After leaving the army in Tianshui, Zhao began to work at the Hoh Xil Protection Station. He has been on patrol(巡逻) since 1997. In 2020, snowstorms caught him and his team in a no man’s land for as long as 18 days, even though he was familiar with the area. When Zhao first arrived there, he experienced headaches and breathing difficulties. He didn’t get used to it until the fifth day. Every year in May, tens of thousands of antelopes head for lakes in the heartlands to give birth. For about two months, Zhao and his team had stayed at the Zonag Lake Protection Station, in the heart of Hoh Xil, to protect antelopes from poachers. At night, there were often brown bears and wolves. “We light a fire in the tent to drive them away.” Zhao said. During the last two years, Zhao shared his experiences with people across the province to call on more people to join in the protection of Hoh Xil. “This is a pure(纯净的) land. Protecting it is also protecting hu-man beings.” he said. 24. How long has Zhao Xinlu worked in Hoh Xil? A. For about 15 years. B. For about 20 years. C. For about 26 years. D. For about 30 years. 25. Why did Zhao Xinlu and his team light a fire in the tent? A. Because they wanted to keep themselves warm. B. Because they wanted to light up the dark night. C. Because they wanted to tell others where they were patrolling. D. Because they wanted to stop dangerous animals from getting near. 26.

Zhao Xinlu joined the army in Tianshui. d. Zhao Xinlu encouraged more people to protect the Tibetan antelopes. e. Zhao Xinlu got used to the environment in the no man’s land. A. cabed B. acebd C. cebda D. acbed 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了赵警官在可可西里的巡逻工作。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He has been on patrol(巡逻) since 1997.”可知他自1997年以来一直在巡逻，2023-1997=26，所以他在可可西里工作已经26年了。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At night, there were often brown bears and wolves. ‘We light a fire in the tent to drive them away.’ Zhao said.”可知赵警官和他的团队在帐篷里点火是因为他们想阻止危险的动物靠近。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After leaving the army in Tianshui, Zhao began to work at the Hoh Xil Protection Station.”可知，他先是在Tianshui参军，然后才来到可可西里成为警察；根据第二段“In 2020, snowstorms caught him and his team in a no man’s land for as long as 18 days, even though he was familiar with the area.”可知，他和他的团队遭遇了暴风雪，且赵警官已经习惯了无人区的生活；根据最后一段“During the last two years, Zhao shared his experiences with people across the province to call on more people to join in the protection of Hoh Xil.”可知赵鼓励更多的人保护藏羚羊。所以正确顺序是：cabed。故选A。 C The way the mind works is heavily influenced by culture, according to University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett, author of The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently... and Why. Richard Nisbett says that two people from different cultures can look at the same picture and see it in different ways. Culture also teaches people how to see and describe their experiences. Nisbett explains that Asians think differently from Westerners because their culture teaches them to be more aware of society, family, and historical background. Western culture, and especially American culture, tends to pay more attention to individual (个人的) success and being independent of family. Nisbett argues that culture makes East Asians more holistic or global thinkers: When trying to understand a situation, they like to see the whole picture. They trust feelings and pay attention to relationships because these are valued highly in their culture. However, Nisbett’s research has shown that Westerners tend to be more analytic (善于分析的). When they try to understand something, Westerners usually prefer to analyze small pieces of information first and build their knowledge piece by piece in order to understand the whole picture. In study after study, Nisbett and colleagues from China, the Republic of Korea, and Japan found that East Asians and Americans responded in different ways to the same situation. In one experiment, Japanese and Americans viewed the same animated underwater scenes, and reported what they had seen. In the experiment, most of the Americans started by explaining the details, for example, saying there were large fish in the front on the right. However, the Japanese talked about the environment first, mentioning that there was a pond or a fish tank. The Japanese also talked more about the environment and inanimate (无生命的) objects than the Americans, for example, “The big fish swam past the gray seaweed.” This research proves the traditional idea that Americans are less interested in social background and place importance on the individual. The Japanese, on the other hand, place more importance on social background. 27. Nisbett may agree ______. A. Asians pay less attention to society B. Westerners focus more on individual success C. Asians are less aware of historical background D. Westerners are more dependent on their families 28. The word “holistic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. analysing a small piece B. achieving a big success C. considering a whole thing D. valuing a good relationship 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Thinking Highly Enriches Culture B. Culture Heavily Influences Thinking C. Thinking Pushes Culture to Progress D. Culture Matters More than Thinking 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了思维方式在很大程度上受到文化的影响。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Western culture, and especially American culture, tends to pay more attention to individual (个人的) success and being independent of family.”可知，他赞同西方人更加注重个人成功的观点。故选B。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“ When trying to understand a situation, they like to see the whole picture.”可知，当试图了解一个情况时，他们喜欢看到全局，划线单词表示“整体的，全面的”与“considering a whole thing”近义。故选C。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“The way the mind works is heavily influenced by culture”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了思维方式在很大程度上受到文化的影响。故选B。 D Awe is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or shaking hands with a basketball superstar. When people feel awe, they may use other words to talk about the experience, such as wonder, amazement or excitement. We often think about awe when we experience uncommon and extraordinary events, such as viewing a sunrise over the Grand Canyon or watching Olympians break world records. But when scientists study people’s experiences of awe, they suggest awe is also found in everyday life—watching a gingko tree change from green to yellow, or seeing a stranger give food to a homeless person. The feeling of awe affects the way we view ourselves. The experience of awe can have a deep influence on our mental (心理的)health, by allowing us to put our worries into perspective. When we are in the presence of something vast and indescribable, we feel unimportant, and so do our worries. The experience of awe lifts us out of the common practical thoughts that control our daily lives. and it allows us to have inner peace. In areas where the population can easily get to beautiful green spaces, people report greater happiness and goodwill toward others. A study showed that older adults who took weekly 15-minute outdoor walks in nature for eight weeks reported increased positive emotions and less pain in their daily lives. People in awe are more likely to show kindness and feel a greater sense of connection to others and the world. In moments of awe, we direct ourselves from the sense that we are solely (独自地)in control of our own future to the feeling we are part of a community. When we give less attention to our own goals and needs, we are more likely to be able to notice others and what they may be experiencing. In sum, awe arises when we run into the wonders of life and leads to a disappearing of the self. Stepping outside of oneself is a valuable skill. It is possible to find awe-inspiring moments in all different places. Therefore, actively look for the experiences that feed your own hunger for awe, be it through admiring the trees in your neighborhood, or seeing the goodness in others. Take the time to slow down and open your mind to those things which you do not fully understand. You will be the better for it—and, as your feelings of awe spread through acts of kindness, so will the rest of us. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Meeting strangers often brings feelings of excitement. B. Even common daily events can lead to the feeling of awe. C. Uncommon events are usually related to the beauty of nature. D. Greater happiness can result from giving ourselves more attention. 31. The words “put our worries into perspective” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”. A. get used to our worries completely B. deal with our worries as soon as possible C share our worries with family and close friends D. understand the actual importance of our worries 32. A person who has just experienced awe will probably ________. A. readily reach out to those in need B. report feeling more self-important C. separate himself from the rest of a group D. be unwilling to work with others on a team 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show us ways to understand what awe is. B. To explain to us how awe can improve health. C. To encourage us to be ready to experience awe. D. To advise us to free ourselves from the fear of awe. 【答案】30. B 31. D 32. A 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在所有不同的地方都可能找到令人敬畏的时刻，鼓励我们做好体验敬畏的准备。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But when scientists study people’s experiences of awe, they suggest awe is also found in everyday life—watching a gingko tree change from green to yellow, or seeing a stranger give food to a homeless person.”可知，即使是平常的日常事件，也会让人产生敬畏感。故选B。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The experience of awe can have a deep influence on our mental (心理的) health, by allowing us to put our worries into perspective.”可知，敬畏的经历能够对我们的心理健康产生深深地影响，我们应该理解我们担忧的重要性，因此该词组表示“理解我们担忧的实际重要性”。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People in awe are more likely to show kindness and feel a greater sense of connection to others and the world.”可知，心存敬畏的人更容易表现出善意，感受到与他人和世界更大的联系感。由此可知一个刚经历过敬畏的人可能会乐于向有需要的人伸出援手。故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Therefore, actively look for the experiences that feed your own hunger for awe, be it through admiring the trees in your neighborhood, or seeing the goodness in others. Take the time to slow down and open your mind to those things which you do not fully understand. You will be the better for it—and, as your feelings of awe spread through acts of kindness, so will the rest of us.”及全文可知，本文写作的主要目的是鼓励我们准备好体验敬畏。故选C。 四.阅读表达(前3小题每小题2分，第4小题4分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course g this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients who are fighting with trauma(创伤). The course was pioneered by a comedian, Belcher. It’s believed that comedy is in every one of us, and we are all born comedians. Every night we come home from work and tell our family what our days were like, but on the way home we’ll work on the details, and try to make our stories funnier to amuse our families. According to Angie Belcher, professional comedy education is to give people the tools to make the stories better. The course is a combination of psychology(心理学), comedy and storytelling and it will last six weeks. In fact, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of our lives, but from our everyday life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the death of a close friend and poor health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something strangely funny about the situation. Experts say that we can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it. It’s a short period of rest from something unpleasant. Angie, who has a master’s degree in psychology, says the course is for anyone who is ready to explore their trauma through comedy. It can be taken by people in recovery from mental health problems and people who’ve had trauma. There’s lots of one-to-one help in the room too. The comedians give people a hand to write their comedy and explore some dark times from their history. While the course can’t take the place of medical treatment, talking about our trauma in a funny way indeed helps. Comedy can help to build community. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences minored back to us is hugely comforting. 34. Who pioneered the free course? ____________________________________________________________ 35. How long will the course last? ____________________________________________________________ 36. Where does comedy come from according to the passage? ____________________________________________________________ 37. Your friend Peter is now going through a trauma. Would you like to advise him to take the course mentioned in the passage? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】34. A comedian, Angie Belcher. 35. For six weeks. 36. It comes from our everyday life events. 37. Yes, I would like to. Because the course can talking about traumas in a funny way, and through the course, people can feel more comfortable and less alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Bristol的医生本月可以送病人参加一个免费课程，该课程使用单口相声来帮助那些正在与创伤作斗争的病人。 34题详解】 根据“The course was pioneered by a comedian, Belcher.”可知这门课程是由喜剧演员Angie Belcher开创的。故填A comedian, Angie Belcher. 【35题详解】 根据“The course is a combination of psychology(心理学), comedy and storytelling and it will last six weeks.”可知课程持续了六周，故填For six weeks. 【36题详解】 根据“Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of our lives, but from our everyday life events”可知喜剧不是来自我们生活中快乐、完美的时刻，而是来自我们日常生活中的事件。故填It comes from our everyday life events. 【37题详解】 开放性作答，结合文章，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I would like to.

The following three steps will help people to become critical thinkers. Step 1: ____21____ Critical thinkers start by asking questions. They ask themselves: If this, then what? If that, then how will the result be different? They may think about all possible ideas before they make decisions. Step 2: ____22____ Critical thinkers search for answers. They make use of all possible tools or interview people for information. Then they analyze(分析) the information with an open mind. They compare and decide what the best answers are. Step 3: ____23____ After critical thinkers get new ideas to work out problems, they share these ideas with their teammates and get support from them. During communication with others, better ideas often come up. For questions 1-3, match each step with the choices (A-D). There is one you do not need. A. Think of Plans B. Look for Answers C. Ask Questions D. Share Ideas B Working in Hoh Xil, police officer Zhao Xinlu’s two main tasks are to catch poachers(偷猎者) and to protect the Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊), especially when they are giving birth. After leaving the army in Tianshui, Zhao began to work at the Hoh Xil Protection Station. He has been on patrol(巡逻) since 1997. In 2020, snowstorms caught him and his team in a no man’s land for as long as 18 days, even though he was familiar with the area. When Zhao first arrived there, he experienced headaches and breathing difficulties. He didn’t get used to it until the fifth day. Every year in May, tens of thousands of antelopes head for lakes in the heartlands to give birth. For about two months, Zhao and his team had stayed at the Zonag Lake Protection Station, in the heart of Hoh Xil, to protect antelopes from poachers. At night, there were often brown bears and wolves. “We light a fire in the tent to drive them away.” Zhao said. During the last two years, Zhao shared his experiences with people across the province to call on more people to join in the protection of Hoh Xil. “This is a pure(纯净的) land. Protecting it is also protecting hu-man beings.” he said. 24. How long has Zhao Xinlu worked in Hoh Xil? A. For about 15 years. B. For about 20 years. C. For about 26 years. D. For about 30 years. 25. Why did Zhao Xinlu and his team light a fire in the tent? A. Because they wanted to keep themselves warm. B. Because they wanted to light up the dark night. C. Because they wanted to tell others where they were patrolling. D. Because they wanted to stop dangerous animals from getting near. 26. Which of the following is the correct order of Zhao Xinlu’s experiences? a. Zhao Xinlu came to Hoh Xil and became a police officer. b. Zhao Xinlu and his team were caught in the snowstorms. c. Zhao Xinlu joined the army in Tianshui. d. Zhao Xinlu encouraged more people to protect the Tibetan antelopes. e. Zhao Xinlu got used to the environment in the no man’s land. A. cabed B. acebd C. cebda D. acbed C The way the mind works is heavily influenced by culture, according to University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett, author of The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently... and Why. Richard Nisbett says that two people from different cultures can look at the same picture and see it in different ways. Culture also teaches people how to see and describe their experiences. Nisbett explains that Asians think differently from Westerners because their culture teaches them to be more aware of society, family, and historical background. Western culture, and especially American culture, tends to pay more attention to individual (个人的) success and being independent of family. Nisbett argues that culture makes East Asians more holistic or global thinkers: When trying to understand a situation, they like to see the whole picture. They trust feelings and pay attention to relationships because these are valued highly in their culture. However, Nisbett’s research has shown that Westerners tend to be more analytic (善于分析的). When they try to understand something, Westerners usually prefer to analyze small pieces of information first and build their knowledge piece by piece in order to understand the whole picture. In study after study, Nisbett and colleagues from China, the Republic of Korea, and Japan found that East Asians and Americans responded in different ways to the same situation. In one experiment, Japanese and Americans viewed the same animated underwater scenes, and reported what they had seen. In the experiment, most of the Americans started by explaining the details, for example, saying there were large fish in the front on the right. However, the Japanese talked about the environment first, mentioning that there was a pond or a fish tank. The Japanese also talked more about the environment and inanimate (无生命的) objects than the Americans, for example, “The big fish swam past the gray seaweed.” This research proves the traditional idea that Americans are less interested in social background and place importance on the individual. The Japanese, on the other hand, place more importance on social background. 27. Nisbett may agree ______. A Asians pay less attention to society B. Westerners focus more on individual success C. Asians are less aware of historical background D. Westerners are more dependent on their families 28. The word “holistic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. analysing a small piece B. achieving a big success C. considering a whole thing D. valuing a good relationship 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Thinking Highly Enriches Culture B. Culture Heavily Influences Thinking C. Thinking Pushes Culture to Progress D. Culture Matters More than Thinking D Awe is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or shaking hands with a basketball superstar. When people feel awe, they may use other words to talk about the experience, such as wonder, amazement or excitement. We often think about awe when we experience uncommon and extraordinary events, such as viewing a sunrise over the Grand Canyon or watching Olympians break world records. But when scientists study people’s experiences of awe, they suggest awe is also found in everyday life—watching a gingko tree change from green to yellow, or seeing a stranger give food to a homeless person. The feeling of awe affects the way we view ourselves. The experience of awe can have a deep influence on our mental (心理的)health, by allowing us to put our worries into perspective. When we are in the presence of something vast and indescribable, we feel unimportant, and so do our worries. The experience of awe lifts us out of the common practical thoughts that control our daily lives. and it allows us to have inner peace. In areas where the population can easily get to beautiful green spaces, people report greater happiness and goodwill toward others. A study showed that older adults who took weekly 15-minute outdoor walks in nature for eight weeks reported increased positive emotions and less pain in their daily lives. People in awe are more likely to show kindness and feel a greater sense of connection to others and the world. In moments of awe, we direct ourselves from the sense that we are solely (独自地)in control of our own future to the feeling we are part of a community. When we give less attention to our own goals and needs, we are more likely to be able to notice others and what they may be experiencing. In sum, awe arises when we run into the wonders of life and leads to a disappearing of the self. Stepping outside of oneself is a valuable skill. It is possible to find awe-inspiring moments in all different places. Therefore, actively look for the experiences that feed your own hunger for awe, be it through admiring the trees in your neighborhood, or seeing the goodness in others. Take the time to slow down and open your mind to those things which you do not fully understand. You will be the better for it—and, as your feelings of awe spread through acts of kindness, so will the rest of us. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Meeting strangers often brings feelings of excitement. B. Even common daily events can lead to the feeling of awe. C. Uncommon events are usually related to the beauty of nature. D. Greater happiness can result from giving ourselves more attention. 31. The words “put our worries into perspective” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”. A. get used to our worries completely B. deal with our worries as soon as possible C. share our worries with family and close friends D. understand the actual importance of our worries 32. A person who has just experienced awe will probably ________. A. readily reach out to those in need B. report feeling more self-important C. separate himself from the rest of a group D. be unwilling to work with others on a team 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show us ways to understand what awe is. B. To explain to us how awe can improve health. C. To encourage us to be ready to experience awe. D. To advise us to free ourselves from the fear of awe. 四.阅读表达(前3小题每小题2分，第4小题4分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course g this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients who are fighting with trauma(创伤). The course was pioneered by a comedian, Belcher. It’s believed that comedy is in every one of us, and we are all born comedians. Every night we come home from work and tell our family what our days were like, but on the way home we’ll work on the details, and try to make our stories funnier to amuse our families. According to Angie Belcher, professional comedy education is to give people the tools to make the stories better. The course is a combination of psychology(心理学), comedy and storytelling and it will last six weeks. In fact, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of our lives, but from our everyday life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the death of a close friend and poor health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something strangely funny about the situation. Experts say that we can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it. It’s a short period of rest from something unpleasant. Angie, who has a master’s degree in psychology, says the course is for anyone who is ready to explore their trauma through comedy. It can be taken by people in recovery from mental health problems and people who’ve had trauma. There’s lots of one-to-one help in the room too. The comedians give people a hand to write their comedy and explore some dark times from their history. While the course can’t take the place of medical treatment, talking about our trauma in a funny way indeed helps. Comedy can help to build community. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences minored back to us is hugely comforting. 34. Who pioneered the free course? ____________________________________________________________ 35. How long will the course last? ____________________________________________________________ 36.
