Esther Wang appeared just hours after the rescue operation to find her was called off for the night. Wang got separated from her hiking group on a trail at Golden Ears Park in British Columbia at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), about 54 hours after she went missing, the 16-year-old girl showed up from the densely forested and mountainous area at around 9:30 p.m. on June 29, walking out on the very same path she had been traveling.
Sixteen teams were involved in the search from across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland up to the Sea-to-Sky corridor, “She is fine, just extremely tired and sore, bitten by mosquitoes.” RCMP leader Keith Schendel told City News. “So she is going to be taking some time to rest. Her parents had been there from the day's rescue efforts and she walked pretty much right into their arms.”
According to the letter sent by the girl to CTV News, Wang was filled with hopelessness and fear, but she knew she couldn’t give up. She wrote that she suddenly slipped and hit her head on some rocks at one point and lost her phone during the terrifying situation. She managed to get to a river and then followed the stream to a gravel path which took her to Hiker’s Beach.
But things started to slowly take a turn for the worse until it got better. “I began to feel dizzy, and I started to imagine things in front of me when there clearly wasn’t anyone around me,” she wrote in her letter. “I continued to encourage myself to keep moving forward and not to give up yet. It was around 9:15 p.m. when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.” Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.

It was around 9:15 p.m. when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.” Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.(但情况开始慢慢恶化,直到好转。她在信中写道:“我开始感到头晕,我开始想象我面前的东西,而我周围显然没有人。”“我一直鼓励自己继续前进,不要放弃。晚上9点15分左右,砂砾路在金溪停车场尽头,我可以看到远处有些人。我挥了挥手,立刻认出了我的父母,我试着向他们跑去。”在进行健康评估后,Wang与家人团聚)”可知,这个女孩在给CTV新闻的信中主要描述了她是如何安全返回的。故选C项。

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI — would benefit everyone.”
39. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
40. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
41. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should EI be taught in school?
B. How can students develop high EI?
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
【答案】39. B 40. A 41. C
【解析】

【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages. (最让研究人员感到惊讶的是,尽管年龄不同,但这种关联仍然存在。)”可知,最让研究人员惊讶的是情商对各个年龄段学生的学习都有影响。故选B项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. (相反,她建议采取涉及整个学校的干预措施,包括额外的教师培训,并关注教师的福祉和情绪技能。)”可知,MacCann建议为教师配备情绪技能方面的培训。故选A项。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. (根据美国心理学会发表的一项研究,能够更好地理解和有效管理自己情绪的学生,即具有情商这一技能的学生,在学校表现比那些情商较低的同学更好。)”可知,文章主要讲述了情商对学业成绩的影响,情商高的学生在学校表现更好。C项“Students with high EI do better in school (情商高的学生在学校表现更好)”符合文章主旨,适宜作为标题。故选C项。
C
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored (订做的) to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?
A social media echo chamber (社交媒体回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media information that leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media sources. Adding in a few media sources with different opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.
By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
42. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?
A. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
B. People contact like-minded online users effectively.
C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.
43. What does the phrase “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Track. B. Identify.
C. Improve. D. Provide.
44. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?
A. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
B. Criticizing all the things on social media.
C. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
D. Researching primary sources of information.
45. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C. To promote the use of various social media sites.
D. To inform people of new technology developments.
【答案】42. D 43. C 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体回音室是指一个人体验量身定制的媒体信息,将对立的观点和不同的声音排除在外。本文主要分析了社交媒体回音室产生的原因,并就如何确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里提出建议。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.(因此,人们根据我们先前存在的信仰和观点来看待和接受信息)”可知,社交媒体回音室的结果是人们只能得到证实他们信仰的信息。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词后的句子“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.(加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源,至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么)”可推知,人们需要改进媒体来源,从而真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体。因此beef up意为“加强;改进”。和C项意思相近。故选C。

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.
The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8℃.
Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.
Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.
The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear. However, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.
46. How does the new coating work to remove fog?
A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.
B. By keeping cool air away from the object.
C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.
D. By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.
47. Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products?
A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.
B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.
C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.
D. To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular .
48. What is the limitation of the new coating?
A. It is considerably expensive.
B. It depends on sunlight to work.
C. It takes too much time to produce.
D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.
49. What do the researchers plan to do next?
A. Apply for a patent for the invention.
B. Develop the product for more practical uses.
C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.
D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.

You wouldn't think that a few ___67___(month) of exercise in your teens would be enough ___68___ the rest of your life, and that's also true for building your vocabulary--you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.
One of the ___69___(effect) ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to ___70___(real) read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn't as hard as it ___71___(sound), and it is far better than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while ___72___(read) an interesting piece of literature.

考查冠词。句意:和生活中许多事情一样,积累词汇也是一个不断发展的过程。由语境可知填“一个”,欧宁以元音音素开头, “一个”用不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an。
【66题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:通过分析句子结构可知,_______means you'll just keep getting better and better.是定语从句,空白处所填的词指代逗号前的there’s enough room for improvement,which在句中为关系代词,引导非限定性定语从句,并在句中作主语。故填which。
【67题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:你认为青少年时期几个月的记忆锻炼不够。month为可数名词,且由a few可知month应用复数形式。故填months。
【68题详解】

【69题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:读好书是扩大词汇量最有效的方法之一。此处要表达的是“最有效的方法之一”,因此填most effective。
【70题详解】
考查词性转换。句意:你需要一周至少真正读一本书。此处应用副词修饰动词 read,因此填really。
【71题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:这件事并不像听起来那么难。描述的是一般事实,而且主语为it,因此用sound的一般现在时第三人称单数形式。故填sounds.
【72题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你在阅读一篇有趣的文学故事时增长词汇量。逻辑主语you与动词read为主动关系,故用现在分词reading ... 作状语;也可视为状语从句while you are reading... 的省略形式。故填reading。
【73题详解】
考查代词。句意:另一个好处是你不知不觉中学习到了新词和它们的用法。use在此处是名词,故用形容词性物主代词their作定语。故填their。
【74题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你自然会在对话中使用这些词汇。learned / learnt作后置定语修饰words,表示“已学过的词”, words与learn是被动的关系,因此用过去分词。故填learned/learnt。

Esther Wang appeared just hours after the rescue operation to find her was called off for the night. Wang got separated from her hiking group on a trail at Golden Ears Park in British Columbia at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), about 54 hours after she went missing, the 16-year-old girl showed up from the densely forested and mountainous area at around 9:30 p.m. on June 29, walking out on the very same path she had been traveling.
Sixteen teams were involved in the search from across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland up to the Sea-to-Sky corridor, “She is fine, just extremely tired and sore, bitten by mosquitoes.” RCMP leader Keith Schendel told City News. “So she is going to be taking some time to rest. Her parents had been there from the day's rescue efforts and she walked pretty much right into their arms.”
According to the letter sent by the girl to CTV News, Wang was filled with hopelessness and fear, but she knew she couldn’t give up. She wrote that she suddenly slipped and hit her head on some rocks at one point and lost her phone during the terrifying situation. She managed to get to a river and then followed the stream to a gravel path which took her to Hiker’s Beach.
But things started to slowly take a turn for the worse until it got better. “I began to feel dizzy, and I started to imagine things in front of me when there clearly wasn’t anyone around me,” she wrote in her letter. “I continued to encourage myself to keep moving forward and not to give up yet. It was around 9:15 p.m. when the gravel road ended at the Gold Creek parking lot, and I could see some people in the distance. I waved and immediately, I recognized my parents and I tried to run towards them.” Wang was reunited with her family following a health assessment.
36. What do we know about the girl from Schendel’s words?
A. She had no serious injuries. B. She was suffering emotionally.
C. She recovered physically soon. D. She was grateful to the rescuers.
37. What caused the girl's terrifying situation according to the text?
A. Her carelessness. B. Her sudden accident.
C. Her physical weakness. D. Her poor sense of direction.
38. What did the girl mainly describe in her letter to CTV News?
A. How she felt after becoming lost. B. How she was helped when in horror.
C. How she managed to return to safety. D. How she was separated from her group.
B
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI — would benefit everyone.”
39. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study?
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
40. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
41. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should EI be taught in school?
B. How can students develop high EI?
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
C
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored (订做的) to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?
A social media echo chamber (社交媒体回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media information that leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media sources. Adding in a few media sources with different opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.
By accepting that our media buffet (自助餐) on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
42. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?
A People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
B. People contact like-minded online users effectively.
C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D. People only get information confirming their beliefs.
43. What does the phrase “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Track. B. Identify.
C. Improve. D. Provide.
44 Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?
A. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
B. Criticizing all the things on social media.
C. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
D. Researching primary sources of information.
45. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B. To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C. To promote the use of various social media sites.
D. To inform people of new technology developments.
D
A team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.
The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8℃.
Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.
Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.
The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear. However, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.
46. How does the new coating work to remove fog?
A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.
B. By keeping cool air away from the object.
C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.
D. By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.
47. Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products?
A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.
B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.
C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.
D. To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular .
48. What is the limitation of the new coating?
A. It is considerably expensive.
B. It depends on sunlight to work.
C. It takes too much time to produce.
D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.
49. What do the researchers plan to do next?
A. Apply for a patent for the invention.
B. Develop the product for more practical uses.
C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.
D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.
