A. acknowledged B. allowed C. concluded D. permitted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：他被公认为世界上最好的足球运动员。A. acknowledged承认；B. allowed允许；C. concluded推断；D. permitted允许。根据后文“to be the best football player in the world”指被公认为世界上最好的足球运动员。故选A。 4. It is difficult to command a new skill, but once ________, it will benefit you for the rest of your life. A. obtaining B. obtained C. to obtain D. is obtained 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查省略。句意：这是个很难掌握的技巧，但一旦被掌握，将对你的余生有好处。此处为once引导的状语从句的省略，完整形式为： once it is obtained，主从句主语一致，省略从句的主语和be。故选B项。 5. （2018· 北京）Without his support, we wouldn’t be _________ we are now. A. how B. when C. where D. why 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：没有他的支持，我们是不会在现在这个位置的。how表方式，when表时间，where表地点，why表原因。“_________ we are now”是表语从句，结合句子的意思可知，该处指我们所处的位置，故该从句应用where引导。C选项正确。 点睛：表语从句是指一个句子充当表语，通俗的说就是系动词be后面接一个句子。连接表语从句的连接词有that，what，who，when，where，which，why，whether，how等。 6. His laziness and carelessness led to________in the examination. A. fail B. having failed C. failed D. failing 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他的懒惰和粗心导致了考试不及格。lead to“导致，引起”，to为介词，所以其后跟动名词；选项A、C错误；因为懒惰和粗心导致不及格，所以空后的事为懒惰粗心的结果，所以空处用动名词的一般式，选项B错误。故选D。 7. I can’t imagine what great difficulty he had ________ the mountain. A. climb B. to climb C. climbing D. climbed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我无法想象他爬山遇到了多么大的困难。分析句子结构可知，have difficulty in doing sth“做某事有困难”，本题中省略了in，故横线处用climbing作介词in的宾语。故填climbing。 8. A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not ________ ships are built for. A. what B. where C. that D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查表语从句。句意：港口的船是安全的，但是这不是造船的目的。引导表语从句，表语从句中for缺少宾语。what和for连用，表示“目的”。故选A。 9. The reason ________ he has been a success is ________ he never gives up. A. for which, which B. why,that C. why ;which D. for which，which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：他成功的原因是他从不放弃。分析句子第一空引导的是定语从句，先行词为the reason，引导词在从句中作原因状语，用why；第二空引导的是表语从句，引导词在从句中不做成分只起到连接作用无意义，用that。故选B。 10. Having heard the________ words, that boy was________. A. encouraging; encouraging B. encouraged; encouraged C. encouraged; encouraging D. encouraging; encouraged 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查-ing形容词和-ed形容词辨析。句意：听了这些鼓励的话，那个男孩受到了鼓励。第一空修饰words，应用-ing结尾形容词encouraging“鼓舞人心的，鼓励的”；第二空修饰boy的感情，应用-ed结尾形容词，表示“感到鼓舞的”。故选D。 11. It is a waste of time ________ such a person to join us. A. persuade B. persuading C. persuaded D. persuades 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：说服这样的人加入我们是浪费时间。此处为固定句型“It is a waste of time doing sth.”，意为“做某事是浪费时间”，符合句意，其中it为形式主语，动名词短语作真正主语，因此，空处应用动名词形式persuading作真正主语。故选B项。 12. This film is not suitable for children. It’s too________. A. frightening B. fright C. frightened D. frighten 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：这部电影不适合儿童观看。太可怕了。A. frightening可怕的；B. fright恐惧；C. frightened害怕的；D. frighten吓唬。分析句子结构可知，空前是系动词is，所以空处应填形容词做表语，选项中frightening和frightened是形容词，又此处修饰的是it，代指前文的film，所以应该用v-ing形式。故选A项。 13. _______ he said at the meeting yesterday shocked everyone present deeply. A. What B. That C. Which D. When 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：他昨天在会上说的话使在场的每一个人都深感震惊。根据句意分析句子可知，谓语动词shocked之前的部分是一个主语从句，该主语从句的谓语动词said缺少宾语，所以空格处应该填入一个连接代词作动词said的宾语，故先排除B项和D项；而该连接代词的意义应该为“……的事物” ，故排除C项。故选A项。 14. This program was set up with the ________ of providing help for homeless people. A. intelligence B. intention C. interaction D. instrument 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：建立这个项目的目的是为无家可归的人提供帮助。A.intelligence智力，才智；B.intention目的，意图；C.interaction互动；D.instrument乐器。根据“of providing help for homeless people”可知，此处是指建立这个项目的目的。故选B。 15.

A. who; annoying B. which; annoyed C. that; annoying D. that; annoyed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和形容词。句意：他再次迟到，这让老师很恼火。A. who谁；annoying令人恼火的；B. which这；annoyed恼火的；C. that那个，可以连接从句；annoying令人恼火的；D. that那个，可以连接从句；annoyed恼火的。由语意可知，此处考查非限制性定语从句，指代前文所指整个事件，即他再次迟到，故应用which引导非限制性定语从句；而他再次迟到，让老师感到恼火，故应用-ed结尾形容词annoyed。故选B项。 16. __________along the old Silk Road is an interesting and rewarding experience. A. Travel B. Travelling C. Being travelled D. Travelled 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。句意：沿着古老的丝绸之路旅行是一种有趣又有益的体验。分析可知空处travel的动名词形式作主语，表示一般性的行为，此处不表示被动意义，故选B。 17. Seeing John rush into the room with tears in his eyes, I asked him_______. A. what is happened B. what happening C. what will happen D. what had happened 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句的时态。句意：看到约翰眼里含着泪冲进房间，我问他发生了什么事。空格处为宾语从句，作asked的宾语，主句的谓语动词asked是一般过去时，宾语从句的动作“发生”是在“询问”之前已经完成的动作，需用过去完成时，谓语动词为“had+过去分词”，来体现动作的先后关系，因此“what had happened”符合语境和时态要求。故选D项。 18. He is ________ the housing project. A. charge of B. in charge of C. the charge of D. in the charge of 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：他负责这个住房项目。A. charge of无此搭配；B. in charge of负责，掌管（主语通常为人，表主动管理）；C. the charge of无此搭配；D. in the charge of由……负责（主语通常为物，表被动被管理）。句中主语是“he（人）”，且表达“负责该住房项目”的含义，“in charge of”符合语境。故选B项。 19. The police ________ the crowd not to panic. A. appealed to B. appealing to C. appealed in D. appealing in 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语及时态。句意：警方呼吁人群不要恐慌。句中缺少谓语动词，“appeal to”是固定短语，意为“呼吁，恳求”，符合语境；此处描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，“appealed to”为一般过去时，在句中作谓语，无appeal in短语。故选A项。 20. They did everything they could to make me feel ________ home. A. on B. in C. at D. for 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查介词搭配。句意：他们尽一切可能让我感觉像在家里一样。A. on在……上面；B. in在……里面；C. at在（某地）；D. for为了。“feel at home”是固定短语，意为“感觉像在家里一样，无拘无束”，符合语境。故选C项。 二、阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答愿卡上将该项涂黑。 A A Family of Magazines Take a look at the descriptions below to see which magazine is right for you!

My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt, “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky. “If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.” I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others? In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.” “How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently. “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said. “The artwork?” I was puzzled. The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it-on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief! 24. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning? A. Cheerful. B. Upset. C. Nervous. D. Satisfied. 25. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist? A. The laughing assistant of the dentist. B. The surroundings of the dentist’s office. C. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists. D. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice. 26. Why did the author suddenly smile? A. The dentist came at last. B. She could relax in the chair. C. She saw a picture on the ceiling. D. The assistant kept comforting her. 27. What did the author learn from her experience most probably? A. Put oneself in someone’s shoes. B. Think twice before you act. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Strike while the iron is hot. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次看牙的经历，通过这次经历，作者领悟到生活中应该学会换位思考，为别人着想。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend.”（那天早上真是一场灾难。我的牙齿很痛，而且我和一个朋友吵架了。）可知，那天早晨对作者来说是一场灾难，因为他的牙痛并且和朋友吵架了，由此可推断出，作者那天早上感觉不开心。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?”（但突然我开始怀疑牙医。什么样的牙医会如此渴望在没有事先预约的情况下去治疗一个人？他为什么不像其他人那么忙？）可知，作者开始怀疑牙医是因为他突然想到，为什么这个牙医会如此渴望在没有事先预约的情况下去治疗一个人？为什么他不像其他牙医那么忙？由此可知，是“牙医同意在没有事先预约的情况下给她治疗”这件事使作者开始怀疑牙医。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was!”（椅子往后退，我突然笑了。天花板上有一幅美丽的图画，我可以欣赏它。牙医真体贴！）可知，作者突然笑了是因为她看到天花板上有一幅美丽的图画，当她躺在椅子上等待治疗时可以欣赏这幅画，由此可知，作者突然笑了是因为她看到天花板上有一幅画。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?””（她的话仍然很伤人：“你的问题是你不愿意把自己放在我的位置上。你就不能从我的角度看问题吗？”）可知，作者的朋友和她争吵是因为她认为作者不会站在别人的角度看问题。再根据倒数第二段关键句“At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.”（在那一刻，我开始明白我朋友的话是什么意思。）可知，通过看牙的经历作者明白，他认为牙医不可靠，但实际并非如此，牙医贴心的在天花板上放了美丽的图画供病人欣赏，只是作者没有站在牙医的角度看问题而已，由此可知，作者最有可能从这次经历中学到，生活中应该学会换位思考，为别人着想。故选A项。 C Middle-school aged children who use the Internet, social media or video games for more than an hour each day during the school week have significantly lower grades and test scores, according to a study at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Researchers say the findings give parents and children a threshold for using entertainment-related technology-no more than one hour daily on school days and four hours a day on weekends. “Interactive technology is widely used to improve children’s educational access and achievement,” said lead author Vivien. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology is important for remote learning. But there’s a growing concern that too much technology use, particularly for entertainment, may affect children’s educational development by holding them back from learning activities.” In the research, about 10,000 first-year middle school students were surveyed and followed. Their average age was 13.5 years. The results showed that children who used the Internet for entertainment four or more hours daily were four times more likely to skip school than those who didn’t. Boys used interactive technology for entertainment more than girls. Boys also performed worse and showed lower school engagement levels than girls. “Such findings are important, particularly in the recent online learning in countries throughout the world,” said Vivien. “In a learning environment mixed with the Internet, it is easy for children to move across educational and entertainment platforms during learning to other activities.” Vivien said children in study who used a bit of technology experienced less boredom at school, potentially due to the positive effects of participation in social media for students’ relationship building and advancing children’s cognitive (认知的) development. The findings suggest that parents place time limits on their children’s interactive technology use, and that parents and teachers should help children to develop effective time management and self-regulation skills to reduce their dependence on technology. 28. What’s the finding of the study? A The Internet is important for children’s learning. B. More than an hour online a day hurts the learning. C. School kids should keep away from the Internet. D. Staying online does more harm to boys than girls. 29. What does the underlined word “threshold” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Punishment. B. Reward. C. Guideline. D. Target. 30. What conclusion did Vivien draw from the study? A. Children under 13 should be kept from online. B. Schools have the duty to limit online lessons. C. Online learning helps children manage time. D. A bit use of technology is helpful to children. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. An educational journal. B. An entertainment magazine. C. A technology report. D. A tour guidebook. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。通过一个研究结果，探讨学生上网对学习的影响及帮助，并提出相关建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段谈到这个研究的结果：“Middle-school aged children who use the Internet, social media or video games for more than an hour each day during the school week have significantly lower grades and test scores”（在上学期间，每天使用互联网、社交媒体或电子游戏超过一个小时的初中生成绩和考试成绩明显较低）。因此，研究发现每天上网超过一个小时会影响学习。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。前文说研究发现，上课期间每天上网时间超过一小时就会对学生有影响。根据下文“for using entertainment-related technology-no more than one hour daily on school days and four hours a day on weekends.”（每天使用娱乐相关技术的时间不超过1小时，周末不超过4小时。）可知，这里说这个发现给父母和孩子提供了一个上网时长的“行为准则”，因此画线词的含义是“准则；指导原则”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段的整段内容“Vivien said children in study who used a bit of technology experienced less boredom at school, potentially due to the positive effects of participation in social media for students’ relationship building and advancing children’s cognitive (认知的) development.”（维维安说，在研究中使用了一些科技产品的孩子在学校不会感到那么无聊，这可能是由于参与社交媒体对学生关系建立和促进孩子认知发展的积极影响。）可知，研究发现稍微使用一下科技对孩子们是有帮助的。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。本文根据一个研究来探讨学生接触网络的时间长短对其学习的影响，由此可知，本文的出处应该是“教育期刊”。故选A。 D Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest. Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire. Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood. But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first. Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves. 32. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Wondering mind can be healthy. B. Social media can surely entertain us. C. Being bored may be something good. D. Being involved in the task is beneficial. 33. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently? A People were stimulated by boredom. B. People were better equipped at home. C. People had more hobbies to choose from. D. People were more concerned about mental being. 34. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study? A. To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom. C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. What is the point of creativity? B. Are we more easily bored nowadays? C. How can we deal with daily boredom? D. Does boredom make us more creative? 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过一系列的研究实验发现无聊可以激发创造力。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation , does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.（中央兰开夏大学的研究人员表示，对手头工作感到心不在焉或缺乏刺激确实有好处。）”可推断，作者在第二段中暗示了无聊可能是件好事。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby.This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.（例如，如果你觉得没有什么值得看的电视节目，你可以选择关掉它，培养新的爱好。研究人员表示，这可以解释为什么在过去两年的封锁中，到童年以来首次拿起画笔的人们的创造力激增。）”可知，无聊刺激了人们使得人们出现了创造力的激增。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.（那些后来参与了豆子分类任务的人比另一组先做更有趣的事情的人在想出创意方面表现得更好。）”可知，这个实验室为了证明无聊可以激发创造力，所以推断2019年研究中的豆类分类任务的目的是创造一个无聊的环境。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.（感觉有点无聊?它可能正是你所需要的，让你产生最好的想法，激发你的创造力，或者只是让你的大脑休息一下。）”及全文可知，本文主要介绍了通过一系列的研究实验发现无聊可以激发创造力。所以“Does boredom make us more creative?(无聊让我们更有创造力吗?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 第二节:(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Vlogging (short for “video blogging”) can be about nearly anything.

B The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt, “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky. “If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.” I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others? In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.” “How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently. “Come on he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said. “The artwork?” I was puzzled. The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it-on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief! 24. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning? A. Cheerful. B. Upset. C. Nervous. D. Satisfied. 25. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist? A. The laughing assistant of the dentist. B. The surroundings of the dentist’s office. C. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists. D. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice. 26. Why did the author suddenly smile? A. The dentist came at last. B. She could relax in the chair. C. She saw a picture on the ceiling. D. The assistant kept comforting her. 27. What did the author learn from her experience most probably? A. Put oneself in someone’s shoes. B. Think twice before you act. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Strike while the iron is hot. C Middle-school aged children who use the Internet, social media or video games for more than an hour each day during the school week have significantly lower grades and test scores, according to a study at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Researchers say the findings give parents and children a threshold for using entertainment-related technology-no more than one hour daily on school days and four hours a day on weekends. “Interactive technology is widely used to improve children’s educational access and achievement,” said lead author Vivien. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology is important for remote learning. But there’s a growing concern that too much technology use, particularly for entertainment, may affect children’s educational development by holding them back from learning activities.” In the research, about 10,000 first-year middle school students were surveyed and followed. Their average age was 13.5 years. The results showed that children who used the Internet for entertainment four or more hours daily were four times more likely to skip school than those who didn’t. Boys used interactive technology for entertainment more than girls. Boys also performed worse and showed lower school engagement levels than girls. “Such findings are important, particularly in the recent online learning in countries throughout the world,” said Vivien. “In a learning environment mixed with the Internet, it is easy for children to move across educational and entertainment platforms during learning to other activities.” Vivien said children in study who used a bit of technology experienced less boredom at school, potentially due to the positive effects of participation in social media for students’ relationship building and advancing children’s cognitive (认知的) development. The findings suggest that parents place time limits on their children’s interactive technology use, and that parents and teachers should help children to develop effective time management and self-regulation skills to reduce their dependence on technology. 28. What’s the finding of the study? A. The Internet is important for children’s learning. B. More than an hour online a day hurts the learning. C. School kids should keep away from the Internet. D. Staying online does more harm to boys than girls. 29. What does the underlined word “threshold” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Punishment. B. Reward. C. Guideline. D. Target. 30. What conclusion did Vivien draw from the study? A. Children under 13 should be kept from online. B. Schools have the duty to limit online lessons. C. Online learning helps children manage time. D. A bit use of technology is helpful to children. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. An educational journal. B. An entertainment magazine. C. A technology report. D. A tour guidebook. D Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest. Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire. Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood. But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first. Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves. 32. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Wondering mind can be healthy. B. Social media can surely entertain us. C. Being bored may be something good. D. Being involved in the task is beneficial. 33. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently? A. People were stimulated by boredom. B. People were better equipped at home. C. People had more hobbies to choose from. D. People were more concerned about mental being. 34. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study? A. To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom. C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. What is the point of creativity? B. Are we more easily bored nowadays? C. How can we deal with daily boredom? D. Does boredom make us more creative? 第二节:(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Vlogging (short for “video blogging”) can be about nearly anything.
