Sometimes she knitted(编织)hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert? ” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 24. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A. To improve their living conditions. B. To inquire their eating habits. C. To ease their loneliness. D. To teach them surviving skills. 25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Speak all the time. B. Blame others’ behaviours. C. Miss important information. D. Hurt your hearing. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother. B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts. C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone. D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world. 27. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. Seniors’ comfort B. Mother’s evenings C. Aging: my concern D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls C Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known tourist attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游)has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China. According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10 times. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year. Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists. “The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor. Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated (被低估了的), lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism. 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The popularity of travel agency in China. B The contributions of tourism to the economy. C. The high income of hotels during holidays. D. The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China. 29. What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism? A. The effect of COVID-19. B. Holidaymakers’ changing needs for travel. C. No improvements in famous spots. D. The cheaper prices of the less-traveled places. 30. What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism? A. It will drop with the recovery of economy. B. It benefits both tourists and the tourism market. C. It is helpful to spread local culture to tourists. D. It stops the development of the famous resorts. 31. What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market? A. Finding the potential and features of less-traveled attractions. B. Improving the management of the local tourism. C. Upgrading the facilities in tourist areas. D. Highlighting the local tourism through media. D Salvador Dali had a strange way of refreshing his mind — “slumber (睡眠) with a key”. In a book, he described how it worked. “You were to grasp a heavy key, hanging above a plate.” Then, he continued, “As you were progressively asleep, the key would slip from your fingers and fall on the plate, awakening you.” He claimed the brief moment spent between wake and sleep would refresh your physical and mental being. Now Dali’s mysterious-sounding method has been, to some degree, proven by science — napping with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot. Delphine Oudiette is a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. She was curious to find out why — so she and her colleagues asked 103 volunteers to complete a series of math problems. Unknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve all the problems. ( Sixteen of the volunteers figured that out and were excluded from the rest of the study. ) The volunteers who didn’t determine the secret were asked to emulate (模仿) Dali’s method — but grasping a plastic bottle with their fingertips rather than a key. Some took a Dali-style micro nap (小睡), some napped longer and others didn’t nap at all. After the nap, the researchers asked all the volunteers to do hundreds more of these math problems. And they found that volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all. Oudiette said, “We think that’s maybe in this short period, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations, which could be helpful for creativity. But at the same time, you still keep some awareness that might help you to recognize when you have a great idea. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. The next step of my work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks to know more about the mechanism — and maybe to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot.” 32. Why did Dali use a heavy key and a plate? A. The key and the plate could help him sleep faster. B. The key and the plate were easy to find in his house. C. The plate could prevent the key slipping onto the floor. D. The key would make a loud noise when hitting the plate. 33. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Dali’s method. B. Oudiette’s study. C. The quick shortcut. D. The maths problem. 34. Which is a fact in Oudiette’s study? A. All the participants didn’t nap in the process. B. Only 16 participants worked out the math problems. C. 87 volunteers tried sleeping with a key in their hands. D. Those who napped were asked not to do the math problems. 35. What can be inferred from Oudiette’s words? A. Sleep and wake have loose associations. B. People have relaxed minds when sleeping. C. Those staying awake did worst in the study. D. She has fortunately found out the root cause. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I believe in daydreaming now and then—especially when I’m hiking. Being in nature allows my mind to wander where it will, which often starts my creativity as a writer and musician. Now some new science suggests that daydreaming may actually make us happier and more creative. ___36___ Daydreaming may be good for creativity Mind—wandering has been associated with creativity for centuries. A study found that people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash. ___37___ —it was just suddenly there. When people’s minds wander in ways that seem meaningful to them, they tend to have more creative ideas and feel more inspired at the end of the day, too. Interestingly, this is true for both writers and everyday people. ___38___ Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood. In this study, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off—task, they generally felt more negative. But if their thoughts were free—moving. It had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier. ___39___ . If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. Can we be better mind—wanderers? Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus. ___40___ . So, just having more control over when mind—wandering happens and the kind of thoughts that you have would be very useful. A. The key is that we do it the right way. B. Mind—wandering can help boost our mood. C. I find that science supports my own experience. D. Taking a break might be good for our productivity E. People didn’t even know how they got to the solution F. I hope people will explore the limits of mind—wandering G.
