My shoulders ached from sitting at a desk all day,and my ears rang from the endless traffic.At 25, I had what people called "a stable life"-a full-time job,a roof over my head,and a husband.But something felt wrong.The days blurred()together like gray rain,and no matter how many plants I bought or candles I lit,the city never felt like home. Then one Saturday,everything changed.Patrick,my husband,burst through the door, waving a paper like it was treasure."Mary,look,"he said,out of breath."It's a mess.But it could be our mess."On that page:93 acres in the countryside of Maine,an old broken-down farmhouse and not a neighbor in sight.I raised an eyebrow."It doesn't even have a real kitchen?" I asked,a shadow of unease creeping into my heart.He smiled."Exactly." Curiosity prevailed.We drove up the next morning.The driveway was covered with weeds. But the air smelled fresh,like trees and soil,and the quiet-filled with birds singing and leaves moving-felt like a song I hadn't heard in years.For the first time in months,I could breathe deeply.We stood in the tall grass,the wind blowing our hair,and said yes. The first few months were wild.We showered outside with water warmed by fire.A goat we 英语试题第3页（共8页）》 C③扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的日指Ap中 named Clover ran away and ate my only pair of shoes.We leamed how to build fences,carry firewood,and grow food in the ground. One soft morning,barefoot in the wet grass,I picked a red tomato I had grown myself.It was warm and heavy in my hand.I looked around-messy hair,muddy shoes,sun on my face-and felt fully alive. I have left the city to escape the noise.What I have found is a quiet,stronger version of myself,growing with every sunrise. 24.What made the author initially hesitate about the farmhouse? A.It was short of basic facilities. B.It was too expensive to afford. C.It was located in a messy village. D.It was not accessible by public transport. 25.What does the underlined word"prevailed"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Dominated. B.Disappeared. C.Decreased. D.Recovered. 26.What can be known about the author's life now? A.She misses the city's convenience. B.She suffers insufficient water supply. C.She has found a sense of satisfaction. D.She has adapted to farm work and the noise. 27.Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Generous and adventurous. B.Focused and conventional. C.Enthusiastic and independent. D.Courageous and determined. C Talking on the phone can be awful because we're limited to just the sounds of our voices. Some people choose texting because it gives them time to think about the wording of their messages. In some cases,they develop a different personality in contrast to their real-life self. Research suggests phone anxiety is related to a preoccupation with what the other person thinks of them.By ruling out the immediate reaction of others in spoken conversations,text messaging may offer those with phone anxiety a way of making social contact without the fear of rejection or disapproval. Another reason why phone calls can sometimes feel overwhelming is the pressure that comes with being someone else's focus.In face-to-face conversations,we have several distractions( in our environment,like gazing out of the window or checking the missed call notifications on our phones.This can make the interaction feel more casual and the conversation flow naturally. On a call,there are no external distractions,so it can feel like the spotlight is on us to answer questions straight away. Pauses can feel extremely uncomfortable too.In face-to-face communication,you can see when someone is distracted or thinking,but on the phone brief silences can feel awkward.We're also becoming used to being able to review emails,texts and social media posts before hitting the "send"button,so a phone conversation can be thoughtless and risky. It's easy to put off or completely avoid calls when you're feeling anxious,but the more you hesitate,the worse the anxiety is likely to get.The good news is that you don't need to suffer in silence,or over text messages.There are several useful techniques that may help you break the pattern. One of the most effective ways to overcome phone anxiety is to expose yourself to more phone calls.The more you do it,the less overwhelming it becomes.It's also likely that your phone anxiety is linked to a lack of experience.The more practice you have,the less anxious and more confident you'll feel. 英语试题第4页（共8页） C③扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的日指Ap中 28.Why do some people prefer texting to phone calls?

Scientists examined the behavior,called kelping,by analyzing aerial footage(航拍镜头)and social media posts of more than 160 whale interactions.They found kelping may also be used as a welcomed body scrub()and a way of strengthening social bonds. Dr Olaf Meynecke,research fellow at Griffith University in Queensland,examined kelping in whales off the coasts of Alaska,mainland USA,Canada,Australia and French Polynesia.While the marine mammals enjoyed rolling around in the seaweed,there was one spot in particular that the whales targeted."We have evidence of four different species and it seems all prefer to place it on their heads,"explains Dr Meynecke. The observed species are classified as baleen whales,which have a large sharp whale bone at the front of their mouth to filter()food,instead of teeth.Dr Meynecke says the whales enjoy throwing bits of seaweed up in the air and "using their heads to swim through it". Dr Meynecke was surprised to see the whales diving downwards with seaweed held in their mouths."One good reason for this could be that it's actually like a toothbrush,because that part of their mouths is extremely difficult to clean. However,Dr Meynecke says it could be a lot simpler."Kelping can actually happen as a social activity.The team observed three whales sharing seaweed with each other before another two whales came by to check out the scene.It was clear that this kind of interaction with the seaweed was a positive one that was shared with others. It has been a solid fact that seaweed has a rich nutritional value for various kinds of fish. However,the team noted the issue of large areas of seaweed dying in the areas where the whales wander,and how highlighting the positive impact of seaweed on the whales'well-being can help with conservation efforts. 32.How did scientists research the kelping of whales? A.By studying previous data. B.By interacting with them on the spot. C.By conducting underwater experiments.D.By observing their behavior personally. 33.What is one finding about the kelping of whales? A.It helps them filter food better. B.It functions as a way to attract mates. C.It sharpens the front bone in their mouth.D.It allows them to socialize more. 英语试题第5页（共8页） C③扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的日指Ap中 34.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

It was a tough December.The day started warmly in the moming,but by midday,temperatures dropped sharply,winds blowing hard and snow piling up fast.News reports grew urgent:Get off the roads.Find shelter fast.Roads became impossible to travel on.The emergency crew rescued 65 people before abandoning the effort as it was too dangerous.More than 30,000 people lost power.Much of Elston's neighborhood lost power too,but not his barbershop. Elston looked out the window at the heavy wind and snow,remembered his coach's words, and realized it was time to do something.He immediately opened TikTok,sweeping the camera across the shop's space heaters,charging sockets,and stockpiled food."Anybody who's stuck out there,do not stay in your car,man,"Elston announced in his video."The barbershop here welcomes you.Get some heat,get some electricity,charge your phone and get in contact with your family. The address is 32 Elmwood Avenue,and the door is always open for you!" The first person to knock on his door was a neighbor who barely spoke English.But Elston didn't need a translator to see the trouble.He had frostbite()on his fingers and toes-it was really bad. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Elston quickly brought the man inside.
