You don’t need to remove certain kinds of foods from your diet, but rather select the healthiest ones. Protein: protein gives us the energy to get up and go — and keep going — while also supporting mood and cognitive (认知) function. Over protein can be bad to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products — many plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the necessary protein it needs. Fat: not all fat is the same. While bad fat can destroy your diet and increase the possibility of certain diseases, good fat protects your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fat — such as omega-3s —is necessary to your physical and emotional health. Understanding how to include more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood and your well-beings. Fiber: eating foods high in dietary fiber (grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and beans) can help you stay regular and lower the possibility of heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, experts suggest you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber each day. Calcium(钙): your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong, send messages through the nervous system, and control the heart’s rhythm. Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Whatever your age or gender, it’s necessary to include calcium-rich foods in your diet. 1. What can we know about protein from the second paragraph? A. We should have less protein when we get older. B. We should have as much protein as possible. C. Animal products provide more protein. D. Protein can improve a person’s mood. 2. Which is one benefit of foods high in fiber? A. They provide more energy. B. They are good for eyesight. C. They help improve the skin. D. They help build healthy teeth. 3. What’s the effect of shortage of calcium? A. People may become older easily. B. People may have trouble with sleep. C. People may have the risk of kidney disease. D. People may gain weight quickly in a short time. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述通过均衡饮食摄入蛋白质、脂肪、钙和纤维来保持健康，并且介绍蛋白质、脂肪、钙和纤维的摄入量对健康的影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Protein: protein gives us the energy to get up and go — and keep going — while also supporting mood and cognitive (认知) function.（蛋白质：蛋白质给你起床，走的能量，并且永不止步。也能帮助改善心情和认知功能）”可知，蛋白质能改善人的心情，故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight.（它能改善你的皮肤，甚至是帮你减肥。）”可知，高纤维食物的一个优点是改善皮肤，故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.（在饮食中没有获取足够的钙也会导致焦虑、抑郁和睡眠问题。）”可知，缺钙的影响是人们或许睡眠有问题，故选B项。 B William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Challenging. C. relaxing. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Avoid. B. Visit. C. Compare. D. Evaluate. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They suffer from a tight budget. B. They have scheduling conflicts. C. They are faced with language barriers. D. They hold different educational ideas. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text? A. Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages. B. There is no royal road to learning. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Man who travels far knows more. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了William Lindesay是著名的长城专家和自然环境保护主义者，他和妻子带着孩子走遍世界各地，用实际行动践行了“读万卷书不如行万里路”。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.(他们的大多数旅行似乎都不是轻松的——在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究，在新西兰徒步旅行53公里，在英国的三座山顶上攀登一天，从北京到莫斯科坐六天的火车)”可推知，他们的很多旅行是具有挑战性的。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel. (许多人认为这个家庭一定很富有，能负担得起他们的环球旅行，但事实并非如此。林赛说，他们只是选择把钱花在旅行上)”以及下文“pricey hotels and restaurants where possible (尽可能去昂贵的酒店和餐厅)”以及林赛提到的例子可知，许多人认为这个家庭一定很富有，能负担得起他们的全球旅行，但事实并非如此。林赛说，他们只是选择把钱花在旅行上，尽可能避开昂贵的酒店和餐馆。故画线词eschew的意思是“避开，回避，避免”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling.(然而，他们的旅行可能持续数周或数月，有时与孩子的学校教育不一致)”可知，他们在旅行中遇到的问题是旅行的时间和孩子上学时间的冲突。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.(林赛非常重视课堂外的学习，他说孩子们可能在学校考试中取得好成绩，但到外面旅行，在遥远的地方，在不同的语言、文化和政治结构中，才是真正的考验。“你只能在街上获得街头智慧。只有在见识了世界之后，你才能变得善于处事。”)”可推知，林赛会认同“读万卷书不如行万里路”这一观点。故选D。 C What is the best part of a typical relaxing summer day? Nothing is better than sitting in an armchair with a beer and some chips in your hand, enjoying the great comfort. The much-loved combination of beer and chips is being exploited for the first time to deal with climate change. Chips firm Walkers has adopted a technique it says will cut CO2 emissions (排放) from its production process by 70%. The technology will use CO2 captured from beer processing in a brewery (啤酒厂), which is then mixed with potato waste and turned into fertilizer. It will then be spread on UK fields to feed the following year’s potato crop. Creating fertilizer normally produces high CO2 emissions, but the technology adopted by Walkers makes fertilizer without generating CO2. So, the beer-and-chips combination performs a double function. It stops the emission of brewery CO2 into the atmosphere — and it saves on the CO2 normally generated by fertilizer production. This Creative win-win solution was developed with an approval from the UK government by a 14-employee start-up called CCm. The fertilizer was experimented on potato seed beds this year, and next year Walkers will install CCm equipment at its Leicester factory to prepare for its 2022 crop. A decision has not yet been made on which brewery Walkers will work with on this. The new technology adds to carbon-saving techniques already under way. The firm has installed an anaerobic digester (厌氧消化池), which feeds potato waste to bacteria to produce a useful gas. The gas is burned to make electricity for the chip-frying process — so this saves on burning gas or coal. The new system will go a step further by taking away potato “cake” left after digestion — and mixing the brewery CO2 into it to make an enriched fertilizer which will help put carbon back into the soil as well as encouraging plant growth. It’s an example of scientists finding ways to use CO2 emissions which otherwise would increase the over-heating of the planet. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To draw readers’ attention. B. To entertain readers. C. To show how useful beer and chips are to our life. D. To introduce a way of life. 9. Which of the following is an advantage of the system? A. It will be totally cost-free. B. It doesn’t consume any energy. C. It will be a perfect solution to climate change. D. It is environmentally-friendly. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How CO2 is turned into fertilizer. B. How the technology stops CO2 emissions. C. How an energy-saving green technology works. D. The advantages of a new technology. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. The technology will fix the problem of global warming. B. Walkers has a wide range of partner choices.? C. This technology will be adopted by many chips firms soon. D. Scientists are seeking solutions to climate change. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家找到了利用二氧化碳排放的一个办法——啤酒和薯条的组合——来应对气候变化，减少地球的热量。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What is the best part of a typical relaxing summer day? Nothing is better than sitting in an armchair with a beer and some chips in your hand, enjoying the great comfort. (一个典型的放松的夏日里最好的部分是什么？没有什么比坐在扶手椅上，手里拿着啤酒和一些薯条，享受这种巨大的舒适更好的了。)”和第二段中“The much-loved combination of beer and chips is being exploited for the first time to deal with climate change. (人们喜爱的啤酒和薯条的组合首次被用来应对气候变化。)”可知，第一段的目的是吸引读者的注意，引出下文。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chips firm Walkers has adopted a technique it says will cut CO2 emissions (排放) from its production process by 70%. (薯片公司Walkers采用了一种技术，据说可以将其生产过程中的二氧化碳排放量减少70%。)”和第三段中“Creating fertilizer normally produces high CO2 emissions, but the technology adopted by Walkers makes fertilizer without generating CO2. So, the beer-and-chips combination performs a double function. (制造肥料通常会产生很高的二氧化碳排放，但Walkers所采用的技术在制造肥料时不会产生二氧化碳。因此，啤酒和薯条的组合有双重功能。)”可知，该系统的优点之一是有环保性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The technology will use CO2 captured from beer processing in a brewery (啤酒厂), which is then mixed with potato waste and turned into fertilizer. It will then be spread on UK fields to feed the following year’s potato crop. (这项技术将使用啤酒厂从啤酒加工过程中捕获的二氧化碳，然后与马铃薯废料混合，变成肥料。然后，它将被传播到英国的田地里，为来年的马铃薯作物提供养料。)”和“It stops the emission of brewery CO2 into the atmosphere — and it saves on the CO2 normally generated by fertilizer production. (它可以阻止啤酒厂将二氧化碳排放到大气中，还可以节省通常由化肥生产产生的二氧化碳。)”可知，本段主要是介绍了这项绿色节能技术的工作原理。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s an example of scientists finding ways to use CO2 emissions which otherwise would increase the over-heating of the planet. (这是科学家们设法利用二氧化碳排放的一个例子，否则它会加剧地球的过热。)”可推知，科学家们正在寻找气候变化的解决方案。故选D项。 D The word listen, as is shown in Longman Dictionary, means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear. Listening is definitely an important skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers. After all, people like being listened to. Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not. Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a hostage (人质) negotiator, dealing with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps (绑架). He defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words”. It is crucial to all effective communication. Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other person’s values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. The listener’s focus should be on analysis. Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. For example, you can check with the other person by saying “It seems to me that what you want is…”. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says. 12. What can we learn about a “listening circle”? A. A listening circle focuses on personal issues. B. In a listening circle, a speaker won’t be interrupted. C. A listening circle increases worries about work-related matters. D. Employees get rid of social anxiety by taking part in a listening circle. 13. What’s Mr Mullender’s attitude to speaking occasionally when listening? A. Critical. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Favorable. 14. Why should we be good listeners? A. To be liked and trusted by the other person. B. To check our assessments with the other person. C. To make assessments of what the other person is saying. D. To have a sense of being understood by the other person. 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. The Analysis of a Listening Circle B. The Tricks of Successful Listening C. The Misunderstanding of Listening D. The Necessity of Effective Listening 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了成功倾听的秘诀。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption.(一些公司使用一种被称为“倾听圈”的技术。在这样的圈子里，一次只有一个人可以谈论他们面临的问题，而且没有中断)”可知，在“倾听圈”中，说话者不会被打断。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. For example, you can check with the other person by saying “It seems to me that what you want is …”. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. (当然，倾听者需要偶尔说话。一种方法是对对方告诉你的内容进行评估，然后与他们核对。例如，你可以通过说“在我看来，你想要的是……”来与对方核实。这给对方一种他们被理解的感觉)”可知，对于倾听时偶尔说话，Mullender先生的态度是支持的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says.(Mullender先生说，基本目标是建立一种关系，让对方喜欢你并信任你)”可知，我们要成为好的倾听者，是为了被对方喜欢和信任。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Listening is definitely an important skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers.(倾听无疑是沟通中的一项重要技能。“当人们说话时，要认真倾听。”欧内斯特·海明威的这些话可能是许多管理者的一个很好的指导原则)”、倒数第二段“A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other person’s values.(一个好的倾听者总是在寻找事实、情绪和他人价值观的迹象)”以及最后一段“Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally.(当然，倾听者需要偶尔说话)”可知，本文主要介绍了成功倾听的秘诀，所以“成功倾听的秘诀”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four ways to find humour in everyday life If you think your life is too boring to be funny, joke’s on you: humour is all around us. ____16____ It sparks energy, improves mood and increases overall health. Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits. When you experience humour with somebody, you bond with them. When people are bonded, they feel more relaxed and comfortable. Doctor Sultanoff offered the following tips. ● Figure out what makes you laugh Think about what kind of humour appeals to you, then seek it out as often as possible.

You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more. ● Master one joke Many of us innately (天生的) love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn’t require great comedic skill. “I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.” ____19____ ● Train yourself to be quick-witted Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby, and as he was leaving. Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” ____20____ What would you say if you were the man? Well, after a moment’s embarrassment, the man said, “Don’t worry about my son. He hasn’t had a shower yet today.” Brainstorm quips (俏皮话), and you’ll “train yourself to at some point be able to do them in the moment they occur.” A. Social media can also be useful B. That made the man a little awkward. C. Discover at least one funny thing a day D. Try to smile as frequently as you can every day E. Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter F. Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits G. Laughing helps you improve your health and interact easily with others 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了4个在日常生活中发现幽默方法。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits.(给生活增添幽默感也会带来社会效益)”中的also推知，空处陈述在日常生活中添加幽默是有好处的。F项“Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits(在日常生活中增加幽默感会带来多种好处)”符合题意，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. (去看喜剧节目，花更多的时间和那些让你开怀大笑的人在一起)”和下文“Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax.(在Instagram或TikTok上存储一些有趣的视频，然后在需要放松时查看)”可知，除了去看喜剧节目，浏览社交媒体，看有趣的视频也有用。A项“Social media can also be useful(社交媒体也很有用)”符合题意，下文是对选项的具体说明。故选A。 【18题详解】 空处为本段小标题。根据下文“We’re often not aware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I’m going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more.(在我们开始寻找之前，我们通常不会意识到眼前是什么，所以每天都要有寻找幽默的意图。Sultanoff建议：“当你早上醒来时，说，‘我今天要找到一件我可以笑的事情。’”。你会在意想不到的地方发现有趣的地方，并笑得更多)”可知，本段建议每天都寻找幽默的、可笑的事。C项“Discover at least one funny thing a day(每天至少发现一件有趣的事情)”可以作为本段小标题，funny是关键词。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Master one joke(掌握一个笑话)”可知，本段建议掌握一个笑话，结合空处上文““I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.”(苏尔塔诺夫说：“我告诉人们要学会一个简单、好的笑话。”。“不需要很长时间。”)”可知，学到一个简单的笑话后，通过不断练习来掌握，并在适当的时候运用它。E项“Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter(练习它，然后在需要笑声的情况下使用它)”符合题意，承接上文。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice.

She was not comfortable in her own skin and feared people would label her “ugly” after seeing the burn scar on her face. It hurt her every time she had to recall that tragedy where her face was badly burned in a big fire. She enjoyed being alone, lost in books and melodies on her guitar. Shortly after Lisa’s 15th birthday, Chris, Lisa’s father, was stricken by a severe illness and lost his ability to walk. However, Chris managed to provide for the family. He sent his daughters to school and did everything possible to improve their lives. But their difficulties never ceased, mainly after he had to spend much on his mother’s heart treatment. It appeared as though fate had only terrible plans for this family. Lisa knew everything, and she couldn’t bear to watch her daddy struggling so much. She wanted to help relieve her family’s burden. “What can I do to improve our lives?” Lisa lost in deep thought. One day, a leaflet promoting a local music contest landed on Lisa’s foot. Lisa’s eyes sparkled with hope when she read it and saw that the cash prize was $25,000. Lisa secretly registered for the music contest. Over the years, she had been passionate about music, skilled at playing the guitar and mastering numerous musical pieces. Now, she needed to compose an original song, sing it and accompany it with her guitar. Lisa locked herself in her room in her spare time, preparing for the contest. In her original composition, she illustrated the joyful moments spent with her family, and she emphasized her heart felt gratitude for her father’s contribution to the entire household. Her lyrics over-flowed with genuine emotion. She tirelessly worked on the song, determined to perfect her performance. With the date for the contest approaching, Lisa spent more time on her preparations. She seemed no longer afraid to look at herself in the mirror. She often stood in front of the mirror, practiced her song and imagined her performance on the stage. Hopefully, she thought she would give her father a big surprise. 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 big day arrived, and Lisa was nervous. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Despite not winning the contest, Lisa’s performance impressed many audiences, including a musician. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The big day arrived, and Lisa was nervous. She gathered all her courage and walked onto the stage. Her heart beat fast as she sensed the audiences’ eyes on her, their sympathetic glances directed at her scar. “Just let it go,” she told herself and tried to keep calm. Fingering her guitar, she poured her emotions into singing her original composition. However, she did not make it to the final round. Lisa was terribly upset and returned home heart-broken. Despite not winning the contest, Lisa’s performance impressed many audiences, including a musician. Three days after the contest, the musician, accompanied by the host of the contest, came to Lisa’s home. The musician offered Lisa the chance to join a band and receive professional music training because Lisa had music al talent. Thrilled by the unexpected opportunity, Lisa’s spirits lifted as she realized that her journey was far from over. With renewed determination, she started this new chapter, eager to see where it would take her. And she realized that talent, not beauty, was what mattered most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的丽莎因为大火脸上留下了疤痕，十分自卑，家庭也陷入了一系列悲剧中。丽莎想要通过参加比赛，改善家里的情况，尽管没有赢得比赛，丽莎的表演给一位音乐家留下了深刻印象，并最终给了丽莎加入乐队并接受专业音乐训练的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大日子到了，丽莎很紧张”可知，第一段可描写丽莎比赛的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“尽管没有赢得比赛，丽莎的表演给许多观众留下了深刻的印象，其中包括一位音乐家”可知，第二段可描写丽莎得到音乐家的帮助进入乐队，开始了新的篇章。 2.续写线索：参加比赛——感到紧张——完成表演——未能进入决赛——被音乐家注意——进入阅读——开启新的篇章——丽莎感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回家：return home/go back home ②重要：matter /count ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①沮丧：upset/frustrated ②同情：sympathetic/merciful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her heart beat fast as she sensed the audiences’ eyes on her, their sympathetic glances directed at her scar.

You don’t need to remove certain kinds of foods from your diet, but rather select the healthiest ones. Protein: protein gives us the energy to get up and go — and keep going — while also supporting mood and cognitive (认知) function. Over protein can be bad to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products — many plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the necessary protein it needs. Fat: not all fat is the same. While bad fat can destroy your diet and increase the possibility of certain diseases, good fat protects your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fat — such as omega-3s —is necessary to your physical and emotional health. Understanding how to include more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood and your well-beings. Fiber: eating foods high in dietary fiber (grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and beans) can help you stay regular and lower the possibility of heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, experts suggest you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber each day. Calcium(钙): your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong, send messages through the nervous system, and control the heart’s rhythm. Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Whatever your age or gender, it’s necessary to include calcium-rich foods in your diet. 1. What can we know about protein from the second paragraph? A. We should have less protein when we get older. B. We should have as much protein as possible. C. Animal products provide more protein. D. Protein can improve a person’s mood. 2. Which is one benefit of foods high in fiber? A. They provide more energy. B. They are good for eyesight. C. They help improve the skin. D. They help build healthy teeth. 3. What’s the effect of shortage of calcium? A. People may become older easily. B. People may have trouble with sleep. C. People may have the risk of kidney disease. D. People may gain weight quickly in a short time. B William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4 How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Challenging. C. relaxing. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Avoid. B. Visit. C. Compare. D. Evaluate. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They suffer from a tight budget. B. They have scheduling conflicts. C. They are faced with language barriers. D. They hold different educational ideas. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text? A. Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages. B. There is no royal road to learning. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Man who travels far knows more. C What is the best part of a typical relaxing summer day? Nothing is better than sitting in an armchair with a beer and some chips in your hand, enjoying the great comfort. The much-loved combination of beer and chips is being exploited for the first time to deal with climate change. Chips firm Walkers has adopted a technique it says will cut CO2 emissions (排放) from its production process by 70%. The technology will use CO2 captured from beer processing in a brewery (啤酒厂), which is then mixed with potato waste and turned into fertilizer. It will then be spread on UK fields to feed the following year’s potato crop. Creating fertilizer normally produces high CO2 emissions, but the technology adopted by Walkers makes fertilizer without generating CO2. So, the beer-and-chips combination performs a double function. It stops the emission of brewery CO2 into the atmosphere — and it saves on the CO2 normally generated by fertilizer production. This Creative win-win solution was developed with an approval from the UK government by a 14-employee start-up called CCm. The fertilizer was experimented on potato seed beds this year, and next year Walkers will install CCm equipment at its Leicester factory to prepare for its 2022 crop. A decision has not yet been made on which brewery Walkers will work with on this. The new technology adds to carbon-saving techniques already under way. The firm has installed an anaerobic digester (厌氧消化池), which feeds potato waste to bacteria to produce a useful gas. The gas is burned to make electricity for the chip-frying process — so this saves on burning gas or coal. The new system will go a step further by taking away potato “cake” left after digestion — and mixing the brewery CO2 into it to make an enriched fertilizer which will help put carbon back into the soil as well as encouraging plant growth. It’s an example of scientists finding ways to use CO2 emissions which otherwise would increase the over-heating of the planet. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To draw readers’ attention. B. To entertain readers. C. To show how useful beer and chips are to our life. D. To introduce a way of life. 9. Which of the following is an advantage of the system? A. It will be totally cost-free. B. It doesn’t consume any energy. C It will be a perfect solution to climate change. D. It is environmentally-friendly. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How CO2 is turned into fertilizer. B. How the technology stops CO2 emissions. C. How an energy-saving green technology works. D. The advantages of a new technology. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. The technology will fix the problem of global warming. B Walkers has a wide range of partner choices.? C. This technology will be adopted by many chips firms soon. D. Scientists are seeking solutions to climate change. D The word listen, as is shown in Longman Dictionary, means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear. Listening is definitely an important skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers. After all, people like being listened to. Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not. Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a hostage (人质) negotiator, dealing with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps (绑架). He defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words”. It is crucial to all effective communication. Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other person’s values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. The listener’s focus should be on analysis. Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them.

Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits. When you experience humour with somebody, you bond with them. When people are bonded, they feel more relaxed and comfortable. Doctor Sultanoff offered the following tips. ● Figure out what makes you laugh Think about what kind of humour appeals to you, then seek it out as often as possible. Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. ____17____ Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax. ● ____18____ We’re often not aware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I’m going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more. ● Master one joke Many of us innately (天生的) love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn’t require great comedic skill. “I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.” ____19____ ● Train yourself to be quick-witted Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby, and as he was leaving. Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” ____20____ What would you say if you were the man? Well, after a moment’s embarrassment, the man said, “Don’t worry about my son. He hasn’t had a shower yet today.” Brainstorm quips (俏皮话), and you’ll “train yourself to at some point be able to do them in the moment they occur.” A. Social media can also be useful B. That made the man a little awkward. C. Discover at least one funny thing a day D. Try to smile as frequently as you can every day E. Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter F. Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits G. Laughing helps you improve your health and interact easily with others 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A few years ago, I spared a couple of hours from busy academic learning to work in a video store on a daily basis.

She was not comfortable in her own skin and feared people would label her “ugly” after seeing the burn scar on her face. It hurt her every time she had to recall that tragedy where her face was badly burned in a big fire. She enjoyed being alone, lost in books and melodies on her guitar. Shortly after Lisa’s 15th birthday, Chris, Lisa’s father, was stricken by a severe illness and lost his ability to walk. However, Chris managed to provide for the family. He sent his daughters to school and did everything possible to improve their lives. But their difficulties never ceased, mainly after he had to spend much on his mother’s heart treatment. It appeared as though fate had only terrible plans for this family. Lisa knew everything, and she couldn’t bear to watch her daddy struggling so much. She wanted to help relieve her family’s burden. “What can I do to improve our lives?” Lisa lost in deep thought. One day, a leaflet promoting a local music contest landed on Lisa’s foot. Lisa’s eyes sparkled with hope when she read it and saw that the cash prize was $25,000. Lisa secretly registered for the music contest. Over the years, she had been passionate about music, skilled at playing the guitar and mastering numerous musical pieces. Now, she needed to compose an original song, sing it and accompany it with her guitar. Lisa locked herself in her room in her spare time, preparing for the contest.
