A Goose for the Bride，Korea 　　According to Korean tradition，grooms once gave their mother-in-law wild geese or ducks; they are monogamous(一夫一妻制的)animals and represent the groom's pure intentions and loyalty to his bride.In a more modern tradition，brides and grooms exchange wooden geese and ducks on their wedding day as a sign of their commitment. Blackening，Scotland 　　In this Scottish tradition，the bride，groom，or both are taken out on the day before their wedding，covered in treacle(糖浆)，ash，feathers，and flour by friends and family.The celebratory mess was originally carried out to avoid evil spirits and bring good luck. Log Cutting，Germany 　　In Germany，newlyweds must instantly put their bond to the test by working together to saw(锯)a log in half in front of all their guests.The act is intended to show the bride and groom's ability to work together and to face the obstacles that may come throughout their marriage. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个国家的不同的婚礼文化。 细节理解题。根据Unity Bow，Australia部分中“At the end，guests place the stones in a decorative bowl”可知，客人在澳大利亚人的婚礼上经常会看到满是石头的碗，故选B项。 21．What can guests often see in an Australian wedding ceremony?

Can I give you a hug？” I laughed and enthusiastically responded，“Of course you may！” And she gave me a giant squeeze. 　　“Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied，“I'm here to meet a rich husband，get married，and have a couple of kids...” “No seriously.” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！” she told me. 　　We became instant friends.Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop.Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon. 　　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.There are secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams，you die.We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change.Have no regrets.” 　　At the end of the year Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years before.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了87岁的Rose圆梦的故事，告诉我们：人们不应该因年老而停止追求，而是因为停止追求而变老。 24．How did the writer react to Rose's first request?

A．It results in changes in their moods. B．It does harm to the body clock. C．It damages the liver severely. D．It makes people become heavier. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It can increase our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease，it can cause weight gain，and it can increase our risk of diabetes(糖尿病)．”可知，睡眠不足会增加我们患高血压和心脏病的风险，会导致体重增加，还会增加我们患糖尿病的风险。故选D项。 √ 29．What do we know about the volunteers in the second group? A．They were allowed to have the least sleep in a week. B．They could have as much sleep as possible on weekends. C．Their liver and muscle insulin sensitivity was reduced. D．Their ability to regulate blood sugar was found worsened. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One group was allowed to get a full night's sleep...allowed as much sleep as they wanted over the weekend”可知，第一组可以睡一整晚；接下来的一组(第二组)每晚只睡五个小时；第三组工作日睡5个小时，周末能睡多少睡多少。由此可知，第二组的睡眠时间最短，故选A项。 √ 30．What does the author advise readers to do according to the text? A．To sleep extra hours on weekends. B．To balance their work and sleep. C．To trade some sweets as possible. D．To get enough sleep on weekdays. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So make a date with a pillow.”及前文对睡眠不足对身体健康不利的影响可知，作者建议读者平衡好工作与睡眠，故选B项。 √ 31．From which part of a website is the text probably taken? A．Culture. B．Health. C．Sci-tech. D．Fashion. 文章出处题。本文通过实验研究说明利用周末睡懒觉来弥补周内睡眠不足对身体健康有很多不利的影响。由此可推断出，本文可能选自健康板块，故选B项。 √ D 　　Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians.He completed 722 musical works.Unfortunately，the master died while still working on his 10th Symphony (交响曲)．Now，a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist's final composition. 　　Dr.Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019.He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday in December 2020.He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task.They included music composer Walter and Dr.Ahmed，the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market. 　　Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music，and then，narrowed it to just Beethoven's work.Meanwhile，Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony. 　　The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition.To stay true to Beethoven's original composition，Ahmed's team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening.Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions.And piece by piece，the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony! 　　The composition was firstly released on October 9，2021.Not surprisingly，it caused some controversy(争议)．Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process.Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。 32．What is the purpose of the writer in writing paragraph 1? A．To voice his greatest respect for Beethoven. B．To compare traditional music and AI music. C．To present the team of music experts' hard work. D．To introduce an innovative method to create music. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now，a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist's final composition.”可知，现在一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了这位艺术家的最终作品。可推断出，第一段的主要目的是介绍一种创新的音乐创作方法，故选D项。 √ 33．Which can be used to best describe the team's work? A．Inspiring. B．Steady. C．Challenging. D．Boring. 推理判断题。根据第三、四段内容，尤其根据第四段中“The team then began the slow and careful task...”及“And piece by piece，the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony！”可推断出，这个团队的工作是充满挑战性的，故选C项。 √ 34．What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean? A．Question. B．Copy. C．Direct. D．Speed. 词义猜测题。根据下文“AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.”可知，人工智能软件并不是要取代人类——它只是一个帮助艺术家以新的方式表达自己的工具。由此可推断出，批评者认为，技术不应该被用来复制人类的创造过程。划线词“replicate”意为“复制”，故选B项。 √ 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Beethoven's 10th Symphony Is Eventually Staged B．AI Helps Complete Beethoven's Unfinished Symphony C．A Team of Experts Conduct A Mission Impossible D．A Controversial Way Successfully Interprets Beethoven's Music 标题归纳题。根据第一段中“Now，a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist's final composition.”可知，本文介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬未完成的最终作品，故B项(人工智能帮助完成贝多芬未完成的交响乐)为最佳标题。 √ 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please. 36 For example，a travel partner can provide practical support and celebrate in the rewards of first-hand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures.Here are several steps to find a travel partner who will improve your journey. 37 Traveling should be fun.When you are on a trip，you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy.　Preferably，your companion will want to do the same things as you.

D．But traveling with a partner has its benefits，too. 空前句“Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please.”介绍了独自旅行有好处；空后例子“a travel partner can provide practical support”可知，旅行伙伴有好处。故本空和空前句为转折关系，本空介绍与同伴旅行有其好处，故选D项(但和伙伴一起旅行也有好处。) 　　______________________________________ Traveling should be fun. When you are on a trip，you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy. Preferably，your companion will want to do the same things as you. A．Look for someone with common interests. 根据空后句“your companion will want to do the same things as you”可知，本段建议要寻找有共同兴趣的人，因为有共同兴趣的人才会想和你做同样的事情，故选A项(寻找有共同兴趣的人。)。 　　Discuss financial plans.Before you travel，you should plan a budget. _____________________________________________________You don't want to be planning an expensive getaway when your friend is looking for budget travel. 根据空后句“You don't want to be planning an expensive getaway when your friend is looking for budget travel.”可知，选择旅行伙伴时，要确保你们的金钱观相同，也就是消费能力相近，故选E项(确保你们对钱的看法一致。)。 E．Make sure that you are on the same page concerning money. 　　Have an honest conversation.If you are thinking about traveling with a companion，take some time to have an open discussion.Schedule a time to sit down and talk.Try saying，“I know we've talked about the idea of traveling through Europe together.Let's have a coffee this week and actually talk that through.”_______________________________________ You should also talk about your travel style.
