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 torn 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 may beat us up unexpectedly sometimes. 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(保险箱). 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. 英语答案 阅读理解：21-23 CAB 24-27 DABD 28-31 ACAD 32-35 CDDB 七选五 EDAFC 完形填空：41-45 CBADD 46-50 BABDA 51-55 CBCCD 语法填空：56. as 57. automatically 58. has continued 59. what 60.

We will invite some experienced teachers to be judges. Anyone who is interested in this activity is welcomed to watch the debate. But you’d better arrive ten minutes earlier than the scheduled time and do not make noise during the competition. The participants have made thorough preparations, and the debate is sure to be a thought-provoking and exciting event that you won’ t want to miss! Looking forward to your active participation. English Club 读后续写： 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。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。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。 One possible version: We were fully prepared at this point to open the safe by force, starting with a drill. The overwhelming tension in the air of the basement weighed heavily on our hearts. Additionally, the boy’s weak breath from the safe brought our hearts into our mouths, which urged us to act quickly. “Stay back and you’ll be alright.” I soothed the helpless boy in a calming voice. Sweats streaming down my cheeks, I examined the safe carefully, pointed the drill to its front door and turned on the drill. As the drill was roaring, I could even sense the parents’ anxious eyes fall on the drill. I knew, from the bottom of my heart, we were all racing against time. Meanwhile, my workmate, focused and determined, was making every attempt to try to input the code. Then, just as we started to make the first cut, my workmate in the correct code. Every click of the safe lock sounded like an ear-catching note. To our disbelief, the safe clicked open. With trembling hands, we swung open the heavy door and inside was the nine-year-old boy, safe and unharmed. What a relief! The boy poking his head out of the safe, thunderous applause and cheers echoed through the basement. The boy’s parents approached the safe and gathered him in their warm embraces, tears of gratitude and relief welling up in their eyes. Mission accomplished perfectly, the family conveyed their hearty thanks to us again and again. An overwhelming wave of pride surged through me. The boy’s narrow escape was a reminder of why I chose to serve in the fire department—to protect and save lives, no matter what happened. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
