(费用：往返巴士票价及景点门票150元；往返巴士票价75元。)”可知，去西塘镇的150元票包含了进城的门票。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据*Two Days of Yellow Mountain中“Sundays to the following Thursdays Standard Hotel Room Stay: CNY 318 (周日到接下来的周四 标准酒店房间住宿：318元)”可知，星期二开始的黄山标准游票价是318元。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Note:中“South Railway Station Branch Address: South Long Distance Bus Station, No. 666, Shilong Road, Xuhui District(南站分站 地址：徐汇区石龙路666号长途汽车南站)”可知，在石龙路上的人到南站分站买票最快。故选B项。 B When Joy Ryan set out to visit all 63 national parks with her grandson Brad, traveling during a global pandemic wasn’t on the to-do list. But seven years—and countless hours spent in the air and on the road—later, the 93-year-old grandma and her grandson have reached their final and most remote destination: the National Park of American Samoa. In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. He invited her on a road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is between North Carolina and Tennessee, and after that, the pair kept planning more trips. The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between. “We took a two-day break in Oahu before boarding our final flight to Pago Pago, American Samoa, on Monday. Three flights and nearly seventeen flying hours were required before we touched down in American Samoa on Monday evening,” Brad said. Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks. “Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.” 24. What inspired Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad to start their journey? A. A goal to visit the most remote parks. B. A desire to escape the global pandemic. C. A friend’s invitation to explore the South Pacific. D. Brad’s realization that Joy hadn’t been to a mountain. 25. What was the pair’s biggest challenge on the journey to the South Pacific? A. The long distance. B. The inconvenient transport. C. The financial burden. D. Their lacking in experience. 26. Why is visiting the National Park of American Samoa a significant achievement for Joy Ryan? A. It marks the end of a difficult journey during the pandemic. B. She achieved her personal goal of visiting all national parks. C. It was done with the company of her grandson. D. She became the first person to visit all national parks. 27. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. It is never too old for us to learn new things. B. It is wise and thrilling to pursue practical goals. C. Family members are those who we can always rely on. D. Passion and intention lead to remarkable accomplishments. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述美国老奶奶Joy Ryan，在孙子的陪伴下游览美国全部63个国家公园的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. （2015年，他们的旅程开始了，当时布拉德发现他的祖母从未亲自去过一座山。)”可知，布拉德意识到乔伊并没有去过山，这激励乔伊·瑞安和她的孙子布拉德开始他们的旅程。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between.(前往南太平洋的旅程并不轻松。美属萨摩亚国家公园是美国唯一位于赤道以南的国家公园，也是距离乔伊居住的俄亥俄州最远的国家公园。这对冒险的两人在经历了近三天的旅行后，于周一晚些时候降落。)”可知，遥远的距离是两人南太平洋之旅中面临的最大挑战。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks.(布拉德继续说，参观63号国家公园是一个“苦乐参半”的里程碑。这标志着他们的使命结束，也是乔伊的历史性成就，她正式成为参观所有63个国家公园的最年长的人。)”可知，参观美属萨摩亚国家公园对乔伊·瑞安来说是一项重大成就是因为她实现了参观所有国家公园的个人目标。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.”(布拉德说:“站在美属萨摩亚的终点线上证明，如果你带着激情和纯粹的意图去追求，看似不可能的目标实际上是可能的。”“乔伊奶奶教会了这个世界，你永远不会太老，不能出现在你梦想中的冒险生活中。这是我一生中最大的荣幸，当乔伊奶奶创造了历史，成为实现这一目标的最年长的人。”)”可知，最后一段作者主要想表达热情和决心带来非凡的成就。故选D。 C Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 28. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of. C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on. 29. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division. C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting? A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process. C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness? B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time? C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting? D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting? 【答案】28 A 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍各个领域的研究人员对切蛋糕这一问题的本质和方法的研究以及切蛋糕的规则在解决现实问题中的应用。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. (切蛋糕是一个数学问题的核心，它将严格的推理与现实世界的公平问题联系在一起，因此不仅吸引了数学家，也吸引了社会科学家、经济学家等。Procaccia说：“这是一个非常优雅的模型，在这个模型中，你可以distill出什么是公平，并对此进行推理。”)”可知，这里说明人们可以通过切蛋糕问题来提炼理解什么是公平，所以distill的意思应该是“提炼”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. (但当考虑到个人偏好时，即使是最简单的规则也会变得复杂。假设爱丽丝和鲍勃要分一块蛋糕，爱丽丝知道鲍勃更喜欢巧克力，她可能会故意把蛋糕分得不相等，这样小的一块含有更多的巧克力。然后鲍勃会根据自己的喜好进行选择，爱丽丝会得到更大的一块。他们都对所得到的感到满意，但公平的意义在这种情况下发生了变化。)”可知，公平这一概念是很复杂的。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms(算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. (蛋糕是任何可分割商品的象征。当切蛋糕的原则被用来解决分歧时，它们有可能帮助世界找到解决方案。Procaccia使用公平分配算法对食物分配进行建模。社会科学家Haris Aziz正在探索各种情况，从如何分配日常任务到如何最好地安排医生在医院的轮班。)”可知，这一段主要介绍切蛋糕规则的应用。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. (Ariel Procaccia在过去的15年里思考了很多关于如何切蛋糕的问题。作为三个孩子的父亲，他知道要让每个人都满意地分一个生日蛋糕有多难。但这也是因为Procaccia的工作专注于探索公平划分事物的数学规则。一种方法是抽象地思考甜点。)”和最后一段“Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle(拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. (即使经过几十年的调查，切蛋糕也不像一个简单的拼图游戏，有明确的解决方案。相反，随着时间的推移，它已经演变成一种数学沙盒，一个将抽象证明和简单应用程序结合在一起的建设性游乐场。研究人员对它的探索越多，就越有探索的余地。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍研究者为什么对切蛋糕问题感兴趣。故选D。 D A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was tom apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?” Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind set” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest. 32. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to? A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism. B. Those tired of working all night in the library. C. Those believing hard work surely pay off. D. Those overprotected by their parents in life. 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids. B. The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases. C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance. D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends. 34. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life? A. By choosing where to go to college for them. B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality. C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard. D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Students should not expect too much from their study. B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily. C. Students should bear all the failures on their own. D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了年轻人认为的努力肯定会有回报有时候不一定是正确的，心理学家将这种现象归因于对“心态”研究的误用，该研究发现，表扬孩子的努力会提高他们的学习成绩。残酷而混乱的现实是，你可以尽你所能做任何事情，但仍然失败。对此父母可以鼓励孩子们坚持他们真正热爱的有价值的事业来帮助孩子克服生活中的障碍。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. ”(我教过的许多学生，比如这位运动员，都认为在图书馆里通宵学习，在赛场上训练几个小时，应该能让他们达到目的。当他们没有达到他们认为应该达到的目标时，他们就会被自责击垮)可知，这位明星运动员属于那些相信努力工作肯定会有回报的人。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But a 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. ”(但2018年的一项分析发现，尽管称赞努力胜过能力可能有利于高风险或经济困难的学生，但这并不一定对每个人都有帮助)可知，是否表扬孩子的努力而不是能力对孩子有好处取决于实际情况。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. ”(有人建议家长和老师花时间帮助学生找到目标，或他们真正喜欢追求的、对世界产生影响的目标，这可能会帮助他们获得更大的生活满意度，在心理上变得更成熟)可知，父母可以鼓励孩子们坚持他们真正热爱的、有价值的事业来帮助孩子克服生活中的障碍。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s often the people who learn to say ‘stuff happens’ who get up the fastest. ”(往往是那些学会说“世事无常”的人最快地行动起来)可知，有积极态度的学生更容易前进。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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. ___36___ Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. ___37___ Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ___38___ In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. ___39___ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. ___40___ While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. A 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在虚拟世界中，如何通过肢体语言在视频会议中留下积极印象。 【36题详解】 由上文“As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. (作为社交生物，我们自然地将肢体语言解释为现实生活中情绪或意图的表达。)”及下文“Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. (以下是四个肢体语言方面的考虑，它们将在视频通话中给你带来更大的数字影响力。)”可知，本空应连接现实生活中的肢体语言和虚拟世界中的肢体语言，表明两者都适用。E选项“This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. (这也适用于我们带有常见视频通话的虚拟工作环境。)”能够很好地起到这个连接作用，说明肢体语言在现实生活和虚拟世界中都有重要意义。故选E。 【37题详解】 由上文“The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. (你保持自己的方式会影响别人对你的看法。)”及下文“Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. (同样，瘫倒在沙发上会传达出对任务不认真的态度。)”可知，本空与下文一样，应用一个具体的例子来说明肢体语言如何影响他人对你的看法。D选项“For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. (例如，双臂交叉可能意味着防御或恼怒。)”提供了一个具体的肢体语言例子，能够很好地支持上文观点，并引出下文类似的例子，符合题意。故选D。 【38题详解】 由下文“In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. (在视频通话中，你需要意识到少即是多。太多的手部动作会在小屏幕上分散注意力——人们需要时间来消化他们听到的内容。)”可知，本空需强调重视视频通话中手部动作。A选项“Master the art of employing gestures. (掌握运用手势的艺术。)”说明在视频通话中如何恰当地使用手势，能引出下文，符合题意。故选A。 【39题详解】 由上文“But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. (但在视频会议中，当你出现“面无表情综合征”时，要传达出你一直在注意听是很具挑战性的——这种面部表情会被别人解读为无聊。)”可知，本空应提出解决“面无表情综合征”的建议。F选项“To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. (为了避免这种情况，记得偶尔点头、微笑和向前倾。)”提供了一个具体的解决方法，能够很好地应对上文提到的问题，符合题意。故选F。 【40题详解】 由上文“Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. (保持专注和积极——不要同时处理多项任务。加入视频通话时，不要查看电子邮件或处理其他工作任务。)”可知，本空应强调在视频通话中不要分心。C选项“Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. (即使你保持沉默，别人也能看出你在做什么。)”虽然字面上没有直接提到不要分心，但暗示了在视频通话中你的行为（如查看邮件或处理其他任务）是会被别人观察到的，从而强调了不要分心的重要性，符合题意。故选C。 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。 After a recent business trip, I was heading back to my home in Northern California.

We got an alert (警报) around 8:25pm that Friday and rushed to the fire engine, where the printout from the dispatcher (调度员) said there was a nine-year-old boy locked in a safe. I asked myself: if it were a safe, would it be airtight? I was aware that it might already be too late by the time we arrived. I had to plan for a bad outcome. On the other hand, if we were in time, how long would it take us to open the safe? I knew it would be an incredibly difficult task. It’s what safes are designed for—not to be opened. It took less than five minutes to reach the property. When I saw a woman crying on the street, I knew the situation was serious. She was the boy’s mother and she led us into the basement. She told us the boy was alive and we started talking to him; he was very calm. We asked how it had happened: during a game of hide and seek with his five-year-old brother, he had thought the safe would be a good place to hide. The boy’s parents had got the house from his mother’s father. The unlocked safe had been there when they moved in and was in an area they didn’t use much. The boy’s little brother had shut the safe, then, when he couldn’t open it again. The only person who knew the combination was the boy’s late grandfather. From the outset, the biggest priority was getting oxygen to the boy. We got oxygen from the hospital. The boy said that he could feel a thin stream of air. I asked his parents if anyone had opened the safe before and they said no. So we had to guess a six-digit code (密码). We started typing them in—but we had to wait 10 minutes between each attempt before we could try again. So quickly we tried them all. No luck. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 We were fully prepared at this point to open the safe by force, starting with a drill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, just as we started to make the first cut, my workmate typed in the correct code. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 We were fully prepared at this point to open the safe by force, starting with a drill. We taught the boy to put his hands over his ears while we were drilling and to take them off only when we shook the safe. He was sweaty and his clothes were wet from breathing in that tiny space for so long. But he was so calm the whole time, following our commands and talking to us. We made a hole in the back. It was dangerous, but I was confident that we could get him out safely. Then, just as we started to make the first cut, my workmate typed in the correct code. We’d asked the mother again to write down any significant date and it turned out to be her brother’s birthday. We were amazed. We had been trying for three hours and now all of a sudden this little boy was standing in front of me, rubbing his eyes. His parents were so happy that he was out. He had a hug with his tearful mother, a checkup from the doctor, and then went for a shower happily. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在柏林消防局的一个地方消防站工作，有一个星期五晚上他们接到求助，一个男孩在捉迷藏的时候不小心被关在了保险箱里，唯一知道密码的人是男孩已故的爷爷，作者他们从医院拿了氧气给小男孩，作者他们只能猜一个六位数的密码，在试完可能的密码后还是没能打开保险箱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们当时已经做好了充分的准备，可以用钻头强行打开保险箱。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们试图强行打开保险箱的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，就在我们开始第一次切割时，我的同事输入了正确的代码。”可知，第二段可描写男孩出来后全家的反应。 2.续写线索：叫男孩捂住耳朵——男孩出汗——男孩很平静——作者他们钻了个洞——找到密码——男孩出来——男孩父母高兴——拥抱妈妈——男孩去医院检查 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①教：teach/instruct ②钻洞：make a hole/drill a hole ③拥抱：have a hug with sb./give sb. a hug 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazed/surprised ②高兴：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] We taught the boy to put his hands over his ears while we were drilling and to take them off only when we shook the safe.

B When Joy Ryan set out to visit all 63 national parks with her grandson Brad, traveling during a global pandemic wasn’t on the to-do list. But seven years—and countless hours spent in the air and on the road—later, the 93-year-old grandma and her grandson have reached their final and most remote destination: the National Park of American Samoa. In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. He invited her on a road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is between North Carolina and Tennessee, and after that, the pair kept planning more trips. The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between. “We took a two-day break in Oahu before boarding our final flight to Pago Pago, American Samoa, on Monday. Three flights and nearly seventeen flying hours were required before we touched down in American Samoa on Monday evening,” Brad said. Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks. “Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.” 24. What inspired Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad to start their journey? A. A goal to visit the most remote parks. B. A desire to escape the global pandemic. C. A friend’s invitation to explore the South Pacific. D. Brad’s realization that Joy hadn’t been to a mountain. 25. What was the pair’s biggest challenge on the journey to the South Pacific? A. The long distance. B. The inconvenient transport. C. The financial burden. D. Their lacking in experience. 26. Why is visiting the National Park of American Samoa a significant achievement for Joy Ryan? A. It marks the end of a difficult journey during the pandemic. B. She achieved her personal goal of visiting all national parks. C. It was done with the company of her grandson. D. She became the first person to visit all national parks. 27. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. It is never too old for us to learn new things. B. It is wise and thrilling to pursue practical goals. C. Family members are those who we can always rely on. D. Passion and intention lead to remarkable accomplishments. C Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 28. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of. C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on. 29. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division. C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting? A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process. C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness? B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time? C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting? D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting? D A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was tom apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?” Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind set” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest. 32 Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to? A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism. B. Those tired of working all night in the library. C. Those believing hard work surely pay off. D. Those overprotected by their parents in life. 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids. B. The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases. C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance. D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends. 34. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life? A By choosing where to go to college for them. B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality. C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard. D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Students should not expect too much from their study. B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily. C. Students should bear all the failures on their own. D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best. 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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. ___36___ Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. ___37___ Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ___38___ In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. ___39___ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. ___40___ While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 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。 After a recent business trip, I was heading back to my home in Northern California.

We got an alert (警报) around 8:25pm that Friday and rushed to the fire engine, where the printout from the dispatcher (调度员) said there was a nine-year-old boy locked in a safe. I asked myself: if it were a safe, would it be airtight? I was aware that it might already be too late by the time we arrived. I had to plan for a bad outcome. On the other hand, if we were in time, how long would it take us to open the safe? I knew it would be an incredibly difficult task. It’s what safes are designed for—not to be opened. It took less than five minutes to reach the property. When I saw a woman crying on the street, I knew the situation was serious. She was the boy’s mother and she led us into the basement. She told us the boy was alive and we started talking to him; he was very calm. We asked how it had happened: during a game of hide and seek with his five-year-old brother, he had thought the safe would be a good place to hide. The boy’s parents had got the house from his mother’s father. The unlocked safe had been there when they moved in and was in an area they didn’t use much. The boy’s little brother had shut the safe, then, when he couldn’t open it again. The only person who knew the combination was the boy’s late grandfather. From the outset, the biggest priority was getting oxygen to the boy. We got oxygen from the hospital. The boy said that he could feel a thin stream of air. I asked his parents if anyone had opened the safe before and they said no. So we had to guess a six-digit code (密码). We started typing them in—but we had to wait 10 minutes between each attempt before we could try again. So quickly we tried them all. No luck. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 We were fully prepared at this point to open the safe by force, starting with a drill. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, just as we started to make the first cut, my workmate typed in the correct code. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifty others had broken windows. One person was killed and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether, over two hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm, a farmer said. The storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his children when they heard a loud noise.
