Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic (流行病) might help her sort out her feelings. In April 2020, the mother of two in Montclair, New Jersey, now 46, started writing about the challenges of work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis. She invited women from near and far to fill the notebook with their own pandemic tales.She named the project The Traveling Diary.
Peralte created a website for people to add their names to the queue. Each person gets to keep the diary for three days and fill as many pages as she wishes. Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person, whose address Peralte provides. So far, more than 2, 000 women from 30 countries have joined in.
The diary reached Colleen Martin in Florham Park, New Jersey, in November 2020. “I had just recently lost my brother. By the time I actually got it and wrote in it, it was much more of a relief,” she says. Adding to the diary, she says, helped her look for meaning and “the growth and development that occurs in terrible times.”
Martin shipped off the diary to the next person, and Dior Sarr, 35, received it at her home in Toronto just before the new year. “I wrote about my ambitions(抱负), my goals and how I wanted to step into the new year, ” she says, “It felt meaningful to pass on something so personal. It felt like these were women that I had known even though I didn’t know them at all.”
Like many of the women who wrote in her diary, Peralte feels a strong bond with the people who filled its pages, none of whom she would have otherwise known. Her idea, Peralte says, has had a great effect on her and, she hopes, the other women who were part of it.
14. Why did Peralte start the project “The Traveling Diary”?
A. To become famous online.
B. To offer women an emotion outlet.
C. To meet more people on the Internet.
D. To popularize medical knowledge of pandemic.
15. What did Colleen Martin get from writing the diary?
A. Achieving her goals.
B. Receiving timely help.
C. Promoting personal growth.
D. Improving her writing skills.
16. What does the underlined word“bond” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Connection. B. Competition.
C. Impression. D. Need.
17. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Unity
B Warmth in a Global Crisis
C. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Diary
D. Friendship on the Internet

Have you ever heard of the classic Marshmallow (棉花糖) Test? It’s a fun experiment where kids are given a marshmallow and told that they can eat it now or wait a bit and get two marshmallows later. Some kids eat the marshmallow right away, while others struggle to wait for the two marshmallows.
Interestingly, when the researchers followed up with those kids later in life, they found that those who waited longer for the two marshmallows would perform better in school, and even have better health. This made people think that waiting is a sign of self-control.
But a new study in 2022 by scientists raised an interesting question: is this behavior really about self-control, or is it about the culture we grow up in? In the United States, people usually don’t wait for everyone to be served before they start eating. In Japan, however, there is a tradition of waiting until everyone is served. This cultural difference led researchers to wonder if Japanese kids would wait longer in the marshmallow test compared to American kids. Surprisingly, the study found that Japanese kids did wait longer — about 15 minutes on average, while American kids waited for about 5 minutes.
Then, the researchers did another follow-up experiment. They looked at a different situation: opening gifts. In the United States, gifts are often saved for special events like birthdays and Christmas, when kids have to wait to open their gifts. In Japan, gifts are given more often, and kids usually open them right away. This is a powerful result because it shows the importance of culture and habit in shaping the way how children act.
So, whether you can wait for that second marshmallow might not just be about self-control — it could be about the culture you’re part of!
18. Why do some kids wait longer in the classic Marshmallow Test?
A. They live healthier lives.
B. They have better self-control.
C. They are afraid of being punished.
D. They have no interest in marshmallows
19. What aspect of cultural difference is discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Eating habits. B. Education systems.
C. Body Languages. D. Family structures.
20. What can be inferred from the experiment with opening gifts?
A. American children are better at opening gifts.
B. Self-control is important for children’s growth.
C. Gift-giving habits influence children’s conduct.
D. Japanese kids are more patient than American kids.
21. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gift-giving Traditions in Western Countries
B. Marshmallows and Kids: A Fun Experiment
C. Marshmallows, Patience and the World around Us
D. Cultural Influence on Children’s Willingness to Wait
D
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
22. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
23. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
24. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
25. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.

第Ⅰ卷【选择题】
第一部分 语法单项选择(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
1. Which one of the following sentences uses the sentence structure of “主+谓+宾+状”?
A. I find it impossible to finish the task in time. B. They are talking about the film at the meeting.
C. We have realized the importance of English. D. I will tell my friends to protect the trees
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意:A.我发现按时完成任务是不可能的。B.他们在会上讨论那部电影。C.我们已经认识到英语的重要性。D.我会告诉我的朋友保护树木。分析句子结构可知,A选项中为“主+谓+形宾+宾补+真宾”;B选项为“主+谓+宾+状语”;C选项为“主+谓+宾”;D选项“主+谓+宾+宾补”。综上可知,符合题目“下面哪个句子使用了“主+谓+宾+状”的句子结构?”的应该为B选项。故选B项。
2. “Speak more, and you will improve your spoken English.” The type of the sentence is _________.
A. 简单句 B. 复合句 C. 并列句 D. 感叹句
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意:多说,你的英语口语就会提高。本句为“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构,属于and连接的并列句。故选C。
3. What kind of phrase does the underlined one belong to?
“The wedding ceremony was very impressive with a lot of flowers. ”
A. AdjP B. NP C. AdvP D. PrepP
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分。句意:带下划线的短语属于哪种短语?“婚礼上鲜花盛开,令人印象深刻。”A. AdjP形容词短语;B. NP名词短语;C. AdvP副词短语;D. PrepP介词短语。impressive是形容词,very作副词修饰impressive,be impressive with...是固定搭配,所以这里是形容词短语作表语。故选A。
4. — Mr. Simpson _________ Shanghai in a few days. Shall we have a party?
— I _________ a farewell party if I _________ free.
A. leaves; will throw; am B. is leaving; will throw; am
C. is to leave; will throw; will be D. has left; am going to throw; will be
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——辛普森先生几天后就要离开上海了。我们开个派对好吗?——如果我有空,我会举办一个告别派对。根据第一空后的时间状语in a few days可知,这里表示将来,应用一般将来时,动词leave为瞬间动词,可用现在进行时表示将来,所以第一空填is leaving。答句是含有if条件状语从句的主从复合句,结合前面句子可知,这里表示将来,从句用一般现在时表示将来,主句用一般将来时,即“will+动词原形”的形式。综上,选B。
5. It is required that a note book ______ within easy reach in case you have something important to take down during the class.
A. is put B. be put C. was put D. put
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:要求把笔记本放在触手可及的地方,以防你在课堂上有重要的事情要记下来。本题考查固定句式It is required that...,表示“要求……”,that引导的主语从句中要用虚拟语气,即:should+动词原形,should 可以省略,在that从句中,主语a note book与动词put构成动宾关系,需用被动语态,故填should be put,should可以省略。故选B项。
6. Stephen Hawking believed that earth is unlikely to be the only planet ______ life has developed gradually.
A. that B. where C. why D. which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:斯蒂芬·霍金认为,地球不太可能是唯一一个生命逐渐发展的星球。这里考查定语从句,先行词为the only planet,在从句中作地点状语,所以应用关系副词where。故选B项。
7. Historic events inform us of past mistakes _________ we can learn something without repeating them.
A. for whom B. an which C. with whom D. from which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:历史事件告诉我们过去的错误,我们可以从中吸取教训,而不会重蹈覆辙。这里是“介词+关系词”引导的定语从句。learn sth. from sth.意为“从……中学习……”,所以应用介词from。先行词为指物的past mistakes,所以关系词应用which。故选D。
8. I’m very grateful to the boy _________ bright smile gave me so much pleasure.
A. whose B. which C. where D. when
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我非常感谢那个男孩,他灿烂的笑容给了我如此多的快乐。空处引导定语从句,修饰指人的先行词the boy,且作定语修饰bright smile,应用whose引导。故选A。
9. He is one of those people _________ everybody will find _________ hard to please.
A. that; being B. which; to be C. who; is D. whom; /
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:他是那种所有人都难以取悦的人之一。第一空引导定语从句,先行词为those people。在定语从句中,find sb.+adj.+to do...为固定句型,所以先行词在从句中作find的宾语,可用who或whom引导,第二空不填。把从句独立出来就是:Everybody will find those people hard to please. 故选D。
10. It was the reason _________ Dr. Johnson avoided discussing in his lecture _________ made the audience question his research design.

Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic (流行病) might help her sort out her feelings. In April 2020, the mother of two in Montclair, New Jersey, now 46, started writing about the challenges of work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis. She invited women from near and far to fill the notebook with their own pandemic tales.She named the project The Traveling Diary.
Peralte created a website for people to add their names to the queue. Each person gets to keep the diary for three days and fill as many pages as she wishes. Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person, whose address Peralte provides. So far, more than 2, 000 women from 30 countries have joined in.
The diary reached Colleen Martin in Florham Park, New Jersey, in November 2020. “I had just recently lost my brother. By the time I actually got it and wrote in it, it was much more of a relief,” she says. Adding to the diary, she says, helped her look for meaning and “the growth and development that occurs in terrible times.”
Martin shipped off the diary to the next person, and Dior Sarr, 35, received it at her home in Toronto just before the new year. “I wrote about my ambitions(抱负), my goals and how I wanted to step into the new year, ” she says, “It felt meaningful to pass on something so personal. It felt like these were women that I had known even though I didn’t know them at all.”
Like many of the women who wrote in her diary, Peralte feels a strong bond with the people who filled its pages, none of whom she would have otherwise known. Her idea, Peralte says, has had a great effect on her and, she hopes, the other women who were part of it.
14. Why did Peralte start the project “The Traveling Diary”?
A. To become famous online.
B. To offer women an emotion outlet.
C. To meet more people on the Internet.
D. To popularize medical knowledge of pandemic.
15. What did Colleen Martin get from writing the diary?
A. Achieving her goals.
B. Receiving timely help.
C. Promoting personal growth.
D. Improving her writing skills.
16. What does the underlined word“bond” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Connection. B. Competition.
C. Impression. D. Need.
17. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Unity
B. Warmth in a Global Crisis
C. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Diary
D. Friendship on the Internet
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. A 17. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是在疫情期间,在Montclair 的一位母亲Peralte发起一项名为“旅行日记”的活动,吸引了很多女性参加。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic (流行病) might help her sort out her feelings.(凯拉·佩拉特认为在疫情期间写日记(流行病)可能有助于她理清自己的情绪。)”以及“She invited women from near and far to fill the notebook with their own pandemic tales. .She named the project The Traveling Diary.(她邀请远近各地的妇女在笔记本上写下她们自己的流行病故事。她把这个项目命名为“旅行日记”。)”可知,Kyra Peralte认为写日记能够帮助梳理自己的感情,所以邀请了附近的妇女写下自己流行病期间的故事,这个项目被命名为“旅行日记”由此可知,Peralte创建“旅行日记”的目的是给女性提供一个情感出口。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adding to the diary, she says, helped her look for meaning and “the growth and development that occurs in terrible times.”(她说,在日记中添加的内容帮助她寻找意义和“在糟糕时期发生的成长和发展”。)”可知,Colleen Martin认为自己在日记中添加的内容可以帮助她寻找到在糟糕时候的成长和发展,由此可知,日记促进了Colleen Martin的个人成长。故选C项。
【16题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“It felt like these were women that I had known even though I didn’t know them at all.(我感觉这些女人是我认识的,尽管我根本不认识她们。)”可知,Martin认为即使自己不认识这些女性,但自己好像早就认识他们一样,再结合根据划线单词后的“…with the people who filled its pages, none of whom she would have otherwise known.(与那些写满了页面的人……,否则她都不认识这些人。)”以及选项可知,Peralte感觉,尽管自己与那些写日记的人不认识,但感觉与她们有一种强烈的“联系”,所以该单词的意思是“联系”符合语境。故选A项。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“She invited women from near and far to fill the notebook with their own pandemic tales. She named the project The Traveling Diary. (她邀请远近各地的妇女在笔记本上写下她们自己的流行病期间的故事。她把这个项目命名为“旅行日记”。)”以及下文中对参与这一活动的女性的感触介绍可知,本文主要讲述了疫情期间Peralte发起了“旅行日记”的活动,吸引了很多的女性加入,所以本文的标题为“旅行日记中的姐妹情谊”概括了全文,与文章主题吻合。故选C项。

Have you ever heard of the classic Marshmallow (棉花糖) Test? It’s a fun experiment where kids are given a marshmallow and told that they can eat it now or wait a bit and get two marshmallows later. Some kids eat the marshmallow right away, while others struggle to wait for the two marshmallows.
Interestingly, when the researchers followed up with those kids later in life, they found that those who waited longer for the two marshmallows would perform better in school, and even have better health. This made people think that waiting is a sign of self-control.
But a new study in 2022 by scientists raised an interesting question: is this behavior really about self-control or is it about the culture we grow up in? In the United States, people usually don’t wait for everyone to be served before they start eating. In Japan, however, there is a tradition of waiting until everyone is served. This cultural difference led researchers to wonder if Japanese kids would wait longer in the marshmallow test compared to American kids. Surprisingly, the study found that Japanese kids did wait longer — about 15 minutes on average, while American kids waited for about 5 minutes.
Then, the researchers did another follow-up experiment. They looked at a different situation: opening gifts. In the United States, gifts are often saved for special events like birthdays and Christmas, when kids have to wait to open their gifts. In Japan, gifts are given more often, and kids usually open them right away. This is a powerful result because it shows the importance of culture and habit in shaping the way how children act.
So, whether you can wait for that second marshmallow might not just be about self-control — it could be about the culture you’re part of!
18. Why do some kids wait longer in the classic Marshmallow Test?
A. They live healthier lives.
B. They have better self-control.
C. They are afraid of being punished.
D. They have no interest in marshmallows
19. What aspect of cultural difference is discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Eating habits. B. Education systems.
C. Body Languages. D. Family structures.
20. What can be inferred from the experiment with opening gifts?
A. American children are better at opening gifts.
B. Self-control is important for children’s growth.
C. Gift-giving habits influence children’s conduct.
D Japanese kids are more patient than American kids.
21. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gift-giving Traditions in Western Countries
B. Marshmallows and Kids: A Fun Experiment
C. Marshmallows, Patience and the World around Us
D. Cultural Influence on Children’s Willingness to Wait
【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 21. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。经典的棉花糖测试中人们认为等待更久的孩子具有更好的自控能力,但是新的研究发现,文化差异也是一个非常重要的影响因素。文章对此进行了介绍。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“This made people think that waiting is a sign of self-control.(这让人们认为等待是自我控制的表现。)”可知,有些孩子在经典的棉花糖测试中等了更长的时间是因为有更好的自控力。故选B。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句到第四句“In the United States, people usually don’t wait for everyone to be served before they start eating. In Japan, however, there is a tradition of waiting until everyone is served. This cultural difference led researchers to wonder if Japanese kids would wait longer in the marshmallow test compared to American kids.(在美国,人们通常不会等到每个人都上菜了才开始吃。然而,在日本,有等到每个人都上桌的传统。这种文化差异让研究人员想知道,日本孩子是否会比美国孩子在棉花糖测试中等待更长的时间。)”可知,第三段讨论了文化差异中的饮食习惯。故选A。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后三句“In the United States, gifts are often saved for special events like birthdays and Christmas, when kids have to wait to open their gifts. In Japan, gifts are given more often, and kids usually open them right away. This is a powerful result because it shows the importance of culture and habit in shaping the way how children act.(在美国,礼物通常是为生日和圣诞节这样的特殊事件而保存的,因为孩子们必须等着打开礼物。在日本,送礼物更频繁,孩子们通常会马上打开礼物。这是一个强有力的结果,因为它显示了文化和习惯在塑造儿童行为方式方面的重要性。)”可知,从打开礼物的实验中可以推断出送礼物的习惯会影响孩子的行为。故选C。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, whether you can wait for that second marshmallow might not just be about self-control — it could be about the culture you’re part of!(所以,你是否能等待第二个棉花糖可能不仅仅是自我控制的问题——这可能与你所处的文化有关!)”可知,文章主要是讲文化差异对孩子等待的时长的影响。故选D。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
22. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
23. What advantage does race walking have over running?
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
24. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
25. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective.
C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【答案】22. C 23. D 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤的人,要想从事这样运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知,但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直,一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知,竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知,一些与跑步有关的损伤,比如跑步者的膝盖,在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知,竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上,任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员,学习适当的技巧。)”可知,Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤。不过,它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。
