The grand river destinations listed below ensure there’s a dream holiday tailored for you. Nile River Cruise You’ll spend a few days in Cairo, tasting local food and visiting ancient sites with a full-day city tour that takes in the Egyptian Museum and a visit to the famous Khan El Khalili market to pick up some local produce. Moving on, you’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise down the Nile with some short trips along the way. Mekong River Cruise The first few days will be spent on land where you’ll discover Ho Chi Minh City. On your cruise, you’ll make your way to Cambodia and discover floating villages, endless rice fields and breathtaking scenery. A visit to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat is uniquely included, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll have the memorable time when the sun goes down. Rhine River Cruise With an experienced guide we can enjoy Amsterdam before boarding the MS Amadeus ship where we’ll discover cities like Cologne, Basel, and Strasbourg, each filled with rich history and culture. Optional short trips ashore include a visit to the famous wine region of Moselle Valley, where you can taste local wines. Danube River Cruise The holiday begins in Munich, followed by a conducted city tour through the German city of Passau before cruising on the MS Amadeus ship. Along the cruise, you’ll stop off in Emmer Dorf, where you’ll enjoy a guided vineyard tour.

D 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了几项适合度假的乘船游览项目，为游客提供探索海洋之外的城市和景观的理想机会。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“You’ll spend a few days in Cairo, tasting local food and visiting ancient sites with a full-day city tour that takes in the Egyptian Museum and a visit to the famous Khan El Khalili market to pick up some local produce. (你将在开罗呆几天，品尝当地美食，参观古遗址，参加全天的城市旅游，包括埃及博物馆，参观著名的汗·艾尔·哈利利市场，购买一些当地农产品。)”可知，在开罗可以在当地市场购物。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“A visit to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat is uniquely included, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll have the memorable time when the sun goes down. (参观柬埔寨的吴哥窟是独一无二的，它是联合国教科文组织的世界遗产，当太阳下山时，你将在那里度过难忘的时光。)”可知，湄公河之旅的亮点是见证美丽的日落。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒第二段第一句“With an experienced guide, we can enjoy Amsterdam before boarding the MS Amadeus ship where we’ll discover cities like Cologne, Basel, and Strasbourg, each filled with rich history and culture. (在经验丰富的导游的带领下，我们可以在登上MS Amadeus之前欣赏阿姆斯特丹，然后我们将发现科隆，巴塞尔和斯特拉斯堡等城市，每个城市都充满了丰富的历史和文化。)”和最后一段第二句“Along the cruise, you’ll stop off in Emmer Dorf, where you’ll enjoy a guided vineyard tour. (沿着邮轮，您将在埃默多夫停留，在那里您将享受导游的葡萄园之旅。)”可知，最后两个航行的共同之处是都提供有导游的城市旅游。故选C。 B Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award. They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras. But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since. I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie. My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route. 4. What are most climbers’ understanding of “Qomolangma selfie”? A. It comes at a big cost. B. It shows their respect for nature. C. It is inspired by passion. D. It brings a sense of achievement. 5. Why did the author mention his first climbing experience? A. To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff. B. To explain his focus on mountain climbing. C. To express his thoughts on “Qomolangma selfie”. D. To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma. 6. Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma? A. Respectable. B. Challenging. C. Enjoyable. D. Charming. 7. What does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Not all expeditions are worth the effort. B. The meaning of climbing varies greatly. C. Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”. D. Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文作者自述了他通过攀登珠峰改变了之前对珠峰的看法以及体会到登顶的艰辛与所需要的毅力。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award.(许多登山者认为从地球最高点自拍是最高的奖励。)”可知，许多登山者将在地球上最高点的自拍视作终极荣誉，由此可推断，珠峰自拍会给他们带来成就感，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.(这座山似乎代表了我所热爱和尊重的攀岩的对立面。)”可知，起初作者对于攀登珠峰是抗拒的，再由第三段的“The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical wall to the. safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountain s ever since.(我尝试攀登的第一座山只是一座500英尺高的悬崖。我和一位朋友一起，沿着近乎垂直的峭壁向上攀爬了几百英尺，到达了一个小小的岩架上得以安全立足。我们肩并肩坐着，看着太阳向地平线下沉，对我们所做的一切感到惊讶，并想知道我们该如何下山。做一件大多数人不会想到的事情所带来的兴奋、山顶美景的发现以及我和朋友之间的纽带，这些都定义了我在这座山所追寻的意义。)”可知，本段主要介绍了作者第一次的登山经历并在最后一句话点明了他登山所追寻的意义与关注点，所以，他提及第一次爬山经历的目的是为了说明其登山的关注点，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上，当我拍下第一张照片时，我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上，我不断地脱帽致敬，不仅向马洛里致敬，也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知，作者成功登顶珠峰时比之前任何一次攀登经历都要筋疲力尽，从作者的感受可以看出，此次珠峰之行是有挑战性的，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段的“The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.(这座山似乎代表了我所热爱和尊重的攀岩的对立面。)”和最后一段的“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上，当我拍下第一张照片时，我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上，我不断地脱帽致敬，不仅向马洛里致敬，也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知，作者起初抗拒攀登珠峰，后来跟随朋友成功登顶，此次珠峰之旅使他切身地体验到了攀登珠峰的艰辛与对人毅力的考验，这种体验与感受使他一路不断地脱帽致敬以往的登山者们，所以珠峰自拍的背后是对毅力的考验，故选C。 C I think it all started with microwaves. A typical microwave can cook an entire chicken in 16minutes. That’s 3 times faster than the best convection oven (对流烤箱). We still stand in front of microwaves, impatiently tapping our feet, waiting for popcorn to pop. Modern consumer technology and the Internet have only amplified that convenience impatience. We have emails that literally travel around the world in seconds, and yet we still ask the recipient: Did you get it? Where is it? It should be there. A file that takes more than 10 seconds to download is considered a crime. And we’re suddenly faced with a digital queue. The system can’t serve us all at once and asks us to wait. But waiting is a chain in our DNA that is breaking up. This leads to the toe tapping, fingers pianoing on the desk, pen chewing, and eventually hair-pulling as if the thought of waiting a few minutes will drive us mad. Millennials and Gen Z are products of an instant-response childhood. They’ve long lived in a world where their every thought is met with instant response in texts and social media. In real life, these same people have no idea how to wait for a response. The assumption (设想) is that real world works exactly the same as digital. But the system in a company or government doesn’t move at anything near digital speed. In fact, it often moves as slowly as it did in the pre-Internet age. There’s a disconnect between these waits and most of our lives lived through technology. We are biology living in a digital space, enjoying the benefits of instant answers and access, but unable to change our own programming to match its speed. Operating at digital and Internet speed is a great benefit, but we forget that somewhere in the instant access path is often a comparatively slow-moving and slow-thinking human, who can only do so much, and only at a certain pace. When people say slow down, take a breath, they usually mean that you should step back from a busy moment. But this should also include stepping back from your instant-access existence to see that not everything can happen right away. Most of the time, it just doesn’t need to. 8. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Balanced. B. Worsened. C. Maintained. D. Weakened. 9. What is people’s reaction towards a digital queue? A. They lose patience to wait. B. They get embarrassed. C. They enjoy waiting to be served. D. They consider it as normal. 10. What do we know about Millennials and Gen Z? A. They are lacking in social experience. B. They desire for immediate responses. C. They are deeply influenced by the social media. D. They have a good understanding of the real word. 11. What can be concluded from the text? A. Accept things happen at their own pace. B. Go for instant response at any time. C. Make sure everything happens right away. D. Step back to see what has happened. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文讨论了现代科技与互联网带来的便利使人们变得更加急躁，无法耐心等待，尤其是对于那些习惯于即时回应的千禧一代和Z世代。文章建议我们需要适应现实世界中的等待，并认识到并非所有事情都需要立即完成。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第二段后两句话“We have emails that literally travel around the world in seconds, and yet we still ask the recipient: Did you get it? Where is it? It should be there. A file that takes more than 10 seconds to download is considered a crime. (我们的电子邮件在几秒钟内就能传遍世界，但我们仍然会问收件人：你收到了吗？它应该发送过去了。下载时间超过10秒的文件将被视为犯罪。)”用生活中的实例来解释与印证第一句话，即现代消费科技和互联网进一步加剧了人们的不耐烦，使这种情况更糟糕。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句话“But waiting is a chain in our DNA that is breaking up. This leads to the toe tapping, fingers pianoing on the desk, pen chewing, and eventually hair-pulling as if the thought of waiting a few minutes will drive us mad. (但等待是我们DNA中正在断裂的一条链。这就导致了敲脚趾，手指在桌子上弹钢琴，咬笔，最后拉头发，好像等上几分钟就会让我们发疯似的。)”可知，当人们面对线上等位的时候会有种种不耐烦的表现，如脚敲地，手敲桌子，咬钢笔等，好像一想到还得等几分钟就会让我们发疯，我们天生就不喜欢等待，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段前三句话“Millennials and Gen Z are products of an instant-response childhood. They’ve long lived in a world where their every thought is met with instant response in texts and social media. In real life, these same people have no idea how to wait for a response. (千禧一代和Z世代是快速反应童年的产物。长期以来，他们一直生活在这样一个世界里：他们的每一个想法都会在短信和社交媒体上得到即时回应。在现实生活中，这些人不知道如何等待回应。)”可知，千禧一代和Z世代渴望得到即时回应，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When people say slow down, take a breath, they usually mean that you should step back from a busy moment. But this should also include stepping back from your instant-access existence to see that not everything can happen right away. Most of the time, it just doesn’t need to. (当人们说慢下来，深呼吸时，他们通常的意思是你应该从忙碌的时刻退后一步。但这也应该包括从即时访问的存在中退一步，看到不是所有事情都可以立即发生。大多数时候，它根本不需要。)”可知，我们应该明白并非所有事情都能马上发生而且大多数时候，也没必要这样，我们应该学会等待，学会接受万事发生皆有时，故选A。 D Over the years, many scientists have attempted to explain why spending time in green spaces can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, from their supposed ability to clean the air to their mysterious effects on our brains. The most common saying I tend to hear is that plants, particularly houseplants, clean the air. The latest research now suggests that in indoor spaces you would need a lot of them before you see any noticeable benefit. How many? Well, several hundred per square meter of living space to achieve the same benefit of simply opening a window. What we do know, however, is that there is something unusual about the color green that seems to affect how our brains function. Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on psychological well-being have found that seeing views of the natural world on screens had additional benefits over and above the workout alone. However, when they changed the screens to show the same views in black and white or in shades of red, the effect was markedly reduced compared to the original green. This may mean that having evergreen species in your garden or even something as simple as painting your fence green might contribute to its effect. Similarly, designing your garden to require higher maintenance (维护) so that it is not simply somewhere to sunbathe in summer may improve the beneficial effect by encouraging gentle workouts. Low-impact, prolonged exercise, such as gardening, can burn more calories (卡路里) than a hard-hitting gym session, despite feeling easier. It is a way of being active that may appeal to far more people. Gardening is also a classic form of practicing mindfulness, which can help to focus our thoughts on the here and now, distracting us from any worries or stresses. Mindfulness exercises are well-documented to have a positive impact on psychological well-being. So act now, embrace (接受) the power of greenery and turn your garden into a welcoming space. 12. Which factor determines houseplants’ effect on cleaning the air? A. Their quantity. B. Their colors. C. Their varieties. D. Their placement. 13. What is a benefit of seeing the color green during exercise? A. Promoting sports technique. B. Burning more calories. C. Increasing intelligence level. D. Improving mental health. 14. What contributes to the popularity of gardening? A. It is accessible and effective. B. It is affordable and appealing. C. It requires higher maintenance. D. It offers a connection with nature. 15. Why is gardening a form of mindfulness? A. It helps develop a sense of success. B. It frees us from our daily matters. C. It directs our attention to the present. D. It encourages learning and creativity. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了绿色空间对人们的心理健康的积极影响，以及园艺活动的益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The latest research now suggests that in indoor spaces you would need a lot of them before you see any noticeable benefit. How many? Well, several hundred per square meter of living space to achieve the same benefit of simply opening a window.”（最新的研究现在表明，在室内空间，你需要很多植物才能看到任何明显的效果。需要多少呢？好吧，每平方米的生活空间需要几百个，才能达到简单开窗的效果。）可知，决定室内植物清洁空气效果的因素是它们的数量。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on psychological well-being have found that seeing views of the natural world on screens had additional benefits over and above the workout alone. However, when they changed the screens to show the same views in black and white or in shades of red, the effect was markedly reduced compared to the original green.”（研究运动对心理健康的影响的研究人员发现，看到屏幕上的自然景色对于运动本身有额外的好处。然而，当他们改变屏幕显示同样的景色为黑白或红色时，效果明显减弱，与原来的绿色相比。）可知，运动时看到绿色的好处是改善心理健康。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Similarly, designing your garden to require higher maintenance (维护) so that it is not simply somewhere to sunbathe in summer may improve the beneficial effect by encouraging gentle workouts. Low-impact, prolonged exercise, such as gardening, can burn more calories (卡路里) than a hard-hitting gym session, despite feeling easier. It is a way of being active that may appeal to far more people.”（同样地，把你的花园设计成需要更多的维护，这样它就不仅仅是一个夏天晒日光浴的地方，这样可以通过鼓励温和的锻炼来提高有益的效果。低强度、长时间的运动，比如园艺，可以比剧烈运动的健身房燃烧更多的卡路里，尽管感觉更轻松。这是一种活跃的方式，可能会吸引更多的人。）可推知，园艺活动的普及性在于它既易以获得又有效。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Gardening is also a classic form of practicing mindfulness, which can help to focus our thoughts on the here and now, distracting us from any worries or stresses.”（园艺也是练习正念的一种经典形式，它可以帮助我们把注意力集中在当下，分散我们对任何担忧或压力的注意力）可知，园艺也是一种典型的正念练习方式，是因为它引导我们关注当下。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。 Creativity is the skill of thinking up new and different ideas and solutions. ____16____ It comes out in the way we do all sorts of-things, such as solving riddles, playing games or dreaming up new ideas.

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car. “Of course, you can,” her mother agreed. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为120左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy. She greeted him with a warm smile and handed him the plate of food. On receiving the food, the man could hardly conceal his excitement and thanked her joyfully. Meanwhile, Emma sat down beside him, engaging in a heartfelt conservation. Witnessing the moving scene, the mother felt a sense of satisfaction. As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. Moved and delighted, her mother gave her a big hug and praised her for extending a helping hand to the homeless man outside. With another large plate of steak ordered on the table, a surge of happiness and warmth running Emma, she was so relieved that she tasted the steak happily. At that moment, the mother realized that Emma had taught her an invaluable lesson-the joy of giving. While the steak may have been Emma’s favorite, Emma understood the importance of sharing and making a difference in someone else’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天，艾玛的妈妈带艾玛去她最喜欢的牛排店，吃牛排的时候，艾玛提出想把牛排给流浪汉，妈妈同意了。艾玛因为自己做了好事而感到满足。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾玛拿着满满一盘食物迅速离开了桌子”可知，第一段可描写艾玛给流浪汉送食物的经过和妈妈的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾玛回来时，妈妈骄傲地笑了”可知，第二段可描写妈妈为艾玛感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：拿着食物离开——送流浪汉食物——流浪汉感谢——妈妈感到满足——称赞艾玛——妈妈感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：fill with/be full of ②递给：hand/pass/give ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①同情：empathy/sympathy ②高兴：delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy.

The grand river destinations listed below ensure there’s a dream holiday tailored for you. Nile River Cruise You’ll spend a few days in Cairo, tasting local food and visiting ancient sites with a full-day city tour that takes in the Egyptian Museum and a visit to the famous Khan El Khalili market to pick up some local produce. Moving on, you’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise down the Nile with some short trips along the way. Mekong River Cruise The first few days will be spent on land where you’ll discover Ho Chi Minh City. On your cruise, you’ll make your way to Cambodia and discover floating villages, endless rice fields and breathtaking scenery.

Rhine River Cruise With an experienced guide, we can enjoy Amsterdam before boarding the MS Amadeus ship where we’ll discover cities like Cologne, Basel, and Strasbourg, each filled with rich history and culture.

B Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award. They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras. But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since. I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie. My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route. 4. What are most climbers’ understanding of “Qomolangma selfie”? A. It comes at a big cost. B. It shows their respect for nature. C. It is inspired by passion. D. It brings a sense of achievement. 5. Why did the author mention his first climbing experience? A. To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff. B. To explain his focus on mountain climbing. C. To express his thoughts on “Qomolangma selfie”. D. To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma. 6 Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma? A. Respectable. B. Challenging. C. Enjoyable. D. Charming. 7. What does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Not all expeditions are worth the effort. B. The meaning of climbing varies greatly. C. Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”. D. Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma. C I think it all started with microwaves. A typical microwave can cook an entire chicken in 16minutes. That’s 3 times faster than the best convection oven (对流烤箱). We still stand in front of microwaves, impatiently tapping our feet, waiting for popcorn to pop. Modern consumer technology and the Internet have only amplified that convenience impatience. We have emails that literally travel around the world in seconds, and yet we still ask the recipient: Did you get it? Where is it? It should be there. A file that takes more than 10 seconds to download is considered a crime. And we’re suddenly faced with a digital queue. The system can’t serve us all at once and asks us to wait. But waiting is a chain in our DNA that is breaking up. This leads to the toe tapping, fingers pianoing on the desk, pen chewing, and eventually hair-pulling as if the thought of waiting a few minutes will drive us mad. Millennials and Gen Z are products of an instant-response childhood. They’ve long lived in a world where their every thought is met with instant response in texts and social media. In real life, these same people have no idea how to wait for a response. The assumption (设想) is that real world works exactly the same as digital. But the system in a company or government doesn’t move at anything near digital speed. In fact, it often moves as slowly as it did in the pre-Internet age. There’s a disconnect between these waits and most of our lives lived through technology. We are biology living in a digital space, enjoying the benefits of instant answers and access, but unable to change our own programming to match its speed. Operating at digital and Internet speed is a great benefit, but we forget that somewhere in the instant access path is often a comparatively slow-moving and slow-thinking human, who can only do so much, and only at a certain pace. When people say slow down, take a breath, they usually mean that you should step back from a busy moment. But this should also include stepping back from your instant-access existence to see that not everything can happen right away. Most of the time, it just doesn’t need to. 8. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Balanced. B. Worsened. C. Maintained. D. Weakened. 9. What is people’s reaction towards a digital queue? A. They lose patience to wait. B. They get embarrassed. C. They enjoy waiting to be served. D. They consider it as normal. 10. What do we know about Millennials and Gen Z? A. They are lacking in social experience. B. They desire for immediate responses. C. They are deeply influenced by the social media. D. They have a good understanding of the real word. 11. What can be concluded from the text? A. Accept things happen at their own pace. B. Go for instant response at any time. C. Make sure everything happens right away. D. Step back to see what has happened. D Over the years, many scientists have attempted to explain why spending time in green spaces can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, from their supposed ability to clean the air to their mysterious effects on our brains. The most common saying I tend to hear is that plants, particularly houseplants, clean the air. The latest research now suggests that in indoor spaces you would need a lot of them before you see any noticeable benefit. How many? Well, several hundred per square meter of living space to achieve the same benefit of simply opening a window. What we do know, however, is that there is something unusual about the color green that seems to affect how our brains function. Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on psychological well-being have found that seeing views of the natural world on screens had additional benefits over and above the workout alone. However, when they changed the screens to show the same views in black and white or in shades of red, the effect was markedly reduced compared to the original green. This may mean that having evergreen species in your garden or even something as simple as painting your fence green might contribute to its effect. Similarly, designing your garden to require higher maintenance (维护) so that it is not simply somewhere to sunbathe in summer may improve the beneficial effect by encouraging gentle workouts. Low-impact, prolonged exercise, such as gardening, can burn more calories (卡路里) than a hard-hitting gym session, despite feeling easier.

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car. “Of course, you can,” her mother agreed. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为120左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBBAC 6-10 BCBAA 11-15 BACAC 16-20 ABBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
