In some ways, it's because they are effective (有效的) listeners. Some just daydream or talk to others. They are ineffective listeners. How are some listeners effective? First, they don't care about something like an uncomfortable seat or a poor deskmate. They say“ No” to anything that will stop them from understanding and remembering. After leaving a class or meeting, they remember what the speakers said, not the things or the people in the room. Effective listeners always care more about the message itself. They try not to be influenced(被影响) by others or their own feelings. They don't decide if the thing is boring, too easy, or too difficult before listening. They like getting the challenge(挑战) of new ideas. To help remember difficult ideas, they write down important words and phrases. However, ineffective listeners often daydream. They don't like to listen to easy points. And when they meet difficult ones, they' re always busy taking notes. So they may miss the speaker's main idea. These listeners get a notebook full of words, but it's usually useless. 46. To be an effective listeners, you should ▲ . A. try to write down everything B. try to know the people around you C. care more about the message itself D. remember something about the speaker 47. Which of the following shows the listener is effective? A. Suzy stopped listening when she found what the speaker said was easy. B. Betty wrote down important words and phrases when meeting difficult ideas. C. Linda was very busy wrıting down each word the speaker said in the meeting. D. Andrew stopped to listen to his deskmate when he thought Maths wasn't difficult. 48. Where can you read the passage? A. In a storybook. B. In a magazine. C. In a poem. D. In an advertisement. B Like people, anımals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest. Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead(前方) far into the sea when they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouth when they are ready to sleep. Then there's a bubble around them. The bubble protects them when they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunk s sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored (储存的) food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before wakıng up agaın. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot and dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy(叶茂的) places in trees m each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night.

The Games are very“ smart” because of the use of many exciting technologies(技术). The place for the tennis finals is sometimes called the“ Small Lotus (莲花)”. On the top of the stadium(体育场), there are eight“ petals”(花瓣). Each petal weighs 160 tons. They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. The design is for different kinds of weather. What if there's an accident during the game and the athletes(运动员) need first aid(您救)? Drones (无人机) can be used to send things over. They can fly as far as 20 kilometers and travel 16 meters in one second. Every dish at the Asian Games should be safe and healthy to eat. In the kitchen of the athletes’ village in Hangzhou, there is a special system that can tell people’s faces. If a“ stranger” goes into the kitchen, an alarm(警报) will go off to let people know. Do you want to walk around at the stadiums but can't make it in person? You can try the Hangzhou Asian Games’ metaverse(元宇宙)! You can try it with an app on Alipay. Inside, it’s like an online cartoon world. You can enjoy the charm(魅力) of the stadiums both from the outside and inside. It will be sad if you can't find your way. Augmented reality is here to help.

If yes, you are far from alone Math anxiety(焦虑) becomes a common feeling among students around the world. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America shows students in countries with higher levels(水平) of math anxiety may get lower math grades. A University of Cambridge study shows many people feel worried, nervous, even strong fear when facing a math problem in daily life. Another report from The Guardian says that these people might try not to face something about numbers. That is to say, they would not work on jobs about math, such as science, technology. However, people with math anxiety aren't sure to be bad at math.“ If a child has math anxıety, don't conclude(断定) that he is not good at math. He may have a really bad experience(经历)with math and there are ways to make it better,” Daniel Ansari told the London Free Press. Also, there are ways to relieve math anxiety. If you' re feeling anxious before a math exam, it may be helpful to spend a few minutes understanding those feelings before the exam begins.“ You may have a fast heartbeat, but that doesn't mean you will fail,” Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC. Ian Lyons, at Georgetown University in the US, thinks just like some speakers feel nervous before giving a speech(演讲), this nervous feeling could motivate(激励) us to do better. 57. What do we know about math anxiety? A. Math anxiety must bring lower math grades. B. Math anxiety is very common around the world. C. Having math anxiety will make you fail in the test. D. The people with math anxiety are often bad at math. 58. Which of the following is TRUE about people with math anxiety? A. They often face something about numbers. B. They enjoy working on jobs about science. C. They may have a bad experience with math. D. They have a fast heartbeat before every math exam. 59. What does the underlined word“ relieve” mean? A. 缓解 B. 研究 C. 发现 D. 引起 60. What can we infer(推断) from Ian Lyons' idea? A. Math anxiety is not always bad for us. B. It's important for speakers to feel nervous. C. Sometimes a fast heartbeat means you' ll fail. D. All people feel nervous when giving speeches. 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共65分) 五、综合填空(本题共20小题； 每小题1分，满分20分) A. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据括号中的上下文、中文提示或英文释义，写出合适的单词，使短文通顺。 61.
