Like many of us Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Nair were two friends separated from each other by the pandemic (流行病).
They live in Paris and are both poets. Before the pandemic, they spent lots of time on the road. Hacker was meant to be teaching in Lebanon and had to return home suddenly when the cases stared rising. And Nair, who is a dancer and usually on tour, was diagnosed with breast cancer just as France announced a lockdown (封锁).
“I had gone through chemotherapy (化疗) myself some years ago, so it was not an experience that was entirely strange to me,” Hacker says, adding that they both also live alone. “I wanted to reach out and connect with somebody with whom I had something in common.”
The two poets wrote a book together, out this month, called A Different Distance. It includes almost daily poems from March 2020 to March 2021. Hacker says she approached Nair with the idea of writing the book. As the poets responded to each other through poetry over email, Nair says, the project strengthened her friendship with Hacker. “I was afraid of my brain shutting down because chemotherapy was very heavy on me, and the possibility of maintaining a creative teamwork was just so precious.”
Normally, Hacker would like to accompany Nair to her hospital appointments and take her to lunch afterward, but under lockdown, they had to settle for meeting each other online. The poetry details not only of Nair’s illness but of what the poets were eating, reading, or listening to when isolated (隔离). They write of friends and family they lost along the year, and news they were hearing about across the world.
And as a time capsule for the pandemic, A Different Distance shows how healing it can be to hold each other close in times of distress.
4. What do Hacker and Nair have in common?
A. They lived with families in Paris, France. B. They were not influenced by the pandemic.
C. They were capable of writing poems. D. They felt great for the separation.
5. What can we learn about Hacker during the pandemic?
A. She didn’t go through chemotherapy before. B. She refused to accompany Nair to hospital.
C. She was diagnosed, with breast cancer. D. She wanted to contact with friends.
6. What does the underlined word “distress” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Happiness. B. Sadness. C. Encouragement. D. Loneliness.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Two Excellent Poets: Hacker and Nair
B A Book Introduction: A Different Distance
C. How to Properly Deal with Pandemic and Cancer
D. Poets’ Friendship and Loneliness During the Pandemic
C
Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it.
However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days.
I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice!
The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold.
When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule.
For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring.
I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it.
8. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A moving story.
C. A travel guide. D. A diary.
9. How did the author first hear of the book?
A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book.
C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview.
10. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate?
A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields.
C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way.
11. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book?
A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation.
C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences.
D
A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items.
Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels.
Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to. the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson.
While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is.
“An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.”
12. What’s the aim of the new study?
A. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants.
B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices.
C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems.
D. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of the study. B. The results of the study.
C. The importance of the study. D. The influence of the study.
14. What potential effect could climate labels cause?
A. They may cause confusion among consumers.
B. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is.
C. They might result in people consuming more red meat.
D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices.
15. What is Wolfson’s attitude towards climate impact labels on food?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Cautious.

Language Learner Habits to Avoid
Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.
Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning.______16______ Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.
Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. ______17______ You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!
______18______ We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.
Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” _______19_______ And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.
If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. _______20_______
A. Giving in to laziness.
B. Learning to get rid of laziness.
C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.
D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.
E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.
F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.
G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.

Like many of us, Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Nair were two friends separated from each other by the pandemic (流行病).
They live in Paris and are both poets. Before the pandemic, they spent lots of time on the road. Hacker was meant to be teaching in Lebanon and had to return home suddenly when the cases stared rising. And Nair, who is a dancer and usually on tour, was diagnosed with breast cancer just as France announced a lockdown (封锁).
“I had gone through chemotherapy (化疗) myself some years ago, so it was not an experience that was entirely strange to me,” Hacker says, adding that they both also live alone. “I wanted to reach out and connect with somebody with whom I had something in common.”
The two poets wrote a book together, out this month, called A Different Distance. It includes almost daily poems from March 2020 to March 2021. Hacker says she approached Nair with the idea of writing the book. As the poets responded to each other through poetry over email, Nair says, the project strengthened her friendship with Hacker. “I was afraid of my brain shutting down because chemotherapy was very heavy on me, and the possibility of maintaining a creative teamwork was just so precious.”
Normally, Hacker would like to accompany Nair to her hospital appointments and take her to lunch afterward, but under lockdown, they had to settle for meeting each other online. The poetry details not only of Nair’s illness but of what the poets were eating, reading, or listening to when isolated (隔离). They write of friends and family they lost along the year, and news they were hearing about across the world.
And as a time capsule for the pandemic, A Different Distance shows how healing it can be to hold each other close in times of distress.
4. What do Hacker and Nair have in common?
A. They lived with families in Paris, France. B. They were not influenced by the pandemic.
C. They were capable of writing poems. D. They felt great for the separation.
5. What can we learn about Hacker during the pandemic?
A. She didn’t go through chemotherapy before. B. She refused to accompany Nair to hospital.
C. She was diagnosed, with breast cancer. D. She wanted to contact with friends.
6. What does the underlined word “distress” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Happiness. B. Sadness. C. Encouragement. D. Loneliness.

A. Two Excellent Poets: Hacker and Nair

Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it.
However, there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days.
I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice!
The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold.
When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule.
For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring.
I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it.
8. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A moving story.
C. A travel guide. D. A diary.
9. How did the author first hear of the book?
A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book.
C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview.
10. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate?
A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields.
C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way.
11. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book?
A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation.
C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C

A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items.
Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels.
Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to. the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson.
While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is.
“An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.”
12. What’s the aim of the new study?
A. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants.
B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices.
C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems.
D. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of the study. B. The results of the study.
C. The importance of the study. D. The influence of the study.
14. What potential effect could climate labels cause?
A. They may cause confusion among consumers.
B. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is.
C. They might result in people consuming more red meat.
D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices.
15. What is Wolfson’s attitude towards climate impact labels on food?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Cautious.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Language Learner Habits to Avoid
Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.
Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning.______16______ Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.
Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. ______17______ You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!
______18______ We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.
Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” _______19_______ And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.
If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. _______20_______
A. Giving in to laziness.
B. Learning to get rid of laziness.
C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.
D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.
E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.
F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.
G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言学习者要避免的几个语言学习习惯,比如总是分心、只是说说而已以及轻易放弃等。
【16题详解】
根据段落主题句“Always being distracted.(总是分心)”可知,该段的主要内容与“分心”有关。空处上一句“Presence is of fundamental importance in learning.(专注对学习至关重要)”介绍“不分心”对学习的重要性,空处下一句“Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.(学习不能弥补注意力的分散——没有什么可以)”也在强调没有什么可以弥补注意力的分散。因此设空处应该同样介绍注意力的重要性。分析选项内容可知,G项“心不在焉的话,你就不会注意到那些能帮助你进步的事情。”符合语境;G项中的that 指代上文中的Presence。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through.(只说不做。如果你不坚持到底,制定计划或谈论你要做什么就没有什么意义了)”以及后文“You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!(你需要言行一致。如果你只是说说而已,也许这与下面提到的其他习惯之一有关!)”本段主要介绍 “只说不做”这一不好的语言学习习惯。空前内容指出只有计划没有行动是没意义的,空后强调了行动的重要性。F项“行动才会产生结果,而不仅仅是靠言语或想法”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
空处为段落主旨句,应与其他段落的主旨句在形式上保持一致,同时在内容上应概括介绍一种不好的语言学习习惯。根据下文“We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner? Who gets lazy with things they love doing? Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.(如果我们做的事情不能激励我们,我们都会变得懒惰。谁在追求伴侣的时候会变得懒惰呢?谁会对自己喜欢做的事情偷懒呢?懒惰是需要改变的信号。强迫自己坚持只会持续很长时间,在它让位于更多的懒惰之前)”可知,本段主要介绍“懒惰”相关的内容。因此A项“屈服于懒惰”概括了本段主旨。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.”(放弃。托马斯·爱迪生曾经说过:“成功最可靠的方法就是再试一次。”)”空前内容提到Thomas Edison的有关成功的名言。E项“不尝试就永远不会成功——不论你如何定义它。”可以承接上文;succeed和Success是同根词复现。同时,E项中的(it) never comes与下文的it comes是对比的逻辑关系。故选E。
【20题详解】
空处上一句“If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices.(如果你正在做这些,我的建议是更仔细地看看你是否可以摆脱这些做法)”鼓励人们要摆脱上文中提到的不良习惯,D项“一旦你这样做了,你就会向着更好的方向前进。”承接上文内容(do指代上文的 to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices)。故选D。
