The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by students from a small school of only about fifty people. The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans, the teachers decided to teach students to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land and learn to help each other when doing the rice farming outside the classroom. What’s better, the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money, the school could help students who wished to travel abroad some day. Today the dream is coming true — the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences, and have fun over there! “We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world,” said one of the teachers. 1. Who got the idea of growing healthy rice? A. The headmaster. B. The students. C. The teachers. D. The farmers. 2. What does the underlined words “the dream” in the last paragraph mean? A. The teachers’ plan to grow healthy rice. B. The school’s aim to make more money. C. The farmers’ hope to build more schools. D. The students’ wish to visit foreign countries. 3. What is the text mainly about? A. A successful school project. B. A farming class for farmers. C. A new way to make money. D. An exciting trip to Japan. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3.

The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by students from a small school of only about fifty people.(两年前，泰国的一个小镇开始种植一种健康的水稻。这种健康的水稻不是农民种植的，而是一所只有大约50人的学校的学生种植的)”可知，本文主要讲述的是一所学校推行的种植项目，结合后文内容可知，这一项目取得了成功，因此可知，本文主要是关于“一个成功的学校项目”。故选A。 【点睛】 Things to do in Miyakojima Fresh island food Delight your senses with juicy, melt-in-your-mouth Miyako beef, delicious Miyako soba (noodles served in broth), or fresh fruit.

Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires. Box Hill To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles.

Chess Valley in the Chilterns Chess Valley in the Chiltern Hills isn’t home to any chess masters, but it used to produce a kind of water plant.

Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.( 步行后的酒吧：庞伯恩17世纪的酒吧The Swan供应高档菜肴。在河边收拾一张桌子，或者在篝火旁烤一烤)”，“Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.(步行后的酒吧：盒子山上洞穴般的树有一个吸引人的菜单和巨大的啤酒花园，或在Denbies Winerie品尝一杯杜松山)”，“Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.(散步后的酒吧：在老派的惠灵顿酒吧总有10种真正的啤酒)”，以及“Post-walk pub: The George & Dragon is a simple old coaching pub on the High Street with a log fire, real beers and giant burgers.(散步后的酒吧：乔治和龙是高街上一家简单的老教练酒吧，有篝火、真正的啤酒和巨大的汉堡)”可知， 17世纪的风格的、吸引人的菜单、十种啤酒、老式驿站，都是有特色的小酒馆，由此可推知，它们的共同点在于游客可以在散步后到有特色的酒吧放松。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段“There are plenty of walking routes in London.

This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk. It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country. This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood. But how do the birds learn? It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds. 13. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2mean? A. Eye-catching. B. Care-free. C. Naughty. D. Attractive. 14. What can we know about the birds? A. They are raised by humans. B. They help cut open the tree trunk. C. They feed on honey as their annual diet. D. They can distinguish different whistles. 15. Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering? A. A complex dilemma. B. An unfair trade. C. A double-edged sword. D. A win-win cooperation. 16. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The familiar signal in the forest. B. A talented expert in hunting the bees. C. A wonderful guide to collecting honey. D. The human-animal communication in Tanzania. 【答案】13. A 14. D 15. D 16. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一种将人类带到有蜂巢的树上的非洲野鸟似乎不知何故学会了住在它们附近的人类觅食者独特的口哨声和叫声，从而帮助人类和自己获得蜂蜜。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“With its noisy chattering sound(这只鸟叽叽喳喳叫得很响)”可知，响亮的叫声这只鸟引人注目，由此可知，conspicuous意为“引人注目的”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.(研究发现，当播放当地人熟悉的信号时，这些鸟更有可能出现。根据这项研究，当哈扎哨声响起时，这些鸟出现的几率为82%。但当研究人员吹响另一个国家传统上使用的哨子时，它们出现的几率只有24%。)”可知，这些鸟能够区分不同的哨声。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years.(可以肯定的是，这种人类与动物之间的交流似乎对双方都有好处，而且这种交流可能可以追溯到几千年前。)”可知，这个采蜜的过程是一个双赢的合作。故选D。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了一种将人类带到有蜂巢的树上的非洲野鸟似乎不知何故学会了住在它们附近的人类觅食者独特的口哨声和叫声，从而帮助人类和自己获得蜂蜜。由此可知，C项：A wonderful guide to collecting honey.(一个收集蜂蜜的好向导。)是最合适的标题。故选C。 The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people. These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match. For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites. All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. ·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989. ·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927. ·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960. ·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922. ·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927. 17. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold? A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000. 18. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest? A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field. 19. What do the listed stadiums have in common? A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions. C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects. 【答案】17. D 18. C 19. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最大的体育场。目前这些体育场仍在运行并且还在承办大型体育赛事。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.(然而，与这座城市容纳了25万人的大竞技场相比，这只是小巫见大巫。)”可知，Circus Maximus的可以容纳250,000人。故选D项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后部分中的“Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened October 7, 1922.(美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄体育场，容纳人数：104,944人。1922年10月7日开业。)”可知Ohio Stadium在1922年10月7日开业；由最后一段“Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927. （密歇根体育场，美国密歇根州安阿伯市，容量: 107,601人，开业日期: 1927年10月1日。）可知Michigan Stadium的开业时间是1927年10月1日；由文中最后一段“Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960. （美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学海狸体育馆，可容纳106,572人。开放时间: 1960年9月17日。）可知Beaver Stadium的开业时间是1960年9月17日；最后一段“Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.（凯尔菲尔德，学院站，得克萨斯州，容量: 102,512。开放时间: 1927年9月24日。）”可知Kyle Field的开业时间是1927年9月24日；通过对比，Ohio Stadium的开业时间最久远，是最老的体育场。故选C项。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. (所有这些体育场馆仍在使用，仍在开放，仍在举办世界上最大的体育赛事。)”可知，这些体育馆都还在承办大型的体育赛事，这是他们的共同点。故选A项。 The end of a semester can be a challenging time for students. Kids from elementary school through high school are already stressed after more than a year of C0VID-19 disrupted learning. Pressing through the last few weeks of a semester can be discouraging, especially for older students with demanding final projects and exams. “Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades. Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”. In addition, peer support programs can also play an important role in teaching skills for stress management and wellness. “Teens will talk to other teens, especially when they feel they are in a brave space built on trust,” Katie Hurley, a psychotherapist says. Some children may arrive at the finish line exhausted and needing sleep. Or perhaps they are eager to celebrate the holidays with all the usual fanfare. Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends. Her holiday plan apparently reflects that. “It is the most important thing they need right now,” she says. “Our children need to know that they are not alone.” 20. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A Children are struggling in study in the present situation. B. Children’s focusing on grades makes them stay stuck in learning. C. Parents stay stuck in making their children live to work out. D. Parents’ fear about children getting stuck in study is unnecessary. 21. Why does the author mention Madeline Levine? A. To ask parents to stay calm before their kids. B. To show the necessity of talking to kids before tests. C. To make parents let go of their kids during COVID-19. D. To stress the importance of the help from the experts. 22. What does “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Staying with kids in holidays. B. Respecting the needs of kids. C. Helping kids celebrate holidays. D. Keeping exhausted kids happy. 23. What does the author want to show? A. Parents should help kids to prepare their tests. B. Parents should keep a closer eyes on kids study. C. Parents should connect their kids more with nature. D. Parents should let kids take a break from school stress. 【答案】20. D 21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了从小学到高中的孩子们已经感到压力很大，学期最后几周的压力可能会让人沮丧，尤其是对年纪较大的学生来说，他们的期末项目和考试要求很高，对此家长应该关注孩子的心理健康，而不是成绩。同时提出了一些给孩子减轻压力的方法。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades.(“父母对孩子的担忧往往不是针对现在，而是针对未来——他们担心正在挣扎的孩子会陷入困境。但孩子们很少会停滞不前，部分原因是他们也希望自己的生活一帆风顺，”备考专家Ned Johnson说。当孩子表现出压力迹象时，父母应该关注心理健康，而不是成绩或分数)”可知，父母担心孩子陷入学习困境是没有必要的。故选D。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”.(家庭可以通过建立日常和每周的惯例，尤其是那些强调联系的惯例，如家庭晚餐时间和睡前聊天，来为孩子创造一种安全感。父母应该以同情和倾听的态度对待孩子，而不是试图解决他们的问题。例如，我们可以让家人谈论一天的起起落落。正如心理学家Madeline Levine所说：让你的孩子“借用你的冷静”)”可推知，作者提到了Madeline Levine是为了让父母在孩子面前保持冷静。故选A。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends.”可知，尊重你孩子的愿望，计划创造一个适合你家庭需要的休息时间。来自俄亥俄州托莱多的母亲麦肯纳·赖茨计划让9岁的卡尔森和6岁的马多克斯与家人和朋友一起享受假期，她的假期计划显然反映了尊重孩子的需要这一点。故that指的是“尊重孩子的需要”。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades.(当孩子表现出压力迹象时，父母应该关注心理健康，而不是成绩或分数)”结合文章主要说明了从小学到高中的孩子们已经感到压力很大，学期最后几周的压力可能会让人沮丧，尤其是对年纪较大的学生来说，他们的期末项目和考试要求很高，对此家长应该关注孩子的心理健康，而不是成绩。同时提出了一些给孩子减轻压力的方法。可推知，作者想表明父母应该让孩子从学校的压力中休息一下。故选D。 Recently researchers are discovering that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body. To some extent, the discovery should come as no surprise. Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic (算术) by counting on our fingers before learning to count in our head. Conventional thinking had it that as we grew, we became more able to think abstractly (抽象地), which might suggest teachers should help wean children off body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands become more active. This theory is called embodied cognition (体验认知), and it suggests that what goes on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that encouraging children to think and learn in a completely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember. Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time making gestures when the message they convey is particularly important. Kelly has also found evidence that students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand movements to emphasize points. Meanwhile, Susan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessons involving words and gestures live longer in a student’s memory than lessons using words alone. 24. What does the underlined phrase “wean children off body gestures” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Let children be aware of body gestures. B. Make children stop using body gestures. C. Give children an account of body gestures. D. Encourage children to use body gestures. 25. According to embodied cognition, which of the following statements can be inferred? A. Our minds can help shape reality. B. It’s not easy to understand abstract concepts. C. The environment around is important for one’s cognition. D. Interacting with the world improves one’s memory. 26. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study? A. Body movements can raise a teacher’s popularity. B. Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures. C. Using body gestures makes students love learning. D. Body language is more powerful than spoken language. 27. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Words are more important than actions in a classroom. B. We just need to involve the body in learning when we are young. C. Teachers had better combine words and gestures to achieve better teaching effect. D. Example of processing verbs is mentioned to prove that we can think abstractly. 28. What is the text mainly about? A. A study on classroom teaching. B. The dark side of thinking abstractly. C. The function of body language. D. A new finding about learning. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 28. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究人员发现如果涉及身体，学习会更容易、更快且更持久。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句“Conventional thinking had it that as we grew, we became more able to think abstractly (抽象地), which might suggest teachers should help wean children off body gestures to prepare them for the adult world.(传统观点认为，随着我们的成长，我们变得更有能力进行抽象思维，这可能意味着教师应该帮助wean children off body gestures，为他们进入成人世界做好准备。)”说明，按传统思维理解，抽象思维是人类发展的归属，受这一思想影响，老师们会尽量培养他们的抽象思维能力，帮助孩子们为进入成人世界做好准备，即“帮助孩子们摆脱对肢体动作的依赖”。由此推知，划线部分“wean children off body gestures”是指“让孩子停止使用肢体语言”，故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This theory is called embodied cognition (体验认知), and it suggests that what goes on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us.(这一理论被称为体验认知，它表明我们头脑中发生的事情来自于我们的行为以及与周围世界的互动。)”可知，我们的认知和我们与周围世界的互动有关，由此推知，周围的环境对一个人的认知很重要，故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Kelly has also found evidence that students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand movements to emphasize points.(Kelly还发现，有证据表明，当老师用手臂和手的动作来强调要点时，学生会更喜欢老师)”可知，肢体动作可以提高老师的受欢迎程度，故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessons involving words and gestures live longer in a student’s memory than lessons using words alone.(如果孩子们被教导模仿和重复老师使用的手势，他们会更有效地学习新概念，而且涉及单词和手势的课程在学生的记忆中比单独使用单词的课程活得更长)”可知C项“Teachers had better combine words and gestures to achieve better teaching effect(教师最好把语言和手势结合起来，以达到更好的教学效果)”表达正确，而A项“Words are more important than actions in a classroom(在课堂上，言语比行动更重要)表达不正确”；根据第一段最后一句“Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic (算术) by counting on our fingers before learning to count in our head(想想看，我们中的许多人可能在学会在脑子里数数之前，就已经开始通过手指数数来理解基本算术了。)”可知B项“We just need to involve the body in learning when we are young(当我们小的时候，我们只需要让身体参与学习)”表达错误；根据最后一段第一句“Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom(科学开始支持这样一种观点，即在课堂上，行动可能比言语更响亮)”以及“people spend three times as much time making gestures when the message they convey is particularly important(当人们传达的信息特别重要时，他们做手势的时间多了三倍)”可知此处说的是肢体动作对听众接受重要信息的重要性，可知D项“Example of processing verbs is mentioned to prove that we can think abstractly.(处理动词的例子被提到用于证明我们能抽象地思考)”表达错误，故选C项。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently researchers are discovering that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.(最近，研究人员发现，如果涉及身体，学习会更容易、更快、更持久。)”、第二段“when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands become more active(当我们处理诸如舔、踢和捡拾等动词时，医学扫描仪显示，我们大脑中控制面部、腿部和手部肌肉的部分变得更加活跃)”以及最后一段第一句“Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom(科学开始支持这样一种观点，即在课堂上，行动可能比言语更响亮)”可知，本文主要讲的是一项关于学习的新发现，故选D项。 Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children. On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.” Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.” Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.” Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!” Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.” 29. Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid? A. Because Knightley disliked it. B. Because the little mermaid was tricky. C. Because the film showed wrong values. D. Because the songs in the film were annoying. 30. What can we infer about Bell from Paragraph 4? A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well. B. Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids. C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White. D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film. 31. What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have? A. Curious and hard-working. B. Smart and generous. C. Independent and good-mannered. D. Critical and proud. 32. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Say No to Disney Princesses B. Rescue Yourselves C. Doing Something Right D. Practice Critical Thinking 【答案】29. C 30. D 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell禁止孩子们看迪士尼公主的电影，并进行评判，认为迪士尼公主不应该作为孩子们的典范。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二段“Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid….but I’m keeping to it.” Knightley禁止孩子看小美人鱼不是因为不喜欢这部电影，而是对电影传达的价值观“为了一个男人而放弃自己的声音”不赞同，故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”可知Bell对于白雪公主是持批判态度的，并且孩子对她问题的回答可确定Bell认为孩子对这部电影应该是持批判态度的，故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通过Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell对迪士尼电影Cinderella，The Little Mermaid， Snow White fairy tale进行评论，认为女孩应该独立，不能因为男人放弃自己的宝贵品质，故选C。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。文章大意是Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell禁止孩子们看迪士尼公主的电影，并进行评判，认为迪士尼公主不应该作为孩子们的典范。标题一般与文章主旨紧密联系，而且文章中反复强调对迪士尼公主的批判，故A适合做标题。 【点睛】标题归纳题属于主旨大意题的一种。标题一般与文章主旨相关，用来点明主题，因此要确定文章的标题，第一，阅读全文，总结文章主旨大意；第二，看选项是否与主题相关，而不能是文章中的某个细节，标题不能范围过大或者过小，并且还要有吸引力。例如文章中的小题4，A选项与文章主题相关，而且标题新颖，能够吸引读者，而BCD都是文章中的某个细节的评论，需排除。 Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary. 33. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in ________. A national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England 34. The author thinks that a good campsite is one ________. A with easy access B. used previously C. with modern conveniences D. far away from beaches 35. The last paragraph mainly deals with ________. A. protecting animals B. building a campfire C. camping in woodland D. finding a campsite with privacy 36. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the protection of campsites B. the importance of wild camping C. the human influence on campsites D. the dos and don’ts of wild camping 【答案】33. A 34. B 35. C 36. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了野外宿营是体验大自然而且对环境影响很小的一种方式，文章告诉我们在野外宿营的时候可以做的一些事情和注意事项以及不能做的事情。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.可知，但是在英格兰，除了国家公园之外，你必须得到土地所有者的许可，故选A。 34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.（尽量使用一个以前人们曾经宿过营的地方而不是选择一个新的地点）可知，最好的露营地点是以前使用过的。故选B。 【35题详解】 段落大意题。最后一段段首句When camping in woodland（当我们在林地露营的时候），后面以avoid为主线引出的几点来告诉我们在露营林地的时候要注意那些事项，故选C。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述在野外宿营的时候我们可以做的事情和不能做的事情。该题容易误选A，文章讲要做到对野营地的保护是我们应该做到的事情，是属于在野外宿营地时候可以做的事情之一，故选D。 Ferries (渡船) have clear advantages over cruises: you don’t keep bumping into the same people, and they are more environmentally sustainable. Plus, a passage on a Greek ferry costs just a tiny part of the price of a cruise voyage. Some trips are economical: Piraeus to Rhodes takes 15 hours, but costs only £58 one-way. It pays to familiarize yourself with Greece using a good map and then start planning with a ferry booking site such as greekferries.gr, ferryhopper.com or UK-based directferries.com. You will see all the main tour operators (公司) and be offered fast boats which compete with traditional, slow-paced ferries; the former are sometimes sealed like aeroplanes, while the latter allow deck walks and views. If you want to hop around, please have a look at the followings. Top Tips Going deck (economy) — which is even available on overnight trips — is a surefire way to save money. When to go The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are ideal for a holiday in southern Europe. It isn’t the peak time for holidays; it has fewer tourists and lower accommodation prices.

(随着天气变暖，海龟开始迁徙，尤其是雌性海龟，它们可能正在寻找筑巢的地方。)”可知，本空要说跟“筑巢的地方”有关的话题，由后文“In some areas, turtle habitats are entirely surrounded by roads, meaning that these creatures are at an even higher risk of vehicle collision (碰撞). The creatures need all the help they can get when crossing a road. (在一些地区，海龟的栖息地完全被道路包围，这意味着这些生物被车辆碰撞的风险更高。这些动物在过马路时需要尽可能多的帮助。)”可知，筑巢的地方可能在路的另一边，故F选项“Unfortunately, that place may very well be on the other side of a road (不幸的是，那个地方很可能就在路的另一边)”衔接上文提到的乌龟（尤其是雌性）在寻找筑巢地点的行为，并引出它们穿越道路所面临的危险，能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 【41题详解】 由小标题“Pick up small turtles (捡起小海龟)”可知，本空要说跟“捡起小海龟”有关的话题，由下文“You can gently hold their shell with both hands between their front and back legs and carry them across the road. Please don’t pick up them by their tails. (你可以用双手轻轻地握住它们的外壳，放在它们的前腿和后腿之间，带着它们过马路。请不要抓住它们的尾巴。)”可知，本空要说跟“捡起小海龟的方法”有关的话题，故D选项“Smaller turtles can be picked up with both hands (较小的乌龟可以用双手捡起来)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【42题详解】 由上文“Large turtles should be touched as little as possible. They can be gently encouraged into a cat or dog carrier. (大型海龟应该尽可能少被触摸。他们可以轻轻鼓励到猫或狗的宠物箱。)”可知，本空要说跟“少碰触大海龟”有关的话题，故G选项“They can also be encouraged onto a flat surface that can be moved a short distance (它们也可以被鼓励到一个可以移动很短距离的平面上)”继续讨论如何处理大型乌龟，前面提到可以使用宠物箱，这个选项提出另一种方法，即鼓励它们爬到可以移动的平坦表面上，这与处理大型乌龟的建议相符，能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 【43题详解】 由上文“Never assume that a turtle who has been hit by a car is dead. As PETA explains, turtles can suffer for weeks before dying. (永远不要以为被车撞了的乌龟已经死了。善待动物组织解释说，海龟在死亡前可以忍受数周的痛苦。)”可知，不要认为受伤的乌龟就一定死了，故E选项“Even if the shell is broken, the turtle may still need your help (即使龟壳破了，它也可能需要你的帮助)”强调了即便外表受损，乌龟也可能还活着并需要救助，符合段落主题，能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 【44题详解】 由下文“So you’ve got an injured animal? Head to the website Animal Help Now and type in your location and type of wildlife emergency, and they will direct you to the nearest wildlife rehabilitator (康复员).

In a survey across 14 countries in Europe, meanwhile, 1 in 7 said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts. Why can’t more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them? People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well. However, our research with Francis J. Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences. We asked people to imagine themselves as a “giver,” who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it.” Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it. Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was “National Regifting Day”. It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn’t know that: 30% of them agreed to regift. Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for. 45. Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour? A. To highlight the importance of regifting. B. To show people’s attitudes to regifting. C. To challenge the rightness of regifting. D. To express his concern for regifting. 46. What is the meaning of the underlined word “unwarranted”? A. Unnecessary. B. Uncertain. C. Unimportant. D. Unconscious. 47. What do we know about the research? A. 9% simply kept unwanted gifts. B. 30% didn’t know National Regifting Day. C. Givers generally didn’t mind regifting. D. Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts. 48. What can we conclude from the text? A. Regifting is offensive. B. Regifting is forbidden. C. Regifting is popular. D. Regifting is acceptable. 【答案】45. B 46. A 47. C 48. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对转送礼物的看法和态度以及对此进行的调查研究。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting.可知，在《消费者行为杂志》上发表的一项研究中，人们用罪恶，懒惰，沉思和无礼的词语来形容他们对转送礼物的感觉。从而推断出，作者在《消费者行为杂志》中提到该研究是想表明人们对转送礼物的态度。故选B。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段的Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.可知，大多数人认为把得到的礼物转送出是一个禁忌，也就是不应该送出去。而第三段就使用了however这个词进行了转折，然而没那么多人觉得这是禁忌，表示这种情况是被高估了的。再根据第三段Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.可知，事实上，我们的研究一直告诉我们，人们高估了与转送礼物相关的耻辱的负面后果。可以猜测出上一句意思是：但是，与转送礼物相关的耻辱在很大程度上是没有必要的。因为我们高估了它。所以可以猜出unwarranted的意思是“不必要的”。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it. “可知，原始送礼者的总体态度是：“这是您的礼物，随您便吧。”由此可知，一般来说，送礼者都不介意收到礼物的人转送礼物。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.可知，在这个假期里，如果你给他们的礼物与他们所希望的不符，你可以考虑转送一些礼物，并鼓励接受礼物的人也照做。由此可知，这是在鼓励人们转送礼物，即转送礼物是可以接受的。故选D。 【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。例如第2小题词义猜测题。考生可以根据该画线词所在的上下文语境来猜测词义。虽然划线词在第三段，但我们要先看第二段。根据第二段的Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.可知，大多数人认为把得到的礼物转送出是一个禁忌，也就是不应该送出去。而第三段就使用了however这个词进行了转折，然而没那么多人觉得这是禁忌，表示这种情况是被高估了的。所以根据第三段的Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.可知，事实上，我们的研究一直告诉我们，人们高估了与转送礼物相关的耻辱的负面后果。也就是说呼应了第二段所说的“禁忌”并没有人们想象的那么大。从而猜测出上一句意思是：但是，与转礼物相关的耻辱在很大程度上是没有必要的。因为我们高估了它。所以可以猜出unwarranted的意思是“不必要的”。故选A。 Arthur Dubois isn't your typical grandfather. That's because at 72 years old, the Chicago resident is a newly discovered hip-hop artist. This week, Dubois walked into Haven Studios, a music program on the South Side of Chicago that supports young ambitious artists. The owner of Haven Studios, Andre "Add-2" Daniels, said Dubois claimed he was "young at heart." So, Daniels decided to listen to Dubois' music. He was completely floored. Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter. His tweet went viral, receiving thousands of reactions within a matter of days. Now, Dubois' talents have even caught the attention of some famous hip-hop producers. "It's not what you would expect, right?" Daniels says in one of the videos. Dubois music is playing in the background, giving a steady beat that easily invites listeners to dance. Dubois said his style was entirely self-taught. He first started teaching himself to produce hip-hop beats about six years ago, after he retired. "I found something to do," he told NPR's Scott Simon. "I had to learn how to do the computer and music at the same time." Dubois taught himself by using the audio editing software. Now he's learning another new skill-social media. Dubois' newfound social media fame has been a little overwhelming for him. "I was shocked," he said. "I broke down and cried because I didn't know that many people liked me." Daniels has helped Dubois set up accounts on Twitter and Instagram for his fans to follow, "I'd never used Instargram, Twitter and all that other stuff," Dubois said. "Because I didn't believe in that stuff myself. But now I've got lo have it." The attention doesn't seem to have gone to Dubois' head though-he doesn't really care about getting famous or making money. "I just want to put it out there and let other people hear my music." 49. What does the underlined word "floored" in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Astonished. B. Scared. C. Nervous. D. Hurt. 50. Who helped Dubois take up hip-hop? A. Daniels. B. He himself. C. NPR's Scott Simon. D. Hip-hop producers. 51. What can we infer from the text? A. Daniels set up accounts for Dubois. B. Daniels didn't enjoy Dubois' music at first. C. Dubois seeks for personal fame and wealth. D. Dubois didn't expect his popularity on the Internet. 52. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Well begun in half done. B. It's never too late to learn. C. Lost time in never found again. D. One good turn deserves another. 【答案】49. A 50. B 51. D 52. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了72岁的爷爷Dubois自学嘻哈音乐，并在网上拥有大量的粉丝的故事。 【49题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter.”可知，听完Dubois的演唱后，Daniels很快拍下了展示Dubois才能的视频，并将其发布到推特上，由此可见他被Dubois的演唱惊到了，由此可知画线词词义为“吃惊的、惊愕的”，故A项正确。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Dubois said his style was entirely self-taught.”可知，Dubois说他的风格完全是自学的。也就是说他是自学嘻哈音乐的，故B项正确。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I broke down and cried because I didn't know that many people liked me.”可知，Dubois说他哭了，因为他不知道会有那么多人喜欢他，由此可知，Dubois 没想到自己在网上如此受欢迎，故D项正确。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了72岁的爷爷Dubois自学嘻哈音乐，并在网上拥有大量的粉丝，他的故事告诉我们什么时候学习都不晚，故B项正确。 【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第1题，抓住画线词后Daniels听完Dubois的演唱后的表现是解题关键，根据画线词后的“Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter.”可知，听完Dubois的演唱后，Daniels很快拍下了展示Dubois才能的视频，并将其发布到推特上，这说明他被Dubois的演唱惊到了，由此可知画线词词义为“吃惊的、惊愕的”。 三、书信写作 53. 假如你是李华，一名高三学生。英语作文读后续写这一项让你备受困扰。你计划向福建师范大学黄教授（此领域的专家）写一封求助信。希望他帮你在情节构思、语言组织和表达等方面给予指导。 内容包括：1.介绍困扰；2.希望得到帮助。 注意：1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：读后续写continuation writing Dear Professor Huang, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Professor Huang, I am Li Hua, a senior three student.

The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by students from a small school of only about fifty people. The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans, the teachers decided to teach students to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land and learn to help each other when doing the rice farming outside the classroom. What’s better, the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money, the school could help students who wished to travel abroad some day. Today the dream is coming true — the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences, and have fun over there! “We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world,” said one of the teachers. 1. Who got the idea of growing healthy rice? A. The headmaster. B. The students. C. The teachers. D. The farmers. 2. What does the underlined words “the dream” in the last paragraph mean? A. The teachers’ plan to grow healthy rice. B. The school’s aim to make more money. C. The farmers’ hope to build more schools. D. The students’ wish to visit foreign countries. 3. What is the text mainly about? A. A successful school project. B. A farming class for farmers. C. A new way to make money. D. An exciting trip to Japan.

A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them. This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk. It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country. This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood. But how do the birds learn? It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds. 13. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2mean? A. Eye-catching. B. Care-free. C. Naughty. D. Attractive. 14 What can we know about the birds? A. They are raised by humans. B. They help cut open the tree trunk. C. They feed on honey as their annual diet. D. They can distinguish different whistles. 15. Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering? A. A complex dilemma. B. An unfair trade. C. A double-edged sword. D. A win-win cooperation. 16. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The familiar signal in the forest. B. A talented expert in hunting the bees. C. A wonderful guide to collecting honey. D. The human-animal communication in Tanzania. The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people. These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match. For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites. All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. ·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989. ·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927. ·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572.

Kids from elementary school through high school are already stressed after more than a year of C0VID-19 disrupted learning. Pressing through the last few weeks of a semester can be discouraging, especially for older students with demanding final projects and exams. “Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades. Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”. In addition, peer support programs can also play an important role in teaching skills for stress management and wellness. “Teens will talk to other teens, especially when they feel they are in a brave space built on trust,” Katie Hurley, a psychotherapist says. Some children may arrive at the finish line exhausted and needing sleep. Or perhaps they are eager to celebrate the holidays with all the usual fanfare. Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends. Her holiday plan apparently reflects that. “It is the most important thing they need right now,” she says. “Our children need to know that they are not alone.” 20. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Children are struggling in study in the present situation. B. Children’s focusing on grades makes them stay stuck in learning. C. Parents stay stuck in making their children live to work out. D. Parents’ fear about children getting stuck in study is unnecessary. 21. Why does the author mention Madeline Levine? A. To ask parents to stay calm before their kids. B. To show the necessity of talking to kids before tests. C. To make parents let go of their kids during COVID-19. D. To stress the importance of the help from the experts. 22. What does “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Staying with kids in holidays. B. Respecting the needs of kids. C. Helping kids celebrate holidays. D. Keeping exhausted kids happy. 23. What does the author want to show? A. Parents should help kids to prepare their tests. B. Parents should keep a closer eyes on kids study. C. Parents should connect their kids more with nature. D. Parents should let kids take a break from school stress. Recently researchers are discovering that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body. To some extent, the discovery should come as no surprise. Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic (算术) by counting on our fingers before learning to count in our head. Conventional thinking had it that as we grew, we became more able to think abstractly (抽象地), which might suggest teachers should help wean children off body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands become more active. This theory is called embodied cognition (体验认知), and it suggests that what goes on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that encouraging children to think and learn in a completely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember. Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time making gestures when the message they convey is particularly important. Kelly has also found evidence that students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand movements to emphasize points. Meanwhile, Susan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessons involving words and gestures live longer in a student’s memory than lessons using words alone. 24.

Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children. On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.” Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.” Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.” Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!” Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.” 29. Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid? A. Because Knightley disliked it. B. Because the little mermaid was tricky. C. Because the film showed wrong values. D. Because the songs in the film were annoying. 30. What can we infer about Bell from Paragraph 4? A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well. B Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids. C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White. D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film. 31. What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have? A. Curious and hard-working. B. Smart and generous. C. Independent and good-mannered. D. Critical and proud. 32. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Say No to Disney Princesses B. Rescue Yourselves C. Doing Something Right D. Practice Critical Thinking Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary. 33. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in ________. A. national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England 34. The author thinks that a good campsite is one ________.

A. the protection of campsites B. the importance of wild camping C. the human influence on campsites D. the dos and don’ts of wild camping Ferries (渡船) have clear advantages over cruises: you don’t keep bumping into the same people, and they are more environmentally sustainable. Plus, a passage on a Greek ferry costs just a tiny part of the price of a cruise voyage. Some trips are economical: Piraeus to Rhodes takes 15 hours, but costs only £58 one-way. It pays to familiarize yourself with Greece using a good map and then start planning with a ferry booking site such as greekferries.gr, ferryhopper.com or UK-based directferries.com. You will see all the main tour operators (公司) and be offered fast boats which compete with traditional, slow-paced ferries; the former are sometimes sealed like aeroplanes, while the latter allow deck walks and views. If you want to hop around, please have a look at the followings. Top Tips Going deck (economy) — which is even available on overnight trips — is a surefire way to save money.

As the weather warms up, turtles (乌龟) are on the move, especially females, who may be looking for a place to nest. ____40____. In some areas, turtle habitats are entirely surrounded by roads, meaning that these creatures are at an even higher risk of vehicle collision (碰撞). The creatures need all the help they can get when crossing a road. Volunteers at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recommend the following. Pick up small turtles ____41____. You can gently hold their shell with both hands between their front and back legs and carry them across the road. Please don’t pick up them by their tails. Take extra care with large turtles Large turtles should be touched as little as possible. They can be gently encouraged into a cat or dog carrier. ____42____. Don’t assume a turtle is dead Never assume that a turtle who has been hit by a car is dead. As PETA explains, turtles can suffer for weeks before dying. ____43____. Test for a reaction by pinching (捏) a back to e or gently touching the corner of an eyelid. Injured turtles should be transported to a vet clinic right away. ____44____ So you’ve got an injured animal? Head to the website Animal Help Now and type in your location and type of wildlife emergency, and they will direct you to the nearest wildlife rehabilitator (康复员). A. Find the nearest wildlife help B. Pull over safely to a safe location C. But turtles may not survive humankind D. Smaller turtles can be picked up with both hands E. Even if the shell is broken, the turtle may still need your help F. Unfortunately, that place may very well be on the other side of a road G. They can also be encouraged onto a flat surface that can be moved a short distance Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe, meanwhile, 1 in 7 said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts. Why can’t more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them? People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well. However, our research with Francis J. Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences. We asked people to imagine themselves as a “giver,” who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it.” Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it. Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was “National Regifting Day”. It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn’t know that: 30% of them agreed to regift. Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for. 45. Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour? A. To highlight the importance of regifting. B To show people’s attitudes to regifting. C. To challenge the rightness of regifting. D. To express his concern for regifting. 46. What is the meaning of the underlined word “unwarranted”? A. Unnecessary. B. Uncertain. C. Unimportant. D. Unconscious. 47. What do we know about the research? A. 9% simply kept unwanted gifts. B. 30% didn’t know National Regifting Day. C. Givers generally didn’t mind regifting. D. Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts. 48. What can we conclude from the text? A. Regifting is offensive. B. Regifting is forbidden. C. Regifting is popular. D. Regifting is acceptable. Arthur Dubois isn't your typical grandfather. That's because at 72 years old, the Chicago resident is a newly discovered hip-hop artist. This week, Dubois walked into Haven Studios, a music program on the South Side of Chicago that supports young ambitious artists. The owner of Haven Studios, Andre "Add-2" Daniels, said Dubois claimed he was "young at heart." So, Daniels decided to listen to Dubois' music. He was completely floored. Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter. His tweet went viral, receiving thousands of reactions within a matter of days. Now, Dubois' talents have even caught the attention of some famous hip-hop producers. "It's not what you would expect, right?" Daniels says in one of the videos. Dubois music is playing in the background, giving a steady beat that easily invites listeners to dance. Dubois said his style was entirely self-taught. He first started teaching himself to produce hip-hop beats about six years ago, after he retired. "I found something to do," he told NPR's Scott Simon. "I had to learn how to do the computer and music at the same time." Dubois taught himself by using the audio editing software. Now he's learning another new skill-social media. Dubois' newfound social media fame has been a little overwhelming for him. "I was shocked," he said. "I broke down and cried because I didn't know that many people liked me." Daniels has helped Dubois set up accounts on Twitter and Instagram for his fans to follow, "I'd never used Instargram, Twitter and all that other stuff," Dubois said. "Because I didn't believe in that stuff myself. But now I've got lo have it." The attention doesn't seem to have gone to Dubois' head though-he doesn't really care about getting famous or making money. "I just want to put it out there and let other people hear my music." 49. What does the underlined word "floored" in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Astonished. B. Scared. C. Nervous. D. Hurt. 50. Who helped Dubois take up hip-hop? A. Daniels. B. He himself. C. NPR's Scott Simon. D. Hip-hop producers. 51. What can we infer from the text? A. Daniels set up accounts for Dubois. B. Daniels didn't enjoy Dubois' music at first. C. Dubois seeks for personal fame and wealth. D. Dubois didn't expect his popularity on the Internet. 52. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Well begun in half done. B. It's never too late to learn. C. Lost time in never found again. D. One good turn deserves another. 三、书信写作 53. 假如你是李华，一名高三学生。英语作文读后续写这一项让你备受困扰。你计划向福建师范大学黄教授（此领域的专家）写一封求助信。希望他帮你在情节构思、语言组织和表达等方面给予指导。 内容包括：1.介绍困扰；2.希望得到帮助。 注意：1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：读后续写continuation writing Dear Professor Huang, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 听力 BABCC ABABB ABACB CAACBCBACB ACCAC BACBA CABAC BCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
