B As a child,Fischer loved going to the beach and riding bikes along the coastline with his father, Karl Fischer.So when he lost his dad to pancreatic cancer,he turned to the healing power of the ocean. At the start of this year,Fischer wrote his father's name on his surfboard and took it out to sea in Newport,Rhode Island.His father's name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared adventure. Inspired,Fischer made a video and posted it on social media the same dav."If you love the ocean,o you know someone who loves the ocean,or maybe you lost someone who just loved being outdoors.. you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story,and I'll put their name on my board here,just like I've done with my father's name,"he said in the video."And I'll take them out ir the ocean for you." Names poured in from thousands of strangers grieving (the loss of loved ones.And with that,the One Last Wave Project was born,the aim of which was to exchange stories with a communit of people going through the same pain.They were essentially healing together.About two months late Fischer had received over 5,000 names and written most of them on two surfboards.The first tw surfboards ran out of space-he's working on getting more.He wrote the names in neat letters on th surfboard and put a clear acrylic coat over them so they didn't wash off. Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic,Fischer was amazed b the responses that have poured in."If I am able to help one person or one person shares their name that is enough for me,"he said."But I am blown awav-by not just the number of people sharing,bu the depth of stories and love that they are sharing."And he plans to take his project around the worl and connect with even more people-through shared grief and the power of the ocean 24.How did Fische share his idea with others?

D.Sharing can help heal the pain. c A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind:How can willpower be strengthened?If willpower is truly a limited resource,as the research suggests,what can be done to make it stay strong? Avoiding temptation (is an effective method for maintaining self-control,which is called the "out of sight,out of mind"principle.One recent study,for instance,found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks,in plain sight. The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question.When we face too many temptations,are we to fail?Not necessarily.Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted.Rather,people appear to hold some willpower in reserve,saved for future demands.The nght motiyation allows us to tap into those reserves,allowing us to carry on.even when our self-control strength has been run down.High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point. Willpower may also be made less vulnerable to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tirrd with heavy use.But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison,they say.While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term,they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term.Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength. The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach.Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas,so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time.In other words,don't try to quit smoking,adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time.Taking goals one by one is a better approach.Once a good habit is in place,Baumeister says,you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.Eventually healthy habits will become routine,and won't require making decisions at all. 28.From the studies in the passage we learn that A.people have unlimited self-control B.high motivation ensuros one's success C.people tend to keep some willpower in store. D.temptations help to reserve willpower 第2页 29.The underlinod phrase"tap into"in Paragraph 3 most probably means_ A.make use of B.run out of 6.get rid of D.take charge of 30.The author oompares self-control to muscles. A.to prove the long-lerm effect of willpower B.to show the significance of regular exercise 6 to argue that self-control can be.casilv used up D.to explain the benefits of practicing self-control 31.To develop a good habit,which of the following does the author prefer? A."I will give up dessert and do exercise."B."I will set three goals this new semester." C."I will read an English novel every month."B."I will keep myself from any temptation." D Midway through The Matrir,Cvpher feasts on an enormous steak,well eware that his reality is not real,part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is"juicy and delicious"Two decades after the movie made its first appearance,something unexpected arises: The future of reality will not only be virtual but also synthetic )Cypher's aitre meal will be a physical one,synthesized from animal cells. And the synthesis goes beyond dinner.Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems.However,biology has a tendency to evolve in unexpected ways. Synthesized meat is one case in point.The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (meat would reouire 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 7&to 96 perrent Jess greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption.But once we're able to synthesize meat,theoretically,we'll have the capability to culture meat from any animal,even those we'd never consider eating today,like dolphins or chimpanzees,which will pose a new regulatory challenge for us. Using synthetic biology,we can even edit and rewrite life,the technology of which is already in use.In 2021,scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells.Here comes the situation worth considering:such a monkey-human hybrid will demonstrate qualities that are somewhere between humans,on which experimentation isn't allowed, and animals,which are often raised specinically for research.How will we decide when an animal becomes too human? Depending on where you stand,the synthetic realities land somewhere between"really exciting" and"critically concerning."As individuals,we undertake a shared responsibility to make good choices about this coming synthetic technology. 32.What do we know about Cypher's steak fn the movie? A It is anything but appetizing. B.It is enjoyed in a virtual world. C.It is synthesized from animal cell. D.It is a construction made by himself. 33.What's the advantage of synthesized meat? A.It is more nutritious. B.It is more energy-consuming. C.It is more environment-friendly. D.It is more controllable in regulation. 34.What is the author's attitude to the experiment in Paragraph4? 】A.Cautious. B.Favorable. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent. 35.What is the purposc of the text? A.To popularize synthetic technology. B.To indicate challenges of synthetic technology. C.To stress the importance of synthetic technology. D.To introduce the development of synthetic technology 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） I plan to remember this year's vacation season with just two words:NEVER AGAIN.Never again,that is,will I take all my technology along.36 Instead of long evenings of crossword puzzles of board games,we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages. That is the problemn with the Interet:unless you're equipped with massive self-control,you use it if it's there. For several years,I kept my Internet addiction under contral by using inconvenient technology: a laptop which is old and not in good condition and a slow dial-up connection.37 The magical Pad signaled silently from the picnic table:Once that attractive touch screen lights up,who can resist? 38 I'm a late adopter.As early as 2008,Nicholas Carr,a famous writer,was warning that broadband Internet was reducing our attention spans and making us stupid.Even before that,in 2000,Harvard's Robert Putnam warned that television-and,more broadly,staring into any kind of screen-had reduced the amount of time families spent in social interactions. 39 I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips;I love having the world's newspapers on my electronic doorstep.It's also nice to have a app that identifies the constellations (when you hold the iPad up to the night sky.But then,you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars. And that's the point:40 It's our fault instead of the Internet,for failing to control the urge to browse ()So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer:More time reading old novels;more time playing crossword puzzles and chasing frogs. A The internet has ruined summer vacations. B.Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing. C.I'm not the first to get lost across this problem,of course. D.People should not rely simply on the Internet to provide them with other information. E It's important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simpler beauties. F.Although the Internet is often useful,it can become addictive and prevent human interaction. G But this year,the combination of a new iPad and very good Wi-Fi turned out to be disastrous. 第3页 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小照1分，满分15分) I fininbod my dinner and went into a shop in the hopo of finding some laat-mimute Christmao gine There was #lal-to Bor Every sholf and wall was 41 with difTarent handiwork.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday,we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district."Christmas is a season of giving,"I told my students."There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season.By contributing to our Christmas collection,you will help buy food,clothing and toys for these needy people.We will start the collection tomorrow." When I called for the contributions the next day,I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Willard P.Frank.The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to my desk. Carefully,he dropped two quarters into the small container."I don't need milk for lunch,"he mumbled ()For a moment,just a moment,he smiled.Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night,after school,I took our few contributions to the school principal.I couldn't help sharing the incident that had taken place."I may be wrong,but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,”I told the principal.“Yes,”he nodded.“And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us.I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection.Here,take a look at it."As I gazed down to read,I discovered Willard P.Frank and his family were the top names on the list.Seeing this, I decided to do something for him. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右：2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答， Paragraph 1:On that Sunday,I paid a visit to Willard's family.
