We had everything we could have wished for and we were still asking for more. Mr. Sanchez used to mow our lawns. He was very hardworking. Often, he would bring his son that was my age. He had modest toys and modest clothes and he had a hard time fitting in with us mainly because I was too proud to consider him my equal. His name was Cabriel and he was a smart boy, despite all his “shortcomings”. Days went by and we spent our time around each other but without any close connection Fast forward to a couple of years and my father’s business hit the rock bottom. His partner took away all the money and left the country. Soon we had to leave our big house and settle into a small one and we were having a hard time meeting other expenses. Mr. Sanchez was very kind during that time. He and Gabriel came once a week and helped me and my siblings get things in order. That was when Gabriel and I became good friends. We started talking in the evenings when I learnt he was going to start college and he was much smarter than me. Later we came up with a business plan and founded a start-up. I felt no shame in confessing that Cabriel was much more instrumental in the rise of our company. Later, all of my father’s debt was paid off and we were again a happy, prosperous family. I was a truly rich man because I had a great friend by my side for my whole life. This experience was a valuable lesson for me. It does not take a life experience for people to go from rags to riches or the other way around. What is important is someone’s person and behavior toward his other fellows in real life. 34. What happened to the author’s family in his early years? A. Life expenses went up unexpectedly. B. A financial breakdown hit his family. C. Their house was illegally taken away. D.

The change of his living condition. D. The consistent help from Gabriel. 36. Which of the following words best describe Gabriel? A. Intelligent and loyal. B. Persistent and ambitious. C. Introverted but generous. D. Hardworking but modest. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Like father, like son. B. Birds of a feather flock together. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Never judge a book by its cover. 【答案】34. B 35. D 36. A 37. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从富裕到贫困再到重新崛起的经历，以及在这个过程中作者和为他家修剪草坪桑切斯先生儿子 Gabriel成为一生朋友的故事。文章强调了人品和行为的重要性。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Days went by and we spent our time around each other but without any close connection. Fast forward to a couple of years and my father’s business hit the rock bottom. His partner took away all the money andleft the country. (日子一天天过去，我们在一起，但没有任何密切的联系。快进到几年后，我父亲的生意跌至谷底。他的合伙人拿走了所有的钱，离开了这个国家。)”可知，早年，作者家庭遭遇了经济崩溃。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Mr. Sanchez was very kind during that time. He and Gabriel came once a week and helped me and my siblings get things in order. That was when Gabriel and I became good friends.(桑切斯先生在那段时间非常善良。他和 Gabriel每周来一次，帮我和我的兄弟姐妹把事情安排妥当。就在那时， Gabriel和我成了好朋友。)”可知， Gabriel的持续帮助改变了作者对他的态度。故选D项。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“His name was Cabriel and he was a smart boy, despite all his‘shortcomings’.(他的名字叫 Gabriel，尽管他有‘缺点’，但他是个聪明的男孩。)”可知， Gabriel是一个聪明的孩子；再由第五段“Later we came up with a business plan and founded a start-up.I felt no shame in confessing that Cabriel was much more instrumental in the rise of our company.(后来我们想出了一个商业计划，成立了一家初创公司。我毫不羞愧地承认，Gabriel在我们公司的崛起中发挥了更大的作用。)”可知，Gabriel一直陪伴作者身旁奋斗，所以是一个忠诚的人。故选A项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“This experience was a valuable lesson for me. It does not take a life experience for people to go from rags to riches or the other way around. What is important is someone’s person and behavior toward his other fellows in real life.(这段经历对我来说是一个宝贵的教训。人们从赤贫到富裕或从富裕到赤贫，这并不能让我们得到生活经验。重要的是一个人在现实生活中对其他人的态度和行为。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲作者改变对 Gabriel的看法，最后成为好朋友的故事，所以D项Never judge a book by its cover.(切勿以貌取人。)符合语境。故选D项。 C Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem- solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’ re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’ re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve center that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosóphers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction! In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being included in or“ rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比方说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 38. According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in________. A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychology B. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognition C. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brain D. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition 39. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4 further prove ________. A. how body temperature is related to health B. the mind and the body influence each other C. environment impacts how we judge others D. how humans interact with their surroundings 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. D. To deepen the reader’s understanding of EC. 【答案】38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了心理学家的一项EC理论表明，我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知，我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确的说思想塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思想。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem- solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.(EC理论认为我们的身体也负责思考和解决问题。更准确地说，思想塑造身体，身体也同样塑造思想)”可知，作者认为，EC理论的意义在于使我们更接近人类认知的真理。故选D项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. (进一步的研究支持了思想与身体的相互作用)”以及接下来列举了两个实验“In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness.(在一项实验中，测试对象被要求在拿到热饮或冷饮后对人做出判断。当他们的指尖感受到温暖而不是凉爽时，他们都做出了温暖的评价)”表明，身体会影响到思想，以及“And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being included in or“ rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.(反过来也一样；在另一项研究中，研究人员测量了受试者在被纳入或被“拒绝”小组任务后的指尖温度。那些被包括在内的人感到身体更温暖)”表明身体会受到思想的影响，因此推断本段的实验进一步证明了身体与思想间的相互作用。故选B项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it?(既然你已经掌握了身心互动的知识，为什么不使用它呢？)”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.(如果你今天过得很糟糕，一杯温暖的茶会给你带来一瞬间的快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做出任何人际关系决定之前先热身)”可知，理论知识已经知道，且在现实生活中有一定的运用价值，所以作者最后一段是在鼓励读者把EC理论运用于现实生活中。故选C项。 D In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere. Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere. Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park — 2.2 million acres — was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. 41. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone? A. Its complicated geographical features. B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism. C. The mysterious history of the park. D. The exact location of the volcano. 42. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The shapes of volcanoes. B. The impacts of volcanoes. C. The activities of volcanoes. D. The heights of volcanoes. 43. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera. C. Big photograph. D. Bird’s view. 44. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Success comes to those with curiosity. B. First impression cannot always be trusted. C. Nature’s wonder is beyond imagination. D. One is never too old to learn. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时，奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子，原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.(但是克里斯蒂安森在任何地方都找不到黄石火山。)”可知，他困惑的是在黄石公园找不到火山的位置。故选D。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.(当我们谈到火山时，我们大多数人想到的是富士山或乞力马扎罗山的经典锥形，它们是岩浆喷发堆积起来时形成的。它们的形成速度非常快。1943年，一位墨西哥农民惊讶地发现，他的一小块土地上冒出了烟。不到一个星期，他就成了一个500英尺高的圆锥体的主人。不到两年，它的顶峰已经达到了近1400英尺，直径超过了半英里。地球上总共有大约一万个这样的火山，除了几百个之外，其余都是死火山。然而，还有另一种不太为人所知的火山类型，它与造山活动无关。这些火山的爆发力非常强，它们爆发成一个大裂缝，留下一个巨大的洞，即破火山口。黄石公园显然属于第二种类型，但克里斯蒂安森在任何地方都找不到火山口。)”可知，本段讲述了两种形状的火山，一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体，还有一种极具爆发力的火山，它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂，留下一个巨大的洞，故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.(就在这个时候，美国宇航局决定通过拍摄黄石公园的照片来测试一些新的高空相机)”和划线词下文“As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park — 2.2 million acres — was caldera.(克里斯蒂安森一看到照片，就意识到为什么他没能发现火山口：几乎整个公园——220万英亩——都是火山口)”可知，克里斯蒂安森在照片上看到了公园的全景，由此可推知此处意为“放大的照片”。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park — 2.2 million acres — was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across — much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.(克里斯蒂安森一看到照片，就意识到为什么他没能发现火山口：几乎整个公园——220万英亩——都是火山口。爆炸留下了一个40多英里宽的洞——太大了，从地面上的任何地方都看不见。在过去的某个时候，黄石公园一定以一种远远超过人类所知的规模的暴力爆炸了。)”可知，黄石公园本身就是火山喷发留下的一个大洞。因此推断从文章可推断大自然的奇迹超乎想象，故选C。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowledge is power, and the more you learn about mental health, the better the position you may be in to help those facing mental health battles.

They may not need you to offer solutions or even give them a hug F. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is encourage them to seek professional help G. You don’t have to be in a professional health role to attend depression prevention training 【答案】45. G 46. D 47. E 48. A 49. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了四种帮助身边有心理疾病的人的方式。 【45题详解】 根据下文“In fact, anyone can benefit from depression awareness training that focuses on supporting those at risk. You might be a teacher that manages youth or a sports coach wanting to pick up on depression risk signs in your players.”（事实上，任何人都可以从抑郁症意识培训中受益，重点是支持那些有风险的人。你可能是一名管理青少年的老师，或者是一名想要在你的球员身上发现抑郁风险迹象的体育教练。）可知，选项承接下文话题一致，都在说明任何人都可以参加培训。故G选项“你不需要成为专业的健康专家才能参加抑郁症预防培训。”切题。故选G项。 【46题详解】 根据上文“Depression awareness and prevention courses teach you both theoretical and practical skills to recognize warning signs and behaviors.”（抑郁症意识和预防课程将教授你识别警告信号和行为的理论和实践技能。）可知，选项承接上文说明好处。故D选项“这样的课程可能会帮助你预防某人的抑郁症”切题。故选D项。 【47题详解】 根据上文“If someone approaches you in their time of need, it’s not always easy to know what you’re supposed to do, and it may be more beneficial for you to just listen.”（如果有人在需要你的时候来找你，你并不总是很容易知道你应该做什么，倾听对你来说可能更有益。）根据下文“They may just need to get what they are feeling off their chest and to feel valid at that moment.”（他们可能只是需要把心中的感受发泄出来，在那一刻感觉自己是正确的）可知倾听就足够了，连个拥抱都不需要。故E选项“他们可能不需要你提供解决方案，甚至不需要给他们一个拥抱。”切题。故选E项。 【48题详解】 根据下文“Check in with the person experiencing a mental health problem like depression so that they know you are always there for them. Make contact with them regularly to see how they are feeling. Just knowing someone cares can make a world of difference.”（与患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系，让他们知道你总是在他们身边。定期和他们联系，看看他们的感受。只要知道有人关心你，就能让世界变得不同。）可知，本段告诉我们要和患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系。所以本段的标题为“和他们联系”。故选A项。 【49题详解】 根据上文“Your support, guidance, and listening ear can be of great value to anyone going through a tough time.”（你的支持、指导和倾听对任何正在经历艰难时刻的人来说都是很有价值的）以及下文“If someone you know is experiencing self-abuse thoughts or tendencies, don’t delay in seeking emergency help.”（如果你认识的人有自虐的想法或倾向，不要拖延寻求紧急帮助。）可知，选项与上文为转折关系，且成接下文说明有些事情是自己做不到的。要认识到自己的能力极限。故C选项“然而，了解你的极限是很重要的。”切题。故选C项。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题，共12分；第40、41小题，每小题2分；第42题，3分；第43题，5分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Panda Pride Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world. Recently, a giant panda cub (幼崽) born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring—and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic,” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.” The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in China’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”. In the 1950s, China sent pandas as gifts to friendly countries with no strings attached. The most successful donation being that of two pandas to the US in 1972, a move announced during President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to China which marked the beginning of normalized Sino-US relations. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died mainly because they don’t have enough to eat. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of fresh bamboo daily. It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. In acknowledgement of the decline in panda numbers, the Chinese government stopped giving them as gifts. Instead the animals were “loaned”, usually via renewable 10-year rental terms. If a foreign zoo wants to rent a panda, it must first draw up a feasible research program that will help panda conservation. China also banned any form of overseas panda tours for private profit. The nature of panda exchanges since then has changed into an exercise focused on protecting the species through collaborative research. The government is hoping that cooperation between Chinese and foreign scientists can develop new ways of saving the panda and the entire $1 million annual rental fee goes toward protection and research. Countries are trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange. The concern for the vulnerable animal unites all citizens regardless of nationality, class or political persuasion.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily. 50. Why is Xiao Qi Ji, the giant panda cub’s birth so inspiring? ______________________________________________________ 51. What may cause the death of pandas in other countries? ______________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Pandas were loaned to other countries to make profit and boost domestic economy. ______________________________________________________ 53. Apart from pandas, what else can be a cultural ambassador representing China? Name one and explain how it may help China improve international relations. (about 40 words) ______________________________________________________ 【答案】50. Because that was a time when inspiration was truly needed and it has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic. 51. Not having enough to eat. 52. Pandas were loaned to other countries to make profit and boost domestic economy. The purpose of it was to promote protection and research of pandas. 53. Table tennis. Table tennis is the national sport of China and the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American table tennis teams have promoted the normalization of the relations between China and the United States. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是“熊猫外交”的一些基本情况。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段的“This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring—and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic,” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message.(这只幼崽的出生被证明是相当鼓舞人心的——当时确实需要鼓舞。中国驻美国大使崔天凯在视频贺词中表示：“小奇迹的出生是一个真正的奇迹，在疫情期间让我们所有人都感到振奋。”)”可知，小奇迹的出生鼓舞人心是因为那是一个真正需要鼓舞的时刻，在大流行期间，它让我们所有人都感到振奋。故答案为Because that was a time when inspiration was truly needed and it has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段“However, most of them have died mainly because they don’t have enough to eat.(然而，他们中的大多数人死亡主要是因为他们没有足够的食物。)”可知，没有足够的食物可能导致在其他国家的熊猫死亡，故答案为Not having enough to eat. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的“The government is hoping that cooperation between Chinese and foreign scientists can develop new ways of saving the panda and the entire $1 million annual rental fee goes toward protection and research.(政府希望中外科学家之间的合作可以开发出拯救大熊猫的新方法，每年100万美元的租金将全部用于保护和研究。)”可知，熊猫被借给其他国家所得来的租金全部用来促进对熊猫的保护和研究，而不是用来盈利和促进国内经济，故答案为Pandas were loaned to other countries to make profit and boost domestic economy. The purpose of it was to promote protection and research of pandas. 【53题详解】 开放性题目。答案符合逻辑即可，字数为40词左右。例如：据我所知，除了熊猫以外乒乓球可以成为代表中国的文化大使，因为乒乓球是中国的国球，中美乒乓球队之间的友好交流促进了中美关系的正常化。故答案为Table tennis. Table tennis is the national sport of China and the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American table tennis teams have promoted the normalization of the relations between China and the United States. 第二节（共20分） 54. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华，你校将举办科技节。请给你的英国朋友Jim写一封邮件，向他介绍活动情况，内容包括： 1．介绍科技节的相关信息（时间，活动内容等）； 2．邀请对方来参加。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m writing to invite you to attend the Science and Technology Festival at our school with me.

We had everything we could have wished for and we were still asking for more. Mr. Sanchez used to mow our lawns. He was very hardworking. Often, he would bring his son that was my age. He had modest toys and modest clothes and he had a hard time fitting in with us mainly because I was too proud to consider him my equal. His name was Cabriel and he was a smart boy, despite all his “shortcomings”. Days went by and we spent our time around each other but without any close connection. Fast forward to a couple of years and my father’s business hit the rock bottom. His partner took away all the money and left the country. Soon we had to leave our big house and settle into a small one and we were having a hard time meeting other expenses. Mr. Sanchez was very kind during that time. He and Gabriel came once a week and helped me and my siblings get things in order. That was when Gabriel and I became good friends. We started talking in the evenings when I learnt he was going to start college and he was much smarter than me. Later we came up with a business plan and founded a start-up. I felt no shame in confessing that Cabriel was much more instrumental in the rise of our company. Later, all of my father’s debt was paid off and we were again a happy, prosperous family. I was a truly rich man because I had a great friend by my side for my whole life. This experience was a valuable lesson for me. It does not take a life experience for people to go from rags to riches or the other way around. What is important is someone’s person and behavior toward his other fellows in real life. 34. What happened to the author’s family in his early years? A. Life expenses went up unexpectedly. B. A financial breakdown hit his family. C. Their house was illegally taken away. D. They lost close connection with others. 35. What changed the author’s attitude towards Gabriel? A. Their partnership in business. B. The proof of Gabriel’s capability. C. The change of his living condition. D. The consistent help from Gabriel. 36. Which of the following words best describe Gabriel? A. Intelligent and loyal. B. Persistent and ambitious. C. Introverted but generous. D. Hardworking but modest. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Like father, like son. B. Birds of a feather flock together. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Never judge a book by its cover. C Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem- solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’ re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’ re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve center that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosóphers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction! In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being included in or“ rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比方说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 38. According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in________. A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychology B. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognition C. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brain D. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition 39. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4 further prove ________. A. how body temperature is related to health B. the mind and the body influence each other C. environment impacts how we judge others D. how humans interact with their surroundings 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. D. To deepen the reader’s understanding of EC. D In the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere. Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere. Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park — 2.2 million acres — was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. 41. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone? A Its complicated geographical features. B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism. C. The mysterious history of the park. D. The exact location of the volcano. 42. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The shapes of volcanoes. B. The impacts of volcanoes. C. The activities of volcanoes. D. The heights of volcanoes. 43. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera. C. Big photograph. D. Bird’s view. 44. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Success comes to those with curiosity. B. First impression cannot always be trusted. C. Nature’s wonder is beyond imagination. D. One is never too old to learn. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowledge is power, and the more you learn about mental health, the better the position you may be in to help those facing mental health battles.

Recently, a giant panda cub (幼崽) born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring—and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic,” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.” The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in China’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”. In the 1950s, China sent pandas as gifts to friendly countries with no strings attached. The most successful donation being that of two pandas to the US in 1972, a move announced during President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to China which marked the beginning of normalized Sino-US relations. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died mainly because they don’t have enough to eat. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of fresh bamboo daily. It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. In acknowledgement of the decline in panda numbers, the Chinese government stopped giving them as gifts. Instead the animals were “loaned”, usually via renewable 10-year rental terms. If a foreign zoo wants to rent a panda, it must first draw up a feasible research program that will help panda conservation. China also banned any form of overseas panda tours for private profit. The nature of panda exchanges since then has changed into an exercise focused on protecting the species through collaborative research. The government is hoping that cooperation between Chinese and foreign scientists can develop new ways of saving the panda and the entire $1 million annual rental fee goes toward protection and research. Countries are trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange. The concern for the vulnerable animal unites all citizens regardless of nationality, class or political persuasion.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily. 50.
