His first puzzle appeared in the New York World on December 21st,1913.
第二部分 阅读理解(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 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, terrific snow conditions, and large, well-developed resort areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.
Where to Ski as a Beginner
Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes (初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.
Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for families, with plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.
Summer Skiing
Incredible as it may seem, it’s actually possible to ski in Switzerland during the summer months thanks to the presence of several glaciers where it’s winter year-round. Zermatt is home to the Theodul glacier (冰川). With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here are beautifully scenic and offer skiers up-close views of the Matterhorn.
Budget Travel Tips
Avoid peak season: Visit during the start or end of the ski season.
Self-cater: If you rent a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can prepare some of your own meals to save dining expenses.
Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, tobogganing (乘坐平底雪橇), winter hiking, or just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.
21. What makes Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers?
A. Being the first winter tourist destination. B. Having the longest skiing tradition.
C. The support of skiers from the world. D. Superb natural conditions and accommodations.
22. Which group will be interested in Grindelwald?
A. Professional athletes. B. Summer skiers.
C. Family tourists. D. Budget travelers.
23. Where will skiers go for summer skiing?
A. Saas-Fee. B. Bodmi. C. Zermatt. D. Matterhorn.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. C
【解析】

B
Before the pandemic,my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those valuable moments were gradually disappearing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to understand me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so weak. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution.“It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues (色调) and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends,” she remarks now. “You were my mother, and I a child following you around.” Life has indeed come full circle.
24. What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore?
A. The very fact of being a fearless woman herself.
B. The short cherished moments before the pandemic.
C. The desire to restore relationship with her children.
D. The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
25. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Our relationship suffered due to geographic distance.
B. My bond with Mum weakened after I went to the university.
C. I was overwhelmed with Mum's love before university.
D. Moments with Mum was painful during the holidays.
26. How did Mum react to the Bruges Whale?
A. She showed a great interest in this work of art.
B. She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
C. She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
D. She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
27. What is probably the main idea of the text?
A. A visit to Art Science Museum rebuilt my bond with Mum.
B. A journey to Singapore rid Mum of her fear on flights.
C. A sketching activity revealed Mum’s long-lost innocence.
D. An attempt dug into likely causes for the fading relationship.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一次去艺术科学博物馆的参观如何帮助作者与母亲重建了她们的温馨关系。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。从文章第一段中的“Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together out declining bond. (可能唯一能说服她克服恐惧的事情就是有机会修复我们日渐衰弱的关系)”可知,妈妈接受去新加坡参观的原因是想要恢复与孩子们的关系。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Those valuable moments were gradually disappearing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense.(随着我去外地上大学,那些宝贵的时光逐渐消失了。很快,我们的关系变得紧张。)”可知,我和妈妈的关系在我上了大学之后变得紧张,关系变弱。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段中的“However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution.(然而,当她对布鲁日鲸鱼这个用塑料垃圾制作的雕塑嗤之以鼻时,我很惊讶。这个雕塑是用来提高人们对海洋污染的认识的。)”可推知,妈妈对布鲁日鲸鱼的反应是她认为它不够好,不应该被展出。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,文章讲述了通过一次新加坡之旅中的艺术科学博物馆参观经历,作者与母亲的关系得到了修复。从文章倒数第四段中的“As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues(色调) and shades of something sincere and beautiful.(随着我们创意的涌流,我们褪色的关系开始呈现出真诚和美丽的色彩和色调。)”也可以看出来。因此,文章的主题思想是艺术科学博物馆的参观重建了我和母亲之间的联系。故选A项。
C
Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disturb activities that positively impact mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not record how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, very frequent social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important difference,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The report of the statement.
C. The functions of social media. D. The findings of the research.
29. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A. The proper way to improve mental health.
B. The need to fight against mental harm.
C The benefit of limiting social media use.
D. The impact of social media use on people.
30. What can we know about the research?
A. It was the first in its class. B. It needed more attention.
C. It had shortcomings. D. It was difficult to carry out.
31. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage girls
B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. Social interactions are encouraged
D. The harm of using social media
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要讲的是研究表明,频繁地使用社交媒体会给青少年造成心理危害,尤其对女孩的危害更加明显。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disturb activities that positively impact mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.(这项研究采访了英国的1万名青少年。“我们的研究结果表明,社交媒体本身并不会造成伤害,但频繁使用社交媒体可能会干扰睡眠和锻炼等对心理健康有积极影响的活动,同时增加年轻人接触有害内容的机会,尤其是网络欺凌,”研究报告的合著者Russell Viner在一份声明中说。)”可知,第二段主要介绍了这个研究的结果。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”(他说:“需要制定策略来增强对网络欺凌的适应能力,促进更好的睡眠和锻炼,以减少心理伤害。”)”可知,Bob Patton主要告诉了我们改善心理健康的正确方法。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The researchers noted that they did not record how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study.(研究人员指出,他们没有记录参与者在这些网站上花了多少时间,这是研究的一个局限性。)”可知,这个研究的局限在于它没有监测参与者上网的时间,故可推知这个研究是有不足之处的。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.(社交媒体的使用与抑郁症有关,尤其是在十几岁的女孩中。但一项新的研究认为,这个问题可能比专家们想象的要复杂得多。)”可知,文章主要介绍了频繁地使用社交媒体尤其会给女孩造成心理危害,因此最好的题目是B选项“Social media use influences girls especially(社交媒体的使用对女孩的影响尤其大)”。故选B。
D
Every autumn, polar bears living along the edge of the Canada’s Western Hudson Bay pass through the sub-Arctic town of Churchill, Manitoba. The yearly movement has helped make the area’s bears one of the most studied groups in the world. Bear-watching adds about $5.3 million to the local economy each year. But a new report suggests Hudson Bay polar bear population has dropped 27 percent during the past five years, with just 618 remaining in the area in 2021.
Polar bears depend on frozen salt water, called sea ice, to help them hunt seals for food. But the Arctic is now warming about four times faster than the rest of the world. Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting earlier in the spring, and forming later in the fall. This is forcing bears to go longer periods without food.
John Whiteman chief research scientist at the nonprofit conservation group Polar Bears International, called the population drop “totally shocking”, and said, “If continued sea ice loss cannot be stopped, it will one day lead to a total loss of the area’s polar bear population. Climate-caused changes affecting the local sea population might also be driving polar bear numbers down. If worldwide carbon emissions (排放) are not heavily reduced, most of the world’s polar bear populations are in danger of collapsing by 2100.”
The number of deaths in young bears and female bears in Western Hudson Bay is worrisome. “Being one of the southernmost populations, those Western Hudson Bay are the types of bears we’ve always predicted would be affected by changes in the environment,” said Stephen Atkinson, a lead writer of the government report who has studied polar bear populations for more than 30 years. Young bears need energy to grow and cannot survive long periods without enough food. Female bears struggle because they use up a lot of energy searching for food while caring for young bears. “The ability of polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay to reproduce will decrease, because fewer young bears survive and become adults,” said Atkinson.
32. Why does the writer mention the yearly movement of Hudson Bay polar bears in the first paragraph?
A. To explain a point. B. To present a fact.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce the topic.
33. What might have caused the shocking drop in Hudson Bay polar bear population?
A. Less access to food. B. Longer season of sea ice.
C. Stable local sea population. D. Reduced carbon emissions.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Polar bears’ ability to reproduce will be improved.
B. Fewer young and female bears survive than adult males.
C. Female bears’ poor hunting skills endanger their survival.
D. Both young and female polar bears suffer from lack of food.
35. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of Hudson Bay polar bears?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哈德逊湾的北极熊数量近年急剧下降,并解释了造成这个现象的原因,表达了相关人员对此的担忧。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But a new report suggests Hudson Bay polar bear population has dropped 27 percent during the past five years, with just 618 remaining in the area in 2021.”(但一份新的报告显示,在过去的五年里,哈德逊湾北极熊的数量下降了27%,到2021年,该地区只剩下618只。)可知,根据哈德逊湾北极熊每年的迁徙活动来看,其数量正在下降。由此可推断,作者在第一段提及这一点是为了引出本文的话题——哈德逊湾的北极熊数量近年急剧下降,形势很严峻。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting earlier in the spring, and forming later in the fall. This is forcing bears to go longer periods without food.”(在哈德逊湾周围,季节性海冰在春天融化得更早,在秋天形成得更晚。这迫使熊很长时间没有食物。)可知,北极熊依赖海冰捕食,但由于气候变暖,冰期缩短,减少了它们捕获食物的途径,因此它们的数量会下降。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Young bears need energy to grow and cannot survive long periods without enough food. Female bears struggle because they use up a lot of energy searching for food while caring for young bears.”(幼熊需要能量才能成长,如果没有足够的食物,它们无法长时间生存。母熊很艰难,因为它们在照顾幼熊的同时寻找食物,消耗了大量的能量。)可知,幼熊和母熊都饱受食物短缺之苦。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The number of deaths in young bears and female bears in Western Hudson Bay is worrisome.”(西哈德逊湾幼熊和母熊的死亡数量令人担忧。)和“The ability of polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay to reproduce will decrease, because fewer young bears survive and become adults”(西哈德逊湾北极熊的繁殖能力将会下降,因为很少有幼熊存活下来并成为成年熊)可知,哈德逊湾的北极熊种群中幼熊和母熊数量急剧减少,繁殖能力会下降。由此推知,作者很担心哈德逊湾的北极熊种群的未来。故选C项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital.
When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge to cry out.
She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother.
From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us.
After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:

My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. As she was unable to walk, we had to transport her around in a wheel chair. I started helping my mother with her daily activities. Everyday I was there with her, helping her practice walking, smiling and encouraging her to move on. I even enrolled her in a special online diary program, recording her recovery progress, and this made her happy. For months her recovery was seen slow but sure, and eventually she was able to give up wheel chair and walk fully again.
My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. She had gone from the brink of death, with the damage to her legs so severe, to a full recovery. This difficult period taught me about courage, determination and the strength of the human spirit. My mother may be more fragile and weaker than before, but she refused to be frustrated and keep on being a determined mother model that she always presented whenever I was at home. To me, my mother will always be my source of love and faith in the future.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, terrific snow conditions, and large, well-developed resort areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.
Where to Ski as a Beginner
Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes (初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.
Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for families, with plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.
Summer Skiing
Incredible as it may seem, it’s actually possible to ski in Switzerland during the summer months thanks to the presence of several glaciers where it’s winter year-round. Zermatt is home to the Theodul glacier (冰川). With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here are beautifully scenic and offer skiers up-close views of the Matterhorn.
Budget Travel Tips
Avoid peak season: Visit during the start or end of the ski season.
Self-cater: If you rent a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can prepare some of your own meals to save dining expenses.
Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, tobogganing (乘坐平底雪橇), winter hiking, or just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.
21. What makes Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers?
A. Being the first winter tourist destination. B. Having the longest skiing tradition.
C. The support of skiers from the world. D. Superb natural conditions and accommodations.
22. Which group will be interested in Grindelwald?
A. Professional athletes. B. Summer skiers.
C. Family tourists. D. Budget travelers.
23. Where will skiers go for summer skiing?
A. Saas-Fee. B. Bodmi. C. Zermatt. D. Matterhorn.
B
Before the pandemic,my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those valuable moments were gradually disappearing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to understand me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so weak. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution.“It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues (色调) and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends,” she remarks now. “You were my mother, and I a child following you around.” Life has indeed come full circle.
24. What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore?
A. The very fact of being a fearless woman herself.
B. The short cherished moments before the pandemic.
C. The desire to restore relationship with her children.
D. The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
25. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Our relationship suffered due to geographic distance.
B. My bond with Mum weakened after I went to the university.
C. I was overwhelmed with Mum's love before university.
D. Moments with Mum was painful during the holidays.
26. How did Mum react to the Bruges Whale?
A. She showed a great interest in this work of art.
B. She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
C. She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
D. She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
27. What is probably the main idea of the text?
A. A visit to Art Science Museum rebuilt my bond with Mum.
B. A journey to Singapore rid Mum of her fear on flights.
C. A sketching activity revealed Mum’s long-lost innocence.
D. An attempt dug into likely causes for the fading relationship.
C
Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenage girls. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “Our results suggest social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disturb activities that positively impact mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not record how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, very frequent social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important difference,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The report of the statement.
C The functions of social media. D. The findings of the research.
29. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A The proper way to improve mental health.
B. The need to fight against mental harm.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use.
D. The impact of social media use on people.
30. What can we know about the research?
A. It was the first in its class. B. It needed more attention.
C. It had shortcomings. D. It was difficult to carry out.
31. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage girls
B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. Social interactions are encouraged
D. The harm of using social media
D
Every autumn, polar bears living along the edge of the Canada’s Western Hudson Bay pass through the sub-Arctic town of Churchill, Manitoba. The yearly movement has helped make the area’s bears one of the most studied groups in the world. Bear-watching adds about $5.3 million to the local economy each year. But a new report suggests Hudson Bay polar bear population has dropped 27 percent during the past five years, with just 618 remaining in the area in 2021.
Polar bears depend on frozen salt water, called sea ice, to help them hunt seals for food. But the Arctic is now warming about four times faster than the rest of the world. Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting earlier in the spring, and forming later in the fall. This is forcing bears to go longer periods without food.
John Whiteman, chief research scientist at the nonprofit conservation group Polar Bears International, called the population drop “totally shocking”, and said, “If continued sea ice loss cannot be stopped, it will one day lead to a total loss of the area’s polar bear population. Climate-caused changes affecting the local sea population might also be driving polar bear numbers down. If worldwide carbon emissions (排放) are not heavily reduced, most of the world’s polar bear populations are in danger of collapsing by 2100.”
The number of deaths in young bears and female bears in Western Hudson Bay is worrisome. “Being one of the southernmost populations, those Western Hudson Bay are the types of bears we’ve always predicted would be affected by changes in the environment,” said Stephen Atkinson, a lead writer of the government report who has studied polar bear populations for more than 30 years. Young bears need energy to grow and cannot survive long periods without enough food. Female bears struggle because they use up a lot of energy searching for food while caring for young bears. “The ability of polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay to reproduce will decrease, because fewer young bears survive and become adults,” said Atkinson.
32. Why does the writer mention the yearly movement of Hudson Bay polar bears in the first paragraph?
A. To explain a point. B. To present a fact.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce the topic.
33. What might have caused the shocking drop in Hudson Bay polar bear population?
A. Less access to food. B. Longer season of sea ice.
C. Stable local sea population. D. Reduced carbon emissions.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Polar bears’ ability to reproduce will be improved.
B. Fewer young and female bears survive than adult males.
C. Female bears’ poor hunting skills endanger their survival.
D. Both young and female polar bears suffer from lack of food.
35. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of Hudson Bay polar bears?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic.

It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital.
When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge to cry out.
She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother.
From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us.
After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home.
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。
My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me.

My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship.
