The mission, called Inspiration4, was the idea of billionaire Jared Isaacman, who paid the company SpaceX to arrange the flight. He’s a pilot who has flown different kinds of airplanes. Mr. Isaacman decided to use the trip to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Haley Arceneaux, 29, was a cancer patient at St. Jude when she was a child. Ms. Arceneaux works at St. Jude as a physician’s assistant, helping patients and assisting doctors. She is the youngest American to fly into orbit. The capsule has room for four crew members.

For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. It is no wonder then that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood. One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife. As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast. Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters. The list of seafood available at the local fish market is like a tour of the coast: salmon, prawns, oysters, tuna, shark, crab, and many more. However, if you want to really take in the full experience, you should go to the fish market in Sydney early in the morning and see the fish being prepared for sale. Better yet, you can sign up to go deep-sea fishing. But then, how is all this food cooked? Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue, or “barbie”. Given the fine weather, Australians love to eat outside. Casual friendliness is the key to such meals. It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill. Often these barbecues feature a “mixed grill”, which means cooking all kinds of meat, seafood, and vegetables. So, at an Australian barbecue, you don’t have to eat kangaroo—or even eat meat at all—if you don’t want to. Beyond this, what is Australian cooking? As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavors and cuisines from around the globe. No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you, you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia. 24. Why does Australian cuisine centre around red meat and seafood? A. Most of the Australians like red meat and seafood. B. Red meat and seafood do good to people’s health. C. Australia is home to grazing animals and has a long coastline. D. Australians have no other cuisine choices except meat and sea food. 25. Why is the Australian government encouraging people to eat kangaroos? A. The kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. B. The meat of kangaroos is delicious and full of nutrition. C. The kangaroo has the largest number in the Australian animals. D. Kangaroos have caused too much trouble to other plants and wildlife. 26. If you want to truly learn about the seafood in Australia, the best choice is ________. A. to sign up for deep-sea fishing B. to go to a barbecue get-together C. to travel along the coastline in a car D. to pay a visit to a fish market in Sydney 27. Which is the suitable topic of this passage? A. What’s cooking in Australia? B. Are kangaroos important to Australians? C. Is nature of Australian wildlife and geography unique? D. Why is barbecue the favourite way of cooking food in Australia? 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚的美食，和这些美食诞生的原因。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. It is no wonder then that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.(首先，在这个国家的内陆有广阔的平原，那里是数百万食草动物的家园。另一方面，澳大利亚有漫长的海岸线，它紧挨着所有丰富的海洋。难怪澳大利亚的菜肴大多以红肉和海鲜为中心)”可知，澳大利亚菜以红肉和海鲜为主的原因是澳大利亚是食草动物的家园，拥有漫长的海岸线。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife. As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table.(然而，近年来，袋鼠的数量已经增加到4500万只左右。这些袋鼠游荡在道路上，进入城市，制造麻烦。它们数量的增加也伤害了植物和其他野生动物。因此，政府鼓励人们用这些动物作为食物，袋鼠已经成为澳大利亚餐桌上最受欢迎的食物之一)”可知，袋鼠给其他植物和野生动物带来了太多的麻烦，所以澳大利亚政府鼓励人们吃袋鼠。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, if you want to really take in the full experience, you should go to the fish market in Sydney early in the morning and see the fish being prepared for sale.(然而，如果你想真正体验到完整的体验，你应该一大早去悉尼的鱼市，看看鱼是如何被准备出售的)”可知，如果你想真正了解澳大利亚的海鲜，最好的选择是参观悉尼的鱼市。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“To fully appreciate Australian cuisine, you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography.(要想充分欣赏澳大利亚的美食，你必须考虑到它独特的野生动物和地理环境)”以及最后一段“Beyond this, what is Australian cooking? As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavors and cuisines from around the globe.(除此之外，什么是澳大利亚烹饪?由于澳大利亚是一个多元化的国家，有来自许多国家的人，澳大利亚的烹饪现在有来自世界各地的口味和菜系)”可知，本文主要讲澳大利亚有什么美食。故选A项。 C Scientists visiting tiny Henderson Island in the South Pacific recently made an alarming discovery. Although it is one of the most remote places on the earth and previously untouched by humans, the island was covered in plastic waste. They calculated there were 38 million pieces of plastic, weighing almost 18 tons, with thousands of new pieces washing up each day. “No country has a free pass-we found plastic from everywhere,” said one scientist. “We all have a responsibility, and we have to sit up and pay attention. This is not an issue to ignore. We need to do something now to protect the sea.” Plastic waste in the sea has long been known about, but only now are we discovering the true extent of the problem. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, so all the plastic ever produced still exists somewhere. Around 95% of plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. Currents collect this waste in large circular systems called “gyres”. One of the largest is in the Pacific Ocean, an area now known as the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. The problem gets worse as plastic breaks down into very small pieces, or “micro plastic”. This is eaten by fish and leads to massive species loss. Humans also eat these fish, and micro plastic has even been found in tap water around the world. The problem has spread too far to ignore. The plastic on Henderson Island accounts for just 2 seconds’ worth of global annual plastic production. That production will more than triple by 2050. Then there will be the same weight of plastic in the sea as fish. However, there are some young minds working to clean up and protect the sea for future generations. While diving in Greece, young Boyan Slat noticed there was more plastic waste than fish. He decided right then to dedicate his life to solving this problem. Previously the problem was considered too big to solve; collecting the plastic with boats and nets would be expensive, would harm sea life, and would take thousands of years! But, Boyan thought, why move through the sea when the sea can move through you? To work with the currents and gyres would help collect the waste. So he started The Ocean Cleanup project, which places very long floating barriers in the Pacific. Currents then concentrate the waste naturally so it can be collected and recycled. He hopes to reduce the patch by 50% in just five years. “Many problems today are side effects of things people didn’t think about in the past”, he says. Sea plastic is a symbol of the negative effects of our lifestyle and technology. Our aim should be to create a new lifestyle for this century. Protecting the sea from plastic is a good place to start. 28. What alarming discovery did the scientists make? A. They discovered a tiny island in the South Pacific Ocean. B. They discovered there was plastic everywhere on Henderson Island. C. They discovered that there was no human beings on Henderson Island. D. They discovered Henderson Island was the most remote place in the world. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Micro plastic is merely harmful to the fish in the sea. B. Not all the countries have to face the problem of plastic trash. C. Nowadays there is the same weight of plastic in the sea as fish. D. Most plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. 30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. How the Ocean Cleanup project works. B. The problem of plastic cleanup is too big to tackle. C. Let the sea itself decompose the plastic waste naturally. D. Collecting plastic with boats and nets would be a good way. 31. Which of the following words best describe Boyan Slat? A. Considerate and straightforward. B. Intelligent and responsible. C. Knowledgeable and sensitive. D. Devoted and courageous. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海洋上的塑料污染问题以及对此进行的解决方案。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists visiting tiny Henderson Island in the South Pacific recently made an alarming discovery. Although it is one of the most remote places on the earth and previously untouched by humans, the island was covered in plastic waste.(科学家们最近访问了南太平洋的亨德森岛，有了一个惊人的发现。尽管它是地球上最偏远的地方之一，以前也没有人类涉足，但岛上到处都是塑料垃圾)”可知，科学家们惊人的发现是亨德森岛上到处都是塑料。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Around 95% of plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. (大约95%的塑料制品无法回收，大量流入海洋)”可知，大多数塑料制品不能回收，大量流入海洋。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, there are some young minds working to clean up and protect the sea for future generations. While diving in Greece, young Boyan Slat noticed there was more plastic waste than fish. He decided right then to dedicate his life to solving this problem. Previously the problem was considered too big to solve; collecting the plastic with boats and nets would be expensive, would harm sea life, and would take thousands of years!

So he started The Ocean Cleanup project, which places very long floating barriers in the Pacific. Currents then concentrate the waste naturally so it can be collected and recycled. He hopes to reduce the patch by 50% in just five years.(然而，有一些年轻人正在为子孙后代清理和保护海洋而努力。在希腊潜水时，年轻的Boyan Slat注意到塑料垃圾比鱼还多。他当时就决定将自己的一生奉献给解决这个问题。以前，人们认为这个问题太大而无法解决；用船和网收集塑料将是昂贵的，会伤害海洋生物，并将需要数千年！但是，Boyan想，当大海可以穿过你的身体时，为什么要穿过大海呢？与洋流和环流一起工作将有助于收集废物。因此，他启动了“海洋清理”项目，在太平洋上放置非常长的漂浮屏障。水流会自然地浓缩废物，这样就可以收集和回收。他希望在五年内减少50%的垃圾)”可知，第四段的主旨是海洋清理项目是如何运作的。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But, Boyan thought, why move through the sea when the sea can move through you? To work with the currents and gyres would help collect the waste. So he started The Ocean Cleanup project, which places very long floating barriers in the Pacific. Currents then concentrate the waste naturally so it can be collected and recycled.

(他说：“今天的许多问题都是人们过去没有考虑到的事情的副作用。”)”可推知，Boyan Slat想出了清理项目，说今天的许多问题都是人们过去没有考虑到的事情的副作用，说明他是个聪明、有责任心的人。故选B。 D Is constant information-seeking on social media helpful during an emergency? One study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 people found that the more time participants spent consuming negative news in a day, the unhappier they felt. These findings are striking but leave a few questions unanswered. Does this doomscrolling make people unhappy or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll? And what would occur if we were “kindness scrolling”? To find out, researchers conducted a study where they showed hundreds of people real-world content on social media for 2 to 4 minutes. The social media featured either general news about crises, or news about kindness during crises. Findings were that those shown general crisis-related news experienced lower moods than those shown nothing at all. Meanwhile, people shown crisis news stories involving acts of kindness neither experienced the same decline in mood nor gained the boost in mood they’d predicted. These findings suggest that spending as little as 2 to 4 minutes consuming negative news about crisis can have a harmful impact on our mood. Although researchers didn’t see an improvement in mood among participants shown positive news stories involving acts of kindness, this may be because the stories were still related to crises. So what can we do to make our time on social media more pleasurable? Can we delete our social media accounts altogether? But how realistic is it to distance ourselves from platforms that connect nearly half of the world’s population? Given that avoidance might not be practical, seek out content that makes you happy to balance out your newsflashes. This may be images of cute pets, beautiful landscapes or delicious food videos. Sharing good things in your life can improve your mood, and your positive mood can spread to others. 32. How does the author perceive the result of the study conducted in March 2020? A Inaccurate. B. Unreliable. C. Doubtful. D. Imperfect. 33. What does the underlined word “doomscrolling” in the second paragraph mean? A. Surfing the Internet. B. Reading negative news. C. Tending to get excited. D. Assessing information wisely. 34. What does the study described in the second paragraph indicate? A. Positive news stories help improve one’s mood. B. Negative news consuming does harm to one’s mood. C. Crisis-related acts of kindness can change one’s mood. D. The longer one reads negative news，the less content one will be. 35. What does the author suggest social-media users do? A. Share images or videos. B. Keep off platforms. C. View pleasurable newsflashes. D. Log out social media accounts. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在社交媒体上阅读有关危机的负面新闻可能会对我们的情绪产生有害影响，为了在社交媒体上的时间更愉快，我们可以找那些让人乐于平衡新闻快讯的内容。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“One study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 people found that the more time participants spent consuming negative news in a day, the unhappier they felt. These findings are striking but leave a few questions unanswered. (2020年3月进行的一项涉及6000多人的研究发现，参与者每天花在负面新闻上的时间越多，他们就越不开心。这些发现令人震惊，但仍有一些问题没有答案)”可知，对于2020年3月进行的研究发现，作者认为仍有一些问题没有答案，可得出作者认为它的研究结果是不完善的（Imperfect）。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“One study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 people found that the more time participants spent consuming negative news in a day, the unhappier they felt. (2020年3月进行的一项涉及6000多人的研究发现，参与者每天花在负面新闻上的时间越多，他们就越不开心)”和第二段中的“Does this doomscrolling make people unhappy, or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll? (这种doomscrolling会让人们不开心吗，还是不开心的人更容易doomscroll？)”可知，在社交媒体上越阅读负面新闻，人就越会不开心，可得出是阅读负面新闻会让人们不开心，doomscrolling在此处意为“阅读负面新闻（Reading negative news）”。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“These findings suggest that spending as little as 2 to 4 minutes consuming negative news about crisis can have a harmful impact on our mood.

Feeling hungry or full before bed makes your child uncomfortable. ____39____ ____40____ Most children receive a portion of their recommended amount of sleep each day from naps.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些帮助更好入睡的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“For teenagers, the importance of adequate nightly sleep remains constant. Enough shut-eye time is crucial to both physical health and cognitive functioning.(对于青少年来说，每晚充足睡眠的重要性始终不变。充足的睡眠时间对身体健康和认知功能都至关重要)”以及后文“Parents are deeply worried about this. Here are some tips for parents to cushion the blow from the school stuff, such as earlier school start time and mounting amounts of homework.(家长们对此深感忧虑。这里有一些建议给家长们，以缓解学校问题带来的冲击，比如上学时间提前和作业数量增加)”可知，本句是在说明让家长们感到忧虑的问题：调查显示五分之一的青少年睡眠时间不足7小时。故G选项“据说，调查显示五分之一的青少年睡眠时间不足7小时”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Set up a bedtime routine. A regular bedtime routine starting around the same time each night encourages good sleep patterns.(建立一个就寝时间。每晚固定的就寝时间可以促进良好的睡眠模式)”以及后文“For old ones, this might include a quiet and reflective chat.(对于上了年纪的人来说，这可能包括一次安静而沉思的聊天)”可知，本段的主旨是建立就寝时间，且后文提到了对上了年纪的人的建议，可知本句是针对年纪小的人群的建议。故E选项“固定的洗浴时间和讲故事时间，帮助幼儿做好睡觉的准备”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Check noise and light in your child’s bedroom.(检查孩子卧室的噪音和光线)”以及后文“Check if your child’s bedroom is too light or noisy for sleep. Blue light from various screens might contain melatonin levels and delay sleepiness.(检查孩子的卧室是否太亮或太吵，不适合睡觉。来自各种屏幕的蓝光可能含有褪黑激素水平，延缓睡意)”可知，本段的主旨是关于噪音和光线对睡眠的影响的，后文提到太亮或太吵，不适合睡觉，可见要安静且光线昏暗。故D选项“安静、光线昏暗的空间对良好的睡眠很重要”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Ensure good dinner with reasonable amounts. The saying goes that we should eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon and a farmer at night. But the farmer-way of dinner doesn’t apply to your children. They need more nutrition. But make sure your child has a right amount of evening meal. Feeling hungry or full before bed makes your child uncomfortable.(保证合理的饭量。俗话说，我们应该早上吃得像国王，中午吃得像王子，晚上吃得像农民。但这种农民式的晚餐并不适用于你的孩子。他们需要更多的营养。但是要确保你的孩子吃了适量的晚餐。睡前感到饥饿或饱腹会让孩子不舒服)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，上文提到了睡前感到饥饿或饱腹会让孩子不舒服，故本句承接上文说明导致的结果是让孩子难以入睡。故C选项“这会让你的孩子难以入睡”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Most children receive a portion of their recommended amount of sleep each day from naps. Not sleeping through the night is fairly common for young children, so they need an extra boost from daytime naps to ensure they get enough sleep for any given 24-hour period.(大多数儿童每天从午睡中获得的睡眠时间占他们建议睡眠时间的一部分。对于年幼的孩子来说，晚上不睡觉是很常见的，所以他们需要从白天的午睡中获得额外的刺激，以确保他们在任何给定的24小时内都有足够的睡眠)”可知，本段主要说明了睡午觉的作用，A选项Take a good nap对应后文中naps。故A选项“好好睡个午觉”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30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。 Pumpkin carving at Halloween is a family tradition.

For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. It is no wonder then that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood. One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. Their increased numbers have also harmed plants and other wildlife. As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. Perhaps this is one reason why so many Australians live near the coast. Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters. The list of seafood available at the local fish market is like a tour of the coast: salmon, prawns, oysters, tuna, shark, crab, and many more. However, if you want to really take in the full experience, you should go to the fish market in Sydney early in the morning and see the fish being prepared for sale. Better yet, you can sign up to go deep-sea fishing. But then, how is all this food cooked? Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue, or “barbie”. Given the fine weather, Australians love to eat outside. Casual friendliness is the key to such meals. It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill. Often these barbecues feature a “mixed grill”, which means cooking all kinds of meat, seafood, and vegetables. So, at an Australian barbecue, you don’t have to eat kangaroo—or even eat meat at all—if you don’t want to. Beyond this, what is Australian cooking? As Australia is a diverse country with people from many nations, Australian cooking now has flavors and cuisines from around the globe. No matter who you are and no matter what cuisine interests you, you are always sure to find a warm welcome and a full plate waiting for you in Australia. 24. Why does Australian cuisine centre around red meat and seafood? A. Most of the Australians like red meat and seafood. B. Red meat and seafood do good to people’s health. C. Australia is home to grazing animals and has a long coastline. D. Australians have no other cuisine choices except meat and sea food. 25. Why is the Australian government encouraging people to eat kangaroos? A. The kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. B. The meat of kangaroos is delicious and full of nutrition. C. The kangaroo has the largest number in the Australian animals. D. Kangaroos have caused too much trouble to other plants and wildlife. 26. If you want to truly learn about the seafood in Australia, the best choice is ________. A. to sign up for deep-sea fishing B. to go to a barbecue get-together C. to travel along the coastline in a car D. to pay a visit to a fish market in Sydney 27. Which is the suitable topic of this passage? A. What’s cooking in Australia? B. Are kangaroos important to Australians? C. Is nature of Australian wildlife and geography unique? D. Why is barbecue the favourite way of cooking food in Australia? C Scientists visiting tiny Henderson Island in the South Pacific recently made an alarming discovery. Although it is one of the most remote places on the earth and previously untouched by humans, the island was covered in plastic waste. They calculated there were 38 million pieces of plastic, weighing almost 18 tons, with thousands of new pieces washing up each day. “No country has a free pass-we found plastic from everywhere,” said one scientist. “We all have a responsibility, and we have to sit up and pay attention. This is not an issue to ignore. We need to do something now to protect the sea.” Plastic waste in the sea has long been known about, but only now are we discovering the true extent of the problem. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, so all the plastic ever produced still exists somewhere. Around 95% of plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. Currents collect this waste in large circular systems called “gyres”. One of the largest is in the Pacific Ocean, an area now known as the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. The problem gets worse as plastic breaks down into very small pieces, or “micro plastic”. This is eaten by fish and leads to massive species loss. Humans also eat these fish, and micro plastic has even been found in tap water around the world. The problem has spread too far to ignore. The plastic on Henderson Island accounts for just 2 seconds’ worth of global annual plastic production. That production will more than triple by 2050. Then there will be the same weight of plastic in the sea as fish. However, there are some young minds working to clean up and protect the sea for future generations. While diving in Greece, young Boyan Slat noticed there was more plastic waste than fish. He decided right then to dedicate his life to solving this problem. Previously the problem was considered too big to solve; collecting the plastic with boats and nets would be expensive, would harm sea life, and would take thousands of years! But, Boyan thought, why move through the sea when the sea can move through you? To work with the currents and gyres would help collect the waste. So he started The Ocean Cleanup project, which places very long floating barriers in the Pacific. Currents then concentrate the waste naturally so it can be collected and recycled. He hopes to reduce the patch by 50% in just five years. “Many problems today are side effects of things people didn’t think about in the past”, he says. Sea plastic is a symbol of the negative effects of our lifestyle and technology. Our aim should be to create a new lifestyle for this century. Protecting the sea from plastic is a good place to start. 28. What alarming discovery did the scientists make? A. They discovered a tiny island in the South Pacific Ocean. B. They discovered there was plastic everywhere on Henderson Island. C. They discovered that there was no human beings on Henderson Island. D. They discovered Henderson Island was the most remote place in the world. 29 What can we learn from the passage? A. Micro plastic is merely harmful to the fish in the sea. B. Not all the countries have to face the problem of plastic trash. C. Nowadays there is the same weight of plastic in the sea as fish. D. Most plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. 30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. How the Ocean Cleanup project works. B. The problem of plastic cleanup is too big to tackle. C. Let the sea itself decompose the plastic waste naturally. D. Collecting plastic with boats and nets would be a good way. 31. Which of the following words best describe Boyan Slat? A. Considerate and straightforward. B. Intelligent and responsible. C. Knowledgeable and sensitive. D. Devoted and courageous. D Is constant information-seeking on social media helpful during an emergency? One study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 people found that the more time participants spent consuming negative news in a day, the unhappier they felt. These findings are striking but leave a few questions unanswered. Does this doomscrolling make people unhappy or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll? And what would occur if we were “kindness scrolling”? To find out, researchers conducted a study where they showed hundreds of people real-world content on social media for 2 to 4 minutes. The social media featured either general news about crises, or news about kindness during crises. Findings were that those shown general crisis-related news experienced lower moods than those shown nothing at all. Meanwhile, people shown crisis news stories involving acts of kindness neither experienced the same decline in mood nor gained the boost in mood they’d predicted. These findings suggest that spending as little as 2 to 4 minutes consuming negative news about crisis can have a harmful impact on our mood. Although researchers didn’t see an improvement in mood among participants shown positive news stories involving acts of kindness, this may be because the stories were still related to crises. So what can we do to make our time on social media more pleasurable? Can we delete our social media accounts altogether? But how realistic is it to distance ourselves from platforms that connect nearly half of the world’s population? Given that avoidance might not be practical, seek out content that makes you happy to balance out your newsflashes. This may be images of cute pets, beautiful landscapes or delicious food videos. Sharing good things in your life can improve your mood, and your positive mood can spread to others. 32. How does the author perceive the result of the study conducted in March 2020? A. Inaccurate. B. Unreliable. C. Doubtful. D. Imperfect. 33. What does the underlined word “doomscrolling” in the second paragraph mean? A. Surfing the Internet. B. Reading negative news. C. Tending to get excited. D. Assessing information wisely. 34. What does the study described in the second paragraph indicate? A. Positive news stories help improve one’s mood. B. Negative news consuming does harm to one’s mood. C. Crisis-related acts of kindness can change one’s mood. D. The longer one reads negative news，the less content one will be. 35. What does the author suggest social-media users do? A. Share images or videos. B. Keep off platforms. C. View pleasurable newsflashes. D. Log out social media accounts. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For teenagers, the importance of adequate nightly sleep remains constant.
