Wild edible(可食用的)plants are common in kitchens here.Hule's weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests.Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves,a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion(侵蚀)and absorb storm damage. Hule is head of Swamini,a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood,but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable,so people are trying to find other sources of income.They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (for tourists in Vengurla's Mandavi River. The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves.Food has also become a key attraction:local spicy coconut curries,with homegrown or wild vegetables.Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing,and their catch is cooked and served. Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city.She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins.She made her own version of the fritters,with chickpea flour,and presented it at the wild vegetable festival."It was an instant hit.This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,"says Hule. 第2页共10页 Swamini's lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river."The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency.We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe.Such people help our business grow.What more can we want?" says Hule. 24.Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule? A.Do as the Romans do. B.Strike while the iron is hot. C.Kill two birds with one stone. D.Bite off more than you can chew. 25.What does Swamini offer to visitors?

B.They were traditional. C.They had their own features. D.They got strongly promoted. 27.How did Hule feel about tourists'obtaining her food recipe? A.Lost. B.Proud. C.Worried. D.Curious. C There is something to be said for being a generalist,even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole,well-lived life. Society pushes us to specialize,to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular occupation,branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field.You may pursue training,degrees,or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up. Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night,then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends,or traveled to exciting places,meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion( of others can hold back your true spirit. Generalists,on the other hand,know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability,talent,and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective into specific fields of expertise )The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor,one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills. Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all 第3页共10页 related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but,once you explore their depths,you discover that they are.My editor Toni,who is also a writer, has edited several history books.She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter,she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy."I don't know where it will lead,but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit." These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life,of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad,general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy. 28.What is good about being a generalist? A.You don't need to be pushed by society. B.You will need to know less and less. C.You know more about your occupation. D.You can enjoy your life to the fullest. 29.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about specialists' A.regrets B.limitations C.Choices D.expectations 30.According to the author,a superior doctor is one who A.is fully aware of his talent and ability B.brings knowledge of other fields to work C.should love poetry and philosophy D.is a committed specialist in medicine 31.What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni? A.Passion alone does not ensure a person's success B.In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible. C.Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected. D.Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit. D In the animal kingdom,mimics (are not rare.Stick insects pretend to be twigs.Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes.The examples,though,are visual.Auditory mimicry is rarer.Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it,as he describes in Current Biology.Some bats,he believes,mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. Dr.Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago.The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees.He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators. 第4页共10页 To test this idea,he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made.Then,with protective clothing,they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees.Computer analysis revealed that bees' and bats'buzzing were,indeed,similar. Then the researchers recruited several owls.They put the owls,one at a time,in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on,and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and,after the birds had settled in,broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise.As a control,they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats. During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter,they videoed the owls. After analysis,the results were unequivocal.When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing,the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could.In contrast,when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played,they crept closer. Dr.Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator.They strongly suspect,however,that it is not unique.Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed.And with the result of the experiment,he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized. 32.What was Dr.Russo's assumption of the study? A.Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies. B.The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees. C.Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom. D.Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry. 33.How did Dr.Russo test his idea? A.By consulting experts in this field. B.By referring to other scholars'analysis C.By collecting computer data.D.By conducting series of scientific experiments. 34.What does the underlined word"unequivocal"in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A.Disappointing. B.Controversial. C.Definite.D.Uncertain. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B.Animal Mimicry:Buzz off C.A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D.Bats:No More Victim to Owls 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的16-20选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项 中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be a Good Listener Whether you're communicating in person or on the phone,being a good listener 第5页共10页 is an important part of any healthy relationship.36If you've wondered whether you could be a better listener,the answer is almost certainly "yes".Making sure the people in your life feel truly heard is something that you can improve upon. You appear more interested when you invite the speaker to give explanations,by asking them things that need more than a "yes"or "no"answer."An open-ended question is an invitation for the other person to say more,and continue going deeper into their train of thought,versus(与…相对比)a close-.ended question that invites a factual answer,"Dr.Bobby explains.37 What you're expressing through your body language is as important as what you say.It's about looking in someone's eyes,smiling and nodding.Showing with your face that you're following what someone is saying is really important. _38Remember that looking into your laptop camera is like making eye contact,while breaking it to look downward makes it appear that you're doing something else. _39"People can be considered as poor listeners when they don't understand what the conversation is actually about on a high level."Dr.Bobby says. _40Maybe they're really just wanting to express their bad feelings,or talk about their day.So don't try to give suggestions;just listen instead. A.Listening requires looking at problems from other's view. B.In fact,people only want to get to know more about others. C.This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat. D.Sometimes,people simply want to talk about an unhappy situation. E.This is something you can do to show that you're really listening. F.Being a bad listener can break that person's trust in your relationship. G.Listening doesn't always require offering solutions-quite the opposite,in fact. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 I woke up with only one thing on my mind:what to wear.A billion thoughts 41 through my brain as wooden hangers moved back and forth.It was my first day of high school in a new state.

One sunny day,my school announced an exciting event,a talent show for the local food bank.Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day.A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day.Deep down,I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate.However,my self-doubt held me back,"I don't have any special skills to share..” Days turned into weeks,and the talent show drew closer.I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma,one of the most popular girls in my class,came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class."How about singing together in the talent show?"She grinned,"I heard you singing a tune,along the way back home.I can't help following you here."Gosh,I couldn't believe my ears.Emma, with personality and popularity,acknowledged my little talent.Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice,I felt like being favoured by fortune. "You two?The talent show for the food bank?"My mum bent towards us and her face lit up."A big occasion."Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head."Why not practise right now upstairs?I bet you'll be a perfect match."Winking at us,she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school.We brainstormed,exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene.As the days rolled by,I was feeling pretty good about our act.But the day before the performance,Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in. 第9页共10页 I was completely knocked out by the news. Finally came the big moment. 第10页共10页
