Quizlet When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flash card app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It’s a simple concept, but it’s highly effective. Spotify Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts (播客) , and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use with your existing habits. If Spotify is already on your phone，you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English, or make your own. Beelinguapp Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible. It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side by side. Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairy tales, science to current news articles. There’s even a “karaoke” feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings. Tandem Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital “language exchange” by sharing voice notes, or using the video chat. It’s a great way to test your English skills out with real people. 21.What is Spotify intended to help people do? A.Develop a good habit. B.Listen to music or podcasts. C.Learn a foreign language. D.Memorize words with flashcards. 22.What is the advantage of Beelinguapp? A.Learners can use their native languages as reference. B.It’s convenient for learners to translate voice notes. C.It provides learners with a chance to tell their own stories. D.Learners can sing English songs along to the music. 23.Which app can help people interact with a native speaker? A.Quizlet. B.Spotify. C.Beelinguapp. D.Tandem. B George Berzsenyi is a retired math professor living in Milwaukee County. Most people have never heard of him. But Berzsenyi has had a remarkable impact on American science and mathematics. He has mentored (指导) thousands of high school students，some of whom went on to become the nation’s top mathematicians and scientists. I learned about Berzsenyi from a chance conversation with a scientist named Vamsi Mootha. In the late 1980s，when Mootha was in high school in Beaumont，Texas，he won a science fair. A few days later，a letter arrived in the mail. “It said，‘Dear Mootha，congratulations on winning the Houston Science Fair; this is quite the accomplishment’，” Mootha recalls. “But then when I started reading the next paragraph，I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach，”Mootha says. The letter went on to say that the math problem young Mootha solved to win the fair had been solved hundreds of years earlier. Mootha said，“Of course，the letter went on，‘You can’t be expected to know this because you’re only a sophomore (二年级学生) in high school，and perhaps you haven’t had the appropriate mentorship...If you’re interested in solving original problems，you can write back to me’.” The letter was signed by George Berzsenyi. At the time，Berzsenyi was a math professor at Lamar University in Beaumont. Mootha says the letter upset him because he thought he had discovered something new. But then he decided to take up his offer and write back to him. They got together，and the older mathematician and the young genius hit it off. Berzsenyi would give Mootha those original problems to solve and an appreciation for mathematics. “He also sort of instilled (逐渐灌输) a love for mathematics and a love for sort of elegant mathematics that made sense to me，” Mootha says. Eventually Mootha headed off to Stanford University，then Harvard medical school where he works today. A half－dozen or so years ago，Mootha found out he had a lot of company in being mentored by George Berzsenyi. 24.What may be George Berzsenyi’s greatest accomplishment? A.Solving the most challenging math problem worldwide. B.Changing the public’s attitude towards American science. C.Being considered the best mathematician of his country. D.Mentoring the best mathematicians and scientists nationwide. 25.What’s George Berzsenyi’s main purpose in writing to Mootha? A.To offer Mootha guidance. B.To laugh at Mootha for his mistake. C.To congratulate Mootha on his achievement. D.To discuss with Mootha about some original problems. 26.How did Mootha react to the letter in the end? A.He decided to fight back. B.He became very interested. C.He became greatly discouraged. D.He decided to prove he was right. 27.What do we know about Mootha from Paragraph 5? A.He didn’t get along well with Berzsenyi. B.He fell in love with mathematics as a little child. C.He didn’t think elegant mathematics made sense. D.He changed his attitude towards math because of Berzsenyi. C Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it，researchers at the University of Texas discovered. Their findings suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience，more attention should be focused on it. “Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will，but how our brains do that is still being questioned. Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and think out ways to control this，we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories，” said Jarrod Lewis－Peacock，the study’s senior author. Memories are dynamic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, adjusted and reorganized through experience. The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information，and much of this happens automatically during sleep. Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget，but also that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember. “A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism. Too strong，and it will strengthen the memory; too weak，and you won’t change it，” said Tracy Wang，lead author of the study. “Importantly，it’s the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory，and when this activation hits the sweet spot at the appropriate level，that’s when it leads to later forgetting of that experience.” The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces. “We’re learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information，and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget，” said Lewis－Peacock. “Hopefully，we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong，sticky emotional memories，which can have a powerful effect on our health and well－being.” 28.What remains a puzzle to researchers? A.How our memories can be strengthened. B.How our brains voluntarily forget something. C.What effect unwanted memories have on our brains. D.Whether our brains can voluntarily forget something. 29.Which of the following can best describe memories? A.Active. B.Lasting. C.Casual. D.Ridiculous. 30.What can we learn from the text? A.It requires less attention to forget than to remember. B.The more active the brain is，the faster it forgets. C.Humans can’t keep memories under control. D.Humans forget faces less easily than scenes. 31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.What it takes to forget an unwanted experience B.Strong memories have a great influence on health C.Forgetting uses more brain power than remembering D.How to train our brains to voluntarily forget something D The new radio programme from self－help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life. I was, however，interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away? Isn’t it always the case that just as you think you’ve got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that’s not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving. There was the work boundary that said unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn’t take it—which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding. There was the boundary that said I wasn’t to buy anything until I’d reached my savings goal—which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day. And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn’t quite what I had predicted. Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time？Did I need to figure them all out again? I’ve spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I’ve secretly put in place, and I’ve let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I’m a beginner again, and that’s fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful. 32.What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle’s programme? A.The importance of confirming our boundaries. B.The benefits of boundaries to our happiness. C.The urgency of maintaining our boundaries. D.The necessity of reassessing our boundaries. 33.What can be concluded as to the author’s views on boundaries? A.We should favour savings goals over boundaries. B.Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends. C.Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work. D.We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience. 34.How did the author feel about boundaries after the adjustments? A.Relaxed. B.Depressed. C.Pressured. D.Amused. 35.What is probably the best title for the passage? A.Just when you think you’ve got things sorted... B.Just where you believe there’s no way out... C.How can we live a life without boundaries? D.How do we become victims of boundaries? 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。 In Stressful Times，Make Stress Work for You These are stressful times.Fortunately，we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well－being.Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact.__36__ Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala—the center of emotion and fear—to the prefrontal cortex，which is responsible for executive control and planning.In other words，when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress，it moves us from operating from a fearful，reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.__37__ Step 2: Own Your Stress The next step is to welcome，or “own” your stress.We only stress about things that we care about.__38__ Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “I’m stressed about...because I deeply care about...” Step 3: Use Your Stress Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most. Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress？__39__ There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control.__40__ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises.The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time. A.Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose. B.You can release stress from the past and more with emotional focus techniques. C.By owning our stress，we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress. D.But—as many people are noticing—there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear. E.Instead，it’s our mind－set about stress that matters most. F.But later，we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis. G.This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety. 第三部分　语言运用(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。 A 70－year－old Air Force veteran (退伍军人) from Salem，Illinois is being praised as a hero for his good deed.

It started last week when my friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother Mary to carry boxes from her garage to her car for the homeless shelter rummage sale (旧杂物义卖). At the sight of a big old trunk (大箱子)，we asked Mary what was inside.But she told us that as she had lost the key，she had to find a master locksmith to figure it out.“Let me have a try！” said Ollie.“I bet I can open that lock in two minutes flat！Maybe there’s a treasure inside，like gold or diamonds or an ancient map！” Mary smiled，“I’ll tell you what.If you two treasure hunters can open this trunk，you can have it，along with whatever is inside.” Ollie got a tool kit and we set out to open the lock.But he definitely lost that bet.Those two minutes turned into two hours，with no luck at all.We had tried every tool in the kit，but the lock wouldn’t move slightly. “It’s no use，” Ollie sighed.“I guess we have to give up.” “But we can’t give up！” I said.“What about ‘If at first you don’t succeed，try，try again’？” Ollie shook his head.“Unless you know a magical key fairy，we’re never getting this unlocked.” Just then，my little brother Tex showed up.He showed great interest in the trunk.“It looks like an upside－down boat！Can I turn it over and pretend I’m sailing in the ocean？” “Sure，” Ollie replied.“It’s no good for anything else.” “Ahoy！” Tex said，climbing on top after Ollie and I turned it over.“I’m the captain！” He giggled as he jumped up and down.And right then，a screw (螺丝) from a hinge (铰链) came loose and rolled to the floor. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 “That’s it！I know how to open it！” said Ollie.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Oh！There were only lots of shoes in the trunk！　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 听力原文 Text 1 M：Hi，Linda，I want to know something about Canada.I heard that you once lived there.

Oh！There were only lots of shoes in the trunk！Ollie and I were pretty disappointed at the discovery，which wasn’t diamonds or gold.Seeing our frustration，Mary patted us on the shoulder，saying，“These shoes are in such great shape that we can raise money by selling them at the rummage sale.” Our faces lit up and a sense of achievement crept over us.We found “treasure” after all！Our persistence finally paid off！If at first you don’t succeed，try，try again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
