After all, she's already got her master's degree. The North Chicago­area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的 ) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters. At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor's degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings. She doesn't stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it's a mix of two of her interests. In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self­published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life. 49. What can we know about Thessalonika from the passage? A. She majored in science and technology. B. She gained her master's degree at the age of 11. C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old. D. She got her bachelor's degree through online courses. 50. What is Thessalonika's next plan according to the passage? A. Majoring in aviation psychology. B. Being active in her youth group. C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings. D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses. 51. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier? A. To help people to be successful. B. To raise concern about psychology. C. To share her own experience with others. D. To give students a hand to complete college. 52. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Homeschooling. B. To Be a Genius. C. Three Published Books. D. The Story of Thessalonika. C Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report. The report's authors are calling for urgent action to restore (修复) the natural world. The Living Planet Report (LPR) is produced every two years by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London. The most recent report, released on October 13, 2022, shows that almost 70% of the world's monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018. The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world. Data was collected from almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species. Although the average global loss of wildlife is 69%, the rate is greater in the global south. Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970. Across the world, the biggest drop was in freshwater populations of wildlife — including almost 1,400 species of mammals (哺乳动物), birds, fish, amphibians (两栖动物) and reptiles (爬行动物) — which have decreased by 83%. The report identifies several causes for wildlife loss, including hunting, farming, the loss of forests, pollution and climate change. However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment. Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures "terrifying", and said, "We need to restore nature and not simply halt its loss." In December 2022, world leaders are meeting in Montreal for the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP 15. The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature. "Government leaders must step up at COP 15," said Lambertini. "The world is watching." 53. What does the author mainly want to show by listing the numbers in the first three paragraphs? A. The causes of the urgent situation. B. The detailed process of the research. C. The severity of wildlife loss worldwide. D. The drop in freshwater populations of wildlife. 第 4 页 共 6 页 54. According to the report, what is a possible solution to population decline of wildlife? A. Stop hunting and farming. B. Ban the production of wildlife food. C. Offer legal protection of natural environment. D. Replace the fossil fuels with renewable energy 55. What does the underlined word "halt" mean in the last paragraph? A. Accept. B. Stop C. Fear. D. Suffer. 56. What is Lambertini's attitude towards wildlife loss? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Ambiguous. D. Concerned. D Many of us are familiar with the anxiety that can consume us ahead of speaking or performing in public. Throats run dry, sweat drops, and it can feel like everyone hears your quickly beating heart. But scientists wondered: Is the anxiety driving the heart to beat faster or could an increased heart rate cause anxiety? A new study published today explores this link in mice, showing that speeding up a mouse's heart rate made otherwise calm animals act more anxious. The finding indicates heart activity can influence mental state — and finding ways to lower heart rate may be a way to treat mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. The research team introduced ChRmine (泵状光敏感通道蛋白) into heart muscle cells of live mice whose torsos (躯干) were fitted with a vest equipped with a micro light­emitting bulb (电灯泡). Light from the bulb then shined the skin of the mice to stimulate ChRmine within the cells. The result: a small pacemaker made the animals' hearts beat faster. Because the team could just turn the light on and off, “We were now able to control heart rates using this wearable," said Ritchie Chen, a bioengineer at Stanford and an author of the study. In the future, Deisseroth and his team want to make periods longer than used in the current experiment to see whether increased heart rate over weeks or months can lead to an increase or worsening of anxiety or depression­like behaviors. If the findings can be copied in other settings, particularly with people, they could have potentials for treating mental health conditions. Current medicines are not foolproof and often take months to work Going through the heart may be a quicker, more effective alternative. “Operating the heart is much easier than operating the brain,” Gogolla says. “We may actually unlock new treatment strategies for patients with anxiety or depressive disorder.” 57. What's the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To prove previous theories. B. To show the puzzle of scientists. C. To highlight the importance of the findings. D. To explain the background knowledge of the study. 58. Why is the bulb used in the experiment? A. To see more clearly. B. To relieve anxiety. C. To stimulate ChRmine in the cells. D. To rid the fear of mice. 59. What does Gogolla suggest? A. Clarifying the purpose of the study. B. Realizing the potential of the findings. C. Conducting research on human beings only. D. Carrying out new strategies in the experiment 60. What is the best title for the text? A. New Dawn on Mood Disorders B. Links between the Heart and the Brain C. Mice Are More Sensitive than Human D. A Newly­designed Vest Is on Sale 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips. Be honest with yourself Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse. 61 So before taking action towards any attempt, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, "Who am I doing this for?" 62 However, if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself. Honor your limits 63 Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable (脆弱的). The truth is you have limited energy and time. It is important that you are wise with your resources. The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost. Stop comparing yourself to others People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you desire. Stop comparing yourself to others. 64 Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your values and goals. 65 You are likely your worst critic. You secretly say things to yourself that you would never have the heart to tell others. Remember to have realistic expectations of yourself. When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level. If the goal is unrealistic, then you have to say no and adjust your expectations. A. Be fair to yourself. 第 5 页 共 6 页 B. Stay true to yourself. C. You can't be everything for everyone. D. The reality is that you are not being recognized. E. What someone is doing with their life has nothing to do with you. F. If a pursuit will truly improve the quality of your life, then go for it. G. The same can be said about other pursuits such as accumulating wealth and status. 第四部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节 完形填空（共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My name is Carmen Cruz and I am seventy­seven years old.

(Text 10) Most Americans treat their pets like family members. It means Americans love their pets. And they provide them with a proper home, food, exercise, and medical care. Americans love pets and it is not just puppy love. Sometimes, they add to their interest to their pets with entertaining videos and amusing toys. If they have an eye for fashion, pets' owners can dress their pets in pretty clothes. For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell nice or less basely. You might see Americans treat their pets like they treat their children, sometimes even better. The most common pets in the US are dogs, cats, birds and fish.
