A tall tale is a story about a person who is larger than life. An African-American man named John Henry was the 1 of the people who built the 2 . He was known for his 3 . He worked for the railroads. By the time John Henry was a young man, he wag one of the best 4 in the country. People said he worked so fast that his 5 moved like lightening.One day, a salesman came to the work area with a new drilling machine powered by 6 . He said it could drill holes faster than twelve men working together. But the supervisor of the workers 7 the salesman's claims. He told the salesman that John Henry could 8 more than twenty men working together. But the salesman didn't believe him so a 9 took place. At first, the steam-powered drill worked two times 10 than John Henry did. Then, he started working with a hammer in each hand. He worked faster and faster. His wife and son cheered when the machine was pulled from the tunnel. But he kept on working, faster and faster. He hit the 11 so hard that his body began to fail him. He became weak, and 12 . His wife and son cried sadly. Soon, the steam drill and other machines 13 the steel-drivers. Many laborers left their families, looking for work. They took the only jobs they could find.

Here are some 1 for you.First, act on your dream! To achieve the future you want, you must identify what you really want to do and then act on your 2 . Don't just daydream about what you want, identify it, plan how to 3 it, and then act on your dream. That is the path to the success you want.Second, it takes 4 to act on your dream. For example, over several weeks' time, I started narrowing my 5 down to several ideas that 6 me and which would take real effort to achieve.Third, it requires 7 to act on your dream. Some people know just 8 what they want to do when they grow up and it doesn't change. Others of us scatter our efforts in many 9 as things catch our 10 . Sure, it's fun and there are a lot of great experiences that we can live as a result of going off in so many directions, but when you 11 on the last 40 years, what is there to show for it, and what is there to look forward to over the 12 several decades?At 13 let others help you act on your dream. I decided that I wanted to achieve something that had 14 meaning for me and that would take real effort to achieve——both my effort and the effort of many others. When working together towards a common 15 , I believe ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results.1．A．suggestions B．ideas C．ways D．plans2．A．subject B．job C．dreams D．plays3．A．succeed B．achieve C．take D．receive4．A．effort B．strength C．money D．energy5．A．material B．books C．options D．chances6．A．inspired B．defeated C．hurt D．include7．A．strength B．courage C．persistence D．focus8．A．hardly B．lately C．exactly D．mostly9．A．inventions B．directions C．reactions D．actions10．A．attention B．time C．sight D．breath11．A．look for B．look up C．look back D．look at12．A．next B．last C．past D．forward13．A．first B．the end C．last D．the beginning14．A．false B．real C．new D．old15．A．goal B．topic C．project D．field快乐人生14Someone once said, "There's no sense worrying about things you got control over because if you got control over them, there's no sense worrying. And there's no sense worrying about things you got no control over either, because if you got no control over them, there's no sense worrying".Maybe that makes 1 . But even if it does, I'll possibly 2 up worried anyway, which is why I like the following story.Corrie 3 us a lesson as a little girl. Having met the 4 body of a baby, she realized that people she loved would someday die, too. The thought 5 and worried her.One night her father came into her room. Corrie burst into tears, "I need you. You can't 6 .You can't!" Her father spoke to her, "Corrie, when you and I get to Amsterdam, when do I give you your ticket?"She considered the question. "Why, just before I get on the train." She answered." 7 ," he continued. Then he gave her assurance that was to last a lifetime. "When the time comes that some of us have to die, you will look into your heart and find the 8 you need─just in time."Some years later Corrie and her family, 9 for sheltering Jews, were sent to Nazi concentration camps(纳粹集中营). She, indeed, experienced the deaths of her parents and sister, as well as numerous friends. She endured 10 that she could never have imagined as a young child. But the words of her father stayed with her and proved to be 11 . Regardless of the 12 or hardship she met with, when she looked inside her heart, she found the strengthen she needed just in time.If you worry, or if you feel 13 about your future, you may find Corrie's 14 helpful. And if that thing you are afraid of should ever 15 , then you need only to look inside your heart.

This might seem like a 1 undertaking, but the flip side(另一方面) of this situation is that if your 2 is wide open then there are many exciting 3 . Taking a gap year, 4 your education, undertaking an apprenticeship(学徒) and landing your first job are all options 5 to you, so now it's just up to you to 6 your first choice!Taking a gap year is 7 a long term option for teenagers leaving secondary school, but for a few months or even a few years it might 8 you well. Today British 9 can be found backpacking around the world, working their way across a few continents, 10 for international charities and even working with the 11 at home in the UK. Gap years are a great choice for teens looking to pause before carrying on down their future path, and also for teens looking for a little adventure, exposure to different 12 and time to work on skills that can only be 13 while working with others.Leaving secondary school can be 14 . Everywhere you look there are options, but no one can tell you which one is 15 right for you. Taking a gap year, continuing your education, undertaking an apprenticeship and landing a first job are all possibilities for your future, but it is up to you to figure out which is your first choice.

When his wife, Susan, injured her foot, she needed 21 to rejoin her running group, so Campbell went along to keep her company in the 22 . “We were just walking at the beginning,” he says, “I was heavy, and weighed over 90kg.” But as the weeks and months passed, the weight 23 , Susan recovered and Campbell’s 24 grew. At the age of 63, he ran 50km, and at 70, he completed a 100km ultramarathon.So how does someone with no 25 precedent (先例) become an ultradistance runner in his 60s and 70s? Susan had run marathons before her 26 , but for Campbell, the turning point came when Susan’s Fleet Feet running group 27 the trails in the Sierra Nevada foothills near their home.Campbell went out to visit Susan’s group, and “the trails were a terrible 28 . It had been raining, and I was slipping, 29 and falling. But I thought, well, I like this a lot.”What he liked 30 was the feeling of “being wrapped by the trail, being 31 by the closeness of the vegetation (植被) and the nearness of the river. I was walking where 32 people had walked for thousands of years and where miners had walked on their way to gold.”Running the 100km ultramarathon took Campbell 16 hours. When Campbell 33 the finish line at 3 am, Susan handed him a 100km sticker to 34 on the back of histruck. He already had a 50km one on there. “It is a public statement that you are part of this35 ,” he says. “Wherever we park, I see a line of 36 with their various stickers andI feel that we are a tribe (部落).”Campbell suffered arthritis (关节炎) before he started running, and was “a(n) 37 for knee replacement”, but for now, he is 38 on surgery.

I was well83 , knowledgeable about the topic, and I felt confident as I 84 my speech. But afterwards, an experienced female delegate 85 me. We exchanged a few greetings, and then she dropped something unexpected on me. She said, “Do you know how many times you 86 , from the moment you 87 to the microphone until the moment you left the stage?” “Sorry, I don’t know,” I replied. “Nine times,” she said. “And all of them were unnecessary.” I was 88 . It was the first time someone had ever made me 89 my “sorry habit.” So what wasthe first word out of my mouth 90 ? “Sorry!” We both burst out laughing.Of course, apologies shouldn’t be 91 that way. This incident raised my awareness of how we routinely use apologies. I know 92 to apologize is a big mistake as we’ve made a mistake or wronged someone else. How to do it? First and foremost, we need to understand real apologies or wholeheartedly saying “sorry” is 93 . It’s like a big 94 into a relationship account and there’s no alternative for it. Actually, there are 95 apologies, which are tools of dodges (搪塞). They are awful and we should stop them. 96 , habitual apologies are an unnecessary automatic response, as I ever made at the conference.Generally, over apologizing 97 to happen when there’s a lack of 98 in your position, which will make others 99 you or even get unhappy. So we need to use apologies 100 and our attitude must be sincere. Refusing to apologize is a big mistake, and so is over apologizing.81．A．essential B．impossible C．reasonable D．difficult 82．A．editor B．speaker C．worker D．member 83．A．dressed B．prepared C．known D．equipped 84．A．formed B．recalled C．delivered D．appreciated 85．A．blamed B．praised C．discovered D．approached 86．A．interrupted B．apologized C．stopped D．coughed 87．A．caught on B．brought out C．stepped on D．broke down 88．A．speechless B．hopeless C．confused D．frightened 89．A．ready for B．nervous about C．careful about D．aware of 90．A．in reply B．in vain C．in return D．in place 91．A．ignored B．mentioned C．used D．accepted 92．A．regretting B．failing C．pretending D．promising 93．A．ridiculous B．impressive C．accessible D．crucial 94．A．sale B．income C．deposit D．loss 95．A．private B．false C．inadequate D．illegal 96．A．Besides B．Therefore C．Nevertheless D．Instead 97．A．expects B．continues C．deserves D．tends 98．A．motivation B．confidence C．energy D．experience109．A．person B．neighbor C．doctor D．child 110．A．bought B．discovered C．buried D．lost 111．A．even B．just C．only D．yet 112．A．liked B．bought C．kept D．lost 113．A．school B．army C．college D．countryside 114．A．receive B．direct C．sense D．describe 115．A．repaired B．cleaned C．spotted D．set 116．A．descriptions B．introductions C．memories D．communications 117．A．recognized B．represented C．instructed D．confirmed 118．A．supermarket B．church C．office D．house 119．A．merely B．always C．really D．never 120．A．Anything B．Nothing C．Everything D．SomethingIf this time last year you had told me that an exercise bike would save me, I’d have 121 you were wrong.

I was bookish and slow, and that 126 of being better suited to quiet reading and leisurely walks 127 with me for a long time.I discovered jogging in my late 20s, and I enjoyed the feeling of quiet accomplishment—without the fear of 128 teammates. I tried yoga and always prioritized 129 pursuits over physical ones.It was, 130 , my gradually worsening mental condition that finally forced me to rethink about exercising. This winter, under pandemic, I found myself 131 under the weight of exhaustion. I knew 132 had to change. I needed an outlet to release the 133 of months of online conferencing and on-and-off solo parenting at home. Jogging in the morning wasn’t enough to 134 it.I 135 an exercise bike and hoped to have positive results. Since early March, I’vehardly 136 a day on my bike. I’m not the fastest, but I stick to it. I’m finally learning that movement isn’t 137 about athleticism (运动才能). More than anything, it’s the feeling of accomplishment when you insist on something 138 outside of your comfort zone.Athletes find glory in sports. For the rest of us, the 139 is more personal: better sleep, improved mood and boosted confidence. It was never about talent. That’s what I wish my physical education teacher had told me.

完形填空Bad Dreams Are Good!Most of us dream, whether we remember them or not. What are dreams for? A handful of___1___ dominate. Sigmund Freud famously maintained that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or ___2___ random neuron (神经元) activity, or prepare responses to threatening situations. Others argue that dreams have no evolutionary function, but simply ___3___ personal concerns.Despite being largely unsupported by ___4___, Freud’s view maintains strong following around the world. Researcher found that students in the U.S., South Korea, and India were much more likely to say that dreams reveal hidden truths than to accept better ___5___ theories. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more ___6___ than an official warning about a terrorist attack. Even if dreams can’t foretell the future, they seem to ___7___ our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep (深度睡眠) cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night.A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics include school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something. For all the commonalities dreams___8___, they vary across time and culture—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white. A 1958 study ___9___ that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being locked up, losing a loved one, finding money, being ___10___ dressed or encountering a mad person. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or “wild, violent beasts.” If human dreams sound ___11___, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects.In a study of students taking a French medical school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreams they had beforehand ___12___ problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported ___13___ about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t. So the next time you dream about an education related experience in which you are unable to answer the questions or solve a problem, don’t ___14___: It’s probably totallymeaningless. Then again, your brain might be practicing so you’ll be ___15___ if such an event ever comes to pass.1．A．symptoms B．reviews C．conflicts D．theories 2．A．take place of B．make peace with C．make sense of D．come up with 3．A．stage B．dramatize C．horrify D．recognize 4．A．evidence B．information C．qualification D．inquiry 5．A．assumed B．connected C．confirmed D．realized 6．A．curiosity B．anxiety C．fancy D．reluctance 7．A．expect B．endure C．expose D．employ 8．A．exhibit B．explain C．supply D．identify 9．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．denied D．determined 10．A．necessarily B．independently C．inappropriately D．impersonally 11．A．puzzling B．exciting C．depressing D．amusing 12．A．revealed B．guaranteed C．traced D．involved 13．A．grades B．concerns C．dreams D．memories 14．A．hesitate B．worry C．pause D．laugh 15．A．ready B．eager C．nervous D．curiousIt’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, ___16___, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most common ___17___ language learners make and how to correct them.Not listening enoughThere’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning ___18___ a “silent period”. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language.Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be ___19___ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the ___20___ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often aspossible.A single methodSome learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to ___21___ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use ___22___ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the ___23___ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that ___24___ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). Forself-study, try a ____25____ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.____26____It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of ____27____ or insecurity hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too ____28____ making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would ____29____ them.The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors ____30____ they become deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.16．A．however B．moreover C．furthermore D．therefore 17．A．successes B．wonders C．mistakes D．contributions 18．A．picks up B．begins with C．takes up D．meets with 19．A．efficient B．difficult C．easy D．ideal 20．A．national B．official C．sign D．target 21．A．make sense of B．make use of C．make profit of D．make fun of 22．A．common B．educational C．permanent D．multiple 23．A．variety B．change C．improvement D．alternative 24．A．postpones B．lacks C．assesses D．practices 25．A．selection B．preference C．combination D．replacement26．A．Complaints B．Fear C．Secure D．Diligence 27．A．humor B．shyness C．achievements D．laughter 28．A．confident in B．comfortable with C．keen on D．afraid of 29．A．amuse B．inform C．remind D．embarrass 30．A．if B．before C．in case D．so thatWe have a small wooden board suspended on a tree in our back garden to feed some of the parrots and squirrels that populate our neighbourhood.They visit in the morning and evening to see if we have ____31____ any leftover rice or fruit, and loud noises can be heard if the ____32____ is empty.The squirrels are usually the quietest of the creatures that visit, while the parrots are the bossiest.

The parrots, however, never let the poor squirrels eat to his heart’s ____36____, often peck (啄) at him and ____37____ him away.One day in July last year, something quite ____38____ happened. A parrot went for the usual ____39____, but the squirrel, ____40____ backing away, ____41____ his head towards the parrot in defence.

完形填空Colleges today often operate as machines for putting too many opportunities before already advantaged people. Our educational system focuses too much on helping students take the next step. But it does not give them adequate ___1___ in thinking about the substance of the lives toward which they are advancing. Many institutions today have ___2___ that it is an essential part of education to teach the young the art of choosing, and to train them to use ___3___ to decide which efforts deserve the investment of their lives.We spent many years teaching on a college campus, trying to help students struggling with their confusion. Eventually, we sought to address this problem ___4___, by designing a course intended to introduce the young to the art of choosing. The course begins with Plato’s “Gorgias” — a messy dialogue that turns on a(n) ___5___ over whether the pursuit of virtue or of pleasure is the way to a good life. The dialogue ends ___6___; no one is satisfied. But with remarkable regularity, it ___7___ the kind of thinking that students need to better understand the choices that shape their lives.Students’ first reaction to the “Gorgias” is disbelief, sometimes even horror. It is the dialogue’s ___8___ that alarms them: the idea that we can seriously argue about what represents the human good. Everything in their education has led them to believe that such arguments cannot bear fruit.Most students are ___9___ to discover this art of choosing. Learning to reason about happiness is as delightful as discovering that one’s voice can be made to sing. Why, then, do institutions ____10____ teach it? In some cases, intelligence members are encouraged to____11____ specialized research rather than thinking about the good life. In others, they share the belief that feeling is a more ____12____ guide to happiness than the mind.Colleges should self-consciously prioritize initiating students into a culture of ____13____ reflection on how to live. Doing so will hold them ____14____ performing their proper work: helping young people learn to give reasons for the choices that shape their lives and to____15____ about the ends they pursue.1．A．assistance B．protection C．recognition D．treatment 2．A．forgotten B．promised C．repeated D．responded3．A．determination B．imagination C．memory D．reason 4．A．controversially B．effortlessly C．resistantly D．systematically 5．A．argument B．lecture C．performance D．session 6．A．automatically B．inconclusively C．indirectly D．unnecessarily 7．A．abuses B．awakens C．demonstrates D．echoes 8．A．assumption B．pattern C．progress D．variation 9．A．grateful B．quick C．reluctant D．shocked 10．A．commonly B．effectively C．rarely D．strictly 11．A．direct B．emphasize C．review D．sponsor 12．A．detailed B．formal C．qualified D．reliable 13．A．logical B．moral C．spiritual D．theoretical 14．A．eager for B．patient with C．responsible for D．skilled at 15．A．complain B．experiment C．question D．reflect“A revolutionary approach on how to connect our world without being super-weird... In the Iceland-verse, there’s... skies you can see with your eyeballs, volcanic rocks you can caress, and really big geysers (间歇泉) you can observe from a safe distance.” So ____16____ a viral advertisement designed to lure tourists to Iceland. The target of the parody (滑稽的模仿) is Mark Zuckerberg in ____17____, and Silicon Valley in general, for whom the idea of the “metaverse (元宇宙)” — a sort of 3d sequel (续集) to today’s two-dimensional internet, in which users work, play, buy and sell inside immersive virtual worlds- has become the latest Next Big Thing.Iceland’s tourist board is not the only ____18____. When, on October 28th, Mr. Zuckerberg rebranded Facebook as Meta Platforms, to signal his ____19____ to the new idea, many assumed it was a PR stunt (公关伎俩) to divert attention from the social-media giant’s scandals. Mr. Zuckerberg may well prefer to think about exciting new products than deal with the downsides of his existing ones. And exaggerated advertising is the water in which techies swim. ____20____, to stop the analysis there would be too dismissive. There are good reasons to take the metaverse seriously.One is historical: as computers have become more capable, the ____21____ that they generate have become richer. The internet began its life displaying nothing more exciting thanwhite text on a black background. Flat ____22____ were added in the 1990s. Video came to dominate in the 2010s. Therefore, a(n) ____23____ into three dimensions is a logical consequence of the steady growth in computing power.That progression is more than merely ____24____. The video-game industry has been selling virtual worlds for years. “Ever Quest”, an online game launched in 1999, had half a million subscribers ______25______. (Players quickly co-opted (选择) it for socializing, and even______26______, as well as dragon-slaying.) “World of Warcraft,” which arrived five years later, ______27______ 12 million, with many players spend their real money on virtual goods. It is hard to argue that an idea will never ______28______ when, for millions of people, it already has.Finally, mockers (嘲笑) is a(n) ______29______ guide to the future. When YouTube was launched in 2005, commentators wondered why anyone would what to watch spotty teenagers filming themselves in their bedrooms. The two decades, online dating has taken its place as a perfectly normal way to meet people. Smartphones are some of the bestselling devices ever built. In the 1990s their brick-sized predecessors were considered ridiculous status symbols for insecure investment bankers.This does not mean every Silicon Valley brainwave will automatically succeed. Nor does it mean a fully grown metaverse will arrive overnight. But it does suggest that something metaverse — ______30______ lying in the relatively near future is an idea worth taking seriously. 16．A．imagines B．runs C．launches D．concerns 17．A．essence B．existence C．particular D．doubt 18．A．participant B．subscriber C．enthusiast D．sceptic 19．A．commitment B．contribution C．integration D．exposure 20．A．Indeed B．Likewise C．However D．Otherwise 21．A．challenges B．prospects C．calculations D．experiences 22．A．images B．dialogues C．charts D．expressions 23．A．urge B．move C．motion D．proof 24．A．fundamental B．theoretical C．foreseeable D．futuristic 25．A．on its basis B．under its charge C．as its peak D．at best 26．A．competitions B．simulations C．outings D．weddings 27．A．hit B．listed C．fit D．occurred28．A．bring about B．catch on C．die out D．settle down 29．A．inaccessible B．unparalleled C．unattainable D．unreliable 30．A．fueled B．equipped C．attached D．shapedStephen Hawking remembered by his research student Stephen was not so famous when I began my PhD at Cambridge in 1972, but his brilliance was already clear to his peers. On becoming his research student, I found it rather discouraging when I was informed by one of my tutors that Stephen was the brightest person in the department. _____31_____, it soon became evident that my relationship with him would not be the usual type of supervisor-student relationship. In those days, before he had his caretakers’ group of nurses and assistants, students would necessarily have to help him in various ways_____32_____ his disability. This was not an tough task, but it did mean that my relationship with him became quite _____33_____. Indeed, I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and_____34_____ him as he travelled around the world, giving talks and collecting medals.I soon discovered some of Stephen’s unique _____35_____. The first, of course, was that he was very smart. Students are probably always in respect of their supervisors and with Stephen the respect was even greater. Indeed, on matters of physics, I always regarded him as an oracle(圣人), just a few words from him generating insights that would have taken weeks to_____36_____on my own. However, Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to inspiration. Once I asked a question about something that was _____37_____ me. He thought about it silently. His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he was clearly having to think about it very deeply. Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep. Nowadays, I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students, so I recall this incident with_____38_____.I also learned about Stephen’s stubbornness and _____39_____ to continue doing things for himself as long as possible, despite the continuous progress of his illness. For example, because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge, I also had offices in both places. I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift (probably illegally!) between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car. I found this rather ______40______ because I thought he drove faster than was safe. Later, he hadto discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible. One ______41______ is he didn’t live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.I’m often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群) of great physicists. There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be ______42______ like runners in an Olympic race. Stephen himself never ______43______ to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been______44______ because of his symbolic status. His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous, but I doubt any other ______45______ physicist will achieve the honor of being buried next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey after his death.31．A．Otherwise B．Nevertheless C．Moreover D．Therefore 32．A．in process of B．on account of C．in possession of D．accounting for 33．A．familiar B．similar C．close D．related 34．A．accompanied B．served C．treated D．entertained 35．A．habits B．habitats C．tempers D．characteristics 36．A．work out B．pick out C．put out D．lay out 37．A．bothering B．puzzling C．disordering D．suffering 38．A．amazement B．amusement C．disappointment D．astonishment 39．A．innovation B．evolution C．determination D．imagination 40．A．fairy B．chilly C．scary D．worthy 41．A．sympathy B．dream C．doubt D．regret 42．A．leveled B．classified C．ranked D．awarded 43．A．claimed B．appealed C．fastened D．applied 44．A．outnumbered B．emphasized C．outlined D．overstated 45．A．optimistic B．potential C．positive D．contemporaryWhy do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an inherited need to _____46_____ uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will _____47_____ to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt.In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students’ willingness to _____48_____themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one experiment, each _____49_____was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would deliver an electric shock when _____50_____. Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified; Another 27 were told only that some were electrified. _____51_____ left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would _____52_____. Consequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of horrible insects.The drive to _____53_____ is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for food or shelter, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct — it can _____54_____ new scientific advances, for instance — but sometimes such ______55______ can backfire. The instinct that curiosity can drive you to do self-destructive things is a tragic one. Unhealthy curiosity is possible to ______56______, however. In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to ______57______ how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to ______58______ to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the ______59______ of following through on one’s curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the efforts. “Thinking aboutlong-term ______60______ is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity.” Hsee says. In other words, don’t read online comments.46．A．address B．protect C．discuss D．ignore 47．A．refuse B．wait C．seek D．regret 48．A．alert B．tie C．treat D．expose 49．A．messenger B．participant C．candidate D．applicant 50．A．removed B．weakened C．clicked D．interrupted 51．A．Unless B．If C．Though D．When 52．A．happen B．continue C．disappear D．change 53．A．disagree B．forgive C．forget D．discover 54．A．begin with B．rest on C．learn from D．lead to55．A．withdrawal B．inquiry C．persistence D．diligence 56．A．resist B．define C．replace D．trace 57．A．predict B．overlook C．design D．conceal 58．A．remember B．choose C．promise D．pretend 59．A．relief B．plan C．outcome D．duty 60．A．limitations B．investments C．strategies D．consequencesWith vigorous promotion and extensive participation over the past two years, waste sorting is a new trend that has reshaped the image of campuses across Beijing.“In the past, sanitation workers sorted the garbage next to the trash cans near the dormitory, ____61____ a disgusting odor. On windy days, the trash was blown everywhere and we always____62____ around it with our hands covering our noses,” says Sun Jiajing, a sophomore at Beijing Forestry University. “Now, we are more active in classifying waste.”Since a revised guideline on household waste disposal in Beijing was ____63____ on May 1, 2020, many students have seen their campuses take on a new look that is more pleasant, tidy and appealing.At Beijing Forestry University, about one in four students are trash-sorting volunteers.In the Beijing No 20 High School, bins to recycle waste are placed on each floor and students on duty will set their wits to turning trash into ____64____.“I received training on trash classification before taking on the role as head of thetrash-sorting station. My job is to remind everyone to classify waste and recycle to the best____65____,” says Ding Shuyi, a student at the school.As China pushes ____66____ the “double reduction” education policy, which aims to ease the burden of ____67____ homework and off-campus tutoring for primary and middle school students, understanding of waste sorting has been fused into academic teaching via various innovative approaches.“Our Chinese teachers encourage students to write poetries ____68____ on waste classification, math teachers lead them to do math on topics such as water conservation, while our music teachers choreographed a ‘waste sorting’ dance with the students,” says Zuo Chunyun, principal of a primary school in the suburban Tongzhou district of the capital.Zuo adds that students in senior classes will join trash-sorting projects and map out____69____ in the form of handwritten newspapers and mind maps. Decorations made from recycled materials are exhibited in the school’s corridors.The same scene can be seen in Qianjin Primary School, Haidian district. “Garbage can be turned into _____70_____,” says Wang Liping, the principal. “We have raised 100,000 yuan ($15,760) of charity funds by encouraging students and their parents to recycle waste, and the money was used to purchase movie screens for schools in Hotan, Xinjiang.”According to Liu Jianguo, a professor at Tsinghua University, the implementation of garbage sorting depends on the _____71_____ participation and unremitting efforts of society, which is conducive to the_____72_____ of social civilization.“Wide participation of students and school staff will help promote garbage sorting to become a new fashion in society,” adds Liu.Official data shows that over 90 percent of the residents in Beijing have participated in waste classification, and about 85 percent can _____73_____ categorize the garbage. But still, relevant departments are _____74_____ to further raise the ratio.“Our next move will be more precise supervision of groups that did _____75_____ poorer jobs in sorting out garbage,” says a staffer with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management.61．A．smelling B．generating C．eliminating D．generalizing 62．A．skirted B．migrated C．flew D．hung 63．A．proposed B．celebrated C．implemented D．issued 64．A．action B．cash C．garbage D．waste 65．A．extent B．element C．extension D．initiative 66．A．forward B．around C．roughly D．blindly 67．A．decisive B．excessive C．inclusive D．academic 68．A．scheduled B．integrated C．proposed D．themed 69．A．instructions B．distributions C．solutions D．anticipations 70．A．sources B．supplies C．demands D．resources 71．A．intensive B．aggressive C．successive D．extensive 72．A．promotion B．intervention C．addition D．communication73．A．accurately B．narrowly C．broadly D．scarcely 74．A．participating B．supervising C．striving D．negotiating 75．A．fantastically B．relatively C．deliberately D．denselyIt is early days for the idea that toys shaped humanity, but Felix Riede, at Aarhus University in Denmark, and his colleagues recently published a paper outlining some interesting case studies. ___76___, examining the records of communities living in Greenland from around 4500 years ago, they found that the early colonisers ___77___ toys and also showed little innovation in their material culture, but the Thule, who migrated into Greenland around 800 years ago, had many tiny objects that appear to have been designed specifically for child’s ___78___, including toy weapons and dolls. Their appearance seemed to coincide with an explosion of new adult technologies, such as advanced designs for boats and elaborate clothes. The records aren’t___79___ enough to determine which emerged first, the toys or the advanced technology, but Riede thinks the two may have grown together, with the richer material culture inspiring new play objects, which ___80___ equipped the young minds for further innovation.The team also points to sites in Western Cape, South Africa, dating back 60,000 to 80,000 years ago. Analyses of rocks show that children were imitating the adults’ stone striking, producing ___81___ useless copies of real tools. This “play-copying” again seems to coincide with new technologies, including the first arrowheads, suggesting that the childhood games might have ___82___ greater cultural innovation.It is the invention of the wheel, however, that offers the most persuasive ___83___ for Riede’s idea. The oldest evidence of wheeled vehicles suggests that the technology ___84___ around 5500 years ago, across western Eurasia – in the northern Caucasus, Mesopotamia and central and northern Europe. But some two centuries beforehand, we ___85___ small models of animals with holes drilled through their feet for an axle (车轴), and ceramic (陶瓷) discs that served as wheels. But given their ___86___ and the fact that small animals are playthings in many modern cultures, Riede believes that they were toys. “You could easily call them quite cute,” he says.If so, like any kid with a train set today, children playing with those toys would have been exploring the ___87___ of spinning motion. They might have used their toys to carry variousobjects, and practised different ways of driving them – from the front or the back, or letting them roll down a slope. They might even have ___88___ wheels of different sizes, or made from different materials to see different results. As the children grew up, those same ___89___ would have helped them make the cognitive leap necessary to imagine a wagon, but a society that lacked those toys would have ___90___ to think of a workable design.76．A．What’s more B．In other words C．For instance D．As a matter of fact 77．A．designed B．understood C．deserted D．lacked 78．A．learning B．play C．care D．health 79．A．up-to-date B．related C．equivalent D．accurate 80．A．on average B．in turn C．in theory D．on demand 81．A．equally B．economically C．functionally D．socially 82．A．inspired B．normalized C．resisted D．applied 83．A．proposal B．support C．victory D．model 84．A．exploded B．decreased C．emerged D．matured 85．A．imagine B．make C．present D．see 86．A．time B．size C．shape D．use 87．A．mechanics B．studies C．periods D．contents 88．A．depended upon B．distinguished between C．experimented withD．searched for89．A．playmates B．motions C．materials D．skills 90．A．struggled B．preferred C．wanted D．prepared参考答案：1．A2．A3．D4．D5．A6．B7．B8．A9．A10．C11．B12．D13．A14．C15．D【导语】本文为一篇说明文。

In the days following, Katie phoned the shelter ____48____ to check up on Pepper and Cooper. Soon after Christmas, the beagles were ____49____ - as a pair, by a loving family.

As a result, more than 70,000 houses were____66____, including the home of Sarah Feldman and her family.At the time, they were in Connecticut on vacation, so they didn’t know what kind of____67____ they were going to face when they got home to Texas. But then Feldman’s grandparents called with ____68____ news: all of her books had been destroyed in the flooding. Feldman was 14 at the time and loved ____69____.To cheer her up, Feldman’s father ____70____ her to the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. When they arrived, she met Bill Carver, an elderly____71____.“I asked him a bunch of questions like, ‘How do you ____72____ all these rare books in the library? What’s the oldest book you have?’” Feldman remembers.Carver ____73____ answered all of Feldman’s questions. When she told him about her booksbeing ____74____, he told her that he would send her a book in the mail, so she could_____75_____ her collection. After returning to Houston, she _____76_____ his gift, titled “The Medieval(中世纪的) Book” by Barbara A．Shailor.Feldman is in her 30s now. But Carver’s _____77_____ has made a lifelong impact. Feldman has tried to _____78_____ Carver, with no success. “I actually sent the library a _____79_____ during the pandemic(大流行病), but I never heard back,” she said. “I’m not sure if he’s_____80_____ still, but I just would love to tell Bill Carver that he changed my life.”66．A．flooded B．burnt C．removed D．buried 67．A．challenge B．damage C．pressure D．danger 68．A．false B．local C．bad D．daily 69．A．traveling B．reading C．chatting D．playing 70．A．took B．invited C．led D．rushed 71．A．artist B．professor C．writer D．librarian 72．A．buy B．keep C．pack D．gather 73．A．quickly B．loudly C．patiently D．secretly 74．A．disturbed B．stolen C．destroyed D．torn75．A．own B．expand C．enrich D．restart 76．A．received B．opened C．returned D．lost 77．A．donation B．present C．suggestion D．lecture 78．A．show mercy to B．turn to C．take care of D．look for 79．A．photo B．painting C．letter D．check 80．A．easy-going B．considerate C．warm-hearted D．aliveIn a letter he wrote in 1884, Mark Twain complained that “Telephones, telegraphs and words are too slow for this age; we must get something that is faster.” “We should communicate by thought only, and say in a couple of minutes what should have ballooned into ____81____ in an hour and a half,” said him.Despite the progress the previous century brought for our understanding of both language and the brain, we are no closer to telepathy(心灵感应), communication from one mind to another by ____82____ means, than we were in Twain’s time. The reason is that the telepathy we’ve beenpromised, the sort imagined by Twain, and ____83____ in countless movies and TV shows, is, for the time being, groundless.“Good old-fashioned telepathy” (GOFT) involves a direct transfer of ____84____ from one mind to another. It has fascinated people for good reasons. It removes the ____85____ of language. With GOFT, we no longer need to put each concept into words or to ____86____ someone’s language. You know instantly what one means as the former channel of communication, language, is not at all necessary. The ____87____ of language is the central feature of GOFT. It is what enables science-fiction writers to imagine humans and aliens from other planets communicating telepathically despite not sharing a language. But can it really come true with current science and technology?Besides, GOFT promises genuine communication. However, ____88____ is universal. We all have experiences of saying one thing, only to be understood as saying something else. Because language is so flexible, it is also easy to lie or ____89____ oneself.We aren’t even certain if Bob’s expression could be in line with what he believes in a year’s time.These weaknesses have driven people to look for alternatives and finally inspired inventions of artificial languages trying to remove misunderstanding. Of course, one day when technology allows, a direct thought-to-thought transfer seems the ____90____ solution.Many of us have the confidence that we can think faster than we can speak or write. Having to rely ____91____ on language to communicate, however, is depressing. Therefore, the____92____ of adding new direct brain-to-brain communication channels is exciting. By channels of this kind, our brains can be “____93____ ” and allowed to be committed to other ____94____ practices instead of conveying messages.New brain-to-brain channels have the potential to increase ____95____, turning us into super-actors, handling so many tasks in a short period of time as we cannot yet imagine.81．A．words B．gestures C．actions D．costs 82．A．extra-genetic B．extra-familial C．extra-sensory D．extra-legal 83．A．sacrificed B．popularized C．enclosed D．balanced 84．A．strength B．intelligence C．thoughts D．structures 85．A．limitations B．expenses C．command D．evolution86．A．replace B．update C．decode D．imitate 87．A．avoidance B．discrimination C．employment D．expansion 88．A．reluctance B．privacy C．fear D．misinterpretation 89．A．contradict B．indicate C．delay D．justify 90．A．multiple B．invisible C．ultimate D．equivalent 91．A．roughly B．casually C．entirely D．willingly 92．A．distraction B．prospect C．origin D．regulation 93．A．fed up B．set up C．cut off D．let loose 94．A．profitable B．meaningful C．steady D．typical 95．A．charm B．recognition C．efficiency D．enduranceEric is one of the top salesmen in his company.

The kids in our ____111____ called me “The American Lady.” One day, as I was ____112____ outside in the small garden, two little boys ran up to my gate, “Lady, lady, blah blah blah.” That’s what I understood, but their gesture made me want to find out what was so ____113____. I walked down the street with them.At the corner, I ___114___ a pile of garbage with a small dog on top. The poor little animal smelled ____115____. I didn’t know how long she’d been there, but I ____116____ she needed water.I ran home to get water and a little food, Ted asked what was up, and I ____117____ what I had found. He returned with me, carrying a cat cage. I put down the water and a small cup with the food. The puppy looked at the food but didn’t make any effort to eat or drink. Ted said we needed to get her to the ____118____ as soon as possible. We put the puppy into the cage and____119____ set out. As we were shown into the exam room, I took her out of the_____120_____ and put her on the metal table. The puppy looked up at me and then, with all her _____121_____, pulled herself over to me and _____122_____ her head on my stomach. That was it. This was my puppy.What _____123_____ me was the puppy was probably four months old, and we were in our late seventies. I don’t think old people should adopt young animals.

I’d watch as he put his personal items away, among which was a jade green comb. Every night, he would smile, ____126____ me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was ____127____ happy to do it. At the age of five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would____128____ turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used ____129____ as hard as I could. ____130____ that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and ____131____ the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was ____132____ things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our ____133____ life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I would already be in bed. I started to get____134____. Why didn’t he _____135_____ his old job? Why did he take the _____136_____ and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, stopped going downstairs to _____137_____ him. And I rarely talked to him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back _____138_____. Yet the uncomfortable _____139_____ between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home earlier. _____140_____ the evening of that day, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he asked me to_____141_____ his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and _____142_____ the sink. It was a(n) _____143_____ comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had _____144_____.

An elderly woman walked into the store with a younger woman who I____146____ was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of ____147____ checking her watch every few seconds. The older woman began to ____148____ the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After ____149____ hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help. The woman smiled and showed me a title on a crumpled (皱巴巴的) piece of paper. Obviously a person looking for it knew a little about ____150____.Rather than rushing off to ____151____ the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Something about her deliberate movements____152____ me of my own mother, who had passed away the previous Christmas. The woman seemed ____153____ for the unrushed company and casual conversation. We found the movie, and I ____154____ her to the queue at the cash register. When the older woman was paying in cash, I walked over to the younger, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.“Is that your mom?” She rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah.” There was ____155____ in her reply, half sigh and half complaint. Still watching the mother, I said, “____156____ some advice?” “Sure,”said the daughter. I smiled to show her I wasn’t ____157____. I answered her____158____ expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little ____159____ that’ll come back to you. Moments like this.

He also told me that I’d be ____162____ to climb the mountain without a ____163____. “You’ll be on the steep (陡峭的) service road before you ____164____ the rainforest on an unmarked track to have any chance of finding the tagimoucia.

The song played on and on, whether you were loading the dishwasher, weaving in and out of traffic, or attempting to ____176____ your mind at the start of yoga class.Having a song stuck in one’s head, known as an earworm, is an experience that over 90% of us have on a ____177____ basis. We’re more likely to catch an earworm after we stop focusing, in moments when the working memory is ____178____, when we’re relaxed, when work is finished or when we’re a bit sleepy.Certain songs are ____179____ than others, and so more likely to “auto repeat” in your head. There are certain musical characteristics that make songs more likely to become earworms, such as if the piece is repetitive, if there is a longer duration of certain notes, if ____180____ between the notes are smaller. ____181____, we know that mood can have an impact, with some people reporting that they always get the same earworm when they feel good, or people experiencing a fast-tempo earworm when they are ____182____. And of course familiarity with a song is a key ____183____. Songs that you don’t know very well are less likely to pop up as earworms.If you’ve had enough of your earworm and need to stop it in its tracks, you would be well warned not to try to block the song out, but rather to ____184____ accept it. A determined effort to block the song out may result in the very _____185_____ of what you want. According topsychologist Daniel Wegner, _____186_____ the song may make your brain keep playing it over and over again. To get rid of an earworm, you may be best served by simply _____187_____ it, accepting it, and leaving it alone to let this phenomenon ends up weakening itself little by little.Some people try to _____188_____ themselves from the song, and it works. You can try reading a book, listening to a different song or even playing an instrument. Others _____189_____ the tune in question, because it is commonly believed that earworms occur when you remember only part of a song; hearing the entire song may stop it. Neurologists (神经学家) point out that it’s recommendable to chew gum to reduce the _____190_____ of an earworm because jaw movement interferes with musical memory. However, it’s important to note that this phenomenon usually lasts less than 24 hours.176．A．burden B．clear C．alter D．exploit 177．A．trial B．solid C．voluntary D．regular 178．A．inactive B．complicated C．dynamic D．uncertain 179．A．catchier B．slower C．harsher D．louder 180．A．phases B．intervals C．rhythms D．sessions 181．A．Instead B．Therefore C．Otherwise D．Additionally 182．A．alert B．pleased C．remote D．rigid 183．A．criterion B．consequence C．concept D．contributor 184．A．readily B．constantly C．passively D．critically 185．A．opposite B．fantasy C．emphasised D．equivalent 186．A．integrating B．converting C．resisting D．tolerating 187．A．interrupting B．acknowledging C．stimulating D．facilitating 188．A．perceive B．isolate C．distract D．identify 189．A．seek out B．act out C．cast out D．knock out 190．A．proportion B．intensity C．integrity D．preference“Challenge-based learning is often focused on the challenges that have global impact.

After____121____, the 23-year-old girl goes home and does the same for her 43-year-old dad, Luciano Flores. “I was thinking to myself. ‘Since I can teach these ____122____ to read and write, why can't I teach my father that?’ ____123____, we started about four months ago,” says Flores.Growing up in Mexico, Luciano's family had ____124____ resources. The school he____125____ didn't have much to spare, either. So, after about first grade, he ____126____ going to class and started working to ____127____ his family. He began a ____128____ in construction he continues to this day.“His work hardly requires him to sign things,” Flores says of her father. “But he told nobody around him that he didn't have the ____129____.” Unlike her dad, Flores received a good______130______ in school. Last year, she became the first person in her family to______131______ from college.A few months ago, Flores gave ______132______ her dad a shot. Though ______133______ at first, he was excited to start to learn. “That first day, I told him to write his name, but he didn't want to do it in front of me,” she recalls. “He chose to sit at the dining room table______134______, because he didn't want anyone to see.” After four months of______135______ together for two hours every time, three days a week, both were done with work. Flores reveals that her dad can ______136______ write his name and even read some articles on his own. Witnessing her dad's ______137______, Flores feels really______138______.Meanwhile, Luciano shares that he's eager to ______139______ learning to read and write. According to Flores, they're planning a trip to a local library together. “He's never been to a library,” she says. “I’m just wondering his ______140______ to seeing a library full of books.”121．A．birth B．growth C．school D．break 122．A．colleagues B．children C．adults D．relatives 123．A．Otherwise B．Instead C．Besides D．Therefore 124．A．limited B．necessary C．affordable D．abundant 125．A．managed B．established C．attended D．destroyed 126．A．risked B．kept C．stopped D．forgot 127．A．provide for B．stand for C．search for D．wait for 128．A．test B．career C．major D．campaign 129．A．ability B．dream C．attempt D．strategy 130．A．interview B．competition C．salary D．education 131．A．retire B．graduate C．suffer D．recover 132．A．defeating B．teaching C．challenging D．amusing 133．A．regretful B．sorrowful C．hesitant D．angry 134．A．by himself B．in pair C．on time D．at random 135．A．discussing B．complaining C．arguing D．working 136．A．suddenly B．currently C．instantly D．previously 137．A．schedule B．adventure C．progress D．equipment 138．A．delighted B．terrified C．disappointed D．confused 139．A．start B．avoid C．suggest D．continue 140．A．approach B．resistance C．devotion D．reactionI love football. I started playing when I was nine years old, and football got me through difficult periods. It helped make me who I am today. And even though I did not ____141____ the National Football League (NFL), I sometimes think I got more from ____142____ that dream, but not realizing it.My romance with football started when my dad ____143____ me, kicking and screaming, to join a league. I had no ____144____ to be there. I was naturally ____145____ and the smallest kidby far. ____146____ turned to awe when I met my coach, Jim Graham, a huge and strong guy. And he was really ____147____ and old-fashioned.Coach Graham used to push me ____148____. I remember one practice ____149____. “You’re doing it all wrong, Pausch. Go back! Do it again!” I tried to do what he wanted. It wasn’t enough. “You _____150_____ me, Pausch! Go to do push-ups after _____151_____!”When I was finally _____152_____, one of the _____153_____ coaches came up to me. “Coach Graham pushed you pretty hard, didn’t he?” he said.“That’s a good thing,” the assistant told me. “When you’re doing badly and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve _____154_____ you.”That _____155_____ has influenced my whole life. When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s willing to tell you anymore, that’s a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your _____156_____ are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you _____157_____.When Coach Graham first got hold of me, I was such a weak kid with no _____158_____ and no physical strength. But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do _____159_____ that I can’t do today. Even now, having just turned forty-seven, I can give you a three-point stance that any NFL lineman would be _____160_____ of. I really felt grateful to Coach Graham for what he had done to me, though it surely didn’t feel good at that time to do so many push-ups after practice.141．A．win B．become C．reach D．start 142．A．pursuing B．fulfilling C．dreaming D．making 143．A．invited B．dragged C．suggested D．encouraged 144．A．right B．reason C．plan D．desire 145．A．shy B．weak C．slow D．sick 146．A．Fear B．Surprise C．Will D．Wish 147．A．careful B．sympathetic C．funny D．strict 148．A．gently B．slowly C．hard D．fast149．A．on purpose B．in particular C．at least D．by chance 150．A．tricked B．hated C．owed D．obeyed 151．A．practice B．school C．ride D．break152．A．stopped B．dismissed C．punished D．scolded 153．A．assistant B．serious C．old D．young 154．A．given up on B．given in to C．got hold of D．got along with 155．A．story B．practice C．blow D．conversation 156．A．comments B．critics C．coaches D．teammates 157．A．suffer B．better C．satisfied D．upset 158．A．chances B．tempers C．skills D．thoughts 159．A．now B．immediately C．lately D．tomorrow 160．A．proud B．aware C．scared D．ashamedLast spring, when the first lock-down began, the task to check in daily on my elderly mother fell to me.

Even as I crossed my fifties, our differences still present ___163___.Initially, I ___164___ my visits to coincide with the Greek game shows she watches every afternoon on satellite TV.

One night at bed time, she ___173___ me and said, “Now, I’ve learned your character.” I found myself struggling to keep from choking up.With pandemic restrictions still in place, my sessions with mum have become the ___174___ of my day.

It was ___176___ the end to the journey that led me here, one hike that had ___177___ five months before at Amicalola Falls State Park in Georgia. While ___178___ under the rock, with only two miles ahead, I thought, “This is the ___179___ test? Good one!”My ___180___ had taken me on foot through 14 states along the Appalachian Mountain range, over endless mountains and forests, and through it all, various ___181___ seemed endless too. ___182___, I received random kindness along the way to pull me through.I started the hike without a companion, but I didn’t travel ___183___. Ride-offering “angels”, helpful repairmen and others form a vast ___184___ that keeps the trail running. On day five of my hike, ____185____ in the cold February dusk, I rolled up to a shelter in Georgia and was____186____ by other hikers, among whom a girl about my age ____187____ herself as “Skippy”.

By balancing the effects of long days of hiking on my body, I ____192____ the 2,200-mile journey.When the ____193____ had stopped, my fellow hikers and I pressed on and up. Softly, the clouds slipped away to ____194____ the final half-mile to the summit.

完形填空Intentions matterWhen my daughter was very young, she broke my favorite cup. She was moving it aside, and it slipped from her hand and broke on the floor. I loved that cup and was really disappointed, but __1__ I didn’t punish her. It was an accident. She didn’t __2__ to drop it. Intentions matter. Or do they?I can’t help but feel that our modern world does not __3__ intentions. We are all so ready to find fault with another person and so concerned with our own responses that we don’t consider the __4__ of others.There are __5__ opportunities to be upset these days in the celebrity news cycle, in politics and in our own interpersonal interactions. Every single day, someone is torn apart on social media for something they have said or done.A friend of mine says, “It’s not how the message is intended; it’s how it’s received.” He means that we need to be __6__ when choosing our words because they can easily be __7__ by the person we are addressing.We all at times express ourselves poorly, make errors of judgment or have a moment of__8__ where we say the wrong thing. All of us have offended someone at some point in our lives.The internet is full of people seeking to make things worse. __9__ there are also many decent people who __10__ get things wrong or simply do not know better.I get that there is much to be angry about. The world is full of injustice. The actions and words of other people can cause harm; __11__, the actions and words of other people matter.But intention has to matter too, for us to make sense of the world, and for us to effect change. __12__ intentions can help us to feel better about our fellow humans. When we appreciate intent, it can help to lessen the impact of their message.On a more practical level, understanding intention can help us respond to people with __13__ instead of anger. People who wish to do the right thing are often willing to listen. When we scream at people in anger, we __14__ communication and make them less open to change. Remember, humans are __15__ as divided as social media suggests.Did the person throw the cup, or did it slip from their hands? Now, more than ever, I think theanswer matters.1．A．of course B．after all C．above all D．for example 2．A．choose B．happen C．mean D．expect 3．A．learn from B．object to C．come across D．care for 4．A．business B．intentions C．emotions D．relationships 5．A．endless B．unique C．golden D．ideal 6．A．hopeful B．careful C．cheerful D．helpful 7．A．misinterpreted B．reported C．explained D．commented 8．A．weakness B．madness C．carelessness D．hopelessness 9．A．So B．But C．Or D．And 10．A．purposefully B．generally C．hardly D．occasionally 11．A．however B．besides C．therefore D．although 12．A．Expressing B．Understanding C．Indicating D．Returning 13．A．sadness B．kindness C．happiness D．illness 14．A．make use of B．look forward to C．talk about D．shut down 15．A．rarely B．specially C．suddenly D．simplyThe news that Derby has approved what promises to be Britain’s largest urban rewilding project so far is very welcome. The 320-hectare Allestree Park will, subject to detailed consultation, be given over to a range of habitats and perhaps even see the reintroduction of species such as dormice and red kites.Urban rewilding - which is not the same as urban green space, however extensive - can take many forms. They ____16____ from aiming to slow down the rate of species loss by ____17____ swift (雨燕) and sparrow boxes to new apartment constructions (there are now 247m fewer house sparrows than there were in 1980) to designating areas the size of Allestree Park.But in fact, some of the most successful projects have been ____18____. Canvey Wick, a disused area of the Thames estuary, returned to a “self-wilded rainforest” that is now home to nearly 2,000 invertebrate (无脊椎的) species, including at least three ____19____ thought to be extinct. Rivers ____20____ natural wildlife corridors, working their way through cities, then linking them to countryside. The Guardian columnist George Monbiot gives the example of theRiver Wandle, which in the 19th century supported up to 90 factories, and was described as “the hardest worked river for its size in the world.” Now it teems with (充满着) wildlife, and the local authorities have considered ____21____ beavers (海狸).Urban rewilding, ____22____, won’t make a massive difference to global heating, with only 6% or so of Britain is actually built on it. But giving nature freer rein (控制) in parts of towns and cities could help to mitigate (缓解) flooding, and to slow species loss. Importantly, about 83% of us live on the portion of the UK’s land that is classed as urbanised, and access to nature has also been shown to improve psychological well-being. One recent Canadian study found that adding just 10 trees to a city block had a big effect on people’s ____23____ of their health; research is beginning to find that increasing biodiversity can heighten that impact. And on a more general scale, those who ____24____ wildness are more likely to fight for it.The pressure for development means that there will always be tension with _____25_____ interests: the Swans-combe Peninsula in Kent, another self-wilded area that is home to 1,992 species of invertebrates, including 250 of conservation concern, is now _____26_____ for the London Resort, including a theme park expected to destroy 76 hectares of priority habitat which forms a vital part of the ecological network. This loss would be _____27_____ losing 140 football pitches (球场) _____28_____ of nationally important habitat.In these mid-pandemic, post-Brexit, austerity-bitten (财政紧缩的) times, the financial arguments can be hardest to _____29_____ for councils short of cash, but the evidence that “we need nature as much as it needs us”, in the words of Jo Smith of the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, is surely _____30_____. With a bit of imagination, flexibility and commitment, many more urban areas could follow Derby’s example.16．A．differ B．originate C．range D．develop 17．A．transporting B．attaching C．leading D．transforming 18．A．mature B．established C．reputational D．accidental 19．A．specifically B．fundamentally C．previously D．primarily 20．A．bring about B．serve as C．contribute to D．rely on 21．A．breeding B．launching C．introducing D．favoring 22．A．by contrast B．for instance C．in itself D．in the meanwhile 23．A．appreciations B．perceptions C．insights D．recovery24．A．encounter B．sustain C．create D．promote 25．A．recreational B．political C．industrial D．commercial 26．A．qualified B．maintained C．reserved D．cultivated 27．A．linked to B．inseparable from C．dismissed as D．equivalent to 28．A．value B．profit C．benefit D．worth 29．A．approve B．counter C．settle D．consider 30．A．fundamental B．essential C．overwhelming D．obviousPeople who listen to indie bands are miserable shaggy-haired layabouts(懒惰的人)while fans of rap music are brave and full of self-confidence.____31____ mere narrow-minded opinions, these are the results of an extensive psychological survey of more than 36,000 music lovers, which confirms, once and for all, that our musical tastes really do____32____ our personality. But the study’s most remarkable discovery is that lovers of classical music share a high number of personality traits (特征) with those who prefer rocking out to a heavy metal.The research asked people worldwide to describe their personality and then to list their favourite styles of music. The results show a distinct ____33____ between people’s personality traits and the style of music they enjoy.Fans of indie music, for instance, were found to have low self-respect and little____34____ but described themselves as creative. Rap enthusiasts, ____35____, tend to feel good about themselves and are extremely outgoing. Those who love dance music are____36____ outgoing but are more likely to be unfriendly and slightly self-centred.Professor Adrian North, who led the study, suggested that the results explain why so many people bond over music and also why some of us are very____37____ about the music we listen to, since it is likely to be closely linked to the person we are.According to Professor North, both heavy metal and classical fans are____38____ by a shared “love of the grandiose”, which means that a Metallica fan is far more likely to listen to Mahler than an indie kid is to give reggae a try.“Aside from their age difference, they’re____39____ the same kind of person,” he said. “Lots of heavy metal fans will tell you that they also_____40_____ Wagner, because it’s big andloud. There’s also a sense of theatre in both heavy rock and classical music, and I_____41_____ that this is what they’re really looking to experience when they listen.”John Gregson, 23, a classically-trained musician with a passion for heavy metal,_____42_____. “As an instrumentalist, out of all of the main styles of music, heavy metal and classical are the ones which require the most_____43_____ to play---they’re technically very difficult and involve playing at inhumanly fast speeds,” he said. “You feel like you’re in on a secret---you_____44_____ it personally. It also feels like you know something that other people don’t because you_____45_____ a style of music which is often underestimated.”31．A．Regardless of B．Rather than C．As for D．Apart from 32．A．affect B．reflect C．limit D．conceal 33．A．evolution B．contrast C．improvement D．relationship 34．A．misery B．prejudice C．motivation D．ignorance 35．A．in response B．in addition C．on the other hand D．to sum up 36．A．equally B．individually C．scarcely D．occasionally 37．A．protective B．worried C．curious D．angry 38．A．annoyed B．blinded C．united D．overtaken 39．A．questionably B．basically C．respectively D．originally 40．A．hate B．meet C．miss D．like 41．A．remember B．predict C．forget D．suspect 42．A．agrees B．doubts C．persists D．regrets 43．A．creativity B．sympathy C．discipline D．assistance 44．A．identify with B．choose from C．wait for D．gaze at 45．A．create B．appreciate C．discover D．collectAccording to a survey conducted by for the China Youth Daily, 71.0 percent of the 1,538 people polled said they watched short videos on a____46____basis. 61.8 percent believed that long-term viewing of short videos could interfere with their normal social interactions; and 65.2 percent suggested that video platforms step up in issuingregular____47____so that users could take a break.This appeal for external aids to help____48____ the addictive habit hints at the crushing holdshort videos have on the shiftless majority— many of them are not utterly ____49____self-control in other circumstances.Another recent survey of juveniles found 65.6 percent of them have watched short videos, and 20 percent of them just couldn’t stop watching.For as you click on those seemingly____50____videos, your life will be thrown into a mindless spiral (螺旋)as we eagerly move from one piece to the next, each lasting 20 to 30 seconds, and are shocked, amused, and outraged in rapid____51____.You never have a chance to get____52____, for you are always curious about what the next piece would be like,____53____more. All that is needed is a slight twitching (抽动) of one of your fingers.Respondents do believe some videos could be useful by teaching you how to cook，how to apply make-up, practice wellness, or buy things. There was even an alleged (声称但未经证实的) telecom fraudster publicizing his____54____and daring the police to catch him in Dubai, according to him.It is shocking to realize that a published video itself would have ____55____ acquired a degree of authenticity and enough to prevent all intentions and the need for checking,even____56____ such basic facts as authorship.So it is natural that 36.7 percent of the respondents in the survey cited the issue of false and misleading content in short videos as an issue, and relevant authorities should have stepped in long ago to____57____it.Yes, juvenile-only modes have been____58____for some time, but it is so easy for children to avoid this.____59____ , there is an equal need for a mechanism to prevent adults from becoming addicted, notably by limiting the lime they are allowed to view the videos. Thus, when37.0 percent of the respondents said that, as far as viewing habits are concerned, parents should bea role model to prevent the imitation of juveniles. Maybe all parents should____60____their mobile phones for a moment of self-reflection.46．A．regular B．personal C．social D．satisfied 47．A．signals B．innovation C．alerts D．clues 48．A．kick B．develop C．foster D．deprive49．A．with B．under C．through D．without 50．A．attractive B．unharmful C．meaningful D．popular 51．A．speed B．succession C．transition D．movement 52．A．thrilled B．horrified C．bored D．delighted 53．A．expecting B．growing C．addicting D．foreseeing 54．A．competence B．identification C．enthusiasm D．willingness 55．A．automatically B．consciously C．insanely D．likely 56．A．ignoring B．predicting C．meditating D．regarding 57．A．represent B．address C．interfere D．stress 58．A．on schedule B．out of order C．in place D．in need 59．A．In fact B．For example C．Therefore D．Instead 60．A．focus on B．live without C．give way to D．put asideAt the Noori Convenience Store LaShanda Calloway, a 27-year-old man, was lying unconscious on the floor, badly wounded and in desperate need of help, and yet the five people present in the store walked past him and carried on with their shopping. The truth of the matter was that this type of occurrence wasn’t____61____, and the shoppers’ motivations weren’t that difficult to understand.We all like to think that we can____62____when the situation requires it, our moral codes prompting us to react in a proper and acceptable way. However, what really happens when we’re ____63____is something quite different. The vast majority of people do nothing: something is holding them back. The LaShanda Calloway case is a classic example of this: it’s what social psychologists call ‘the bystander effect’.Studies have shown that the bystander effect is caused by several different____64____made by people at the scene of an emergency or other distressing event. Firstly, having other people around is one of the main causes of____65____. The reason for this is people tend to assume that someone else is either already helping or____66____to offer aid.We also____67____situations through ‘social proof’ or the information we gather from others. If other people are not____68____, perhaps there is no emergency or wrongdoing. We don’t want to make an embarrassing mistake, so we____69____and do nothing. This results in‘pluralistic ignorance’(人众无知) where everyone assumes that others have more knowledge, and people yield to what they perceive as the majority opinion.____70____of personal risk also plays a part. If someone is attacked or in deep trouble and you intervene, there is a risk of you becoming a new target for the aggressor or____71____the friction.So how do people manage to reverse the trend and intervene? What stimulates them into action? And what causes other people to bury their heads in the sand?Studies have shown that active bystanders have generally had a more tolerant and empathetic upbringing, which stimulates greater____72____for the welfare of others.
