Research by Washington State University in the US,has found spending time with a dog can help stressed out students.Patricia Pendry from the university told the BBC that a study of 300 undergraduates had found weekly hour-long sessions with dogs brought to the university by professional dog trainers had made stressed students at high risk of34 failure or dropping out feel relaxed and accepted.The dogs helped them to 35,learn and remember information. I know that touching a dog gently helps me to relax;other research has shown that petting animals can reduce stress hormone levels and 36,so it makes sense to introduce them into an environment where people are stressed.Sean Coughlan from BBC writes that around 1,000 campuses in the US already use therapy pets and it's becoming more 37 in the UK.For example,The University of Middlesex has employed“canine(犬的)teaching assistants”to help stop lonely students dropping out.Fiona Slithers,head of clinical skills at the university,says that five Labradors(拉布s拉多)hada“strict assessment'”to_38 they had the right temperament(脾 )But she adds"it's hard to describe the 39 of just having a dog lying down in the corner of a class..” Using dogs for therapy can also help the dogs themselves.In Wales,Swansea University Students'Union has used rescued greyhounds (to help students between exams.Sessions allow mistreated and abandoned dogs to 40with humans and begin to trust them again.

Others deal with a state,a region,a nation,or an45continent.Many geography books deal with the whole 46.Another way to 47 the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography.The former 48 on the natural world; the latter starts with human beings and49how human beings and their environment act upon each other.But when geography is considered as a single subject,50 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be51as one who observes,records,and explains the 52 between places.If all places were 53,there would be little need for geographers.

(A) My son,Toby,17 months old,has just tested positive for COVID-19.He is the first in our household to test positive,and all the information provided for people in this situation is designed for adults who are (or should be)concerned about protecting their families.Toby,obviously, cannot comprehend such advice.He cannot keep a distance from everybody else,or eat and wash in a separate room.We called 911,and the medic we spoke to agreed that the official guidance didn't really apply to our situation. 5/10 Indeed.Not much we can do.So,here we are,trapped within our four walls with a little baby infected with COVED-19,who continues to climb on us,spit in our faces,love us and hug us. It seems inevitable that we,and our elder son,are going to get COVID now.Not much we can do. My first reaction,after absorbing his diagnosis(珍断)，was to cook sausages.【didn't even know that was my comfort food of choice.Perhaps an afternoon crisis would have caused a different cooking desire?Anyway,a full stomach helped me take stock.Yes,it may now be inevitable that we're going to contract the very virus we've spent a year avoiding,but as long as we don't contract it at the same time,then,hopefully,one or other of us will be available to look after our kids (thus answering my five-year-old's most pressing concern:"...but who will make the pudding?”). So,to minimise asymptomatic transmission,we've opened all the windows.And we've decided to wear face coverings whenever we are with Toby.This decision has been insignificant to him--I imagine he literally cannot remember life before masks-but for me,it's distressing.I've become accustomed to wearing masks in supermarkets and coffee shops,of course,but to actually walk around with half my face covered in my own house is quite another matter-it is telling me that my home has been infected.That it's no longer a safe space. And so it was,when I sat down to write this column,that I ended up writing about COVID, which is probably the last thing you wanted to read.Sorry about that.COVID has coloured my thoughts today,even though I know that my wife and children will be fine,and that really we should just be grateful we haven't passed it on to my grandmother. I predict there will be more sausages in the morning. 56.By repeating the sentence "Not much we can do"in paragraph 2,the writer implies that A.he feels annoyed B.he is really helpless C.he wants professional support D.he needs to keep a distance from Toby 57.According to the writer,what did sausages bring to him? A.Sadness. B.Appetite. C.Concern. D.Relief. 58.Why did wearing masks at home cause distress to the writer? A.It discourages him from writing about COVID. B.It lets him remember the days before COVID-19. C.It is a reminder of what is happening to his family. D.It makes him feel at a loss for how to help his son. 59.What can be concluded from the passage? A.The diagnosis leaves the writer's family in a tough spot. B.The writer is sure that his other kids won't contract the virus. C.Being infected with COVID-19 makes Toby in a bad mood. D.Sausages have long been considered by many to be comfort food (B) 6/10 Experiment with Our Food Want to cook up a delicious meal?It's not just about the food.We chat to psychologist Prof. Charles Spence about the strange sclence of gastrophysics What exactly is gastrophysics? It's a combination of 'gastronomy ()and 'psychophysics',which involves the scientific study of how our experience of food and drink is affected by our senses and our surroundings,not just the food itself.It's a small but growing area of research which brings together psychologists,neuroscientists,marketeers,chefs,product designers,and even musicians. So what kinds ofthings can affect our sense of taste? Pretty much everything!From the colour and shape of the plates to the weight and material of the cutlery ()through to the shape of the table and the feel of the chair you're sitting on.Then there's the number of people you're with,the mood you're in,the lighting and background music in the restaurant,and memories associated with the food.When you put all these factors together,it adds up a lot. What's the most surprising way in which our taste can be influenced? It's the idea of sonic seasoning,which uses sounds to change the taste of food.You can add as much as 15 per cent extra sweetness,sourness,or bitterness to a food simply by playing the right sort of music.We've created music to enhance sweetness and bitterness,and we also have music for sour,and spicy foods.Working with the Michelin-starred chocolatier Dominique Persoone in Belgium,we even showed that if we played'creamy'music in his stores w e could add extra creaminess to his chocolate. Neuroscientists have found direct connections in the mouse brain between the senses of smell and sound,so it might be that this occurs in humans too.Sonic seasoning is already being used to enhance meals in fancy restaurants,but we could also see it being used to benefit health by,for example,playing 'sweet'music so that we're happy with less sugar in our food. What's the most innovative use of gastrophysics you've seen? There's a lot happening in the world of cutlery design.Heston Blumenthal's restaurant The Fat Duck is currently serving a dish called Counting Sheep,which comes with a fluffy(毛茸茸的)， weighted spoon that smells of baby powder,designed to enhance the eating experience.We've found that food tends to taste better with heavier cutlery--possibly because we associate weight with quality. 60.Which of the following statements is true of gastrophysics? A.It covers different subjects. B.It neglects food to some extent. C.It has been in existence for long. D.It is created by a psychophysicist. 7/10 61.According to Charles Spence,how can sonic seasoning be used to do good to our health? A.Helping us to be more resistant to the temptatlon to eat unhealthy food. B.Playing some music to make us feel our food is sweeter than it really is. C.Making experiments with mice to find out what food benefits our health. D.Training human brains to associate certain sounds with a particular flavour. 62.Which of the following examples best illustrates the use of gastrophysics? A.A restaurant hires a psychologist to design its layout. B.A restaurant varies the sweetness of its food. C.A restaurant uses heavier plates to serve food. D.A restaurant asks its customers for suggestions. (c If you watch wolves,it's hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans.We can easily recognize the social structures in wolf packs.No wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as "alpha"males-to "wolf up,"as it were.The term alpha male implies a man who at every moment demonstrates that he's in control in the home and who away from home can become aggressive. This alpha male stereotype(個定印象)comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing. "The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,"the wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park,"is a quiet confidence,quiet self-assurance.” The point is,alpha males are not aggressive.There is an evolutionary logic to it. "Imagine two wolf packs,or two human tribes,"McIntyre said."Which is more likely to survive and reproduce:the one whose members are more cooperative,more sharing,less violent with one another,or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?" McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service.He rises early,uses radio telemetry to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member,then heads out with his spotting scope to observe the animals,keeping careful notes of their activities.In all that time,he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack's other members. This does not mean that alpha males are not tough when they need to be.One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number,21,became his name,was considered a"super wolf by the people who closely observed the arc of his life.He was fierce in defense of family and apparently never lost a fight with a rival pack.Yet within his own pack,one of his favorite things was to wrestle with little wolves and to pretend to lose. One year,a pup was a bit sickly.The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn't play with him.Once,after delivering food for the small pups,21 stood looking around for something.Soon he started wagging his tail.He'd been looking for the sickly little pup,and he went over just-to hang out with him for a while. Of all McIntyre's stories about the super wolf,that's his favorite.Strength impresses us.But kindness is what we remember best. 8/10 63.What do people usually think of"alpha males"? A.They are the group of wolves that resemble humans most. B.They are dominant not only at home but also away from home. C.They are fond of fighting ngainst pressure from opponents. D.They are a necessary part of humans'social structures. 64.MeIntyre is quoted in paragraph 5 in order to A.show alpha male wolves'characteristic helps their packs survive B.prove cooperative wolves are more likely to be alpha male wolves C.stress that being willing to share is what wolves have in common D.illustrate that an alpha male wolf is born to be tough and aggressive 65.After a wolf pack gets a prey ()what will an alpha male wolf most likely do? A.Compete with other pack members. B.Keep it in a place unknown to his pack. C.Wait until his pack has eaten and is full. D.Make sure that no pack member eats it alone. 66.It is 21 's that will leave McIntyre and the writer a lasting impression. A.attack B.defense C.strength D.kindness Section C (8%) Directions:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.Keep an eye on your storage media. B.Organisation makes it easy to find your stuff later. C.Write down where you have important files. D.Would you care if this was deleted tomorrow? E.Remember something is better than nothing. F.Preserve your digital memories now,before it's too late. How to Keep Your Digital Memories Safe? Do you value your digital stuff?Nearly everyone is creating things with computers,and some do it without any concern for its value.Others recognise its current value,but think little about what it could mean to them in the future,and either isn't aware or doesn't think that all of it could be destroyed tomorrow.But hard drives die all the time,and the online services into which people sink their time close with alarming regularity,taking the work of millions of people with it. 67 Here are the steps: 1.Prepare to make a quick backup. If nothing else,get a cheap USB stick and drag-and-drop your documents folder onto it. Worry about the other things later.You should do more than this,but it's most important to take the most valuable,irreplaceable information from your hard drive and put it on a second medium to guard against hard drive failure,theft or loss. 2.Decide what you value. Some questions to ask yourself are:How replaceable is this data?How good are you at assessing the value of items?68 For things like business accounts and documents,the answer is of course you would.This kind of thing should be your first priority. 9/10 3.Start making backups. _9 Diminishing returns(效益递a减)apply in backups as they do with everything else. The cheapest and simplest backup methods take care of an overwhelming majority of likely loss-of-stuff.Over-complicating your backup strategy is the biggest trap:the more complicated and expensive you insist on making it,the less likely you are to do it. 4.70 If one of your backup drives fails,replace it immediately.Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolcte ()If you have valuable files on obsolete media,those files become increasingly difficult to access with every passing year.So in order to keep your files accessible,remember to migrate your collection to new storage media periodically. 第Ⅱ卷 (共20分) Scction A(3%) Directions:Complete the sentences with words related to those given in the brackets. 71.The of an efficient and sustainable transport system is critical.(create) 72.Moreover,lmy」 of knowledge of foreign languages even held me back.(short) 73.It's definitely wrong to take advantage of others' to reach your expected goal.
