Not everyone knows how important it is to sleep in darkness. A new report says sleeping with the light on could be bad for our health. Researchers said around 40% of people sleep with some sort of artificial light. They said even light from a television or an alarm clock could affect our health. Sleeping without any light is more difficult for people who live in cities where there is a lot of outdoor light at night. The researchers are from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, USA. The lead researcher, Dr Phyllis Z, is an expert in sleep medicine. Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar levels of twenty people after nights of sleep. The people who slept with a light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total darkness. Doctor Z said this is because light stimulates brain activity, which raises blood sugar levels. She said there are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness. Turn off the lights, use a light blocking curtain and wear an eye mask. 听下面一段对话，完成以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What does the man suggest the woman see? A. Old buildings. B. National parks. C.

W: I think I’d like to see some of the things that you can’t find in other countries. M: Well, I suggest you see some of our national parks. You’ve got lots of old buildings in your country.

In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories were debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways. This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences for our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories. You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles (周期) , each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM. The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁药) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM. We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions. Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we look at diet and exercise habits. 24. What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams? A. They cause chaos. B. They damage immunity. C. They reveal secrets. D. They mirror reality. 25. Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3? A. To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep. B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours. C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached. D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning. 26 What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Dreaming promotes creativity. B. Dreaming helps fight depression. C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep. D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep. 27. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams. B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us. C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize. D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了卡尔·荣格对梦的看法，阐述了缺乏做梦对人有诸多损害，强调了做梦的重要性。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness.(根据卡尔·荣格的观点，梦揭示了在清醒意识中隐藏的一定量的现实)”可知，卡尔·荣格认为梦反映现实。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest.(你可能认为这只是一个睡眠问题，但做梦与我们的夜间休息是分不开的)”以及后面对于睡眠周期中REM(快速眼动睡眠)和非REM睡眠的描述可知，解释睡眠过程是为了证明做梦问题和睡眠问题是相关联的。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.(例如，2021年的一项研究表明，与安静休息和非快速眼动睡眠相比，快速眼动睡眠促进了联想网络的形成和无关信息的整合。经历更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更有能力解决需要创造性解决方案的问题)”可知，做梦(快速眼动睡眠阶段)能促进创造力。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.(越来越多的报告显示，持续缺乏做梦正在许多方面损害我们的清醒时间)”可知，文章主要强调了缺乏做梦对我们有很糟糕的影响。故选B项。 C Why Subscribe to Reader’s Digest?

There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds. That is a useful topic to explore. Arehitects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realised that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment. Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released, Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death. Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider. 31. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona? A. They proved his theory. B. They recorded a bull-run. C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight. D. They designed a psychological experiment. 32. What was the unexpected finding in the study? A. People slowed down in crowded areas. B. Tripping posed a danger to bull-runners. C. Bulls coming near made people running faster. D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds. 33. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. People lose their mind in disasters. B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider. C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision. D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other. 34. Which is the best title for the text? A. How crowds react to panic B. Bull-runs caught on in Spain C. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the world D. What architects can learn from bull-running 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. B 34. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。在Pamplona，每年有很多人来看“奔牛”，科学家通过研究“奔牛”过程中人们奔跑速度的快慢，发现跑步者的速度随着人群密度的增加而增加，这给了建筑设计师关于城市建设的很多启示。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. (2019年7月，Parisi博士和他的团队前往Pamplona的两个不同的屋顶，拍摄了这些动物被释放出来时人们奔跑的景象)”可知，Parisi和他的团队拍摄了牛被放出来时的场景。故选B项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death. (有些出人意料的是，研究发现，跑步者的速度随着人群密度的增加而增加。这与建筑和城市设计界长期以来的假设相反，即随着人群密度的增加，人们会放慢速度，以降低发生碰撞的风险，因为碰撞可能导致摔倒，甚至受伤或死亡)”可知，研究意外发现，人群密度越大，人们跑得越快。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider. (因此，城市设计师的责任在于研究如何最好地规划未来隧道、桥梁和其他通道的建设去限制流量。唯一的选择很可能是把它们加宽)”可知，未来的桥梁和隧道可能会更宽阔。故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段 “A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds. (一篇刚刚发表在《科学》上的论文描述了对这次活动恐慌人群的心理洞察)”以及最后一段“The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. (因此，城市设计师的责任在于研究如何最好地规划未来隧道、桥梁和其他通道的建设去限制流量)”可知，本篇章不仅是谈论奔牛，而是讨论“奔牛作为观察人们在危险中如何表现的自然实验场景”给建筑设计师的启示。故选D项。 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。 I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. ____35____ So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. ____36____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. ____37____ In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. ____38____ When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____39____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E. I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. 【答案】35. D 36. G 37. C 38. A 39. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是作者作为一位生活在西班牙的外国人，建议人们带游客体验一下当地一些吸引人的、有趣又能代表当地文化的地方。 【35题详解】 根据空后“So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals.(所以我总是试图找到一些既吸引人又有趣的东西，同时又能代表当地文化，并提供与当地人互动的机会)”中的so可知，此空处讲述的内容与空后内容为因果关系，D选项“What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture.(最重要的是体验真正的国家和文化)”中的experiencing the genuine country and culture与空后内容相关，都与体验当地文化相关，且与空后内容为因果关系。故选D项。 【36题详解】 根据空后的“Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide.(因为我的西班牙语说得比较流利，所以我可以向人们收取费用，这样我就可以成为一名正式导游)”可知，此处讲述的是作者因西班牙语说的很流利而成为正式的导游，G选项“I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers.(我经常被要求提供人们提供旅游，既有朋友也有陌生人)”讲述的内容与作者作导游相关。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据空前的“I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have.(但我选择不这么做，因为对我来说，最重要的是确保那些已经花了很多时间和金钱来到我所在的地方的游客，能尽可能地享受到乐趣和文化体验)”可知，作者认为最重要的是确保游客体验到该有的乐趣和文化体验，结合空后“In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost.(在这种情况下,游客们可以以最低的成本进一步研究当地文化)”可知，那样的话，游客就能以最低的价格体验当地文化，由其中的in that case可推断，此空处是使游客能以最低的价格体验当地文化的方式，C选项“It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them.(它还可以帮我与他们创建一个终身关系)”中的them与空前的they指代一致，且与空后的in that case指代内容相关。故先C项。 【38题详解】 分析语篇可知，此空处为本段的主题，根据空后的“When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them.(当有人来你的地区旅游时，不要只带他们去旅游景点。带他们去那些对你有意义的地方。通过你带他们去的地方和你给他们的经历，向他们展示你的心)”可知，本段讲述的是有人去你所在的地区，不要带他们去景点，你可以带他们去你觉得有意义的地方，结合上一段中讲述的作者带他游客去他所在地区体验当地文化可知，该段讲述的与上文作者的做法一样，A选项“Everyone can do the same.(每个人都可以做同样的事情)”概括了本段的内容，且起到了承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据空前的“It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again.(这是一个你和游客可能永远不会再获得的时刻)”可知，此处讲述的是这是与游客很可能永远不会获得的时间，F选项“Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.(不要匆忙的体验，彻底享受和那人在一起的每一刻)”中的“enjoy every moment with that person.”与空前的内容吻合，其中的that person与空前的the tourist指代一致。故选F项。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last June I worked as a volunteer in a remote Aboriginal community.

Thankfully, one homeless man’s note was about to get found by someone willing to help turn his life around. Anthony Johnson is a 36-year-old who had been living without a home in England. Sadly, his time on the streets meant that Anthony struggled to find work. He soon decided to leave a note at a bus shelter asking anyone to give him a chance so he could make his life worth living. It turned out that Anthony had once got caught up with the wrong crowd. Although he has turned his life around, Anthony had no way of making money and couldn’t afford a home. To top it off, Anthony had also been battling his mental health in the last few years and just needed a chance to make it for himself. It wasn’t until 16-year-old Charlotte Howard saw the note that everything started to change. Charlotte wanted to help Anthony in his quest to turn things around and decided to start a GoFundMe page. Here, the teen hoped to raise almost $400-$130 to buy a trailer and the rest to cover the cost of the repairs. It didn’t take long for Charlotte’s post to take the nation by storm, and the page soon had more donations than the teen ever imagined. In just six days, Charlotte had blown her initial goal out of the water as the page had received more than $2,300 in donations. It was way more than either of the pair ever expected. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unbelievably, the generosity didn’t end there. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Charlotte Howard came up with a new idea about how to use the rest of the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Unbelievably, the generosity didn’t end there. The money was only the beginning as Anthony soon found himself with a brand new job offer from Nelson Smith. Now, Anthony will be able to put his skills to good use as a landscape gardener. This is merely the beginning of a huge change for Anthony—all thanks to Charlotte’s generosity. Charlotte Howard came up with a new idea about how to use the rest of the money. Inspired by Anthony’s story, Charlotte Howard began to offer more help to more homeless people. With other people’s help he founded a tiny organization to offer training to homeless people and bought necessary equipment. Anthony is invited to give training lessons about gardening skills. He is greatly encouraged while he encourages others. The new job not only has improved his living conditions but also has lifted up his spirits, bringing out the best in him. Starting the page might have been a small thought by Charlotte, but it was about to change Anthony’s life forever. Sometimes, those small acts of kindness really can change the world. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的夏洛特为了帮助36岁的无家可归的安东尼，建立了一个GoFundMe的网站，为他捐款。没想到此事在网络上引起强烈反响，筹集了大量善款，并且安东尼的工作也有了起色。受安东尼故事的启发，夏洛特用剩下的钱开始为更多无家可归的人提供帮助。有时候小小的善举真的可以改变世界。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令人难以置信的是，这种慷慨还没有到此为止。”可知，第一段可描写安东尼的生活也发生了巨大改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“夏洛特·霍华德对如何使用剩下的钱有了一个新的想法。”可知，第二段可描写夏洛特利用这笔多余的钱成立了一个组织，为更多无家可归的人提供帮助。 2.续写线索： 安东尼得到新工作——用多余钱成立组织——安东尼受邀教授园艺——安东尼一生彻底被改变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer/provide/supply ②改进：improve/promote ③成立：found/establish/set up 情绪类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire/stimulate ②善意：kindness /good deed 【点睛】[高分句型1] The money was only the beginning as Anthony soon found himself with a brand new job offer from Nelson Smith.（运用了as引导的原因状语从句） [高分句型2].

When Life Gives You Mangos by Kereen Getten A moving new middle grade novel, When Life Gives You Mangos centers the perspective of a young girl named Clara who lives on an island in Jamaica, a favorite place for tourists who throw around words like “exotic” about Clara’s home. Since last summer’s hurricane, though, the tourists are thinning out, and the biggest talk is about a new girl who’s moving to the island, whom Clara can’t wait to meet. A moving story about family, friendship, and resilience, it will also spark important conversations about traveling to others’ homes.

B Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories were debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways. This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences for our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories. You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles (周期) , each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM. The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁药) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM. We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions. Rowan Hooper the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we look at diet and exercise habits. 24. What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams? A. They cause chaos. B. They damage immunity. C. They reveal secrets. D. They mirror reality. 25. Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3? A. To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep. B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours. C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached. D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning. 26. What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. Dreaming promotes creativity. B. Dreaming helps fight depression. C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep. D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep. 27. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams. B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us. C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize. D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.

D Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds. That is a useful topic to explore. Arehitects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realised that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment. Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released, Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death. Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider. 31. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona? A. They proved his theory. B. They recorded a bull-run. C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight. D. They designed a psychological experiment. 32. What was the unexpected finding in the study? A. People slowed down in crowded areas. B. Tripping posed a danger to bull-runners. C. Bulls coming near made people running faster. D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds. 33. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. People lose their mind in disasters. B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider. C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision. D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other. 34. Which is the best title for the text? A. How crowds react to panic B. Bull-runs caught on in Spain C. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the world D. What architects can learn from bull-running 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。 I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. ____35____ So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. ____36____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. ____37____ In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. ____38____ When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____39____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E. I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last June I worked as a volunteer in a remote Aboriginal community.

Thankfully, one homeless man’s note was about to get found by someone willing to help turn his life around. Anthony Johnson is a 36-year-old who had been living without a home in England. Sadly, his time on the streets meant that Anthony struggled to find work. He soon decided to leave a note at a bus shelter asking anyone to give him a chance so he could make his life worth living. It turned out that Anthony had once got caught up with the wrong crowd. Although he has turned his life around, Anthony had no way of making money and couldn’t afford a home. To top it off, Anthony had also been battling his mental health in the last few years and just needed a chance to make it for himself. It wasn’t until 16-year-old Charlotte Howard saw the note that everything started to change. Charlotte wanted to help Anthony in his quest to turn things around and decided to start a GoFundMe page. Here, the teen hoped to raise almost $400-$130 to buy a trailer and the rest to cover the cost of the repairs. It didn’t take long for Charlotte’s post to take the nation by storm, and the page soon had more donations than the teen ever imagined. In just six days, Charlotte had blown her initial goal out of the water as the page had received more than $2,300 in donations. It was way more than either of the pair ever expected. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unbelievably, the generosity didn’t end there. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Charlotte Howard came up with a new idea about how to use the rest of the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听下面对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Open your mouth wide, Sarah, i'll have your teeth checked.

Not everyone knows how important IT is to sleep in darkness. A new report says sleeping with the light on could be bad for our health, researchers said. Around forty percent of people sleep with some sort of artificial light, they said. Even late from a television or an alarm clock could affect our health. Sleeping without any light is more difficult for people who live in cities where there is a lot of outdoor light at night. The researchers are from the northwestern university fineberg school of medicine in chicago. You are saying the lead researcher, doctor filus z, is an expert in sleep medicine. Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar level of twenty people. After nights of sleep, the people who slept with the light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total darkness, doctor z said. This is because light stimulates brain activity, which raises blood sugar levels, SHE said. There are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness. Turn off the lights, use a light blocking curtain and wear an eyemouth. Well, everyone knows that goods sleep is important for our health.
