From 2021 to 2022, Shanghai turned 62 woodlands into leisure(休闲) spaces, according to a report by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau. These leisure spaces open up forests so that visitors can walk through nature and get closer to wildlife, according to the bureau. The city has also been working to build more woodland parks. In urban areas, companies and universities have chosen to “open their gates” and share their green spaces. For example, the Shanghai Research Institute of Sport Science opened its 1,000-square-meter green land to the public, providing more space for tourists. In Nanning, Guangxi, parks are not only for leisure. The People’s Park hosts non-profit(非盈利的) shows to promote local intangible heritage culture, such as Nanning’s traditional Yong Opera(邕剧).The new Nanning Flowers Park has several courts for playing ball games and holds fitness events like tug-of-war matches. Apart from meeting people’s needs, ▲ . Beijing’s Central Green Forest Park, opened in 2020, is now carbon-neutral. The park’s facilities(设施) produce carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)，but the plants there take in(吸收) more to make up for it. The park also reuses rainwater and creates green energy, such as solar power. As cities in China become greener, “park cities” are becoming a reality. First proposed in 2018, this idea aims to improve the natural environment and meet people’s needs for a better living experience, noted China Daily. 39. Why did Shanghai turn woodlands into leisure spaces? A. To make the city much greener. B. To provide more space for tourists. C. To allow visitors to enjoy nature. D. To hold fitness events like ball games. 40. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. parks can also be good for the environment B. parks also pay attention to the needs of plants C. parks also provide homes for homeless animals D. parks can make people happy when they are sad 41. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Building greener cities with parks B. Getting closer to nature and wildlife C. Improving the natural environment D. Meeting people’s needs for better lives C Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to show the best pictures of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections(瑕疵) away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies-Living in the Era of Filtered(滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy(虚幻). “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. In the past, people might compare(比较) their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected(连接) to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said. “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam(美颜)?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good. I have my health.” 42. What may people do before they show the best of themselves on social media? A. Wearing long false eyelashes. B. Redding their lips before going out. C. Using apps to improve photos. D. Smoothing their skin in the morning. 43. What does the underlined word “fake” mean? A. lucky B. unreal C.ugly D. beautiful 44. What did the author write this passage for? A. To advise people to care more about appearance. B. To advise people not to use apps on mobile phones. C. To advise people to spend too much time comparing with others. D. To advise people to be confident and care less about appearance. 45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 非选择题（共55分） 五、填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A) 根据括号中所给的中文提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 46.

It is technology(技术) that makes our life much better! Here are some examples. ●The way people keep in touch Then: Snail mail (邮寄信件) was a main way. I remember having pen pals in primary school and being very excited about writing letters and buying stamps. Although there’s something good about the idea of snail mail, it often took a longer time and brought trouble for both the letter givers and the receivers, and even the postmen. Now: Today, people can receive our message on social media the minute we send it. Video chat is often made as well. Technology has successfully shortened the time from several days to minutes. But because it has become so easy, we often neglect(忽视) a face-to-face conversation with others. ●The way people travel Then: People once thought that the roads were so dangerous. When cars were a new invention, a man walked in front of them with a red flag, reminding other people to be careful. Now, of course, we are used to them. Now: My grandparents still can’t get over the fact that with a click of a button, you can have a car pick you up right to your doorstep. Besides, with the help of technology, travel can become a lot more eco-friendly. Gone are the days when you had to print out your airline or train tickets. Instead, we now have e-tickets. ●The way people relax and have fun Then: Over half a century ago, we were first introduced to the large and heavy box called a television set. Your grandparents can tell you that when they first started watching TV, pictures were black and white. Fewer TV shows were provided for us in the early years, and most of them were about family or news. Now: Programs about almost everything can be easily found. We can read news on the Internet, read books on e-readers and watch movies online, too. Technology has made our life easier, faster and more interesting. It seems that our dependence(依靠) on technology isn’t such a bad thing. Comparison about life in the 71 and at present Then Now 72 ●People were happy about having pen pals and being very excited. ●The way of snail mail was 73 and brought trouble. ●People can 74 the message quickly after they sent it. ●People are short of a face-to-face conversation. Transportation ●A helper held a red flag and asked others not to go 75 cars. ●Travel becomes much 76 and faster with the help of technology. Entertainment ●The TV was large and heavy. ●Pictures were black and white on TV. ●Only a small number of shows were available on TV. ●More programs are on show on TV. ●People have more ways to 77 and have fun. Conclusion: Modern technology really makes a lot of difference to our life. Voice your ideas: · 78. Give one more example to show that technology makes our life much better. ________________________________________________________________________. · 79. Do you agree that our dependence on technology isn’t such a bad thing? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________________________. B) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 80—84 的相应位置上。（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） Have you ever taken an online field trip? If not, you really should. Like real field trips, online field trips are also fun.
