第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解Central ParkExplore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York. Let’s have a look at its main sights.Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4km2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this greenspace of New York.Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).On Foot or by BicycleTo get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.Open TimeFrom 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays.PriceEntry to the Park is free. But if you visit some parts like Central Park Zoo, you need to buy a ticket.TransportSubway: Line 5, 6, 7, A, B, C and D．Bus: Line M1, M2, M3, M4 and M10.Nearby placesMetropolitan Museum of Art (447 m)Guggenheim Museum (564 m)American Museum of Natural History (688 m)Whitney Museum of American Art (1 km)The Frick Collection (1.3 km)1．What can we learn about the Central Park from the text?A．It is home to lakes and waterfalls.B．It is perfect for doing outdoor sports.C．It is the largest city park in the world.D．It is the most famous symbol of New York.2．Which one of the following things is free?A．Hiring a bicycle. B．Entrance to Central Park.C．Visiting Central Park Zoo. D．Going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 3．Where can we find this text?A．In a science report. B．In a geography book.C．In a fashion magazine. D．In a travel guide.Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between US$250 and US$1,500. That’s not enough to make ends meet, but it has made him whole again. He lost both arms in an accident.“Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world,” Damon said.He was a worker in a car factory. One day when he was working, there was a gas explosion (爆炸), killing one worker and injuring him.“I lost my right arm above the elbow, about three inches above the elbow, and my leftabout six inches below,” he explained.“How am I going to make a living and take care of my family? I had always worked with my hands,” he said.Then with a simple little drawing, a new future opened up for him.“I thought it was wonderful in a way,” Damon said. “Something was telling me to focus on this and everything will be alright.” Damon doesn’t have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)—just a hook (钩子), which he finds works best.He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he shows the works of local artists. With his disability check from the government, he can afford to be an artist. He is a man doing what he wants with his life, a nd doesn’t look at his situation as a hard time.“I don’t see it that way,” Damon said. “Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on what’s important in life.”He believes his best work is still ahead of him. But with his pictures of simple American scenes, Damon has already produced his best work.4．How did Damon lose his arms?A．A gas explosion injured his arms.B．He was attacked when he was driving a car.C．His arms were trapped by a worker by accident.D．He was knocked down by a car when he was working.5．What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text? A．His hope for life was brought back.B．He felt a lot of pressure at the beginning.C．He didn’t earn enough to support his family.D．His paintings were so expensive that few people wanted to buy them.6．What is Damon’s attitude towards his suffering?A．Wonderful. B．Positive.C．Pitiful. D．Uncertain.7．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Winners do what losers don’t want to do.B．Nothing is impossible if you try your best.C．God closes a door and another will open for you.D．Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today’s students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential (必要的) to young people’s happiness.The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15-percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.One reason for the emphasis (强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues (问题) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don’t shut them off when graduation rolls around. 8．What does the underlined word “echoing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Learning . B．Repeating.C．Believing. D．Creating.9．What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world? A．The habits students develop in society.B．The appearance of important social issues.C．The encouragement of the culture of colleges.D．The effect parents’ education has on their children.10．What can you learn from the passage?A．Young people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work. B．Less than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values. C．Most college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work.D．Female graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates. 11．Which could be the best title for the passage?A．Female Students Are Concerned about SocietyB．Young People’s Happiness Doesn’t Depend on MoneyC．Graduates Become More Interested in Challenging JobsD．Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a DifferenceDid you ever have to say “no” to somebody? Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you? New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应）after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay— even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”12．Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection?A．Because they think it is more polite.B．Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.C．Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.D．Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.13．In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people ________.A．rejected others without an apologyB．offered an apology when rejecting othersC．would be more hurt by a rejection with an apologyD．were asked to answer the question in different situations14．What role does an apology play in rejection?A．It makes the rejection more acceptable.B．It makes a good impression on the listener.C．It makes the communication more pleasant.D．It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.15．What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph?A．The effect of an apology during a rejection.B．Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.C．A rejection with an apology in a business situation.D．The difference between a social situation and a business one.二、完形填空It happened when our grandchild, Anne, was three years old. My husband, Paul, asked her if there was anything she wanted to plant in our garden. She had an answer—Fritos (油炸玉米饼).“Anne, Fritos might not 16 in this soil,” he said. But Anne looked at her grandfather and said that if the other 17 could grow, so would Fritos. Paul 18 this in the simplest way possible. He sent Anne running to the house for Fritos.That evening, I asked Paul, “Are you 19 ?”“She will forget it,” he 20 . The next day, Anne asked again. To gain time, Paul said it would 21 two weeks for Fritos to come out. That should be plenty of time for her to forget, he thought.For the next two weeks, she arrived every evening to 22 her “Frito land”. Anne grew more 23 . But with each passing day, Paul became more and more 24 . By the 13th day, he had 25 a plan, and the next morning we began to work.We planted two plants where the Fritos were 26 . Then we began the difficult task of tying Fritos around the leaves of the plants. At last, that was quite a 27 off our mind. Anne ran straight to the garden as 28 . We were shocked when she shouted, “Grandpa! They’re up! The Fritos came up!”The story was repeated several times. When Anne was in second grade, it was finally29 until the day her teacher talked about the topic of 30 . As part of the lesson, the teacher asked each child to 31 something that grows in a garden. You can 32 what Anne said!Anne’s paren ts 33 it was time to tell the truth. Their daughter sat very still while they talked, and when they finished, she remained 34 . Suddenly, Anne burst out 35 and said, “That’s the best joke Grandpa ever played on me.”16．A．exit B．grow C．make D．work 17．A．animals B．vegetables C．families D．fruits 18．A．dealt with B．made up C．cut down D．took away 19．A．kind B．humorous C．crazy D．foolish 20．A．questioned B．doubted C．ignored D．promised 21．A．pay B．spend C．cost D．take 22．A．check B．move C．decorate D．value 23．A．lonely B．excited C．beautiful D．smart 24．A．frightened B．shocked C．worried D．puzzled 25．A．come across B．picked up C．broken down D．worked out 26．A．swept B．burnt C．tied D．buried 27．A．peace B．thought C．weight D．anger 28．A．normal B．usual C．ordinary D．common 29．A．forgotten B．forgiven C．discussed D．punished 30．A．gardening B．working C．sighting D．painting 31．A．buy B．plant C．name D．sell 32．A．order B．judge C．guess D．offer 33．A．managed B．realized C．imagined D．wondered 34．A．brave B．afraid C．popular D．silent 35．A．laughing B．crying C．shouting D．burning第II卷（非选择题)三、七选五Do you have a place you’ve always wanted to visit? If the answer is yes, have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?36．Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhood, most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous. The thought of going on a trip alone excites and terrifies them at the same time. Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures.It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone. 37．For example, being alone on the road, you might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go. If you join a tour halfway, you may be asked why you don’t have friends or family around. 38．First, traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying about others’ needs and wants. If you want, you can read on a bench beside a river for the whole afternoon without being disturbed (打扰). You are free to walk around on different streets. 39．You can also remove that dull daily routine (常规) that always makes you feel tired.If you make good use of it, traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey ofself-discovery, as you’ll finally have time to think about your life.40．All you need to do is pack your bags, take your passport, gather up your courage and go somewhere. Go out and enjoy being alone, explore the unknown, make some friends, read a book, and get to know more about yourself and the world.A．Traveling by yourself is also quite easy.B．You can go to shopping malls and explore the city.C．For many people, traveling alone can be frightening.D．There are also some unpleasant moments one might run into.E．It is important to take some time off and think about the methods.F．But anyhow, I still suggest that you travel alone at least once in your life. G．Traveling alone helps us figure out what we really want to fight for in this big world.四、单词拼写根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，将空缺处单词的正确形式写在答题纸上。

After viewing his broadcasts, many netizens expressed a desire to visit the museum when it reopens after the COVID-19 outbreak.It is estimated that more than 30 museums in China, including the National Museum of China and the Dunhuang Academy China, have hosted live broadcasts on online platforms during the epidemic (流行病), each gaining over 10 million viewers in one day. The Gansu Provincial Museum, one of the museums that have been exploring online platforms and using them, attracted as many as 900, 000 viewers at one point in its live broadcasts, more than half of its total viewers last year, according to the deputy curator (副馆长) of the museum.

But one small town in Vermont, US, has closed its roads to the public due to the overwhelming (压倒性的) number of tourists, reported the news site Local 10.Famous for its beautiful autumn leaves, Pomfret, a small town with over 900 people, has been crowded with tourists attracted by beautiful pictures of the town shared on social media sit es like TikTok and Instagram. This has led to “significant safety, environmental and quality of life issues, ” the Select Board of Pomfret wrote in a message to the community.Admittedly, the popularity of social media has opened up more of the world for visitors to explore. By using functions such as geotagging (地理标记) through which you can share your location, people are looking for and sharing these destinations, especially in rural areas like the small town of Pomfret. A rise in social media presence also brings the potential for greater tourism income and jobs for people in these travel sites.Social media is also often blamed for causing over-tourism. These places aren’t properly equipped to receive tourists. They can easily become overcrowded. Overcrowding leads to the worst problems of tourism: more traffic and rubbish, without more money coming in.Social media has changed not only the destinations people travel to, but the way they behave once they get there. Getting the perfect photo is a top priority (优先事项) for many. “People are dressing for the photo rather than the destination or the customs, and there can be a big disconnect there, ” Lauren Siegel of the University of Greenwich said.8．Why did Pomfret decide to close its roads to the public?A. Some important people will visit it.B. Local people don’t like outsiders.C. Overcrowding has caused problems.D. The town needs some reconstruction.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.

The popularity of sharing locations on social media.10．Why can places like Pomfret be easily overcrowded?A. They offer tourists high-quality service.B. They lack good tourist control measures.C. They advertise too much on social media.D. They don’t have the proper tourist facilities (设施).11．According to the text, how has social media changed travelers’ behavior?A. They dress appropriately for their destinations.B. They pay more attention to the local customs.C. They disconnect from social media.D. They are more focused on taking photos.“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change,” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world.This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building up on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children don’t know how to play without using technology.Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside and 97% believethat time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self-directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity. 12．What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day?A. Have PE. classes on the playgrounds.B. Have a day off and go playing anywhere.C. Learn and play by using natural things outside.D. Play on their own without the teachers’ guidance.13．Why do children spend less time outdoors?A. Schools stop providing playgrounds.B. Adults ignore the importance of playtime.C. Parents prefer to homeschool their children.D. Technology helps children learn better at home.14．What’s the school teachers’ attitude towards the campaign?A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Unconcerned.D. Negative. 15．What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce an activity.B. To advertise a product.C. To entertain the public.D. To persuade students to play.Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners. In a new study, dog owners took 2, 760 additional steps-compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. But here’s the real good news: That extra exercise could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored (监控) continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was connected with a large, potentially health-improving effect.Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes against 96 minutes on average. They also took an additional 2, 760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at proper pace, 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, against just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that adults get at least 150 minutes ofphysical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could satisfy that requirement, say the researchers - so it makes sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or keep their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved cognition (认知), and perhaps, even a long life, ” she said. Here at Health, we’ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits as well.16．What can we learn about the research?A. It was targeted at old people.B. It had an undesirable effect on dog owners.C. It was sponsored (资助) by the BMC Public Heal.D. It mainly considered the mental health of dog owners.17．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A. To show the guidelines of the research.B. To present the results of the research.C. To describe the process of doing the research.D. To explain the reasons for conducting the research.18．What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog?A. It will take a lot of time.B. It will surely help people live a long life.C. It enables older adults to live a healthy life.D. It helps young adults to improve their quality of life.19．What is the best title for the text?A. Young people walk less todayB. Animal lovers are healthierC. Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasureD. Dog owners walk way more二、七选五20．At school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate?

Despite achieving financial(财务的) success by selling her startup for millions of dollars, Alexa believes that true happiness comes from things that money can’t buy.During her undergraduate studies in psychology, Alexa had the opportunity to study at Harvard’s Leadership and Happiness Laboratory, also known as the “Happiness Lab”. This experience gave her a new understanding on what truly brings happiness. She discovered that it’s the simple routines and daily actions that create a sense of community and connection, rather than material wealth.Alexa’s mindset(思维模式) still influences her work. She believes that finding happiness is more important than just making money. Alexa thinks it’s important to take pride in the process of building a company, rather than only focus ing on the financial outcomes.She applies this attitude to her personal life as well. Alexa and her husband value celebrating the journey rather than just the end results, even when it comes to raising their kids.While at Harvard, Alexa was greatly inspired by Tal Ben-Shahar and Shawn Achor, who taught a popular course on “Positive Psychology”. This field emphasizes finding joy and satisfaction by connecting with others, being grateful, and having a positive mindset.For Alexa, the lessons from her time at Harvard still remind her to focus on whatever brings her joy in her life, rather than obsessing over money or materials. “The daily effortdrives happiness, not the outcome,” she says.4．When did Alexa have a new understanding of happiness?A．After she graduated from college.B．After she married her husband.C．When she studied at Harvard.D．When she was 30 years old.5．What is the mindset in Alexa’s family?A．The result isn’t important at all.B．The richer you are, the happier you are.C．The more successful you are, the happier you are.D．The process is more important than the outcome.6．Who inspired Alexa greatly at Harvard?A．Her psychology teacher.B．Her literature teacher.C．Her physics teacher.D．Her PE teacher.7．What does the under lined phrase“obsessing over”probably mean in the last paragraph?A．Referring to.B．Caring about.C．Getting along with.D．Taking over.Due to the heavy academic pressure and safety issues, our children’s movements are limited by a lack of extra-curricular activities, which usually ensure that they meet the daily recommended level of physical activity.For those children attending a high school, my own included, the morning and afternoon walk could be the only chance that they get to spend time outside. This is a golden opportunity to add sports into their day, without taking part in group sports or going to a closed indoor gym(健身房).For walking to school, there are also many other benefits, such as improving school performance, reducing anxiety, improving spirits, better sleep, a sense of independence,opportunities to meet friends or think alone, paying attention to small details and being amazed by the surrounding environment.However, parents still have fears. Parents fear cars, injury, extreme weather and even wild animals. These fears, many of which are almost impossible to happen, prevent parents from allowing their children to do something that’s actually beneficial to them. “Removing anopportunity to be active leads to an increase in childhood obesity(肥胖), which can have a greater negative impact on a child’s life than the risk of being injured due to being active,” saidDr. Mariana Brussoni, a professor who researches children’s outdoor and risky play.When it comes to changing the culture around parents driving children to school, much work still needs to be done. Therefore, parents should try to let go slowly and give up the idea that driving their children to school is convenient. Brussoni said, “We hope to shift parents from focusing on protecting their children to trusting their independent abilities.Schools can also play a role in encouraging children to walk to school.”8．Who is the text most probably written to?A．Professors.B．Parents.C．Teachers.D．Grandparents. 9．What is parents’ worry about children’s walking to school?A．Children’s school performance.B．Children’s physical health.C．Children’s men tal health.D．Children’s safety.10．What’s the author’s attitude towards driving children to school?A．Unclear.B．Unconcerned.C．Doubtful.D．Negative. 11．What’s the main idea of this text?A．Walking to school is beneficial to students.B．Children prefer to go to school on foot.C．Parents worry about their children ‘s obesity.D．It’s too dangerous for children to walk to school.On an ordinary fossil-hunting (化石搜寻) outing, the members of the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club might expect to find a few interesting shells (壳). But on a 2006 trip to Kawhia Harbour in New Zealand’s North Island, the students discovered the bones of a fossilized huge penguin (企鹅).“We were expecting to find common fossils — shells, but were hugely shocked to find a huge animal skeleton (骨架) just lying on the beach,” said Mike Safey, president of the club.“Our club’s fossil expert Chris Templer realised immediately that we had discovered something hugely important. We made the decision to rescue this fossil, otherwise it would have been completely destroyed by weather.”Researchers from Massey University used 3D scanning to compare the fossils to digitalized bones from all over the world. The penguin fossil is between 27.3 and 34.6 millionyears old, according to Daniel Thomas, a senior lecturer in Massey’s School of Natural andComputational Sciences. It is similar to Kairuku penguins but with longer legs. Researchers named it “Kairuku waewaeroa” for this characteristic.Around 1.4 meters tall, this penguin was much huger compared to living penguins. We know that body size can be an important factor when thinking about ecology. How and why did penguins become huge, and why aren’t there any huge penguins left? Well-preserved fossils like Kairuku waewaeroa can help us answer these questions.“The discovery is important for researchers, and it was also rewarding for the students who found it and encourages other young people to go out in nature and make their own discoveries. It reminds us that ancient New Zealand had many kinds of birds, and emphasizes how important New Zealand is for bird diversity today,” Thomas says.12．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A science magazine.B．A health lecture.C．A storybook.D．An advertisement.13．What surprised the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club?A．An interesting shell.B．A huge penguin.C．A huge penguin fossil.D．A new kind of penguin.14．What may Thomas agree with?A．Ancient New Zealand had various birds.B．Teenagers should go out to find fossils.C．Researchers should scan the bird carefully.D．New Zealand has a number of huge penguins.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．New Zealand’s birds are in danger todayB．New Zealand is suitable for penguins to live inC．School kids should go out for discoveriesD．The fossil of a huge penguin was found in New ZealandConfidence is a feeling of trust in your abilities, qualities and judgment. Building confidence is like building a house. You need to start with a solid foundation, then construct everything else from there. It takes time and effort to improve your confidence, especially ifyour self-confidence with these how-to guides.17 It’s easier said than done, but daily, positive thoughts about what you’re able to do can improve your confidence. Everyone has days when staying positive is tough, but force yourself to remember one good thing you like about who you are every morning until it’s a habit.Do things you’re good at. What happens when you do things that you are good at? 18 Your strengths become even stronger, which helps improve your belief in yourself. Taking this approach also has another benefit: It can increase how satisfied you are with your life.Spend time with positive people. The people around you greatly impact how you feel about yourself. If judgmental or critical people surround you, it’ll take a toll(产生负面影响)on your mental strength. If, however, you’re interacting with people who can cheer others on and support one another, you’ll feel much better. 19Take care of yourself. Focusing on you and what you need sometimes feel like it’s selfish,but it’s not! 20 Taking care of yourself can help you take care of others, but it can also help boost your self-confidence. Easy ways to start include taking a break when you’re overwhelmed(不堪重负的), wearing your favorite outfit, or doing something you love.A．Act as if you feel confident.B．Your self-confidence starts to rise.C．It’s a necessary part of being human.D．However, it is something that everyone can do!E．Think positively about yourself and your skills.F．Actually, it’s hard to feel good about yourself if you overuse your health.G．So focus on creating healthier relationships with the positive people in your life.二、完形填空curious and eager to join one.

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parts less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of reallyinteresting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.”His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.【题1】What is the problem with the author’s children?A．They often annoy their neighbours.B．They are tired of doing their homework. C．They have no friends to play with D．They stay in front of screens for too long.【题2】How did David Bond advocate his idea?A．By making a documentary film.B．By organizing outdoor activities.C．By advertising in London media.D．By creating a network of friends.【题3】 Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2? A．records B．predicts C．delays D．confirms【题4】What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Let Children Have Fun B．Young Children Need More Free Time C．Market Nature to Children D．David Bond: A Role Model for Children(★★★)3. Independent living at home is the ideal for every aging person. But a fall or other health-threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.The wearable “panic buttons” introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative. “People aren’t devoted to wearing small devices 24/7, and camera-based systems are an invasion（侵犯）of privacy,” he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes peoplestay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to solve that problem.”Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two persons, in a future version) in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture（姿势）, motion and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified（认证）in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually.” said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. “Bathroom makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s solution.” Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-invading cameras.”【题1】What’s the advantage of ECHO over “panic buttons”?A．It has camera-based systems.B．It has been widely accepted.C．It can function without cameras.D．Its buttons can be easily reached.【题2】What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?A．It is designed to send out warnings regularly.B．It monitors dangerous health-related events.C．It was certified in many developed countries.D．It detects more than one person at the same time.【题3】What can we infer about the future of ECHO?A．It’ll become more popular with the elderly.B．It’ll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.C．It’ll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.D．It’ll help elderly people to live an active life.【题4】What can be the best title for the passage?A．An Advanced Medical InstrumentB．A High-tech Monitor for the ElderlyC．The Invention of a Healthcare DeviceD．The Improvement of a Medical Facility(★★★)4. It's not easy feeling like you're always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make. Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again. You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes. You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you. You seek to be socially perfect.Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks. Although most would say "it's good to have high standards，"they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection. If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed, but you're far from failing, you just don't see it that way. So instead you are telling yourself that you're stupid, and not smart. The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the "not good enough" label each and every day.You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others. If people don't perform up to your expectations, then you think them incompetent. This causes a lot of frustration because you can't trust anyone to get things right. So instead of being a team player you fly solo(单飞)and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that's damaging our emotional and mental health. We strive for perfection with our body, in our performance，and in our relationships. In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect？We all have flaws, fears, and make mistakes, and that's perfectly OK. It's our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger more adaptable person. We don't have to strive to achieve the impossible. We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.【题1】Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary.B．A magazine.C．A novel.D．A guide book.【题2】Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree？A．Be generous with praise.B．Nobody is perfect.C．There is no best, only better.D．A contented mind is an everlasting feast.【题3】What can we infer from paragraph 4？A．The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.B．More and more people are tolerating mistakes.C．Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.D．It's unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.【题4】What does the author think of imperfection？A．It's unbearable.B．It's part of our life.C．It deserves to be overcome.D．It does harm to our mental health.二、七选五(★★★)5. According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.【题1】 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 【题2】 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.【题3】 ? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 【题4】 .And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）. 【题5】 . Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.A．How do you know the hostB．The first step is to go exploringC．If you ask the question “How did you get here?”D．Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangersE．Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to sayF．What about that person who had too much to drink or won’t stop talkingG．He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most三、完形填空(★★★)6.
