After years of enjoying “delicious” fast food，she became much overweight and caught Stage 3 chronic kidney disease(慢性肾病) in the fall of 2020. “It was really a shock，” Perina said.“I learned online that your kidneys have to work twice as hard when you’re overweight.Then I made a decision.” She stopped eating junk food and drinking soda，and avoided sweets，bread and potatoes while adding more fish，fruit and vegetables to her diet.Moreover，she also reduced her salt intake. While it felt difficult at times，she knew that eating healthy food would improve her quality of life.After changing her eating habits，she began to lose weight.“Within a week，I lost seven pounds，and I thought to myself，‘Oh dear! Am I sick? Is there another disease？’” she recalled how perturbed she was then.But soon she realized that it was eating more fruit，vegetables and lean protein(瘦蛋白) that helped her get rid of the pounds. Later she began to walk daily and also tried adding extra movement to her day，like climbing the stairs of her apartment building.To stay motivated and draw her attention from emotional eating，she started spending more time with her daughter outside，writing a book and knitting.Since October 2020，she’s lost 57 pounds，her blood pressure has dropped，and her kidney function has improved. Perina is pleased with her progress and has found that giving herself encouraging talks has helped her.“I always said to myself，‘You’re beautiful.You’re lovely.Look at you.You can surely do this，’” she said.“I lost weight successfully by encouraging myself to look at myself and telling myself these things.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。Olga Perina由于大量吃快餐而体重剧增并且引起了疾病，后来她通过改善饮食习惯、锻炼以及其他方式成功减重并改善了健康。 24．What happened after Perina developed Stage 3 chronic kidney disease?

Now a study provides some tips on how to avoid being a one-hit wonder. Researcher Justin Berg looked at more than 3 million songs by almost 60,000 artists from 1959 to 2010.He defined a hit by referring to the weekly Billboard Hot 100，which tracks the most popular songs based on sales data and so on.He also made portfolios(作品集) for most of the artists who had at least one song on the Hot 100，so he could find out how varied an artist’s portfolio was each year they released one or more songs.These portfolios also allowed him to compare one-hit wonders to huge-hit makers and to those who never made it big. What Berg finally found was that artists with more variety in their portfolio have a better chance of landing repeated hits.But there’s a difficult situation for artists who want to be popular over a long period of time.Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit.It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits. Blind Melon’s No Rain is a good example.The song took off in the 1990s after the band released a strange music video showing a tap dancing(踢踏舞) girl dressed as a bee.But the band’s songs weren’t very unique or creative，and they hardly made themselves different from the other music at that time. “The research backs up the intuitions(直觉) of artists and record companies，”says Storm Gloor，a music industry researcher.“However，since the data end in 2010，the research may not reflect the current state of popular music.Musicians are changing how they write songs to make them more attractive on Spotify or TikTok，” says Noah Askin，a computational social scientist.Berg believes this research can help tell if a work will be successful，but he warns that a completely data-driven approach may be misguided.It ought to be used together with artists’ skill in making creative works. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个研究，探究了艺术家能否多次成名与他们的作品是否新颖之间的关系。 28．Why did Berg make portfolios in the research? A．To set a standard for a hit. B．To collect the most popular songs. C．To study the history of pop music. D．To judge the variety of an artist’s works. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“so he could find out how varied an artist’s portfolio...compare one-hit wonders to huge-hit makers...”可知，Berg制作作品集主要是为了通过对比同一艺术家的不同作品及不同艺术家的作品来判断一名艺术家的作品的新颖性。 29．What most probably leads to an artist’s first hit? A．Introducing a unique music style. B．Including different styles in a song. C．Using a more accepted music style. D．Producing a song similar to old songs. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit.It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.”可知，能帮助艺术家取得首次成功的因素是作品与最近的热门歌曲的相似性，即采用接受度更高的音乐风格。 30．What can be inferred about Blind Melon? A．They failed to stand out for long. B．Their hit song had a special music style. C．They benefited a lot from their dancing skills. D．Their music videos were less popular in the 1990s. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句可知，Blind Melon乐队虽然红极一时，但他们的作品不新颖独特，和当时其他音乐没有多大区别。结合第三段第一句可知，研究发现作品的新颖性能帮助艺术家再次取得成功，由此推知，该乐队未能长期出类拔萃。 31．Which of the following ideas may Berg agree with? A．The research can hardly benefit young music producers. B．The research can help musicians gain popularity online. C．Artists should make popular works mainly by referring to data. D．Music makers should consider both the data and creativity. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Berg believes...a completely data-driven approach may be misguided...used together with artists’ skill in making creative works.”可知，Berg认为要预测一个作品是否能成功，只依靠数据的方法具有误导性，也应该结合艺术家的创作技巧。由此推知，他认为音乐人应该同时重视数据和创造性两个方面。 D It is well known that children with stable，loving families are less likely to experience depression or anxiety.But little research has looked at positive effects. Robert Whitaker at Columbia University in New York and his colleagues analyzed data from a survey of over 37,000 children aged 11 to 13 living in 26 countries that asked about their happiness and family relationships.They found close family relationship contributes to kids’ growing both physically and mentally. To assess family connections，the children were asked to rate on a five-point scale，how much they agreed with statements like “There are people in my family who care about me” and “My parent(s) listen to me and take what I say into account”．Their level of flourishing was measured by looking at the extent to which the children agreed，on a scale of 0 to 10 with statements such as “I like being the way I am”，and “I feel positive about my future”．Then the researchers used the responses to give each child a “family bond strength” score and a “flourishing” score.They found that the two scores were connected，and children with the strongest family bonds were 49 per cent more likely to flourish than those with the weakest. Children with good family relationships are probably more likely to flourish because they have “an inner sense of safety”，says Whitaker.This sense of safety is what allows children to “understand who they are and accept who they are”，and to “grow and learn，have positive relationships and develop a sense of mastery and purpose”，he says. To promote healthy family relationships，Whitaker says the best thing that parents and other caregivers can do is to spend quality time with children.“This can include simple activities like eating meals，going for walks or doing chores together，” he says.“Being present，open，interested and focused at these times is the basis of family connection.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，拥有良好家庭关系的孩子可能更容易茁壮成长，文章介绍了研究的过程，分析了研究的结果。 32．How did Robert’s team carry out the study? A．By surveying and analyzing data. B．By referring to library literature. C．By observing children’s behavior. D．By comparing subjects’ background. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可知，Robert的团队是通过调查和分析数据来进行这项研究的。故选A。 33．What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A．The subjects of the study. B．The purpose of the study. C．The process of the study. D．The application of the study. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知，第三段主要讲的是研究的过程。故选C。 34．What does Robert Whitaker suggest parents do? A．Set an example for children. B．Keep children company attentively. C．Lecture children about their acts. D．Teach children to be independent. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，Robert Whitaker建议父母们专心地陪伴孩子。故选B。 35．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．More Love，Less Anxiety B．The Stronger Family Ties，the Healthier Children Are C．Factors Determining Children’s Physical Health D．Activities Promoting Healthy Family Relationship 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。根据第二段内容并结合全文可知，文章主要说明了拥有良好家庭关系的孩子可能更容易健康成长。故选B。 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。 Life is full of special moments that are worth being preserved in photos.If you’re going to the beach，a waterproof(防水的) camera will help you do that. 36 Besides，it works equally well for water park visits.Here is some advice on how to choose and use such cameras. As with any camera，you can choose a waterproof camera with a viewing screen that allows you to see the photos you have just taken. 37 For clear viewing in any situation，a waterproof camera with a high-resolution(高分辨率) LCD viewing screen is better. 38 In most cases，you’ll want the smallest and lightest camera you can find.Look for a waterproof camera that weighs 140g or less.In terms of size，choose a waterproof camera that’s no more than two-and-a-half inches in length，two inches in width，and one-and-a-half inches in height so it’s easy to carry around. It is a good idea to read comments of the camera carefully before buying it.Comments can give people an idea of the kind of settings where the camera can be used and how well the camera performs. 39 If those complaints are about the company’s negative response to quality problems，they can be useful information as well. If you’re using a waterproof camera underwater，try to get as close to your target as possible.You’d better take it with you all the time. 40 It could raise the camera’s operating temperature and cause damage. A．It is a perfect tool for recording diving memories. B．The size and weight of your waterproof camera matter. C．Some waterproof cameras have a voice control feature. D．You also need to take notice of any review of dissatisfaction. E．That can make sure you won’t miss any wonderful moments. F．In addition，do not leave a waterproof camera in direct sunlight for long. G．The screen should be clear enough to see underwater or in direct sunlight. 36．答案　A 解析　前文“If you’re going to the beach，a waterproof(防水的) camera will help you do that.”引出了防水相机，A选项“它是记录潜水记忆的完美工具”承接上句，介绍了防水相机的应用场景之一，It指代waterproof camera，符合文意。故选A项。 37．答案　G 解析　由本段主题句“As with any camera，you can choose a waterproof camera with a viewing screen that allows you to see the photos you have just taken.”可知，本段主要建议相机要带显示屏，G选项“屏幕应该足够清晰以便在水下或阳光下看清”是对显示屏的要求，且与下一句的“For clear viewing”呼应，符合文意。故选G项。 38．答案　B 解析　本空为本段的主题句。根据后文“Look for a waterproof camera that weighs 140g or less.”和“In terms of size”可知，该段主要讲防水相机的重量和尺寸，B选项“你的防水相机的大小和重量很重要”概括段意适合作为主题句。故选B项。 39．答案　D 解析　本段的主题是建议在购买相机前阅读产品评论。前文“Comments can give people an idea of the kind of settings where the camera can be used and how well the camera performs.”讲述了评论的参考作用，D选项“你还需要注意任何差评”衔接上文，且与下一句中的“those complaints”呼应，符合文意。故选D项。 40．答案　F 解析　本段主要陈述使用防水相机时的注意事项，后文“It could raise the camera’s operating temperature and cause damage.”指出了相机在温度过高的情况下可能导致的后果，F选项“此外，不要把防水相机暴露在阳光下太久”可与之衔接，符合段落主题。故选F项。 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。 Leila Taheri used to go to the Welsh Harp wetland as a schoolgirl.At that time，the 160-hectare nature 41 was home to various birds，also Taheri’s perfect playground.She 42 played baseball there，forgetting to go home.

Some of us think it important to research the outer space. First, people can get a better understanding of the outer space through their explorations. Second, new resources can be found there for humans to use and bring about new living space for human life. However, others don’t believe so. In their opinion，not only does this kind of exploration cost too much money but also it’s very dangerous for astronauts to do such work. I think such explorations into the outer space are worth trying out. Yours， Li Hua 第二节　(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Daniel got a job as a delivery man to work his way through college.His parents couldn’t save up all the money he needed to get into law school，so since he was 15，he would take summer jobs and find some other jobs between studies to earn extra cash. The boy was determined and every day he would wake up at 5 am，summer or winter，riding on his old bike to deliver parcels.It wasn’t an easy job，especially during winter.Besides that，his old bike was slow，making things harder.But that wasn’t a problem for Daniel. Daniel’s schedule was always the same every day and people in the neighborhood already knew him. He called them by their names，and they would often wave and greet him as he passed. It was a normal day and Daniel was delivering parcels as usual.“Morning，Daniel! Check out my brand-new mountain bike！” called out a man whose home Daniel visited frequently.“Morning，Mr Warren! That’s a really fancy bike！” Daniel screamed back at him as he rode towards his first delivery.He couldn’t help imagining what it would feel like to own a bike like the one Mr Warren had just shown him.“My deliveries would double with that，” he thought longingly. Suddenly，Daniel lost balance and fell on the road.He got up and leaned the bike against the wall to see what had happened.He found a nail stuck in the back tire(轮胎) and he unluckily had a flat tire. As he turned around and tried to think of what to do，he saw something unusual.A strange man Daniel had never seen before furtively(鬼鬼祟祟地) looked around and placed a package under his jacket.“Hey！” Daniel shouted at the man.“Hey there! What are you doing? That’s not yours！” The man heard Daniel and started to run as fast as he could. 注意：续写词数应为150 左右。 After having a look at his bike’s flat tire，Daniel quickly started to run after the man. Mr Warren arrived on his new bike，and then helped pin(按住) the thief down. 参考范文 After having a look at his bike’s flat tire，Daniel quickly started to run after the man.“Stop! Thief！” Daniel cried out as he ran.The man was fast，but Daniel was faster.Daniel was gaining on the thief with every step he took.The desperate thief had to look over frequently to check the distance between them.Suddenly he tripped over a stone and fell.Daniel immediately caught him by the arm.The thief struggled to his feet，waving his fist toward Daniel in an attempt to escape.Daniel was holding the thief tight when he heard someone shouting “Here I come！” Mr Warren arrived on his new bike，and then helped pin the thief down.Daniel told Mr Warren what had happened and called the police.Shortly afterwards，a policeman arrived and took the thief away.When Daniel was about to leave，Mr Warren stopped him and offered his new bike to Daniel and told him it was a gift for him.When Daniel tried to refuse such a generous gift，Mr Warren insisted he take the bike，saying that it was actually a reward for Daniel’s bravery.Tears in his eyes，Daniel said，“Thank you so much! I’m glad to be of any help to you guys！” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
