Section B
Directions: Read the passage below. Use the word given in the brackets to form a word that fits in the space.
Throughout the pandemic, we 11 (bury) in bad news, just dragging ourselves through the days. If we took a risk, it was often so ordinary: going to the grocery store, socializing with another human being in person. We spent so much cognitive energy trying to stay safe and keep up with events 12 we had little left to pursue the types of big, frightening-yet-exciting adventures that expand our lives.
Now, it’s about time that we pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Adventures expand our world by allowing us to engage with our self and others in a new way. Research shows that novelty activates our dopamine (多巴胺) system, which enhances our mood and positive outlook. New situations, especially ones that seem dangerous, also force us to confront our fear. This can boost our mood by making us feel 13 (stressed).
You don’t have to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan to reap benefits. Any adventure 14 you stretch yourself and learn something new counts. For some, it may be jumping out of a plane or scuba diving in Iceland. For others, trying a different workout or going out to dinner at a new place might do the trick. Ready for your adventure? Here’s some advice.
Start small. The risks you’re up for now 15 look different from the ones you took before the pandemic. That’s OK. 16 manageable activity you choose to do this weekend will break your laziness, build your confidence, and help you pursue bigger adventures.
Shift 17 you view anxiety. Research from Harvard University shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as karaoke singing and public speaking 18 excitement enjoyed the experiences more and performed better than 19 who tried to suppress their anxiety. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.
Tap into regret. It can be very motivating. Think about whether you’ll feel disappointed if you miss out on this interesting, expansive experience or glad you stayed home. “We tend 20 (regret) actions we don’t take rather than ones we do,” says Boardman, a psychologist. “So the fear of missing out can help you.”
II. Reading Comprehension (共30分; 每题2分)
Section A
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
It was a September afternoon. The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world — were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
21. The author avoided swimming for seven years because________.
A. she had no access to the cove.
B. she had to receive treatments.
C. she hated to reapply her makeup.
D. she felt insecure without makeup.
22. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant. B. Resolved. C. Proud. D. Joyful.
23. What can we learn from this passage?
A. You can’t judge a book by its cover. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
(B)
In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
24. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.
25. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”?
A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
26. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea?
A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
27. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
(C)
Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today.
The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human.
The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.
Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now.
28. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history.
C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society.
29. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2?
A. Consequences of overlooking history.
B. Significance of mastering all subjects.
C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow.
D. Resolutions of the current international issues.
30. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with?
A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well.
B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum.
C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools.
D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history.
31. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean?
A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news.
B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate.
C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical.
D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.
Section B (共8分;每题2分)
Directions: Complete the form according to the passage content Write one word or more in each space.
Starting exercise
You want to start doing exercise? Congratulations! You have just taken your first step towards a new and improved you!
Most people assume that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind—but what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term. Moreover, exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over negative feelings.
Exercise is any activity that gets your body moving. Exercise doesn’t have to mean breaking a sweat at the gym or running a marathon. Any physical activity counts towards improving your health — something is always better than nothing. If you are just starting exercise for the first time, remember to start at a level that is comfortable for you.
Scientists have long known that what you eat can make or break a workout and possibly affect your fitness results. Like cars that run on petrol, your body burns carbohydrates (碳水化合物) for energy. Foods like noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables give your body plenty of carbohydrates to keep up your energy during a long workout. To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise, you need to eat foods rich in protein, such as fish, eggs and milk products.
Choose the right clothing and shoes for the exercise and physical activity you plan to do is also important. To prevent injury, make sure your clothes and footwear are both comfortable and safe. What’s more, remember to warm up before exercising and stretch at the end of your workout.
So, now you know the benefits of exercise and how to do it safely and effectively. What are you waiting for?
Starting exercise

Starting at a comfortable level

Section B
Directions: Read the passage below. Use the word given in the brackets to form a word that fits in the space.
Throughout the pandemic, we 11 (bury) in bad news, just dragging ourselves through the days. If we took a risk, it was often so ordinary: going to the grocery store, socializing with another human being in person. We spent so much cognitive energy trying to stay safe and keep up with events 12 we had little left to pursue the types of big, frightening-yet-exciting adventures that expand our lives.
Now, it’s about time that we pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Adventures expand our world by allowing us to engage with our self and others in a new way. Research shows that novelty activates our dopamine (多巴胺) system, which enhances our mood and positive outlook. New situations, especially ones that seem dangerous, also force us to confront our fear. This can boost our mood by making us feel 13 (stressed).
You don’t have to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan to reap benefits. Any adventure 14 you stretch yourself and learn something new counts. For some, it may be jumping out of a plane or scuba diving in Iceland. For others, trying a different workout or going out to dinner at a new place might do the trick. Ready for your adventure? Here’s some advice.
Start small. The risks you’re up for now 15 look different from the ones you took before the pandemic. That’s OK. 16 manageable activity you choose to do this weekend will break your laziness, build your confidence, and help you pursue bigger adventures.
Shift 17 you view anxiety. Research from Harvard University shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as karaoke singing and public speaking 18 excitement enjoyed the experiences more and performed better than 19 who tried to suppress their anxiety. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.
Tap into regret. It can be very motivating. Think about whether you’ll feel disappointed if you miss out on this interesting, expansive experience or glad you stayed home. “We tend 20 (regret) actions we don’t take rather than ones we do,” says Boardman, a psychologist. “So the fear of missing out can help you.”
【答案】
11. have been buried 12. that 13. less stressed 14. where 15. might 16. A 17. how 18. as 19. those 20. to regret
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出疫情期间人们被坏消息和日常事务缠身,没精力追求冒险,现在应走出舒适区,通过冒险来扩展自己的世界,并提供了一些建议。
11. 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在整个疫情期间,我们被坏消息淹没,只能拖着自己度过这些日子。空处作句子的谓语,结合“Throughout the pandemic”可知,时态宜用现在完成时,表示过去的动作对现在产生的影响,be buried in“被埋在……中”是固定用法,应用被动语态,且主语是we,助动词应用have。故填have been buried。
12. 考查结果状语从句。句意:我们花费了如此多的认知能量,试图保持安全,跟上事件的发展,以至于我们几乎没有精力去追求那些扩大我们生活的、令人恐惧但又令人兴奋的大冒险。空后为完整的句子,根据“so much cognitive energy”可知,此处用so… that…表示“如此……以至于……”,that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
13. 考查形容词比较级。句意:这可以通过减少压力来改善我们的情绪。根据“boost our mood”可知,此处指“感觉压力减轻”,应用比较级less stressed。故填less stressed。
14. 考查定语从句。句意:任何能让你伸展自己、学到新东西的冒险都很重要。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词adventure,先行词在从句中表示行为发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。故填where。
15. 考查情态动词。句意:你现在面临的风险可能看起来与大流行之前不同。空后为动词原形,结合“look different from the ones you took before the pandemic”可知,此处表示一种可能性,指“可能看起来与大流行之前不同”,宜用情态动词might表达一种较为委婉和不确定的推测。故填might。
16. 考查冠词。句意:这个周末你选择做一项可控的活动,这会打破你的懒惰,建立你的自信,并帮助你追求更大的冒险。空处表示泛指,意为“一项可控的活动”,应用不定冠词,且manageable的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a,句首单词的首字母应大写。故填A。
17. 考查宾语从句。句意:改变你对焦虑的看法。空处引导名词性从句作Shift的宾语,结合后文的“This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.”可知,从句中缺少方式状语,空处需表达“怎样,如何”,应用连接副词how作引导词。故填how。
18. 考查介词。句意:哈佛大学的研究表明,那些将自己对卡拉OK唱歌和公开演讲等活动的紧张情绪解释为兴奋的人,比那些试图抑制焦虑情绪的人更享受这些经历,表现也更好。动词短语interpret… as…意为“把……理解为……”。故填as。
19. 考查代词。句意:哈佛大学的研究表明,那些将自己对卡拉OK唱歌和公开演讲等活动的紧张情绪解释为兴奋的人,比那些试图抑制焦虑情绪的人更享受这些经历,表现也更好。空处指代前面的people,为了避免重复,应用代词those。故填those。

(A)
It was a September afternoon. The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup.

21. The author avoided swimming for seven years because________.
A. she had no access to the cove.
B. she had to receive treatments.
C. she hated to reapply her makeup.
D. she felt insecure without makeup.
22. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant. B. Resolved. C. Proud. D. Joyful.
23. What can we learn from this passage?
A. You can’t judge a book by its cover. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位女性因青少年时期的容貌焦虑而多年避免游泳,直到某次海边潜水的经历让她重拾对水的喜爱,并开始逐步克服自我意识过强的问题,学会接受真实的自己。
21. 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. (长期以来,我一直在与慢性痤疮和无效的治疗作斗争,再加上十几岁女孩的外表压力,我已经完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制自己的外表,而去游泳意味着把这种控制洗掉。)”可知,作者七年没有游泳是因为她没有化妆时感到不安全。故选D。
22. 推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段中“Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. (突然间,我怎么做都不重要了。无论是通过药物治疗还是心理态度,我都会找到一种方法,让我的生活能够随时潜入水中。)”、倒数第二段“That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. (那一天是我缓慢而坚定地回到自己身体的旅程的开始——我慢慢地忘记了我内心深处的自我意识。生活并没有瞬间改变:我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边,但我给自己披上了改变现状的新决心。我感到形势发生了变化。)”可知,作者潜水归来后感到更加坚定。故选B。
23. 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第三段中“Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. (长期以来,我一直在与慢性痤疮和无效的治疗作斗争,再加上十几岁女孩的外表压力,我已经完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制自己的外表,而去游泳意味着把这种控制洗掉。)”和倒数第二段“That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. (那一天是我缓慢而坚定地回到自己身体的旅程的开始——我慢慢地忘记了我内心深处的自我意识。生活并没有瞬间改变:我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边,但我给自己披上了改变现状的新决心。我感到形势发生了变化。)”可知,本文讲述的是作者通过一次潜水经历逐渐学会了接受自己,不再过分在意外表的变化,从而找到了内心的自由和解放。因此,我们能从这篇文章中学到是选项C“Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. (自我接纳是最伟大的礼物)”。故选C。
(B)
In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
24. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.
25. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”?
A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
26. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea?
A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
27. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过作者的经历说明食物即文化,文化即食物.
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises.(在中国度过的所有时间里,我都经历过情感危机)”及“Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.(像许多中国人,尤其是老一辈的中国人一样,她没有通过拥抱或要求情感宣泄来表达对我的爱,而是通过食物和过度的关心来表达)”可推知,作者在开头提到自己的情感危机是为了引出中国人表达爱的方式,即通过食物和关心来表达情感。故选B项。
25. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection.(我花了一段时间才习惯这种表达感情的方式)”及下文“bossy(专横的)”和“Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!(喝点粥吧!喝点汤!多穿点衣服!)”可知,起初作者觉得这种表达有些粗鲁而专横。由此可知,划线词与Abrupt and simple(唐突而简单)意思接近。故选A项。
26. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法。从厨师的刀锋上像雪一样落下的鱼片,在锅里闪闪发光的热中跳舞的肉片,在蒸笼里膨胀的小米或大米。它是在陶制的酱菜缸或酒缸中大量使用微生物,是在狭小的厨房里创造出一百种口味,是将天然原料转化为多种形式。从鸭子的舌头到橘子皮,它都在寻找让人愉悦的方法。它是人类智慧和创造力的最高表现之一)”可推知,作者通过提供更多的例来进一步解释她的观点。故选B项。
27. 推理判断题。根据第二段“But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.(但随着时间的推移,我开始明白这是什么意思。现在,我总能感觉到,当一个中国人开始喜欢我的时候,因为他们开始过度担心我的身体需求,催促我吃或喝,穿暖和,休息。当一脸严肃的厨师叫着让我早餐再吃点包子,或者李逼着我再吃一口她的红烧肉时,我知道他们给了我一个可食用的拥抱)”及第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法)”和最后一段“Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.(最重要的是,它将我们联系在一起,使我们成为人类)”可推知,作者通过文章传达的信息是食物即文化,文化即食物,强调食物在文化中的重要性和连接性。故选B项。
(C)
Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today.
The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human.
The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.
Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now.
28. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history.
C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society.
29. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2?
A. Consequences of overlooking history.
B. Significance of mastering all subjects.
C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow.
D. Resolutions of the current international issues.
30. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with?
A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well.
B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum.
C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools.
D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history.
31. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean?
A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news.
B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate.
C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical.
D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。讨论了在现代社会发展中,培养历史感的重要性,以及历史教育的重要意义。文章呼吁将历史教育纳入更加合理的课程体系中,历史感的建立有助于培养学生的批判性思维以及理解世界的能力。
28. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. (想象一个没有历史感的人是可怕的。只活在当下的想法是可怕的。更可怕的是,整整一代人,更不用说整个社会,在缺乏历史感的情况下运作。)”可知,作者在第一段提到了人们对历史的无知。故选B。
29. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection (历史上的人物和事件可能植根于过去,但我们如何谈论这些事情,我们如何写它们,以及我们如何教授它们——换句话说,我们如何将历史作为人类经历的记录来实践——告诉我们很多关于我们是谁以及我们现在看重什么。另一方面,把自己想象成一本尚未书写的历史书中的一个章节,可能会迫使我们进行更深层次的自我反思)”以及“In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. (在一个环境变化、不平等加剧、国际政治环境发生巨大变化的时代,我们需要了解我们的制度是如何发展起来的。历史赋予我们力量。没有其他学科能如此全面地帮助我们理解什么是人类。)”可知,作者在第二段主要强调了历史对今天和明天的洞见。故选C。
30. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.(历史学科已经靠边站了。“历史与地理在课程中争夺自己的位置,”贝恩博士说,“但它对时间、地点和背景的关注使它真正与众不同。”换句话说,历史不仅仅告诉我们如何成为好公民:它还让我们具备了清晰理解世界所需的知识,以及准确分析世界的能力)”可知,历史是如此的重要,学校应该提高历史课程的地位。故选B。
31. 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. (没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了。我们应该为我们的孩子准备一个合乎逻辑的历史课程。如果经常听到毕业生声称他们从未学过加减乘除,那一定会引起强烈的抗议)”可知,没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了,我们应该重视历史学科,应该和数学等其它学科一样对待。划线处和D项:We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.(我们对待历史应该像对待其他学科一样重视)合乎题意。故选D。

Directions: Complete the form according to the passage content Write one word or more in each space.
Starting exercise
You want to start doing exercise? Congratulations! You have just taken your first step towards a new and improved you!
Most people assume that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind—but what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term. Moreover, exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over negative feelings.
Exercise is any activity that gets your body moving. Exercise doesn’t have to mean breaking a sweat at the gym or running a marathon. Any physical activity counts towards improving your health — something is always better than nothing. If you are just starting exercise for the first time, remember to start at a level that is comfortable for you.
Scientists have long known that what you eat can make or break a workout and possibly affect your fitness results. Like cars that run on petrol, your body burns carbohydrates (碳水化合物) for energy. Foods like noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables give your body plenty of carbohydrates to keep up your energy during a long workout. To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise, you need to eat foods rich in protein, such as fish, eggs and milk products.
Choose the right clothing and shoes for the exercise and physical activity you plan to do is also important. To prevent injury, make sure your clothes and footwear are both comfortable and safe. What’s more, remember to warm up before exercising and stretch at the end of your workout.
So, now you know the benefits of exercise and how to do it safely and effectively. What are you waiting for?
