Seeing his own children spending most of their time in front of a computer or television, David Bond, a filmmaker, decided it was time to help his children get back to nature. So he started an activity in the UK, calling for children to stay away from TV and computers and play outside instead. The Wild Network, a group of about 400 organizations, takes part in the activity. They believe changing 30 minutes of computer or TV time into outdoor time would help make children healthier, smarter and happier. So now the Wild Network is trying different ways to keep young people away from television and computers and make them go back to fields and parks. There are many suggestions about how to spend more time in nature, such as hiking and enjoying autumn colors. The Network is now trying to advise the government to do more to get children active outdoors. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题：每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Most Popular National Parks in the U.S. Famously called“America’s best idea”by the novelist and historian Wallace Stegner, the U.S.National Park System offers families a wonderfully affordable way to visit America’s most popular and beautiful landscapes. Hot Springs National Park This national park is unique because it’s more of an urban park than a distant wilderness. Located right next to the city of Hot Springs, this is also the country’s smallest national park, covering 5,550 acres. The main attractions here are the historic bathhouses and hot springs that the park was established to protect. Acadia National Park This park on the Maine Coast is home to various plants and animals and the tallest mountain on the Atlantic Coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike rock peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the coastal scenery. Shenandoah National Park Occupied by settlers for at least 100 years, it covers 200,000 acres of Virginia wilderness. The 105-mile Skyline Drive traces the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers many jumping-off points to see the beauty of this park. Beyond the scenic drive, you can explore the park’s many offerings through hiking, biking, and horseback riding, Indiana Dunes National Park Stretching along 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and covering more than 15,000 acres, this Midwestern park is ideal for relaxing on a beach, hiking the 50 miles of trails,and exploring the diverse ecosystem. The sands are the main attraction with rare plants, and various birds. The national park is free to visit. 21. What is typical of Hot Springs National Park? A. It seems like a city park. B.

Hot Springs National Park. C. Shenandoah National Park. D. Indiana Dunes National Park. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个在美国最受欢迎且适合家庭出行的国家公园。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据Hot Springs National Park 部分的“This national park is unique because it’s more of an urban park than a distant wilderness.(这个国家公园是独一无二的，因为它更像是一个城市公园而不是一个遥远的荒野。)”可知Hot Springs National Park的特别之处在于它看起来更像一个城市公园。故选A项。 2.细节理解题。根据Shenandoah National Park 部分的“Beyond the scenic drive, you can explore the park’s many offerings through hiking, biking, and horseback riding.(在风景优美的驾车之外，您还可以通过徒步旅行、骑自行车和骑马来探索公园的许多活动。)” 可知在Shenandoah National Park 可以通过徒步旅行、骑自行车和骑马等方式探索公园。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据Indiana Dunes National Park 部分的“The national park is free to visit.(国家公园是免费参观的。) ”可知，游览Indiana Dunes National Park是免费的。故选D项。 B By my mid-20s, I’d finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher. It was mostly data and statistics work, which involved staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy. I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing. I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people. Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now. I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier — I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back. 24. What did the author think of her job in Dublin? A. Stressful. B. Valueless. C. Insecure. D. Boring. 25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A. She enjoyed her voluntary work. B. She realized what she really loved. C. Recalling the past made her happy. D. A bright future was in store for her. 26. What drove the author to launch her business Nature Therapy Ireland? A. Her adventurous experience. B. Her leadership and background. C. Her connection with other people. D. Her major and passion for nature. 27. What does the author think of her life now? A. Demanding. B. Inconvenient. C. Satisfactory. D. Regrettable. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者辞去政府工作，选择做自己喜欢做的事情。将自己的心理学专业和对户外的热情结合创办了Nature Therapy Ireland。虽然薪水减半，但是她感觉很放松。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy.(我有很好的养老金和年假，但它引起了很多焦虑和担忧。我真的很不开心)”可知，作者虽然工作待遇不错，但是感到焦虑和担心，觉得不开心。由此推知，作者觉得Dublin的工作压力很大。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线句前“I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it.(我决定在当地的一个青年团体做志愿者，不到一个月，我就和他们一起去露营了。我非常喜欢它)”可知，作者在做志愿者的过程中发现户外活动才是自己所爱。根据指代关系和划线句“It was like switching on a lightbulb.(就像打开了一盏灯。)”可推知，句中“It”指代的就是上文发现自己喜欢户外活动这件事情。它就像打开了一盏灯，让作者发现了自己真正喜欢的是什么。由此推知，划线句子的意思是“他意识到自己真正喜欢的是什么”。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology.(这是我的心理学背景和我对户外活动的热情的完美结合。我开始学习野生疗法、森林浴和生态心理学的课程。)”可知，她的专业和对自然的热爱促使她创办了Nature Therapy Ireland。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back.(我现在的生活是带领自然连接徒步旅行和森林沐浴散步。我的工资暂时减半了，但我已经调整好了。我从未回头。)”可推知，作者对现在的新生活很满意，从未回头和后悔。故选C项。 C The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes. They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised. A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts. The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast. A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs. Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world. 28. Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning? A. To introduce agritourism. B. To describe the use of eggs. C To show the innocence of the children. D To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults. 29. What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities? A. Engaging in planting vegetables in person. B. Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work. C. Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm. D. Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice. 30. What can you learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization. B. The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism. C. Italian government’s calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities. D. Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward agritourism? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Supportive. D. Sympathetic. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要介绍了农业旅游为城市的人们提供了独特的乡村体验，让人们可以从其中体验到从农场到餐桌背后的世界。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。通读第一段可知，该段主要描述了孩子和大人们在农场收集鸡蛋和喂鸡的情景；接着第二段首句“The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food.(收获鸡蛋是一种简短、精心设计的农业旅游体验，提供了一种劳动体验，而不仅仅是一口食物。)”提出本文主题：农业旅游。由此可推测出，第一段描述大人和孩子捡鸡蛋是为了引出本文农业旅游的主题。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves.(在农场之旅中掏几个鸡蛋和拔一些蔬菜并不构成一整天的工作，但这也是一个有用的提醒：食物不仅仅是神奇地出现在餐馆的盘子和杂货店的货架上。)”可推知，孩子们可以做一些简单而有意义的农活。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops.(在以城市为中心的新世界里，有进取心的农民找到了很多机会，可以将他们的农村生活方式和作物一起出售。)”可知，有远见的农民在出售农作物时也在推销他们的生活方式。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.(对于不同的时间、精力和金钱投资，任何人都可以参与我们的农业系统，让消费者一窥从农场到餐桌的世界。)”并结合全文内容可知，作者认为，农业旅游能够让消费者了解从农场到餐桌背后的世界。由此可以推知，作者对农业旅游持支持态度。故选C。 D We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from? A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus. In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of6 months , while their final visit was when they were18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations , the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months. Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer , through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects , waving and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus. “Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again. ” 32. Why does the author mention the example of wheels? A. To praise the invention of car wheels. B. To describe the process of trial and error. C. To emphasize the necessity of new tools. D. To show the importance of prior knowledge. 33. What can we learn about Paulus’ research? A. Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers. B. Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation. C. Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction. D. Effective interaction promoted children’s development. 34. What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4? A. Core. B. Result. C. Aim. D. Content. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why does Evolution Matter? B. How to Interact with Children? C. Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D. Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了模仿对于人际互动，学习和人类文明演进的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from?(我们通过几千年积累的知识来了解世界。站在伟人的肩膀上，我们不必经历无尽的尝试和错误，就像汽车的轮子不必每次都重新发明一样。但是我们向别人学习的能力从何而来呢？)”和第二段“It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings(人们通常认为孩子的模仿能力是天生的，但根据我们的观察，孩子模仿是因为他们自己被照顾者模仿。这种相互作用使知识的文化转移成为可能，通过几代人的努力，知识的文化转移最终导致了人类的发展)”可推知，作者提到轮子的例子是为了强调先前知识的重要性。正是站在巨人的肩膀上，我们不必再重新进行研究和试验。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months.(这项长期研究表明，母亲在与6个月大的孩子互动时越敏感，她模仿孩子的次数越多，孩子在18个月大时的整体能力就越强)”可知，Paulus的研究表明，妈妈越频繁地模仿孩子，孩子的发育水平越好。因此可知，有效的互动促进了孩子们的发展。故选D。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human”可知，这种相互作用最终导致了人类进化的成功，说明是学习的核心，故划线词意思是“核心”。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again.”(“文化学习是人类进化的重要组成部分，它植根于对他人的模仿，尤其是我们童年早期的照顾者，”保卢斯说。“通过这种方式，我们相互学习，并将知识传授给下一代，因此某些动作或技术不必不断地重新发明。”)”结合文章主要讲述了模仿在人类进化中的重要性，强调了模仿对于人类进化的推动作用。因此，最佳标题应该是“模仿：进化的引擎”。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to have an attractive personality Demonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships. These traits (特性) give you the ability to inspire and fascinate others, making others more drawn to you as a result. Listen to others. ___36___ Instead of responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal, pay attention to what the other person is saying. Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions. Speak sincerely. No one likes to be cheated. ___37___ If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them at the last minute that you can’t make it.

Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality. Know “how” vs “what”. How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment, but he or she thinks you say it with a sarcastic undertone, your compliment won’t mean a thing. ___39___ If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there’s a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across. Show enthusiasm for everything.

I keep all my unwanted gifts piled neatly in a corner of my closet.

Basically 62. a 63. involving 64. audiences 65. what 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了属马的人的一些基本特质——热情、开朗、幽默、容易相处。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：马年出生的人非常活泼、活跃、精力充沛。作表语，应用形容词energetic。故填energetic。 【57题详解】 考查动词的语态。句意：马喜欢待在群体中，它们通常出现在音乐会、剧院、会议、体育活动和派对等场合。they是动词see的逻辑宾语，当宾语提前作主语时，动词应用被动语态。因此，空处应用被动语态形式；情态动词后面应接be动词原形。故填be seen。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：有幽默感的马是健谈的大师，和它们相处很舒服，因为它们有一种能让人立刻放松下来的能力。本句考查with构成的介词短语作原因状语，且空处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：有幽默感的马是健谈的大师，和它们相处很舒服，因为它们有一种能让人立刻放松下来的能力。短语be comfortable to do sth.表示“做某事很舒服”。故填to get。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：有时候，马有点以自我为中心，但这并不意味着除了自己的问题之外，他不会对任何问题感兴趣。根据空后it doesn't mean及句意可知，此处应用表示转折关系的并列连词。故填but。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：基本上，属马的人都很健康，很可能是因为他们对生活持积极的态度。修饰后文句子应用副词basically，且空处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Basically。 【62题详解】 考查冠词。句意：基本上，属马的人都很健康，很可能是因为他们对生活持积极的态度。attitude为可数名词，表泛指；空后的positive的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与人交流的工作最吸引属马的人。主语job与involve之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，因此，应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填involving。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：他们喜欢站在舞台中央，总是让各地的观众高兴。audience观众，为可数名词；根据语境可知，此处强调里面所有的成员，故用复数形式。故填audiences。 【65题详解】 考查连词。句意：你还没来得及说完话，他们就已经在你身边了。引导宾语从句，且在从句中作宾语，表示“所说的事情”，用连接代词what。故填what。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰笔友Leta发邮件说她打算来中国旅游，想让你为她推荐一个最值得参观的景点。请给她回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 简要介绍该景点； 2. 说明推荐的理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Leta, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Leta, Knowing you’re coming to China for a trip, I’d like to give you a warm welcome.

Wilson was filling his backpack when a voice came out of the loudspeaker. “Good afternoon, students. This is a reminder that the All-City Math Contest will be in two weeks. The contest is open to fifth and sixth graders, and the top prize is fifty dollars. Please speak to your teacher if you’d like to participate. “I am confident that I could excel in that contest,” Wilson thought to himself. Determined to participate in the competition, he rushed to his teacher’s desk and told her that he wanted to enter that math contest. Ms. Jones looked up from her papers and said, “That’s wonderful, Wilson, but I’m afraid that this contest is for fifth and sixth graders only. Besides, our class has not yet covered some of the topics that will be tested.” Wilson was not ready to give up. He knew he had a natural talent for math. “But you know that I’m good at math!” Wilson protested. “I do math problems with my brother all the time - and he’s in sixth grade! I think I could do really well!” “You are a very good math student, Wilson, but rules are rules. I’m sure that you can enter next year.” Wilson came home frustrated and disappointed, stormed upstairs without saying a word to his mother, and slammed the door to his room shut. His mother quickly appeared at his door, knocked, and came in. “Dear, did something happen today?” She was concerned. Wilson was quiet for a minute, then it all came out. In a burst of emotion, he told his mom about the contest, how excited he was to enter, and how angry he felt when his teacher told him that he wouldn’t be allowed to do so this year. “It’s just not fair, Mom,” he complained. “I know I could really do well on it. Why won’t they let me?” Wilson’s mother put her hand on his shoulder. “Sometimes, son,” she said softly, “people follow rules even when they don’t make sense. Perhaps you can persuade your teacher to make an exception for you.” Wilson perked up: he had an idea. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Wilson went straight to Ms. Jones’ office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forty minutes later, he finished Ms. Jones’ test and handed it to her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: The next day, Wilson went straight to Ms. Jones’ office. He surprised her by requesting to take a sixth-grade math test, which he had borrowed from his brother, hoping to compete in the upcoming contest. “If I take this test now and do a good job, can I be in the contest?” Wilson asked. Ms. Jones was impressed by his eagerness and agreed to his request, but reminded him that rules were rules. Wilson nodded, sat down at one of the empty desks, pulled out a pencil and started working on the test, carefully went through all the questions. Forty minutes later, he finished Ms. Jones’ test and handed it to her. She immediately pulled out her red pen and started to review his answers but was surprised to find no errors at all. “You’ve done remarkably well, Wilson. Even most sixth-graders couldn’t achieve a perfect score. I’ll present this to the principal and hope we can make an exception for you,” she said. “Thank you so much Ms. Jones!” Wilson was thrilled and hugged his teacher. “I’m delighted that you share my enthusiasm for math. In this case, I believe a little deviation from the rules is necessary,” Ms. Jones said with a chuckle Wilson couldn’t help but grin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了擅长数学的四年级学生想要参加一个针对五年级和六年级的学生全市数学竞赛，因不符合参赛规则被他的老师拒绝参加。他感到非常失望，但在妈妈的鼓励下，Wilson决定尝试说服他的老师为自己争取一个参赛的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，威尔逊直接去了琼斯女士的办公室”可知，第一段可描写威尔逊想要通过写六年级的试卷取得参加比赛的资格。 ②由第二段首句内容“四十分钟后，他完成了琼斯女士的试卷并把它交给了她”可知，第二段可描写威尔逊试卷没有错误，老师答应为他争取一个参赛名额。 2.续写线索：找老师——达成协议——完成试卷——批改试卷——试卷满分——答应提交校长——表达开心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①要求：request/demand ②拿出：pull out/take out ③提交：present /submit 情绪类 ①高兴：delighted/glad ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] He surprised her by requesting to take a sixth-grade math test, which he had borrowed from his brother, hoping to compete in the upcoming contest.

Today visitors come to Acadia to hike rock peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the coastal scenery. Shenandoah National Park Occupied by settlers for at least 100 years, it covers 200,000 acres of Virginia wilderness. The 105-mile Skyline Drive traces the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers many jumping-off points to see the beauty of this park. Beyond the scenic drive, you can explore the park’s many offerings through hiking, biking, and horseback riding, Indiana Dunes National Park Stretching along 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and covering more than 15,000 acres, this Midwestern park is ideal for relaxing on a beach, hiking the 50 miles of trails,and exploring the diverse ecosystem. The sands are the main attraction with rare plants, and various birds. The national park is free to visit. 21. What is typical of Hot Springs National Park? A. It seems like a city park. B.

Hot Springs National Park. C. Shenandoah National Park. D. Indiana Dunes National Park. B By my mid-20s, I’d finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher. It was mostly data and statistics work, which involved staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy. I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing. I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people. Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now. I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier — I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back. 24.

A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts. The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast. A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs. Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world. 28. Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning? A. To introduce agritourism. B. To describe the use of eggs. C. To show the innocence of the children. D. To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults. 29. What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities? A. Engaging in planting vegetables in person. B.

What can you learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization. B. The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism. C. Italian government’s calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities. D. Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward agritourism? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Supportive. D. Sympathetic. D We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. standing on the shoulders of great men, we don’t have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car. But where does our ability to learn from others come from? A study led by Markus Paulus, professor at Loyola Marymount University, shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability to imitate (模仿) is inborn, but according to our observation, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge, which, through generations’ efforts, consequently leads to the development of human beings,” says Markus Paulus. In this research, Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months. The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of6 months , while their final visit was when they were18 months old. As they engaged in various play situations , the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed. The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a mother was in her interactions with her six- month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s overall ability was at the age of18 months. Paulus’ research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer , through which children successfully learn various skills, such as how to use objects , waving and acquisition of language. “This interaction is the nucleus of learning and, finally, gives rise to evolutionary success of human,” says Paulus. “Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution, and it is rooted in the imitation of others, particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,” says Paulus. “Through this, we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation, so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again. ” 32. Why does the author mention the example of wheels? A. To praise the invention of car wheels. B. To describe the process of trial and error. C. To emphasize the necessity of new tools. D. To show the importance of prior knowledge. 33. What can we learn about Paulus’ research? A. Children’s imitation was recorded by mothers. B. Sensitive mothers encouraged children’s imitation. C. Children’s ability was analyzed through interaction. D. Effective interaction promoted children’s development. 34. What does the underlined word “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4? A. Core. B. Result. C. Aim. D. Content. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why does Evolution Matter? B. How to Interact with Children? C. Imitation: The Engine of Evolution D. Cultural Learning: The Root of Imitation 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to have an attractive personality Demonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships.

Wilson was filling his backpack when a voice came out of the loudspeaker. “Good afternoon, students. This is a reminder that the All-City Math Contest will be in two weeks. The contest is open to fifth and sixth graders, and the top prize is fifty dollars. Please speak to your teacher if you’d like to participate. “I am confident that I could excel in that contest,” Wilson thought to himself. Determined to participate in the competition, he rushed to his teacher’s desk and told her that he wanted to enter that math contest. Ms. Jones looked up from her papers and said, “That’s wonderful, Wilson, but I’m afraid that this contest is for fifth and sixth graders only. Besides, our class has not yet covered some of the topics that will be tested.” Wilson was not ready to give up. He knew he had a natural talent for math. “But you know that I’m good at math!” Wilson protested. “I do math problems with my brother all the time - and he’s in sixth grade! I think I could do really well!” “You are a very good math student, Wilson, but rules are rules. I’m sure that you can enter next year.” Wilson came home frustrated and disappointed, stormed upstairs without saying a word to his mother, and slammed the door to his room shut. His mother quickly appeared at his door, knocked, and came in. “Dear, did something happen today?” She was concerned. Wilson was quiet for a minute, then it all came out. In a burst of emotion, he told his mom about the contest, how excited he was to enter, and how angry he felt when his teacher told him that he wouldn’t be allowed to do so this year. “It’s just not fair, Mom,” he complained. “I know I could really do well on it. Why won’t they let me?” Wilson’s mother put her hand on his shoulder. “Sometimes, son,” she said softly, “people follow rules even when they don’t make sense. Perhaps you can persuade your teacher to make an exception for you.” Wilson perked up: he had an idea 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Wilson went straight to Ms. Jones’ office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forty minutes later, he finished Ms. Jones’ test and handed it to her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
