间连用。
8.删除 breakfast 前的 the。考查冠词。have breakfast"吃早餐"为固定用法。
9.They →There。考查固定句型。关于春天"我"有很多喜欢的东西。根据语境及句子结构可知,此处为 there be 句型,故需把 They 改为 There。
10.在 why 后加 it。考查代词。那就是春天是"我"最喜欢的季节的原因。分析句子结构可知,why 在句中引导表语从句,且从句中缺少主语,故应用 it 指代上文中的"spring",作从句的主语。
第二节 书面表达(共25分)

One possible version:
Dear Alice,
How are things going? I am writing to tell you about the field trip I went on with my classmates last Saturday. We went to a wildlife park located in the mountains.
The activity aims to improve the students' awareness of wildlife protection. On arriving, we attended a lecture given by an expert on rare animals and their habitats. Next, we watched a short video about the endangered animals. What attracted me most was the visit to the panda research centre,where I saw several newly-born baby pandas. They were so cute! All of us found the activity educational, inspiring and highly rewarding.
How about your school field trips? Hope you can write and share it with me.
Yours,
Li Hua
