At the age of 19, he landed in Hallock, Minnesota, where he obtained a job doing mechanical. work on a farm. Jones had a talent for and an interest in mechanics. He read widely on the subject and educated himself in his spare time. By the time he was twenty, Jones was able to get an engineering license in Minnesota. He served in the U. S. Army during World War I where he was often called upon to make repairs to machines and other equipment. After the war, he returned to the farm. It was on the Hallock farm that Jones educated himself further in electronics. He built a transmitter (发射机) for the new radio station to broadcast its programming.

Social media posts complaining about how unwilling people are to lend a free hand or unload a tough day go viral; some posters even declare the “it takes a village” mindset is dead. Recent studies suggest that the size of Americans’ networks decreased during the pandemic, and the time spent socializing between 2003 and 2020 also dropped. According to a 2021 survey by the Survey Center on American Life, Americans rely less on friends than before; when experiencing a personal problem, 16 percent of respondents said they would consult a friend first compared to 26 percent in 1990. “The modern age of apps gives us more ways to get things done: ride-share services can take you to the airport, while gig-work(零工) platforms ensure your dog is walked during that crucial meeting. But these tools, while helpful, can also sacrifice human interaction,” says Xuan Zhao, a psychology research scientist at Stanford University and co- founder of the AI mental health start-up Flourish. At a time when loneliness epidemics are occurring worldwide, experts say avoiding communication not only contravenes human nature but may be worse for our health. On the contrary, help and social connections make us feel better. Research suggests that one of the most vital indicators of positive mental health is our ability to picture a social safety network on which we can rely— whether we use it or not. That's because when you allow someone else to join you, you' re offloading some of the cognitive effort and are creating “space to move through that stressor(压力源),” says Razia Sahi, a postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton University’ s Logic of Emotion Lab. 28. What phenomenon is explained in the first paragraph? A. The rise of social media complaints. B. The popularity of gig-work platforms. C. The decline of traditional neighborhood help. D. The death of the “it takes a village” mindset. 29. What can we learn from Xuan Zhao's words? A. Gig-work platforms are replacing human interaction. B. AI mental health companies are becoming more popular. C. Apps used to meet social interaction needs should be developed. D. The convenience of apps comes at the cost of human interaction. 30. What does the underlined word “contravenes” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Relates to. B. Conflicts with. C. Subscribes to. D. Cooperates with. 31. What does the author intend readers to do? A. Complain less on social media. B. Value human interaction more highly. C. Rely on social safety networks more. D. Use modern technology more wisely. D When Laura Gidney and her husband John were house-hunting in New York State, they knew their new home had to be in a neighborhood zoned for backyard chickens. The Gidney family now has 10 adult chickens, with 20 newly hatched chicks this spring. They make their home in a comfortable cage with plenty of space to walk around. Each morning, the Gidneys enjoy fresh eggs from their mini-flock (鸡群). The reason why most chicken owners have started up their backyard flocks is: eggs. By getting eggs from your own chickens, you avoid supporting industrial factories that produce the majority of eggs sold in the market. Egg producing hens on factory are often kept in close quarters where they cannot stretch their legs or wings, walk around, or participate in normal social activities. Also, studies by Mother Earth News have demonstrated that farm-raised eggs, from chickens given enough space, are more nutritious than industry-sourced eggs. With certified organic chicken food available, you can keep your chickens healthy while supporting sustainable(可持续的) farming. Chickens also serve as great consumers for your kitchen leftovers. Andrew Malone, who runs Funky Chicken Farm in Melbourne, FL, says he can't think of much you can't feed a chicken. “They will eat just about anything that comes out of the kitchen, including meat,” he says. Chickens’ waste can be used in your garden as fertilizer. In addition, chickens will happily eat up insects and pests in your yard. Taking proper care of your chickens will ensure that they stay healthy, and will help you get the most eggs out of your flock. While you can feed a chicken with kitchen leftovers, you also need to supplement(补充) kitchen leftovers with proper feed to ensure your chickens are getting the nutrition they need to stay healthy and lay strong eggs. 32. Why do most chicken owners start backyard flocks? A. To have more nutritious eggs. B. To gain more activity space. C. To enjoy the fun of raising chickens. D. To compete with factories that produce eggs. 33. How does keeping chickens in the backyards benefit people according to Andrew Malone? A. Chickens help keep the house clean. B. Chickens eat almost all kitchen waste. C. Chickens improve the taste of homegrown food. D. Chickens produce less waste than other animals. 34. What should chicken owners do to keep their flock healthy? A. Feed chickens mostly raw meat. B. Keep chickens indoors at all times. C. Provide only kitchen waste as feed. D. Ensure chickens have enough space to walk. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The benefits of raising chickens in backyards. B. The types of chicken feed for healthy flocks. C. How to care for chickens to produce better eggs. D. The growing trend of keeping chickens as pets. 第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Students, particularly young ones, often struggle with staying focused for long periods of time. As a result, regular breaks throughout the school day can help them focus. However, the benefits of taking breaks will never stop here. 36 Recent research shows that your brains aren't relaxed when you take breaks. They' re hard at work processing memories and helping you make sense of what you experience. 37 . Short, repeated sessions of learning with breaks facilitate the memorization of new contents. Boosting your performance and creativity Sometimes, new creative approaches to problems may arise when you are doing different activities. So, the next time you' re stuck, try to take a break, rest and do something different. 38 . Developing social skills Longer breaks provide opportunities for children to learn important life skills. Research shows that when children play together, they learn how to take turns, resolve conflict, and solve problems. They also learn how to manage their own emotions and behavior— fundamental skills for life. So dropping breaks is a mistake: 39 , and sacrificing it for more academics is stupid. Reducing stress Constant worry can lead to chronic stress. Students who play less have been reported to be more likely to suffer higher levels of stress. 40 . Therefore, taking breaks can relieve and reduce levels of stress. Breaks provide an opportunity for creative play and allow children to practice different thinking. They benefit from the freedom to explore new ideas without fear of failure or the stress of grades, and regular exposure to new experiences can also increase their cognitive flexibility, preparing them for academic challenges. A. Improving the memory B. Promoting brain development C. Thus, breaks are an essential part of learning D. Managing stress effectively can enhance their learning E. This stress can have a physical and mental impact on them F. Hopefully, you'll have new ideas when you return to your work G. It is a crucial and necessary component of a child's development 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school.

Despite its comparison to a hamburger, it carries far more geographical and historical meaning. Roujiamo is closely associated with the north-central city of Xi' an, in Shaanxi province. Since 202 BCE, Xi’ an 56 (be) both the eastern terminal of the Silk Road and the capital for13 more or less successive Chinese dynasties. 57 (traditional), roujiamo mainly is made up of two parts— the flatbread and the filling. The meat preparation used to make the filling for roujiamo dates back 58 the Warring States period. The 59 (introduce) into China of Central Asian-style flatbreads, like the kind used in roujiamo, in general, is owed to Ban Chao, a Chinese general 60 spent over 30 years battling a union of nomadic(游牧的) tribes 61 (regain) control of the farthest western reaches of China. The flatbread bun, called baijimo, takes 62 (it) name from what is today known as Beiji township. There exist differences between the flatbreads 63 (use) for different districts in Shaanxi. For example, the flatbread used for Tongguan roujiamo is unlike that used in the Xi’ an style. Tongguan roujiamo was named after a town that, in days long past, guarded 64 strategic pass roughly 120km east of Xi’ an. Despite its tasty flavor, it's 65 (risk) to eat on the go. Proper roujiamo is filled to bursting, regardless of the potential consequences for one’ s clothes and dry-cleaning budget. 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40 分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分 15 分) 假定你是李华，上周五你参加了学校举办的秋季运动会并在跳远 ( the long jump) 项目中获得第一名，请你给英国笔友 Jim分享此事，内容包括： 1. 你参加比赛的过程； 2. 你参加比赛的收获。 注意: 1. 词数80 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jim, I'd love to hear about your experiences too.

I was sure my hard work would be recognized. When Coach Mary walked in, the whole room went silent. “Girls,” she began, “I'm glad to announce that Terry Shaw has been elected captain of the cheerleading team.” The gym was filled with cheers, but I barely heard them. My heart sank. How could this be? I hadn't missed a practice, or a game, in the three years. Was everyone blind? Didn't they realize that I had worked three years to earn the title? The next morning, I held my cheerleading uniform in my hands and considered quitting. But deep down, I knew I couldn't leave something I loved so much. Even though I was heartbroken, I decided to stay. At the first practice with Terry as captain, I planned to keep my distance. But Terry surprised me by coming over to talk. She smiled and asked if I had any ideas to improve our routines, saying, “We’ll make a great team.” I wanted to dislike her, but she made it hard. She was kind and sincere, showing respect to everyone on the team. Slowly, I realized she wasn't my competition; she was a true teammate. As the season continued, Terry always included me in decisions, especially when planning routines. My jealousy started to fade, and I began to respect her leadership. We grew closer and her kindness had changed my attitude. Our school held the annual Sports Award Banquet at the end of the year. Together, Terry and I decorated the hall, laughing and talking about our best memories from the season. That night, I cheered as Terry received the captain's award, feeling happy for her. Then, Coach Mary announced a final award— the “Spirit Award,” which would go to the cheerleader who had shown the most dedication. When she called my name, I was shocked. Terry rushed over to hug me and whispered, “You truly deserve this.” 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I stood there, holding my award, I remembered all the times I had wanted to quit. In the months that followed, we spent countless hours together. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
