The following are among the most exciting destinations to visit. Grab your bags and go! Puebla, Mexico Founded in 1931, the Mexico’s fourth-largest city is a stronghold of Baroque architecture. In Puebla’s city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a large number of gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century Baroque buildings. Many are decorated with colored titles, the use of which illustrates the combination of Puebla’s local and European colonial styles. In 2017, an earthquake shook the area, leading to restorations of facilities throughout the city afterward. Despite that, Puebla remains rooted in tradition. Telč, Czech Republic The storybook town was probably founded in the mid-14th century. Stone walls and a system of man-made ponds help protect Telč historic town center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The triangular market square is bordered by a rainbow of light-colored houses, which were originally built of wood and rebuilt in stone after a fire in the late 14th century. Göbekli Tepe, Turkey Estimated to date back to the 10th-9th millennia B．C．E, the monumental limestone pillars at Göbekli Tepe had been hiding in plain sight for several thousand years. The detailed exploration of these giant stones only began in the 1990s. What have been revealed — primarily massive stones decorated with bas-reliefs (浅浮雕) of animal — comprise the world’s oldest known temple complex. The extraordinary discoveries made here have rewritten the story of how the first civilizations began. Guatemala Archaeologists have found long-hidden ruins of an extensive pre-Columbian civilization here, confirming that Guatemala is the place to dive into Mayan culture, then and now. Ancient roots run particularly deep in the northernmost Peten region. In modern, multicultural Guatemala, people with Mayan origin make up about half the population, making the country the only one in Central America with a native cultural majority. 21．Where can tourists enjoy architecture exhibiting a combination of native and foreign styles? A．Guatemala. B．Göbekli Tepe, Turkey. C．Puebla, Mexico. D．Telč, Czech Republic. 22．What has made Guatemala special? A．The long-hidden ruins. B．The deeply rooted Mayan culture. C．The modern and multicultural society. D．The only Central American country with Mayan population. 23．According to the text, what do the above destinations have in common? A．They have historic sites. B．They are in Central America. C．They were once destroyed by fire. D．They were discovered in recent decades. B When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the first 15 days, I was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty dark times.” But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself,” she says. Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar (桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by its size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “As soon as I got on the water, I fell in love with it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.” It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc (椎间盘突出), she was only able to crawl out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she says. “One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an ocean.” After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately. “In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on.” she says. 24．What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic? A．She fell apart and abandoned the task. B．She suffered a lot during the process. C．She was the oldest woman to finish it. D．She rowed along with six other women. 25．How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row? A．Painful. B．Frightened. C．Confident. D．Impressed. 26．What inspired Davies to row across an ocean? A．A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat. B．Support from a boat company. C．Stories of some women adventurers. D．Sufferings from her back pain. 27．Which of the following best describes Davies? A．Caring and open-minded. B．Humble and self-motivated. C．Determined and easy-going. D．Strong-willed and ambitious. C British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design. As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.” Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden inflow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment. Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.” 28．Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers? A．To make Walkers use them once more. B．To exchange them for some new chips. C．To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging. D．To appeal to people not to use the bags. 29．What does the second paragraph mainly show? A．The potential harm of chip bags. B．The cause of animals’ death. C．The production of plastic bags. D．The opinion of Geraint Ashcroft. 30．What is the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Understandable. B．Anxious. C．Significant. D．Responsible. 31．How does Walkers react to the campaign? A．Doubtfully. B．Positively. C．Cautiously. D．Negatively. D Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis. We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ” Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection. Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water. The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading. 32．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion? A．Favorable. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 33．Which statement would the author probably agree with? A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading. B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection. C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain. D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology. 34．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought. B．To stress swimming differs from reading. C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading. D．To illustrate what slow reading is like. 35．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Slow Reading is Here to Stay B．Technology Prevents Slow Reading C．Reflections on Deep Reading D．The Wonder of Deep Reading 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How to Become a More Social Person Socializing is generally considered a pleasant and leisurely activity. ___36___ Here are some ways to help you become a more social person over all.

Although their mother, Leticia Flores­Gonzalez, knew it was something like a message in a bottle, she encouraged her daughters to let their balloons fly in the air in the hope that they would reach Santa. It was a windy day, and she just thought they were going to get lost, or get caught up in a tree. And, while one of the balloons did get lost, the other one reached its destination. It flew all the way to Louisiana, where Alvin Bamburg found it. The man had no idea what the balloon could be bringing with it, but when he read the letter, he decided that he just had to do something. Just like any Santa's helper would do, he prepared to deliver the presents to the sweet girls. But, in order to do so, he had to find them. He went online and, after some serious research, he got in touch with the family. After contacting the mother, he reached out to the family. Together with his friends, he collected all the presents that the girls had asked for. Alvin managed to package most of them and send them to the family. Although the girls were delighted to get their precious presents, one was missing. The girls had also asked for a puppy, but there was no puppy in the package they received. This was Alvin's last and biggest surprise. He got a puppy and drove all the way to the girls' home, about 600 miles away, to deliver the last but greatest gift ever. When the girls saw the man arriving with a dog in his arms, they couldn't hide their excitement. They were so grateful to Santa's helper Alvin for all the gifts he had brought to them. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 “We are very blessed，” the mother said.________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alvin Bamburg was also excited at seeing the girls' happiness.___________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 10 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
