B 【解析】 【原文】M: Clara Barton was born on December 25, 1821. When the Civil War began in 1861, she heard of stories of wounded soldiers. She felt she needed to do something to help them, so she urged people to donate bandages and medicine and delivered these supplies to the battlefield. Clara didn’t stop helping when the war was over. She led a group to search for missing soldiers. This group also worked to identify soldiers killed or missing. After four years of this work, Clara moved to Switzerland, where she first learned about a group called the Red Cross. This group worked to help people who were suffering during times of war. In 1873 Clara returned to the United States. In 1881 she started an American branch of the Red Cross. She served as its first President for over 20 years. As the result of Clara’s hard work and leadership, the Red Cross grew. Today, it also helps people suffering as a result of earthquakes, fires, floods, and other disasters. Clara Barton died on April 12, 1912, but her great contribution, the American Red Cross lives on. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Lynda La Plante is the writer of Prime Suspect and the best-selling author of more than 40 books. Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介). The Water-Babies By Charles Kingsley This classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney(烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too. The Faerie Queene By Edmund Spenser I used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone. 21. How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights? A. By reading a book borrowed from her grandma. B. By listening to her grandma’s story. C. By reading a ghost story. D. By listening to it on the radio. 22. Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions? A. Hidden Killers. B. The Water-Babies. C. Wuthering Heights. D. The Faerie Queene. 23 What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene? A. She found pleasure in writing poems. B. She began to believe in herself. C. She fell in love with poems. D. She became word-smart. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。介绍三本对Lynda La Plante影响很深的书。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Wuthering Heights下的段落中“One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介).(还是个孩子的一天晚上，我悄悄地走进浴室，这时我听到一个声音喊道：“让我进去;让我进去！”同时，从我奶奶的房间传来了可怕的敲门声。我非常害怕，叫道：“救救我！鬼在哪儿？”奶奶抬起头说：“别傻了；我在听收音机里的一个故事，叫《呼啸山庄》。”我和奶奶一起意识到，你可以把书中的故事转换成不同的媒介)”可知，Lynda是通过听收音机而知道呼啸山庄的故事的。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题The Water-Babies下的段落中“I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.(我特别喜欢汤姆在他的冒险中提出的所有问题，其中许多是关于社会不公平的。我这辈子也问过很多问题)”可知，The Water-Babies使Lynda养成了问问题的习惯。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据小标题The Faerie Queene下的段落中“I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.(我把它背下来了，我为自己能把这么难的东西记在心里而感到骄傲。然后我知道我可以学单词和任何人一样好)”可推知，Lynda读了The Faerie Queene后，她开始相信自己。故选B项。 B A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements. She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth. Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks. However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life. 24. What is Lisa like now when she fails? A. She tries to cover it. B. She is positive and adult. C. She acts unconcerned. D. She wants to make excuses. 25. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience? A. There is no sweet without sweat. B. Experience is the father of wisdom. C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger. D. Responsibility is often more important than ability. 26. How does the author prove his view? A. By analyzing existing data. B. By quoting a psychologist. C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes. D. By giving examples together with study results. 27. Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth? A. It usually comes at a high price. B. It produces little negative feelings. C. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements. D. It is growth that does both good and harm. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。创伤后的成长并不意味着我们能毫发无伤地度过难关，对每个人来说，这都是一段可怕而痛苦的时光，但是作者通过举例子和描绘实验结果来表明，创伤后的成长也会产生积极的影响。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.(她开了个玩笑，对自己没有遇到更大的问题表示感谢，最后制定了一个如何改进的计划。)”可知，当Lisa考试失败时，她感谢自己没有遇到更大的问题，然后制定计划如何改进，所以说她表现得很积极理智，故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth(然而，我们大多数人在逆境中成长，甚至在创伤中成长。Lisa去年也经历过很多次。当周围的一切都在发生变化的时候，她想方设法找到自己的方向，装备自己。心理学家称之为创伤后成长。)”可推知，通过Lisa的例子，作者试图告诉我们困境可能使人变得更强，故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth(然而，我们大多数人在逆境中成长，甚至在创伤中成长。丽莎去年也经历过很多次。当周围的一切都在发生变化的时候，她想方设法找到自己的方向，装备自己。心理学家称之为创伤后成长。)”和最后一段“However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.(然而，在一项研究中，研究人员调查了近385名在大流行期间经济困难的人。88%的受访者表示，他们也经历了一些积极的结果——他们现在有了更牢固的家庭关系，对生活有了更多的认识。)”可推知，作者通过举例子和描述研究结果来证明自己的观点，故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.(创伤后的成长并不意味着我们能毫发无伤地度过难关。对每个人来说，这都是一段可怕而痛苦的时光。我们可能会经历怀疑、沮丧，甚至否认。随着时间的推移，经历过创伤的人可能会出现头痛或其他身体症状，情绪起伏，甚至是人际关系问题。创伤确实留下了不可移除的痕迹。)”和最后一段“However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.(然而，在一项研究中，研究人员调查了近385名在大流行期间经济困难的人。88%的受访者表示，他们也经历了一些积极的结果——他们现在有了更牢固的家庭关系，对生活有了更多的认识。)”可知，作者认为创伤后的成长既有好处也有坏处，故选D。 C Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation. A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing. “My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.” Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.” Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji. 28. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up? A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly. 29. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3? A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult. C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual. 30. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji? A. Because of their poor communications kill. B. Because of their being old with worse memory. C. Because of their less communicating with the young. D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old People C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲年轻人和老一代对竖大拇指表情符号不同的理解以及原因分析。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.(Z世代（1995年至2009年出生的人）表示，竖起大拇指可以被视为被动攻击，他们表示，每当使用大拇指时，他们都会感到受到攻击。无论是非正式的聊天、朋友之间的聊天还是在工作中的聊天，这个符号对年轻一代来说都有着截然不同的‘粗鲁’含义。)”、第二段“A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. (Reddit上一位24岁的年轻人总结了Z世代的论点，称它最好‘在任何情况下都不要使用’，因为它‘伤人’。)”以及第二段“Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.(其他年轻人也认为这是一种糟糕的状态，尤其是在工作中，这会让团队显得不友好和不随和。)”可知，竖大拇指对Z世代来说是粗鲁、伤害和不友善的行为。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段“Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.(其他年轻人也认为这是一种糟糕的状态，尤其是在工作中，这会让团队显得不友好和不随和。)”以及第三段“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me(我上一个工作场所有一个WhatsApp聊天，我们的团队可以在上面互相发送信息，那里的大多数人只是竖起大拇指回复。我不知道为什么，但这似乎对我有点 )”可知，hostile应代指前面“unfriendly and not easygoing”，表示“有敌意的”。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show‘I agree’ or ‘I understood and will follow.’(年长的员工似乎对这种反应感到困惑，他们说他们在与工作相关的聊天中竖起大拇指表示‘我同意’或‘我理解并会遵守’)”可知，老一辈对竖大拇指的理解和年轻人不一样，所以导致他们无法理解年轻人的反应。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are ‘officially old’ if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.(问题的一部分在于，年轻人在开玩笑时往往会竖起大拇指。24岁的巴里·肯尼迪（Barry Kennedy）说，他只用它与父母或年长同事等老年人交流。Perspectus Global对2000人进行的一项调查显示，大多数年龄在16岁至29岁之间的人认为，如果你使用拇指向上或心形表情符号，你就‘正式变老了’。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲年轻人和老一代对竖大拇指表情符号不同的理解。而C项The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap(竖起大拇指的表情符号：代沟的标志)，符合文意。故选C项。 D When you praise a dog, it’s listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners. But now researchers have explored this phenomenon by using an imaging machine to look inside the brains of 13 dogs as they listened to their owners’ voice. The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation (语调)—but not when they heard random (随机的) words spoken in a praising tone or praising words spoken in a flat tone, according to the researchers. “Dogs deal with both what we say and how we say it in a way which is amazingly similar to how humans do it,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in Hungary. When dogs hear speech, he explains, they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain deals with meaning, while intonation is dealt with in the right hemisphere. All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner (扫描器). The dogs could get up and leave the machine whenever they wanted. But it was clear to the dogs that their human companions loved it when they did this very easy task. “They were really happy to take part,” says Andics. “The difficulty of the training was that they can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.” He says most dog owners have experimented with trying to “trick” their dogs by saying nonsense words in a cheerful, happy tone of voice. “I think the big difference here is that they only heard us, and they didn’t see us,” says Andics, because the dogs were inside the machine. “Here, the only information they had was the speech signal. What we saw is that for praise to be dealt with as a reward, when there is no other supporting information, both word meaning and intonation have to fit.” 32. What is regarded as a reward by dogs according to the study? A. Praising words in a flat tone. B. Random words in a flat tone. C. Praising words in a praising tone. D. Random words in a praising tone. 33. How do dogs deal with what they hear? A. Focus more on the meaning. B. Focus more on the intonation. C. Use information from their peers. D. Use the two parts of the brain. 34. What is a hard part of the training in Andics’opinion? A. Looking into the dogs’ brain activity. B. Training dogs to stay still in the machine. C. Keeping dogs separated from their owners. D. Asking dogs to get up and leave the scanner. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Dogs Understand Tone and Meaning of Words B. Dogs Indeed Know How to Praise C. Dogs Can Recognize Owners’ Voices D. Dogs Can Read Man’s Moods 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述实验表明狗能理解人说话的语气和含义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation(语调)(当狗听到赞扬的话语和赞许的语调时，它们大脑中的奖赏通路会被激活)”可知，当狗听到用赞赏的语调说的表扬的话时，其脑内的奖赏通路会被激活，这被狗视为奖励。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere(半球) of the brain processes meaning, while intonation is analyzed in the right hemisphere.(它们似乎把单词的意思和语调分开了。然后，大脑左半球处理意思，而语调由右半球分析。)”可知，狗在大脑的不同半球对话语的含义和说话的语调分别进行分析。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner(扫描器).(研究中的所有狗都是自愿的志愿者，并被训练不在扫描仪中移动)”及“The difficult aspect of the training was convincing the dogs that ‘motionless’ means really motionless. They can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.(训练的困难之处在于让狗相信‘不动’意味着真的不动。它们不能向任何方向移动超过3毫米，否则我们将不得不扔掉所有的数据。)”可知，研究过程中，狗被要求在扫描仪器中待着不动，这是训练中的难点。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大义题。文章开头通过“When you praise a dog, it's listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something.__________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior._____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I knew I should do something. I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and take out the money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. “Yes, those children need help and need the money more.” I said to myself. My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you. ” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now. ” “Thank you, Grandpa.” I was overwhelmed with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爷爷送我一个存钱罐，我努力的存钱，想要买自己心仪的自行车。当看到临近省份发生了地震的电视新闻后，我决定把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我应该做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者的最终决定，打破存钱罐，把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“爷爷对我的行为感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷了解了事情的经过后，所做出的决定。 2. 续写线索：存钱——梦想买自行车——看到新闻——捐钱——获得自行车奖励——开心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 回来：come back to/return to 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 以……为傲：be proud of/take pride in 幸福：happiness/blessedness 【点睛】［高分句型 1］Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground.

Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介). The Water-Babies By Charles Kingsley This classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney(烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too. The Faerie Queene By Edmund Spenser I used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone. 21. How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights? A. By reading a book borrowed from her grandma. B. By listening to her grandma’s story. C. By reading a ghost story. D. By listening to it on the radio. 22. Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions? A. Hidden Killers. B. The Water-Babies. C. Wuthering Heights. D. The Faerie Queene. 23. What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene? A. She found pleasure in writing poems. B. She began to believe in herself. C. She fell in love with poems. D. She became word-smart. B A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements. She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth. Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks. However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life. 24. What is Lisa like now when she fails? A. She tries to cover it. B. She is positive and adult. C. She acts unconcerned. D. She wants to make excuses. 25. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience? A. There is no sweet without sweat. B. Experience is the father of wisdom. C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger. D. Responsibility is often more important than ability. 26. How does the author prove his view? A. By analyzing existing data. B. By quoting a psychologist. C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes. D. By giving examples together with study results. 27 Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth? A. It usually comes at a high price. B. It produces little negative feelings. C. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements. D. It is growth that does both good and harm. C Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation. A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing. “My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.” Older workers appear confused by the reaction saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.” Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji. 28. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up? A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly. 29. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3? A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult. C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual. 30. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji? A. Because of their poor communications kill. B. Because of their being old with worse memory. C. Because of their less communicating with the young. D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji. 31 Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old People C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive D When you praise a dog, it’s listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners. But now researchers have explored this phenomenon by using an imaging machine to look inside the brains of 13 dogs as they listened to their owners’ voice. The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation (语调)—but not when they heard random (随机的) words spoken in a praising tone or praising words spoken in a flat tone, according to the researchers. “Dogs deal with both what we say and how we say it in a way which is amazingly similar to how humans do it,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in Hungary. When dogs hear speech, he explains, they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain deals with meaning, while intonation is dealt with in the right hemisphere. All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner (扫描器). The dogs could get up and leave the machine whenever they wanted. But it was clear to the dogs that their human companions loved it when they did this very easy task. “They were really happy to take part,” says Andics. “The difficulty of the training was that they can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.” He says most dog owners have experimented with trying to “trick” their dogs by saying nonsense words in a cheerful, happy tone of voice. “I think the big difference here is that they only heard us, and they didn’t see us,” says Andics, because the dogs were inside the machine. “Here, the only information they had was the speech signal. What we saw is that for praise to be dealt with as a reward, when there is no other supporting information, both word meaning and intonation have to fit.” 32. What is regarded as a reward by dogs according to the study? A. Praising words in a flat tone. B. Random words in a flat tone. C. Praising words in a praising tone. D. Random words in a praising tone. 33. How do dogs deal with what they hear? A. Focus more on the meaning. B. Focus more on the intonation. C. Use information from their peers. D. Use the two parts of the brain. 34. What is a hard part of the training in Andics’opinion? A. Looking into the dogs’ brain activity. B. Training dogs to stay still in the machine. C. Keeping dogs separated from their owners. D. Asking dogs to get up and leave the scanner. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Dogs Understand Tone and Meaning of Words B. Dogs Indeed Know How to Praise C. Dogs Can Recognize Owners’ Voices D. Dogs Can Read Man’s Moods 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。 Culture is an idea that isn’t easy to understand.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something.__________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior._____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
