【解析】
【原文】It is a well-known and rather amusing fact that all swans (天鹅) in the U. K. officially belong to the King or Queen. This tradition goes back to the Middle Ages, when swan meat was commonly found on the tables of the wealthy. Owning swans was seen as a great honor, something only for the ruler and their rich friends. Nowadays, swans are no longer eaten. In fact, this practice was officially banned in 1981, but the swans still remain a protected species. To make sure these beautiful birds are kept safe and well, the government officially counts the swans on the Thames River during the third week of July each year. The count is carried out by an official called The King’s Swan Marker and his team, who are known as “Swan Uppers”. Easily identified by their bright red shirts, the Uppers travel on the river in six small boats, doing research about the local swan community. They spend five full days catching young swans to weigh them, measure them and give them a health check. Today’s event is focused on education and swan protection, and the annual “Swan Upping” attracts both tourists and local schoolchildren who come to observe this ancient tradition.

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
Esther Wang appeared just hours after the rescue operation to find her was called off for the night. Wang got separated from her hiking group on a trail at Golden Ears Park in British Columbia at around 3 p. m. on Tuesday, June 27. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police(RCMP), about 54 hours after she went missing, the 16-year-old girl showed up from the densely forested and mountainous area at around 9:30 p. m. on June 29, walking out on the very same path she had been traveling.
Sixteen teams were involved in the search from across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland up to the Sea-to-Sky corridor, “She is fine, just extremely tired and sore, bitten by mosquitoes,” RCMP leader Keith Schendel told City News. “So she is going to be taking some time to rest. Her parents had been there from the day’s rescue efforts and she walked pretty much right into their arms.”
According to the letter sent by the girl to CTV News, Wang was filled with hopelessness and fear, but she knew she couldn’t give up. She wrote that she suddenly slipped and hit her head on some rocks at one point and lost her phone during the terrifying situation. She managed to get to a river and then followed the stream to a gravel path which took her to Hiker’s Beach.
But things started to slowly take a turn for the worse until it got better. “I began to feel dizzy, and I started to imagine things in front of me when there clearly wasn’t anyone around me,” she wrote in her letter. “I continued to encourage myself to keep moving forward and not to give up yet. It was around 9:15 p. m. when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.” Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.
21. What do we know about the girl from Schendel’s words?
A. She had no serious injuries.
B. She was suffering emotionally.
C. She recovered physically soon.
D. She was grateful to the rescuers.
22. What caused the girl’s terrifying situation according to the text?
A. Her carelessness.
B. Her sudden accident.
C. Her physical weakness.
D. Her poor sense of direction.
23 What did the girl mainly describe in her letter to CTV News?
A. How she felt after becoming lost.
B. How she was helped when in horror.
C. How she managed to return to safety.
D. How she was separated from her group.
24. What played the most important role in making the girl show up?
A. Her good luck. B. Her perseverance.
C. The rescuers’ work. D. Her common sense.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了16岁的女孩Esther Wang在迷路约54个小时后,凭着自己的毅力走出困境的故事。

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
25. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
26. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study?
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
27. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should EI be taught in school?
B. How can students develop high EI?
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
【答案】25. B 26. D 27. A 28. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现,情商高,即能够有效管理自己情绪的学生,在学业上表现得更好。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.”(让研究人员最惊奇的是情商和学习成绩的关系对任何年龄的学生都适用)可知,情商对所有年龄段的学生的学习都有影响。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.”(最后,根据MacCann的说法,情商所需的技能,如理解人类动机和情绪,可能与掌握某些科目所需的技巧重叠,如历史和语言,使学生在这些科目领域具有优势。)可知,情商高的学生成绩更好,其中一个原因是他们所具有的技能(如理解人类动机和情感),与掌握某些学科(如历史和语言)所需的技能重叠,因此在这些学科领域具有优势。故选D项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills”(她建议采取涉及整个学校的干预措施,包括额外的教师培训和关注教师的幸福感和情感技能)以及“training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists”(由教师而不是外部专家进行培训效果更好)可知,MacCann建议要培养教师的情商培养技能。故选A项。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段“Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.”(美国心理学会发表的一项研究表明,能够更好地理解和有效管理自己情绪的学生,即情商(EI),在学校的表现比那些情商较低的同学要好)可知,本文主要讲述了情商高的学生学业表现更好,故C项“高情商的学生在学校表现更好”作标题最为恰当。故选C项。
C
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored (订做的) to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?
A social media echo chamber (社交媒体回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media information that leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media sources. Adding in a few media sources with different opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.
By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
29. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?
A. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
B. People contact like-minded online users effectively.
C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.
30. What does the phrase “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Track. B. Identify.
C Improve. D. Provide.
31. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?
A. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
B. Criticizing all the things on social media.
C. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
D. Researching primary sources of information.
32. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C. To promote the use of various social media sites.
D. To inform people of new technology developments.
【答案】29. D 30. C 31. A 32. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体回音室是指一个人体验量身定制的媒体信息,将对立的观点和不同的声音排除在外。本文主要分析了社交媒体回音室产生的原因,并就如何确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里提出建议。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.(因此,人们根据我们先前存在的信仰和观点来看待和接受信息)”可知,社交媒体回音室的结果是人们只能得到证实他们信仰的信息。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词后的句子“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.(加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源,至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么)”可推知,人们需要改进媒体来源,从而真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体。因此beef up意为“加强;改进”。和C项意思相近。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye.(加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源,至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么。接下来,用批判的眼光阅读你所看到的每一件事)”可知,让自己暴露在反对的声音中可以帮助我们走出回音室。故选A。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone.(为了真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体,我们必须给自己一个走出舒适区的机会)”和最后一句“By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.(通过接受我们在社交媒体上的媒体自助餐是我们当前信仰和观点的产物,我们可以努力确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里)”可知,作者希望通过本文让人们不要盲目接受信息。故选B。

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。
How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____33____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.
Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. ____34____
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. ____35____ Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across.
Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. ____36____ You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down – especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
____37____ When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person.
A. Have a heart-to-heart talk.
B. Challenge the person to act.
C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her.
D. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently on.
E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
F. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment.
G. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard and I understand how you feel?”
【答案】33. C 34. D 35. G 36. F 37. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阻止抱怨者抱怨的几种方法。
【33题详解】
上文“Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. (你是否曾经遭受过你母亲关于她身体疼痛的抱怨?长时间的抱怨会破坏你们在一起的时间质量)”指出如果你的母亲在你面前抱怨这可以产生不好的结果,下文“Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.(事实上,有一些方法可以让抱怨者停止抱怨而不会引起争论)”笔锋一转,指出有办法能让抱怨者停止抱怨而不会引起争论,由此可知,空处应该承接上文,C项“但你可能没有足够的勇气去阻止她”切题,是对上文的总结,同时也引出了本文话题,即针对你可能没有足够的勇气去阻止自己的母亲抱怨这种事,本文有一些方法,故选C。
【34题详解】
根据本段中心句“Change the subject. (换个话题)”可知,本段主要讲了要转移抱怨者的话题,空前“If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.(如果你的邻居正在抱怨电话公司,告诉她你意外地接到了一个老朋友的电话。如果你的同事在抱怨你的老板,问问他是否见过新员工)”列举你会遇到周围的一些人向你抱怨的情况,空格处应该承接上文,指出我们如果遇到一些人向我们抱怨,应该如何做,即转移话题,D项“把他们从现在的焦点上转移开”符合本段中心思想,故选D。
【35题详解】
上文“If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening.(如果你的抱怨者不断重复自己的话,如果你表现出你在听,他可能会停下来)”指出当抱怨者向自己抱怨时,要表示出你在听,空处应该承接上文,指出具体如何做才能表现出自己在听,G项“问一些类似这样的问题,‘我能告诉你我听到了的以及我理解你的感受吗?’”切题,是表现出自己在听的具体做法,故选G。
【36题详解】
根据本段中心句“Try to be honest.(试着说实话)”可知,本段主要讲要对抱怨者说实话,上文“When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.(当你有事情要做时,告诉抱怨者你必须中断谈话)”提到当你有事情要做时,告诉抱怨者你必须中断谈话,下文“You can simply be honest(你可以只是直说)”提到你要直说,即你不需要找借口,F项“你不需要诸如工作截止日期或者牙医预约之类的借口”切题,故选F。
【37题详解】
此处是本段中心句。由下文“When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. (当与你非常亲近的人——你的伴侣、兄弟姐妹或最好的朋友——给你带来很多负面压力时,敞开心扉谈论这个问题是很重要的)”可知,本段主要讲要和抱怨者敞开心扉谈论,A项“开诚布公地谈一谈”切题,能概括本段内容,故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是南丁格尔的经历和她对医疗保健工作的影响和贡献。
【53题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:被称为“提灯女神”的弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔于1820年5月12日出生在意大利佛罗伦萨,被公认为现代护理学的奠基人。空格处是谓语动词,句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时;主语Florence Nightingale与动词celebrate之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态;主语是单数形式,be动词用is。故填is celebrated。
【54题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她出生于一个富裕的英国家庭,却选择了护理作为职业,而在当时,护理被认为是对女性不合适的职业,因为女性不被允许频繁出现在公众场合。根据空格后的单数名词family可知,空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”,wealthy的发音是辅音音素开头,所以用a。故填a。
【55题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她出生于一个富裕的英国家庭,却选择了护理作为职业,而在当时,护理被认为是对女性不合适的职业,因为女性不被允许频繁出现在公众场合。根据下文的when women were not allowed to appear in public frequently可知,空格处应该用suitable的反义词unsuitable补足语,补充说明a profession的情况。故填unsuitable。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:1854年,在克里米亚战争期间,她带领一组护士前往前线,在那里她们面临着极其恶劣的条件。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词the front line进行限定说明,先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以应该用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她精心组织了伤员的护理工作,显著改善了卫生条件。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语,动词improve与上文的内容之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词improving作状语。故填improving。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:她还使用数据分析来展示她的发现,著名的是利用极地面积图(通常称为南丁格尔玫瑰图)来显示卫生对士兵死亡的影响。修饰空格后的动词短语make use of应该用副词famously作状语。故填famously。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她还使用数据分析来展示她的发现,著名的是利用极地面积图(通常称为南丁格尔玫瑰图)来显示卫生对士兵死亡的影响。make use of something to do“利用某物做某事”是固定搭配。所以,空格处用不定式作目的状语。故填to show。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:南丁格尔的影响力远远超越了她的时代。根据句意和空格后的名词短语her lifetime可知,空格处应该填入介词,且意义为“超出”,所以用介词beyond。故填beyond。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:她在数据分析和医疗改革方面的开创性工作激励了后代的护士和医疗专业人员。professional当“专业人员,专业人士”讲时是可数名词,所以,此处应该用复数形式表示泛指。故填professionals。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意:她的遗产延续至今,她所倡导的原则——循证实践、以患者为中心的护理以及公共卫生的重要性——仍然是全球护理和医疗保健的核心。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,表示过去发生的动作,应该用一般过去时。故填promoted。
第三节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)
63. 课文默写,每空不超过四个单词。

We strongly encourage all teenagers to follow these lifestyle tips, because living well is the safest and most effective way to get into shape.”
【答案】keep regular hours
【解析】
【导语】本文文体为说明文。文章主要说明了青少年保持健康生活方式的重要性,给出了相关的建议,如健康均衡的饮食、规律的作息和充足的锻炼等。
【详解】考查动词短语。句意:她补充说:“更重要的是,他们应该保持规律的时间和充足的锻炼,以保持精力充沛和健康。我们强烈鼓励所有青少年遵循这些生活方式建议,因为生活得好是保持身材最安全、最有效的方法。”空前是情态动词,所以空处应填动词原形,根据句意,应是“应该保持规律的时间”之意,所以应是keep regular hours。故填keep regular hours。
课文默写,每空不超过四个单词。
·You must ____64____ the exciting fighting scene on top of a bamboo forest in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. With ____65____ the computer, scenes like this could have been made in the studio. However, the film’s director, Ang Lee, ____66____ have actors perform on location. He believed this approach to film-making would create a “human connection” which could not ____67____ CGI special effects.
【答案】64. be familiar with
65. the aid of
66. preferred to
67. be achieved with
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以《卧虎藏龙》竹林打斗场景为例,阐述借助电脑可棚内制作,但李安偏好实地拍摄及原因。
【64题详解】
考查形容词短语。句意:你肯定对《卧虎藏龙》中竹林顶端激动人心的打斗场面很熟悉。结合下文可知,该空处句意为“对……熟悉”,应用短语be familiar with ,符合此处表达对电影场景熟悉的语境,且情态动词must后应用动词原形。故填be familiar with。
【65题详解】
考查介词短语。句意:在计算机的帮助下,像这样的场景本可以在摄影棚里制作出来。结合下文可知,该空处句意为“……的帮助下”,应用短语the aid of ,而with the aid of... 是固定短语,意思是“在……的帮助下”,在句中表明借助计算机来制作场景。故填the aid of。
【66题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:然而,这部电影的导演李安,更倾向于让演员实地拍摄。结合下文可知,该空处句意为“较喜欢”,应用短语prefer to ,prefer to do sth.表示“更倾向于做某事”,此处表示导演过去的选择倾向,用一般过去时。故填preferred to。
【67题详解】
考查被动语态和固定搭配。句意:他认为这种电影制作方式能创造出一种用计算机生成图像(CGI)特效无法达成的“人与人之间的联系”。空处是which引导定语从句的谓语部分,从句主语which指代先行词a “human connection”,根据语境,a “human connection”与achieve之间是被动关系,即“联系被实现”,结合下文可知,该空处意为“通过……被实现”,应用be achieved with,could not后接动词原形。故填be achieved with。

69. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest’s yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in, lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil. Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part of our lives, who I would never give up.

Esther Wang appeared just hours after the rescue operation to find her was called off for the night. Wang got separated from her hiking group on a trail at Golden Ears Park in British Columbia at around 3 p. m. on Tuesday, June 27. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police(RCMP), about 54 hours after she went missing, the 16-year-old girl showed up from the densely forested and mountainous area at around 9:30 p. m. on June 29, walking out on the very same path she had been traveling.
Sixteen teams were involved in the search from across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland up to the Sea-to-Sky corridor, “She is fine, just extremely tired and sore, bitten by mosquitoes,” RCMP leader Keith Schendel told City News. “So she is going to be taking some time to rest. Her parents had been there from the day’s rescue efforts and she walked pretty much right into their arms.”
According to the letter sent by the girl to CTV News, Wang was filled with hopelessness and fear, but she knew she couldn’t give up. She wrote that she suddenly slipped and hit her head on some rocks at one point and lost her phone during the terrifying situation. She managed to get to a river and then followed the stream to a gravel path which took her to Hiker’s Beach.
But things started to slowly take a turn for the worse until it got better. “I began to feel dizzy, and I started to imagine things in front of me when there clearly wasn’t anyone around me,” she wrote in her letter. “I continued to encourage myself to keep moving forward and not to give up yet. It was around 9:15 p. m. when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.” Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
25. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
26. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study?
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
27. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should EI be taught in school?
B. How can students develop high EI?
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
C
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored (订做的) to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?
A social media echo chamber (社交媒体回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media information that leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media sources. Adding in a few media sources with different opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.
By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
29. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?
A. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
B. People contact like-minded online users effectively.
C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.
30. What does the phrase “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Track. B. Identify.
C. Improve. D. Provide.
31. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?
A. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
B. Criticizing all the things on social media.
C. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
D. Researching primary sources of information.
32. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C. To promote the use of various social media sites.
D. To inform people of new technology developments.

How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____33____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.
Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. ____34____
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. ____35____ Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across.
Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. ____36____ You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down – especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
____37____ When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person.
A. Have a heart-to-heart talk.
B. Challenge the person to act.
C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her.
D. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently on.
E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
F. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment.
G. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard and I understand how you feel?”

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital.
