In such works, people live their daily lives during a certain period in history but magical things happen to them. Garcia Marquez’s works tell unusual stories such as a child born with a pig’s tail and a couple that finds an old man with big wings in their courtyard (庭院). He said his grandmother often told him stories that inspired him to write his own. “She told things that sounded supernatural and fantastic, but she told them with complete naturalness,” he said in a 1981 interview.

But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It’s not just you—recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time. For many of us, stress from work, home and family makes us feel like we don’t have enough time. Time poverty (缺乏) has become more serious as digital technologies develop. Lasting connectivity extends working hours and can make it difficult to switch off from the demands of friends and family. Recent research suggests that the way to solve time poverty may lie in the natural world. Psychologist Richardo Correia, at the University of Turku in Finland, found that being in nature may change how we experience time and, perhaps, even give us the sense of time abundance (充裕). Correia examined research which compared people’s experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in urban (城市的) and natural environments. These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of having more time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment. For example, people are more likely to think a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city. Similarly, people report perceiving time as passing more slowly while doing tasks in natural green environments than in urban environments. Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time. It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed by the natural world, it’s also our sense of the past and future. Previous research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus (关注) from the immediate moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the needs of our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. Why does nature affect our sense of time? The way we experience time is shaped by our internal biological state and the events going on in the world around us. As a result, emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear can distort our sense of the passage of time. The relaxing effect of natural environments may reduce stress and anxiety, resulting in a more stable experience of time. 31. What does the underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Require. B. Connect. C. Control. D. Represent. 32. What makes time poverty more serious? A. The natural world. B. Digital technologies. C. People’s sense of time. D. Stress from work and home. 33. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 5? A. Nature changes the tasks we are doing. B. A walk in the countryside takes more time. C. Time seems to pass more quickly in nature. D. People have a sense of having more time in nature. 34. How does nature influence our focus? A. It helps us focus on our future needs. B. It draws a bigger picture in front of us. C. It prevents us from doing present tasks. D. It keeps us thinking about the needs of time. 35. What does the writer want to tell us through the article? A. People manage time better while doing tasks. B. The best way to solve problems lies in nature. C. Nature has a good influence on our sense of time. D. Time management depends on how we shape the world. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲了研究表明，自然环境能减缓人们对时间的感知，让人感觉时间充裕，并帮助人们关注未来需求，缓解压力。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It’s not just you—recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time.”可知，研究表明大自然可以调节我们的时间感，regulate意为“控制”。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Time poverty has become more serious as digital technologies develop”可知，随着数字技术的发展，时间贫困变得更加严重。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“people report perceiving time as passing more slowly while doing tasks in natural green environments than in urban environments”可知，人们在自然环境中感知时间过得更慢，因此在大自然中有更多时间的感觉。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“spending time in nature helps to move our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs”可知，花时间在大自然中有助于将我们的注意力从眼前转移到未来的需求上。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是“nature can regulate our sense of time”及“The relaxing effect of natural environments may reduce stress and anxiety, resulting in a more stable experience of time.”可知，文章主要讲述了大自然对我们时间感的积极影响。故选C。 D Research recently published in the magazine Science studied land subsidence (地面沉降) in China’s major cities, raising people’s worries about land sinking in the country. However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” He told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic (经济的) development, the rate (速度) of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major (主要的) Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper. 36. Which of the opinions does Hu Xie agree on? A. The sinking of certain areas matters most. B. Every city has areas of sinking and uplift. C. People needn't worry too much about the sinking. D. Human activities have nothing to do with the sinking. 37. We can infer when an area’s economy develops fast, the rate of land subsidence may ________. A. get slower B. get higher C. not be predictable D. not be influenced 38. What does the South-to-North Water Diversion Project help with? A. Preventing flooding. B. Building high buildings. C. Reducing water pollution. D. Taking out less groundwater. 39. What action has Shanghai taken to slow down land subsidence? A. Asking volunteers for help. B. Using water from southern cities. C. Encouraging people to save water. D. Improving the water supply system. 40. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B. To discuss land subsidence and practical actions. C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D. To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了地面沉降的原因及其应对措施。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. ‘Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),’ He told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking.”可知，胡认为不是城市中某些区域的下沉并不意味着整个城市正在下沉。故而推测出他认为人们不必太担心沉没。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s.”可知，通过列举美国加利福尼亚州圣何塞和日本经济快速发展时，有些地区的下沉会更高，故而推测出经济快速发展时，地面沉降的速度可能会更高。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country's northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped.”可知，南水北调工程帮助减少地下水的抽取。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper.”可知，上海通过改善供水系统来减缓地面沉降。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了地面沉降的原因及其应对措施。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (共50分) 四、填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答卷纸上标号为41——45的相应位置上。 41.

Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. AI can invent recipes based on what a kitchen has. More advanced ideas are in development to AI kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first ones to use AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, changing how homes and society work. The benefits (好处) of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as cutting potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes as needed. However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be reduced if the human part becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might change for the worse without the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example,AI could mess up traditional recipes (菜谱) and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less different dishes. Depending too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to a sameness in taste. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disorder that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. — Patrick Lin, professor of philosophy, California Polytechnic State University, US AI technologies in ____56____ Introduction AI kitchens can cook food and invent dishes.

He was a beloved writer and Nobel prize winner. On that date, Netflix shared their look at One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》), a TV series based on Marquez’s masterpiece novel of the same name. Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude. It’s about the ups and downs of one family over several generations. It has sold about 50 million copies in more than 40 languages. He wrote in a style called magical realism (魔幻现实主义). This style mixes both fantasy (幻想) and reality together. In such works, people live their daily lives during a certain period in history but magical things happen to them. Garcia Marquez’s works tell unusual stories such as a child born with a pig’s tail and a couple that finds an old man with big wings in their courtyard (庭院). He said his grandmother often told him stories that inspired him to write his own. “She told things that sounded supernatural and fantastic, but she told them with complete naturalness,” he said in a 1981 interview. But his works are not just for fun. They open a window into the everyday life and the political realities (政治现实) of Latin America. 28. Which description about Marquez is true? A. He passed away on April 17, 2014. B. He is famous for political realism writing. C. His birthplace was Mexico but lived in Colombia D. His best-known novel was written in 40 languages. 29. Which of the following can be called magical realism? A. People’s daily lives during the Qing dynasty. B. A candle taking a girl to any place when lit up. C. Political realities of a poor country in the 21st century. D. A grandma telling stories to children every night before sleep. 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Marquez’s life and works B. To explain the writing style of magical realism. C. To introduce the history and culture of Latin America. D. To introduce the TV series One Hundred Years of Solitude. C Do you ever get that feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day? But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It’s not just you—recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time. For many of us, stress from work, home and family makes us feel like we don’t have enough time. Time poverty (缺乏) has become more serious as digital technologies develop. Lasting connectivity extends working hours and can make it difficult to switch off from the demands of friends and family. Recent research suggests that the way to solve time poverty may lie in the natural world. Psychologist Richardo Correia, at the University of Turku in Finland, found that being in nature may change how we experience time and, perhaps, even give us the sense of time abundance (充裕). Correia examined research which compared people’s experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in urban (城市的) and natural environments. These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of having more time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment. For example, people are more likely to think a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city. Similarly, people report perceiving time as passing more slowly while doing tasks in natural green environments than in urban environments. Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time. It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed by the natural world, it’s also our sense of the past and future. Previous research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus (关注) from the immediate moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the needs of our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. Why does nature affect our sense of time? The way we experience time is shaped by our internal biological state and the events going on in the world around us. As a result, emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear can distort our sense of the passage of time. The relaxing effect of natural environments may reduce stress and anxiety, resulting in a more stable experience of time. 31. What does the underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Require. B. Connect. C. Control. D. Represent. 32. What makes time poverty more serious? A. The natural world. B. Digital technologies. C. People’s sense of time. D. Stress from work and home. 33. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 5? A. Nature changes the tasks we are doing. B. A walk in the countryside takes more time. C. Time seems to pass more quickly in nature. D. People have a sense of having more time in nature. 34. How does nature influence our focus? A. It helps us focus on our future needs. B. It draws a bigger picture in front of us. C. It prevents us from doing present tasks. D. It keeps us thinking about the needs of time. 35. What does the writer want to tell us through the article? A. People manage time better while doing tasks. B. The best way to solve problems lies in nature. C. Nature has a good influence on our sense of time. D. Time management depends on how we shape the world. D Research recently published in the magazine Science studied land subsidence (地面沉降) in China’s major cities, raising people’s worries about land sinking in the country. However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” He told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic (经济的) development, the rate (速度) of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major (主要的) Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper. 36. Which of the opinions does Hu Xie agree on? A. The sinking of certain areas matters most. B. Every city has areas of sinking and uplift. C. People needn't worry too much about the sinking. D. Human activities have nothing to do with the sinking. 37. We can infer when an area’s economy develops fast, the rate of land subsidence may ________. A. get slower B. get higher C. not be predictable D. not be influenced 38. What does the South-to-North Water Diversion Project help with? A. Preventing flooding. B. Building high buildings. C. Reducing water pollution. D. Taking out less groundwater. 39. What action has Shanghai taken to slow down land subsidence? A. Asking volunteers for help. B. Using water from southern cities. C. Encouraging people to save water. D. Improving the water supply system. 40. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B. To discuss land subsidence and practical actions. C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D. To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (共50分) 四、填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答卷纸上标号为41——45的相应位置上。 41.

The benefits (好处) of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as cutting potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes as needed. However, there are risks to human well-being.

Family relationships might change for the worse without the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example,AI could mess up traditional recipes (菜谱) and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less different dishes. Depending too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to a sameness in taste. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disorder that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. — Patrick Lin, professor of philosophy, California Polytechnic State University, US AI technologies in ____56____ Introduction AI kitchens can cook food and invent dishes.
