It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance. Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art. In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow. Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day, a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses”. From then on, almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular. In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today. “As I look back on my life, it’s like a good day’s work. It was done and I feel satisfied with it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. Life is what we make it, has always been, and will always be,” she said. 30. When did Anna first take up painting? A. When she was a little girl. B. When she was about 80 years old. C. When she saw the blue mountains. D. When she helped her father on the farm. 31. According to Paragraph 3, what’s the main theme (主题) of Anna’s paintings? A. Farming. B. Animals. C. Country life. D. Family members. 32. Which of the following words can best describe Anna? A. Honest and friendly. B. Outgoing and independent. C. Clever and well-educated. D. Creative and hard-working. C While many people see chores as necessary pains, there are science-based reasons to change your thoughts about chores. It turns out that doing chores is not always in the ways that you might think. As researchers state here in a study, doing tasks which don’t need a lot of effort allows the mind to float around where it will. Your mind gets a break and allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, effortless tasks create more great ideas than difficult tasks or just resting. So, doing chores can lead to creative problem-solving. Chores are exercise snacks for health. The phrase “exercise snacks” refers to small, even tiny, pieces of physical activity, such as standing for a few minutes after sitting for a while. Taking a two-minute walk, or doing a chore like sweeping up the kitchen. Researchers have studied the effects of exercise snacks ranging (范围) from 30 seconds, like walking up a flight of stairs, to 10 minutes, like washing dishes. Some of the health effects include improved memory, reduced risk of some serious diseases, and longer life. Chores are related to our mental (心理的) health. Completing chores increases (增长) your sense of self-efficacy, known as a person’s belief that they have the ability and skills to reach their goals. Self-efficacy, which was first developed by Professor Albert Bandura in the 1970s, has been shown to increase confidence, low self-efficacy is connected with worries, sadness and hopelessness, while higher self-efficacy is connected with life satisfaction, self-confidence, social connection and growth mindset. Doing chores can reduce stress. A small study from Florida State University explored whether the chore of dish washing could reduce stress. Using a group of 51 students, they discovered that dishwashers who were asked to be mindful when washing dishes focusing on the smell of the soap, the warmth of the water, and the feel of the dishes— reported a decrease in nervousness by 27 percent and an increase in mental inspiration by 25 percent. Chores that reduce the mess can also reduce stress. So if you’ve been thinking about cleaning out that junk drawer, do it. You’ll receive more. 33. According to Paragraph 2, the writer may agree that we can ________ by doing chores. A. get less social B. live a better life C. become more inventive D. change ways of exercise 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. We need to eat snacks after sweeping up the kitchen. B. We can get a sense of achievement by doing chores. C. Using the soap when washing dishes increases efficacy. D. Doing chores every day decreases the creative thinking. 35. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why most people hate doing chores and offer ways to make chores less tiring. B. To introduce the science-supported advantages of doing chores and encourage people to do chores. C. To prove that doing chores like washing dishes is the best way to reduce stress and improve creativity. D. To teach readers how to use different chores to increase self-efficacy and achieve life satisfaction. D Micro-habits are small habits which require the smallest motivation (动机) or effort to complete. The idea is that micro-habit will slowly build on top of itself and result in something great over time. My middle school gym teacher introduced me to micro-habit in the form of weight lifting. He said, “Imagine weightlifting as stacking up (堆积) pieces of paper. Every day you lift weights, just pretend (假装) like you’re adding a piece of paper to a pile. On the first day, you start with one single piece of paper. After a month of weight lifting, you could have as many as 30 sheets of paper stacked up. After several years of keeping up with weight lifting, you are going to have a serious pile of paper!” The idea has stuck with me ever since, and I have tried to develop a number of micro-habits. These micro-habits have shaped the way I live and have helped me do things I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. The first habit I started with was reading. I have never been a big reader but decided I wanted to start reading more to learn new things. At first, I began reading one page a night before bed. Just one page, that’s it! Anyone can read a single page of a book. No matter what. I would read before bed every single night. What I found was reading the page of the book wasn’t what was important, but rather forming the habit. It’s nearly impossible to make an excuse not to take a minute to read a page of a book. Thus, the habit begins to form. Sometimes it is a struggle, but remember—it’s only one page. Finally, by adding only five minutes at a time, I am able to increase the total amount of reading from five minutes to forty-five minutes per night. The beauty of micro-habits is that they’re so simple, you can’t say no to them or make any excuse not to follow through with them. As humans, we often overvalue what we think we can complete, but then we give up the moment reality. Micro-habits are all about preventing you from giving up due to something being too ‘hard’. When practicing consistently, you can do something without even having to think about it. Micro-habits you probably already fixed into your daily life include brushing your teeth, taking a shower, making a morning cup of coffee, etc. Pick something you want to do and improve on. Then find out the micro-habits you can start today to help you reach your goal, and eventually achieve your dream. 36. Why does the writer talk about weight lifting in Paragraph 2? A. To state the necessity of micro-habits. B. To state the importance of weightlifting. C. To further explain what micro-habits are. D. To further explain how to keep weight lifting. 37. What can you learn from the passage? A. Micro-habits are the only factor that has shaped the writer’s way of life. B. The writer started his reading micro-habit by reading 45 minutes every night at first. C. People need a lot of motivation to keep micro-habits like taking a shower in daily life. D. The writer turned his wish of reading more into a habit through a small micro-habit. 38. What does the underlined word “consistently” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A. Regularly B. Carefully C. Quickly D. Secretly 39. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Micro-habits Can Make Great Progress B. Micro-habits Can Make a Big Difference C. To Achieve Your Goal, Change Your Micro-habits D. To Develop More Skills, Build Your Micro-habits 第四部分 书面表达（共20分） 八、阅读与表达。（共10分，第1-3题各2分，第4题4分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Home Is Where the Heart Is In 2017 a record number of over 41 million tourists from abroad visited the United Kingdom. This number fell to a new low of nearly 6.4 million in 2021 but since then numbers greatly rose to just under 30 million in 2022. It’s likely to reach 35 million in 2023. Why do tourists continue to come to the UK in such numbers? “Harlem World” gives a number of reasons why the United Kingdom is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe. It highlights the breath-taking scenery with historic castles and rolling green fields. Then there are the pubs and delicious food, such as fish and chips and pies. And then there are the people. They are described as being “universally quite lovely”. It goes on to say that “People in the UK are well-read, well-spoken, and well-dressed. They know how to hold a conversation. People in the UK are polite and easy to be around... When you take a trip to the UK, you will be attracted by the people. They are amazing.” Many of us are choosing to stay local and tasting what the good old British Isles has to offer as an alternative (替代物). A third of British are choosing to keep their feet firmly on the ground and holiday at home this year. More and more holiday makers are moving away from lying in the sun by the pool all day and only moving to fill up at the all-day buffet kind of holiday. They are choosing to take the all-action sporting holiday. It’s no longer “eat and drink as much as you possibly can” but “do as many exciting challenging things as you possibly can.” Neil Bevan, General Manager at The Manor & Ashbury Resorts in Devon is excited to see more and more people joining exploring his beautiful part of the country. The Manor and Ashbury Resorts offer an outstanding choice of over 70 different sporting and leisure (休闲) activities including golf, tennis, bowling and archery (射箭). 40.
