Many cause property damage and loss of life. But researchers say the severity (严重性) of their effects can be reduced if people take steps to prepare. A new exhibit teaches what governments and individuals can do to lessen the effects. Chrysanthe Broikos organized the exhibit at the National Building Museum. She says large buildings and other structures can survive strong earthquakes if they are built with some level of flexibility. In other words, they need to be able to bend and move as the earth shakes. “We need to let buildings move and we can actually understand where they might fail, and then go in and design buildings with that in mind.” One building design is called a “special moment frame”. It enables movement at points where large load-bearing supports join each other. Rubber-based foundation blocks let buildings move, while huge shock absorbers (缓冲器) help to limit the shaking. The museum exhibit has a model of a wind wall. The model shows how some roofs or tops of buildings are more likely to be destroyed than others because of the strong winds of hurricanes. Chrysanthe Broikos says tests show that a reasonable angled roof is best able to withstand wind storms. In areas with powerful winds, researchers have strongly urged the creation of at least one “safe room”. This is a place where building occupants can spend the most dangerous part of the storm. Another concern is how to deal with storms and flooding. Some coastal communities in the U.S. have made artificial reefs from oysters (牡蛎) shells instead of rocks. The builders use shells collected from restaurants to create the barriers. Chrysanthe Broikos also suggests setting aside land along the coast for parks instead of housing. She says this is more natural and keeps valuable property away from danger. As for forest fires, researchers now suggest clearing an area about 60 meters wide around a single-family house. “What that means is trying to keep that area free of material that easily burns.” 1. What does Chrysanthe Broikos think about the buildings that can survive strong earthquakes? A. They should be fixed enough. B. Their height needs to be reasonable. C. Their location is the most important. D. They are mobile and bendable. 2. What does the underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refer ? A. Lessening the effects. B. Where they might fail. C. Designing buildings. D. Special moment frame. 3. Which of the following belongs to the measures to deal with storms and flooding ? A. Don’t build houses along the coast. B. Set aside land for parking cars. C. Make artificial reefs from rocks. D. Raise oysters in large number. 4. What is the passage mainly about ? A. Different types of natural disasters. B. Preparations for natural disasters. C. Reactions to natural disasters. D. Effects of natural disasters. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了如果人们做好准备，可以降低自然灾害影响的严重程度。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She says large buildings and other structures can survive strong earthquakes if they are built with some level of flexibility. In other words, they need to be able to bend and move as the earth shakes.(她说，大型建筑和其他结构如果在建造时具有一定程度的灵活性，就可以在强震中幸存下来。换句话说，它们需要能够在地震时弯曲和移动)”可知，Chrysanthe Broikos认为可移动和可弯曲的建筑能在强震中幸存下来。故选D项。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。分析划线单词，可知是代词，代指前文提到的人或事，根据第三段“We need to let buildings move and we can actually understand where they might fail, and then go in and design buildings with that in mind.(我们需要让建筑移动，这样我们才能真正了解它们可能会在哪里倒塌，然后在设计建筑时考虑到这一点)”可知，that代指的是“它们可能会在哪里倒塌”。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Another concern is how to deal with storms and flooding. Some coastal communities in the U.S. have made artificial reefs from oysters shells instead of rocks. The builders use shells collected from restaurants to create the barriers. Chrysanthe Broikos also suggests setting aside land along the coast for parks instead of housing.(另一个问题是如何应对风暴和洪水。美国的一些沿海社区用牡蛎壳代替岩石制作了人工珊瑚礁。建造者使用从餐馆收集的贝壳来建造屏障。Chrysanthe Broikos还建议将沿海的土地留作公园而不是住宅)”可知，Chrysanthe Broikos建议不要沿着海岸建房子。故选A项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Natural disasters happen everywhere in the world. Many cause property damage and loss of life. But researchers say the severity of their effects can be reduced if people take steps to prepare.(自然灾害发生在世界各地。许多事故造成财产损失和生命损失。但研究人员表示，如果人们做好准备，其影响的严重程度可以降低)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是为自然灾害作准备。故选B项。 B Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists. The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling. The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21％ and when these feelings coincided(巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18％. The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion-and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ￡185m a year in mental health costs, for example. The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind search app. More than 750 people provided 16,600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive(兴旺).” 5. How was the research conducted? A. By relying on people’s memory. B. By surveying 750 paricipants. C. By collecting data through a smartphone app. D. By checking a worldwide representative sample. 6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Many big cities take the lead in the research. B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being. C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people. D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially. 7. What ean be inferred about the research? A. The findings are statistically markable. B. It offers a wide range of samples globally. C. The carefully selected participants are Defiable. D. Many factors are considered except eduction. 8. What’s the text mainly about? A. The mental problems of living in big cities. B. Reducing loncliness in cities via contact with nature. C. Developing urban habitats at a high speod. D. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature. 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. A 8. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究表明可以通过与大自然接触来减少城市里的孤独感。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.(它使用通过智能手机应用程序收集的实时数据，而不是依靠人们对自己感觉的记忆)”可知，研究是通过智能手机应用收集数据。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ￡ 185m a year in mental health costs, for example.(众所周知，花时间在大自然中可以提高幸福感，例如，在林地里散步估计每年给英国节省至少节省￡185心理健康的花费)”可知，减少孤独感的干预措施在经济上对英国有利。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant.(但当研究人员将年龄、教育和职业考虑在内时，自然接触和社会包容感对孤独的益处在统计学上也有着重大的意义)”可知，这项研究从统计学上讲，有着明显的好处。故选A。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.(一组科学家表示，孤独是一种严重的心理健康问题，可能会使死亡风险提高45%，而在城市中接触大自然可以显著减少孤独感)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究表明可以通过与大自然接触来减少城市里的孤独感。故选B。 C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 9. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 10. According to paragraph 3 there is a mismatch between . A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 11. What does the author suggest readers do? A Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment. 12. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups 【答案】9. D 10. C 11. B 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知，如果他们在吃之前等待15分钟，他们将得到第二次奖励)”可知, 在测试中，孩子们需要在吃之前等待15分钟才能得到第二次奖励。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. (但是，当我们重塑了我们周围的世界，大大减少了获取卡路里的成本和努力时，我们的大脑仍然和几千年前一样，这种不匹配是我们这么多人努力抵抗我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知，丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此，就像我们需要更仔细地考虑我们的热量消耗一样，我们也需要更仔细地考虑我们的信息消耗，抵制精神“垃圾食品”的诱惑, 以便最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知，作者建议读者做选择性信息消费者。故选 B。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We‘re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人，我们每天都要面对棉花糖测试。诱惑我们的不是甜食，而是我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑——所有这些将我们与全球信息传递系统连接起来的设备，它们对我们的作用就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童的作用一样)”结合文章主要内容可知，文章主语介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。 D选项“成人棉花糖测试”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 If you feel that your sense of time has changed recently, you are not alone. Ottawa's Christina Chenard is one of those folks whose sense of time has been changed, and it has changed her life for the better. Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.___13___ "This moment has made us all pay much attention to things that truly matter in life, and changed our relationship to work," says Ashley Whillans, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. Here are four tips to create time affluence（富足）from Whillans. Catalog（记录）it In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going___14___Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results. Probably, far too much time is being spent on unproductive periods like travelling to and from work; or doing what you really dislike, mainly because you think you have to. ___15___ Yes, you can essentially devote more free time to yourself, by employing others to help with the things you dislike —like, say, cleaning your house. It will cost you some money, but if you can afford it, the effect on your life happiness will be wildly tremendous. Reshape your workday Making time-first decisions could change what your office life looks like. If your day is filled with long-time meetings, perhaps there are some you could skip. If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.___16___ Leisure time matters The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.___17___But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies. A. Buy more time. B. The same holds true for time. C. Reallocate your hours purposefully. D. That is "passive" leisure, and it is fine within reasonable limits. E. And you are creating large amounts of new space in your calendar. F. She sleeps more, commutes less and spends more quality time with her family. G. It doesn't necessarily require major life changes, like giving up your job or retiring early. 【答案】13. F 14. B 15. A 16. E 17. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何管理时间的方法技巧。 【13题详解】 上文“Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.（在疫情爆发前，她总是像无头苍蝇一样到处乱跑: 起得特别早，把两个孩子送到托儿所，然后赶着去参加会议，最后回到家里“崩溃，重新开始”。现在她主要在家工作，时间也变多了）”讲到Christina Chenard现在的时间变多了，说明她应是可以有更多时间睡觉，通勤时间也更少，能与家人共度更多美好时光。设空处位于段尾，有总结上文，承接上文的作用。F项“She sleeps more, commutes less and spends more quality time with her family”与上文一致。故选F。 【14题详解】 上文“In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going.（在回顾你的财务生活时，第一件事就是弄清楚你的钱都花到哪里去了）”，以及下文“Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results.（写下你每天是如何度过的，精确到每分钟，然后仔细看看结果）”，结合设空处位于段中，起到承上启下的作用，说明设空处应是讲“正如回顾你的财务，第一件事就是弄清楚你的钱都花到哪里去了，时间也是如此”。B项“The same holds true for time.”与上文并列，与下文内容一致。故选B。 【15题详解】 下文“Yes, you can essentially devote more free time to yourself, by employing others to help with the things you dislike —like, say, cleaning your house. It will cost you some money, but if you can afford it, the effect on your life happiness will be wildly tremendous.（是的，你可以从本质上把更多的空闲时间留给自己，通过雇佣别人来帮助做你不喜欢的事情，比如，打扫你的房子。这样做会花你一些钱，但如果你负担得起，它会给你的生活带来巨大的影响）”可知，本段主要内容为通过花钱雇佣别人来帮助做自己不喜欢的事情，更多的空闲时间留给自己。设空处位于文章段落小标题处，应是彰显段落大意。A项“Buy more time.”概况全段内容，与下文一致。故选A。 【16题详解】 上文“Making time-first decisions could change what your office life looks like. If your day is filled with long-time meetings, perhaps there are some you could skip. If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.（时间优先的决定可能会改变你的办公室生活。如果你的一天充满了长时间的会议，也许有一些你可以跳过。如果你的办公室重新开张，也许你可以和雇主讨论一周在家工作几天的问题。把这一年节省的时间加起来）”讲的是如何节省时间，制作时间优先的决定。设空处位于段尾，对上文起总结作用，说明设空处应是上文做法得到的结果。E项“creating large amounts of new space in your calendar”与上文一致。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.（拥有更多属于自己的时间并不意味着你可以在智能手机上玩游戏或打瞌睡）”以及下文“But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies.（但是你应该追求更多被证明能产生真正快乐的“积极”休闲活动，比如和朋友一起吃饭、做志愿者、锻炼或从事你最喜欢的爱好）”可知，玩游戏或打瞌睡是不积极的、消极的消遣行为。设空处与下文成转折关系，设空处承上启下。D项“That is "passive" leisure”与上文一致，“it is fine within reasonable limits”与下文一致。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分37.5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。 A willing heart, a summer hot day and some ice-cold lemonade can make a difference.

Never give up!” chanted two young children, Max and Lily, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi who was leading them on a great adventure, straight off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. They were seeking the mysterious ice-cream truck! Over the years, Mimi had become an example of positivity for her family. It was not a title she earned without effort, however. Her husband died early and at only forty years old she was left to raise her daughter alone. She faced the heart-breaking disaster powerful enough. She could have lived under a black cloud. But she challenged herself to find joy every day instead. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the rocky mountain in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking scenery, or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter just how much one could achieve with a positive attitude. And obviously she had taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren as well. Before starting her adventure with Max and Lily on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly, spotting his green shirt and catching the sight of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. The ice-cream man visited the beach on a daily basis, although the delay between the sound of his bell and the disappearance of his truck was not long. One must be quick to catch him. Max and Lily were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. That was until Mimi’s eyes shone and she said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry up to find it at its next stop. They walked block after block. Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they had to make their best guess about where to search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just two blocks later, they found it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. He wondered out loud, “Maybe we should quit. We have been walking pretty far and haven’t seen the truck yet.” With that, he collapsed, resting his aching legs and rubbing his sore feet. Mimi bent over and patted him gently on the shoulder. Smiling, she comforted the boy, “Max, remember: winners never quit, and quitters never win”. “Yeah! Never give up!” Lily agreed. Max looked up, thought for a while and jumped to his feet. “You are right. Let’s hurry!” And so they marched on. Just two blocks later, they found it. The ice-cream truck was parked just around the corner, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, as if waiting to reward the three adventurers with a most generous treat for their patience and determination. “Finally!” Max cried at this sight, throwing a fist in the air, while Lily screamed with excitement. They laughed, cheered, and chanted in chorus, “Never give up!” In that magical moment, Mimi turned that phrase into a battle cry for the children. They would be ready for any challenges upon hearing these words. So never give up; your ice cream truck may be just a block away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mimi是她家人一个积极向上的榜样，面对早年的遭遇，她足够坚强，每天都去寻找快乐，永不放弃，她告诉女儿一个人如果有积极的态度，可以取得多大的成就，她在对待孙辈的关系上也采取了同样的方法，在七月炎热的下午Mimi带着Max和Lily寻找冰激凌车，虽然冰激凌已经开走了，但是Mimi告诉他们不要放弃，于是他们一个街区一个街区的，边喊“永不放弃”边搜索冰激凌车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走了大约20分钟后，Max的信念在烈日下开始动摇。”可知，第一段可描写Max准备放弃，于是Mimi过来安慰并鼓励他，他们继续前进。 ②由第二段首句内容“仅仅过了两个街区，他们就找到了。”可知，第二段可描写他们找到冰激凌车后的感受和感悟。 2.续写线索：Max准备放弃——Mimi安慰——鼓励他不要放弃——继续前进——找到冰激凌车——开心和感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弯腰：bend over / bend down ②.前进：march on/go forward ③.为……做准备：be ready for/ prepare for 情绪类 ①.激动的：with excitement / be excited ②.慷慨的：generous/ bighearted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Many cause property damage and loss of life. But researchers say the severity (严重性) of their effects can be reduced if people take steps to prepare. A new exhibit teaches what governments and individuals can do to lessen the effects. Chrysanthe Broikos organized the exhibit at the National Building Museum. She says large buildings and other structures can survive strong earthquakes if they are built with some level of flexibility. In other words, they need to be able to bend and move as the earth shakes. “We need to let buildings move and we can actually understand where they might fail, and then go in and design buildings with that in mind.” One building design is called a “special moment frame”. It enables movement at points where large load-bearing supports join each other. Rubber-based foundation blocks let buildings move, while huge shock absorbers (缓冲器) help to limit the shaking. The museum exhibit has a model of a wind wall. The model shows how some roofs or tops of buildings are more likely to be destroyed than others because of the strong winds of hurricanes. Chrysanthe Broikos says tests show that a reasonable angled roof is best able to withstand wind storms. In areas with powerful winds, researchers have strongly urged the creation of at least one “safe room”. This is a place where building occupants can spend the most dangerous part of the storm. Another concern is how to deal with storms and flooding. Some coastal communities in the U.S. have made artificial reefs from oysters (牡蛎) shells instead of rocks. The builders use shells collected from restaurants to create the barriers. Chrysanthe Broikos also suggests setting aside land along the coast for parks instead of housing. She says this is more natural and keeps valuable property away from danger.

B Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness according to a team of scientists. The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling. The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21％ and when these feelings coincided(巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18％. The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion-and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ￡185m a year in mental health costs, for example. The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind search app. More than 750 people provided 16,600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive(兴旺).” 5. How was the research conducted? A. By relying on people’s memory. B. By surveying 750 paricipants. C. By collecting data through a smartphone app. D. By checking a worldwide representative sample. 6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Many big cities take the lead in the research. B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being. C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people. D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially. 7. What ean be inferred about the research? A. The findings are statistically markable. B. It offers a wide range of samples globally. C. The carefully selected participants are Defiable. D. Many factors are considered except eduction. 8. What’s the text mainly about? A. The mental problems of living in big cities. B. Reducing loncliness in cities via contact with nature. C Developing urban habitats at a high speod. D. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature. C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 9. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 10. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between . A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 11. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment. 12. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups 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。 If you feel that your sense of time has changed recently, you are not alone. Ottawa's Christina Chenard is one of those folks whose sense of time has been changed, and it has changed her life for the better. Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.___13___ "This moment has made us all pay much attention to things that truly matter in life, and changed our relationship to work," says Ashley Whillans, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. Here are four tips to create time affluence（富足）from Whillans. Catalog（记录）it In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going___14___Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results.

If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.___16___ Leisure time matters The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.___17___But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies.

Never give up!” chanted two young children, Max and Lily, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi who was leading them on a great adventure, straight off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. They were seeking the mysterious ice-cream truck! Over the years, Mimi had become an example of positivity for her family. It was not a title she earned without effort, however. Her husband died early and at only forty years old she was left to raise her daughter alone. She faced the heart-breaking disaster powerful enough. She could have lived under a black cloud. But she challenged herself to find joy every day instead. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the rocky mountain in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking scenery, or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter just how much one could achieve with a positive attitude. And obviously she had taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren as well. Before starting her adventure with Max and Lily on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly, spotting his green shirt and catching the sight of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. The ice-cream man visited the beach on a daily basis, although the delay between the sound of his bell and the disappearance of his truck was not long. One must be quick to catch him. Max and Lily were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. That was until Mimi’s eyes shone and she said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry up to find it at its next stop. They walked block after block. Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they had to make their best guess about where to search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just two blocks later, they found it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
