The “Great British Baking Show” is a long running reality show, once seen as a heartwarming escape. Here is a list of books that can also fulfill that particular “Bake Off” dish of sugary and heartwarming. The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun Though there are no sugary treats of the baked variety in the novel, this does offer that competition and a sweet finish. In order for Dev and Charlie to get together, each must face their biggest emotional barriers, have discussions about mental health and become vulnerable (脆弱的) with each other. All of this adds up to an open­hearted and heartwarming story. Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson You won't be able to feed the title of this book without watering for sweetness. But the details of this novel and its back story are as rich as the most delicious dessert. A black cake recipe by Wilkerson subscription Sweet Reads calls for one whole pound of dark brown sugar—but notes “Quantities are approximate. Eleanor never did write them down.” Chef's Kiss by T. J. Alexander In the novel, Simone is an inspired baker, which means that there are many passages detailing how she creates original recipes both at work and at home. The book nods at the competitive food industry in general, where celebrity chefs and social media can make or break a career. Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall　 The competition that Rosaline takes part in is a very real “Bake Off” , and she completes with three bakes per episode (集). But it also gives a behind­the­scenes look at what we all imagine is really being said by the hosts and producers when the cameras are off. 21．What can we learn from Alison Cochrun's book? A．How to avoid being weak. B．How to get on well with others. C．How to overcome barriers in work. D．How to bake sugary and sweet cakes. 22．What gift can you get with a purchased Wilker­son's book? A．Delicious dessert. B．A black cake recipe. C．Free subscription to Sweet Reads. D．A pound of dark brown sugar. 23．Which book described the influence of famous chefs? A．Chef's Kiss. B．Black Cake. C．The Charm Offensive. D．Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake. B Jack London, one of America's major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876.During his life，London worked at many jobs.His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing. London loved to read.As a teenager，he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland，California, public library.He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months.He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting. London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living.He knew their problems first hand.He worked as a sailor，farmer，factory employee，railroad worker，and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs. London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland.He loved the water.When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop.Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is a much larger sailing boat.Like many people of the time，London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever.In 1897, he headed for Alaska.He didn't find gold，but he discovered something even more valuable.He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination.London entertained the miners with story after story.Later，using his experiences during the Gold Rush，he created many more colorful stories. London resolved to live a full, exciting life.He once said，“I would rather be a superb meteor (流星), every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.”Each day, he pushed himself.Once London determined that he was going to be a writer, nothing could stop him.His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day.He refused to stop even when he was sick.In eighteen years，the writer published fifty­one books and hundreds of articles.He was the best­selling and highest­paid author of his day.Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his most famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness.Readers can enjoy Jack London's energy and his talent for telling wonderful stories each time they open one of his novels. 24．Why was Jack London able to write on many topics? A．He pushed himself to reach goals. B．He had a variety of experiences and jobs. C．He was drawn to the Klondike Gold Rush. D．He was the best­selling and highest­paid author. 25．What prevented Jack London from finishing college? A．He was hired to sail to Japan. B．He traveled to Alaska in 1897. C．He spent much of his time writing. D．He was not interested in college life enough. 26．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicate? A．Jack London is expert at universe. B．Jack London aims high and strives to succeed. C．Jack London is excited about life in the wildness. D．Jack London faces a choice between life and death. 27．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A．To support the statement that London was the best writer. B．To describe Jack London's life during the klondike Gold Rush. C．To provide information on London's life. D．To identify books written by Jack London. C Clutter is the disease of American writing.Our national tendency is to inflate and thereby sound important.But the secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components.Every word that serves no function, every long word that could be a short word, every adverb that carries the same meaning that's already in the verb, every passive construction that leaves the reader unsure of who is doing what—these weaken the strength of a sentence. Simplify，simplify.How can we achieve such freedom from clutter？The answer is to clear our heads of clutter.Clear thinking becomes clear writing；one can't exist without the other.It's impossible for a muddy thinker to write good English.He may get away with it for a paragraph or two, but soon the reader will be lost. Writers must therefore constantly ask: what am I trying to say？Surprisingly often they don't know.Then they must look at what they have written and ask：have I said it？Is it clear to someone coming across the subject for the first time？If it's not, some fuzz has worked its way into the writing.The clear writer is someone clear­headed enough to see this stuff for what it is: fuzz. I don't mean that some people are born clear­headed and are therefore natural writers, while others are naturally fuzzy and will never write well.Thinking clearly is a conscious act that writers must force on themselves, as if they were working on any other project that requires logic. Writing is hard work.A clear sentence is no accident.Very few sentences come out right the first time，or even the third time.Remember this in moments of despair.If you find that writing is hard, it's because it is hard. 28．Which of the following contributes to good writing? A．Avoiding using passive structures. B．Leaving out words without a meaning. C．Using short words instead of long ones whenever possible. D．Choosing adverbs carrying the same meaning of the verbs. 29．What's the relationship between clear thinking and clear writing? A．Clear thinking equals clear writing. B．Clear thinking reflects clear writing. C．Clear writing may not rely on clear thinking. D．Only clear thinking brings about clear writing. 30．What does the underlined word “fuzz” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Something cloudy. B．Something difficult. C．Something uninteresting. D．Something complicated. 31．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Bad Writing and Clutter B．Out of Clutter Find Freedom C．Simplify to Achieve Good Writing D．Nobody Is Born to Be a Good Writer D In a clinical trial (试验) with 80 adults, a team of researchers found that sleep extension reduced energy intake and resulted in a negative energy balance in real­life settings among adults with overweight who habitually curtailed (缩减) their sleep duration.The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Obesity is a major public health concern.Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results.Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity.However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night.The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020.The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day—which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight­loss programs and help prevent or reverse (逆转) obesity. “In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation，” Dr.Tasali said.“Now we've shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories.This could really help people trying to lose weight.” 32．What's the new finding of the research? A．Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B．Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C．Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D．Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. 33．What's the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2? A．Harmful.　　　　 B．Unique. C．Lasting. D．Apparent. 34．According to the passage, the subjects of the study ． A．usually slept 6.5 hours per night B．were 80 adults of the similar age group C．got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D．were particularly chosen from a certain place 35．What do researchers think of the study? A．Its results are hard to explain clearly. B．It lays a foundation for further studies. C．It's unreliable with many factors ignored. D．It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 American Poet Louise Gluck Won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature Louise Gluck was born in New York City on April 22，1943, and grew up on Long Island, where she began to write poetry as a child.After she left high school, she took poetry workshops，first at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York, and then at Columbia University.36._________ Currently, Gluck is a professor of English at Yale University.

Together with my friends, I decided it should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash. Every once in a while, someone would come by and ask us seemingly stupid men, “Who told you to wash the cars?” or, even better, “Who paid you to wash their cars?” We explained we just wanted to do something kind. But our response was often met with an even more confused look. As the afternoon went on, some other friends that came by understood our goal of the voluntary event and started helping out with some of the duties. I wasn’t cleaning cars for money. I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness.

The “Great British Baking Show” is a long running reality show, once seen as a heartwarming escape. Here is a list of books that can also fulfill that particular “Bake Off” dish of sugary and heartwarming. The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun Though there are no sugary treats of the baked variety in the novel, this does offer that competition and a sweet finish. In order for Dev and Charlie to get together, each must face their biggest emotional barriers, have discussions about mental health and become vulnerable (脆弱的) with each other. All of this adds up to an open­hearted and heartwarming story. Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson You won't be able to feed the title of this book without watering for sweetness. But the details of this novel and its back story are as rich as the most delicious dessert. A black cake recipe by Wilkerson subscription Sweet Reads calls for one whole pound of dark brown sugar—but notes “Quantities are approximate. Eleanor never did write them down.” Chef's Kiss by T. J. Alexander In the novel, Simone is an inspired baker, which means that there are many passages detailing how she creates original recipes both at work and at home. The book nods at the competitive food industry in general, where celebrity chefs and social media can make or break a career. Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall　 The competition that Rosaline takes part in is a very real “Bake Off” , and she completes with three bakes per episode (集). But it also gives a behind­the­scenes look at what we all imagine is really being said by the hosts and producers when the cameras are off. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几本书，这些书涉及烘焙﹑菜谱等。 21．What can we learn from Alison Cochrun's book?

Simplify，simplify.How can we achieve such freedom from clutter？The answer is to clear our heads of clutter.Clear thinking becomes clear writing；one can't exist without the other.It's impossible for a muddy thinker to write good English.He may get away with it for a paragraph or two, but soon the reader will be lost. Writers must therefore constantly ask: what am I trying to say？Surprisingly often they don't know.Then they must look at what they have written and ask：have I said it？Is it clear to someone coming across the subject for the first time？If it's not, some fuzz has worked its way into the writing.The clear writer is someone clear­headed enough to see this stuff for what it is: fuzz. I don't mean that some people are born clear­headed and are therefore natural writers, while others are naturally fuzzy and will never write well.Thinking clearly is a conscious act that writers must force on themselves, as if they were working on any other project that requires logic. Writing is hard work.A clear sentence is no accident.Very few sentences come out right the first time，or even the third time.Remember this in moments of despair.If you find that writing is hard, it's because it is hard. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章指出了当下写作冗繁的弊端，并提出了解决办法——简化，同时给出了简化的具体做法。 28．Which of the following contributes to good writing? A．Avoiding using passive structures. B．Leaving out words without a meaning. C．Using short words instead of long ones whenever possible. D．Choosing adverbs carrying the same meaning of the verbs. C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Every word that serves no function...these weaken the strength of a sentence.”可知，尽可能地使用短词而不是长词有助于写作。 29．What's the relationship between clear thinking and clear writing? A．Clear thinking equals clear writing. B．Clear thinking reflects clear writing. C．Clear writing may not rely on clear thinking. D．Only clear thinking brings about clear writing. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Clear thinking becomes clear writing；one can't exist without the other.”可知，只有思路清晰才能使写作清晰。 30．What does the underlined word “fuzz” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Something cloudy. B．Something difficult. C．Something uninteresting. D．Something complicated. A　解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句和所在句可知，如果文章对第一次接触这个主题的人来说不清晰，说明文中有“不清晰的东西”。 31．What may be the best title for the passage?

Obesity is a major public health concern.Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results.Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity.However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night.The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020.The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day—which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight­loss programs and help prevent or reverse (逆转) obesity. “In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation，” Dr.Tasali said.“Now we've shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories.This could really help people trying to lose weight.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究结果，在现实生活中，睡眠延长会减少能量摄入，睡眠时间不足已日益被认为是肥胖的一个重要因素。 32．What's the new finding of the research? A．Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B．Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C．Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D．Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“sleep extension reduced energy intake”可知，这项研究发现，延长睡眠时间有助于减少热量摄入。 33．What's the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2? A．Harmful.　　　　 B．Unique. C．Lasting. D．Apparent. A　解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity.”可知，睡眠不足对健康有害，所以经常每晚睡眠不足7小时与不良健康结果有关，adverse意为“有害的”。 34．According to the passage, the subjects of the study ． A．usually slept 6.5 hours per night B．were 80 adults of the similar age group C．got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D．were particularly chosen from a certain place C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，研究对象得到了适合自己的睡眠建议。 35．What do researchers think of the study? A．Its results are hard to explain clearly. B．It lays a foundation for further studies. C．It's unreliable with many factors ignored. D．It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. B　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，研究人员认为这项研究为进一步的研究奠定了基础。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 American Poet Louise Gluck Won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature Louise Gluck was born in New York City on April 22，1943, and grew up on Long Island, where she began to write poetry as a child.After she left high school, she took poetry workshops，first at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York, and then at Columbia University.36._________ Currently, Gluck is a professor of English at Yale University.
