A hearing aid has three basic parts: a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone, which changes the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and sends them to the ear through a speaker. There are three styles of hearing aids. ·Behind-the-ear (BTE) aids are used by people of all ages. “Mini” BTE is a new kind. These small and open-fit aids fit behind the ear completely, with a narrow tube into the ear canal, enabling the canal to remain open. Thus, some people prefer it because their own voice does not sound “plugged up”. ·In-the-ear (ITE) aids fit completely inside the outer ear. Some ITE aids may have added features, such as a telecoil that allows users to receive sound through the circuitry of the hearing aid, rather than through its microphone. •Canal aids fit into the ear canal and are available in two styles. In-the-canal (ITC) aids are made to fit the size and shape of the ear canal. Completely-in-canal ( CIC) aids are hidden in the ear canal. The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on your hearing needs and lifestyle. Price is also a key consideration. However, just because one hearing aid is more expensive than another does not necessarily mean that it will better suit your needs. Other features to consider include parts or services covered by the guarantee, estimated costs for repair, and the hearing aid company’s reputation for quality and service. For more information, contact: nidcdinfo@nidcd.nih.gov . 21 What helps strengthen the power of electrical signals in a hearing aid? A. The microphone. B. The amplifier. C. The speaker. D. The telecoil. 22. If preferring a hearing aid that keeps the ear canal open, you can choose______ . A. “Mini” BTE B. In-the-ear aids C. In-the-canal aids D. Completely-in-canal aids 23. To buy a suitable hearing aid, you should______ . A. increase your estimated costs B. find the one with more features C. give in to the after-sale services D. consider your needs and lifestyle B Braving the elements On Dec.26, Gelinne, 60, was looking out the back windows of his home at the frozen lake. Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. generous B. brave C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks such as writing or solving math problems require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire (活跃的) together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle (障碍) of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitualized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 28. People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 29. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________. A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 30. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. D Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives. CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly, goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise. This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that count as defect (缺陷) is an undeniable “good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are. Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic (优生学的) thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past. People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian (乌托邦的) future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences. Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to live together with mutual flourishing. Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption. 31. According to the author, CRISPR is________. A. a necessary evil in treating severe diseases B. a questionable tool for removing faulty genes C. a promising technology to conserve resources D a logical approach to improving human genetics 32. The author discusses “common sense” ableism in Paragraph 4 to________. A. compare genetic selection to eugenic thinking B. trace the evolution of genetic selection in history C. offer an example of campaigns to remove bad genes D. reveal the root of the societal view on genetic differences 33. What does the underlined part in the last sentence mean? A. People need to adopt more simplified solutions. B The society should apply CRISPR into other fields. C. This belief might be widely practiced in the society. D. The technology will be used to create a utopian future. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Dark Side of CRISPR B. In the Wake of Genetic Selection C In Defense of Our Bad Genes D. The Promise and Price of Gene Editing 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____35____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____36____ And some organizations have an online database you can check. Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____37____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants. ____38____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones! Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____39____ A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist. B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks. C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do? E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 When I began my Ph. D. in science four years ago, I started feeling like a fish out of water. Everyone around me seemed to be driven by their burning love of science. I felt out of place, uninspired, and incompetent. “Mary, don’t worry. It’s just self-doubt,” everyone told me. For years, I believed them, thinking that with more experience and confidence, things would change. But as time went on, the feelings only got stronger. The idea of quitting made me feel relieved. But I knew I had too much fight in me to leave my program. So I decided to get my degree and then pursue something else entirely. Partly in search of this “something else,” I began writing. At first, I mainly used it as a creative outlet. But eventually, it led me to explore science communication. In writing about newly published scientific papers, I felt curious, enlightened, and empowered. I began to entertain the idea that my problem wasn’t self-doubt — maybe I truly was a fish out of water, and all I needed to do was leave my life on land. I decided to tell my academic teachers about my new passion. However, they could not understand why I would want to pursue anything other than research. Truthfully, I did worry about what my life would look like if I left the world of scientific research. I expressed my concerns to a writing teacher. “Follow your heart, and the rest will follow,” she told me. I knew in my heart that I wanted to pursue science communication after graduation. And once I chose to trust that feeling, I found that I no longer struggled to breathe. I still felt out of place in academic research. But I now knew where I belonged and how to get there. 40. How did the author feel when she began Ph. D. in science? _____________________________________________________________ 41. What did the author use as a creative outlet? _____________________________________________________________ 42.

A hearing aid has three basic parts: a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone, which changes the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and sends them to the ear through a speaker. There are three styles of hearing aids. ·Behind-the-ear (BTE) aids are used by people of all ages. “Mini” BTE is a new kind. These small and open-fit aids fit behind the ear completely, with a narrow tube into the ear canal, enabling the canal to remain open. Thus, some people prefer it because their own voice does not sound “plugged up”. ·In-the-ear (ITE) aids fit completely inside the outer ear. Some ITE aids may have added features, such as a telecoil that allows users to receive sound through the circuitry of the hearing aid, rather than through its microphone. •Canal aids fit into the ear canal and are available in two styles. In-the-canal (ITC) aids are made to fit the size and shape of the ear canal. Completely-in-canal ( CIC) aids are hidden in the ear canal. The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on your hearing needs and lifestyle. Price is also a key consideration. However, just because one hearing aid is more expensive than another does not necessarily mean that it will better suit your needs. Other features to consider include parts or services covered by the guarantee, estimated costs for repair, and the hearing aid company’s reputation for quality and service. For more information, contact: nidcdinfo@nidcd.nih.gov . 21. What helps strengthen the power of electrical signals in a hearing aid? A. The microphone. B. The amplifier. C. The speaker. D. The telecoil. 22. If preferring a hearing aid that keeps the ear canal open, you can choose______ . A. “Mini” BTE B. In-the-ear aids C. In-the-canal aids D. Completely-in-canal aids 23. To buy a suitable hearing aid, you should______ . A. increase your estimated costs B. find the one with more features C. give in to the after-sale services D. consider your needs and lifestyle 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了助听器的基本构成和三种基本类型（BTE、ITE、Canal aids）以及适用人群、使用场景和价格等方面的信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone, which changes the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and sends them to the ear through a speaker.(助听器通过麦克风接收声音，麦克风将声波转换为电信号并将其发送到放大器。放大器增加信号的功率，并通过扬声器将它们送到耳朵)”可知，放大器有助于增强助听器内电信号的强度。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Mini” BTE is a new kind. These small and open-fit aids fit behind the ear completely, with a narrow tube into the ear canal, enabling the canal to remain open. Thus, some people prefer it because their own voice does not sound “plugged up”.(“迷你”BTE是一种新型BTE。这些小而开放的辅助设备完全适合耳后，有一个狭窄的管进入耳道，使耳道保持开放。因此，有些人喜欢它，因为他们自己的声音听起来不“堵塞”)”可知，如果更喜欢保持耳道开放的助听器，你可以选择“Mini” BTE。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on your hearing needs and lifestyle.(最适合你的助听器取决于你的听力需求和生活方式)”可知，要购买合适的助听器，你应该考虑你的需求和生活方式。故选D项。 B Braving the elements On Dec.26, Gelinne, 60, was looking out the back windows of his home at the frozen lake. Then an airplane came into his sight. Gelinne looked up just in time to see that small air plane a few hundred yards away, losing control. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy officer, realized it was going to land in the lake. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (侧滑) to a stop on the broad, frozen lake, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck. Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his boat off the ice and into the water, paddling (划) toward the pilot. Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A lifeboat appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and rushed him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. Why did Gelinne run outside without hesitation? A. He had rescucing experience. B. He wanted to offer help in time. C. He needed more time to prepare. D. He was amazed at what had happened. 25. How did Gelinne help the pilot? A. He made a call to the police. B. He got the pilot out of the water. C. He asked the pilot to grasp the bow. D. He picked up the pilot onto the shore. 26. What Gelinne did in the rescue proved him to be ____________. A. generous B. brave C. curious D. strict 27. What can Gelinne probably learn from the rescue? A. Think twice before action. B. One good turn deserves another. C. It’s never too late to make things right. D. One should always be ready to seize chances. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的男子Gelinne在看到一架小飞机失控即将坠入湖中时，毫不犹豫地前去救援的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate.(这一天，杰琳没有犹豫。)”和第四段中“Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he pulled a boat out from under his back deck.(Gelinne用脚试了试冰面，决定不冒险在上面走。于是他从后甲板下拉出一条船。)”可推知，Gelinne毫不犹豫地跑出去是为了及时提供救援。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the boat’s bow, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat.(Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“只要抓住船，就像你在拥抱你妻子一样。”飞行员抓住船头，但Gelinne知道，他必须在飞行员失去太多体温之前，把他从水里救出来，爬到他身后未碎的冰架上。)”可知，Gelinne让飞行员抓住船头。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront.(这一天，Gelinne没有犹豫。他跑到水边。)”、第五段中“Then he set off, pushing his boat across the ice. It was tough work.(然后他出发了，推着他的船穿过冰面。这是一项艰苦的工作。)”和倒数第二段中“Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now extremely tired, to shore.(过了一会儿，小船又回来了，帮助此时极度疲惫的Gelinne上岸。)”可知，60岁的Gelinne不顾安危，毫不犹豫地去拯救掉到湖里的飞行员，说明他非常勇敢。故选B项。 27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Gelinne was at work in a bank. When a fire alarm rang, he escaped from the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(他突然想起了20多年前的一幕：杰琳在一家银行工作。当火灾警报响起时，他从混乱中逃了出来，但他一直在想自己是否能留在屋里帮忙。)”可知，Gelinne一直为20多年前的行为感到懊悔，结合最后一段中“Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.(尽管如此，他还是很满意自己那天做出了正确的选择。)”可推知，Gelinne这次做出了正确的选择，弥补了过去的遗憾。由此推知，从这次救援中，Gelinne明白了：亡羊补牢，为时未晚。故选C项。 C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks such as writing or solving math problems require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire (活跃的) together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle (障碍) of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitualized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 28. People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 29. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________. A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 30. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于认知任务与大脑能量消耗、习惯及注意力之间的关系，以及如何通过改变习惯和提高注意力来更轻松地完成认知任务。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作)of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire(活跃的)together. (事实上，当一项任务要求大脑违背其通常的习惯时，就会感觉更具挑战性。认知要求高的工作往往需要许多不同的大脑区域以新的模式进行协调，同时使经常一起兴奋的神经回路沉默。)”可知，人们可能会觉得某些认知任务要求很高，是因为这些任务需要大脑各部分之间新的协调。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle(障碍)of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. (研究表明，如果我们能克服开始一项任务的最初障碍，那么思考就会变得更容易。做到这一点的一种方法是关注收益，而不是需要付出的努力。)”提出解决问题的方案，根据下文“In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’re more likely to choose to do hard things. (在2020年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究中，罗格斯大学的神经科学家安德鲁·韦斯特布鲁克和他的同事让参与者选择解决一个简单的记忆谜题来获得少量的钱，或者解决一个更难的谜题来获得更多的钱。这些选项显示在屏幕上，当参与者决定尝试哪个谜题时，他们的眼球运动被跟踪。当人们花更多时间观察挑战性谜题的奖励时，他们更有可能选择它。如果我们的大脑或注意力集中在一个选择的好处上，随着时间的推移，我们更有可能选择做困难的事情。)”可知，作者引用2020年的这一研究来说明段首提出的解决方案是可行，即关注好处可以促使我们选择去做困难的事情。A选项“support a solution(支持解决方案)”符合题意。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. (如果精神努力的付出成为一种习惯，那么执行复杂的脑力任务也不会那么痛苦。当我们不必每天都做出专注的决定时，我们就会省去考虑成本或后果的麻烦。为了让认知要求高的任务成为一种习惯，试着每天在同一时间、同一地点做这些事情。)”可知，让精神工作感觉更容易的方法就是让其成为习惯。C选项“Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily.(每天阅读二十分钟厚重的文学经典著作。)”符合题意。故选C项。 D Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives. CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly, goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise. This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that count as defect (缺陷) is an undeniable “good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are. Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic (优生学的) thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past. People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian (乌托邦的) future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences. Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to live together with mutual flourishing. Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption. 31. According to the author, CRISPR is________. A. a necessary evil in treating severe diseases B. a questionable tool for removing faulty genes C. a promising technology to conserve resources D. a logical approach to improving human genetics 32. The author discusses “common sense” ableism in Paragraph 4 to________. A. compare genetic selection to eugenic thinking B. trace the evolution of genetic selection in history C. offer an example of campaigns to remove bad genes D. reveal the root of the societal view on genetic differences 33. What does the underlined part in the last sentence mean? A. People need to adopt more simplified solutions. B. The society should apply CRISPR into other fields. C. This belief might be widely practiced in the society. D. The technology will be used to create a utopian future. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Dark Side of CRISPR B. In the Wake of Genetic Selection C In Defense of Our Bad Genes D. The Promise and Price of Gene Editing 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了CRISPR基因编辑技术在治疗疾病的同时可能带来的社会伦理问题，特别是该技术可能导致排除遗传差异，从而影响社会多样性。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious— lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. (CRISPR可以用于治疗疾病。然而，这项技术的深远、更令人担忧的前景——科学家们似乎既兴奋又谨慎——在于它有能力从基因库中消除医学认定的导致个体差异的缺陷或异常基因)”可知，作者认为CRISPR技术虽然有治疗疾病的能力，但也有删除基因池中有缺陷或异常基因的风险，这种做法是值得质疑的。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic (优生学的) thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past. (使用基因组操作工具和进行基因选择等同于一种新的优生思维形式，其基础是传播研究学者James L. Chemey所说的“常识”残疾歧视，这是一种信仰体系，它允许人们在否认任何令人厌恶的优生原则的同时，也支持它们。最终，“常识性”残疾歧视体现了一个类似的目标，即清除不可接受的人类变异，这与过去消除所谓的劣等运动的目标类似)”可知，作者讨论“常识”残疾主义是为了揭示社会遗传差异观的根源。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption. (如果CRISPR被用于消除而不是治疗基因差异，我们作为一个社会，本质上是将这种道德主义和简化主义的假设工具化。)”可知，将这种道德主义和简化主义的假设工具化，暗示这种做法可能在社会上广泛实践。故选C。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives. (科学应该指导政策，但是当像CRISPR这样的技术有可能排斥而不是帮助人们过自己的生活时，就需要谨慎)”和最后一段中“Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. (基因组编辑在重塑医学治疗方面是强大的，但它也可能是有害的，因为它把医学及其塑造的社会归类为患病或基因污染的人——那些被认为有坏基因的人——剔除了。我们应该记住，坏的基因并不一定导致坏的生活，正如好的基因并不一定导致好的生活一样)”可知，本文主要讨论了CRISPR基因编辑技术在治疗疾病的同时可能带来的社会伦理问题，特别是该技术可能导致排除遗传差异，从而影响社会多样性。因此，选项A“The Dark Side of CRISPR(CRISPR的阴暗面)”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____35____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____36____ And some organizations have an online database you can check. Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____37____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants. ____38____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones! Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____39____ A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist. B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks. C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do? E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. 【答案】35. G 36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在攀岩运动中应如何保护动植物。 【35题详解】 根据前文“rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many.( 攀岩已经成为许多人喜欢的主流娱乐活动。)”以及后文的“However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. (然而，随着攀岩运动的兴起，悬崖生态系统所维持的惊人的生物多样性正面临压力。)”可知，空白处前后应该是转折关系，前文强调攀岩已经成为了主流娱乐活动，空白处后提到攀岩过程中会对岩壁的生态系统造成不良影响，而G 项“The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.(通过充满野生动物的美丽环境，自然世界提供了令人兴奋的冒险。)”中的an exciting adventure与空白处前的a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many 相呼应，且与下文提到的不良影响形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 【36题详解】 根据前文“ You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb.(你应该检查一下在你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制。)”以及后文“And some organizations have an online database you can check.(一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。)”可知，你应该检查一下你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制，而一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。所以空白处讲的也是在哪里查询该区域是否有鸟类筑巢限制，故B项“This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.(此类信息通常可以在攀岩指南中找到)”，符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing.( 有时攀登者在建立以前没有攀登过的路线时也会清除植物和土壤，使其更适合攀登。)”可知，此处提到攀岩者在开辟适宜攀岩的路线时，通常会除去路上的植物和土壤；后文提到“Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.( 与其他路线开发商和环保人士合作，了解路线开发对植物的潜在影响。)”，讲述需要了解线路开发对植被的潜在影响。故空白处应承上启下，提及为开辟新路可能对岩壁的生态系统产生的影响。因此，C项“This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.(这可能会摧毁之前存在的悬崖生态系统)”，符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp - our smartphones! (这在很大程度上归结于我们每个人都携带着一台微型电脑，它可以流畅地捕捉图像、位置和声音，并将它们与时间戳相关联——我们的智能手机！)”可知，本段主要谈论由于智能手机的普及，我们为科学做贡献变得更为便利。A项“You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.(你可以通过成为一名公民科学家来提供帮助。)”概括本段主要内容，指出你可以通过智能手机或者当代科技的帮助来成为一名平民科学家收集物种或者地理的相关数据。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据前文前提到“These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. (这些组织实现这些目标的资金往往有限，往往依赖于志愿者的支持。)”可知，通过与自然保护组织合作，减少攀岩活动对环境的影响。但这些组织往往资金有限，依赖志愿者的支持。D项“Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do?(为何不联系一个能够激励你的组织，问问你能做些什么?)”符合语境，D项中的one 指代前文的conservation organization，并鼓励读者为什么不联系一个激励自己的组织，成为其中的志愿者，为在攀岩运动中保护动植物提供帮助，该选项符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 When I began my Ph. D. in science four years ago, I started feeling like a fish out of water. Everyone around me seemed to be driven by their burning love of science. I felt out of place, uninspired, and incompetent. “Mary, don’t worry. It’s just self-doubt,” everyone told me. For years, I believed them, thinking that with more experience and confidence, things would change. But as time went on, the feelings only got stronger. The idea of quitting made me feel relieved. But I knew I had too much fight in me to leave my program. So I decided to get my degree and then pursue something else entirely. Partly in search of this “something else,” I began writing. At first, I mainly used it as a creative outlet. But eventually, it led me to explore science communication. In writing about newly published scientific papers, I felt curious, enlightened, and empowered. I began to entertain the idea that my problem wasn’t self-doubt — maybe I truly was a fish out of water, and all I needed to do was leave my life on land. I decided to tell my academic teachers about my new passion. However, they could not understand why I would want to pursue anything other than research. Truthfully, I did worry about what my life would look like if I left the world of scientific research. I expressed my concerns to a writing teacher. “Follow your heart, and the rest will follow,” she told me. I knew in my heart that I wanted to pursue science communication after graduation. And once I chose to trust that feeling, I found that I no longer struggled to breathe. I still felt out of place in academic research. But I now knew where I belonged and how to get there. 40.

D. in science four years ago, I started feeling like a fish out of water. Everyone around me seemed to be driven by their burning love of science. I felt out of place, uninspired, and incompetent.(四年前，当我开始攻读科学博士学位时，我开始感觉像一条离开水的鱼。我周围的每个人似乎都被他们对科学的强烈热爱所驱使。我感到格格不入，缺乏灵感，无能为力。)”可知，当作者开始攻读科学博士学位时她觉得自己像一条离开水的鱼，格格不入，没有灵感，无能为力。故答案为She felt out of place, uninspired, and incompetent, justlike a fish out of water. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Partly in search of this “something else,” I began writing. At first, I mainly used it as a creative outlet.(部分是为了寻找这种“别的东西”，我开始写作。一开始，我主要把它作为一个创造性的发泄方式。)”可知，作者把写作作为一种创造性的发泄方式。故答案为Writing. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“I expressed my concerns to a writing teacher. “Follow your heart, and the rest will follow,” she told me. I knew in my heart that I wanted to pursue science communication after graduation.(我向一位写作老师表达了我的担忧。“跟随自己的心，其他的就会跟着来，”她告诉我。在我的内心深处，我知道我想在毕业后从事科学传播。)”可知，题干这句话中“After learning about the author’s concerns, the writing teacher encouraged her to quit scientific research immediately.”错误部分为“quit scientific research immediately”，因为写作老师只是鼓励作者跟随自己的内心，追求科学传播，不要马上放弃研究。故答案为After learning about the author’s concerns, the writing teacher encouraged her to quit scientific research immediately. Because after learning about the author’s concerns, the writing teacher encouraged her to follow her heart. 【43题详解】 考查主观评价。根据题干的意思“用一个例子来说明你将如何把从故事中得到的灵感应用到你的生活中。”可知，当我发现数学作业很乏味，但却喜欢设计ppt时，我就追随了这种激情。我现在帮助同学制作学术演讲幻灯片，把我的兴趣变成了一项非常适合我的有用技能。故答案为When I found math homework tedious but enjoyed designing PPTs, I followed this passion. I now help classmates make academic presentation slides, turning my interest into a useful skill that fits me well. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim对你校即将开展的“青春创意，温暖邻里”的社区公益活动很感兴趣，发来邮件向你询问。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 活动意义。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 社区公益活动：community volunteer activity 青春创意，温暖邻里： Youth Creativity, Warm Neighborhoods Dear Jim, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m thrilled to hear about your interest in our upcoming community volunteer activity, “Youth Creativity, Warm Neighborhoods”.
